Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1203 590: Master of the House! (This Chapter is High-Energy)

"Spring arrives, the willow branches grow long; the eldest girl wistfully sends love to her man; high pillow worry-free dreams; another room for the man."

Li Banfeng woke up in the embrace of the phonograph and sat up immediately.

He didn't feel any weakness after ascending, and even the fatigue was very limited.

"Wife, is this because of the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill?"

"Husband, the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill is also known as Household Authority. When you return home, husband is the master, and all the items in the house, including your own body, are at your disposal. Of course, how much control you have depends on your cultivation level and whether your technique is proficient."

Li Banfeng carefully comprehended the technique's essentials: "I lead my own body, quickly restore?"

"That's the idea. Husband just ascended, and the technique is newly learned, you're not proficient yet, otherwise you could recover faster."

"What about the gloves? Can I heal them now?"

"That's hard to say," the phonograph took out the gloves, "Curse removal is one of the most difficult methods, husband lacks experience in curse removal, this time you'll have to work hard."

Watching the gloves lying motionless on the table, Li Banfeng focused his mind and shouted at the gloves: "Remove the curse, remove the curse..."

The phonograph said, "Beloved husband, that's not the way. You must first find the root of the curse,

The core principle of a curse lies in the hidden root laid during the curse casting. The methods of embedding the root are myriad; it could be a phrase, a cup of tea, a powerful Curse Cultivator smiling at someone can plant a root.

The cursed person has the root left in their body, causing anomalies.

When the curse activates, the afflicted suffers, the root grows within them, undergoing changes. These changes are the key to lifting the curse."

Li Banfeng asked, "What changes occurred in the gloves?"

"You'll have to find that out yourself, husband."

"How to find?"

"Look with your eyes!"

Li Banfeng was startled: "Directly with the eyes?"

The phonograph said, "Outside this house, not to mention seeing, even Peeping Cultivation activating the technique might not reveal it.

But within this house, husband, as the master, just watch closely, you'll surely find anomalies."

Li Banfeng picked up the gloves and scrutinized them for a long time, unable to spot any anomalies.

His wife said, "Husband, do not rush, calm down and look, think of what the gloves looked like before,

The changes might be a bump, a knot, a tear, a frayed thread; curses are known for their secrecy. Finding the source is no easy task, husband must spend more effort."

Li Banfeng stared at the gloves for over an hour, his eyes weary, and still saw no anomalies.

His wife urged beside him, "Husband, the technique is newly learned, truly cannot be rushed. It's a pity Little Servant only knows the essentials, but can't perform the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill, can't help husband with this matter."

Li Banfeng was startled: "Wife, you can't use this technique?"

"Husband, Little Servant isn't a Home Cultivation, I'm your House Spirit. I know the technique because I have established a contract with the house, borrowing indescribable power from the contract, learned these essentials.

Some techniques, Little Servant can show a bit in front of husband, others can't be performed by Little Servant at all, like this High Pillow Worry-Free Skill, it's a master-only technique, we only have one master here."

Only one master in our home!

Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng puffed out his chest.

He continued to observe the gloves, another hour passed, still finding nothing, Li Banfeng was sweating, then the projector came to the table and cast a projection.

"Seventh Guide, this is an image Brother Tao left before. Brother Tao doesn't like taking photos or recording, he always had reservations about me. We only have two usable photos currently."

"Having this good stuff, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

Two photos, one front view, one back view.

The projector was modest; these two photos were sufficient.

Li Banfeng held the gloves and compared them with the photos for a long time, finally pinpointing the issue.

The back of the gloves sported a new black spot.

This black spot was originally very obvious, but coincidentally appeared on another black spot.

The gloves were naturally full of black spots, these two nearly overlapped, Li Banfeng couldn't differentiate them, only upon comparing with the previous photos did he notice the original black spot's outline had changed.

"Wife, I found the root of the curse, what's next?"

"Husband can do whatever you wish, just be decisive, at home everything must heed husband's will!"

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, fetched a basin of clean water, put the gloves in, and rubbed with his hands.

After some rubbing, there was no visible change on the gloves, Li Banfeng looked solemn, the phonograph comforted him, while the other magical treasures offered suggestions.

The Wine Gourd said, "Curse Cultivators' roots are unusual in origin, little brother, washing directly with water seems unfit."

The Old Teapot said, "I can't see the root, but since it's a root, surely it has to be uprooted. How can water clean it thoroughly?"

The Tang Sword stepped forward: "Master, show me where the root is, I'll pick it out with the tip of my sword."

The Clock Pendulum stopped the Tang Sword: "You swing that sword, the gloves might not survive. Let me handle it, I'm better at needlework."

The Judge's Pen said, "I, I..."

Li Banfeng thought the Judge's Pen also intended to do needlework and shook his head: "This isn't a matter of needlework, this black spot isn't small, I can't pick it all out with a needle, it would break too many threads."
