Chapter 2257 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Seven) Hard to Find

Tie Wandao said, “Alchemists generally have to accept the world before learning magic. What you said is almost the same as not saying anything, right?”

Li Pingrun said, “Yes, clan leader. That’s why I said ‘extremely special circumstances’. I told you this to be comprehensive. In fact, the possibility is so small that I don’t even need to mention it.”

Tie Wandao said, “Yes. If you find someone who practices the same magic as you, what is the possibility that person will understand why the light is glowing?”

“Even if the person practices the same magic as me and his level is much higher than mine, it is still possible to see through it.” Li Pingrun said.

“Do you mean that your level is not good enough?” Tie Wandao asked.

“You can say that.” Li Pingrun said.

“But, as far as I know, among those who practice your kind of magic, your level is already top-notch, otherwise I wouldn’t have looked for you,” said Tie Wandao.

“I don’t deserve it.” Li Pingrun said.

“Why are you being so modest? It would be fine if you say you have no ability, but I, the clan leader, came to you and you are so modest, making it seem like I was very short-sighted in choosing a clan leader. You don’t care about your own face, and you want to take mine away as well.” Tie Wandao said with his hands behind his back.

Li Pingrun said, “I’m sorry, Patriarch! I didn’t think about this when I said it. No matter what, I don’t mean to say that you have no vision.”

“Your level is already high. It would be too difficult to find someone who practices the same magic as you and whose level is higher than yours! I don’t want to think about finding such a person anymore.” Tie Wandao said, “Anyway, you still have to think of a way to deal with this matter. I want to know why the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone glowed twice on the Muxi Pavilion.”

Li Pingrun thought: I am also in a dilemma, and I don’t know what to do. I wonder if I can find anything after performing a ritual for Elder Tie. Although I don’t have much confidence in this, and I don’t think there is really any hope of finding anything, since I haven’t tried it before, I still want to give it a try. So, Li Pingrun looked at Tie Jinjue, who was far away from them, and asked Tie Wandao what he was doing.

Tie Wandao told Li Pingrun that Tie Jinjue was practicing martial arts and could not be interrupted by anyone or affected by magic.

Li Pingrun originally wanted to suggest performing a ritual for Tie Jinjue, but when he heard what Tie Wandao said, he felt that it was not appropriate for him to suggest it under the circumstances. He had to wait until this period of time had passed and find another opportunity to do so.

Tie Wandao and Li Pingrun started talking in the Muxi Pavilion.

As he was talking, Tie Wandao suddenly thought of another possibility, and said to Li Pingrun: “When the hour of Chou comes, take the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion to measure it again.”

“Chou hour?” Li Pingrun asked, “The clan leader wants me to take the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone to the top floor and try it out at a time other than midnight?”

“Yes.” Tie Wandao said, “The two previous times that the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone glowed occurred at midnight. I suddenly wondered if it would glow if I brought it to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion at other times.”

“Okay.” Li Pingrun said.

At first, Li Pingrun felt that it would not be meaningful to measure it again. He thought: Even if it glows again at Chou time, what can it prove? It can only prove that it is not only able to glow at Zi time, but I still cannot know why it glows.

However, he soon felt that perhaps he could discover something that he had not noticed before if he went up again.
