This is where the Lotus Assassins keep various prisoners ranging from slaves and average citizens of the Empire who have questioned the Emperor's actions, to magisters who have spoken out against the Emperor, all of whom are to be used to create spirit shards. The Soul Extraction Room is under the charge of Lotus Acolyte Go Rin, who operates the Soul Extractor.

Swiftly, skin and flesh are burned away, leaving a charred skeleton and a spirit shard behind. The Soul Extractor quickly and painfully kills the victim subjected to its four cauldrons, which are overturned remotely, dumping their glowing, silvery-green contents onto the person below. This room takes its name from the eerie and cold device it houses. When the Spirit Monk assassinates Master Shin, his body is thrown into the Golem Press and crushed, making it appear as if he fell in and was killed by it. Phoenix Oil, used to heat the Press during its operation, will cause the machine to run too hot if too much oil is added. If asked about the machine, they will explain some of how it operates, notably a primary cause of it malfunctioning. The Press requires two people working in unison to operate properly, and is currently run by Mold Master Gi and Mold Master Soto. This is the highly-complex and intricate machine that manufactures the clay golems that, when combined with spirit shards produced by the Soul Extractor, become sentient and obedient instruments of the Emperor's will.
