Chapter 404: Searching For Blackstone
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
”I’m called Mo Wuji, newbie. How may I address this senior sister?” As he followed behind this black robed girl, Mo Wuji took the initiative to greet her.
He had just came to Half Immortal Domain, and because he didn’t know anything, he was scammed by Lang Hao. Since this girl was his team, he naturally had to form good relations with her and get some details from her. After all, this was his first time excavating for ores.
”Jia Qi.” After that black robed girl casually stated her name, she looked at Mo Wuji’s empty basket with interest. However, she didn’t say anything else.
What a weird name. Mo Wuji could see that this girl was not one of many words. Even though he wanted to ask more questions, he didn’t want to create any ill will. When they reached the mining area, he would just see how she searched for blackstone, and he would just follow suit.
At the entrance of Half Immortal Domain, there was a huge flying ship parked. Many cultivators were queuing up to enter the flying ship; Mo Wuji and Jia Qi joined the queue.
The seats on the flying ship were very clearly labelled; there were various signs for Mining Areas A, B, C, D, etc. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi were going to Mining Area F, so they could only sit at F seats.
Roughly two hours later, the flying ship started to tremble as it shot out towards the sky. Soon, Half Moon Immortal Domain was but a point in the distance.
Besides Jia Qi, Mo Wuji didn’t recognise anyone else on the flying ship. Moreover, he couldn’t cultivate on the flying ship; he could only sit around idly until they reached the mining areas.
Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will outside; not only were the lands black and murky, the surrounding air was also turbid, it was not as clean and pristine as Half Immortal Domain.
Half a day later, Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as he asked, ”Senior Jia Qi, I want to ask you about a person. He’s called Qiao Aolun, have you heard of him?”
”No.” Jia Qi’s answer was very simple. After that single word, she did not speak any further.
Qiao Aolun was the first Star Lord of Star King Mountain. According to Star King Mountain’s records, Qiao Aolun had broken through the void. If breaking through the void led to these mines, that Qiao Aolun might actually be here.
Seeing that Jia Qi did not have any intention of continuing, Mo Wuji did not bother asking about people like Meng Yinsan. Firstly, Meng Yinsan and the others were involved with Half Moon Prison. Secondly, Meng Yinsan, himself, had escaped from Half Moon Prison after killing the prison warden. This was some shady business. He was not close to Jia Qi, so it was best if he didn’t ask aboutit.
After flying for another day, Mo Wuji heard announcements that they had arrived at certain mining areas, and some people would jump out of the flying ship. After another four hours, Mo Wuji finally heard an announcement on the ship, ”We’ve arrived at Mining Area F.”
Following this announcement, all the cultivators of this area stood up, then jumped out of the exit of the flying ship. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi followed behind them.
When he landed, he was welcomed by a vast, black wilderness. Here, Mo Wuji could finally feel the faint traces of a magical array.
This black wilderness was separated into many different areas. Each areas would write their respective number.
Clearly, this was not Jia Qi’s first time here. She sped quickly along the signs while Mo Wuji followed behind her. After half an incense’s of time, she stopped.
In front of Mo Wuji, there was a sign: Mining Area 5109F.
Jia Qi glanced at Mo Wuji, then swiftly ran into this mining area. Mo Wuji continued to follow behind her, entering into this mining area. His spiritual will had seen it clearly; the moment Jia Qi and him entered, the lamp at the entrance of the mining area lit up.
”You can do whatever you want. Five days later, we’ll meet back at where we dropped off from the flying ship,” Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji and said indifferently.
Mo Wuji was instantly shocked. After a few breaths time, he said, ”Senior Jia Qi, I heard that excavating blackstone requires two people to work together…”
”No need.” Jia Qi directly interrupted Mo Wuji’s words.” Firstly, you’re unable to help me. Secondly, I don’t want to work with you. The blackstone that I dig will be for myself, I’m unable to give any to you.”
Mo Wuji was speechless; so this woman was afraid that he would take adcantage of her. Even when he was back on Earth, he would’t take advantage of people. In such a place, all the more he wouldn’t take advantage of a woman like you.
”Dao Friend Jia Qi, I’ve never excavated blackstone before, I just want to see how you do it. If I’m unable to do it, I promise that I won’t take advantage of you. If you know the uses of blackstone…”
Mo Wuji had yet to finish his words before Jia Qi started to wave her hands, ”I also don’t know. Don’t follow me.”
Thereafter, she did not continue to care about Mo Wuji, turning and speeding into the depths of Mining Area 5109F.
Inside her heart, she was sneering. She found it hard to understand how a person like Mo Wuji could enter Longevity Sect. The moment he heard that she wouldn’t let herself be exploited, he immediately changed his way of addressing her to ”dao friend”. She especially despised this kind of people.
