"Dream into Divine Machine"

The method to stimulate Righteous Qi is very simple: take a wisp of Ma Feifei's innate purple energy or Gongsun Qiong's Righteous Qi, and strike it on the stone tablet to unlock the seal inside. Once the Righteous Qi contained within reaches a critical point, it will be automatically released and nourish the students in the Confucian Dao Academy.

Of course, the distribution of Righteous Qi is also based on each student's own level of understanding of it. If students do not study diligently, they will certainly not be able to acquire Righteous Qi.

Or perhaps the students in the Confucian Dao Academy classes of the entire academy did not study hard and did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, so they could not fill the critical point of the stone tablet with righteous Righteous Qi. In that case, none of the students would be able to receive the feedback of Righteous Qi.

"From today onwards, I hope you will all study the Four Books and Five Classics diligently. They contain a wealth of wisdom, and if you can learn them all, you will benefit immensely." Ma Feifei gave this final piece of advice before riding away on a cloud.

He no longer needed to concern himself with what happened next. As the saying goes, all the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. From the moment his Righteous Qi was ignited, the Confucian Dao Academy within the Wu'an Academy was destined to become a place that everyone flocked to. No one could resist the Captivate of leveling up simply by reading books.

"Swish swish~~"

One after another, clouds rose from the square: Yun Qingyang, Luan Feng, Ba Jiu, Lian Yi, Zhang Caicai...

The students below watched quietly as Ma Feifei and his group rode away on the clouds, their eyes filled with awe and respect. The owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, a figure who rose like a comet, had left a deep impression on them.

"Alright, alright, everyone's gone. Stop looking. My brother saw a dress he liked at the market the other day, but it was too expensive for him. Now that it's not my turn, Mu Qingyi's turn, get out of here. We're going to do a crowdfunding campaign later." Mu Qingyi finished his chicken leg and took out a roster from his spatial ring.

"Don't worry, your big brother won't take advantage of you. I've kept a record of every penny you've sponsored for me. When I become successful in the future, I'll definitely not forget you." Mu Qingyi felt that he was the best big brother in the world, never bullying his little brothers.

"Huh? Why is no one leaving?" Mu Qingyi glanced around and found that there wasn't a single person left in the entire Confucian Dao Academy square.

"Greetings, elder brother!" Suddenly, all the students straightened their clothes, bowed in unison, and said loudly.

The entire audience consisted of Mu Qingyi's underlings...

"Ahem." Mu Qingyi blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her. She peeked at the roster and muttered under her breath, "Does Big Brother already have this many underlings?"

Although the voice was soft, everyone present was a cultivator, and they heard it clearly. Upon hearing this, each of them twitched their lips in embarrassment.

Damn it, isn't it you who takes from everyone you see?

However, no one dared to say this out loud. Crowdfunding is fine, since there's no specific amount required. If you're rich, donate more; if you're not, donate less. It's all love, no matter how much!

"Alright, let's start the crowdfunding now!" Mu Qingyi waved her hand and finished speaking.

"Whew!"

A gust of wind blew by, and everyone saw a giant golden hand appear on the horizon, reaching directly towards Mu Qingyi.

"It's time to set off." A soft voice accompanied by a giant hand.

Everyone recognized the voice as that of Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore.

"Buzz~!"

The overwhelming aura sent the students in the square flying ten meters away. With a wave of the golden hand, Mu Qingyi was grabbed and sent flying into the air.

"Hey hey hey~~~ Wait until I finish crowdfunding first!"

"My brothers, you mustn't forget me Mu Qingyi. Your elder brother is still your elder brother. You must wait for your elder brother to return..."

"..."

The news that Mu Qingyi, one of the Twin Stars, had been taken away by the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore spread like wildfire.

Throughout the day, the entire Wu'an Academy was immersed in a sea of joy.

That evening, a loud laugh, tinged with sobs, echoed from the Prince of Wu'an's residence.

According to unreliable sources, the Dean went on a rampage at home all night, laughing and crying, and supposedly, for the first time ever, a chicken appeared on the dinner table that night...

The next day, the entire Wu'an Academy was given a day off. The academy did not give any reason, but everyone knew that it was to celebrate the departure of Mu Qingyi, one of the Twin Stars.

Of course, Mu Qingyi would never know any of this. If she knew that her departure would make Wu'an Academy so happy, she would definitely be unhappy.

At this moment, she was happily running around with Ma Feifei and his group.

Because of the experience with the Wu'an Academy, Ma Feifei abandoned the idea of sightseeing along the way and instead flew in the sky to find the academies he passed by, and then went down to observe them.

He discovered that these academies were similar to the Wu'an Academy, with the Confucian Dao Academy almost abandoned. The reasons were surprisingly consistent: they all believed that studying the Four Books and Five Classics was useless. Therefore, Ma Feifei had no choice but to visit each academy to inspire Righteous Qi.

However, there are many academies in the Chu Kingdom, and Ma Feifei also needs to participate in the Great Desolation Relic. It is impossible for him to travel all over the entire Chu Kingdom by himself. Therefore, for places that are not on the way, he can only wait until he finishes participating in the Great Desolation Relic and then make a trip to the capital to let Gongsun Qiong handle the problem.

Finally, after stimulating dozens of the Confucian Dao Academy, Ma Feifei and his group arrived at their destination: the Great Desolation Relic located south of the Chu Kingdom.

On the 19th day of the tenth month of the 351st year of the Great Chu Dynasty, only one day remained before the opening of the Great Desolation Relic.

The Great Desolation Relic live up to their name.

The landscape was desolate, with no trees, flowers, or people for thousands of Norman around.

The wind here is extremely strong, blowing sand and stones everywhere.

Ma Feifei and his group had to use a light shield to walk on the Great Desolation Relic, otherwise being hit by these small stones would be very annoying.

Fortunately, these minor issues were nothing to Ma Feifei and his group. After all, apart from Lian Yi and Mu Qingyi, everyone in this group was a super boss. If they were to be injured by these flying sand and stones, they might as well head back home and not participate in the Great Desolation Relic.

"Why did you come to the Great Desolation Relic? Are you planning to enter the Great Desolation Relic?" Mu Qingyi was quite lively, quite the opposite of the quiet Lian Yi, and she livened up the atmosphere of the group along the way.

"You guessed right, but there's no prize." Ma Feifei held a copy of "Dream into Divine Machine" in his hands, reading it with great interest.

This book, "Dream into Divine Machine," is the earliest ancient chess manual that can be seen in Ma Feifei's world. It was already a secret manual during the Ming Dynasty. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Catalogue of Books in the Grand Secretariat," the original text of "Dream into Divine Machine" consisted of twelve volumes.

The original diagram shows two types of chess pieces, black and white, but the black pieces are the general, elephant, and pawn, while the white pieces are the general, elephant, and pawn, following the rule that white moves first.

"Dream into Divine Machine" is divided into "Dream Manual" and "Leisure Manual", containing thousands of endgame situation diagrams, demonstrating its large scale and rich material.

This is one of the basic ancient chess manuals that Ma Feifei bought from the System Shop before leaving, for use in the Great Desolation Relic.

After all, Ma Feifei doesn't even understand the rule that pawns can't move backward in chess, let alone how good he is at the game.
