Chapter 2656 (Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Six) Loss

Li Pingrun replied: "I can't be sure either."

"Guess." Tie Wandao said.

"I guess..." Li Pingrun said, "Patriarch, I really don't know where to start."

At this time, Li Pingrun discovered that Tie Wandao no longer looked as scary as before.

"Since you don't know where to start, then just perform a ritual. Aren't you a Taoist priest? Taoist priests always have a way to find out." Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "Patriarch, actually... I am subject to some restrictions in this underground space, and not all spells can be used."

Tie Wandao said: "Not all magic can be used, but it's not that all magic cannot be used. You even performed a spell for the young patriarch before."

"Clan leader, in fact, even I took risks when I performed rituals for the young clan leader before." Li Pingrun said.

"What's the risk?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is it possible that it will be disadvantageous to the young patriarch?"

Tie Wandao's eyes narrowed as he spoke, making him look a little scary.

"Of course not!" Li Pingrun said, "Why would I do something that might be detrimental to the young patriarch? The risk I'm talking about is the possibility that it might be detrimental to myself."

"Why is it disadvantageous?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"If anything goes wrong, it will cost me a lot of my skills." Li Pingrun said, "It may also cause me to be unable to use that kind of magic in the future."

"Is that it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.

"As alchemists, isn't it possible for mistakes to happen anywhere?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is this worth talking about?" Li Pingrun said, "It is true that mistakes can happen anywhere, but in this underground space that has been cast a spell, the possibility of errors when alchemists use certain spells is much greater."

"Is the possibility of error different with each spell?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, it's different." Li Pingrun said, "The magic that I used to perform on the young patriarch before is more likely to go wrong when used in this environment."

"Then why don't you use spells that are less likely to go wrong in this environment?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Because looking at the condition of the young clan leader after she fainted, only spells that are prone to errors in this environment can wake her up as soon as possible." Li Pingrun said.

"You used it, but what was the result? Did she wake up?" Tie Wandao asked.

"No." Li Pingrun said, "That method might just make her wake up as soon as possible, but the young patriarch's condition is too rare."

Tie Wandao said: "Then what was the meaning of the ritual you performed for her just now?"

Li Pingrun replied: "The significance is that I know that the young patriarch is definitely not in danger."

Tie Wandao said, "Since performing a ritual for the young patriarch is risky, and you've already done it, then I'll ask you to perform a ritual for the copper square plate. Is there anything you can't do?"

Li Pingrun said: "The matter is different. The matter of the young patriarch is too important. I think it is worth taking the risk. As for the matter of performing a ritual on the copper square plate..."

"Let me ask you, if you do this, what are the risks?" Tie Wandao asked.

"If I make a mistake, I will lose a lot of my skills, and I may not be able to use this magic again from now on." Li Pingrun replied.

"From what you said just now, do you think this matter is unimportant and not worth taking the risk?" Tie Wandao looked at Li Pingrun and said, "I am the clan leader. You think what the clan leader asked you to do is unimportant?"
