Ma Feifei built up the Mysterious Bookstore as readers discovered that its books could affect their cultivation and health. After helping Yang Chengzhi fight spirit beasts, Ma Feifei brought an injured, mysterious woman to Zhou Manor, where her presence froze the banquet.
Ma Feifei traveled to the Imperial Capital with Yun Qingyang and watched Yang Chengzhi rise through the Dragon Ranking Tournament, where he defeated Xiaoyaozi in a deadly duel. Back in Dubian Town, Ma Feifei began seeking funds to copy a valuable formula and promote My Fair Princess, just as Zhang Yunji arrived at the bookstore.
Ma Feifei’s bookstore drew crowds with books that brought fortune and cured Zhou Zhuling, while he faced a deadly spirit-beast attack and helped Gongsun Qiong sell My Fair Princess Part Two. The arc ended with Ma Feifei beginning the Diamond Sutra and secretly keeping the Spirit Crystals Yun Qingyang wanted.
Ma Feifei faced Puzhi’s divided nature, used the Diamond Sutra to defeat his evil side, and gained a new cultivation method. Short on funds, he sold special entry numbers and finally added Pokémon to the Bookstore, drawing Liu Changsheng into its world.
Ma Feifei expanded the Bookstore and opened a Pokémon tournament that sent a thousand cultivators into the Pokémon world. As they struggled to catch Pokémon with their cultivation sealed, Liu Changsheng escaped a storm with Lapras while Jiang Bieli and Jiang Yibei fought rivals over Bulbasaur.
Ma Feifei watched the Book World claim lives and bring Zhang Yunji together with the Sacred Beast Flame Emperor, then recruited Zhang Yunji and prepared a Pokémon Tournament. The arc ended with Ma Feifei winning an estate for Zhang Yunji and catching two thieves who tried to break into the Bookstore.
Liu Ying won the Purple Ying Sword from Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain, while Ma Feifei prepared a holiday journey tied to Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo’s tomb-robbing ambitions. His visit to the Zhang family led to a lucrative wager and the Twelve Kings’ resource contest, where he received a new Pokémon evolution mission.
Jiang Yibei and Li Bieli settled their dispute in the Twelve Kings' competition while Ma Feifei explored Emperor Chu the Conqueror's tomb and brought its hidden instance to the Divine Bookstore. As Ma Feifei prepared to teach The Analects and ran the instance as its boss, the team faced an endless stream of increasingly powerful skeletons.
Ma Feifei began teaching the Analects to three thousand students while Chu Huaixiang’s party cleared the Tomb of the Hegemon and recovered the Peerless Sword. Liu Ying and many students gained cultivation through their studies, while Li Bieli remained outside the bookstore seeking help and Crown Prince Yan arrived with a special-number card.
Ma Feifei guided Crown Prince Yan and Li Bieli while Luan Feng and Chang Kong reached sainthood through their book trials. As the bookstore’s readers watched new missions unfold, Gongsun Qiong began reforming Mangcang Town and uncovered a nearby Spirit Crystal Vein Mine.
Gongsun Qiong completed her Analects trial and gained Righteous Qi, while ghosts escaped from Ma Feifei’s book and began killing cultivators. Ma Feifei turned the danger into a hunt for Tianshu Fragments, but the bounty sparked disorder in Dubian Town, so he enlisted Yun Qingyang to collect them.
Ma Feifei opened the Mysterious Bookstore’s first Pokémon Championship as political tensions with Great Chu mounted and he pursued the Tianshu Fragments and a branch store. The arc ended with the championship finals exposing Li Bieli’s frail, burned appearance after Venusaur defeated Jiang Yibei’s Charmeleon.
Ma Feifei helped Li Bieli become the Diamond Sutra’s Book Slave, then held a question-and-answer event that exposed Zhang Yunji’s false answer key. He opened the Lotus Lantern world for a thousand cultivators, where Liu Changsheng began pursuing a Tianshu Fragment as Chang Kong collapsed outside.
Ma Feifei led a points-gathering mission through the Lotus Lantern world, won the Lotus Lantern, and returned to manage its rewards while Chang Kong recovered. He later entered the Pokémon side quest, and the arc ended with Yun Qingyang frozen inside an ice dragon while Ma Feifei was trapped in his room.
Ma Feifei expanded the Mysterious Bookstore into Qin, where Jing Xing learned to summon rain and a conflict over Lian Yi drew the shop into the Qin court’s affairs. Back at the main store, Ma Feifei discovered Primordial Violet Qi as Gongsun Qiong faced a Phantom Organization assassin on the road to the imperial capital.
Ma Feifei rescued Gongsun Qiong before her accession, formed a blood pact with Yun Qingyang, and prepared a paid sermon on cultivating Dharma Power. Powerful cultivators gathered in Dubian Town, while Shen Wansan considered revealing a connection to the assassination attempt against Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei established the Mysterious Daochang, preached the Tao Te Ching, and gained the Great Sage Set by entering Journey to the West. He chose the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey to replace Sun Wukong, while Yun Qingyang’s encounter with a masked man brought a customer complaint to the Bookstore.
Ma Feifei recruited Ba Jiu, confronted Yuwen Hongdu in Han Feizi, and traveled to Nine Heavens Mountain, where he helped Yun Qingyang reclaim the Ice Crystal Palace. He renovated the Mysterious Bookstore with the artifact’s power, then left for the Qin State branch while Feng Yiming waited to see him.
Ma Feifei expanded the bookstore’s reach, completed the Journey to the West instance, and helped Feng Yiming prolong his life as a recitation slave. When Tianshu Fragments drove spirit beasts into a devastating assault on Dubian Town, Ma Feifei helped the defenders survive, but a black-clad woman appeared with an Orange Fragment after massacring a tavern’s occupants.
Ma Feifei tracked the Sacred Beasts, then entered The Legend of the Righteous Demon and helped Yun Qingyang defeat the flood dragon. Back in Dubian Town, he prepared for the bookstore’s anniversary while searching for the ninety-ninth Tianshu Fragment and telling Liu Ying an extravagant origin story.
