Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2698 (Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Eight) Comfort

"This is not what the alchemist wants to see, but since he designed it that way, this situation is bound to occur," said Li Pingrun.

Tie Wandao added: "Wouldn't that affect the purpose of the person who assigned the alchemist the task?"

"It won't affect it." Li Pingrun said, "According to the design of the Taoist priest, after that slight shaking occurs, the cliff will suddenly become hot. The clan leader and I both felt that heat just now, and that's because we were sitting directly on the cliff. The degree of heat on the top of the cliff was actually designed by the Taoist priest, just to make the degree that the controlled person felt comfortable. In fact, the reason why we all felt hot when we sat on the cliff just now was just because we were not sitting on that chair. We would feel hot if we sat directly, but people sitting on that kind of chair would feel very warm. When the controlled person's mood is not as good as before, after feeling that warmth, his mood will immediately return to the very good level before."

"We didn't feel the heat for long when we were sitting here just now, which proves that the heat will disappear soon. According to the alchemist's plan, after the heat disappears, won't the mood of the person whose mind is controlled become bad again?" Tie Wandao said.

"No." Li Pingrun said, "As long as the person whose mind is being controlled feels the warmth and his mood returns to the very good state before, the heat will subside. In the following period of time, the mood of the person whose mind is being controlled will not become bad again."

"According to the alchemist's plan, how long will those three stay on the cliff?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I can't tell the exact time, but they should be down soon," Li Pingrun replied.

"According to the Taoist's design, will the person whose mind is controlled still sit on that chair?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I don't know yet." Li Pingrun said.

"Didn't you figure out what you did just now?" Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun.

"I can't figure it out." Li Pingrun replied, "I can only find out what happens next after I go down and perform the ritual." "Then what should we do next?" Tie Wandao asked.

"We should go down now." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao glanced down and asked Li Pingrun, "There is no ladder on this side of the cliff. How do we get down?"

Li Pingrun said: "I can understand it through practice."

"Is this method risky?" Tie Wandao asked.

"It's a bit big." Li Pingrun said, "But there's nothing I can do. I just saw a long stone pole over there. I don't have enough physical strength and I don't know martial arts, so I can't go down directly along the stone pole. I must find a suitable way to go down through magic."

Tie Wandao looked for the long stone pole that Li Pingrun mentioned, and after seeing it, he said to Li Pingrun: "Can this stone pole lead to the bottom? If it can, we can just climb down along the stone pole." He knew that Li Pingrun wanted to find other ways, and he didn't want to waste his energy to really climb down along the stone pole. He said this just to show Li Pingrun that he was a martial arts expert and had good physical strength, which would make him feel proud.

Li Pingrun said, "Chief, I know you are a martial arts expert. You may be able to get down from this cliff even without this stone pole. But I don't know martial arts and my physical strength is poor, so if I want to get down, I still need to find a way through magic."
