Chapter 3231 (Three Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-One) The Day After Tomorrow

Ban Jinneng glanced at Tie Wandao quietly and said in a low voice, “Because the head of the Guardian Iron Beast fell off today, it was very dangerous for the Taoist priests to perform rituals in the area where Huagen was located on the day when the head of the Guardian Iron Beast fell off.”

“Use magic to check the approximate location and find out if the specific position is dangerous everywhere?” Tie Wandao said, glancing at Ban Jinneng.

“Yes.” Ban Jinneng answered.

“Are you really sure that’s the approximate location of the root?” Tie Wandao asked, “Are you sure it’s not wrong? If you find the wrong place today, and you find it’s not the right place when you perform the ritual, won’t you have to look for it again?”

“I can be sure of it!” Ban Jinneng said quickly.

Although Tie Wandao’s anger subsided after hearing what Ban Jinneng said, he still hoped that he could find the root of the evil spirit by performing a ritual somewhere else. He knew that the alchemist’s ritual required certain conditions, and he didn’t know why he thought so, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have to perform a ritual near a slippery place to find the root of the evil spirit?” When he said this, his tone showed his dissatisfaction.

“Yes.” Ban Jinneng answered.

“Can’t you perform a ritual somewhere else to find the specific location of the root?” Tie Wandao continued.

Ban Jinneng was helpless, and with fear in his heart, he whispered: “This… I can’t do it.”

“You can’t even do that!” Tie Wandao raised his right eyebrow and said, “Does that mean you have to wait until tomorrow to restore the Guardian Iron Beast?”

Ban Jinneng became even more nervous when he heard this, because he couldn’t restore the Guardian Iron Beast even the next day. He had to wait until noon of the next day. So he said tremblingly: “Chief, there is a time limit for restoring the Guardian Iron Beast.”

“You don’t understand me or what?” Tie Wandao said, “I asked you if I have to wait until tomorrow to recover. I asked about the day, but you answered me ‘hour’!”

Ban Jinneng realized that there was a loophole in what he said just now, and that he had been caught by Tie Wandao. He felt even more flustered, so he quickly said: “I’m sorry, clan leader, what I meant is that there is a time limit for restoring the iron beast. Not only is there a day limit, but also a time limit.” “There is a day limit? Does it have to be tomorrow?” Tie Wandao asked.

“No… no.” Ban Jinneng replied, “Not even tomorrow.”

“You just said that we can’t perform rituals in the area where Huagen is today, and we can’t restore the iron beast guarding the tower tomorrow. So how long will this matter be delayed?” Tie Wandao asked.

“The day after tomorrow…the day after tomorrow will be fine!” Ban Jinneng answered.

“The day after tomorrow?” Tie Wandao asked loudly, “So late?”

“Yes…” Ban Jinneng said, “The day after tomorrow at noon.”

“We have to wait until noon?” Tie Wandao said, “Can’t we recover earlier?”

“I’m sorry, Patriarch, I… really can’t do this earlier… because doing it earlier won’t achieve the goal.” Ban Jinneng said.

Tie Wandao said unhappily, “Is it because of the restrictions of the spell you want to use?”

“No.” Ban Jinneng said, “Even if you use other spells, as long as you use spells that can restore it, they are also subject to this restriction. The falling of the head of the Zhentai Iron Beast is a serious matter. There are only a few spells that can be used to restore it, and the few spells that can be used are all limited.”

“Will other alchemists be restricted in their use?” Tie Wandao asked.
