"Does refining the Soul Wood Pill require a gold-attribute alchemist?" Mo Wuji blurted out.

He had taken a jade slip from Yan Huimeng of Tianchi Mountain Manor. It was clearly inscribed that a large number of gold-attribute alchemists from True Star had been taken away by Wan Xing from the Immortal Pill Valley of the True Morrow Continent. This included his grandfather, Mo Tiancheng.

He had always been puzzled as to why so many gold-attribute alchemists were being taken away. Now, he finally understood that Wan Xing must be connected to the Half Immortal Domain. Taking away the gold-attribute alchemists could only have one purpose: to refine the Soul Wood Pill.

He had a blood relationship with Mo Tiancheng. Now that he knew about Mo Tiancheng's situation, he definitely couldn't ignore it.

"Of course, otherwise, do you think the Soul Wood Pill would be so precious?" Seeing Mo Wuji's exclamation, Jia Qi assumed that Mo Wuji was shocked by the requirements for refining the Soul Wood Pill.

Mo Wuji didn't immediately ask if Wan Xing was also here. Even if he were to ask, he would have to deduce it indirectly.

"Fellow cultivator Jia Qi, why are you telling me this?" Mo Wuji calmed down. He didn't believe that Jia Qi would suddenly be so kind as to tell him these things.

Jia Qi said calmly, "I need your help. Because the amount of black stones I mine each time is the least, no one wants to team up with me. Also, with a partner, no one will casually snatch the black stones when they are found."

"So you want to continue teaming up with me next time?" Mo Wuji said indifferently. He had the Storage Meridian Network and didn't want to team up with Jia Qi at all.

"That's right. You also know that apart from me, probably no one in the entire Half Immortal Domain will team up with you. Without someone teaming up with you, you won't survive here for more than half a year. If you don't believe me, you can try circulating your spiritual energy and see if there is a kind of sharp wood aura in your spiritual meridians." Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji, her tone very calm.

Mo Wuji secretly reversed his meridians. Sure enough, he detected a trace of wood element aura in his meridians that he had never noticed before. Could this be the sharp wood aura?

Mo Wuji frowned slightly, accelerating the reversal of his spiritual energy. At the same time, the Toxic Cleansing Meridian Network also began to reverse. In just a breath's time, that trace of wood element aura was swept away by the Toxic Cleansing Meridian Network and turned into pure spiritual energy that scattered throughout Mo Wuji's meridians.

So this thing is also a kind of poison, Mo Wuji thought, greatly relieved. Even if he didn't have the Soul Wood Pill, he wouldn't be afraid of the sharp wood aura here. As expected, it was best to create your own cultivation method. This Reversal Immortal Mortal Technique was definitely far beyond ordinary cultivation methods.

Seeing Mo Wuji frown, Jia Qi said unhurriedly, "I believe you have already sensed the sharp wood aura, right? Teaming up with me, I can't guarantee that you will have spirit stones for cultivation, but at least I can prevent the sharp wood aura from petrifying your spiritual meridians."

Mo Wuji knew that he didn't have spiritual meridians, and because he possessed the Toxic Cleansing Meridian Network, even if his meridians were petrified, he wouldn't be afraid of the sharp wood aura here. He didn't immediately reject Jia Qi. He felt that this woman must be extraordinary to be able to mine black stones on her own.

"May I ask how long a Soul Wood Pill can last?" Mo Wuji asked extremely calmly.

Seemingly sensing Mo Wuji's calmness and composure, Jia Qi was slightly surprised, "It depends on whether you cultivate or the extent of your cultivation. If you spend most of your time cultivating every day, then you will absorb more sharp wood aura. In that case, you will need more Soul Wood Pills. At most, you will need more than ten pills a month. If you don't cultivate at all and just maintain your strength, then one Soul Wood Pill will be enough for two months. And one black stone can be exchanged for three Soul Wood Pills…"

Mo Wuji nodded, "That is to say, three spirit stone fragments can be exchanged for a Soul Wood Pill?"

Jia Qi shook her head, "If you buy a Soul Wood Pill with spirit stone fragments, you will need ten of them, and even then, it will be the lowest grade Soul Wood Pill. Therefore, except for a very few people, no one usually uses spirit stone fragments to buy Soul Wood Pills."

Jia Qi didn't need to explain, Mo Wuji already understood that the value of black stones was definitely more than ten spirit stone fragments, and the difference was not small.

"Then how many black stones can you obtain each time? If we cooperate, how will we divide the spoils?" Mo Wuji thought of the black stone that had escaped. He felt that it might not be a bad thing to find someone to cooperate with. He wouldn't have a problem finding black stones, but the problem was that he didn't have enough strength to mine black stones on his own.

Jia Qi shook her head speechlessly when she heard Mo Wuji's words. She said indifferently, "You have no choice. If you want to survive, you can only cooperate with me. As for the division, I'm sorry, there is none. I can only provide you with one Soul Wood Pill each month."

Mo Wuji laughed in anger, "That means I can only obtain one black stone every three months? May I ask, fellow cultivator Jia Qi, how many black stones can you obtain each time?"

Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji, a hint of speechless mockery in her eyes, "That's none of your business. I did want to allocate a mining area by finding you, but I don't necessarily need your help. In other words, I'm helping you."

"Then forget it. I don't need your help. Farewell." Mo Wuji turned around and left. He had the Storage Meridian Network and didn't need to come to an undeveloped mining area. He could go to any place with black stones, even an abandoned mining area.

Jia Qi was slightly stunned. She thought she had made it clear that Mo Wuji could only survive by cooperating with her, but she didn't expect Mo Wuji to ignore her.

"Then how do you want to divide the spoils?" Jia Qi quickened her pace and landed beside Mo Wuji. Without cooperation, it would indeed be difficult for her to be assigned a mining area.

"One-nine split. If you are willing, we will be partners in the future." Mo Wuji slowed down.

"Okay, it's a one-nine split." Jia Qi nodded. Hearing Mo Wuji's words, her impression of Mo Wuji improved a lot. At least Mo Wuji wasn't greedy.

Mo Wuji knew from this woman's expression and attitude that she had misunderstood. He sighed and continued, "It's me taking nine and you taking one."

"You…" Jia Qi was stunned by Mo Wuji's words. She had seen many shameless and self-righteous people, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as Mo Wuji.

An Human Immortal cultivator, who probably couldn't even dig through the black soil here, actually wanted to take ninety percent of the spoils when teaming up with her.

"So, you obtained a lot of black stones this time?" Jia Qi asked, completely giving up on the idea of cooperating with Mo Wuji.

"I think it should be more than you." Mo Wuji said calmly. His guess was not without basis. He knew too well how difficult it was to dig black stones. Even with the Storage Meridian Network, he had only dug up six, five of which were dug up at once by chance. He didn't believe that Jia Qi's luck was better than his.

"You really dug up black stones?" Jia Qi was stunned when she heard Mo Wuji's words and subconsciously retracted her steps to leave. In her opinion, not to mention digging up black stones, it was questionable whether Mo Wuji could even find black stones in five days.

"Naturally, so I don't necessarily need to team up with you. The Earth still turns without you." Mo Wuji didn't pay attention when he spoke, and even mentioned Earth.

Fortunately, Jia Qi didn't care about Mo Wuji's words. She focused her gaze on the basket behind Mo Wuji's back, "Fellow cultivator Mo, can you open the basket and let me take a look?"

The basket was covered with a lid that had an isolating restriction. As long as Mo Wuji didn't open it, others couldn't see inside.

Mo Wuji shook his head, "There's no need for that. I still want to thank you for telling me a lot of things. At least I didn't know about the Soul Wood Pill and the Black Stone Shovel."

Jia Qi suddenly grabbed the basket behind her and proactively opened it, saying, "I dug up two black stones."

Mo Wuji saw two black stones lying in Jia Qi's basket. He immediately looked at her with new respect. If he hadn't dug up six black stones in one go, he would have only dug up two black stones at most.

"I dug up six." Mo Wuji opened his basket and said.

Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji's basket in a daze. After a long while, she muttered, "It's really six…"

It wasn't until Mo Wuji closed the lid of the basket again that she reacted, her eyes flashing with excitement, and asked, "Fellow cultivator Mo, you don't have a Black Stone Shovel and you are alone. How did you dig up six black stones?"

Without a Black Stone Shovel, it was simply unbelievable to dig up six black stones in the Ren Mining Area in five days. Especially considering he didn't have any helpers, didn't have a Black Stone Shovel, and it was his first time in the mining area.

"That's my business, so I don't need to team up with anyone. Of course, if you agree to a one-nine split, I can consider teaming up with you. After all, two people have more strength." Mo Wuji said casually.

From his point of view, he really didn't need anyone to cooperate.

Jia Qi suddenly said, "Fellow cultivator Mo, do you know the value of these black stones?"

She finally understood why Mo Wuji didn't care about a spirit stone fragment at all. This guy was simply too good at playing dumb. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have believed that an Human Immortal in the mid-stage could dig up six black stones in the Ren Mining Area in a few days? And that was without any helpers, without a Black Stone Shovel, and it being his first time in the mining area.

Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I don't know. I also asked you, but you didn't seem interested in answering me."

Jia Qi's face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "I really don't know what these black stones are, but I know that the value of one black stone is far more than the value of ten spirit stone fragments, even more than ten thousand times."

Without Jia Qi saying it, Mo Wuji could guess that these black stones were valuable. He really didn't expect the black stones to be so valuable. More than ten thousand times meant that one black stone couldn't be bought for ten thousand spirit stone fragments. And they were currently selling them for ten spirit stone fragments.

"So what? The place to buy these black stones should only be the Half Immortal Domain, right? And if you have a large number of black stones, do you dare not sell them?" Mo Wuji asked rhetorically.

Jia Qi suddenly stared at Mo Wuji, without blinking her eyes.

Mo Wuji didn't think that this woman would have a crush on him. Just as he was about to speak, Jia Qi said in a low voice, "Fellow cultivator Mo, can I trust you?"

Mo Wuji didn't know what Jia Qi meant. He said directly, "I'm not one for beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say."

Jia Qi nodded, "Actually, this is also related to your own interests. If you can really dig up a large number of black stones, I'll take you to see someone."

"Who?" Mo Wuji asked subconsciously.

"A peerless top-tier artifact refiner." Jia Qi lowered her voice and said each word carefully.
