Du Feng's guess was right. Not only did he look like he was a newcomer, it could be seen from his entire body that he was from another place. Moreover, this was the first time he came to South Heaven Realm's North Shore Immortal City. The first thing this kind of person would do upon arriving at North Shore Immortal City was to quickly buy a map to understand the geography of the city.
Those who knew that coming to Myriad Scriptures Pavilion to buy a map were already relatively mature and steady martial artists. Those martial artists who had just entered North Shore Immortal City and couldn't find their way around were easily scammed by the little swindlers on the streets. An incomplete map was sold to them at a high price.
"Does your shop have books on formations?"
Du Feng didn't deny that he was a newcomer, but since he entered Myriad Scriptures Pavilion, he obviously couldn't just buy a map. That would be too embarrassing. After all, this was South Heaven Realm's North Shore Immortal City, there might be something new.
"Yes, please go up to the second floor."
When the shop assistant heard that Du Feng wanted to buy books on formations, his attitude immediately changed. This was because most of the new martial artists would just buy a map and leave. Things like maps were just a thin piece of kraft paper and weren't worth much. Buying books on formations was different. One book wasn't cheap. If he bought a whole set, it would be a lot of money.
"Alright, thank you."
Du Feng wasn't in a hurry to buy a map on the first floor. Myriad Scriptures Pavilion definitely had that kind of thing in stock. He could buy it anytime. Instead, he directly went up the stairs to the second floor. Seeing that he really entered the hall on the second floor, the shop assistant was sure that he was really here to buy books on formations.
Under the guidance of the shop assistant, Du Feng arrived in front of a row of bookshelves. As far as the eye could see, this row of books were all related to formations. Other than the knowledge of formations that he was familiar with, there were also many methods of setting up formations that he had never seen before.
Tsk tsk tsk … As expected of a place in the Southern Heaven Realm, even the formations were so different. Du Feng didn't choose those that were too different. After all, things that were too different would take a long time to learn. He looked along the bookshelves one by one, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
He was very familiar with the author of five of the books, it was Old Man Zuo Xuan.
Wow, Du Feng was shocked. He never expected that the elder of the Formation Master Alliance's Zuo Master would actually write a book in the Heaven Realm, and it was even the famous South Heaven Realm.
"I want all five of them."
Du Feng acted as if he had found a treasure, buying all five books written by old man Zuo Xuan in one go.
"Uh … Mr. Objective, why don't you pick another book?"
The shop assistant was in a dilemma. He didn't recommend Du Feng to buy these five books.
"What's wrong? Does your restaurant still pick customers?"
Du Feng was a little unhappy when he heard this. What do you mean? It's not like I'm not paying. Didn't you open a shop to sell things? Why aren't you allowed to buy things? Actually, it's fine if you don't want to buy it, but you don't have to raise the price. Since it's on display and you've even brought me here, why are you saying that I'm not allowed to buy it?
"No, no, don't misunderstand. The author of this book has a special request. "
The shop assistant panicked when he saw that Du Feng was angry. After all, from the way he was dressed, he should be a rich young master. If he really wanted to buy it, he might still look back in the future. Thus, he explained patiently. It wasn't that their shop didn't want to sell it.
It was because the author of this book, Old Man Zuo Xuan, had a request. To buy his book, money alone wasn't enough. One had to understand his theory of Zuo Xuan. To prove that one understood Zuo Xuan's theory, one had to open the book.
Don't think that the book was made of paper. Normal people really couldn't open it. Even if one used a sword to cut it, it would be useless. This was where Old Man Zuo Xuan was amazing. He had set up a formation on the book. He had forcefully turned this set of books into a set of complicated formations.
If your formation skills weren't enough, you wouldn't be able to open this book. If you were really strong and had a much higher level of Cultivation, you could use brute force to open the book. But if that happened, the contents of the book would all disappear, and the entire book would explode.
There had been many people who had their eyes on this book, but gave up after hearing this request. There were also people who weren't convinced. They struggled in the bookstore for a few days, but still couldn't open any of the books. The five books seemed to grow together, and couldn't be opened no matter what.
Then, he met a hot-tempered person who used a sword to hack at Old Man Zuo Xuan's book. In the end, not only did he not manage to cut it open, he was hit in the head by the back of the sword, bleeding on the spot. In order to not make a big deal out of it, the bookstore even paid him some money. Thus, this time, when Du Feng wanted to buy this book, the shop assistant hurriedly guided him to buy something else.
Tsk tsk tsk … as expected of Old Man Zuo Xuan, I like it.
"Don't worry, I will follow the author's request."
Du Feng was about to burst out laughing. There was actually someone who got his head smashed by a formation book. Was he here to make a joke? If he really was a formation enthusiast, he would definitely use formations to solve it. Even if he couldn't solve it, he could go back and study it. He couldn't use a sword. Foolishly using a sword was simply asking to be humiliated.
He was lucky that he used a sword. At least the back of the sword was thicker and couldn't be sharpened. If he used a double-edged sword, wouldn't he cut off his head when it bounced back? The more he thought about it, the funnier it was.
Laughing was laughing, but Du Feng quickly calmed down. He placed his hands on the Array Formation Book and quickly felt the inner workings of the Array Formation. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be confused by this formation. But Du Feng was different. He had learned Old Man Zuo Xuan's formations in the lower realm, and he had specially studied Zuo Xuan's theory.
Seeing that Du Feng had calmed down and started to slowly solve the formation, the shop assistant was relieved. Because a person who could calm down to solve a formation was definitely not a martial artist who messed around. This set of books had quite a reputation, and it had made many people lose face in the past.
Now that Du Feng was solving the formation next to the bookshelf, he quickly attracted the attention of a few people. At first, there were only three people, then it became five or six, and then a few dozen people surrounded him, blocking the entire row.
"Look, someone is solving that book."
"Really? I wonder what kind of joke he's going to make this time."
"Hahaha, I think he's going to be sent flying. Last time, that person fell so hard that his nose was broken."
"Yeah, yeah, I saw it too. That book series is amazing. I tried it too."
