Jiangli didn’t want to continue undermining Xia Xin’s confidence and said, "Learn from me, I’ll teach you. First, use the Copper Coins to arrange the formation."
As she spoke, she took out a handful of Copper Coins.
She guided Xia Xin step by step.
Xia Xin followed Jiangli’s teachings with rapt attention. Over the past few days, he had learned quite a bit from her.
Perhaps it was because he had opened his Heavenly Eye, his aptitude indeed had improved somewhat.
But it was just somewhat.
Fortunately, under Jiangli’s step-by-step instruction, Xia Xin managed to awkwardly use the Spirit Summoning Talisman with his hands forming seals.
The Spirit Summoning Talisman began to burn, emitting plumes of blue smoke.
Yet, there was no movement in the room.
It was so calm that it was absurd.
It seemed as if even the sound of the wind had ceased.
In the midst of this dead silence, Xia Xin thought he heard the sound of a slap to his face. He looked at Jiangli in dismay, wishing he could bash his head against the ground, "Ancestor... I, I seem to have failed..."
Logically, he had done everything right.
After the Spirit Summoning Talisman burned, the spirit should have been summoned.
But there was still no movement in the room up to now.
This proved that Xia Xin had failed.
Jiangli, however, was incredibly calm. She cuddled her phone, playing games while saying, "Don’t worry, the first time summoning a spirit is always slow—"
But wasn’t this too slow?
Xia Xin, doubting his own ability, nervously looked around.
As if to confirm Jiangli’s words, after a few minutes, Xia Xin saw glimmers of light suddenly appearing on the Copper Coins laid out on the ground like a path.
The next second, a pitch-black road appeared in the room.
Xia Xin looked up excitedly and saw a figure at the end of the road, slowly approaching.
The person looked completely like a human, holding a guiding lantern in his hand and dressed in the attire of an ancient Government Official.
Clearly, it was a very ordinary Ghost Envoy.
His movements were extremely slow, as if he didn’t want to come at all.
Seeing him, Xia Xin was thrilled.
"Over here, over here!" He couldn’t help jumping up, waving at the other party.
It was his first time summoning a spirit; even if it was just an ordinary Ghost Envoy, it was enough to excite him.
The Ghost Envoy didn’t seem to expect someone summoning a spirit to act . His rigid face showed a bit of doubt and disdain, and he even thought about turning around and leaving.
However, when his gaze swept over Jiangli, who was sitting on the bed playing with her phone, he became somewhat suspicious.
All Ghost Envoys have the Spiritual Eye, and he could tell at a glance that Jiangli was no ordinary person, but he couldn’t determine whether she was in her original form or a Spiritual Body.
For a moment, he couldn’t discern exactly who Jiangli was.
Curious, he walked over and asked politely, "Did you summon the spirit?"
Xia Xin, ecstatic, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Greetings, Ghost Envoy, my name is Xia Xin! I summoned you here to ask you to guide two people away."
He introduced Lin Yurong and Liao Qianqian to the Ghost Envoy, and in every gesture, his excitement was palpable.
The excitement of a novice who successfully summoned a spirit for the first time.
The Ghost Envoy was used to such sights and glanced over Liao Qianqian and Lin Yurong briefly. Then, he looked towards Jiangli and ventured, "And this person is?"
"He’s the one who summoned the spirit. If you have any matters, talk to him, don’t bother me," Jiangli said without looking up, firmly refusing to interact.
The Ghost Envoy had never seen someone treat a Ghost Envoy with such an attitude.
People of the Xuanmen had always been subordinate to Fengdu, and these days, members of the Xuanmen were even more respectful towards those from Fengdu.
Typically, people from the Xuanmen who successfully summoned a spirit were as excited as Xia Xin, or they were also very polite and showed great respect.
Someone like Jiangli was a rare exception.
The Ghost Envoy looked at Jiangli’s reaction and felt somewhat displeased internally.
But in consideration of Jiangli being no ordinary individual, the Ghost Envoy adjusted his deceased person’s face and turned back to Xia Xin to ask, "Did you capture them?"
