Even as the walked out of Master Pu Zi’s small stone fort, Jia Qi was still in disbelief; Mo Wuji was actually able to get Master Pu Zi to give up his personal storage ring. Before the actual exchange, she wouldn’t have believed that such a thing would happen.
”I really never imagined that Master Pu Zi would really pass you the storage ring,” After she calmed down, Jia Qi sighed with emotions.
Mo Wuji laughed, ”This is merely a trade of mutual benefits. This ring could only used in a place like this, but my Brief Theory of Space is an invaluable treasure.”
Jia Qi nodded, Mo Wuji was right. For a treasure like the Brief Theory of Space, if it was somewhere else, a mere storage ring would never be able to exchange for it.
”Dao Friend Jia Qi, usually how many times would mining areas be allocated every month?” After Mo Wuji obtained the storage ring, he was raring to go out and search for blackstone. He needed spirit stone slags to raise his power rapidly. In a place like this, the most straightforward method to obtain spirit stone slags was by excavating blackstone.
”Roughly three times every month. When they are allocating mining areas, they will inform us through the bracelet,” Jia Qi replied.
Mo Wuji looked at his own bracelet. Things were written clearly on his bracelet; they would be allocating mining areas three days later.
Seeing Mo Wuji look at his bracelet, Jia Qi continued, ”For the allocation of mining areas three days later, you don’t have to go so early.”
”Why?” Mo Wuji stared at Jia Qi quizzically. He knew that going earlier would result in better mining areas. Even though he did not intend to go to those mining areas, he still didn’t understand Jia Qi’s words.
Jia Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, ”Every organisation has their own hidden rules. Even if you’re the first to go, with your qualifications, you wouldn’t be allocated the best mining areas. Even if you’re the first to find a partner, you will find that you wouldn’t be able to find a partner. According to those hidden rules, no one would want to work with you.”
”I can find you ah?” Mo Wuji said.
Jia Qi shook her head, ”That would be for the first time only. After we succeed the first time, there wouldn’t be a second time. We would soon be expelled of the Longevity Sect. So going early and getting better mining areas does not apply to everybody.”
Mo Wuji was speechless. What he thought was very fair, turned out to be untrue. Indeed, when there are people, there will be politics. As long as there are politics, there would not be fairness.
”We can’t go too late as well. We can’t get the best mining area, but we can still go for the second best. As long as you can maintain that ability to find blackstone, we would soon make a fortune,” Jia Qi explained.
Mo Wuji shook his head and said seriously, ”Dao Friend Jia Qi, I’m not clear of your abilities. So before we come up with anything specific, we need to see you display your abilities. Then, we will start, how about that?”
Jia Qi did not hesitate to say, ”Alright, I also have that same intention.”
In reality, to Jia Qi, she did not know how Mo Wuji’s ability worked. Thus, it would not be appropriate for them to discuss on how they would divide the blackstones yet.
”I have an idea. That is we won’t go to Longevity Sect to get mining areas, but go to abandoned mining areas. Which are the relatively better abandoned mines? I hope that you can bring me to take a look,” Mo Wuji looked at Jia Qi and said.
”Abandoned mining areas? You want to steal ores?” Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Even though there were quite a number of people who steal ores, the ones that actually succeed were only a few. Even in multiple days, they might not be able to find a single blackstone.
”Don’t make it sound so bad; we are merely checking the mining area,” Even though Mo Wuji knew that stealing ores was normal and not illegal, Mo Wuji felt very disturbed when he heard it.
Jia Qi said seriously, ”Dao Friend Mo, many newbies have the same idea as you. However, they soon learn that they need to honestly find a group, and honestly excavate at an allocated mining area. All the abandoned mining areas are practically completely excavated. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the nets, the number of them is extremely little. A large number of those cultivators that steal ores are merely wasting their time and their efforts.”
”But I still want to see the abandoned mining areas,” Mo Wuji responded.
Jia Qi laughed, ”Dao Friend Mo, you are actually making a wrong move. Thing about it, you have the storage ring. If you dig 10 blackstones, you just need to take two out for them. Thus, the ratios for Half Immortal Domain and Longevity Sect wouldn’t affect us much.”
How could Mo Wuji have ignored this fact. He had been to Mining Area F, and in a few days time, he only managed to find seven blackstones. In other words, the worse mining areas weren’t even good places to excavate. Thus, he wanted to look at those top graded mining areas. Even if they’re abandoned, it wouldn’t make a difference to him. Because the deeper areas of the mining areas should still be untouched territory.
”I just want to take a look. Take me to the best mining area,” Mo Wuji maintained his view.
When Jia Qi saw how obstinate Mo Wuji was, she could only say, ”Alright, I will bring you to Mining Area 6A. That was one of the earliest mining areas, and it has long been abandoned. It could also be considered the best mining area. I heard that once, someone found over 1000 blackstones at a single go. Thereafter, some people went to Mining Area 6A after it was abandoned to steal blackstones, but none of them seemed to be able to receive any rewards. Because every inch of that mining area, had already been excavated.”
”Then let’s go to Mining Area 6A, and we’ll go right now,” Mo Wuji promptly decided. He really wanted to know, in these better mining areas, were there still blackstone in the deeper regions.
