A piece of inner armor-style magic weapon was thrown into the furnace by Sun Lingtong.
Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra!
The magic weapon gradually melted, turning into nothingness, but it left behind a strong spiritual energy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The spiritual energy rapidly infused into the Weather Sphere: Ice Crystal Snow, raising its spiritual energy to a perfect tenfold.
Tenfold spiritual energy, self-sufficient!
From now on, even if the Weather Sphere: Ice Crystal Snow's spiritual energy was damaged, it could recover on its own.
The spiritual energy of the Weather Sphere: Ice Crystal Snow originated from the ghost cultivator Ning Xie.
When Ning Zhuo refined it, the spiritual energy was only at thirty-six percent.
However, it wasn’t difficult to increase spiritual energy.
You just had to find the corresponding relics.
Back then, Ning Zhuo also added spiritual energy to Yuan Dasheng's item in one go.
When Qi Bai made it, the spiritual energy was severely depleted from use, dropping to less than ten percent. But after burning some personal items from his storage bag, its spiritual energy immediately surged to over ninety percent.
Ever since obtaining the Weather Sphere: Ice Crystal Snow, Ning Zhuo had used his subordinates, the black market, and the branch family’s channels to collect Ning Xie’s belongings in every possible way.
Through this, he continually accumulated its spiritual energy.
After Ning Zhuo blackmailed the Ning Family Patriarch a second time, he obtained some of the family's public magic weapons.
The inner armor magic weapon being burned was Ning Xie's main defense item in life.
Once burned, it filled the final gap in its spiritual energy, reaching a perfect tenfold.
Of course, what Ning Zhuo obtained from the Ning Family Patriarch wasn’t just this.
He also got a promise from the Patriarch—the Ning Family would use all their resources to help Ning Zhuo measure his innate talent.
Ning Zhuo had to show a strong desire for this!
For a young genius cultivator with talent but unclear innate abilities, unable to develop further, it made no sense not to explore his own innate potential.
"Luckily, this matter is in the hands of the Ning Family’s main branch, and they definitely won’t make it easy for me to measure my talent."
The competition between the main and branch families was fierce, so the people on the Patriarch’s side would certainly try to hinder him in secret.
"Don’t disappoint me, main branch." Ning Zhuo silently cheered them on.
Zhou Nongying first suggested Jade-Warm Profound Steel, Zheng Jianlian proposed Dragon-Scale Green Iron, Zheng Shuanggou mentioned Zixia Agate Gold, and Zhu Xuanji recommended Moonlight Cold Iron.
Finally, when the second Golden Core ancestor of the Zhou Family suggested Soft Night Wind Iron, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they all agreed this material was the most suitable!
Zheng Shuanggou rubbed his chin and said, "If we use Soft Night Wind Iron, the smelting technique must be pure. Using Fire Fiend power for refining is absolutely not feasible."
Zheng Jianlian added, "The key is the cooling process."
"Soft Night Wind Iron contains vitality, and an extreme cold quenching method would be unsuitable. Using such a method would severely damage the properties of the Soft Night Wind Iron."
The Ning Family Golden Core Ancestor pondered, "That’s not difficult."
"Our family has a junior cultivator in the Qi Refining stage who possesses Ice Jade Hand. This innate ability contains a trace of vitality even under extreme cold."
"Brilliant," Zheng Shuanggou immediately praised, "With this junior’s cooperation, we won’t need to alter our previous refining plan, saving us a huge amount of time and effort."
With the discussion settled, the Ning Family Golden Core Ancestor immediately issued orders.
When Ning Xiaohui’s grandmother heard the news, she was extremely excited.
She eagerly sought out Ning Xiaohui, and upon meeting her, grabbed her shoulders, saying, "Opportunity, Xiaohui, your opportunity has come!"
Ning Xiaohui’s grandmother explained everything in detail, but Ning Xiaohui still had a look of disbelief.
Her grandmother reminded her, "Xiaohui, when you meet the Golden Core ancestors, you must be very respectful. They are all important figures, and since you’re helping them so much this time, even a small favor from them could benefit you for years."
Ning Xiaohui, who had been very despondent, gradually changed from a numb, discouraged expression to one full of anticipation upon hearing this news.
Following her grandmother's instructions, she went to pay respects to Zhu Xuanji and the three families' Golden Core ancestors, behaving very obediently.
The Ning Family Ancestor was kind to her.
Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly at her and explained the current situation.
When Ning Xiaohui heard they needed Soft Night Wind Iron, she suddenly remembered a recent rumor.
The rumor claimed that Ning Zhuo had destroyed a secret residence of the former black market master and looted many valuable items. Among them, it was said there was a large quantity of Soft Night Wind Iron.
Ning Xiaohui said, "Honorable Ancestor, may I report something..."
She informed the Golden Core ancestors about the black market, Ning Zhuo, and the Soft Night Wind Iron.
The Ning Family Ancestor said, "Oh? Ning Zhuo has Golden Core-grade treasure Soft Night Wind Iron? This is exactly what we need."
With a single command, Ning Zhuo was ordered to present this item.
