The Temple Head moved quickly, personally directing his disciples to pry off the two large iron pots from the dining hall first, setting up two simple earthen stoves on the open ground outside the temple.
Yingbao then drew a circle, asking the Temple Head to enclose the area around the large iron pots with mats and create a ritual site. She explained that her master would perform a ritual to summon the immortals, which ordinary people were not allowed to witness.
The Temple Head complied with her request. He quickly enclosed the area and even had a sacrificial altar brought in.
Yingbao was the first to enter the ritual site, and in an instant, she took out a huge gourd from her cavern.
The interior of the gourd had been hollowed out, so it wasn't heavy. A nine and a half year old like her could lift it with no problem.
When Master and Jiang Sanlang's group stepped into the ritual site enclosed by mats, there was a brief moment of stillness.
