The Sacred Book
The Qilin transformed, Jade Book fell to the ground.
Ma Feifei caught the Jade Book as its light disappeared.
A cool, refreshing sensation emanated from the Jade Book. Even with Ma Feifei's current Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Emperor cultivation, he couldn't resist it and couldn't help but shiver, almost dropping the Jade Book.
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long. Gradually, the coolness on the Jade Book subsided, and Ma Feifei was able to recover and begin to examine the Jade Book in her hand.
It's more accurate to call it a bamboo slip than a book; it's what's known as 'books made from bamboo slips'.
Before the invention of paper, bamboo slips were used for daily writing.
Generally speaking, bamboo slips are made of bamboo strips, with one line of text written on each strip. All the bamboo strips of an article are then bound together to form a bamboo slip.
However, the bamboo slip in Ma Feifei's hand was not made of bamboo strips, but rather seemed to be made of 'jade', and it had quite a weight to it.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?" Ba Jiu asked curiously. He didn't know why he had suddenly done something he didn't understand, and even spat out this thing. It was only because he was carefree that he didn't panic even though he didn't understand. If it had happened to someone else, they would probably have been having a lot of internal monologues.
"Hmm, I need to look into it. You go to Rest first." From what Ba Jiu said, Ma Feifei knew that he must have just acted as a quest NPC. However, Ma Feifei himself didn't understand what this Jade Book was, so he could only give a vague answer.
"Oh, then I'm going back to my room to Rest. "Ba Jiu didn't press further, said goodbye to Ma Feifei, and went back to his room.
After watching Ba Jiu enter the room, Ma Feifei sat back down in the rocking chair, preparing to open the Jade Book.
The night was deep, the crescent moon hung high, and the air grew slightly cool.
Looking at the Jade Book in his hand, Ma Feifei felt a sense of heaviness in his heart for some reason.
The origin of this 'Jade Book' is very clear: it was transformed from the Book Spirit in the Analects. The Analects is related to Confucius, and the Records of Gleanings records that when Confucius was born, Qilin 'spit out Jade Book ', which is exactly the same as the scene just now.
In other words, the Jade Book in Ma Feifei's possession has a great connection with Confucius.
"A unicorn spits out Jade Book, a sage will appear." Could it be that a sage has been born? Ma Feifei pondered this sentence and slowly opened the Jade Book.
To Ma Feifei's surprise, the Jade Book was completely blank, without a single word.
What does this mean? Ma Feifei was a little confused. She picked up the Jade Book and flipped through it. It was spotless, without a single speck of dirt.
Just as Ma Feifei wondering, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 'Sacred Book'.
That's it? Ma Feifei waited for a long time, only to find that the system had only said a few words and then disappeared without any follow-up or explanation of what this 'Sacred Book' meant.
Forget it, I'll deal with it tomorrow. After struggling for so long without getting anywhere, Ma Feifei was exhausted. Besides, this so-called 'Sacred Book,' while it looked magical, was actually just made of magical materials; it contained absolutely no content. This instantly made Ma Feifei lose interest in continuing the research.
Souma Ma Feifei put the 'Sacred Book' back into his spatial ring and walked towards his room.
The night continues.
The next morning, it was still the weekend.
Luan Feng arrived at the Mysterious Bookstore early to continue drawing her Fenghuang. Yun Qingyang was also very diligent because of writing. Ma Feifei was sitting in the courtyard writing before she woke up. Ba Jiu was practicing drawing. Ma Feifei went to bed late and was now lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard taking a nap. As for the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, he was even more direct and hadn't gotten up yet.
The weather was already getting cooler in early September, especially in the mornings. A gentle breeze was blowing, bringing a refreshing chill that made people feel languid. The rustling sound of the wind through the maple trees was like Hypnosis, lulling people into a dream.
Under these circumstances, Ma Feifei actually fell asleep, and he even had a dream, a dream that seemed familiar.
In his dream, he held the Emperor's Sword, full of vigor and ambition, unifying the entire Azure Dragon Continent. The Five Great Empires and Seven Great Academies of Azure Dragon groveled at his feet, and the top one hundred fairies on the Fairy Ranking were all added to his harem. Hmm, remove that Goddess Yin Yue. This dream is so magical, so magical that Ma Feifei actually remembered having the same dream before. He vaguely remembered that it was when he first transmigrated to the Azure Dragon Continent, and he would have such a dream every night. However, the memory of each dream ended precisely at the harem, and Ma Feifei couldn't remember what happened afterward.
But this time, Ma Feifei discovered that he could see the plot of his dream that was about to unfold.
Later, in a dream, Ma Feifei successfully repaired the incomplete Great Dao, and from then on, there were no more Barrier on the Azure Dragon Continent. Everyone could cultivate normally and eventually break through to the Immortal Realm.
Just as everyone on the Azure Dragon Continent was celebrating breaking through the Barrier to immortality, Ma Feifei, the instigator and the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore whose fame had reached its peak, disappeared at that moment!
Then there's Ma Feifei!
With a loud slap, Ma Feifei was startled awake by Yun Qingyang's tap.
"What are you doing?! What are you doing?! Don't you know you're going to scare people to death?!" Ma Feifei jumped up from the rocking chair in a panic, shouting loudly at Yun Qingyang, still shaken.
Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei quietly without saying a word. She slowly put down the bound book in her left hand and placed it on her lap. She coughed with her right hand, "Don't get excited... I was just teasing you. Calm down, calm down. "Ma Feifei grabbed Yun Qingyang's right hand, forcefully pried her wrist open, snatched the unsheathed Qingshuang Sword, and threw it onto the rocking chair.
The rocking chair snapped in two and fell to the ground like a broken shell. Ma Feifei glanced at it, and her eyelids twitched.
"I don't want to see you end up like that chair, understand?" Yun Qingyang said earnestly to Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei rice like a chick, said, "I understand, that will never happen. Let's skip this topic. By the way, what did you want to see me about?"
Although Ma Feifei was a little suspicious about the recurring dream and somewhat regretful that he couldn't continue watching, Ma Feifei didn't believe the dream was real. At least until now, Ma Feifei didn't possess the 'Emperor's Sword' or unify the Azure Dragon Continent. As for taking the top 100 fairies from the Fairy Ranking into his harem... well, Ma Feifei thought that was something he could try.
