Chapter 975 Ling Yun, the Speechless One

The smile on Su Nuan's face froze. This man really spoiled the mood.

She said helplessly: "We will try our best, and if it doesn't work, we will take the village away."

Ling Yun continued, "The houses in the village are spaced far apart. The entire village covers an area larger than the largest city. It seems..."

Su Nuan quickly raised her hand to stop him from continuing, "Stop, I think it's better for you not to talk at this moment."

Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan with innocent eyes. He obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The two of them attracted a lot of attention when they entered the village. An old man with white hair and beard and a vigorous spirit came over and asked, "Are you two here to take the test?"

Su Nuan was stunned. "Assessment?"

The old man nodded. "The entrance examination is held every three years. Aren't you going to the Five Elements Mountain to cultivate immortality?"

Su Nuan quickly said, "Yes, but I didn't expect the assessment to start today."

A sense of powerlessness rose in her heart again. Couldn't Hai Lan have given her the news earlier? What if she got lazy and couldn't make it in time tomorrow?

It can be seen how much Hai Lan doesn't want to tell the situation here. He prefers to replace someone else to be the emperor.

The old man said, "Come with me. You are from another village, so you need to pay some land fees."

Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What is the land loan fee?"

The old man glared at him, "You don't even know this? Even though you're taking the test in our village, shouldn't you pay a little money to borrow our land to achieve your goals of rapid advancement?"

Su Nuan felt that she had asked a stupid question. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Then how much do we both have to pay?"

She also didn't know what currency the people in this place accepted, nor did she know which country had jurisdiction over this area.

The old man said, "Ten spirit stones per person."

Su Nuan was dumbfounded. "Spirit...Spirit Stone?"

What the hell is this? Is there really spiritual energy in the world? Cultivating immortality?

The old man took out a few stones from the pouch on his waist and said, "This is the spirit stone."

Su Nuan looked at the stones in the old man's hand. Each one was as big as a fingernail and had different shapes. They all looked like icy jade.

She picked one up to play with, and asked in her heart, "Xiao Ling, is there anything special about this stone?"

The Space Spirit said, "It contains a lot of energy. It seems that this kind of stone is abundant here."

"Could it be that your final mission in this world has appeared? Since they have energy stones here, you can take as many as you can."

Su Nuan asked doubtfully, "Does the space still need energy stones?"

The Space Spirit sighed and said, "Actually, it takes a lot. After all, what you want is for Space and Blue Star to coexist."

Su Nuan understood. No matter how she operated, the more energy stones she collected, the sooner her wish would come true.

"knew."

She thought about it in her mind and pretended to be confused and said, "But I don't have this kind of stone, what should I do?"

The old man smiled and said, "We have a spiritual mine here. You have gold, right? Use one hundred taels of gold in exchange for the qualification to mine for one day."

"If you're lucky, you might even get a hundred spirit stones, not to mention ten. If you're lucky enough to dig up a five-element stone, you'll be rich."

Su Nuan took out a handful of golden melon seeds and stuffed them into the old man's pocket. He said with a smile, "Would you please take us to the mine?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he picked up a gold melon seed and looked at it. "Not bad, it would be nice to take it back and make some jewelry for the children."

"Come on, I'll take you there. Remember to come back before sunset, because the assessment will begin after sunset."

Su Nuan nodded, "Thank you."

The old man looked up at Ling Yun and muttered, "It's a pity that such a good young man is mute."

Ling Yun, “…”

Su Nuan couldn't help laughing.

When Ling Yun saw Su Nuan was happy, a gentle smile appeared on his dark face.

The three of them walked through the village and came to the other side, where there was a big house with many pickaxes placed in the yard.

The old man said, "Old Sun, someone is coming."

An old man with gray hair and a short gray coat walked out of the room. He smiled and said, "Have I told you all the rules?"

The old man nodded, "I said it."

Su Nuan took out two hundred taels of gold and placed them on the wooden table in the yard.

Old Sun nodded. "Choose your pickaxe yourself. Remember to return it when you get back and you'll get ten taels of gold back."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

She and Ling Yun picked up pickaxes at random and looked around, not knowing where the mining site was.

Old Sun said, "Come into the house. The entrance to the mine is right inside."

Su Nuan and Ling Yun walked into the house and found that there was indeed a hole in the house with stairs inside. There was an oil lamp on the wall next to the stairs.

The two entered the mine and began to go deeper along the mine tunnel.

The mine tunnel in front is very flat, but it becomes rougher as it goes deeper. The walls are uneven and there are traces of pickaxes on them.

Su Nuan asked in her heart: "Xiao Ling, can you feel where the spirit stone is?"

The space spirit said, "Turn right in front, go straight to the end and turn left, dig!"

Su Nuan's mouth twitched, wondering how the space spirit knew the situation inside the mine.

Who knows how many people have been here. It has been dug into a mess, more complicated than a spider web.

According to the space spirit's instructions, Su Nuan has turned right. The road here is very long, and there are two people walking out in front.

They were a man and a woman. The man was very big and had to keep his head down when walking in the mine.

The woman was very petite. She was looking up at the man and saying something with a smile on her face.

Soon, the four met on a narrow road.

Su Nuan pulled Ling Yun and prepared to move sideways against the wall to let the two pass.

Unexpectedly, the tall man didn't pay attention to Su Nuan and bumped into her directly, pushing her into Ling Yun's arms.

Ling Yun shouted, "Watch the road carefully!"

The man was startled and looked at Su Nuan. Su Nuan also looked at him curiously, and their eyes met.

Surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he said with a red face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The pretty girl angrily said, "You were the ones who bumped into us, so why are you blaming us?"

After she finished speaking, she pulled the man forward and said angrily, "Brother, let's go."

Su Nuan withdrew her gaze and pulled Ling Yun deeper into the building. There was no need to pay attention to unimportant people.

Ling Yun looked back and met the girl's eyes, who saw surprise in her eyes.

Su Nuan didn't pay attention to Ling Yun's situation and pulled him inside. "Xiao Ling gave us a hint. We should hurry."

Ling Yun nodded, "Okay."

Ling Yun could also hear what the space spirit was saying because Su Nuan was holding his hand.

The two men came to the end. On the left was a pit that had been dug half a meter deep. It was not even a mine tunnel.

Maybe someone came here to dig for a while, thought there would be no spiritual stones here, and then moved to another place.

Su Nuan said, "This is it."

Ling Yun nodded. "Move aside. There are a lot of rocks here. They must have been abandoned because they were too difficult to dig."

Su Nuan obediently stepped aside and waited to see how long it would take Ling Yun to dig up the stone. She would wait and see if he couldn't dig it down.
