The moment he stepped into the Mining Area of Death, the sound of colourless leeches being burnt could constantly be heard from outside of his Scholar’s Heart shield. Abacus and Ku Ya exchanged glances and could see the shock in each other’s eyes the moment they understood what was going on.
In the next moment, the two of them started celebrating in their heart that they made the decision to join Mo Wuji and his team. Since Mo Wuji could casually walk into the Mining Area of Death unharmed, there should be no place that he couldn’t visit in the future and perhaps one day, he could even enter the Immortal Domain.
Even though there were a lot of Earthly Immortal Stage cultivators in the Half Immortal Domain, most of them were simply digging for blackstones everyday of their life so they could exchange for spirit stone slags to survive. Everyone here knew that there wouldn’t be any future staying in the Half Immortal Domain and they all wished that one day, they would be able to enter the Immortal Domain.
”I found a place with three blackstones,” After walking for over a couple of hours, Abacus finally sounded out excitedly.
He knew that they were many blackstones in the Mining Area of Death but he didn’t expect this extent of blackstones available for they had only been in here for a while. In this short period of time, he found three blackstones and they were only less than two metres deep underneath the ground.
Tong Ye heard what Abacus said and laughed out loud, ”Brother Abacus, if we were to stop and dig for three blackstones, I am afraid our Brother Mo would rather use this time to cultivate.”
”Ah…” Ku Ya and Abacus looked curiously at Mo Wuji because one shouldn’t miss out on even one blackstone available right? They really didn’t understand the meaning behind Tong Ye’s words.
Mo Wuji laughed and said, ”Dao Friend Tong Ye is right because even though we have a lot of manpower, we shouldn’t waste our time digging up three blackstones.”
Noticing how Mo Wuji was really not interested in digging up the three blackstones, Abacus sighed and didn’t continue saying anything. As he recalled how Mo Wuji was able to take out 200 blackstones in one shot previously, he guessed that Mo Wuji should have the ability to find large amount of blackstones.
Following which, he found a few more blackstones and there was a time when he found six blackstones in one area but even so, he kept his thoughts to himself and didn’t choose to say anything. Since Mo Wuji had the ability to find blackstones, he must have seen what Abacus saw and since Mo Wuji chose not to act, it would mean that the numbers were still not attractive enough for Mo Wuji.
The truth that Abacus didn’t know was that, without mentioning about the six blackstones, Mo Wuji had already found a few areas with over hundreds of blackstones within five metres of the ground but these were simply not lucrative enough for Mo Wuji to break a sweat for. In Mo Wuji’s eyes, since eight of them were going to dig simultaneously, he had to find a mine with over hundred thousand blackstones. The best scenario would be a mine with over a million blackstones, just like before.
After a day of walking, just as Ku Ya and Abacus were wondering if Mo Wuji was even interested in digging, Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks.
”Dao Friend Mo, found it?” Master Pu Zi was the first to ask.
Mo Wuji nodded, ” I will set up an array here and I predict we would be digging for about half a month because the amount of blackstones here was definitely not lesser than the previous time.”
Previously, they took over a year to dig up the blackstones because there were only Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi helping out. Presently, Mo Wuji had eight people in total including a top notched mining expert, the Tong brothers.
”But there are no blackstones here? Unless they are below the three metres depth?” Ku Ya asked suspiciously because she was slightly stronger than Abacus in finding blackstones. She could even reach a distance of slightly more than three metres which was why she grew suspicious when Mo Wuji decided to stop here.
Just as Mo Wuji started installing the array flags, he heard Ku Ya’s question and answered, ”Yes, the blackstones here are indeed a little deeper about five metres deep.”
As Mo Wuji’s cultivation level increased, his spiritual will was capable of penetrating till about nine metres beneath the black soil. The blackstones were located in slightly more shallow soil as compared to previously. Because of Mo Wuji’s stronger spiritual will, the width of the area which he could sense increased which made him more confident that he could dig up even more than the previous time.
Half a day later, Mo Wuji had already finished setting up a massive array.
Under the guidance of Mo Wuji, the eight of them started digging blackstones and the result of their work was definitely not something one person could achieve in eight days.
In just half a day, the five metres deep mine was completely dug out.
Ku Ya and Abacus were completely dumbfounded at the sight of these closely packed blackstones. The number of blackstones in front of them was even more than a year worth of output from the Half Immortal Domain.
Abacus glanced at Mo Wuji respectfully as he finally understood why Mo Wuji was not interested in the few scattered blackstones. If he was Mo Wuji, he wouldn’t waste time on the few blackstones that he found earlier on as well.
More and more blackstones emerged from the ground as their speed of digging was getting increasingly greater. In just a few days time, the eight of them had already dug out almost 1,000,000 blackstones.
…
In a place which was about a thousand metres away from the Mining Area of Death, a flying ship came to a halt and a few people descended from it. The one leading them was the Dao Lord of the Half Immortal Domain, Guang Quan. The person beside him was not Meng Tianyu but the alliance head of the Vast Desert Alliance, Qian Yue.
