"What's inside? A demon spirit?" Li Xiu seemed puzzled, unsure what Old Knife meant.
If Old Knife wanted to give him a demon spirit, he could just gift him a Demon Spirit Ring. Why put the demon spirit in a furnace to burn?
If it was a wild demon spirit trapped inside the furnace, then Old Knife could kill it himself and leave something for him. There was no need to wait for Li Xiu to come and kill it himself.
"How should I put it, you could say it's a demon spirit, or you could say it's not," Old Knife pointed to the Brass Furnace and said, "This furnace is called the Demon Refining Furnace, and it's been around for a long time. The demon spirit inside was thrown in by an elder who guarded the Celestial Gate ages ago. It's been refining inside this Demon Refining Furnace for at least sixty or seventy years. Whether it's still a demon spirit now, that's hard to say."
