The best moment for summoning souls is when the moon is full, at the first quarter of the early morning. Today happened to be such a fortuitous time, the fifteenth with a full moon, with all conditions favorable, so Xiao Yao, of course, did not want to delay any further and instructed Gouzi to purchase white wax candles.
Once everything was nearly ready, as soon as the first quarter of the early morning came, Xiao Yao began shaking the Golden Copper Bell, chanting sternly, "Soul, return, soul, return, soul, return!"
No sooner had the third chant finished than a fierce wind swept through the room. In the corner, the eighty-one white wax candles, and the forty-nine beside Xiao Pingan, were about to be snuffed out in an instant when Xiao Yao exerted all her Inner Strength to resist the gusts, ensuring that not one of the 130 candles in the room went out.
