Qin Shi Huang!

The most powerful king of the five kingdoms, Qin State, has descended upon Chang'an Street!

"Finally, the wait is over!" Ma Feifei looked at Qin Shi Huang and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because his Main Quest could finally begin.

Indeed, the Main Quest given by the system is related to this King of Qin State.

The name of the mission also suits this monarch perfectly: 'Longevity and Immortality'.

Main Quest: Longevity and Immortality.

Task Details: Qin State Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty, has two lifelong ambitions: to unify the Azure Dragon Continent and to achieve Longevity and Immortality. The host is requested to have Qin Shi Huang study the <Longevity Art> and purchase the Epic-grade- quality book <Yun Ji Qi Jian> to learn alchemy and concoct an elixir of Longevity and Immortality for Qin Shi Huang to consume. (Note: This is an optional task for Qin Shi Huang. The <Longevity Art> is also a task book. Regardless of whether Qin Shi Huang accepts it, the task will be considered complete, and the book will be automatically reclaimed by the system. The task will be successful once Qin Shi Huang consumes the elixir of Longevity and Immortality.)

Quest Reward: Legendary-grade Quality Bedchamber Arts Manual

This was the Main Quest given by the system when Ma Feifei first stepped into the Branch Store Teleportation Array. In theory, this quest wasn't difficult; all he had to do was get Qin Shi Huang to read the book. The <Longevity Art> was something Qin Shi Huang to figure out on his own. However, Qin Shihuang's status meant that Ma Feifei wouldn't be able to meet him so easily. So, initially, Ma Feifei planned to use Jing Xing, the head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Jing Xing Pavilion, to establish contact with Qin Shi Huang, and then find a way to get Qin Shi Huang to come to the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two.

However, it now seems that Ma Feifei's previous ideas no longer need to be implemented, as Qin Shi Huang is clearly more interested in him.

"This must be the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore. Greetings, Your Majesty." Qin Shi Huang approached Ma Feifei, a rare smile appearing on his solemn face. Although he did not bow, he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Hiss!"

Everyone watched in shock as the King of Qin State actually bowed to a young man?

"Who exactly is he?" This is the question on everyone's mind.

However, some people carefully recalled Qin Shi Huang's words and the four words "Mysterious Bookstore." Gradually, many people's eyes showed a look of realization, and when they looked at Ma Feifei again, they were filled with respect and doubt.

Mysterious Bookstore!

These four words have almost resounded throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent. Whether cultivators or ordinary people, all are talking about various legends of the Mysterious Bookstore.

However, no one would associate the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two with the Mysterious Bookstore, because the Mysterious Bookstore is located in the Chu Kingdom, in Dubian Town!

But now, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore has actually appeared in the Qin State! Doesn't that mean the Bookstore behind this owner is the Mysterious Bookstore?

Thinking about this, the way these people looked at the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two changed somewhat.

"Your First Emperor is too kind," Ma Feifei replied with a smile. She wasn't surprised that Qin Shi Huang knew her identity. From the moment Grand General Bai Ling appeared, Ma Feifei knew why Qin Shi Huang had personally come to Chang'an Street.

It's all because of him, Ma Feifei, because of the Mysterious Bookstore, because the Mysterious Bookstore now deserves to be visited by anyone!

Even if he were Qin Shi Huang, it would still be the same!

"Is the shop owner planning to open a branch in the Qin State?" Qin Shi Huang seemed very approachable, without any airs of a monarch, and looked at the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two behind Ma Feifei with curiosity.

"Ahem, it's been open for a while now." Ma Feifei was a little embarrassed. He said it was a branch, but after so long the branch hadn't made any progress. It seemed pretty shameful to say that.

"That is truly a blessing for our Great Qin!" Qin Shi Huang was very happy and clapped his hands. Immediately, a servant brought over a plate, on which lay a spatial ring.

"I am overjoyed that the shop owner has opened a branch in Qin State. I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."

Ma Feifei glanced at the ring in the plate, shook his head in refusal, and said, "I cannot accept a gift without merit. First Emperor Qin Shi Huang, please take the item back."

Since coming into this world, Ma Feifei has been very mindful of cause and effect. He didn't want to be embarrassed if he encountered any trouble after accepting Qin Shi Huang's gift.

When Qin Shi Huang saw that Ma Feifei refused, he did not press the matter. Instead, he looked at the Bookstore and asked, "May I go in and take a look?"

The Mysterious Bookstore was famous Azure Dragon Continent, Qin Shi Huang was naturally very curious about it. If it weren't for the fact that the Mysterious Bookstore was located in the Chu Kingdom, he would have wanted to go and see it. Now that the Mysterious Bookstore had opened a branch in the Qin State, he definitely wanted to go in and have a look.

"Of course, it costs one Spirit Crystal per hour to read." Qin Shi Huang's desire to go in and read was exactly what Ma Feifei wanted; how could he possibly stop him?

"Very well!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and instructed his attendant to hand over the payment for the book. Chang Kong, who had been waiting Chang Kong at the back, stepped forward to accept it, while Ma Feifei turned around, took his hand, and said, "Please."

"Please go first, shop owner."

"Together, together."

Then Ma Feifei and Qin Shi Huang entered the Mysterious Bookstore. Qin Shi Huang didn't ask a single question about what had just happened outside, and he didn't even glance at Qin Ziying, who had been beaten, as if he wasn't his son.

But who would care about Qin Ziying at this point? From the moment Qin Shi Huang uttered the words "Mysterious Bookstore," everyone knew that this farce was over, even Qin Ziying and Di Heyu themselves.

The Mysterious Bookstore, a force that stands atop the Azure Dragon's Peak, is not something that people like them can contend with. Didn't you see that even Qin Shi Huang personally came to pay homage to the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore?

"Sigh, we've really messed up this time." Di Heyu sighed helplessly as he watched Ma Feifei walk in.

Qin Ziying stood at a distance, head bowed, silent.

The room was completely silent.

Inside the bookstore, Qin Shi Huang didn't bring anyone in, showing no fear whatsoever that Ma Feifei might stage an assassination attempt on the King of Qin.

Ma Feifei naturally wouldn't have such thoughts. What left Ma Feifei speechless was that as soon as Qin Shi Huang entered, none of the cultivators outside dared to come in, even though they knew that the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two was a branch of the Mysterious Bookstore. This shows how high Qin Shi Huang's deterrent power was in the hearts of the people of Qin State. His reign of two thousand years was no joke.

However, judging from what just happened, the news that the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two is a branch of the Mysterious Bookstore should spread soon. At that time, there will naturally be no shortage of cultivators coming to the branch to read books. Although it is somewhat different from Ma Feifei's previous plan of taking the boutique route, it has also helped the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two get on the right track faster. Ma Feifei simply let things develop on their own.

The most important thing right now is to complete the Main Quest. There's no time like the present, and who knows when Qin Shi Huang will come to the Bookstore again? With that in mind, Ma Feifei took out the quest book, "The Longevity Art," from the drawer.

This book, "The Longevity Art," does not require Ma Feifei to copy or purchase. However, the book will be taken back by the system after the task is completed, making it a one-time use item. If Ma Feifei wants to purchase it, he can go to the System Shop and buy it using Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points.

Qin Shi Huang was curiously wandering around the bookshelves, touching the Blue Quality books, looking at the Yellow Quality books, and even the Epic-grade- quality books. Every time he randomly flipped through a book, a look of amazement would appear on his face, clearly indicating that he also felt the strange power within the books.

"Your First Emperor, I have a book here that I'm sure you'll find very interesting."

"Oh? May I ask what book it is?"

"A book that can grant Longevity and Immortality."
