Spirit iron obtained! Also… Cauldron Ring?

That night, Mo clan prepared a banquet, the four clan heads took turns toasting and entertained young lord Ning Fan.

If before there were people unconvinced by Ning Fan, right now, there was nothing they rejected about him.

At the dining table, Ning Fan smiled amiably and chatted casually with those around him, making the eyes of Wu Lan and Mo Rushui shine brightly, but Ye Huan and Fang Nuo, these two old men, were extremely dissatisfied with Ning Fan.

Ning Fan couldn´t hold his liquor at all! He was already tipsy after two glasses. An evil cultivator that can´t hold alcohol was far too shameful!

Of course, nobody is perfect...

As the moonlight dissipated from the sky and the banquet dispersed, the three clan heads left one after another. Inside the grand hall, there was only Mo Rushui who was slowly sipping on a glass of wine, and an unconscious Ning Fan sprawled out on the table.

Mo Rushui slightly pursed her red lips and suddenly smiled, “All the people have left, has the dignified young lord of Seven Apricot decided to stay the night in the house of this subordinate while pretending to be drunk? ”

As Mo Rushui’s words spilled out, the originally drunk Ning Fan´s eyes flashed brightly. With a wave of magical energy, he expulsed the alcohol from his body, laughing, “I have a strong tolerance to alcohol. If I didn’t pretend to be drunk, I’m afraid it would have taken forever to discuss business. Goddess Mo, can you now tell me about the matter of the Soul Burning spirit iron?”

“Young Lord surely wants that Soul Burning spirit iron?”

“It´s not like I must have it, I only want to augment the spirit of my treasure. If it’s too troublesome for you, it´s fine to use a different divine power.”

Ning Fan opened his mouth and starlight flew out, transforming into a long sword that was translucent and sparkled like water in his hands. This was of course Separation Slayer, which was then handed to Mo Rushui.

“Goddess Mo, would you please assess this sword and tell me what kind of divine power is most appropriate to augment its spirit? I don´t know anything about Spirit Augmentation”

Mo Rushui took Separation Slayer. At first she didn´t mind, after all she was a Spirit Augmentation Master of the Dan Treasure rank, even refining Gold rank spirit equipment wouldn’t be difficult. But with just a glance, she noticed this sword was just that of a low inferior rank.

Internally, she felt slightly displeased. If the grand ‘Soul Burning’ spirit iron were attached to an inferior treasure, wouldn´t it be like dragging the name of ‘Soul Burning’ through the mud?

But after she took the sword, Mo Rushui became startled. The sword was very light! It was not that the sword was weightless, but rather when held, it felt as though she had become one with the sword, like it was an extension of her arm and she naturally couldn’t feel its weight.

“‘One with the sword’...the one who refined this sword is an expert far above me...”

She sincerely praised the sword and dared not look down on Separation Slayer again, then started to examine it in every detail.

As bright as the stars, as cold as autumn rain, as thin as a cicada´s wings, as imposing as a flying dragon...this sword was clearly a low inferior rank weapon, but the feeling it gave to Mo Rushui cannot even be described by the word ‘shock’.

She sometimes frowned, other times opened her mouth, at times appeared joyous, and at other times puzzled or perplexed, or even surprised... as if she were using all of the expressions she’d ever learned throughout her life, and it was all shown on that charming face.

Her beautiful eyes were fixated on the sword, that eye catching starlight made her feel increasingly shocked.

“This is, this is...can I ask Young Lord, if you know the origin of this sword?”

“This sword was refined by me, how could I not know of its origin...” Ning Fan grabbed his chopsticks and casually ate the leftovers on the table without the slightest disgust.

He was poor all his life. In the most difficult of times he even fought with pigs and dogs for food, why would he care about it being leftovers.

“What... this sword was refined by the Young Lord?!” Mo Rushui´s expression changed abruptly into one of astonishment, she would have never guessed that the refining master she admired was the Young Lord in front of her.

“Young Lord, did you know that inside this sword, there´s a fragment of Immemorial Star...”

“I naturally know, being master´s disciple, I have the Immemorial Evil Veins so I can handle this ‘immemorial divine weapon’!”

“So Young Lord knows. It seems that yesterday´s manifestation of ‘stars appearing in daytime’ was triggered by Young Lord… An immemorial divine weapon, I never thought that I would have the fortune to see one in this life… Young Lord, do you really want to augment the spirit of this sword?! ”

Mo Rushui looked a little eager. For a Spirit Augmentation Master, being able to augment the spirit of an immemorial divine weapon was a tremendous honor!

“That’s correct. As for what kind of divine power to attach, I will leave the decision to Goddess Mo.” Ning Fan had a small smile on his face. Letting Mo Rushui decide was considered a form of respect toward Spirit Augmentation Masters.

“An… immemorial divine weapon, a peerless sword that can advance in ranks… I am extremely willing and sincerely wish to attach the ‘Soul Burning’ divine power for Young Lord. The Soul Burning divine power is a ‘void’ rank divine power that only Void Fragmentation old monsters are qualified to use for spirit augmentation. If it is used in this sword, it definitely won’t be wasted… With my level being at the ‘Dan Treasure’ rank of Spirit Augmentation, I can only attach one divine power, and if I were to attach another divine power and not ‘Soul Burning’ then it would be a waste...”

Mo Rushui mumbled to herself, unable to decide. Ning Fan listened attentively, unsure of the situation. His knowledge of Spirit Augmentation was severely lacking.

Listening to Mo Rushui´s words, it seemed as though it was possible for one treasure to utilize several divine powers, but with her level she could only attach one.

According to Mo Rushui, to augment the spirit of a treasure, ‘spirit iron’ was needed. As for what spirit iron was, Ning Fan didn´t know, but that did not hinder him from understanding. It must be some kind of special immortal mineral that was essential in Spirit Augmentation.
