Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2562 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Two) Takes Effect

Li Pingrun continued, "After you stay away from the tree for a while, the protection of the spell on you will be lifted automatically. This protection will gradually disappear, and as the protection gradually disappears, the temperature of your fingertips will gradually change until it returns to normal."

Tie Wandao asked, "Why is it that even though I've been away from that tree for a while, my fingertips are still burning and I don't feel any changes?"

Li Pingrun explained: "It depends on the individual. Some people start to change earlier after leaving, while others start to change later."

Out of curiosity, Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun, "Is there anyone whose fingertips have started to change from hot to normal temperature before leaving the tree?"

"This usually doesn't happen." Li Pingrun said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

Li Pingrun said, "Unless that person has previously engaged in some magic-related activities, and those activities have affected that person's physical condition."

Tie Jinjue thought: No wonder it is like this!
Li Pingrun continued, "Even so, such people are still protected by the tree."

Tie Wandao said, "For the kind of person you're talking about, when they were at the tree, the temperature of the tip of their index finger had changed, but they were still protected as if nothing had changed?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said.

"Didn't you just say that the heat in your fingertips proves that the protective method is effective?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"The temperature levels of a person's fingertips gradually return to normal. Doesn't that prove that the protection is gradually losing its effectiveness?" Tie Wandao said.

"If it's an ordinary person, the gradual change in the temperature back to normal would naturally prove that the protection is failing. But the kind of person I just mentioned has done some magic-related activities before, and those activities have affected the person's physical condition, which is different." Li Pingrun answered. Tie Wandao asked curiously: "If it's that kind of person, how do you know if the protection is failing?"

Li Pingrun said: "Even for that kind of person, the protection will not expire as long as they are not completely away from the tree. After they are away, it is not easy for them to know when the protection on them expires, but it is also not dangerous for them."

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the big circle.

Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "When you finish packing up your things, will this big circle disappear?"

"What does the clan leader think?" Li Pingrun asked.

"What do you think?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I think... the clan leader will make this big circle disappear." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said expressionlessly: "The entrance is not easy to find today, are you going to leave a mark later?"

Li Pingrun said, "Yes."

After answering, Li Pingrun still asked Tie Wandao with some concern: "The clan leader must want this big circle to disappear, right?"

Tie Wandao said, "Do I even need to ask this question? Although this place doesn't seem to have many visitors, it's not a place that no one can come to. If this big circle doesn't disappear and is left here, what if someone comes and is aroused by curiosity? What if that person happens to be a Taoist priest?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said, "I know, I must not arouse other people's curiosity. Then... I won't make the mark of the entrance to the underground space very obvious, I can find it myself when the time comes."
