"Could it be that there's some sort of hint in these paintings?"
Just from the content of these paintings, there was nothing worth pondering about. However, Qin Yi had seen some spy movies in his previous life.
Hiding the beginning and ending of the text, and hiding the meaning of the text in a certain pattern.
This inspiration flashed through Qin Yi's mind, but it reignited his desire to explore.
For a moment, Qin Yi began to seriously explore between the calligraphy and paintings.
Xia Ji and Qin Yi had always maintained a tacit understanding. Seeing that Qin Yi was not leaving, she also steeled her heart and refused to leave the first level.
At this moment, seeing Qin Yi seriously studying the paintings, Xia Ji's brows furrowed slightly.
Although Xia Ji was unwilling to admit it, her every move was more or less influenced by Qin Yi.
This kid from the Yin-Yang Academy of the Azure Luo Nation was not stronger than the Dao Foundation Realm geniuses of the Seven Nations. In terms of background, he was a nobody.
But it was this guy who had almost made her, the Holy Maiden of the Green Lotus Society, waste all her efforts.
Since the first failed pursuit, Xia Ji's entire battle plan had been destroyed by Qin Yi step by step.
The most annoying thing was that she could not do anything to him.
Seeing that he was studying the paintings, Xia Ji could not help but think that Qin Yi might be able to find some clues from the paintings.
"I'd like to see what this fellow can comprehend."
Xia Ji had actually studied the paintings before, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not find any clues.
She was actually a little anxious in her heart.
Because she knew that the people behind her would soon come in.
In the Palace of Gloom, whether it was her fellow sect members of the Green Lotus Society or the Seven Nations geniuses who had taken the Lotus Heart Unfettered Pill, they would all become potential opponents.
Facing a mystic realm of heritage of this level, it was definitely a problem for her as a Holy Maiden to suppress them.
Therefore, her heart was filled with contradictions. Since she couldn't find any clues on the first level, she instinctively felt that she should go up to the second level. Perhaps the true benefits were in the second and third levels?
However, he saw that Qin Yi was still stuck on the first floor. Xia Ji, who had already made up her mind, began to waver.
Based on her experience with Qin Yi, although this guy was young, he was very opinionated in doing things, and he was very targeted.
There must be a reason why he chose not to go to the second floor.
Xia Ji wanted to know Qin Yi's reason.
At this moment, Qin Yi was completely immersed in comprehension.
He was combining some of the keywords of each calligraphy and painting, trying to find a pattern.
Suddenly, his spiritual sense stirred, and he seemed to have found a little pattern.
The first word on the first painting was' No '.
The second character of the second painting was the word 'Zai'.
The third painting, the third word …
There were a total of ten paintings. According to the order of the paintings, the characters in the corresponding order would be chosen.
When combined, it was ten words — Don't take from the straight, seek from the crooked.
These ten words made Qin Yi's eyes lit up.
The hint of these ten words was not very clear, but it had revealed the true meaning. It meant that the key treasure on the first level was not the kind that could be identified at a glance.
Instead, it had to be slowly comprehended through the twists and turns of the exploration.
Qin Yi was instantly energized. He believed that since the painting had given him a hint, it would definitely not just give these ten words.
Perhaps, there would be other hints.
With this pattern in mind, the next step would be much easier.
Soon, through the placement of the ten paintings, Qin Yi carefully considered the last word of each painting, and actually found more clues.
The last word of the tenth painting was the word 'Half'.
The second to last word on the ninth painting was the word "True".
With this pattern, Qin Yi quickly found the other ten words among the ten paintings.
"Half-truth and half-falsehood, four cups of gloomy tea."
When Qin Yi saw these ten words, he recited them in his heart and immediately understood.
Following that, Qin Yi seriously studied these paintings. However, no matter how hard he studied, he did not find anything new.
"Could it be that the so-called benefit of the first level is the four cups of tea?"
Qin Yi even wondered if this discovery was a coincidence, or if he had seen through the truth.
If this place was really three thousand years old, then these four cups of tea had been brewed three thousand years ago. Who knew what would happen if they were eaten after three thousand years?
However, on second thought, Qin Yi realized that this place was already three thousand years old, but it was not tainted by even a speck of dust. This meant that three thousand years might have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yi pretended to walk away from the paintings casually.
Xia Ji had been observing Qin Yi coldly. After seeing that he had clearly discovered something, he pretended to be nonchalant.
Xia Ji couldn't help but smile faintly. "Little Qin, did you discover something?"
Qin Yi looked at Xia Ji with interest. "Little girl, you don't look much older than me, so why are you being so impudent? Besides, with the grudge between us, would I tell you even if I discovered something? "
Xia Ji did not get angry. She leisurely sat down on a chair and calmly placed her bare feet on another chair.
"I can be a little more magnanimous and write off our previous grudges. Every move you make in this Gloomy Palace is a matter of life and death. Don't tell me you don't want an ally, but an enemy? "
Qin Yi chuckled. "Ally? The kind of ally that I let her go, but she bites the hand that feeds her? "
Xia Ji was a little angry. "Are you still a man? Previously, we served different masters and stood on different sides. I had no choice but to yell and kill you. "
"You speak as if we aren't serving different masters." Qin Yi sneered.
"In this Gloomy Palace, I only represent myself." Xia Ji's tone was no longer as domineering as before. It was less indifferent, and there was more truth in it that Qin Yi hadn't noticed before.
Qin Yi was slightly surprised. Previously, in his impression, this Saintess was young, but she was a ruthless character, and even somewhat unreasonable.
"I don't want to talk nonsense. You saw earlier that only four people can enter the first level. Apart from us, there will definitely be two more people entering. No matter who comes in, they will be a serious threat to our safety. "
Xia Ji's tone was filled with rare sincerity.
Qin Yi was taken aback. "No matter who it is, they will either be your fellow disciples or puppets under your control. Do you think they will be a threat to you? "
There seemed to be a layer of worry shrouding Xia Ji's brows.
It made her look even more charming.
"Hmph, this Gloomy Palace's inheritance is so miraculous that it's enough to turn fellow disciples into enemies and make puppets turn on their masters."
