After chatting with Gu Yuxi for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to take over the manor, since it was a magical artifact even more powerful than the Blood Drinking Sword.
If I could take over this manor, I could simply release it wherever I wanted to go. While others camped out in the wilderness, I could sleep in the manor – how comfortable that would be!
"Sister Gu, wait a moment, let me take over this manor first," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Gu Yuxi.
Gu Yuxi was still confused and asked, "Why are you taking over the manor?"
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Gu Yuxi and said, "Don't you know that this manor is a magical artifact? Within this manor, the man in black robes can disregard the rules of the Crimson Purgatory."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuxi nodded, then looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Liu Xiaoyuan, how could you ignore the rules of the Crimson Purgatory? What is your cultivation level?"
Upon hearing Gu Yuxi's question, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Sister Gu, I'll tell you about that later. Right now, I need to take over this manor."
Subsequently, Liu Xiaoyuan began to use his supernatural powers to take over the manor, but he was unable to do so because he didn't know the key to it.
Finally, having no other choice, Liu Xiaoyuan had to seek help from the system. The system told Liu Xiaoyuan that this was a Dao artifact, and although it was a low-level Dao artifact, it still had an artifact spirit.
To subdue this magical artifact, one must first subdue its spirit. This is the most basic condition. Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan must subdue the spirit of this manor; otherwise, he can forget about taking over the manor.
"Young man, with your current abilities, it will be very difficult for you to acquire this magical artifact," the system's voice suddenly rang out.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "System, do you have any way to subdue the spirit of this manor?"
The system said, "Young man, how about borrowing another powerful person from me? That way, we can subdue this spirit in no time."
Holy crap! This is outrageous! I just borrowed one character, and if I borrow another one, I don't know when I'll be able to pay off the debt.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan would never borrow any more characters, even if it meant death. He would rather give up the manor. So what if it was a low-level Dao artifact? He just didn't want it.
"I don't want the handsome system, thank you." Liu Xiaoyuan directly rejected the system's offer.
The system said, "Young man, there is actually another way for you, a novice in the Golden Core stage, to subdue the spirit of this magic weapon."
Just when you think you've reached a dead end, a new path opens up before you do. Liu Xiaoyuan never expected the system to have another way to subdue the spirit.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately became interested and asked, "Tell me quickly, what kind of method is it? You cool system, tell me quickly!"
The system said, "Young man, you're too impatient. Don't be so hasty. Haste makes waste."
Damn it, what do you mean by "haste makes waste"? Of course I want to know a good method as soon as possible, and I want to take over this manor as quickly as possible. That's called efficiency, not being impatient.
The system continued, "Actually, the method is very simple. Young man, just use the method I taught you last time to subdue the Immortal Flute and subdue the spirit of the artifact directly."
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately remembered the method the system had taught him last time and used it to find the location of the manor's spirit. The manor's spirit was sleeping in a hazy environment, just like a child. When it saw Liu Xiaoyuan enter, it immediately opened its eyes and stood up.
Looking at the spirit, Liu Xiaoyuan realized it was just like a three-year-old child, and he immediately became careless.
Damn it, can't a grown man like me handle a little kid? I can handle a little kid with one hand.
"Hey, little guy, come with me obediently, and I'll treat you to a lollipop, okay?" Liu Xiaoyuan said to the spirit.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the spirit glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then ignored him and lay down on the ground to continue sleeping.
Seeing the spirit so arrogant and disregarding him, an adult, Liu Xiaoyuan became furious and grabbed at it.
However, at that moment, a powerful pressure swept directly towards Liu Xiaoyuan, and Liu Xiaoyuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But by then, it was too late. Liu Xiaoyuan tried to dodge, but the immense pressure sent him flying.
Liu Xiaoyuan felt as if his internal organs had been shattered; the pain was so intense that he wanted to die.
"That was close!" After Liu Xiaoyuan steadied himself, although he still felt waves of pain in his stomach, it was not as severe as before.
Carelessness has led to the loss of Jingzhou. Liu Xiaoyuan never expected this artifact spirit to be so powerful; the pressure it casually unleashed was so terrifying.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "Sigh! You really can't underestimate kids these days!"
After calming himself down, Liu Xiaoyuan began to use the supernatural power that the system had taught him. He had to use this method to deal with the artifact spirit, otherwise he would suffer losses.
Following the method taught by the system, Liu Xiaoyuan launched an attack directly on the artifact spirit. This time, the artifact spirit did not release its oppressive aura to deal with Liu Xiaoyuan, which relieved Liu Xiaoyuan.
His cultivation level at the Golden Core stage was still too low; he was utterly powerless against the pressure from the artifact spirit.
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly approached the artifact spirit, who thought Liu Xiaoyuan was playing with him and actually started playing with him without making a move.
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately felt that the great thing was about to be accomplished!
"Can I take you to get some lollipops?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a grin, looking like a bad uncle taking a little girl to see goldfish.
The spirit actually nodded. Although he didn't know what a lollipop was, he seemed quite interested.
"Then you have to listen to me obediently from now on, okay?" Liu Xiaoyuan further coaxed.
The spirit of the artifact nodded without hesitation!
What the heck! Where did your integrity go? I just asked you if you wanted some candy, and you attacked me. Now I'm asking you if you want some candy, and you immediately want to be my lackey.
"Then could you first shrink this manor down to your original size?" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the spirit immediately did as he instructed, shrinking the manor into a small wooden house resembling a child's toy.
When the manor shrank, Liu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, only then realizing that Gu Yuxi and the others were still inside.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked directly, "Spirit, I still have many people inside. Will they be alright?"
The spirit said directly, "Don't worry, they'll be fine. But when are you going to give me a lollipop? I want one right now!"
