Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2468 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Eight) Room

"Did you later measure it at a place closer to Muxi Pavilion?" Tie Hongyan asked.

“Let’s go there and test it.” Tie Jinjue said.

"Uncle asked about the art of detection before leaving the room where Ni Yuan was performing the ritual?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "Actually it's not really leaving, because I went to her place again later."

Tie Hongyan asked, "You went there again?"

"Because it turned out to be true. Master Ni said at the time that if the result was true, she would need to go back to the room where she performed the ritual to do some finishing activities before she could tell me the situation, otherwise there would be danger." Tie Jinjue said.

"It can be measured at a place closer to Muxi Pavilion, but the finishing touches must be done in the room where she performs the ritual?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, because Master Ni wants to use some information contained in the room where she performs rituals." Tie Jinjue said.

"How did your uncle ask her about the art of stealth?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue replied: "At that time, Master Ni was preparing to take the things she wanted to bring. I chatted with her and asked her: 'Does Master Ni know the art of stealth detection?'"

Tie Hongyan said: "You didn't mention anything else, you just naturally asked about this while chatting?"

"Yes." Tie Jinjue replied.

Tie Hongyan asked again: "Uncle, did you notice how she reacted when you mentioned the art of stealth detection?" Tie Jinjue recalled and said: "I felt that she seemed a little surprised at first, but soon she seemed less surprised. She told me that she knew something about it."

Tie Hongyan said: "Did she say anything else?"

Tie Jinjue said: "Next, I asked her if a person knew the art of detecting hidden things, and whether the Taoist priest could tell by performing magic on that person, and she said no. I then asked her if the Taoist priest could not tell no matter how powerful his magic was, and she told me that he definitely could not tell. Then I mentioned the matter of Huanshi again, Hongyan, do you remember what we talked about before with regard to Huanshi?"

"Remember." Tie Hongyan said, "The alchemists must accept Huanshi before learning magic, but it is not ruled out that some people learn magic without accepting Huanshi."

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "I asked her again, if a person who has not received the training of Huanshi and knows magic performs a spell on a person who knows the art of detecting hidden things, can the person performing the spell tell that the person knows the art of detecting hidden things. Taoist priest Ni told me that he definitely can't tell."

Tie Hongyan said: "This is really good news. In this case, if my father finds a Taoist priest to test whether Le Yu can cast spells, even if the Taoist priest has never received Huan Shi, he will not find anything."

"That's true." Tie Jinjue said, "I asked Taoist Ni if the Hidden Detection Technique could be considered a spell. She said no. I was a little worried at the time, so I asked her if there were people who knew spells and regarded the Hidden Detection Technique as a spell."

"How did she answer?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue said, "She said that the Detective Technique is definitely not a spell. She also said that people who know spells normally wouldn't consider it a spell. As for whether someone insisted on saying it was a spell, like pointing at a stone and saying it's a fruit, she couldn't guess."

Tie Hongyan said: "She even used the analogy of pointing at a stone and saying it is a fruit..."

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "But she really couldn't guess whether someone would say it was a spell."
