288 teoric Iron
Hearing Ye Jin’s description, Lin Ran felt even more puzzled because what she said didn’t make him feel a sense of danger at all.
Although Ye Jin was almost 20 years old, she had always lived in the city and was ignorant of the world. She had no idea what “danger” was.
If she wanted Lin Ran to know that this ore was very dangerous, she had to at least describe it as “you’ll die if you touch it”. Otherwise, how would one know how dangerous this thing was?
After calming down, Lin Ran looked at Ye Jin and asked, “Are you sure this is the ore your father asked you to find?”
Ye Jin thought for a mont and shook her head. “My father didn’t tell what kind of ore I need to find. He only asked to co to Mount Xianyong and said that once I saw that kind of ore, I’d imdiately know that it was what he wanted.”
Lin Ran shrugged and said with a forced smile, “We just arrived at Mount Xianyong. This is the only ore we’ve seen so far. Perhaps this is not what your father needs at all.”
Ye Jin thought about it and realized that it made sense. She glanced at the ore that was glowing with a dark green color and took a few steps back. “Then I’ll take a look around.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Lin Ran nodded with a smile. Ye Jin turned around and walked into the weeds.
After Ye Jin walked a distance away, the smile on Lin Ran’s face disappeared. He reached into his pocket and took out the cloth bag. After opening it, he took out a scrap tal ball and placed it beside the ore.
Lin Ran felt that this ore that was suffused with a dark green color seed to be a little different from the tal ball in his mory.
In front of Ye Jin, Lin Ran couldn’t take out the tal ball. Now that he had sent her away and compared it carefully, he realized the difference between the two.
It was probably because the tal ball had been lted before, so its surface was smoother than the ore.
Secondly, the color of the ore was also slightly different. Although the green color of the ore was strange, it was pure. In contrast, the green luster on the tal ball looked too dark.
Lin Ran frowned and thought for a mont. He took out the Yin-Yang Sword and slashed out a few fire sword energies that circled the ore like butterflies. Soon, the surrounding temperature rose, and a faint sll of copper and rust wafted out of the ore.
Lin Ran’s eyes flickered as he found the third difference between the two. Apart from the sll of copper and rust, there was also a faint sll of blood on the tal ball, but this ore didn’t sll like that at all.
“Lin Ran! Co here!”
Just as Lin Ran was thinking hard, Ye Jin suddenly shouted from afar, her voice filled with excitent, as if she had discovered sothing incredible.
“Coming!”
Lin Ran put away the tal ball and went to find Ye Jin.
Then, Lin Ran saw a huge pit that was about a hundred feet wide.
There were also weeds growing in the pit. A cleared path extended straight to the center of the pit.
As he sized up his surroundings, Lin Ran had already jumped to the center of the pit because Ye Jin was waving at him. He landed and looked around before asking in confusion, “What’s happening?”
“I found it!”
Ye Jin pointed at the ground and shouted excitedly. Lin Ran looked down and realized that there was a silver-white tal sticking out of the ground. It was about the size of a fist and was covered in mud. It was obvious that it had just been dug out.
“I saw this huge pit just now and felt that it was where the heavenly tal fell, so I wanted to co down and take a look—”
Ye Jin gestured excitedly and pointed at the silver tal on the ground. “Then I found this. This must be a piece of heavenly tal! my father asked to find this!”
Lin Ran knew that the “Heavenly tal” Ye Jin ntioned was actually a teorite. Although teoric iron was very rare, it seed that since ancient tis, many divine swords were made of teoric iron. For example, the national treasure of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, the Sacred Abyss Sword.
Lin Ran didn’t know if the Ten Miles Dragon Roar was made of teoric iron, but if he could use this thing to reforge the Sacred Abyss Sword, it seed to be a good choice. However…
Looking at the huge pit he was in, Lin Ran couldn’t help but look troubled.
Mount Xianyong was a mine. To be able to create such a huge pit here, this teorite was definitely not small. Even if they could dig it out, it would be a problem to bring it back.
Lin Ran told Ye Jin what he was worried about, and Ye Jin suggested. “We don’t have to bring it all back!”
“What do you an?”
“It’s just reforging a sword. There’s no need for so many materials.”
As Ye Jin spoke, she gestured with her hand. “As long as we bring back such a big piece, it’s enough to reforge your sword.”
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Lin Ran rolled up his sleeves and called out, “Hurry up and dig it out. We can still return to the city before it gets dark!”
“Before it gets dark?”
Ye Jin revealed a suspicious expression. They couldn’t see the sun from their position, but they could feel that the sky was much darker than before. It would probably be dark in less than two hours.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely make it in ti.”
Lin Ran smiled confidently and raised his hand to summon the Yin-Yang Sword. At the sa ti, he released his divine sense and stuck it to the surface of the tal.
Lin Ran’s idea was to figure out the shape of the tal underground first before choosing a piece that was just the right size to bring back. This way, it would definitely be faster than digging all the way down.
However, as his divine sense gradually went deeper into the ground, Lin Ran’s expression beca strange, as if there was sothing unbelievable hidden underground.
