The Method to Solve It

"Fellow Daoist, you won't blame me for not helping, will you? Thirty-Two is not someone to be trifled with. I advise you to stay away from him in the future."

Fifty-Eight leaned closer, looking rather sly.

"Do you know Thirty-Two?"

Qin Fei stopped and asked casually.

"Hehe, Evil Cultivator raises Gu poison, at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. There's only one like him in Shangyu Market. He seems unfamiliar to you, fellow Daoist. Could you be a cultivator from elsewhere?"

Qin Fei would never reveal his identity, and said calmly:

"There's something wrong with the jade grid on the ground. Since you have the time to investigate my identity, why don't you go ask those Rogue Cultivator what's going on?"

"No problem, no problem, leave this to me."

Fifty-Eight gave a dry laugh and walked towards the person who had previously mocked him.

He deliberately avoided the jade grids on the ground; after what had just happened, everyone knew there was something wrong with those grids.

"Fellow Daoists, do you want to confess willingly, or do you want to test my skills? Don't worry, my technique is excellent; I guarantee you'll experience pleasure to the heavens."

Under his intimidation, the men quickly confessed everything they knew.

It turns out that each floor of this hundred-story tower is equipped with mechanisms and restrictions.

The flat Shitou on the ground are the safe zone, while those jade grids will randomly teleport you to other floors of the tower if you step on the wrong one.

Only by taking each step correctly can you reach the next level.

Qin Fei and the other person asked a few more questions.

For example, what would happen if you flew directly to the entrance without touching the jade grids?

For example, if you are randomly teleported to the last floor and successfully crack the code, can you directly reach the top?

But the answer they received left them disheartened.

Only by climbing step by step, without making a single mistake, can one reach the summit.

Any attempt to use tricks or opportunistic methods will result in being randomly teleported to another floor.

"That's interesting. I thought those Thirty-Two fierce-looking demons were going to put on a good show, but it turns out they were just teleported to another floor."

Fifty-Eight lowered his head and chuckled softly; even his mask couldn't hide his joy.

Qin Fei was speechless; this guy really loved watching the drama unfold.

"Fifty-Eight, our task is to draw the internal structure and murals on each floor. This restriction doesn't affect us much. Although we are randomly teleported, it will take some time, but we can still complete it. Why don't we begin?"

Fifty-Eight had no objections and immediately stepped towards a piece of jade.

However, nothing happened.

You dared to lie to me!

His first reaction was that those Rogue Cultivator weren't telling the truth, but seeing their surprised expressions, he realized something was amiss.

"Could it be that I got lucky and made the right choice?"

He randomly selected another piece of jade, but it still didn't teleport him away.

Four or five in a row, all in the right place.

"That's true!"

Fifty-Eight felt a surge of excitement, but as he took another step, his figure blurred and suddenly disappeared.

Qin Fei's face remained calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.

It wasn't the luck of the Fifty-Eight that surprised him, but rather the few steps the man had just taken that led him to discover a shocking secret.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the jade stones on the ground.

Inspired by the Fifty-Eight, I suddenly understood the source of that sense of familiarity.

Isn't this the Heavenly Secrets Sect's Inheritance Wooden Lock, laid out flat?

The solution has changed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional!

Qin Fei gasped, then suppressed his shock and tried his best to appear calm.

He wanted to test his idea.

There are still quite a few cultivators on the first floor; it wouldn't be good if they were seen by others.

Fortunately, these people were not highly skilled; they were all Rogue Cultivator in the early to mid-stages.

After a moment's thought, Qin Fei made a decisive decision.

With a single hand Method Formula, the Still Water Sword sprang out of his Storage Bag with a "hum".

"Get out of the tower within three breaths, or you'll stay here."

The other Rogue Cultivator were shocked, wondering what had gotten into this cultivator.

Some people gritted their teeth and decisively left the tower.

Some people deliberately touched the jade grid and were teleported to other levels.

Of course, some people remained unmoved, seemingly not believing that Qin Fei would actually kill them.

"This fellow Daoist is far too arrogant. I..."

"Bass--"

The Still Water transformed into a beam of cold light, striking directly at the man's brow.

With a top-grade Law Artifact and the cultivation level of the Late Qi Refining stage, this person didn't even have time to react.

"Two breaths left."

Qin Fei is not a murderer, but he will not be merciful in critical moments.

If these people insist on not leaving, then they can only blame their bad luck.

The deterrent effect was surprisingly good.

The remaining few Rogue Cultivator were terrified and ran out of the tower in a panic.

Those who were pressed against by the sword tip practically crawled out.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fei was the only one left on the first floor.

There's no time to lose; someone might be sent down at any moment.

Qin Fei immediately put his ideas into practice.

After taking several steps, he found himself on the same path as the Fifty-Eight Institute without any problems.

The key is whether the next step can be successful.

Qin Fei took a deep breath and took a step forward.

They did not teleport away.

"It's done!"

Overjoyed, he continued walking without stopping, taking over a hundred steps until he reached the dark entrance.

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the hall, and a figure slowly emerged.

Qin Fei knew that someone was about to be teleported down.

He darted into the entrance in one swift motion.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, and the next moment, Qin Fei found himself in an identical hall.

However, the number on that protruding rock had suddenly changed to two.

Second floor!

The solution proved effective.

It seems that this hundred-story tower was originally designed for disciples within the sect to study Inheritance Wooden Lock.

Without knowing the solution, reaching the summit is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Qin Fei fell into deep thought.

The scene inside the tower was different from what he had imagined; he had thought it would be fraught with danger.

As a result of these restrictions, if someone makes a move, they can simply step onto the jade grid and be teleported away.

Under these circumstances, no one had the will to take action.

With his safety assured, and especially having learned how to break the restriction, Qin Fei hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should explore it further.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Fei shook his head.

"Alright, let's finish the mission first, and also check if there are any other dangers."

He found a place to sit cross-legged and began to paint murals and maps on the second floor.

The murals on the second floor depict a huge pool in which many disciples are meditating cross-legged.

At the head of the pool sat a Big Yellow.

Qin Fei found it interesting, but he didn't forget to check the text corresponding to each mural.

He was quite happy to have obtained the four-character sequence, and he was even more eager to see what kind of Cultivation Method these characters combined would form.

After finishing the mural, Qin Fei did not hesitate and took a step forward, stepping onto the jade grid.

The light shifted, and the figure vanished.

Although the jade stones are randomly transported, as long as you try enough times, you'll eventually be able to collect all the murals.
