"Chirp chirp!" The oriole seemed to have spotted the familiar figure as well. It chirped happily twice, flew down from the priest's shoulder, circled He Fei once, and then landed on He Fei's shoulder.
"It's been a long time since we last met," the priest said with a smile.
"Mom, quick, quickly demonstrate what spirit summoning is!" He Fei said impatiently, putting Huang Ying back on her shoulder.
"Alright, alright, look how excited you are," the priest said with a smile. Fair fingers extended from his sleeves and drew a strange pattern in front of him. A faint golden light appeared on the priest's fingers, and even more miraculously, a golden light gradually appeared on Huang Ying's body, echoing the light on the priest's palm.
"Spirit Summoning is the use of the special power inherent in the summoned beast itself. One uses their own body as a medium to draw in the spiritual energy within the summoned beast and then casts the spell. It is one of the simplest summoning techniques."
The priest explained to He Fei that, after all, she was still a novice who had just started out, and even if she had signed a contract, she certainly wouldn't know how to use the summoning spell.
"Wow! How amazing!" He Fei stared intently at the golden light in front of her. It was a yellow-colored power with a sharp aura.
"The key to the Spirit Summoning Technique is to be in sync with the summoned beast. After all, our summoner race values the tacit understanding between humans and beasts the most. Only when you reach a certain level can you use the Spirit Summoning Technique. It's not only a test of your control over power, but also a test of your tacit understanding with the summoned beast." The priest withdrew his power and spoke softly to He Fei.
"Oh, I understand, mother."
He Fei nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Come on, give it a try."
He said with a smile, glancing at He Fei and Bai Ye in her arms.
"Can I really do it?"
He Fei was somewhat surprised. She had never tried to cast a summoning spell before, especially not in front of her mother. What if she failed? How embarrassing would that be!
"When your father learned this, he practiced for three days and three nights! Now I'm just letting you try it out. It doesn't matter if you fail. No one is born a genius. Everyone becomes strong through hard work."
The priest encouraged He Fei.
He Fei nodded, mustered her courage, and imitated the priest's gesture, drawing a pattern in the air. Then, specks of lightning appeared on her fingers, but they were very faint, looking like the light of fireflies, very weak.
"Yes, that's it. Feel the power communication between yourself and the summoned beast, and then use the connection between the two to mobilize the power in the summoned beast's body and unleash it through yourself."
The priest kept guiding He Fei, who closed her eyes and carefully felt the wonderful connection she had experienced when the contract was signed.
This process is like countless red threads with no end in sight, a tangled mess that needs to be untangled little by little.
As my thoughts gradually became clearer, the light in my hand became dimmer, with a faint crackling sound—very subtle, yet very real.
The priest's initial joy had completely turned into shock. His daughter was only trying to summon spirits for the first time. Even with her own experience to help her, she shouldn't have been able to gather such powerful energy in one go.
He Fei slowly opened her eyes, looking at the lightning flashing on her fingers. Although it was not her own power, she was able to control it, and she was overjoyed.
"Mother! Mother! I did it! Did you see it? Your daughter did it!"
He Fei said excitedly. In her excitement, her original focus disappeared and the light in her hand returned to her body.
"Daughter, you are a genius. I was once considered the most talented summoner in the Bai family, but it took me a whole day to barely learn it. You succeeded on your first try. It seems that you are even more talented than me."
The priest remarked with emotion that the more outstanding her daughter was, the happier she was. Who wouldn't want their children to be more outstanding than themselves?
Chen Feng watched the two women's excited expressions with a bored expression, somewhat speechless.
What he didn't say was that the contract between the two was not something that ordinary small summoner families could do. It was a high-level contract that was far beyond the reach of ordinary contracts. Once such a contract was signed, the summoned beast and the summoner would be inseparable. Not only could He Fei use Bai Ye's power, but she could do the same in reverse, although it wouldn't be very useful.
This is the benefit of a high-level contract. Even if Bai Ye doesn't take action, He Fei can forcibly mobilize Bai Ye's power to resist powerful enemies. Unless the enemy's power is almost equal to Bai Ye's, it won't work. After all, it's Chen Feng's power, and even if He Fei uses it, she can't reach Bai Ye's level 100%.
However, seeing how happy He Fei was, Chen Feng didn't say anything. Good things are always fleeting, so let the two mother and daughter, who had been separated for so long, enjoy this brief happiness.
The priest was intrigued by the success of her first attempt and taught He Fei several simple summoning spells, such as sending summoned beasts back to their origin, summoning them through arrays, and using one's own power to temporarily control the mind of a summoned beast. These were relatively simple summoning spells, which she had heard Chen Feng mention before.
Chen Feng also had a contracted divine beast called Yin Hu. She remembered that Chen Feng's divine beast was very magical and cute.
He Fei learned very quickly, which amazed the priest.
The mother and daughter spent the entire afternoon cultivating, and by the time they both felt a bit tired, it was already evening.
So He Fei said to the priest, "Mother, you need to rest well. Let's put this matter aside for now." Then He Fei closed the door and went back to her room.
She remembered that Chen Feng had given her a beast egg. It was currently inside a cave behind the mountain. "What could this beast egg be? When Chen Feng gave it to me, I thought it was useless, but now it seems it's useful."
The next day, after she got up, she thought about going to find the beast egg. Thinking of the beast egg, she couldn't help but recall that kiss, muttering to herself, "You rascal."
"Rogue?" Suddenly, a very magnetic voice came from beside me.
He Fei was startled and instinctively assumed a defensive stance. Chen Feng's devilishly handsome face broke into a smile as he swiftly jumped in through the window, then closed it in one fluid motion, without any hesitation. "You scoundrel, what are you doing here?" He Fei saw Chen Feng, but instead of lowering her defensive stance, she became even more tense.
