The Substitute Messenger Talisman wasn't too difficult.
Although a first-tier talisman's ability to "summon the gods" was very limited, it was fortunate that Liu Qing was strong enough and close enough to Jiang Cheng, so the eventual effect should still be considerable.
The biggest problem with the Substitute Messenger Talisman was how to get Liu Qing's consent to allow Jiang Cheng to use a portion of her strength.
Most importantly, the reason for Jiang Cheng's summoning must not reveal Liu Qing's identity as a powerful demon of the Demon Race.
After all, Liu Qing was an enchantress and would likely not be fooled by any trivial deception, given her strength.
Jiang Cheng, having thought through his wording in advance, said, "Liu Qing, come here."
A certain snake reluctantly left her chaise longue, walked inside, and sat down next to Jiang Cheng.
"Take a look at this." Jiang Cheng passed the Substitute Messenger Talisman to Liu Qing.
