Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1102 567: Flawless

After communicating with the vase for more than half an hour, Li Banfeng finally pulled his head out of the vase.

Comparing the diameter of the vase's opening with his own head, Li Banfeng really couldn't figure out how his head got in, or how it came out.

He tried to use the Insightful Spirit Sound Technique to communicate with the vase, talked to it for a long time, but received no response.

During the promotion process, Li Banfeng was certain he heard the vase's voice, and judging by the words at the time, the vase's ability to express itself was quite good.

Is it that she is unwilling to speak now, or does Li Banfeng not understand?

Or is there something special about the promotion process?

Setting aside the matter of speaking, Li Banfeng gained some control over this vase: "Wife, can the Family Treasures Self-Counting Technique be used outside the house?"

"It can be used, but it depends on the location. The closer it is to the house, the easier it is to perform the technique. Our house is special, and if you practice diligently, you can perform many techniques."

Li Banfeng carried the vase outside the Portable Residence and gently said while touching its belly: "Let's see if you can fly."

The vase floated with difficulty above the marsh, flying at a height of less than ten centimeters, holding on for more than twenty seconds before landing in the mud.

Li Banfeng picked up the vase and carefully wiped off the mud.

The effect was not ideal, but it wasn't the vase's lack of effort. The Taoist Sect's door, for home cultivation, means there's a significant change in technique intensity.

After returning the vase to the house, Li Banfeng went back to the Flower Fairy Mansion.

Ma Wu was sitting in the main hall, interrogating each woman in the manor, taking those with hidden schemes away for a separate admonition.

Li Banfeng summoned Feng Daiku and asked, "Where is Hua Manchun's Contract Book hidden?"

Feng Daiku asked in surprise, "Is Hua Manchun dead?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I killed him, and now his territory belongs to me."

Feng Daiku was very happy, but she truly did not know where Hua Manchun's Contract Book was hidden.

This is troublesome. Hua Manchun left in a hurry and didn't have time to reveal the location of the Contract Book. Finding it in the vast Flower Fairy Mansion is not an easy task.

Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku searched separately. Feng Daiku, being the local deity of Proper Land and Hua Manchun's neighbor, relied on her experience to find the Contract Book.

Li Banfeng relied on his gloves, moving swiftly and able to ride the wind, he searched Hua Manchun's territory bit by bit.

But today the gloves were not very cooperative, shrinking fearfully after leaving the Portable Residence. Most of the time, they lingered in Li Banfeng's pocket, not daring to poke their head out.

Li Banfeng patted the gloves: "Brother, what's wrong, are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, just feeling anxious. I'm fine at home, but once I go out, all five fingers feel uneasy."

After searching for a whole day, neither Li Banfeng nor Feng Daiku found the Contract Book, but Ma Wu did have some gains.

He brought a woman named Axi. This woman, about twenty-seven or eight years old, was quite good-looking but accidentally picked the wrong soap when serving Hua Manchun to wash his face, angering him and causing her exile from the mansion to the mountains to do heavy labor like chopping wood and fetching water.

Axi recounted a past event to Li Qi and Feng Daiku: "At the start of the year, Miss Feng came to the manor to discuss boundary matters with the manor owner. It seems our manor owner was at a disadvantage and asked Miss Feng to compensate him."

Feng Daiku remembered this incident, spat in anger: "Hua Manchun is so shameless, just thinking about it makes me grit my teeth. He took over eighty li of my land, asking me to buy it back with human energy, and even claimed he was at a loss,

I gave him a lot of human energy, but he only returned half of the territory to me, saying that the remaining half had complications, and refused to give it back to me. How disgusting!"

Ma Wu said to Axi: "Repeat what happened next."

Axi said: "The next day when I went up the mountain to chop wood, I encountered a bear. The bear had a lame leg and wanted to eat me. I ran over a dozen li, the bear was slow, but kept pursuing.

Eventually, I could no longer run and fought with the bear using a firewood knife, but the bear was too strong and knocked the knife away,

My hand was injured, bleeding a lot, my fingers were sticky, and when I bent to pick up the knife, a feather stuck to my hand,

The feather, stained with blood, suddenly caught fire. The fire burned so fiercely, as if to consume my whole body, that I was so frightened I threw the feather away. The bear was scared off too."

Feng Daiku asked: "Was that feather from the fan of your manor owner?"

"It looked familiar, it should have been from his fan. Later, I went up the mountain to see if the feather was still there, but I couldn't find it after a long search."

Feng Daiku said to Li Banfeng: "It's all lined up. I promised to give Hua Manchun human energy, and he said he didn't want it just yet, and wanted to store it in the Land Seal, asking me to bring the human energy the next day,

The next day when I went to find him, I did see his Land Seal, he must have just taken it from the Contract Book."

The sequence of events was very clear. Hua Manchun went up the mountain to take the Land Seal and accidentally lost a feather, which saved Axi's life.

Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku followed Axi up the mountain, found the spot where the feather was discovered, and Feng Daiku examined the surrounding environment to speculate on several potential hidden locations for the Contract Book in the mountain. Li Banfeng, with his gloves, searched through these spots and quickly found the Contract Book's location.

Hua Manchun's Contract Book was hidden under the riverbed of a small river in a mountain stream. Li Banfeng dug up the Contract Book and the Land Seal, then took a look at Hua Manchun's past deeds.
