Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2017 (Two Thousand and Seventeen) Setting

The test results disappointed Hou Xueyan. In fact, it was not a sad thing for him to find no information related to making Tie Wandao suffer a greater blow. However, when he was sure that he could not find any information related to curing Hou Jizhuan's legs, he was also sure that he could not find any information related to making Tie Wandao suffer a greater blow. Under the influence of the former, the latter made him feel more sad. When Hou Jizhuan told him about the Seven Star Zui Ren Pavilion ritual, he thought that both goals were very likely to be achieved. He always felt that at least one goal could be achieved. The goal he wanted to achieve the most was obviously to find information related to curing Hou Jizhuan's legs. After learning that both goals could not be achieved, he thought of Hou Jizhuan's legs again, and he felt like he was deflated.

Later, Hou Xueyan chose to go back from another path, which was also related to his purpose.

After he used that spell to test whether he could find the two types of information he wanted in the space and found out that he couldn't find them at all, he could set a certain place as the place to check "transformable information". However, the places he could choose were limited. Some places could not be the place for him to check "transformable information" even if he wanted to set it there. Of course, he hoped to set the last short section of the road he took when he came here as the place to check "transformable information", but that road was not a place he could set as the place to check "transformable information". If it was set in other places, he felt that it would be too conspicuous for him to go to another place on purpose, so he set another small road that he could take when he returned as the place to check "transformable information".

When the alchemist knows that his goal cannot be achieved after testing in a specific place, he sets up a place to check "transformable information" and goes there to feel it in person. If a very special situation occurs, the alchemist may feel the "transformable information" around him. This "transformable information" is information that can be transformed into the information he wants to find.

In fact, "transformable information" is often in a similar environment to the information that the alchemist is looking for. If the alchemist is sure that there is no information he wants to find near a place, it is basically difficult to find information that can be transformed into the information he wants to find. Occasionally, there will be special circumstances, but the possibility is too small. So in general, it is meaningless for the alchemist who practices this kind of magic to go to the place he has set to check "transformable information" and feel it.

Hou Xueyan knew that it was basically impossible to find any "convertible information" on that road, and although he was very disappointed, he was still unwilling to give up this tiny possibility. Therefore, he took a detour and took that small road to search for "convertible information".

Hou Xueyan did not need to make any movements when checking "convertible information". Since he had previously set that section of road as a place to check "convertible information", that section of road had become special in a short period of time. As long as Hou Xueyan passed by there, he could directly feel whether there was "convertible information" around. When he walked to the place to check "convertible information" and felt it, that section of road naturally returned to the state before he set it as a place to check "convertible information". If Hou Xueyan did not walk that road to feel it after setting that section of road as a place to check "convertible information", then after a moment, that place would no longer be a place for Hou Xueyan to check "convertible information".
