Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 416: A Gigantic Vortex
Mo Wuji immediately sensed the change in Jia Qi, and he immediately said, "Friend Jia Qi, don't be distracted."
He had to use his spiritual will to lock onto thirty black stones and also dig the black soil, which was already quite difficult. If Jia Qi was distracted, it would be an even greater drain on him. Besides, although this place was remote, who could guarantee that no one would come? Once someone came, it would not be a good thing for him.
"Okay, I understand." Jia Qi quickly withdrew her spiritual will and focused on digging the black soil. Another hour or so passed. The black stone shovel in Mo Wuji's hand suddenly twisted forcefully, and at the same time, with a surge of Yuan Power, dozens of black ore flew up from the ground and landed in the basket behind him.
At this moment, Jia Qi also saw that what Mo Wuji had brought out were black stones. She stopped the black stone shovel in her hand and looked at the basket behind Mo Wuji in shock, unable to say a word for a long time.
There were a full thirty black stones in that basket, and she and Mo Wuji had only spent half a day digging out thirty black stones?
Mo Wuji raised his hand and refilled the pit where he had dug the black stones, and with a press of Yuan Power, this place became ordinary black soil again.
"Friend Mo, this is thirty..." Only then did Jia Qi react and said, staring at the basket behind Mo Wuji in shock.
Mo Wuji nodded, "That's right, this time we harvested thirty black stones. In fact, I found some scattered black stones before, but I was too lazy to take them. Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste of time."
Jia Qi immediately became excited, "Friend Mo, are you saying that you can really find black stones within five zhang?"
Mo Wuji did not hide it. Anyway, everyone would continue to cooperate in the future, "That's right, I can indeed find black stones within five zhang. Friend Jia Qi, I have already seen your ability to dig black stones. Now let's talk about the distribution issue."
In fact, when Mo Wuji's Storage Meridian stretched to its limit, he could discover black stones within a range of six to seven zhang.
What was there to talk about? Don't say a 10-90 split, even if she got half a percent, she would agree. She was sure that as long as Mo Wuji said that he could detect five zhang beneath the black soil, no one in the entire Half Immortal Domain would be unwilling to cooperate with him, even if Mo Wuji only took out half a percent.
She believed that Mo Wuji would not reveal his ability in the Half Immortal Domain. That was indeed infinitely glorious, but it was also infinitely dangerous. Would the Half Immortal Domain allow such an expert at finding black stones to work alone?
"In the future, I will occupy 70%, and you will occupy 20%," Mo Wuji said. He knew that giving Jia Qi 20% was too much. But firstly, he wanted to thank Jia Qi. Without Jia Qi, his ability would be useless. Secondly, Jia Qi was a mining expert, and he needed such a helper. More importantly, only by giving enough benefits would Jia Qi keep it a secret for him.
"Ah..." Jia Qi was stunned, and then said, "That's too much."
It was indeed too much. If she got 20%, then she would get six of the thirty black stones just now. She had only been out for a day, and she had obtained six black stones in one day. This was simply too heaven-defying.
"I hope you don't tell anyone about my ability, not even Master Pu Zi," Mo Wuji said. This was very important.
Jia Qi immediately said, "Friend Mo, don't worry, I, Jia Qi, swear that I will never tell anyone about your ability, otherwise I will be reduced to ashes by thunder tribulation."
Mo Wuji nodded, he still trusted Jia Qi.
"Friend Jia Qi, which Star Continent are you from? To be honest, when I first heard your name, I felt it was a bit strange." Now that the two had reached a cooperation, their relationship was naturally a little different. At least here in the Half Immortal Domain, the two were allies.
Jia Qi sighed softly and said, "I am from Cheng He Star Continent. Because my family was poor and unable to survive, I was abandoned by my father when I was just born. My father threw me outside a reed field, and I happened to be picked up by my master who was passing by, so he named me Jia Qi."
Hearing Jia Qi's words, Mo Wuji was immediately silent. Newborn reeds were called Jia, no wonder she was named Jia Qi. He thought of Shu Yin, who, like her mother, was abandoned by her father. Because of Shu Yin, his feelings for Jia Qi suddenly improved a lot.
Jia Qi did not know that Mo Wuji was thinking of his lover and continued, "In fact, Master Pu Zi is the same. He was also once an ordinary mortal. His father was a blacksmith, and he owned a blacksmith shop on a prosperous street. This shop was the source of survival for his family and the lifeblood of his father. Unfortunately, because he had no power and the location of the shop was too prosperous, it was snatched away. His parents were also killed because of this, and he was lucky enough to escape with his life and changed his name to Pu Zi. One was to commemorate his parents, and the other was to remind himself to take revenge."
"Did he take revenge?" Mo Wuji suddenly sympathized with the bearded artifact refiner.
Jia Qi nodded, "Yes, he killed the people who snatched his family's shop back then. Even that empire was destroyed by him. The reason why Master Pu Zi chose artifact refining was because he missed his father."
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Indeed, everyone had their own sadness. Whether it was him, Shu Yin, Jia Qi, or Pu Zi, it was the same.
"Friend Mo, you said earlier that you get 70% and I get 20%, isn't there still 10% that hasn't been allocated?" After talking with Mo Wuji for a while, Jia Qi also felt that the relationship between her and Mo Wuji was closer. The reason why she asked was because she knew that Mo Wuji's extra 10% was not for Master Pu Zi.
In her feeling, Mo Wuji was a very clear-cut person. If the transaction with Pu Zi was over, then he would no longer take out a share.
Mo Wuji replied, "I have another friend. I estimate that he will come here in the next few days, and that 10% is for him."
Mo Wuji was talking about Lou Chuanhe. He left 10% for Lou Chuanhe, not because Lou Chuanhe was the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, and he was also the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain. It was because he greatly admired Lou Chuanhe as a person. A powerhouse who risked his life for True Star was more in line with his temperament than Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao.
Jia Qi did not ask any further. This was Mo Wuji's business. She would not care even if this 10% was not distributed.
…
With one cooperation, Jia Qi and Mo Wuji were even more tacit in the subsequent process of digging black stones. Mine Area Jia was indeed a first-class mine area. In the process of Mo Wuji finding black stones afterwards, the least amount he found was three black stones. Mo Wuji directly skipped anything below three.
In just five days, the two of them dug seven hundred and thirty-eight black stones. The most they found was a place with one hundred and two black stones.
"Friend Jia, I plan to go back and exchange some broken spirit stones, and then go into seclusion for a period of time." Jia Qi was getting more and more excited as she dug, but Mo Wuji didn't want to continue digging. He needed to go back to cultivate. No matter how precious these black stones were, he would exchange some for broken spirit stones and go into seclusion.
The two of them were mining in Mine Area Jia, and Mo Wuji was the one in charge. If Mo Wuji wanted to go back into seclusion, Jia Qi would naturally have to go back as well.
"Friend Mo, if you are going into seclusion, you can exchange for more Rongmu Pills." Jia Qi reminded him. She was also very satisfied. In just a few days, she had been allocated one hundred and fifty black stones. So many black stones, in the past, she wouldn't be able to dig them even in a few years.
Mo Wuji's Detoxification Meridian could directly dissolve the sharp wood aura, so he naturally didn't need Rongmu Pills. However, Jia Qi's words reminded him that even if he didn't need this kind of pill, he should buy some.
"I know, but exchanging for broken spirit stones is too dark. The black stones that we worked so hard to dig can only be exchanged for ten broken spirit stones each, sigh..." Mo Wuji grabbed a black stone and was a little speechless.
Jia Qi smiled slightly, "I know a place where you can exchange black stones underground, and one black stone can be exchanged for fifteen to twenty broken spirit stones."
Mo Wuji remembered that some people didn't want broken spirit stones when handing in black stones, but kept the black stones, it turned out that they were going to exchange them underground. With this kind of place to exchange black stones, he would naturally not choose to exchange them with the Half Immortal Domain.
"Then what about your black stones?" Mo Wuji pointed to his ring.
"My black stones are temporarily stored with you. When you are in seclusion, I will go out to look for Qu Huang Kong Jin," Jia Qi replied.
"Okay." Mo Wuji was not polite. Jia Qi was at the Great Circle of the Earth Immortal Realm and didn't need to go into seclusion to cultivate, but he had to improve his strength. He took out five black stones from his storage ring and put them in the basket. These were prepared for exchanging broken spirit stones when he went back.
That was the good thing about going to the abandoned mine area to dig for spirit stones, he didn't have to have his basket monitored by the Half Immortal Domain.
"By the way, I want to ask you about a few people. Have you heard of a Pill Refiner named Lai Wanxing?" Mo Wuji remembered the question he wanted to ask before. He was not familiar with Jia Qi before, but now he and Jia Qi were on the same side, and he could completely ask this kind of question.
Jia Qi shook her head, "I have not heard of him."
"What about Meng Yin San?"
"Meng Yin San?" Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji in surprise, "How do you know the genius Meng Yin San?"
Mo Wuji said in surprise, "Friend Jia Qi, have you really heard of Meng Yin San?"
Jia Qi nodded, "Of course I have heard of him. Meng Yin San is a peerless powerhouse who came out of the Half Immortal Domain, a genius cultivator. He ushered in the Celestial Immortal Thunder Tribulation in the Half Immortal Domain and forcibly advanced to the Celestial Immortal Realm."
"The Half Immortal Domain can undergo tribulation to advance to the Celestial Immortal Realm?" Mo Wuji was also shocked. Could this place really be part of the Immortal Realm?
Jia Qi shook her head, "No, only a very small number of peerless geniuses who have cultivated for a short period of time have the opportunity to undergo tribulation in the Half Immortal Domain to advance to the Celestial Immortal Realm."
"Then where did he go?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly.
"I heard that these geniuses are all selected by the Immortal Realm and go to the real Immortal Realm, so they don't have to dig black stones here like us," Jia Qi said with a hint of envy in her tone.
Mo Wuji was silent again. He felt that he had fallen into a huge trap, or a huge vortex. Selected by the Immortal Realm? If he had not entered the Half Moon Prison, he would have thought that Jia Qi was telling the truth.
