That ‘Soul Burning’ spirit iron was actually called a ‘void’ rank spirit iron, one could imagine how precious it was.

Ning Fan had the memories of an immortal emperor so he had great perception. He could tell that Mo Rushui was a little troubled. It seemed that she had some difficulties and could not attach the ‘Soul Burning’ divine power to Separation Slayer.

“Goddess Mo, if there are difficulties, it´s fine if you don´t attach the ‘Soul Burning’ divine power.” Ning Fan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself, he didn’t actually value the spirit augmentation technique very much, but attaching only one divine power was still better than nothing.

“Difficulties, there are definitely a few… First, that Soul Burning spirit iron belongs to City Lord Han. I must ask you one thing. Young Lord, have you asked yourself if you possess the qualifications to use it?”

“Well, I believe I should have it. My relationship with master can be said to bea friendship that has been through life and death… if I use a piece of his spirit iron, he may make a fuss but he won´t get really mad...”

Ning Fan shook his head while smiling wryly. He could easily imagine that if the Old Monster got wind of Ning Fan using his Soul Burning spirit iron, he would definitely fly into a rage and cry out ‘father has suffered!’.

But the Old Monster would only babble about it and wouldn’t really get mad, he was pretty generous when it came to matters regarding Ning Fan.

“Is that so, it seems that Young Lord and City Lord are on pretty good terms...” Mo Rushui took a meaningful glance at Ning Fan.

According to what she knew, the Old Monster took in countless disciples. Although he treatedthem all relatively well, none of them were treated as well as Ning Fan. It seems that the temperament of these two were very similar.

If Mo Rushui were to come to learn the truth that Ning Fan and the Old Monster hadexterminated the Heaven Separation School together and were the culprits that countless old monsters of the Rain Immortal World were trying to track down, she wouldn´t have thought of that question.

In the Heaven Separation battle, Ning Fan and the Old Monster shared life and death and trusted each other, their friendship could be described as a master and disciple´s relationship but also as friends despite the difference in age. Old Monster was very carefree and Ning Fan was also easygoing.

Mo Rushui faintly sighed. What caused this is the Old Monster´s tragic story. Old Monster took countless disciples, but each of them died a brutal death... and the only one that was still alive had become the Old Monster´s life’s grievance...

And this Old Monster actually took Ning Fan as his disciple, treating him like his child. It would seem that regarding the relations between Ning Fan and the Old Monster; there was a destiny between them that was hard to come across.

“Since Young Lord has confidence in using this iron, then I won´t say more. I recommend Young Lord attach the ‘Soul Burning’ divine power to this sword. But, there´s still one more problem...”

“Oh? If there are more problems you can just say it. Even though my knowledge about Spirit Augmentation is limited, what I know about other aspects is still pretty good, perhaps I can help Goddess Mo to solve some problems...”

“The other problem is… the Soul Burning spirit iron has been polluted by a strange demonic ore… so the effect of applying Spirit Augmentation might be greatly reduced. About this matter, I believe there is a need to tell Young Lord in advance.” Mo Rushui looked apologetic. As a Spirit Augmentation Master, if she were to attach a flawed divine power for her clients she would lose her credibility.

“Oh? The Soul Burning spirit iron was actually polluted by a demonic ore? Interesting...Goddess Mo, can you bring me over to take a look at this Soul Burning spirit iron? Perhaps I can purify it, who knows.”

“If you can accomplish that then I can attach the most perfect divine power for Young Lord!” Mo Rushui stood up joyously, her pair of beautiful eyes carrying a trace of fervor. Without the patience to wait and also not caring that it was late at night, she immediately took Ning Fan to take a look at the spirit iron.

This made Ning Fan rather speechless. Were all the renowned Spirit Augmentation Masters and Refinement Masters mad-men when it came to refining treasures?

...

Inside Mo clan’s treasure room, Mo Rushui ran her hand over something and activated a mechanism, causing a deep tunnel to suddenly appear from the ground that lead to an unknown location.

Ning Fan followed Mo Rushui and walked down the tunnel, seemingly making their way down thousands of zhang deep underground.

In the deepest area, there was a secret chamber made of ‘Broken Divine Silver’ that was approximately three zhang in size and in the shape of a square. This immortal ore not only possessed a hard and durable quality, it could also block divine sense, thus it was extremely precious. Who could have imagined that it would be used by Mo Rushui to build a secret chamber.

The insides of the secret chamber was practically empty, with only a jade table placed in the center of the room and a piece of half-black half-red ore atop it.

The red half carried a faint trace of blazing heat and Ning Fan used his divine sense to sense it. In a moment of carelessness, a trace of his divine sense was burned by that heat. If he was a little slower in retracting it, he definitely would have gotten injured.

“Is this the Soul Burning spirit iron? I had not expected that it could actually burn divine sense. If this divine power was attached to the sword, a slash would not only cut flesh, it could even cut the enemy’s divine sense!”

A void rank divine power truly cannot be looked down upon...

Ning Fan´s eyes then fell onto the black half, this time showing a puzzled expression.

It looked familiar and strange, but after racking his brain for a short period of time, nothing came to mind.

Mo Rushui respectfully stood to the side and waited, not daring to disturb Ning Fan´s train of thoughts.

Moments later, Ning Fan approached the jade table and touched the black ore, his emotions unstable.

His exterior expression appeared calm and collected, but his heart was shaken to it’s core.

“Joyous Union iron…a kind of divine iron recorded in the <>... this iron only has one use and it is to be made into a joyous union secret treasure… Cauldron Ring! One of the uses of that ring is to assist dual cultivation, a self-made space to hold cauldrons… with this item, an evil cultivator could kidnap hundreds of thousands of women and bring them along with him easily...”
