Chapter 951: You Can Only Act with Me

Listening to Robb’s request to see the Xuanyuan Black Iron, Shisu reflexively made a motion to protect the cloth bag. However, she immediately relaxed her posture, realizing that there was no point in resisting if he truly intended to steal it. She removed the cloth bag and placed it on the ground, then proceeded to untie the rope.

A dazzling silver light emanated from the cloth bag, revealing a piece of ore that shone brilliantly. It had not undergone any refinement yet, remaining in its raw state, but even in this form, it was already strikingly beautiful. Shisu couldn’t help but marvel at it, as it was her first time seeing Xuanyuan Black Iron.

Robb’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Starfall Gold Ore!”

Starfall Gold Ore was the most top-tier and rarest stone in “Dark Blade.” Even in the game, acquiring it in large quantities was extremely challenging, with players only occasionally stumbling upon a piece. Equipment crafted from this ore represented the highest tier of gear in “Dark Blade.”

Of course, the equipment crafted from this ore was still slightly inferior to gear dropped by raid bosses. However, in the real world where raiding formidable bosses to obtain rare orange-tier equipment was not an option, gear made from Starfall Gold Ore would undoubtedly be the most top-tier equipment available.

Such high-level equipment was more than sufficient to take on the Black Dragon.

Upon hearing Robb spontaneously utter an unfamiliar name, Shisu couldn’t help but become curious. “What did you just say? Isn’t this Xuanyuan Black Iron?”

Robb explained, “Xuanyuan Black Iron is just a name you’ve given it. Its other name is Starfall Gold Ore, and I happen to be quite familiar with this type of ore.”

As he spoke, his thoughts drifted back to the past when he rode on a fast horse, traversing the continent in endless circles. He would mine Starfall Gold Ore while chatting with his silly online friends in the guild channel. Those were the adventurous days when they would goof off and joke around while running in circles, mining ore together. Unfortunately, one by one, his silly online friends went AFK until only he remained, running around the vast map all alone.

Shisu’s voice brought him back to the present. “Since you’re familiar with it, do you know how to process it? How can it be transformed into the Xuanyuan Sword?”

“It’s simple! Just use your hands!” Robb replied with a grin. “If you don’t mind, I can perform a bit of craftsmanship on it.”

Shisu didn’t mind at all. In fact, she was quite eager to see how this ore could be processed. After obtaining this piece of ore, the Qiantang Sect had attempted various methods to refine it, such as using a large hammer or subjecting it to high temperatures, but none had been successful. The ore remained undamaged, impervious to the hammer, and unaffected by extreme heat.

It was said that ancient immortals had used the True Fire to forge Xuanyuan Black Iron into the Xuanyuan Sword in ancient times.

However, as time passed and spiritual energy declined, the current cultivators were becoming less and less skilled. No one could produce the True Fire needed to refine such extraordinary stones. If Robb could truly refine this ore, it would be a great asset.

Shisu widened her rabbit-like eyes, watching Robb’s actions intently. She saw him extend his hands and make a rubbing motion, freezing for a couple of seconds. Then, the Xuanyuan Black Iron ore, which was initially as large as a human head, suddenly transformed, shrinking and turning into a square-shaped, gleaming metallic ingot.

Although Shisu didn’t have extensive knowledge of metalworking, seeing the iridescence on the ingot, she realized that it was purer than the ore from before. It had been successfully refined into a high-purity Xuanyuan Black Iron ingot.

Shisu, “Are you kidding me? You just refined it by rubbing it with your hands? You’re challenging my knowledge of ore refinement.”

Robb laughed, “I have the True Fire in the palm of my hand.”

Shisu squinted, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?”

Robb replied, “Then how do you think I refined it?”

Shisu began thinking, really thinking, and pondered for quite some time before sighing, “I can’t think of any other possibility except for you having the True Fire in your palm.”

“Then that’s correct,” Robb chuckled. “You’re a cute little three-year-old bunny.”

Shisu: “…”

Robb played around with the Xuanyuan Black Iron Ingot in his hand. In the game, it was just a small icon in the inventory, and while the game designers added a slight glowing effect, it didn’t look all that impressive. Seeing it in the real world, however, it appeared quite beautiful, sparkling with radiance, giving off an exhilarating feeling.

Robb couldn’t help but say, “Using this to create a few pairs of earrings or necklaces might look really nice.”

Beside him, Shisu widened her eyes.

Robb continued, “Don’t get too excited; I was just kidding. I know this stuff is meant to be used for crafting weapons to slay dragons. However, with just this one ingot, we can’t make anything yet. The material isn’t enough.” Saying that, he tossed the Starfall Gold Ingot into Shisu’s hands.

Shisu received the ingot, feeling its surprising weight. Although it was a small piece, it was unusually heavy. She expressed her surprise, “I didn’t expect you to return it to me.”

“How many times do I have to say it?” Robb replied. “I’ve never taken something that belongs to others.”

Shisu: “…”

Robb said, “Alright, now let’s go find the next piece of ore. If my guess is correct, your sect must be desperately trying to gather information about the whereabouts of other ores. Even a fool knows that with just one piece of ore, it’s impossible to forge a weapon. You need to collect many pieces, and I’m sure you have clues about other ores.”

Robb hit the nail on the head this time. Indeed, the Qiantang Sect knew the whereabouts of several other ores. However, in their efforts to protect the ore they already possessed, they had gone all out and ended up being wiped out. So, there was no time left to search for the other ores.

Shisu asked, “Why do I have to go with you?”

Robb smiled and replied, “There are two reasons. First, if you don’t act with me, you’re as good as dead. Your cultivation level is low, but the fact that you have a piece of ore will surely spread among those heavily armed men who just fled. Do you think you can keep that ore safe?”

Shisu remained silent.

Robb continued, “The second reason is that you don’t know how to refine ores. You don’t even know how to turn it into a Xuanyuan sword. Even if you miraculously stumble upon the other ores, you’ll just be helpless, watching them. In the end, you’ll still need me to help you refine them into a sword. So, why not cooperate with me?”

Shisu had no words to argue. “Fine, you’re right. I finally understand your intentions now. You pretended to return the ore to me because you were confident you could take it back from my hand at any time. You gained my trust first and then will use me to find other ores. After I gather them, you’ll snatch them. It’s more convenient that way, right?”
