Chapter 2714 (Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Fourteen) Three Wheels

Tie Wandao said, "Didn't the Taoist priest test the conditions of various places in Tiecang Court the first time and then determine that these places met the requirements? Did the Taoist priest then test them a second time?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "We did a second round of testing. The first round is the preliminary selection, to determine which locations meet all the conditions required by the alchemist to perform the ritual. After the preliminary selection, the alchemist will perform the ritual again and choose one location from the preliminary selected locations as the location for designing all of this."

Tie Wandao asked, "Why bother? Didn't the Taoist priests have a general understanding of the conditions of these locations during the first round of testing?"

Li Pingrun said: "We have some understanding. It is precisely because of this understanding that we conducted a second round of testing."

Tie Wandao asked: "Since we already know everything, why do we need to conduct a second round of testing? Is it to confirm it?"

Tie Wandao said, "It's not for confirmation. Confirmation will be done in the third round of testing later."

"There is a third round?" Tie Wandao asked, "Then tell me why the Taoist priest wanted to conduct a second round of tests."

"Because the results of the first round of tests are different from what the alchemist expected." Li Pingrun replied.

"Why is it different?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said: "After the first round of tests, the Taoist thought that under normal circumstances, this location with the waterfall should be the location among the several locations initially selected where his magic would have the least effect on the person whose mind was controlled. However, some signs in the first round of test results indicate that this is not the case."

"What was the Taoist's reaction after the second round of testing?" Tie Wandao asked.

"The Taoist priest was very surprised," Li Pingrun said. "He couldn't figure out why this place with a waterfall was the place where his magic could have the greatest effect on the person whose mind was controlled."

Tie Wandao said: "So the Taoist priest conducted a third round of tests to confirm it?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said. "The result of the third round of testing is that this place is still the place where his magic can have the greatest effect on the controlled mind?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"What was the Taoist's reaction at this time?" Tie Wandao asked.

"The alchemists always felt that the results were incredible and worried that something might go wrong," said Li Pingrun.

"Did the Taoist tell these things to the person who asked him to design all this?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "After each round of measurement, the Taoist priest will explain the situation to the person who asked him to design all this."

Tie Wandao asked, "What is the reaction of the person who asked the Taoist to design all this every time?"

"After the first round of testing, the person who asked the alchemist to design all this agreed to let him conduct a second round of testing. After the second round of testing, the person who asked the alchemist to design all this agreed to let him conduct a third round of testing." Li Pingrun replied.

Tie Wandao said: "What about after the third round of testing?"

Li Pingrun said: "At that time, the person who asked the Taoist priest to design all this saw that the Taoist priest was worried, so he asked him to find the reason."

"Did the Taoist priest do as he was told?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "In fact, it was not easy for the Taoist priest to find the reason at that time. The Taoist priest himself felt that he would feel at ease only after finding the reason. If he could not find the reason, even though he had confirmed that this place was the place where the Taoist priest's magic could have the greatest effect on the controlled mind, he would not dare to design everything here directly."
