"The Nether Fire Furnace is now in the hands of fellow Daoist. If I don't want to lose my life, I have no choice but to obey." Huo Lingzi had made overtures to Shen Luo many times, but Shen Luo had not responded. Now that he finally discussed the ownership with him, he was secretly delighted, but showed a helpless look on his face.
"With your status, knowledge, and ability, if you want to help me, I will naturally be happy to accept you. But you used to follow Lord Fu, and Lord Fu was killed by me. If you want me to accept you, Fellow Daoist Huo Lingzi, I need to strengthen the trust between you and me. I believe Fellow Daoist Huo Lingzi can understand, right?" Shen Luo said.
"This... What do you want to do?" Huo Lingzi's expression froze.
"I know a contract restriction technique that can be imprinted in the soul body to restrict the other party's words, deeds and behavior. As long as the contract is not violated, the power of the contract will not have any effect on the other party." Shen Luo said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you only need to sacrifice this Nether Fire Furnace, and you will naturally be able to completely control it. There is no need to place any contractual restrictions." Huo Lingzi said with a frown.
"We'll talk about the matter of refining the Nether Fire Furnace later. Now we're talking about the restrictions of the contract. Fellow Daoist, just tell me whether you agree or not." Shen Luo said with a smile, but his smile was a little cold.
Huo Lingzi stammered a few times, but finally nodded dejectedly.
"Okay, fellow Daoist, you really understand things." Shen Luo laughed, spurted out a stream of blood from his mouth, and made hand gestures to cast a spell.
The essence and blood changed rapidly, turning into a blood-colored spell formed by countless tiny runes. There were also a few lines of small words floating around the blood spell, which were the contents of the contract. They stated that no actions that might harm Shen Luo could be taken, and Shen Luo's information could not be disclosed to anyone else.
Huo Lingzi glanced at it and nodded.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luo made a gesture and pointed out the blood-colored talisman, which turned into a ray of light and disappeared into Huo Lingzi's head in a flash.
A layer of blood light appeared on Huo Lingzi's head, with twelve blood-red lightning bolts wrapped around it. It flashed quickly three times before disappearing.
"Okay." Shen Luo's expression relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
The contract restriction technique just performed was learned from the Tianji Scroll, called the "Blood Sacrifice". It is far more powerful than some of the contract techniques recorded in the Secret Book of Body Refining. Even if it is a True Immortal-level existence, it can control the other party's words and deeds, not to mention that Huo Lingzi is just a weapon spirit.
Huo Lingzi lowered his head dejectedly.
"Fellow Daoist Huo Lingzi, you follow Lord Fu, and you should know a lot about this person. Can you tell me about him?" With the Blood Oath Sacrifice as a restraint, Shen Luo felt much more at ease about Huo Lingzi and asked.
"I had been staying in the Treasure Refining Hall of Guangcheng Immortal Palace and had no connection with Lord Fu. It was only when the Immortal Palace fell into the Zhurong Basin more than a hundred years ago that Lord Fu was defeated in the battle for control of the Immortal Palace by the Super Red Flame Beast and escaped. Before leaving, he took the Nether Fire Refining Furnace with him. That's when I had contact with Lord Fu." Huo Lingzi replied weakly.
"So that's how it is. Lord Fu has been plotting to take back Guangcheng Immortal Palace all these years?" Shen Luo nodded slightly and continued to ask.
The Blood Oath Sacrifice restriction has a lie detection capability, and he can sense that Huo Lingzi is not lying.
"That's right. Lord Fu does have some abilities, but unfortunately he has an overly sinister personality and only trusts people who are under his control. He deserves to die in the Guangcheng Immortal Mansion." Huo Lingzi seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Lord Fu and said with a sneer.
