Chapter 2256 Harvest
Chapter 2256 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Six) Harvest
Tie Jinjue thought that Li Pingrun had finished performing a ritual for Yuan Shuang Mingxin Stone outside, and he might ask to perform a ritual for him again after he came in. He felt that if he really waited for Li Pingrun to say such a thing, it would be difficult for him to respond to him, so he came up with the idea of continuous practice, so that Li Pingrun would not interrupt him.
He had thought it through before. As soon as he saw Li Pingrun enter the Muxi Pavilion, he began to practice the inner skills that were not suitable for being interrupted. That is, the inner skills that would cause certain harm to people if someone interrupted them. The reason why he decided to do this was because he had the treasure given to him by Yue Xianhe. With that treasure, even if he was interrupted when practicing that kind of inner skills, or someone performed a ritual on him, he would only appear to be in a state of being hurt on the surface, but he would not actually be hurt.
In this way, even if the Taoist priest wanted to interrupt him or observed him carefully because he suspected him, he would not need to worry about the Taoist priest noticing the problem.
In short, he didn’t want the alchemist to perform rituals on him at that time.
If the alchemist insisted on performing a ritual on him while he was practicing, he would have to use other methods to deal with it, but he thought that the possibility was not high. After all, the alchemist would not dare to perform a ritual on him without the consent of the tribal elder himself.
He also thought about the possibility that Li Pingrun might ask him to perform a ritual for him again after he removed the Soul-Gongding Talisman that day. He felt that if he really encountered such a situation, it would be better to think of a solution.
Of course, Tie Jinjue felt that it was enough that Li Pingrun did not perform a ritual for him before he left that day. As for after he left, even if Li Pingrun might still ask for a ritual for him in the future, he would have time to think of other ways to deal with it.
After Li Pingrun came in, Tie Wandao immediately asked him about the result of the magic he had performed on Yuan Shuang’s Mingxin Stone.
Li Pingrun said: “Chief, this Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone has not changed at all compared to before.”
Tie Wandao originally hoped that he would be able to tell him the reason why the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone glowed twice on the top floor of Muxi Pavilion after he went out to perform the ritual. Although he did not think that Li Pingrun would be able to find the reason through the ritual, after waiting for a long time, he heard Li Pingrun’s words. Tie Wandao was indeed a little impatient. He said, “You have been tossing around outside for a long time, and you tell me that there is no change?”
Li Pingrun said: “Patriarch, this is what I found out from my test.”
“What else did you find out?” Tie Wandao asked. “Other things…” Li Pingrun said, “I didn’t find anything else.”
“You’ve been outside for so long, but you didn’t gain anything?” Tie Wandao asked.
“What I gained is that I found out that Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone has not become different from before because of going to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion twice.” Li Pingrun replied.
Tie Wandao glanced at him and said, “Is this considered a gain?”
Li Pingrun felt embarrassed again and didn’t know what to say.
Tie Wandao said: “Then tell me, can other alchemists know why the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone glowed twice on the top floor of Muxi Pavilion?”
Li Pingrun replied: “Unless there are extremely special circumstances, if the alchemist and I do not practice the same magic, then the alchemist will not be able to know.”
“What kind of extremely special circumstances are needed to understand this?” Tie Wandao asked.
Li Pingrun said: “If there is someone who has never received the Huanshi but knows magic, even if the magic that person practices is not the same as mine, that person may still understand it.”
