Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 523 - 303: Who Is the Mole? (Part 1)

Lu Yu and Chen Qingyun stood in front of the wall, which was seamless and showed no signs of a hidden door.

Looking at the wall, Lu Yu thought of many scenes from TV dramas. In such places, there is usually a switch to control the door opening and closing, so he started to feel around on the wall.

Sensory perception couldn't penetrate the special material of the wall, so Lu Yu couldn't directly detect the mechanisms inside the wall. He had to rely on the most primitive method—touch.

Chen Qingyun observed Lu Yu feeling around on the wall and remarked speechlessly, "Why are you even trying? The Spirit race is a spirit-based race. They don't have physical bodies in the conventional sense, so they wouldn't have conventional doors either."

"What looks like a seamless wall to us might be an unobstructed passageway to the Spirit race. They don't need to open doors or take detours."

Lu Yu paused, saying, "Are you saying that the Spirit race can pass through here directly, so there's no switch at all?"

"But, how do they get through? They're all human, not members of the Spirit race," Lu Yu asked.

Chen Qingyun was momentarily at a loss for words. From the perspective of the Spirit race, he was indeed correct; they might not even have the concept of doors.

However, for Luo Heng, Luo Feng, Lin Qingqing, and Wei Long, they would definitely need to open it in order to pass through.

"Clap, clap, clap~" Lu Yu dusted off his hands, brushing away the dust, and stood up.

He had felt around the entire place and found no distinct protrusions or mechanisms.

Come to think of it, it made sense. They didn't even know what the Spirit race looked like, let alone whether they would develop mechanism systems akin to humans. Perhaps they didn't need a mechanism at all, or maybe they didn't even have the technology for them.

Finding no mechanism was understandable. Lu Yu looked at Chen Qingyun and asked, "Haven't you learned anything about the Spirit race? Do you know their way of opening doors?"

Chen Qingyun concentrated for a moment and said, "The Spirit race is proficient in using spiritual power, so their doors are usually constructed to block spiritual power. To open them, spiritual power should be used."

"After all, if spiritual power couldn't be blocked, having or not having a house would make no difference to the Spirit race."

Hearing this, Lu Yu pondered briefly and then released his own spiritual power. As soon as it extended outside his body, Lu Yu could feel the spiritual power being very active here.

It seemed like this building could enhance spiritual power. If this was a building constructed by the Spirit race, then it makes sense. Their main methods are spiritual attack and spiritual control.

This building could absorb physical attacks and spiritual power, making it the Spirit race's natural stronghold, giving them a significant home-field advantage against any invading enemies.

Lu Yu's spiritual power spread across the wall. Despite the building containing elements that could strengthen and activate spiritual power, the power couldn't penetrate the wall.

Through spiritual power, Lu Yu observed a wall entirely different from what the naked eye could see. The wall featured a spinning wheel with six circles, each one filled with various symbols.

Lu Yu took out some paper and a pencil and sketched the scene he saw with his spiritual power to show Chen Qingyun.

Since Chen Qingyun had not yet broken through to the Core Formation Realm, his spiritual power had not yet transformed and couldn't be released outside, so Lu Yu had to explain the wall's construction to him for deciphering.

"This is what's on the wall. Figure out how to turn it to open the door," Lu Yu said, handing the paper adorned with symbols and circles to Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun took the paper, glanced at Lu Yu, and felt a bit speechless inside, "Aren't you a Martial Cultivator specializing in Body Refinement? Why is your spiritual power also so strong? Clearly, such power should only belong to those specializing in spiritual cultivation."

Of course, he didn't voice this, only muttered it in his heart.

Well, a Martial Cultivator refining the body and cultivating spiritual power at the same time isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Chen Qingyun could only comfort himself this way.

He scrutinized the drawing, pondering for a long time before speaking, "These are the Spirit race's spiritual symbols, visible only through spiritual power."

Lu Yu, naturally aware these symbols were visible only through spiritual power, bluntly said, "Get to the point and spare me the lecture."

Just when Chen Qingyun wanted to show off his erudition and reclaim some sense of superiority over Lu Yu, he deflated immediately, picked up the paper, and demonstrated to Lu Yu, using his finger to trace on the paper.

"First like this… then like this… and finally like this… then the door will open," Chen Qingyun said, looking at Lu Yu afterwards, "Got it?"

His explanation was somewhat vague and the process extremely complex. He hadn't drawn it out, so he worried Lu Yu might forget. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

If Lu Yu remembered incorrectly, he'd have to decipher the method from scratch, making it even more challenging, and he didn't want his brain cells to die off in a second attempt.

"Got it. Are you sure this will work?" Lu Yu asked, looking at Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun raised his hand solemnly, stating, "If it doesn't work, I'll cut off my long hair on the spot and never grow it out again."

Given his understanding of the Spirit race, this was the last shred of dignity he had left in facing Lu Yu, and dignity couldn't be compromised. He was willing to stake his very being (his hair) on being right.

Seeing his resolve, Lu Yu didn't press further and started to turn the spiritual wheel as directed.
