Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2597 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety-Seven) Not Enough

Tie Wandao looked at the way Le Yu talked to him. It really seemed like he was simply discussing the level of a Taoist priest with someone else, and he was not trying to hide anything at all.

Although his intuition told Tie Wandao that Le Yu had not lied to him and did not understand any "planning", he still felt that things would not be that simple when he thought about it.

He continued to talk to Le Yu, carefully observing his reaction: "Did the Taoist priest ever tell you that he couldn't do something?"

Le Yu was puzzled and asked, "Is it impossible to do it?"

"There are things that he wants to do, or the people in Shengrui Palace want him to do, but he says he can't do it." Tie Wandao asked.

Le Yu recalled and said, "This is true! The Taoist priest told me about it before I went to Muxi Pavilion."

Tie Wandao asked: "What was the situation at that time?"

Le Yu said, "My grandpa was asleep at the time. After the alchemist performed a ritual, he knew that someone needed to go to Muxi Pavilion at a specific time to do something specific in order for my grandpa to wake up as soon as possible. The people from Shengrui Palace felt that someone had to go there, which would take time, so they asked the alchemist, since he was so capable, couldn't he perform a ritual in Shengrui Palace to solve the problem? The alchemist said he couldn't do it. The people from Shengrui Palace also asked him if he couldn't do it because his body was affected during the treatment of my grandpa. The alchemist said no, and said that although he could understand the situation of Muxi Pavilion from a distance, he couldn't use the energy of Muxi Pavilion to do anything from such a long distance through rituals."

Tie Wandao thought: That Taoist priest was performing magic from a distance, so he could only "understand" the situation of Muxi Pavilion? If that was the case, then the Taoist priest would not be the one who later entered the passage to steal the remains of the person who committed suicide? I heard from Taoist Li that the person who stole the remains of the person who committed suicide destroyed the records when he was still some distance away from Muxi Pavilion! However, I can't draw conclusions so early. Maybe it has something to do with the distance? Although the Taoist priest that Le Yueyang mentioned said that he couldn't use the energy of Muxi Pavilion to do anything in Shengrui Hall through magic, could it be that it was simply because Shengrui Hall was not close enough to Muxi Pavilion? Would it be okay if it was closer?
Tie Wandao acted very casually and said, "That Taoist priest is so powerful. If he were closer to Muxi Pavilion, maybe he could do it."

Le Yu shook her head and said, "No way."

"How do you know?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Because the Taoist priest told the people of Shengrui Palace that he could only do it after entering Muxi Pavilion. If he didn't enter Muxi Pavilion, even if he was at the door, he couldn't use the energy of Muxi Pavilion to do anything." Le Yu said, "In fact, after my grandfather woke up, I asked the Taoist priest if there was anyone who could do it outside Muxi Pavilion. The Taoist priest said there should be someone, but the way of magic he practiced was not that kind, so it wouldn't work. However, despite that, I still think that the Taoist priest is already very powerful. Everyone learns different things and is good at different things. No matter how powerful a person is, it is normal for him to not be able to do something."

Tie Wandao looked at Le Yu's serious expression and felt that what she had said to him before could not be a lie. However, he still did not dare to believe his feelings. He naturally would not show that he did not believe Le Yu's words, so he pretended to discuss the level of alchemists with her and nodded repeatedly.
