I wasn't finished speaking. These strange beings can't just be grabbed randomly; they must have advanced in rank among humans.
Xia Tianqiong gradually frowned. The favor the Ghost King asked him to do was indeed no simple matter.
"They must have advanced in rank in the human realm, which requires a large-scale screening, so the number of candidates will definitely not be large. The key question is, what method can we use to determine whether they have advanced? Are we going to ask them one by one?"
The scholar smiled and explained, "We can create special artifacts that will glow as a warning if any strange creature that has advanced in rank in the human world gets close."
"You've thought of everything very thoroughly."
Xia Tianqiong nodded, then fell into deep thought, considering whether he could do it.
“The evil spirits and lesser-known monsters are easy to deal with. Although there are many of them, we can always catch them if we spend some time. But the fierce monsters and the generals are not so easy to handle.”
These two types of anomalies are few in number among humans, and their advancement process is very lengthy, so it's not guaranteed that one will be able to advance while in the human realm.
"The ones you need to worry about the least are Li Gui and Gui Jiang."
The Three-Eyed Ghost King took over the conversation and explained to him, "Among the guests at the Wujian Restaurant, we have already marked some usable fierce ghosts and ghost generals. We will tell you their locations when the time comes, and you can just grab them."
Xia Tianqiong suddenly turned her head to look over, guessing what had happened.
"So your restaurant is a den of thieves! All the strange creatures you've caught before were customers here, right?"
The Three-Eyed Demon King chuckled awkwardly, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't take action outside, but it's fine here. As long as we find a suitable target, we'll capture them quietly."
"Then just keep using this method to catch them, why did you ask me for help?"
"This method is too slow. We can only wait for the strange to come to us, but there's not enough time. We must complete the plan as soon as possible."
"What time is not enough? What is the plan?"
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The Three-Eyed Demon King quickly picked up his wine bowl and drank. He had spoken too quickly and accidentally said something he shouldn't have.
"It's not right for you to ask me for help without telling me why!"
The scholar closed his folding fan and said with a faint smile, "Young brother, there are some things we cannot say. I hope you can understand."
But we won't let you help for nothing. You can tell us what you need or what benefits you want.
Xia Tianqiong sat there and also picked up his wine bowl to drink.
He was considering whether to help, and if so, what benefits he should ask for.
