The Hottest Place in Dubian Town
"Oh, what a pity. I wonder when we'll be able to get in." The onlookers were incredibly envious.
This is truly a blessed land! An opportunity that only immortals could possess is right before them. However, the entry conditions are too harsh. Not only is Literary Examination Qualification Certificate required, but there are also certain requirements for cultivation level. Cultivators below the Spirit Emperor realm simply cannot pass the martial arts test. Such a natural weakness cannot be solved by Spirit Crystal.
"This is for big shots; we're not qualified. We should go back to writing books," a cultivator at the Spirit Venerable realm sighed, shaking his head. Even with a great opportunity, it's all for naught if you don't meet the requirements.
"Writing a book is even less hopeful. My education level isn't high. In half a month, I've only managed to squeeze out six words. Even a white paper would be a struggle," a burly man in the crowd said with a wry smile. He could kill people and hunt spirit beasts without a problem, but asking him to pick up a pen and write a book was truly a challenge.
He couldn't even enter the instance; his writing skills were a major weakness. It was rare for the Mysterious Bookstore to host two events that were so beneficial to cultivators, yet he couldn't participate in either of them. It was truly frustrating.
"Let's go hunt spirit beasts!" a cultivator exclaimed. "This morning, the Wantong Trading Market released another announcement about the Mysterious Bookstore, saying that Orange Fragment are hidden on spirit beasts within the Nine Heavens Mountain. If anyone hunts spirit beasts and obtains Orange Fragment, they can exchange them at the Wantong Trading Market for items such as Divine Abilities and Spells and Spirit Crystal."
"Really?" The burly man looked surprised. He had just returned from his training at Nine Heavens Mountain and hadn't had time to go back to town yet, so he didn't know about this news.
"It's all over the news! Can't you see cultivators rushing towards Nine Heavens Mountain everywhere?" Another cultivator pointed behind him, and several figures flew past in a flash, all heading towards Nine Heavens Mountain.
"It's not just Orange Fragment; Divine Abilities and Spells are also officially listed on the Wantong Trading Market today. However, the prices are too high. The cheapest Divine Abilities and Spells requires tens of millions of Spirit Crystal, and only cultivators who have eaten Plum Blossom and fused with them can purchase it." As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, his vision suddenly darkened slightly, and a shadow appeared on the ground. Everyone looked up.
"Hey! How are you guys down here?" Above, a white cloud Levitate in mid-air, and a young man was perched on it, waving to them.
"See that? This is a new supernatural ability that came out today. It's called something like 'Soaring Cloud Riding Mist.' It doesn't require any Spiritual Power to control, and you can keep flying as long as you want." There was a hint of sourness in the cultivator's tone.
"And that one, look at him, he disappears in a single step. That's a new supernatural ability called Shrink the Earth to an Inch, a surefire way to escape or chase people."
"See those little hills that are popping up on the ground? There are people underneath them too. It's the same supernatural power called Earth Escape Technique, which allows them to move freely underground."
"And that..."
All sorts of Divine Abilities and Spells flew everywhere, inspiring both envy and jealousy.
This August, too many unbelievable things happened in Dubian Town. The Mysterious Bookstore launched several events in a row, completely overshadowing all the major events in the Azure Dragon Continent, and it didn't even make it onto the hot list.
With the sale of Divine Abilities and Spells and the launch of the hunt for Tianshu Fragment in Nine Heavens Mountain, the movement of cultivators in Dubian Town can be basically divided into three categories.
The first type is those who bury themselves in writing books at home. These people are either highly educated or think they are highly educated, and they are determined to write a high-quality book before the Mysterious Bookstore's anniversary celebration next month, so that it can be placed on the Mysterious Bookstore's bookshelves for the world to read and understand.
Besides wanting to profit from the books, these people also have a high level of vanity and hope to become famous overnight!
The second type are those who, knowing their knowledge is shallow, give up writing books. Those with money buy several Divine Abilities and Spells and go to the Nine Heavens Mountain to hunt spirit beasts and cultivate spells, hoping to increase their Dharma Power in this way. Those cultivators who cannot afford Divine Abilities and Spells and spells are the same; they want to obtain Tianshu Fragment by hunting spirit beasts and then go to the Wantong Trading Market to exchange for a Divine Abilities and Spells so that they can begin to cultivate spells.
The third type of people are the richest and also the strongest. They are obsessed with the Journey to the Journey to the West dungeon, collecting Literary Examination Qualification Certificate every day in order to clear the dungeon and obtain a lot of benefits such as divine artifacts and Divine Abilities and Spells.
Of course, if these three types of people happen to have the opportunity to visit Mysterious Bookstore, they will naturally put aside what they are doing, go to the Bookstore to read for Tianshu, and then continue with their unfinished business.
Such a busy scene is enough to prove how popular Dubian Town is right now; there's no time to care about what's happening on the Azure Dragon Continent.
For Ma Feifei himself, this month has also been very busy. First, he has to sort out the Four Books and Five Classics in the warehouse and have the people sent by Gongsun Qiong deliver them to various colleges and universities, since these are the materials for study.
Furthermore, with the support of Taoism Feng Yiming's 10 billion Divine Abilities and Spells Spirit Crystal, Ma Feifei paid off the 8 billion loan and used the rest to purchase Divine Abilities and Spells, then put them all on the market at once.
In this way, both Confucianism and Taoism began to develop. Once they met the system requirements, which is what is known as the Flourishing of the Confucian Way and Daoism, the curse of no one becoming an immortal for 30,000 years on the entire Azure Dragon Continent would be broken, the Great Dao would be completed, and immortality would be imminent!
The Tianshu Fragment in the Nine Heavens Mountain cannot be overlooked, but it is unrealistic to let Ma Feifei search for the remaining ninety-eight Tianshu Fragment by himself. Therefore, Ma Feifei came up with a solution: to use the help of a large number of cultivators to find the Tianshu Fragment. All he needs to give up are some Spirit Crystal and Divine Abilities and Spells. Overall, it is not a loss.
The anniversary celebration tasks were simple; the system had arranged everything perfectly, so Ma Feifei didn't need to worry about it. The rest was up to Feng Yiming.
After nearly half a month, Feng Yiming finally agreed to become Carrying Book Slave for the Mysterious Bookstore. Faced with life and death, honor and disgrace were like fleeting clouds, and there was really nothing to hesitate about.
Ma Feifei had already prepared the books that Feng Yiming needed to memorize. With the system's hints, the only suitable book was the Epic-grade- quality formation book, <Eight Formations Diagram>.
This book, "The Eight Formations Diagram," is a book on battle formations created by Zhuge Liang. The reason it has the effect of prolonging life is that it contains a life-extending artifact, namely Zhuge Liang's Seven Star Lantern!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang once set up the Seven Star Lantern in an attempt to prolong his life, but the attempt failed because Wei Yan broke into his tent without permission, and he eventually died at Wuzhang Plains.
Besides the divine-level Eight Formations Diagram, the other benefit found in the Eight Formations Diagram is the Seven Star Lantern, a divine artifact.
It's just that Ma Feifei couldn't comprehend the Seven Star Lantern within; otherwise, there would have been no need for Feng Yiming to endorse it; he could have simply used the Seven Star Lantern to keep Ma Feifei alive.
August 16th, 351st year of the Great Chu Dynasty, Saturday.
In the backyard of the Mysterious Bookstore, Feng Yiming form, stood Ma Feifei beside him, holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other, his expression solemn.
Behind him, Yun Qingyang, Zhang Yunji Chang Kong, Luan Feng, Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, and Ba Jiu solemnly watched this somewhat weary figure.
As the longest-lived, most powerful, and most honored cultivator on the Azure Dragon Continent to date, he is a topic that no cultivator living on the Azure Dragon Continent can avoid.
Great Chu Chu Sheng, Feng Yi Ming!
