Hearing Mao Jing say that, I was thrilled.
As long as we found a way, things would be easy.
I did not have a wheel-shaped ritual artifact, but that did not mean I did not know the incantations for such artifacts.
Grandmaster's Notes recorded five or six of them.
I did not need to wield the artifact.
I only needed to activate it.
But I did not possess ghost qi myself. I did not know whether Four Misfortune Qi would work.
"I don't have ghost qi. Does Four Misfortune Qi count?"
Mao Jing shook his head.
"I don't know about that. We can try it late tonight."
I nodded.
"Alright!"
Mao Jing continued.
"Since we're going to make a move against the Golden Spring demon on August twenty-fourth, we can't alert it these next few days.
But we need to place someone there to keep watch. Do you have anyone in mind?"
Mao Jing was right. What if Golden Spring ran off when the time came? Where would I find it?
My original plan had been to bring Black Emperor back with me and have him stand watch and gather intelligence.
Now that Black Emperor could not come, if I were to choose another demon as a lookout...
Only one came to mind.
White Stone Funeral Home; Grey Master.
I was already quite familiar with Grey Master. He was a bit mercenary, but as long as the price was high enough, there would be no problem getting him to help keep watch.
Most importantly, he was a rat demon.
He could communicate with rat colonies, and rats were everywhere.
In some respects, having Grey Master help felt even more advantageous than having Black Emperor do it.
Besides, according to the information I had received before, I had helped Snake Mother.
