Ghostbane

Unable to get an answer from Cain, Feng Xue sought out someone even more learned. However, the bartender, watching Feng Xue pour case after case of Tower Coins onto the bar counter, shook his head helplessly and answered bluntly:

"Infinite City doesn't have that method."

"The Infinite City doesn't have it, does that mean the Tower of Babel does?" Feng Xue was good at finding loopholes in language, but the bartender didn't take the bait at all:

"The Tower of Babel is part of the Infinite City; if you insist on separating the two, then the Tower of Babel doesn't either."

"Is there really no way at all?" Feng Xue said, unwilling to give up.

"This money can be considered a tip."

Upon hearing this, the bartender reached out and shoveled the mountain of Tower Coins in front of him under the counter, while still saying:

"Have no idea."

"Good heavens, so all that Tower Coins is only worth this..." Feng Xue was about to take out the salt when she suddenly heard a voice in her ear--

[After receiving a generous tip, the bartender whispers to you...]

"..." Feng Xue grinned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself, lost in thought, forgetting what she was going to say.

In the end, he could only silently process the information in his mind, leaving only a bag of salt in the shop...

"What exactly is the mechanism behind this tavern?"

Feng Xue muttered to herself as she returned home, tidying up all the sacrificial items except for an incense burner, a pair of White Candle, and three sticks of Incense Stick.

After tidying up the table, Feng Xue spread out a sheet of white paper, lit Incense Stick with White Candle, deliberately burned them into two short and one long shape, and then inserted them into the incense burner. Then she took out her expensive fountain pen.

Actually, according to the bartender, he should have gone to the basement of the department store to buy a lot of materials, but this time he happened to have some ready-made, which made it easier for him to make the most of it.

As the smoke curled upwards, Feng Xue held up her pen and whispered:

"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, and I am your present life..."

"Uh, why isn't it responding?" After completing a standard procedure, Feng Xue was slightly taken aback. She then used her Golden Finger to examine the pen again, and after confirming that there was no problem, she fell into deep thought.

He took out his phone, searched, and confirmed that his process was correct. Suddenly, he felt that his Golden Finger might not be so reliable after all.

But just then, he suddenly noticed that the interface of the expensive fountain pen seemed to have changed—

Name: Phantom Object - Exquisite Fountain Pen

Elements: [Stationery], [Unlimited], [Durable], [Efficient], [Supernatural], [Comfortable], [Precious]

Description: A high-end fountain pen of considerable value, understated yet luxurious, perfectly fitting the finger. Simply holding it in one's hand brings joy, and when used for writing, it greatly enhances the fluency and speed of writing. However, this pen seems to have been used by one of its former owners in some special ritual, thus acquiring a peculiar power. It possesses an inexhaustible supply of ink and can even improve the accuracy of divination.

Note: While it's generally not recommended to use this pen for Ouija board games, well, what can you do when you're a spirit?

"Good heavens? How come I never noticed that your Golden Finger was so dramatic?" Feng Xue took out all her other Phantom Object one by one and looked at them again, but found no changes. In the end, she could only attribute it to the mutual influence between the Phantom Object and the power.

For example, if you acquire abilities like "faster shooting from seven paces away, and both accurate and fast shooting within seven paces," then the Double-barreled Hunting Rifle that was previously countered by the pressure point master doesn't seem unusable after all.

Having figured out the root of the problem, Feng Xue sighed, activated his Hermit Authority, and hid all his Supernatural Tale Entry. Only after seeing that the note for the [expensive fountain pen] had been restored to "If I were you, I would never use this pen to play with the Ouija board!" did he begin the Spirit Summoning Ritual again.

"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you wish to continue our bond, please draw a circle on the paper."

As she finished speaking, the pen hanging in Feng Xue's hand trembled slightly, but it remained firmly in Feng Xue grip, unable to move an inch.

Feeling the pressure of the pen gradually increase at his fingertips, Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly. He was actually quite curious whether he would anger the pen spirit if he didn't let go, but considering that now was not the time to play around, he loosened his grip and let the pen slowly draw a circle on the white paper.

Feng Xue looked at the trembling circle, seemingly drawn in a state of extreme fatigue, gave a flippant whistle, and continued:

"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, I want to know the location of my stolen [beep--] fluid..."

"???"

The fountain pen, which had initially appeared to be formed by trembling hands, was no longer used to feign injury; instead, three question marks were drawn directly on the paper, making Feng Xue quite embarrassed. However, since he had already asked, he simply replied:

"Just tell me if you know or not."

"..."

The pen quickly made six dots on the white paper, then stopped. Seeing this, Feng Xue rolled her eyes and said rather rudely:

"Tsk, so useless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt his expensive fountain pen twitch violently twice, but he still showed no intention of writing. Feng Xue knew that he was really helpless, so she blew out the White Candle on the table in one breath, extinguished the three Incense Stick, capped the pen, and put it in her coat pocket.

Undoubtedly, Feng Xue's act of summoning the spirit through a Ouija board but not sending it away was a taboo, but that was precisely Feng Xue's purpose.

According to the bartender, if one can enter a state of being possessed by a ghost and open the door, one can enter a world with a supernatural curse. The method to be possessed by a ghost is to perform a spirit possession ritual in a room inside the Tower of Babel, but without ending it through proper channels.

Of course, this doesn't actually apply to the Tower of Babel, but if you're outside the Tower of Babel, it means you're not in Forbidden Weapons area, and being haunted by ghosts could be extremely dangerous.

After all, not everyone is like Feng Xue, with a Ghost Catcher Master to Weird Tale on. Well, besides that, he is also the ruler of the Three Realms and the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court.

However, before transmigrating, he had to maintain his mortal state, otherwise who knows if he would scare away the Ouija board spirit that was bothering him.

However, rather than considering the Ouija board, what Feng Xue needs to do now is to take out that set of ritual implements again.

His experiences in the world of Investiture of the Gods made him realize that inheriting a fortune is always easier than building one's own wealth.

The only thing to be careful about is not inheriting the debts as well.

The candles were lit again, and wisps of smoke rose, filling Feng Xue's mansion with smoke once more. He then mixed a bottle of Lucky Milk and gulped it down.

"Next, let I Think what kind of world I can go to!"
