Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

After the merchants calmed down a bit, Bai Li approached Yang Heyu's men, but unfortunately, none of them appeared on the transaction page.

Perhaps these people are like the alpacas led by wandering merchants?

They're all carrying goods.

Bai Li thought to herself, "That's what I'm doing."

He glanced at the smuggled salt among the goods and an idea formed in his mind.

He is no longer a senior in high school, and his peak knowledge reserves have long passed, but he still vividly remembers the test point about purifying salt by dissolution and crystallization.

Who hasn't fantasized about traveling back to ancient times?

Yes, I actually wore it myself.

When it comes to refining salt, he doesn't even need to use the sun-drying method, which is greatly affected by the weather and has a long salt production cycle.

Directly boiling the brine is a more efficient and shorter process, and the salt purity is also relatively high. However, it is more expensive and requires a large amount of fuel.

But I'm not naked, and in the Minecraft world, the one thing that's never lacking is endless energy!

It made the game "Sailor Moon" next door so envious it made them cry.

In previous experiments, Bai Li had already confirmed that campfires could burn indefinitely and continuously release heat, as long as they did not come into contact with rainwater, or even exist directly in water while isolated from the air.

Like I said before, give me a backpack full of campfires, and I'll create a real-life Flaming Mountain!

Therefore, fuel is in short supply, since charcoal requires wood to burn, and coal is simply impossible to mine.

But thermal energy will never be lacking!

"We'll accept all this salt, and we'll exchange it for dye. What do you think?" Bai Li suggested.

"Of course, I'll do whatever Young Master Bai says!" Yang Heyu nodded without hesitation, barely able to suppress the smile on his face.

Even if Bai Xianjun gave him nothing and just gave him the salt for free, he wouldn't have any problem with it.

He felt absolutely overwhelmed by his victory!

He originally thought he would be skinned alive, but instead he was given a job as a Celestial Lord. If he did it well, his family and descendants could move into the Celestial Realm.

All the hard work and struggle we put in is ultimately for the purpose of planting good trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade.

He traveled all over China with his father, and even visited the capital city. He originally thought the lives of the people there were already quite good.

But it's nothing compared to this Immortal Realm.

"Okay, you can discuss the specifics of the salt and dye exchange with Miao Zhiming." Bai Li couldn't wait to get back and get the emeralds so she could trade everything on the wandering merchant's exchange list.

"Yes, I understand!" Yang Heyu nodded.

After Bai Li left, Yang Heyu looked at Miao Zhiming with a complicated expression.

I was scammed.

But why do I feel like I was actually fooled this time?

He shook his head slightly, his eyes shining with heartfelt gratitude and respect. He took a deep breath and bowed solemnly, saying, "Yang Heyu, thank you, Young Master Miao!"

In Bai Xianjun's eyes, only this fox scholar, who was using the alias "Young Master Qiao," could gain Bai Xianjun's favor.

Miao Zhiming is Qiao Mincai's real name.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Miao Zhiming asked with a slight smile, "You were quite frightened just now!"

"If it were for the goods, Young Master Miao could have simply taken action and ended our lives long ago when I harbored evil intentions, with that magical artifact by my side."

"Young Master Miao has given us the opportunity to meet the Immortal Lord. Hearing the Dao in the morning is enough to make one willing to die in the evening. I have received an immense opportunity to become an immortal. I will never forget this kindness."

"I'm not doing this for you guys," Miao Zhiming said slowly, shaking his head.

"The result is good; does the process even matter?" Yang Heyu continued, "Please tell me, young master, what do you need me to do?"

Since Miao Zhiming spared their lives, he must have had something for them to do from the beginning.

"It's very simple. Wherever you go, spread the word about what you've seen and heard. Inquire about any talented individuals living in poverty in each county. If they're passing by and willing to come along, bring them back. Also, collect all kinds of plant seeds. If you find any rare animals, bring them back alive—just two will do!"

As early as after Yang Heyu laid out the goods, Miao Zhiming had already guessed that these people were smugglers of salt.

His original plan was to have Yang Heyu and the others undergo labor reform first.

Having met the immortal lord, he didn't believe these people would still dare to cause trouble.

Then let them go out and continue their traveling business.

These people have traveled all over the country and passed through various places. Now that the Immortal Lord is in charge, it is already a bit difficult for him to manage the things that need to be managed by himself. Chengcheng has also just experienced the invasion of bandits, and there are too few good things in the city.

What they gave the immortal lord was far too little!

This left Miao Zhiming with a lingering, inexplicable sorrow.

Among the immortals of the lower realm, there has only been one, the White Immortal Lord.

Every day when he woke up in bed and saw the mushroom-shaped wall, he felt a sense of being in another world.

What will happen if the immortal lord leaves?

Bai Xianjun doesn't need their faith, but they do.

Without Bai Xianjun, this place would instantly crumble.

Even though Bai Xianjun had told him that he would not leave, Miao Zhiming still felt vaguely uneasy.

He needs to do more for Bai Xianjun!

"It seems that Immortal Lord Bai needs merchants. If you encounter any fellow merchants, tell them about this place. Don't keep it a secret," Miao Zhiming added.

"By the way, from now on you can just call me Brother Miao. In this place, there is only one person who is qualified to be called Young Master!" he said decisively.

"Yes, Brother Miao, I understand!" Yang Heyu said, cupping his hands in greeting.

……

Four pufferfish buckets, seven spruce seedlings, ten water-drop stone cones, and ten root-entwining soils.

The total cost was sixty-five emeralds.

Four spruce saplings would have been enough, but just in case, Bai Li bought them all.

Anyway, there are plenty of emeralds.

Moreover, the experience gained from the transactions fully replenished his already critical experience points, and now that he has leveled up again, his range of movement has tripled!

Thanks to the efforts of the villagers, an artificial lake has been built next to Liujia Village, where fishermen can fish.

Bai Li released the pufferfish into the lake; real fish can increase fishing efficiency, and pufferfish can be considered real fish.

I can only say that we were very lucky this time, as the majority of the transactions in the transaction list were useful.

I never expected that the merchant, who is considered useless in the game, could play such a significant role.

Next, we need to hurry up and create an infinite lava pool!

Bai Li hurriedly used iron ingots to synthesize five alchemy cauldrons, and then built a platform three meters above the ground using raw stones, sealing it off with raw stones.

Place the lava in the center, and then place the dripping stone cone and the cauldron below the round stone.

Red magma dripped from the dripping stone cone into the alchemy cauldron. Bai Li knew that the infinite magma was ready.

Next, all you need to do is wait for the lava to fill the entire cauldron before you can put it in an iron bucket.

Hell's not far away!
