After coming out from Grandmaster Shopkeeper’s small stone fortress, Jia Abandon was still a little disbelieving that Mo Wuji was able to make Grandmaster Shopkeeper take out his storage ring, which she would never have dared to imagine if it was before.
“I really didn’t expect that Master Shopkeeper would really give you his storage ring.”After calming down, Jialu was sighing.
Mo Wuji smiled, “We are both beneficiaries of this transaction, that ring can only work in this place.Whereas, my book, the Spatial Brief Theory, is a treasure that one can never get enough of.”
Jia Abandon nodded, Mo Wuji was right, something like the Spatial Brief Treatise, if it was anywhere else, a storage ring would definitely not be able to be exchanged.
“Fellow Daoist Jia Abandon, how many times a month does the allocation of mines usually happen?”Mo Wuji obtained the storage ring and immediately wanted to go out and search for black stones.He wanted to cultivate with the help of the spirit stone fragments and raise his strength as soon as possible.The simplest and most direct way to obtain spirit stone fragments in this place was to dig for black stones.
“In most cases, it’s three times a month, and each time you go to the mine, you’ll be notified on your bracelet.”Jia Abandon replied.
Mo Wuji glanced at his bracelet, it was indeed written more clearly on the bracelet that the mine would be assigned three days later.
Seeing Mo Wuji looking at his bracelet, Jia Abandon continued, “You don’t have to go so early when the mine is allocated after three days.”
“Why?”Mo Wuji looked at Jia Abandon in doubt, but he knew that the earlier he went, the better the allocated mining area would be.Even though he had no intention of going to the mine, he still didn’t understand Jia Abandon’s words though.
Jia Abandon smiled to himself, ”Every organisation has a default rule, even if you are the first to go, with your seniority, you won’t be able to go to the best mining area.Even if you are the first to look for a partner, you will find that you can’t find a companion to work with, under the default rules, there is no one to work with you.”
“I can look for you?”Mo Wuji said.
Jia Abandoned shook his head, “That’s only once, after we succeed the first time, there will never be a second time, we’ll soon be ostracised from the Everlasting Sect.That’s why going to the early assigned mines is good, and it’s not for everyone.”
Mo Wuji was speechless, it seemed fair, but in fact it wasn’t.It was true that where there were people, there was a jianghu, and where there was a jianghu, fairness did not exist.
“We can’t go too late either, we can’t go to the best mines, we can still go to the mines on the second rung of the ladder.As long as you have the ability to be able to maintain that search for black stones, we will soon make a fortune.”Jia Abandon explained.
Mo Wuji shook his head and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Jia Abandon, I don’t know how capable you are.So how about we wait for your abilities to manifest before we start the specific split between us?”
Without hesitation, Jia Abandon said, “Good, I actually mean the same thing.”
In fact for Jia Abandon, she was equally unaware of what Mo Wuji’s abilities were.It was a little out of place for the two of them to discuss splitting it now.
“I have another idea, and that is that I don’t intend to go to the Eternal Life Sect to allocate mining areas, I intend to go to the waste mining areas.Those better waste mine areas, I hope you can take me there to have a look.”Mo Wuji said as he looked at Jia Abandon.
“Waste mining areas?You want to steal ores?”Jia Abandon looked at Mo Wuji in surprise, even though there were quite a few people who stole ores, the fact was that very few actually succeeded.Sometimes several days would go by without being able to find a single piece of black stone.
“Don’t say it so harshly, we are going to check the mine again.”Although he knew that stealing ore here was normal and that no one was stopping him, Mo Wuji just sounded awkward.
Jia Abandonment said with a straight face, “Fellow Daoist Mo, many new arrivals think like you, but soon enough, they will honestly join an organisation and then honestly go digging for minerals.After every mine is scrapped, the black stone in that mine is basically searched out, and even if there are some that slip through the net, they are very few.Most of the cultivators who steal ore are wasting their time and energy for nothing.”
“But I still want to go check out the waste mine area.”Mo Wuji replied.
Jia Abandoned laughed, “Fellow Daoist Mo, you’ve actually walked into a misconception.Think about it, you have a storage ring, even if you dig up ten black stones, you only need to take out two when the time comes.Therefore, the distribution scheme of the Half Immortal Domain and the Zheng Qi Sect doesn’t affect us.”
How could Mo Wuji not have thought of this, he had been to the Nonce Mining Area.In a few days, he had only found seven black stones.In other words, the poorly allocated mining area was basically devoid of any good mines.He wanted to check out the top blackstone mines, even if they were waste mines, it didn’t make much of a difference to him.This was because a few feet below, it was a completely unexplored mining area to him.
“I just want to go and take a look, you take me to the best mining area.”Mo Wuji still insisted on his opinion.
Seeing that Mo Wuji was so insistent, Jia Abandonment had no choice but to say, “Fine, then I’ll first take you to the A Word 6 Mining Area.That place was one of the earliest mining areas, which had long been deserted for many years and was also the best mining area.I heard that there was once someone who had found thousands of black stone colours at one time in the A 6 Character Mining Area.Later on, there were also quite a few people who went to the A 6 Character Mining Area to steal black stones, only that the ones who were able to reap the rewards were almost non-existent.It’s because almost every inch of that mining area has been dug up.”
“Let’s just go to the A Word 6 Mining Area, and let’s go now.”Mo Wuji made a snap decision, he was curious to know if there were still black stones present underneath a few feet of those good mining areas.
Mo Wuji had shown his strength and ability, and as Jia Abandonment was going to co-operate with Mo Wuji, he naturally wouldn’t object on such matters.What’s more, there were still a few days left for the next mine allocation.
……
Three hours later, Mo Wuji and Jia Abandon stopped.In front of him was still a patch of black soil, the difference was that there were still some reddish mud and rocks vaguely in this patch of black soil.
“This is the A-6 Mining Area?”Mo Wuji asked as he looked at the blackness in front of him, this black soil seemed to have really been turned over.
Jia Abandoned replied, “Yes, the A Character Mining Area is the best mining area, and the higher the number the higher the stock of black stones.The A6 Mining Area, was once one of the top mining areas in the Half Immortal Domain.”
Mo Wuji had already entered the mining area, and his divine thoughts swept out to confirm that there were no remaining cultivators present in the surroundings.
The divine thoughts of the God Storage Complex were also penetrated by Mo Wuji into the black soil under his feet, and after half a pillar of incense, Mo Wuji discovered the first black stone.However, this black stone was stored nearly five zhang below his feet, and Mo Wuji didn’t tell Jiahuang about it.
He really didn’t have much interest in digging up the black stone that was five zhang below this kind of black earth.
Jia Abandon just followed behind Mo Wuji, she didn’t even penetrate her divine sense to search for the black stone.Searching for black stones in this kind of place, she wouldn’t do such useless endeavours.After Mo Wuji felt that there was indeed no ore to be found in the waste mine, she would discuss with Mo Wuji what kind of mine she would obtain in the Everlasting Sect three days later.
Mo Wuji did not walk fast or slow all the way, and just like that, an hour passed quickly.
This place was indeed worthy of being the A Character Mining Area, in just a short period of time, he had discovered seventeen black stones.Back when he was in the Nonce Mining Area, there were no such dense black stones.
Much to Mo Wuji’s disappointment, none of these seventeen black stones were what he wanted, the shallowest one of these black stones was more than three zhang close to four zhang.He felt that it was very uneconomical and it was too much of a waste of energy to dig like this.What Mo Wuji was thinking was that it would be best to find a large swathe of black stones concentrated in the same place, so as to save time and effort.
“Fellow Daoist Mo, in fact, even if you find a few more days, this place will still be the same.This place has long been rummaged through over and over again, it’s hard to find new black stones ……”
Seemingly sensing Mo Wuji’s disappointment, Jialu, who was on the side, advised once again.
Mo Wuji was just about to say that he had already found black stones, it was just that the distribution was too scattered when a snowflake-like arrangement of black stones appeared under his divine thoughts.After a rough count, there were actually thirty of them.And it wasn’t deep, just over four feet and close to five feet.
“Start digging right here.”Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts locked onto the thirty ores and pointed at the place at his feet and said.
“Ah……” Jia Abandoned looked at Mo Wuji in doubt, this place had obviously been dug once, and he still had to start digging from here?
Mo Wuji didn’t explain, he had already taken out the black stone shovel and started digging the black soil.Driven by Yuan Power, the Black Stone Shovel’s effect was indeed much stronger than his Tian Ji Stick and spear.It could dig out a foot square of black soil in one go, and it didn’t need to be enchanted with spells.
Seeing Mo Wuji digging, Jia Abandon could only follow Mo Wuji’s lead and dig.
The first shovel down from Jia Abandon, Mo Wuji knew that in terms of digging up black soil, Jia Abandon was much better than him.He could only dig up a square foot at a time, while Jia Abstain could dig up more than two feet at a time.
The further down this black soil was dug, the more difficult it became, and the harder it was underneath.Jia Abandon was very experienced, she was able to dig at the place where the black soil was most suitable for the shovel every time.Mo Wuji dug after her shovel, it was much more time and labour efficient.
Not bad, this partner was okay.
When Mo Wuji dug under three zhang of the black soil by himself, it would take him a day, but now with the two of them, he and Jialu, it only took them more than an hour to dig under three zhang.Not only that, the amount of effort Mo Wuji wasted was also much smaller.
“Fellow Daoist Mo, would it be too …… much to dig like this,” Jia Abandon said somewhat uncontrollably when he had dug to more than three zhang.
This kind of aimless digging of black soil was a first for her.
Mo Wuji continued to dig the black soil while saying, “Don’t worry, as long as we dig to about five zhang, we’ll know the difference.”
“Five zhang?”Jia Abandon’s hands almost shook, in the entire Half Immortal Domain, those whose divine thoughts could penetrate two zhang deep underneath this black soil were already considered to be sought-after mine searching experts.If he could penetrate to three zhang of the black soil, that was the top mine seeker here, then he didn’t even need to do it himself, as long as he moved his mouth, there would be a large pile of black stones to be distributed to him.There were only very few strong people whose divine thoughts could penetrate under three zhang and five feet, but it definitely couldn’t last.
Mo Wuji said around five zhang?Was this a lie or a ghost?
