Chapter 404: Searching For Blackstone (2/2)

Mo Wuji shook his head speechlessly. Right from the start, this woman put up this indifferent mask, thinking that he would take advantage of her. Naturally, he wouldn’t behave warmly to this cold shoulder. Just like he would call Lou Chuanhe his senior, but he would address Bian Shuangbi as merely a dao friend.

This sort of senior sister, he didn’t want it. He wouldn’t even address her like so.

Ten people appeared not faraway. Mo Wuji did not recognise these people; from the looks of it, these people weren’t from Longevity Sect.

Without a partner, Mo Wuji could only start searching by himself. He had never seen blackstone before, he didn’t even know what blackstone was. He could only depend on his spiritual will.

Two hours later, Mo Wuji finally understood why blackstone was so hard to find. Even though this plot of land seemed to be vast and endless, it was completely filled with murky black rock and sand. It was indeed hard to find a similarly black and murky blackstone if he used his spiritual will to scan these black and murky rock and sand.

This was not the main point; the main point was that Mo Wuji discovered that his spiritual will could only penetrate around 3 meters into the black ground. Any further and he would feel an faint pain in his sea of consciousness. If he forcefully tried to extend his spiritual will, his sea of consciousness would even start to bubble. The only good thing was, he could use this method to temper his sea of consciousness, allowing his sea of consciousness to get bigger and his spiritual will to get tougher.

However, Mo Wuji knew that he wasn’t here to temper his sea of consciousness; he was here to search for blackstone. And to temper his sea of consciousness, he would require a large amount of Spirit Strengthening Pills.

Spirit Strengthening Pills could replenish the sea of consciousness, but it was merely an elementary grade spiritual pill. Now that he was at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he needed tens of the Spirit Strengthening Pill in order to receive even the slightest of effects.

A day passed by just like this. Not only was Mo Wuji unable to excavate any blackstone, he didn’t even get to see what blackstone looked like.

By the second day’s afternoon, Mo Wuji gave up on searching for blackstone. He decided to look for other people and see how they dug for blackstone.

After circling the area for half a day, Mo Wuji finally found two other cultivators excavating for blackstone. He hurriedly ran over.

When the two saw Mo Wuji speeding over, they started to be on guard. Because of the distribution ratios of the mining areas, forcefully snatching blackstones did not usually happen, but it did not mean that it would never happen.

”These two dao friends, because I had just arrived here, I don’t know how to find blackstone. May I ask these two dao friends if you could teach me how to search for blackstone?” Mo Wuji was very courteous as he clasped his fists and asked.

”Where’s your partner?” One of the cultivators stared at Mo Wuji doubtfully and asked.

Mo Wuji could only explain, ”My partner thinks that my abilities are limited, so she went off by herself.”

These two people did not seem to find it here. There were no small amounts of people who found that their partners were incapable and decided to work by themselves.

”Blackstones are usually found 3 to 30 meters under the ground. The deeper you go, the more likely you are to find blackstone. Under usual circumstances, one person would lock in to the blackstone with spiritual will, while the other digs.” This cultivator did not hide anything; this was all common knowledge.

”There’s a need to lock in?” Mo Wuji asked in astonishment.

That cultivator that answered Mo Wuji chuckled loudly, ”Of course. Blackstone has its own spirituality. The moment spiritual will touches it, it would quickly run away.”

After answering Mo Wuji, the two left swiftly. To them, there was not much value in befriending a newbie like Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji calmed down; no wonder why he couldn’t find any blackstone. His spiritual will could only reach 3 meters into the ground. If he was lucky, he could actually find some blackstone. But after he found the blackstone, he still had to rush and dig it out.

From the looks of it, this black ground must be very hard. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji brought out his Tian Ji Pole. With a casual swing, only a small bit of land was dug out.

My cultivation was really too low ah, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. His spiritual will could only seep in 3 meters into the ground. Still, he did not mind too much aout it, this place was able to temper his spiritual will. As long as he stayed here for a few decades, his spiritual will would get stronger, and his range would naturally get wider.

However, he had an advantage that no one else had; he had the spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji released his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel. Soon, Mo Wuji was met with a pleasant surprise.

Because his spirit storage channel was not controlled by his sea of consciousness, his spiritual will could reach up to 15 to 18 meters into the ground. And this was just the beginning. If he became more familiar with this terrain, his spiritual will might even reach 30 meters into the ground.

Even if his usual spiritual will was tempered, it wouldn’t reach such a level right?

Mo Wuji decided, as he walked around this area, he was going to start using his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will. The depletion of his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will could be replenished with his sea of consciousness. As long as he didn’t use spiritual will directly from his sea of consciousness, it would be fine.

In merely four hours, Mo Wuji stopped. His spirit storage channel had found six blackstones that were joined together. Even though these six blackstones had the same colour as the surrounding rock and sand, Mo Wuji was sure that this was blackstone. He had never touched blackstone with his hands before, but his spiritual will did interact with it before.

These six blackstones were roughly 9 meters in the ground. Indeed, when Mo Wuji’s spiritual will interacted with these blackstones, they started to tremble. He did not dare retract his spiritual will. He was worried that when he did that, these six blackstones would run away.
