My brother is so cunning.

Cheng Ziwei tugged on the sleeves of Senior Brother Li next to her and whispered: "What do those Mahayana seniors want Brother Wen Dao to do? He dares to ask for five million spiritual stones when he opens his mouth?"

"Look at the situation, the entrance to the secret realm here is sealed by the magic circle. Are those seniors going to pay Brother Wen Dao to unlock the seal?"

The female monk opened her mouth slightly and said in astonishment: "Five million spirit stones to break one seal? This money is so profitable. Our Qingcheng sect does nothing all year round, and all the disciples go out to collect it collectively. Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.”

Li Yu secretly shook his head and said: "I think it's just talk. Brother Wen Dao seems to be upright, but his words are exaggerated and he occasionally boasts. It seems that it is the nature of a businessman. It's just that he is so disrespectful to the Mahayana seniors, which makes him angry. Isn’t the other party afraid of being taught a lesson?”

As expected by Li Yu, the Mahayana old man became furious, pointed at Wen Rui's nose and shouted loudly: "Five million? Isn't it too expensive? Your boy is getting darker and darker!"

The angry mental coercion of the Mahayana monks radiated to the entire audience. The onlookers felt as if a huge stone had fallen in their hearts, their thinking was not smooth, and they unconsciously felt a sense of fear that they wanted to escape immediately.

Wen Rui Ze was like a spring breeze, not affected at all, but instead became more arrogant, and retorted confidently with his waist straight:

"Why is it so expensive? It has been this price for so many years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Sometimes you look for your own reasons. Has your cultivation level increased over the years? Have you practiced seriously? If you study the formation knowledge more carefully, It’s not like I, a mere mortal, have earned so much unlocking fees over the years!”

"you!"

"What are you talking about? When I do business, I always clearly mark the price and I'm honest. If it's too expensive, you can open it yourself. If you don't want to find me, you can find someone else. It seems that I am very happy to make this money..."

These few words choked the Mahayana elder with a ferocious look on his face, and he said bitterly: "I'm so angry, you surnamed Wen, don't bully others too much. Believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson!"

"You still want to take action and play social games with me? Do you think I am an ordinary person?"

Wen Rui was not afraid and put his face towards me: "Do you know who I am? Are you about to reach the completion of the Mahayana period? Are you going to survive the thunder tribulation? Think about it clearly, which god above is in charge of the thunder tribulation! "

The old man's face stiffened, and all the bulging aura disappeared at once. However, in front of a crowd of onlookers and junior monks, he couldn't help but stand there helplessly without embarrassment.

"That's all, Mr. Zhang, delaying it any longer is not an option. Let's make do with it for him."

Another Mahayana elder with the image of a young man stepped forward to rescue him and said: "The puzzles on these three stone tablets are really difficult to decipher. We have never seen them in the secret records of formations of several major sects. The more I think about it, the more incomparable it becomes." It is profound and mysterious, and it must be the secret method of Jie Jiao. If you don’t ask him to open it, you will have to go to heaven and ask a certain star king to open it. "

The old man who had been angry with Wen Rui sighed deeply, and said with a complex expression: "Brother Sun Dao, why are you ridiculing me? You went to heaven to ask the immortals who intercepted the teachings and made them gods to come down to earth to open the hidden secret realm of the fallen immortals. , Not to mention that I have not survived the thunder tribulation and cannot go to heaven. Even if I go up, I dare to say this, and I will not be kicked down!"

Wen Rui said calmly on the side: "To be honest, your level of teaching formations is really average. Back then, we intercepted and taught the immortals to put up the 'Ten Jue Formation', 'Plague Formation' and 'Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation' ''Zhuxian Sword Formation'' and ''Ten Thousand Immortals Formation'', what kind of formations have you taught the Twelve Golden Immortals? Not to mention setting up formations, breaking the formations depends on calling parents, calling for foreign aid, suing teachers, and recruiting traitors. I broke it several times by relying on my own ability.”

"Brother Zhang, after searching the three realms, I am not the only one who knows how to open this seal. In addition to going to Heaven, you can also go to Lingshan to try your luck. Back then, three thousand mortals from the Jie Sect entered the Western Sect. There may also be formations among them. Where's the master?"

"Otherwise, you can simply open the lock physically and use your powerful magical powers to smash it. See if after smashing the seal, the secret realm will be annihilated into nothingness."

Zhang Zhenren's eyes twitched, he held his white beard and weighed it for a long time, then he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you five million spirit stones, you can open it!"

"That's right, no matter what you give up, you will get something if you give it up. If you find one or two spiritual treasures in the secret realm, won't you earn them all back? If you go to the Western religion for help, you don't know how much benefit you will get. Where is it? Can it be solved with just five million spiritual stones? You got a bargain, but you still behave like a good boy here, and it’s not easy to make money..."

Wen Rui muttered, took out the jade slip from his bag and handed it over: "Old rule, sign the agreement first."

Master Zhang of the Ziyang Immortal Sect took over the agreement and signed it. Wenrui then stepped forward and carefully looked at the words and graphics engraved on the three stone tablets. Several Mahayana elders from various major sects, Baba, came to his side and released All his consciousness was closely watching his every move, as if he was planning to steal from the side.

The Qingchengshan senior brother and sister who were watching were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that Brother Wen Dao was actually a mortal.

The two looked at each other, unable to understand why a mortal dared to be so arrogant in the face of a group of Mahayana greats, but the Mahayana seniors did not dare to offend him.

"Just look at it, don't get so close and block the inscription!"

Wen Rui pushed aside a Mahayana monk, touched his stubble, and thought: "It's not that difficult. I don't know what the ancestors of your respective sects heard when they were listening to the teachings in Zixiao Palace. Why didn't they teach you well? The puzzles on these three stone tablets are all very basic principles. Write down the complete proof process and the seal will be unlocked."

Several Mahayana monks were embarrassed by what they said, but they were not as knowledgeable as others in formations, so they could only endure it.

"The first stele puzzle is: try to prove that everything returns to one. Choose a number, any positive integer. If it is even, divide it by 2. If it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat the steps again. In the end, the result is 1."

"The second stele puzzle is: try to prove that the earth is divided into four images. Any map can use only four colors to make countries with common borders have different colors."

"The third stele puzzle is: try to prove that the void has a limit. Any simply connected, closed three-dimensional manifold must be homeomorphic to a three-dimensional sphere."

All things return to one, the earth is divided into four images, and the void has a limit. These are indeed the most basic principles. Ancestor Hongjun may have really talked about them when he preached in Zixiao Palace, but when it comes to the problem itself, these Mahayana monks are completely confused. The more they think about it, the more confused they are. They rack their brains and exhaust their energy, but still have no clue.

But they saw Wen Rui with a sneer on his face, writing and drawing on each stone tablet, writing a series of symbols and numbers that they could not understand at all, but it was these symbols and numbers that triggered the resonance of the magic array seal. As he wrote more and more, and wrote more and more densely, the seal strength gradually weakened, and it was about to be broken.

Several Mahayana cultivators were stunned. They could not believe that Wen Rui, a mortal, had a hundred times better understanding of the great principles than them, the extraordinary people who were about to pass the tribulation and ascend to immortality.

The crowd of immortal cultivators who watched Wen Rui break the array also started to discuss.

"I have heard the Master talk about the principles of 'the great way is simple, all things return to one' and 'the earth is divided into four images, and the void has an extreme', but he has never told me how to prove it."

"The numbers on the puzzle of all things returning to one also contain mysteries. You see, there is the principle of 'one gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things', and there is also the principle of 'all things are divided into yin and yang'. Just pick a number and calculate it according to this principle, and it will return to one. Although the principle is simple, it is too complicated to prove it. You can't exhaust it and try an infinite number of numbers!"

"I thought the four images of the earth were the four directions of east, south, west and north. Now I see that this 'four images' is not simple. The macroscopic direction and the subdivision to each plot of land, the whole and the block can be divided into four images. It's too profound and mysterious!"

"I can't understand the puzzle of the void has an extreme. Who can explain it?"

"I'm afraid that the elders are not much better than us. They only know the facts but not the reasons."

"The disciples of Jiejiao understand the great way. Is it so profound? Wen Rui is just an ordinary person. He has such a thorough understanding of the great principles. Why doesn't he ascend to heaven? "

"Be careful, you have only been in the sect for a short time and don't know the details of Wen Rui. Although he doesn't follow the right path and always uses unorthodox methods, he is still an ordinary ant after so many years, but he has a deep background!"

"It's great to have a backer. What the hell, he is just a useless playboy! If I had his identity and background, I would have ascended to heaven long ago!"

"Don't say it, for the Venerable Taboo!"

"Another mountain's stones can polish jade. Shouldn't we search for some classics left by Jiejiao to study? Maybe we can deepen our understanding of the great way."

"Be careful with your words. Jiejiao is an evil way. How can we, disciples of the Chanjiao, lose sight of the essence and pursue the trivial!"

...

In fact, it was not so easy for Wen Rui to prove the "Four Color Theorem", "Poincare Conjecture" and "Ulang Conjecture" on the spot. He just wrote down some of the first few steps of the proof process, and the magic array seal was naturally unlocked.

The reason for this situation is that Wen Rui secretly explored this secret realm alone thirty years ago. After he looted the most valuable treasures in it, he left some fragments and then spent a lot of effort to re-set a seal puzzle array.

The original seal of this secret realm is indeed not easy to unlock. It involves the secret array of Jiejiao's unique secrets, but it is not so difficult that there is no solution. A group of Chanjiao Mahayana monks can concentrate on studying it and it is possible to unlock it.

The questions that Wen Rui later locked and re-locked were not only extremely difficult, but some of them were temporarily unsolvable in the modern world. If there was really an expert who could solve them completely, Wen Rui would come to ask a few words like "odd changes, even does not change" and "palace jade liquor" to match the secret code.

Plant a seed and wait for it to sprout. It has only been thirty years, and someone has seen through the illusion array and discovered the secret realm but cannot solve the puzzle array at the door.

So from secretly inviting fellow practitioners to help solve the puzzle to no avail, to the news leaking and a large number of monks gathering, finally having to write a letter to invite locksmith experts to come, it went around and returned to Wen Rui's hands. Isn't this a waste of a large amount of spiritual stones?

The person who tied the bell must untie it. Installing the lock and opening it yourself is called creating demand without demand, which is a very serious way of doing business.

Coming up with this dishonest trick of killing two birds with one stone was not about making money. Wen Rui's real intention was to demonstrate the profoundness of the Jie Religion's magic in front of a group of monks from the Chen Religion and the Ren Religion, publicize the correctness of the Jie Religion's knowledge, improve the Jie Religion's reputation in disguise, and arouse the interest of the disciples of the Chen Religion and the Ren Religion in exploring the Jie Religion's knowledge.
