"This..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao'e was full of surprise.
Zhen Fu'er also showed a doubtful expression, clearly not believing what the Artifact Spirit was saying.
"What kind of technique can be so miraculous, that as soon as someone steps into your formation, you can directly deduce information related to them?"
Luo Yu remained silent because the two women had said what he had been about to say, glaring fiercely at the Artifact Spirit.
The Artifact Spirit was so frightened that it started to whimper.
"What Tong Tong has said is absolutely true."
"I wouldn't dare to lie in the slightest."
Luo Yu said, "You have three counts of time to think of a way to prove to me that everything you've said is true. Otherwise... ha."
He didn't regard the other party as a harmless child. Heaven knows how many years this thing had lived, ultimately donning the appearance of a child to deceive people's sympathy.
The Artifact Spirit was struggling visibly.
"Three..."
"Two."
As Luo Yu's countdown continued, the Artifact Spirit hurriedly shouted:
"I have a way, I have a way to prove it!"
Luo Yu stopped counting and looked at it, waiting for it to speak.
Seeing that it couldn't escape, the Artifact Spirit said, "I can acknowledge a great being as my master, so everything will be under your control. Then you'll believe what I've said."
"Didn't you have a master before? Just like that, you would betray them?" Luo Yu said.
The Artifact Spirit shook its head repeatedly.
"Tong Tong no longer remembers what its past masters were like and can't sense them at all. Now, I'm an artifact with no master."
Luo Yu thought to himself that nowadays, not to mention humans, even Artifact Spirits would do anything to survive when wrapped in the guise of a child.
"How do you acknowledge a master?" Luo Yu asked.
"You just need to drip blood on my true form, and that will be sufficient to acknowledge me. Then you will be able to control everything about me," Tong Tong said earnestly and sincerely.
"You're not thinking of using my blood to perform some special technique, are you?" Luo Yu pinched his chin, not letting his head be clouded by the Artifact Spirit's words, and considered the matter cautiously.
"Luo Gongzi, if you wish to claim this treasure, I do have a technique," Zhen Fu'er said from the side.
"What kind of technique?" Luo Yu's eyes brightened as he asked.
"Although much of my memory is lost, I still remember some practices for Qi Refiners, including one related to forming pacts with Magical Treasures, called the Spirit Seal Blood Pact."
"Blood Pact?" Luo Yu was puzzled.
Zhen Fu'er said, "It involves condensing one's blood essence into a Spirit Seal and imprinting it onto the magical artifact to sign a pact with it."
"If the master dies, then the magical artifact will perish as well."
"However, if the artifact is damaged, the master will remain unharmed."
"There is such a domineering technique in the world?" Luo Yu was shocked. This was not just a magical treasure pact, it was practically a slave pact, even more terrifying than a slave pact.
Tong Tong, kneeling on the Bagua Plate, looked up with its innocent large eyes, having thought that Zhen Fu'er, with her generous nature, would sympathize with its situation.
But then...
Such harsh terms when she spoke?
The Artifact Spirit was mentally collapsing and wanted to cry out loud. These two women had clearly shown that they were no good people.
Zhen Fu'er said, "During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Qi Refiners were adept at controlling magical treasures. If they did not possess some techniques, that would have been even stranger."
"But this Spirit Seal Blood Pact... "
"Is there a problem? You can speak freely," Luo Yu asked.
"This Spirit Seal Blood Pact is complex and difficult to learn," she said.
Seeing Zhen Fu'er frown, Luo Yu smiled and said, "Hahaha, no problem. Miss Zhen, you can demonstrate it to me from a distance."
"Sister Zhen, you forgot, Brother Luo is super quick at imitation," Bai Xiao'e chipped in from the side, revealing a smile as well.
"That was careless of me."
Without holding back, Zhen Fu'er's slender jade-like fingers flew swiftly, forming intricate hand seals in the air that dazzled onlookers.
"Swish, swish!"
A character resembling an ancient seal took shape in the air.
Luo Yu watched Zhen Fu'er's hand movements and the route of Spiritual Power within her body closely. He even allocated a fraction of his attention to keep an eye on the Artifact Spirit, preventing it from causing trouble in secret.
"Bang—"
Zhen Fu'er's formed seal exploded, but she was unfazed and said:
"Luo Gongzi, this is the complete procedure. You just need to infuse your blood essence into the Spirit Seal and imprint it onto the Bagua Bronze Mirror. "
"However, if this Artifact Spirit intends to resist, the Spirit Seal will fail."
Luo Yu nodded and turned to look at the Artifact Spirit, which was shivering as if truly an innocent child.
"You will agree, right?"
The Artifact Spirit opened its round, purple grape-like eyes, and with a sobbing tone said, "Do I have a choice?"
Luo Yu shook his head.
Recalling all of Zhen Fu'er's recent actions, his hands also began to form seals, while the Spiritual Power within his body followed the corresponding rhythm and paths.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
A Spirit Seal slowly took shape in the air.
Bai Xiao'e and Zhen Fu'er watched, astounded, especially Zhen Fu'er, who felt it most intensely, since she was the one being imitated.
She was certain that Luo Yu had not previously possessed such a skill, but after only watching her once, he learned this extremely complicated sealing method?
It was a bit too terrifying, even more so than the eerie environment surrounding them.
"That's not right!"
Zhen Fu'er shook her head in disbelief, her Beautiful Eyes filled with shock:
"It's not just about learning—that technique is executed even more perfectly and smoothly than when I do it."
"Is this really your first time using the Spirit Seal Blood Pact?"
Bai Xiao'e sighed: "Sister Zhen, haven't you got used to it yet? This fellow managed to summon the Most Pure Heaven's Honored One, what can't he do?"
"My body is already numb from shock."
The Artifact Spirit's expression was even more nervous. Although it did not understand what the Spirit Seal Blood Pact was, it was not deaf and had heard Zhen Fu'er's description of the Blood Pact.
