Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2975 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Five) Autumn Mango

Li Pingrun seemed to sense that his master did not think his dry explanation was meaningful, but he continued, "Master, I will never forget your kindness! Although I have embarked on this road stained by poison, I will still stick to the things I have always insisted on. As for how I will go in the future... I don't know. I don't know how long I will have "in the future"..."

He felt that after he said these words to his master, he was not as nervous as before, as if he would be able to perform the rituals without being distracted or panicking.

Although he was not sure if this was the case, he started trying it anyway and was determined to try it again.

He returned to the cushion, sat down, took a deep breath and exhaled. He felt that he really would not encounter the same situation that had happened last time, so he began to perform the ritual.

As he used magic to perform some actions, one of the incense sticks burned up. He continued to perform some actions, causing the other incense sticks to burn up one by one. Finally, all the incense sticks burned up.

At this time, he was preparing to use magic in a while. The last time he used green glue to test what was in his mind, it had proved what he wanted to know. He learned that the death of his sister Li Gengmi was actually related to him taking the wrong path.

This time was different, he really wanted to test what he should do in the future. Since the required props were not complete, he did not think that this method would be able to help him learn anything useful, but since his master had taught him this method before, he still wanted to try it.

After lighting all the incense with magic, he stood up from the mat, walked to the cabinet, and took out a thing called "Qiumang Box" that his master had given him. He knew that the Qiumang Box could only accurately "tell" him what he wanted to know when it was under the influence of something called "Qinglu Stone", but there was only one Qinglu Stone in the world, and his master had destroyed it before he passed away. Qiumang Box is not uncommon, but without the Qinglu Stone, no matter how high the magic is, people who use Qiumang Box may not be able to accurately understand what they want to know. However, there are still some alchemists who use Qiumang Box, and they don't think that the information they get after using it is accurate. They just want to know some clues and want Qiumang Box to assist them. Of course, sometimes Qiumang Box can indeed provide some very useful hints to those alchemists.

The same was true for Li Pingrun. He knew that no matter what he did, the Qiumang Box might not be able to give him an accurate answer. However, he felt that he didn't know how to proceed anyway, so he might as well use this unreliable method due to the lack of something to give himself some inspiration.

So he moved a shorter table used for rituals to a position three feet away from the cushion on the ground and placed the Qiumang box on the shorter table.

Looking at the incense in the incense burner, he felt that it was not the right time yet.

He thought about the scene when his master taught him this magic, and how his master told him that at least half of the incense had to burn out a certain short time before he could start the magic.

Even though there was no Qing Lushi at all, Li Pingrun still felt that he had to do as his master said.
