Chapter 247 One of the Eight Great Divine Spells: Golden Light Spell

Chapter 247: Chapter 247 One of the Eight Great Divine Spells: Golden Light Spell

The young lady’s question was actually the same question most of the viewers in the live stream had.

Gregory Xander wasn’t often pursued with such inquiries, but he endured patiently and answered her doubts.

"From your best friend’s appearance, there is no direct cause and effect with that female ghost; it’s more likely they had a chance encounter through some kind of medium. These mediums could be the place where the Shadow Soul died in her lifetime or objects she used regularly."

"You can see ghosts because you got trapped in the panic of seeing them after being poisoned by those mushrooms. Humans have three flames of Yang Fire, and once you fall into fear or your fortune wanes, the Yang Fire weakens, making you more likely to see ghosts."

"What I just recited is the Golden Light Spell, one of the Eight Great Divine Spells in Taoist morning prayers. This spell can only intimidate ordinary ghosts, and reciting it effectively depends on one’s personal talent."

Gregory Xander paused, glancing at Miss Mushroom, "Your talent is average, barely usable."

Miss Mushroom wasn’t upset by his comment since, after all, who could have as superb talent as her daughter?

Instead, she eagerly pursued her question,

"Then what’s up with my blood? Just now, when I pressed on that thing, it shrieked and ran away. Is my blood the kind that wards off evil, making ghosts feel burned like with Karmic Fire when they touch it?"

After listening to her, Gregory Xander merely lifted his eyelids lightly, cruelly dousing her hopes,

"The blood that wards off evil is chicken blood and black dog blood."

Miss Mushroom: "..."

The viewers almost burst out laughing at Gregory Xander’s blunt words.

[Hahaha, Hasn’t the young lady read too many supernatural novels?]

[That fingertip blood, I know. Taoism says the fingertip blood of the middle finger has the most abundant Yang energy, and when faced with danger, you can dot it on your forehead. Can’t believe it actually works!]

[Silly Xander, you’re too much. No matter if it’s a man or woman, you’ll roast them. Brother, let me give you some advice, you’re going to stay single for life at this rate.]

[He even made Ariel cry. The person above still hopes he knows what it means to be gentle with women?]

[Strangely, I find Silly Xander both annoying and amusing.]

[I’ve learned something; I’m bookmarking the Golden Light Spell from the Eight Great Divine Spell! Next time I run into a ghost, I’ll use it while hiding under the covers!]

[Hahaha, according to the treaty of mutual non-aggression between humans and ghosts, no ghost can attack a person hiding under the covers! The blanket is humanity’s last line of defense.]

[To be fair, when the young man recited the incantation, his aura was particularly strong; is there a method for that?]

Gregory Xander had intended to zip it after answering Miss Mushroom’s questions, but seeing the barrage of viewer questions, he felt obliged to respond,

"The fingertip blood of the middle finger indeed concentrates the body’s most vigorous Yang energy, but it’s not recommended to use it recklessly."

"To recite the Golden Light Spell effectively, you need to recite it a hundred times each morning."

"The rule that ghosts can’t attack people under the covers is wrong; no such treaty exists between humans and ghosts."

Hearing him genuinely correct the online jokes, the audience in the live stream found it amusing.

A few even felt that Gregory Xander was kind of cute.

It was Gregory Xander’s first time experiencing such interaction; at first, he reluctantly responded, but gradually he started engaging directly with the questions from the barrage.

It seemed he had completely forgotten how disdainful he used to be of promoting supernatural beliefs online.

He even seemed a bit captivated by the audience’s compliments.

Meanwhile, when Gregory Xander and the live stream audience were engrossed in their interaction, Miss Mushroom’s friend silently pulled out her phone to search once again. At that moment, she slammed her thigh in anger,

"This tourist attraction is such a scam!"

As she spoke, she brought up the content she found to the camera, revealing a recent local news article on the screen.

The news reported a woman who suddenly died while experiencing the tourist attraction’s sedan chair project.

Although the photo of the woman had been pixelated, her clothes and figure were exactly what Miss Mushroom had seen in the female ghost.

Miss Mushroom’s eyes slowly widened, "Isn’t this the same sedan chair project you insisted on experiencing yesterday?!"

Her best friend was almost in tears, "I knew it was something wrong with that sedan chair! They actually used a sedan chair that a person had died in to carry people!"

This statement immediately sparked an uproar among the viewers in the live stream who sympathized with her friend.

After all, imagining themselves in her shoes, anyone would feel uneasy about such a situation.

Not to mention this encounter with an actual ghost.

In no time, many viewers started searching for the news article.

What was originally a small local news piece hadn’t caused a big stir online, but with the "Inspiration" program’s audience flocking en masse, the incident quickly skyrocketed to trending.

The tourist attraction management was initially baffled, unsure of how the issue was suddenly unearthed, but they promptly responded with a statement explaining that it was a misunderstanding by netizens. They claimed the sedan chair involved in the incident had been destroyed, and the one currently in use was newly made.

However, shortly after this statement was released, vigilant netizens challenged it again.

They first uncovered photos from netizens who had recently visited the area and experienced the sedan chair project.

Then, by comparing the details of the sedan chair before and after the incident, netizens determined through various scratch marks that it was the same sedan chair!

Even without those pieces of evidence, the truth couldn’t be denied.

After all, someone actually witnessed a ghost here!

And it was witnessed by millions of viewers.

The tourist spot’s management had no choice but to promptly delete their previous statement and issue an apology instead, pledging to publicly destroy the old sedan chair.

This issue caused quite the stir online, giving tourist spots in the Xiang Province unexpected popularity.

Some onlookers who thrived on chaos even declared their intention to experience the sedan chair project and taste the legendary ghost-sighting soul mushroom soup.

Later on, the internet turned these two activities into a "ghost encounter package," attracting numerous influencers to visit, but that’s another story.

The second round of assistance ended here, although it began with Miss Mushroom encountering a ghost; it concluded with Gregory Xander commanding and repelling the female ghost.

The second round was judged a win for Gregory Xander.

Right now, the score was tied at one to one.

Scarlett Jennings looked at Gregory Xander, seemingly asking with her eyes, will you continue?

After all, seeing his recent interaction with the viewers, it felt like this person was already savoring the experience.

Gregory Xander wouldn’t admit the satisfaction he felt from the compliments in the barrage. Meeting Scarlett Jennings’s gaze, he merely tightened his face and said,

"Three rounds of assistance, there’s one more round left."

He definitely wouldn’t surrender easily.

Scarlett Jennings and the other guests fell silent and began preparing for the third round of assistance.

But before the draw result for the next round was revealed, Scarlett Jennings received another request for help on her phone.

This request wasn’t from a person.

It was from the female ghost, Qingqing Guan, who had previously occupied the Garrison Family villa.
