Walking Books

The golden drizzle didn't last long, only about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but it covered the entire Azure Dragon Continent. However, apart from Dubian Town, cultivators in other places didn't know that this golden drizzle was caused by the Mysterious Bookstore.

Everyone believed this was a divine sign, and most people considered it an auspicious omen. For a time, the entire Azure Dragon Continent was filled with jubilation and excitement.

However, this did not include the cultivators of Dubian Town. At this moment, they were quietly watching the golden pillar of light in the sky continuously emit golden rain until the golden rain disappeared and finally the pillar of light slowly disappeared into the Bookstore.

"What on earth is going on?" Until the moment the pillar of light disappeared, no one could figure out what it meant.

"Who knows? This golden drizzle doesn't seem to do any good. It can't even penetrate the body," a cultivator said doubtfully. He thought it was another Seven-Colored Liuli Rain like the previous anniversary event, but he found that although the rain was different in color, it couldn't seep into the body and was completely useless.

"Yes! What a disappointment." Most people nodded in agreement.

But in Dubian Town, a very small number of people listened silently to these words, quietly hiding in a corner, feeling the mysterious aura brought about by the golden drizzle entering their bodies.

Inside the Bookstore, a flash of golden light appeared, Mo Xie stood once again in front of the silver counter.

"This?" Mo Xie was still a little confused. He looked around and finally focused his gaze on the silver table, where the book "Investiture of the Gods" lay quietly.

"You're out?" Ma Feifei asked casually as she closed the <Su Nu Jing>.

"Ah, it's out." Mo Xie replied subconsciously.

"Did you get the goods?" Ma Feifei asked again.

"How did you know, shopkeeper!" Mo Xie exclaimed, instinctively taking a step back.

"I told you to get it, how could I not know?" Ma Feifei was utterly speechless. She spread her hands on the counter and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me."

Mo Xie's face instantly fell, as if he had lost a loved one. He said hesitantly, "Shopkeeper, you see Xiao Mo, I've been imprisoned under the Nine Abyss for five hundred years. Not only has my life been hard, but I've also suffered unspeakable humiliation at the hands of that old man from Wan Jianshan. Now that I've finally obtained a treasure, please let me study it so that I can go to the Vast Academy to seek revenge on that old man from Wan Jianshan, right?"

"Besides..." At this point, Mo Xie, like a wronged little wife, clutched the hem of her clothes, wanting to resist but not daring to raise her voice, and said in a low, timid voice, "Doesn't the Mysterious Bookstore have a rule that whoever comprehends the book's profits keeps them? How can you, shopkeeper, forcibly take them..."

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Ma Feifei was truly amused and exasperated by Mo Xie's behavior. She beckoned to him and said, "Give it to me. I don't want this. I just want to look at it. I have another task for you later."

"Really?" Mo Xie's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer.

"Of course, bring it here quickly," Ma Feifei said, tapping the table.

"Okay." Mo Xie nodded in agreement quickly. In reality, he was just pretending to be pitiful. If Ma Feifei really wanted to take it, there was nothing he could do.

Mo Xie raised her right hand, reached her left hand into her sleeve, and pulled out a golden, scroll-like object.

"Here you go." Mo Xie presented it with both hands, but his eyes were fixed on the scroll, refusing to look away.

Ma Feifei grabbed the scroll and took it.

Feeling the heavy aura emanating from within the scroll, Ma Feifei's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned serious.

"Bite!"

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Ma Feifei's mind.

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Investiture of the Gods."

"Ding! Main Quest' The Romance of Wind and Cloud' has been successfully started!"

The system notification sound also indicated that the new quest that appeared when Ma Feifei completed the Main Quest Longevity and Immortality had been successfully started.

Romance of Wind and Cloud Three Kingdoms (Main Quest)

Details: Please find a holder of the list to enter the <Investiture of the Gods> and receive the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip. After successfully receiving them, the Main Quest of the Romance of Wind and Cloud will be unlocked. The host needs to send the holder of the list to various places on the Azure Dragon Continent to find those listed and recruit them to the Mysterious Bookstore.

Task Reward: Activate the Walking Books feature.

This was the latest Main Quest that Ma Feifei received at that time, and it was also the reason why he wanted to find Mo Xie to retrieve the Investiture of the Gods. The key was that Ma Feifei needed Mo Xie to find the people on the Investiture of the Gods.

Finding people is difficult, but bringing them under the wing of Mysterious Bookstore is even more difficult.

After all, while Mysterious Bookstore is powerful and attractive enough, that doesn't mean everyone is willing to become Mysterious Bookstore lackey.

But that's the requirement of the task. Once someone is on the Investiture of the Gods, they have no choice but to accept it, no matter how much they want to. Therefore, the selection of the person holding the list is quite important.

We need to find someone shameless enough to do it.

Among the people Ma Feifei knew, Mo Xie was second to none in terms of both cultivation level and shamelessness. Ma Feifei had originally planned to go find Mo Xie in person after a while, but now that he had delivered himself to his door, Ma Feifei naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

When Mo Xie claimed that the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip were his gains, Ma Feifei could only shrug and laugh it off, knowing that these things would definitely disappear after the mission was completed.

Of course, Ma Feifei wouldn't tell Mo Xie.

Opening the Investiture of the Gods, Ma Feifei glanced at it and found that there were many names he had heard of or knew, but most of them were unfamiliar to him.

The number of people on the list differs somewhat from the number of Investiture of the Gods in the Investiture of the Gods the Gods.

The novel lists 365 people on the Investiture of the Gods, but the Investiture of the Gods in the Mysterious Bookstore only lists 36.

The nature of these actions is also different; the former is the conferment of Investiture of the Gods, while the latter is the recruitment of subordinates. Moreover, Ma Feifei can be certain that these people are related to the mission rewards.

"Walking Books, that's interesting." Ma Feifei thought to himself for a moment before closing the Investiture of the Gods and handing it to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie had been staring at the Investiture of the Gods in Ma Feifei's hand. Upon seeing this, he quickly took it, hid it in his sleeve, and covered it with his hand. This demeanor was completely unlike that of a Demon Cult Leader Sect.

"Should we take the God-Beating Whip too?" Ma Feifei asked casually.

"Ah..." Mo Xie looked surprised, not expecting Ma Feifei to know even this.

"Don't worry, I won't take yours." Ma Feifei waved his hand, looked at Mo Xie, and said, "You can take both of these things, but there's one thing you must do your best to complete, understand?"

"Shopkeeper, please feel free to give any orders. Xiao Mo, will gladly die for you!" Mo Xie quickly cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"Xiao Mo? He's a damn old codger who's thousands of years old!" Ma Feifei scoffed, but didn't say it aloud. Instead, he pointed to Mo Xie's sleeve and said, "The Mysterious Bookstore is going to be hiring more staff. You have a list on there, understand?"

"Understood! Don't worry, shopkeeper Xiao Mo, I'll definitely bring them all back." Mo Xie immediately patted his chest and said confidently. What a joke! With the Mysterious Bookstore's reputation at this stage, who wouldn't want to fight tooth and nail to join? This task is far too easy.

"I don't care what methods you use, I just want to see the person," Ma Feifei said seriously.

"Yes, shopkeeper!" Mo Xie replied solemnly.

"Okay, go ahead." Ma Feifei nodded in satisfaction.

With a "whoosh," a gentle breeze swept by, Mo Xie had vanished from the Bookstore.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Are you that afraid I'll steal your things?"
