Chapter 2024 (Two Thousand and Twenty-Four) Not necessarily
"Choose?" Tie Hongyan asked, "Choose whose life energy to absorb?"

Tie Jinjue said, "Fellow Taoist Ni said that after she went to the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion today, she knew that the person who sucked the life energy was not trying to concentrate on sucking the life energy of a few people."

"Don't you want to concentrate on absorbing the life energy of a few individuals... then won't that absorb the life energy of many people?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"It should be. Taoist Ni guessed that the man did this because he didn't want to be discovered. She said that if one concentrated on sucking someone's life energy, the person being sucked would soon lose his life, which would easily attract attention." Tie Jinjue said.

"Won't that mean the lifespans of many people will be affected?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"That would be true if we don't try to salvage the relationship," Tie Jinjue said.

Until this moment, he still hadn't figured out how to tell Tie Hongyan about the method of redemption, so he quickly continued to talk about other things: "I asked Taoist Priest Ni at the time if she could figure out why the person who sucked away the life energy of those people did so, and she said she couldn't be sure. She also said she didn't know if the person who sucked away the life energy of those people was a Taoist priest, and she didn't know if the person using the spell was sucking the life energy of others himself."

"In other words, the person who absorbs the life energy may not be the one who uses the spell?" Tie Hongyan said.

"This is what Master Ni meant." Tie Jinjue said.

He didn't want Tie Hongyan to continue asking about ways to save the relationship at this time, so he quickly said, "Fellow Taoist Ni said that some people can use magic to turn others into people who can absorb the life energy of the builder through the Seven Stars Drunken Pavilion. She also said that she didn't even know if the person using the magic was a Taoist."

Tie Hongyan said “Oh?”

Tie Jinjue said, "Alchemist Ni said that if he was an alchemist, he should be restricted when using magic, but judging from the situation at the time, he was obviously not restricted. She also said that no matter what, the people involved in this incident doing such a thing can affect the fortune of the Tiecang tribe, but she can't be sure that the person who cast the spell on Qixing Zui Renting or other people related to this person are definitely coming for this."

"The situation at the Qixing Zuiren Pavilion has affected the fortune of the Tiecang tribe... Apart from the strange thing I just mentioned, are there any other situations?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue also told her the other consequences he had learned from Ni Yuan.

Tie Hongyan wanted to say something, but she didn't want to say anything that would make her heart even heavier, so she just said, "I'm really curious about who cast the spell on Qixing Zuiren Pavilion."

Tie Jinjue said: "Master Ni said that she couldn't think of anyone who knew magic and dared to do such a thing. She felt that such a situation was really rare."

"Have you asked her when the Seven Star Zui Ren Pavilion was cast under a spell?" Tie Hongyan said.

"I did ask." Tie Jinjue said, "At that time, I thought of Hou Xueyan's matter, and asked Ni Fangshi when the situation of Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion began to appear. She told me that it definitely did not just appear today. Because Hou Xueyan did those actions at Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion today, I didn't know at the time whether it was related to the changes in Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion, so I asked Ni Fangshi if there were any obvious changes in Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion today. She told me that there was no change today, and Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion had been like this before today."
