Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2305 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Five) Year

"The clan leader is right," Li Pingrun said, "But, I'm sorry... but I really can't do it." He almost said the word "sorry" again, but in order to avoid annoying Tie Wandao, he didn't say it.

"There's nothing we can do if you can't do it. But it's better this way. You can seal the passage almost as it was before. This way, people without magic will definitely not be able to enter the passage, right?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "People without magic skills can't chisel it open even if they use something to chisel it."

"In this case, if someone comes in, it must be someone with magic." Tie Wandao said, "If the people who are watching Muxi Pavilion really come here, they can be caught red-handed! Do you have any magic that can record the situation in the basement?"

"Record?" Li Pingrun asked, "Patriarch, do you want me to set up something in the basement of Muxi Pavilion? After we all go out, can that thing still record the situation in the basement?"

"This is what I mean, can you do it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I do know this kind of magic, but it has a time limit," said Li Pingrun.

"What's the time limit?" Tie Wandao asked.

"If I set up this thing today, it will only work within twenty-four hours." Li Pingrun said.

"So what's wrong?" Tie Wandao asked, "When the twenty-four hours are almost up, you can just set it again and continue."

Li Pingrun said with an embarrassed look on his face: "The problem is that I can't continue."

"Can you only set this thing once?" Tie Wandao asked.

"It's not that I can only set it once, but I can only set it once within a year. If I want to set it again, I have to wait until next year." Li Pingrun said.

"Then can't I just ask other alchemists to continue?" Tie Wandao said.

"No, Chieftain." Li Pingrun said, "If I use magic to seal the passage back to its original state, then if I want to set up something like that in the basement, I'm the only one who can do it." "That's strange. Just because you sealed it with magic, you're the only one who can set up something like that?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "If others want to set it up, they will also be disturbed. This is related to the spell I used when I sealed the channel."

Tie Wandao asked: "What if you don't use magic to block the passage almost as it was originally, then others can set it up, right?"

Li Pingrun asked, "Leave the passage open?"

"Yeah, there's nothing in it anyway, so what if it's open?" Tie Wandao said.

"If others know that there is a passage in the basement of Muxi Pavilion, is this... okay?" Li Pingrun asked.

Tie Wandao thought: Of course it's not good, do you really think I would let you do this? I just want to hear what you have to say.

However, Tie Wandao said something different from what he thought. He said, "Not good, but in that case, if you set it up for the first time, after twenty-four hours, will others be able to set it up?"

"Not yet after twenty-four hours." Li Pingrun said.

"Why? Are other people's settings also affected by yours?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes. If I set it up after I do, and someone else sets it up, it will take another month, counting from the twenty-four hours after the one I set up takes effect, before they can set it up again."

"Then if you don't need to set it up for the first time, can't I find another alchemist to do it?" Tie Wandao said.
