I came up with several methods. One was to go outside, take a walk, and get some sun.
That was the fastest way to restore my vitality, but to be safe, I didn't plan on leaving the shop.
The second method was the one Master had used to save me back then: the Substitute-Life Ritual.
For now, it was also the most practical method. It just meant sacrificing a few Chicken Bros.
Otherwise, in my current state, I definitely wouldn't last until the seventh day. I'd lose my life early.
And I had already mastered the basic application of the Yellow Chicken Substitute Spell. Though I had never used it in actual combat, performing this kind of basic talisman technique wasn't difficult for me now.
Of course, I could also choose to ask Mao Jing and the others for help.
Daoist Qingshan was also in Mountain City. They might have other methods.
But if I did that, I'd drag them into this incident. What if I was fine afterward, but some taboo appeared and implicated them instead?
Otherwise, why had Master left the shop carrying Grandmaster's spirit tablet?
So I believed I still had to bear this matter and handle it myself.
With that in mind, I immediately found an errand runner and had him buy me a Big Yellow Rooster. The livelier it was, the better.
There wasn't much time left, so I directly gave him four hundred yuan for the errand and told him to hurry. It had to be delivered before seven.
After arranging the errand runner, I began drawing talismans and writing incantations.
I drew a yellow-paper talisman bearing the words "substitute life."
I wrote down my birth date and eight characters, clipped off some fingernails and hair, then dripped a drop of blood onto them.
