Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2840 (Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty) How Long
"Why are you hesitating again?" Tie Wandao said, "I remember you were never like this before."

"Chief, the situation was different before," said Li Pingrun.

"What's the difference?" Tie Wandao asked.

"This kind of thing has never happened before." Li Pingrun said.

"Now that it's appeared, you can just solve it!" Tie Wandao said.

"I can't guarantee that I can solve it." Li Pingrun said.

"Why can't you guarantee it?" Tie Wandao asked, "Why do you seem to have to repeat this over and over again? I just said that there won't be anyone who keeps doing magic, right? You just said for a long time that it won't happen, and you still want to say 'but' what?"

"Chief, I was just about to say..." Li Pingrun said, "It's hard to say in such a short time."

"Why is it hard to say in a short time?" Tie Wandao asked, "How long is the short time you are talking about?"

"For example... one or two days." Li Pingrun replied.

"You said one or two days was a short time?" Tie Wandao asked, "How long do you think that person's magic can last?"

"It's hard to say." Li Pingrun said, "It's hard to say that's why I can't confirm some situations."

Tie Wandao asked: "Why is it hard to tell? Every time before you perform a ritual, I ask you how long it will take. Don't you always tell me how long it will take you?"

"Yes, Chieftain." Li Pingrun said, "But that was when I was performing the ritual myself. I know how long it will take me to perform the ritual."

"I know." Tie Wandao said, "But it doesn't take you that long each time."

Li Pingrun said: "That is true, but not all spells can be completed in a short time."

"Of course I know that." Tie Wandao said, "But I can tell from watching you perform the magic. At least when you perform the magic, most of the time it doesn't take long." Li Pingrun said, "That's true. However, the situations are different for different types of magic."

Tie Wandao said: "It's not just you. When I ask other alchemists to help me with something, it usually doesn't take them long to complete the task."

Li Pingrun said: "Perhaps those alchemists have all been trained in the world."

Tie Wandao thought for a moment and said, "If you haven't received Huanshi, would you tend to use magic for a long time?"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Pingrun said, "It's just that I think those who have not received the Cleansing World may perform the rituals for a long time. Because I have received the Cleansing World, it is difficult for me to know the conditions of those who have not received the Cleansing World."

Tie Wandao thought for a moment and said, "Listening to what you said, I feel as if the person who influenced you to do this is really someone who has never accepted Huanshi."

Li Pingrun said: "I think so too, but I can't be sure."

Tie Wandao said: "How about this, you perform the ritual again later and test it again to see if you can find out anything."

Li Pingrun said, "Yes, Patriarch. If I still can't figure it out this time, I hope you can forgive me."

Tie Wandao said: "You said this before you even took the test, do you know something?"

"No." Li Pingrun said, "It's just that I've done it twice. If the third time doesn't work, I hope I won't be punished."

Tie Wandao sneered and said, "When did you become so timid? You have changed a lot."

Li Pingrun looked at Tie Wandao, as if waiting for him to tell him whether he could avoid punishment.
