We find a significant anticorrelation between the hard X‐ray photon index Γ and the Eddington ratio   L  bol / L  Edd   for a sample of low‐ionization nuclear emission‐line regions and local Seyfert galaxies, compiled from literature with  Chandra  or  XMM–Newton  observations. This result is in contrast with the positive correlation found in luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN), while it is similar to that of X‐ray binaries (XRBs) in the low/hard state. Our result is qualitatively consistent with the spectra produced from advection‐dominated accretion flows (ADAFs). It implies that the X‐ray emission of low‐luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) may originate from the Comptonization process in ADAF, and the accretion process in LLAGN may be similar to that of XRBs in the low/hard state, which is different from that in luminous AGN.
