Liang's eyes narrowed subtly as the Pavilion Head's query echoed through the space.
"Hmm?" Liang regarded the Pavilion Head with astonishment etched upon his face. "Even your keen appraisal expertise failed to decipher its nature?"
The Pavilion Head gave a solemn nod, his gaze holding a glimmer of anticipation as it met Liang's.
"In truth, it possesses no remarkable qualities," Liang began, shaking his head. "However, this ore possesses the unique ability to absorb the essence of other living beings' blood."
A note of skepticism colored the Pavilion Head's expression as he regarded Liang intently. "Is there truly nothing more?"
Liang shrugged. "In my previous encounters with a weapon crafted from similar material, that was the sole effect I observed."
"I understand," the Pavilion Head chuckled, his voice low and amused. "Based on that, I surmise you intend to forge a weapon utilizing this ore, is that correct?"
