Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2441 White Mist

Tie Jinjue understood that what she said was a firm denial that the Hidden Detection Technique belonged to magic, just like denying that stones belonged to fruit. He felt more at ease than before, and thought: I shouldn't meet a Taoist priest who insisted that the Hidden Detection Technique belonged to magic, right? Besides, since Taoist priests couldn't tell that others knew the Hidden Detection Technique, even if the Taoist priest knew the Hidden Detection Technique, how could he suddenly think of the Hidden Detection Technique?
After the two talked for a while, they agreed to go to a place closer to Muxi Pavilion, where Ni Yuan would perform a ritual, and then the two would come to Ni Yuan.

Tie Jinjue took the things he was going to take back and went to a place closer to Muxi Pavilion with Ni Yuan.

[Chapter 248]

When the two of them walked to a secluded place close to Muxi Pavilion, Tie Jin Jue Ni Yuan said, "This place is already quite close to that building. If it's any closer, I'm worried it will be unsafe."

"Then I'll try it here. I need to find the most secluded place." Ni Yuan said.

She looked around and found a relatively empty place, but there were many obstructions around it. She said, "I can't believe I found such a suitable place here! These things are so tall. If I sit cross-legged in the open space, they will definitely block me. I will perform the ritual here."

Tie Jinjue said, "Master Ni, just rest assured and continue to perform the ritual. I will carefully observe the surrounding movements."

Ni Yuan began to perform the ritual.

While she was performing the ritual, Tie Jinjue was indeed watching the situation nearby carefully as he said.

Until Ni Yuan finished her ritual, no one else appeared near that place.

Tie Jinjue saw that Ni Yuan's reaction after this time was obviously different from the first time, and thought: It seems she has figured it out.

He asked, "Did you find out something?"

Ni Yuan nodded and whispered "yes". Then the two of them went to Ni Yuan's place as they had agreed.

After the two entered the room where Ni Yuan was performing the ritual, Ni Yuan put her things away and quickly carried out the finishing activities in the room.

Later, Tie Jinjue saw a few wisps of faint white mist coming out from one of the walls of the room.

Ni Yuan made some movements to guide the white mist coming out of the wall into the bottom of the five-pointed star-shaped silver plate on the ritual table. The white mist then disappeared, and Ni Yuan's finishing activities were completed.

Ni Yuan told Tie Jinjue that it was done, and handed the box filled with dust and pebbles on the five-pointed star-shaped silver plate to Tie Jinjue.

Tie Jinjue asked Ni Yuan: "Now that you have measured the situation again, there is no danger now, right?"

"There's no danger anymore." Ni Yuan said.

Then, Ni Yuan started talking to him.

Tie Jinjue listened attentively and asked questions whenever he thought of something. Ni Yuan also answered them seriously.

"The magic used by the person who constructed that building is very unusual?" Tie Jinjue said.

"Yes. The reason why I didn't measure anything here before has a lot to do with the fact that the building was cast a spell before. Logically speaking, I should be able to measure something when I cast a spell on the dust and stones here, and I don't need to get closer. Who knew that the spell cast by the person who cast the spell on the building was so strange that I had to get closer to measure it." Ni Yuan said, "That is really not the spell used by ordinary alchemists, and the caster has cast a spell on the building more than once. If the area where the building is located had not been protected by another caster with a spell, who knows what even stranger things would have happened."
