Zhen Haoren led the two through the back courtyard and into a side chamber on the left.
In the center of the chamber stood a deity enshrined under a red cloth, which concealed its identity from the naked eye.
However, Qin Feng possessed the Heaven's Gaze and could see through the red cloth.
The statue depicted a deity with a human body and a snake's head.
According to the Xuanhuang Medical Classic, this deity was known as the Footless God Lord.
Legend had it that the Footless God Lord was originally a snake that, by a stroke of fate, cultivated into an immortal, thus acquiring a human body, though its head remained that of a snake.
Zhen Haoren began to chant incantations before the Footless God Lord, which sounded like gibberish to Xue Xiaochan. However, Qin Feng understood every word.
These were verses from the Spirit Snake Scripture, a sacred tome of the Spirit Sect.
