Chapter 2261 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-One)

However, he couldn’t say this to Tie Wandao, so he said, “Chief, I understand what you mean. I will try to do things faster in the future. Although the results are not completely under my control, I will still try my best to be both fast and hard.”

Tie Wandao glanced at him and said, “It would be better if there is a result. I value the result very much!”

Li Pingrun nodded.

Tie Wandao looked at Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone, stretched out a hand and said to Li Pingrun: “Give it to me!”

“Yes.” Li Pingrun said and handed the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone to Tie Wandao.

After Tie Wandao put away the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone, he started talking to Li Pingrun.

After a while, Tie Wandao and Li Pingrun began to take a long rest, and sometimes they would talk to each other.

During that period, Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun to check the candles on the first floor of Muxi Pavilion several times. Every time Li Pingrun checked according to his instructions, he would take down some of the candles that were almost burned out and replace them with new ones.

After the two talked for a while, Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun to check the candles on the first floor of Muxi Pavilion again.

Li Pingrun checked again according to his instructions, then took down some of the candles that were almost burned out and replaced them with new ones.

Then, Tie Wandao said that he wanted to go over there to rest for a while, so he walked to a brighter place and sat there to rest.

Li Pingrun went to a darker corner to rest.

It was actually very close to the Yin hour. At the Yin hour, Li Pingrun felt that Tie Jinjue seemed to be still practicing, but since he couldn’t see clearly, in order to confirm whether he was still practicing, he walked closer to him.

Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun loudly: “Elder Tie is still practicing, you can’t go over and talk to him.”

Li Pingrun immediately explained, “Clan leader, I was very far away from Elder Tie just now and couldn’t see what he was doing. I just wanted to get a little closer to see if he was still practicing. When I got to a position where I could see clearly, I would naturally stop and would not continue to move forward, let alone disturb Elder Nie’s practice.”

Tie Wandao asked, “Why do you suddenly want to know if Elder Nie is still practicing?”

Li Pingrun said, “Because it is the Yin hour, I am going to perform a ritual to test whether there are other factors that will affect the removal of the Gong Soul Talisman. I am worried that my ritual here will affect Elder Tie’s practice.”

“Oh?” Tie Wandao asked, “He is so far away from you, will your magic affect him?”

“Yes.” Li Pingrun said, “In fact, if I were to do something else through a ritual, he was far enough away from me at that location, so I could completely avoid affecting him while performing the ritual. However, testing whether there are other factors that will affect the withdrawal of the Gong Soul Talisman is different from ordinary things. Although Elder Tie is not close to me, the ritual I perform for this matter will also affect him.”

As soon as Li Pingrun finished speaking, Tie Jinjue stood up and walked towards Tie Wandao, saying as he walked: “Practicing martial arts is really refreshing. I’m not sleepy at all now.”

Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue, “It’s already the Yin hour. It’s time for you to stop practicing. He just said that he wants to test through a ritual to see if there are other factors that will affect the Chegong Soul Talisman. You are not practicing now, so his ritual will not affect you, right?”

Tie Jinjue said: “Yes, it won’t affect it.”

Tie Wandao then said to Li Pingrun, “Now that Elder Tie has stopped practicing, can you perform the ritual?”
