Very quickly!
A palace servant brought over a steaming hot copper basin and placed it in front of Jiang Shentong.
In order to ensure Jiang Shentong's needs, the palace servants even brought a stove and placed the copper basin on the stove. In a short while, the hot water in the copper basin began to boil.
Jiang Shentong looked at the boiling water in the copper basin, then cupped his hands and said to Martial Emperor Liu Che,""Your Majesty, please take a closer look. At this moment, there is only boiling water in the copper basin. There is no ghost fire or lightning.”
"Next, I'm going to use a spell to summon ghost flames!”
After Jiang Shentong finished speaking, he began to chant and dance around the copper basin.
If one had to use a word to describe it.
And that was…jumping to the gods!
As Immortal Jiang jumped around, he began to cast spells on the copper basin. Finally, he shouted," Ghost fire, summon!”
Everyone in the hall was horrified to find that there were really ghost flames above the boiling water in the copper basin.
The green will-o'-the-wisps, accompanied by the boiling water in the copper basin, began to illuminate the entire hall.
"Ah, ghost fire, it's really ghost fire!”
"I didn't expect Immortal Jiang to really be able to summon ghost flames. He's really a god!”
"Deity, since Immortal Jiang can summon ghost flames, does that mean he can communicate with ghosts and gods to refine immortal pills?”
"Immortal Jiang is really a god. I didn't believe it when I heard that Immortal Jiang could summon ghost flames. Now it seems that I'm ignorant.”
"There's no need to continue this competition. Immortal Jiang will definitely win.”
" That's right, that's right. Immortal Jiang has even summoned ghost flames. How can Xu Shu Ren win…"
“……”
In the middle of the hall, the copper basin and the ghostly fire lit up out of thin air. Not to mention the ministers and palace servants in the hall, even Emperor Wu Liu Che, Empress Dowager Dou, Empress Dowager Wang, and the others were terrified and thought that a ghost had really appeared.
"Your Majesty, could there really be a ghost in that basin?”
Empress Chen had never seen such a scene before. Seeing the ghostly fire in the copper basin that was constantly rolling and flickering with boiling water, she said with some fear.
"This…"
Liu Che didn't know how to answer this question because he didn't know either.
The appearance of the ghost fire was beyond his knowledge.
His attitude towards ghosts and gods could not help but waver. He doubted whether ghosts and gods really existed in this world and whether Immortal Jiang could really summon ghost flames or even ghosts and gods.
Jiang Shentong looked at the terrified ministers in the hall and listened to the words of shock, flattery, and fear. He could not help but feel light-headed.
He looked at Xu Yan with contempt and said proudly,""Kid, didn't you say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and that the immortal techniques of necromancers like us are just tricks to deceive people? Could it be that this old man's summoning ghost fire technique could be fake?”
Summoning ghost fire was not a unique skill of his line, but it was still the specialty of top-notch necromancers.
He did not believe that Xu Yan could crack it.
"Of course it's fake!"
Xu Yan looked at the green flames burning in the copper basin with disgust and said indifferently.
However, he did not directly reveal the principle and secret of the fire in the water.
Instead, he looked at the white-haired old alchemist whose name was unknown and continued,""Don't you still have the ability to summon lightning? If you have the ability, then use it together. Otherwise, if I expose your little trick of summoning ghost fire, you'll be too scared to use it.”
The reason why Xu Yan did not expose the trick of summoning ghost fire was that he wanted to verify the old necromancer's lightning summoning skill.
If the other party's Lightning Summoning Spell was really what he thought.
This old liar in front of him might be of some use.
"Hmph, dead ducks are the hardest!"
When Jiang Shentong heard Xu Yan's disdainful words, he could not help but snort coldly. He felt that Xu Yan was just putting on an act.
Of course, because many necromancers were proficient in summoning ghost fire, Jiang Shentong could not guarantee that Xu Yan really did not know the secret of this immortal technique.
Therefore, in order to be foolproof, he still needed to use his own unique skill.
Summon lightning!
"Since you want to see this old man's ability to summon lightning, then this old man will do as you wish. At the same time, this old man will also release the evil spirit in the copper basin and use the masculine power of lightning to eliminate this evil spirit.”
After Jiang Shentong finished speaking, he turned to Liu Che and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, evil spirits are originally evil creatures. Although Your Majesty has the fate of the country and the protection of the dragon energy, you don't have to worry about the invasion of evil spirits.
However, for the safety of the other nobles in the palace, I hope Your Majesty will allow me to summon lightning to eliminate this evil spirit.”
After Liu Che heard Jiang Shentong's words, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Yan. Seeing that Xu Yan's expression was still calm and without any worry, he nodded and said,"In that case, Immortal Jiang, please summon lightning and thunder to get rid of the evil spirit in the basin.”
"Yes!"
Jiang Shentong got Liu Che's permission and once again surrounded the copper basin and chanted.
"Lightning speed!"
Suddenly, Jiang Shentong shouted and his sleeve quickly swept over the copper basin of ghost fire.
Then, everyone in the hall saw a dazzling light appear out of thin air above the green ghost fire, just like lightning appearing out of thin air during a thunderstorm.
Such a change made everyone no longer doubt Immortal Jiang's divine power. All kinds of praises were endless.
Even the other necromancers, who were not bothered by Jiang Shentong's summoning of ghost fire, were shocked.
However, Jiang Shentong ignored everyone's shock and shouted again,"Thunder, come quickly, destroy the evil ghost!"
As soon as Jiang Shentong finished speaking, the scorching white light appeared again, and it was even more intense than before.
Then, everyone in the hall heard a loud bang. The ghost fire and boiling water in the copper basin instantly splashed out.
After a long time.
The ghost fire disappeared, and the boiling water in the basin returned to normal. Everything that had happened earlier seemed like an illusion.
"Brat, what do you think of this old man's Thunder Summoning?”
"Is it real or fake?"
When everything was over, Jiang Shentong looked at Xu Yan again and sneered.
"It's still fake!"
Xu Yan didn't even look at Jiang Shentong. He cupped his hands at Liu Che and said,"Your Majesty, since this Immortal Jiang has already completed his immortal technique, then let me expose his deception.”
Liu Che, who was originally shocked by Jiang Shentong's summoning of ghost fire and lightning.
Now that he heard Xu Yan's words, his face could not help but reveal a surprised expression. He asked,"Master Xu, do you mean that Immortal Jiang's divine art of summoning lightning is also fake?”
"Of course it's fake!"
Xu Yan said lightly.
After watching Jiang Shentong's immortal technique performance, he was too lazy to waste time with these scammers.
" The first is to summon ghost fire. To put it bluntly, it's a natural phenomenon of phosphorus powder. Your Majesty can understand the so-called phosphorus powder as a kind of ore. However, this kind of ore is very difficult to find in ordinary times and needs special methods to be produced.”
"Because the ignition point of the phosphorous powder is very low, it can automatically burn at room temperature. The flame is dark green.”
" The bones and teeth of humans and animals also contain a large amount of phosphorus. Therefore, after a person dies, if the corpse is exposed to the air for a long time, there will be a natural phenomenon of phosphorus powder. People do not know the principle behind it and mistakenly think that it is ghost fire.”
Xu Yan said calmly. He first explained the natural situation of the phosphorous powder, then looked at Jiang Shentong and continued,
"If I'm not wrong, the phosphorus powder Immortal Jiang used should be extracted from the remains of humans or animals after death.
This person usually hid the powder in his sleeves. When he performed the trick of summoning ghost fire, he would scatter the powder. As long as the temperature was high enough, the powder would spontaneously combust, and then there would be ghost fire burning.”
"As for how to prove that what I said is true?”
Xu Yan paused for a moment and then looked at Immortal Jiang and the necromancers, whose expressions had changed drastically. He said slowly,""The method is simple. As long as we get someone to search Immortal Jiang's body, we should be able to find the phosphorus powder hidden in his sleeve.”
