What are these so-called special minerals?

It's just a front that Tongsu uses to deceive people.

Ore is a material, and different ores bring different effects to weapons, mainly in terms of sharpness, toughness, melting point, etc., and have little to do with whether they can contain spiritual energy.

Tong Su said, "Before entering the exchange, I prepared two weapons: one was this dagger that could contain mental energy, and the other was an ordinary weapon. My initial plan was just to sell the dagger and make some money. But when I saw Geraldine, I changed my mind."

A smile flashed in Xuan Ting's eyes: "Let me guess: She has a grudge against you, she has an affair with the steward, you had a conflict with her, she was able to attract the steward, you took out the dagger to attract the steward's attention, and ideally, to make connections with the entire Feng family?"

Tongsu laughed as well: "What if he sees the treasure and is so delighted that he kills someone to silence them and steal the treasure?"

“That steward isn’t a brainless idiot. You’re the goose that lays the golden eggs. Killing you would certainly get him the dagger, but if he wants long-term development, he can’t give up long-term resources.”

"Would he consider capturing me, interrogating me about the refining method, and forcing me to work for him?"

The smile in Xuan Ting's long, dark phoenix eyes grew even deeper.

“Furthermore. If you tell him the ore is gone and there’s only one dagger left, he might kill you for it; but if you then say there are other weapons that are even slightly effective—that’s a way out, an opportunity. As long as there’s a sliver of hope, he won’t fight to the death. Besides…”

A haughty and arrogant smile spread across his handsome face.

Even if he wanted to take action, so what?

He's there.

No one can put her in danger!

Tong Su, unaware of his thoughts, curiously held up the golden tea, took a sip, and found it sweet, like sugar water.

The leaves are fresh leaves picked directly from the tree and have undergone the proper roasting and fermentation process for tea.

Aside from being made by steeping plant leaves, it has absolutely nothing in common with Earth's "tea".

"Is this 'tea'?"

Xuan Ting glanced at it: "Yes, it should be Golden Tea from the Eongl-Ieng star system in the Perseus constellation. When we migrated from Earth, too many civilizations were lost, and no one knew how tea was made in ancient times. So all beverages made by steeping tree leaves in water were called 'tea'—hey, weren't we just talking about that Steward Liven? What was his only method, as you just mentioned?"

Not only tea, but also the snacks brought by merchant ships were all strange things. They tasted good, but they had nothing in common with the food from ancient times on Earth.

Tong Su's cooking skills improved more and more as she did missions in different worlds. When she ate something new, she could usually figure out the ingredients and steps to make it. Therefore, she had a special fondness for food.

She picked up a spherical pastry, took a bite, and said, "The only way is to give up."

"give up?!"

The pastry was brown and looked a bit like chocolate, but when she bit into it, she discovered that under the thin, hard outer shell was something like milk jelly, with a grainy filling. It wasn't very sweet, but it was very milky and quite delicious.

Tongsu liked it as soon as she tasted it.

"Giving up means he doesn't dare claim all the credit for 'discovering me'. He said before that he needed to go out and consult the person in charge—on this ship, he's the highest-ranking person, so who else could he consult? Only the head of the Wind Sky Merchant Guild, the president!"
