Ren Qing did not wait for Huang Ziwang to sober up. This jar of Drunk Life Dream Death would probably not be finished until the Ghost Market closed; who had the leisure for that?
He immediately returned to the Fire Refining Hall, intending to advance to a Spinal Bone User.
However, Ren Qing first made a trip to the Immortal Buddha Shrine and tucked the prepared note beneath the Lotus Throne where Song Zongwu recited his morning prayers.
Yet the moment he reached into the gap, he sensed something was wrong. The note he had placed there before was still completely untouched.
The note contained the anomaly he had discovered when he encountered the Earth God in the Secret Pavilion.
This showed that Song Zongwu had not come to the Immortal Buddha Shrine at all these past few days.
Ren Qing simply left both notes in the gap beneath the Lotus Throne, then slipped past the patrolling constables and returned to the Fire Refining Hall by the same route.
He was not worried because of this. The Mud Gang incident had already alerted the Jailer Hall; the Earth God was surely wanted now as well.
Having witnessed the Great Dream True Person's might, he did not think the Earth God could drag out a miserable existence for much longer.
Perhaps Song Zongwu was handling this matter.

Only three or four hours had passed
