"My name is Mo Wuji, a newbie. May I know how to address this senior sister? "After following the black robed woman out, Mo Wuji took the initiative to greet her.
When he first arrived at Half Immortal Domain, he was scammed by Lang Hao because he didn't know anything. Since this woman had teamed up with him, he naturally had to build a good relationship with her and ask for more details. After all, it was also his first time mining.
"Jia Qi." After the black clothed woman casually replied with a name, she looked meaningfully at Mo Wuji's empty basket, but she did not say anything.
What a weird name. Mo Wuji could tell that this woman did not like to talk much. Even though he really wanted to ask a few more questions, he did not want to provoke her. Once they reached the mining area, he would see how she searched for blackstone ores. He could follow behind her and learn from her.
At the entrance of Half Immortal Domain, there was a huge flying ship. Many cultivators were lining up to board the flying ship. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi also followed behind the crowd to board the ship.
The position of the ship was very clear, and there were signs for each area. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi were in Mining Area F. Hence, they could only sit at the Mining Area F.
Mo Yue waited for roughly two hours before the flying ship shuddered. It charged into the sky from the outskirts of Half Immortal Domain. Soon, it had left Half Immortal Domain far behind.
Other than Jia Qi, Mo Wuji did not recognise anyone else on the flying ship. Moreover, he could not cultivate here, so before he reached the mining area, he could only sit here and wait.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept outwards. Other than the pitch black land below, the surrounding air was also very turbid. It was far from being as clean and clear as the Half Immortal Domain.
Half a day later, Mo Wuji could not help but ask, "Senior Sister Jia Qi, I want to ask you about a person. His name is Qiao Aolun. Have you heard of him?"
"No." Jia Qi's reply was very simple. After these two words, she didn't say anything else.
Qiao Aolun was the first Star Lord of the Star King Mountain. According to the records of the Star King Mountain, Qiao Aolun had ascended through the void. If the purpose of ascending was to dig ores here, then Qiao Aolun was likely to be in this place.
Seeing that Jia Qi had no intention to continue speaking, Mo Wuji couldn't be bothered to ask Meng Yinsan and co. any further. Firstly, Meng Yinsan and co. were involved in Half Moon Prison. Moreover, Meng Yinsan killed a deacon of Half Moon Prison and escaped. This even involved some obscure matters. He wasn't familiar with Jia Qi so it was best not to ask such questions.
After the spaceship flew for another day, it kept hearing that they had arrived at a certain zone, and people jumped out of the spaceship one after another. After another four hours, Mo Wuji finally heard an announcement from the flying ship, "We have arrived at District F."
Following this announcement, the cultivators in his area stood up one after another and walked to the exit of the spaceship. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi followed behind the crowd and leapt out.
Landing on the ground, what entered his eyes was a boundless black wilderness. At this place, Mo Wuji finally felt the traces of an array.
This black wilderness was divided into many regions, and in front of each region was written the number "Ren".
Evidently, this was not Jia Qi's first time here. She followed the marking in front of Mining Area F. Mo Wuji followed behind her. After about half an incense's time, she stopped.
In front of Mo Wuji was a sign with the words' Mining Area 5109 '.
Jia Qi glanced at Mo Wuji, then hastened her footsteps into this mining area. Mo Wuji followed behind, and entered this mining area. His spiritual will could clearly see that after he and Jia Qi entered, the light at the entrance of the mining area lit up.
"You can move around by yourself now. Five days later, head to the place where we came from and board the flying ship." Jia Qi said indifferently as she looked at Mo Wuji, who was carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
Mo Wuji was momentarily stunned, and after a few breaths of time, he said, "Senior apprentice sister Jia Qi, I heard that digging for blackstones requires the cooperation of two people …"
"There's no need." Jia Qi directly interrupted Mo Wuji's words, "Firstly, you are unable to cooperate with me to dig for blackstones. Secondly, I don't need to cooperate with you. The blackstones that I dig can only be used by myself, and cannot be shared with you. "
Mo Wuji was speechless. This woman was afraid that he would take advantage of her. Even on Earth, he, Mo Wuji, would never take advantage of others. But here, he would take advantage of a woman.
"Dao Friend Jia Qi, I have never dug for blackstones before, and I want to see how you do it. If I am unable to dig, I promise that I will not take advantage of you. If you know the use of blackstones … "
Before Mo Wuji could finish his sentence, Jia Qi waved her hand, "I also don't know, there's no need to follow me."
Following which, she couldn't even be bothered to reply to Mo Wuji as she turned and hurried into the depths of Mining Area F5109.
She was laughing coldly in her heart. She really couldn't understand how Mo Wuji entered the Longevity Sect. Hearing that she wasn't going to let him take advantage of her, he immediately changed the way he addressed her as dao friend. She despised such people the most.
Mo Wuji shook his head speechlessly. This woman acted as though she was afraid that he would take advantage of her, so there was naturally no need for him to be cold-shouldered. It was just like how he could address Lou Chuanhe as a senior, but address Bian Shuangbi, who was more experienced than Lou Chuanhe, as a dao friend.
He didn't want such a senior apprentice sister. He couldn't even address her as such.
Another ten people flew past Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn't recognise any of them, but he could tell that they weren't from the Longevity Sect.
Without any companions, Mo Wuji could only search by himself. He had never searched for blackstones before, and he didn't know what blackstones were. He could only rely on his spiritual will.
Two hours later, Mo Wuji knew why blackstones weren't easy to find. Even though this place was vast and boundless, it was filled with pitch black soil and rocks. It was truly difficult for his spiritual will to search for blackstones that were similarly pitch black in this pitch black soil.
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that he realised that his spiritual will could only penetrate about 3 meters into this black soil. Any deeper and his sea of consciousness would start to hurt. If he tried to forcefully extend it, his sea of consciousness might even collapse. The only good thing was that this could temper his sea of consciousness, allowing it to grow bigger and his spiritual will to become more resilient.
However, Mo Wuji knew that he wasn't here to temper his sea of consciousness, but to search for blackstones. Moreover, to temper his sea of consciousness, he needed large amounts of Spirit Strengthening Pills.
Spirit Strengthening Pills could recover his sea of consciousness, but they were merely low grade spiritual pills. Now that he was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, without tens of Spirit Strengthening Pills, it wouldn't be of any use.
A day passed just like that. There was no need to talk about digging blackstones, Mo Wuji didn't even see what a blackstone looked like.
On the afternoon of the second day, Mo Wuji gave up on the idea of searching for blackstones. He decided to find other people first, and see how they dug for blackstones.
After wandering around for another half a day, Mo Wuji finally saw two cultivators digging for blackstones. He hurried over.
When the two saw Mo Wuji approaching, they became a little more cautious. Even though the division of the mining area made it rare for people to snatch blackstones, it didn't mean that it wouldn't happen.
"Greetings, two dao friends. Because I've just arrived, I don't know how to find blackstones. May I ask two dao friends how to find blackstones?" Mo Wuji bowed respectfully and asked.
"Where's your partner?" One of the cultivators looked at Mo Wuji suspiciously.
Mo Wuji could only explain, "My partner felt that my abilities were limited, so he went alone."
The two didn't mind. There were many people here who felt that their partners weren't good enough, so they went alone.
"Blackstones are usually hidden 3 to 30 meters underground. The deeper you go, the more chances you have to find blackstones. Under normal circumstances, one person would use his spiritual will to lock onto a blackstone, while the other would dig for it. "This cultivator didn't hide anything. This was something that everyone knew.
"There's still a need to lock onto it?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment.
The cultivator that answered Mo Wuji chuckled, "Of course. Blackstones have their own spirituality. The moment they are touched by spiritual will, they can easily escape."
After answering Mo Wuji's question, the two left swiftly. To them, a newcomer like Mo Wuji didn't have much value in befriending him.
Mo Wuji calmed down. No wonder he couldn't find any blackstones. His spiritual will could only reach slightly more than 3 meters. If he was lucky, he might be able to find a blackstone. But if he found a blackstone, he would have to dig for it. That would be too busy.
From the looks of it, the black soil here was very hard. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji grabbed his Tian Ji Pole and casually struck it. Indeed, he only dug out a small piece of the ground.
My cultivation is still too low. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. His spiritual will could only reach slightly more than 3 meters into the black soil. However, he didn't mind. This place originally had the effect of tempering one's spiritual will. As long as he stayed here for tens of years, his spiritual will would get stronger and stronger. Naturally, the radius of his spiritual will would also increase.
However, he also had an advantage that others couldn't compare to. He had the spirit storage channel. His spirit storage channel's spiritual will directly entered the ground through the meridians at the soles of his feet. In just a few moments, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised.
Because his spirit storage channel wasn't controlled by his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji's spiritual will could directly reach about 5 to 6 meters underground. This was just the beginning. As long as he familiarized himself with the environment here, his spirit storage channel's spiritual will might be able to reach more than 10 meters underground.
Even if he tempered his spiritual will further, he wouldn't be able to reach this level right?
Mo Wuji calmed his heart. As he moved forward, he directly used his spirit storage channel to search for blackstones. The depletion of spiritual will from his spirit storage channel could be replenished through his sea of consciousness. As long as he didn't use his spiritual will from his sea of consciousness to directly search for blackstones, it would be fine.
In just four hours, Mo Wuji stopped. His spirit storage channel found six blackstones that were connected together. Even though these six blackstones looked similar to the surrounding soil, Mo Wuji was sure that they were blackstones. He had never touched blackstones with his hands before, but his spiritual will had come into contact with them.
These six blackstones were about 10 meters above the ground. Moreover, Mo Wuji could indeed feel that when these blackstones came into contact with his spiritual will, they started to tremble slightly. He didn't dare to retract his spiritual will. He was afraid that if he did, these six blackstones would escape.
