Ning Shu didn’t accept him as a disciple. She could see at a glance that this fellow was someone who wished that he could just destroy the world. If he really became powerful, the entire world would fall into chaos.

  He was cynical to the extreme.

  Ning Shu said, “I had saved your life only since we are of the same kind. Now goodbye.”


  The boy closely followed behind Ning Shu and begged, “Please, please.”


  Ning Shu turned around and looked at him. Then, she asked, “Right now, you must resent me? Do you resent me for refusing to teach you?”


  The boy’s gaze shifted evasively and he remained silent.

  Ning Shu said indifferently, “Even such an insignificant thing can make you feel so resentful. If you become strong one day, I’ll end up being the first one that you kill.”


  The boy knelt on the ground. “I swear that I’d definitely never do that.”


  Ning Shu shook her head and continued walking towards the town.

  They returned to Qing Yue’s courtyard. Ning Shu didn’t let him into the house, so he just knelt uprightly in front of the main gate.

  Ning Shu ignored him. Since he wanted to kneel, he should just kneel. Ning Shu started refining pills and setting formations.

  Suddenly, surging black storm clouds rapidly accumulated over the house. It released a deadly lightning strike towards the courtyard. The house was instantly destroyed.

  Ning Shu’s heart clenched. The kelp was still in the house!

  She was just about to rush in and pull the kelp out when she noticed an axe slowly rise towards the sky and confront the lightning bolts.

  It was a heavenly tribulation!

  The axe was weathering the heavenly tribulation.

  Qing Yue came out from within the house, looking exhausted. Ning Shu asked, “Are you okay?”


  He shook his head and looked up at the axe.

  The heavenly tribulation struck the axe, causing the axe to release a humming sound. The axe looked as if it was using all its strength to resist the lightning.

  Then it started to shrink slowly and its color became dull.

  The heavenly tribulation began to weaken. When the last lightning bolt struck the axe, the dark clouds dissipated and the sky again became clear again.

  Qing Yue reached out for the axe and it flew into his hand. Then, he turned and gave it to Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu took the axe. This axe was very heavy and felt very nice in her hand.

  “Thank you.” She was very happy.

  “Keep it in your dantian to grow. This is a divine artifact.” Qing Yue looked a little tired.

  A divine artifact?!

  Ning Shu said in shock, “Kelp, you actually managed to refine a divine artifact?”


  “All those sects’ guardian artifacts were refined by people. Why wouldn’t I be able to refine divine artifacts?” asked Qing Yue lightly.

  “What I mean is, your weapon refining skill is so high that it exceeded my expectations.” Ning Shu stroked the black axe.

  This simple and plain axe was actually a divine artifact. Real treasures would conceal their magnificence. Treasures should hide themselves and not seek fame.

  “This is too precious. I can’t just accept it,” said Ning Shu.

  “Then you can give it back to me.” Qing Yue extended his hand.

  Ning Shu immediately shook her head. “It’s not like you’re going to use the axe. This kind of weapon will really ruin your modest, gentlemanly, noble, and sophisticated aura.”


  The boy kneeling at the gate stared up at the sky, dumbfounded. So amazing!

  Qing Yue’s expression changed and he asked, “What’s happening at the gate?”


  “Oh, a half-demon like me wanted me to accept him as my disciple, but I refused,” said Ning Shu nonchalantly.

  She inserted her own consciousness into the axe, engraving her own consciousness into it.

  When she had thoroughly mastered the axe, she felt like the axe was simply an extension of her own arm. She could manipulate it freely, making it shrink and grow in size at will.
