The Four Mythical Beasts of Antiquity

Qin Shi Huang left without making a decision, only asking Ma Feifei for time to consider. The matter was too significant for Qin Shi Huang to make a decision so easily.

Ma Feifei couldn't possibly influence the thoughts of a monarch, so this Main Quest was shelved again.

After Qin Shi Huang left, the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two experienced a surge in customers coming in to read books. Ma Feifei entrusted all of this to Chang Kong, while he himself took the "Yun Ji Qi Jian" and went into the backyard.

"Ma Feifei, come quick, it's done!" In the backyard, Yun Qingyang stood in front of a huge cauldron with firewood burning underneath. Yun Qingyang was clearly very interested in this kind of thing.

"Where did you get this furnace?" Ma Feifei asked curiously, circling the furnace. The furnace was almost up to his chin and Yun Qingyang's shoulder. It was bronze in color and had images of mythical beasts carved on its outer wall. It was clearly not an ordinary item.

"What my father left in the ring is a divine artifact," Yun Qingyang replied Frillish.

Holy crap! A divine artifact! Ma Feifei was so shocked that he subconsciously touched it, only to be met with a burning sensation that made him immediately pull his hand back. However, his gaze remained fixed on the cauldron. This was actually a divine artifact! How come he hadn't noticed this cauldron when he ran into Yun Qingyang's ring?

"Ugh! What an idiot I am! This ring was left to her by her father. How could it be just some junk? There should be a hidden array within an array, with all the good stuff hidden inside." Ma Feifei slapped her forehead, feeling utterly regretful.

"What are you talking about?" Yun Qingyang asked curiously.

No, it's nothing. Ma Feifei put aside his distracting thoughts, looked at the furnace in front of him, his eyes darting around for a while, and after making up his mind to steal the furnace, he found a rocking chair to sit down and instructed: Don't rush, let me comprehend this alchemy technique first and then we'll start refining medicine.

"How long will it take you?" Yun Qingyang complained a little.

"Soon, very soon," Ma Feifei reassured Yun Qingyang. He wasn't lying to her. As the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, he had no talent whatsoever in comprehending the benefits of any of the books in the Bookstore. In fact, if Ma Feifei wanted to, he could obtain the benefits from every book. It was just that the system had once restricted his ability to comprehend the benefits in the books. Although this restriction disappeared after the system was upgraded, Ma Feifei had no intention of comprehending those benefits and remained a lazy bum.

It wasn't that he didn't want to comprehend it; it was simply that the benefits from those books weren't very useful to Ma Feifei, especially after he acquired the Kirin Arm and the Innate Purple Qi. There was no one on the entire Azure Dragon Continent who could rival him.

Not to mention it also has the function of Book Spirit Protects Master.

Simply put, Ma Feifei is now invincible not only inside the Mysterious Bookstore, but also outside of Bookstore.

You're already invincible, what's the point of learning those things? It's like being an adult and then having to learn how to Mud Sport from a child—it's both boring and pointless.

However, he still needed to learn the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes of Refining Alchemy; these were things he absolutely had to learn. Ma Feifei thought to himself, holding the Yun Ji Qi Jian with a smug look on his face.

The Yun Ji Qi Jian contains eleven volumes on alchemy and five volumes on prescriptions. It would take Ma Feifei some time to finish reading them all. As a result, in the backyard of the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two, Ma Feifei was reading the Yun Ji Qi Jian while Yun Qingyang was running back and forth in the yard, adding firewood to the furnace to prevent the fire from being extinguished.

Occasionally, Ma Feifei would catch a glimpse of Yun Qingyang's straightforward demeanor and couldn't help but chuckle. Didn't this silly girl know they hadn't even started practicing alchemy yet? What was the point of lighting a fire? Was she just burning air?

Of course, Ma Feifei dared not say these words aloud now, otherwise if Yun Qingyang remembered that he had worked for nothing, he would probably stab Ma Feifei with his sword.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have mastered the art of alchemy, become a master alchemist, and obtained all the pill formulas in the <Yun Ji Qi Jian>.

As the system notification sounded, Ma Feifei felt a surge of information flooding into his mind, including various pill formulas and techniques needed to master during pill refining.

Alright! Ma Feifei put away the "Yun Ji Qi Jian" and clapped his hands as he stood up.

"Is it ready? Hurry up!" Yun Qingyang was fanning the Ember with a palm-leaf fan, his face blackened by smoke. When he saw Ma Feifei get up, his bright eyes lit up with excitement.

But I need the medicinal herbs now. Ma Feifei found out the method for refining the Longevity Pill. The steps were no different from other pills, but there were many more medicinal herbs involved. Although Ma Feifei's father owned a pharmacy, those herbs were all ordinary ones, so it was definitely impossible for him to refine the Longevity Pill.

"What kind of medicinal herbs do you need?" Yun Qingyang asked confidently, as if she had a vast collection of herbs.

Hmm... Ma Feifei glanced at Yun Qingyang's spatial ring without realizing it, thinking to himself: Just how many treasures have I missed?

I need one Dragon Ball, two Everlasting Grass, Rootless Water, three drops of Phoenix Blood, four Divine Beast Inner Cores, and various auxiliary medicinal herbs of rank nine and above... Ma Feifei rattled off a whole bunch of things, leaving Yun Qingyang completely bewildered.

"I should have them all. Let me look." Ma Feifei thought that with so many things, especially rare ones, it would be difficult for Yun Qingyang to take them all out, but Yun Qingyang's words proved him wrong.

What left Ma Feifei speechless was that after Yun Qingyang finished speaking, she actually started taking things out.

This is Dragon Ball. Yun Qingyang threw out a Dragon Ball. Yun Qingyang has several Dragon Ball. She can create one every few thousand years. Ma Feifei didn't find it strange that she had Dragon Ball.

This is the Everlasting Grass. Yun Qingyang took out two more pure white grasses, each a foot long and with only three forked stems, emitting a faint glow. The grasses contained an extremely pure energy. The moment Yun Qingyang took out the spatial ring, the spiritual energy in the entire space seemed to be purified, becoming even more gentle.

Tsk tsk. Ma Feifei took the Everlasting Grass and looked at Yun Qingyang's spatial ring with envy. She couldn't have been more regretful. She used to think she had gotten a great deal by stealing some eighth and ninth-tier spiritual artifacts from it, and she thought Yun Qingyang was a fool who didn't know. But now Ma Feifei realized that Yun Qingyang didn't care about these junk pieces at all. She had hidden away all the real good stuff!

Just thinking about Ma Feifei makes my heart ache.

'I need to find another opportunity to go in,' Ma Feifei thought to himself.

These are the inner cores of Divine Beast. Yun Qingyang then took out four more inner cores of different colors. As soon as the inner cores appeared, the previously calm Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and earth instantly surged and poured into the four inner cores.

Four illusory Divine Beast beasts appeared on the inner core, roaring towards the sky.

Ma Feifei narrowed his eyes and recognized the four Divine Beasts.

Azure Tiger, Vast Lion, nimble snake, Thunder Eagle.

Ancient Divine Beast recorded in the Azure Dragon Chronicle! Those that can be called ancient Divine Beast are far more powerful than the Divine Beast on the Azure Dragon Continent now, but these four ancient Divine Beast still died at the hands of Yun Qingyang's father, which is enough to prove how terrifying the Frost Giant Dragon, one of the ten ancient Divine Beast, was.
