Chapter 471 What is in the Ghost Town?
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What do you mean?"
The Space Spirit said, "What's the benefit of building a luminous city? It's definitely not because of this."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What can be done?"
The Space Spirit said, "Refine the elixir."
Su Nuan's eyes widened. "Alchemy? How crazy is that? You can just take some poison and die quickly. Why suffer this torture?"
The Space Spirit spread his hands and said, "How would I know? Anyway, someone has a wild idea and thinks this thing can be used to make pills."
Su Nuan touched his chin and said, "Fluorite, is it useful to us? If not, just clear everyone out and blow it up."
The space spirit tugged at Su Nuan's sleeve and shook it, "It's useful, it's useful, let's go in and take a look, maybe there's something exciting going on."
Su Nuan looked at her in confusion, "You've already seen it, why should I watch it again?"
The space spirit didn’t understand why Su Nuan was so passive. Was it because she had collected all the gold?
Seeing the Space Spirit puffing up his cheeks in anger, Su Nuan smiled and said, "Look at Xiao Lingtian. He's not injured, nor does he look exhausted. So he let himself be caught on purpose."
"Let's wait a little longer. What if we act rashly and ruin his plan?"
The space spirit said helplessly: "Okay, then what can we do? Watch them go mining?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, this is possible."
The space spirit stopped talking, feeling that whatever he said would be of no use.
Su Nuan went to the corner, took out half a pig from the space, and carried it towards the kitchen.
Someone saw her and called out, "Xiao Liuzi, did you buy the meat so quickly?"
Su Nuan said in a hoarse voice: "I collected it from the villagers."
The man laughed and said, "No wonder, hurry up and cook, otherwise you won't be able to eat that afternoon meal and will have to wait until tomorrow."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll cook it thoroughly for you even if it means boiling it in plain water."
The man nodded and turned to leave.
There was also an old man and an aunt in the kitchen. They didn't say anything. After seeing Su Nuan, they looked at her without asking any questions.
The old man cut the meat into pieces and made soup with the bones first.
The aunt was picking wild vegetables while Su Nuan started fetching water and doing some odd jobs.
The three of them cooperated well.
Two large pots of braised pork with wild vegetables were cooked, and the taste was average. Su Nuan picked some wild vegetables to eat.
The aunt served some lean meat to Su Nuan, "Ah...ah..."
It turned out that this aunt had her tongue cut off and could only make "ah ah" sounds.
Su Nuan nodded and reluctantly took two bites.
To be honest, the pork in the space has no fishy smell and the meat is very fragrant. The pigs raised outside are not the same. They have a strong smell and Su Nuan can't eat them at all.
Soon someone came to say that two large pots of food were being taken away. I wonder if there was any portion for the miners.
The aunt kicked the bucket, meaning that there was no water.
Su Nuan hurried to fetch water, and when the pot was brought back, they added water directly into the pot and used the water used to wash the pot to cook the black flour paste.
The space spirit said, "Are they giving this porridge that even pigs won't eat to the miners?"
Su Nuan argued, "Pigs will eat this kind of paste."
The space spirit glanced sideways and said, "Do you think the fragrant pig in our space will eat it?"
Su Nuan touched her nose and thought, “Okay, the little pigs raised in the space are not big, and only weigh about 100 pounds when they grow up. They grow up eating grass and fruits, and their meat is delicious.”
"Do you think the pigs and rabbits in our space have mutated? The rabbits are getting bigger, and the pigs are getting smaller."
The space spirit replied, "That's improvement, just like the grains and fruits you grow, which have been improved in taste through generations of reproduction."
Su Nuan nodded, "Oh...I see."
While the porridge was being cooked, she sneaked into the cave and found Xiao Lingtian mining at the end of a mine tunnel.
Xiao Lingtian recognized Su Nuan as soon as he saw her and said, "I heard that their iron mining was just a cover, and they wanted to dig for something special."
Su Nuan nodded, "It's fluorite ore. Do you need it? If not, rescue them and leave quickly."
As Xiao Lingtian dug at the wall with his pickaxe, he said, "It turned out to be fluorite. It's not very useful, but the price of fluorite is equivalent to silver. If you can dig up a lot of fluorite, you can make a lot of money."
Su Nuan frowned. "Is fluorite so valuable? One ounce of fluorite is equal to one ounce of silver?"
Xiao Lingtian replied: "Yes, it seems to be more valuable now. I can use fluorite to make pills."
Su Nuan said disdainfully: "Using fluorite to make pills is like despising your life. If you need..."
Before she could finish her words, the wall that Xiao Lingtian was digging collapsed with a bang, revealing the fluorite inside that was emitting golden light.
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "Is this fluorite? Why does it look like a crystal pillar?"
The fluorite in the new knowledge is not in this form. Isn’t it the same thing?
The space spirit flew in, hugged the fluorite, looked at it, and said, "It's so beautiful, let's dig some up and use it as decoration."
"These fluorites have been buried underground for who knows how many years, yet they're still glowing. Perhaps they can be used as a new light source."
Su Nuan felt that the space did not need a new light source, but Sifang City needed it because the walls of Sifang City were hollow and there was a place to hide soldiers.
If you burn a torch inside for a long time, the oxygen in the air will decrease. But with this new light source, it's different. You can use a mercury mirror to refract sunlight to charge it.
In this way, there will always be light inside the wall, making the soldiers guarding inside feel less nervous and more comfortable.
Su Nuan thought about this and said, "I want these fluorites. I can use them as new light sources when I return to Sifang City."
Xiao Lingtian, who was originally disappointed, immediately became motivated when he heard that Su Nuan needed these fluorites.
"Okay, I'll go get some people, and you can collect it together after the mining is finished."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
It would be better to wait for the ready-made labor force instead of wasting it.
She immediately turned around and followed Xiao Lingtian out, waiting until everyone was asleep at night before going back in.
Zhang was very happy to find the fluorite mine. He said happily, "Old Li, you have lost a lot. I deserve to be rich."
"Hurry up and let them mine it. Be careful and try to collect it as completely as possible. If they damage it, they will be killed on the spot."
"Yes!" someone responded and began to drive away the miners.
Su Nuan hid in the dark and watched. These miners did not look like ordinary people. They were all strong men, like soldiers.
But if they were soldiers, why were they shackled? Su Nuan couldn't understand this.
After the first frame of fluorite was dug out, Lord Zhang said to himself with joy, "Great! If I sell these to the ghost messenger, I'm sure I'll get tickets to visit the ghost town."
Su Nuan narrowed his eyes. A ghost town? What on earth was so interesting about a ghost town that would make him go through so much trouble to find fluorite mines?
The space spirit said: "It's a ghost town again. I will definitely go to the ghost town when I have the chance."
As he was speaking, a man covered in a black cloak said, "Master Zhang."
Lord Zhang looked over, was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran over and knelt down, "Greetings, Lord Ghost Messenger."
