Mo Wuji then realized he was the last one to arrive, which left him speechless. He had made a point to come early, yet he was still the last. Did these people arrive before dawn?

Mo Wuji's guess was quite accurate; these people had indeed arrived before dawn.

"Are you new here? Why are you so late?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table. Mo Wuji was a stranger, and being the last to arrive, he couldn't help but notice him.

Mo Wuji saw that this person was sitting at the head of the table, and he guessed that this should be the Sect Leader of the Changsheng Sect. This guy paid a lot of attention to his attire, his long hair tied into a Daoist bun, making him look energetic. In terms of cultivation, Mo Wuji felt that this guy was even stronger than the Star Wolf King.

"Mo Wuji, this is our Changsheng Sect's Sect Leader Feng. Why aren't you showing your respects?" Lang Hao hurriedly reprimanded from the side. He was already regretting bringing Mo Wuji in. Initially, he thought Mo Wuji was quick-witted, but he didn't expect him to be the last to arrive on his first day.

After scolding Mo Wuji, Lang Hao quickly bowed to the Sect Leader and explained, "Sect Leader Feng, Mo Wuji is new here. He accidentally entered the Po Xu, so his cultivation is relatively low, only in the mid-stage of the Human Immortal Realm. Seeing that he is quite clever, I brought him to the Changsheng Sect, intending for him to do some publicity for the sect."

Sect Leader Feng nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Mo Wuji. The others in the room, hearing that Mo Wuji was only at the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm, all smiled. A Human Immortal at the fourth level was indeed just there to make up the numbers, and in this place, he could only do some publicity for the Changsheng Sect.

Mo Wuji quickly cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, my name is Mo Wuji, and I am indeed new here. Because it's my first time, I didn't know I was late."

Sect Leader Feng looked at Mo Wuji meaningfully, and said faintly, "You are not late, but you arrived a little later."

Mo Wuji, seeing Sect Leader Feng's gaze and hearing his words, knew that the Sect Leader had misunderstood him. He must have thought that he was going to argue that he wasn't late, but in fact, he really didn't know if he was late. He could only keep his mouth shut, the more he said, the worse it would get.

Sect Leader Feng didn't continue to pay attention to Mo Wuji, but said in a loud voice, "Now that everyone is here, let me talk about the mining areas we have obtained this time."

The room became even quieter, everyone listening attentively to Sect Leader Feng's words.

Mo Wuji, being a newcomer, didn't know much about the Changsheng Sect organization. Or rather, Lang Hao didn't consider Mo Wuji a key member of the Changsheng Sect, so he didn't tell him many details. Now that everyone seemed to be paying attention to the Sect Leader's words, he could only stand at the back and follow suit.

Sect Leader Feng's gaze inadvertently swept over Mo Wuji, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Mo Wuji listening attentively. In fact, Mo Wuji, at the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm, really didn't need to listen.

"This time, we have obtained entry qualifications for four mining areas, namely Mining Area C-9087, with a profit-sharing ratio of 5:2:3; Mining Area D-8762, with a profit-sharing ratio of 4:2:4; Mining Area E-3104, with a profit-sharing ratio of 4:3:3; and Mining Area Ren-5109, with a profit-sharing ratio of 2:3:5."

As Sect Leader Feng's voice fell, the atmosphere in the room became lively. Many people were even rubbing their fists, as if they couldn't wait to start.

"Alas, I didn't expect there to be a C-level area this time. I came late." The cultivator standing in front of Mo Wuji sighed.

Mo Wuji quickly cupped his fists and asked, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask why you say you came late? And what do you mean by mining area?"

The cultivator was in a bad mood and glanced at Mo Wuji. Thinking that Mo Wuji was just a Human Immortal, he didn't even bother to answer.

Mo Wuji now understood that Lang Hao hadn't told him many things yesterday. This guy didn't consider him a member of the Changsheng Sect at all, probably just treating him as someone to make up the numbers.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to find someone else to ask, he heard another cultivator not far from him say, "Coming early means standing in front. Standing in front means you can be assigned to a good mining area, like the C-level and D-level areas."

Mo Wuji thanked him and quickly asked, "Then may I also ask, what does the profit-sharing ratio mean?"

Fortunately, this cultivator didn't find it annoying and continued to explain, "For example, Mining Area C-9087, with a profit-sharing ratio of 5:2:3. It means that if you mine ten black stones, five belong to the Half-Immortal Domain, two belong to the Changsheng Sect, and the remaining three are yours. The earlier the area, the more everyone wants to go."

"That's not right," Mo Wuji said in confusion, "Just now, the Sect Leader said Mining Area Ren-5109 has a profit-sharing ratio of 2:3:5. Wouldn't that be much higher than the C-level area? You can get 50%?"

"Hehe, you're new here, so you naturally don't understand. Although the profit-sharing ratio of the Ren-level mining area is high, the ore content inside is extremely low and difficult to mine. Even if you get 50%, it might not be as high as 10% of the C-level area. Our Changsheng Sect assigns mining areas based on who arrives earlier and stands further forward. The assigned mining area is also better." The cultivator who explained said with a chuckle.

Mo Wuji completely understood. No wonder these guys came so early. It turned out that it was related to their personal interests. If he had known, he would have been the first to come, wouldn't he have been assigned to the C-level area?

Sect Leader Feng waited for everyone's discussion to quiet down a bit before continuing, "This time, a total of thirty-two people will be assigned to C-9087, the first sixteen to choose their partners."

As these words fell, Mo Wuji saw eight people come out from both sides, and these sixteen people each found a partner among the others, making a total of thirty-two people. After the thirty-two people were complete, they each took out their wristbands and had Sect Leader Feng imprint a mark on them before leaving the room.

Mo Wuji understood another principle, which was that those who came later were not without any chance. As long as you knew someone who came earlier, you could team up with them and go out together. He remembered seeing two people mining black stones when he first arrived in the Half-Immortal Domain, guessing that mining should be done in pairs.

"A total of twenty-eight people will be assigned to D-8762, the first fourteen to come out and choose their partners." As Sect Leader Feng's voice fell, another fourteen people stood up.

Before long, another twenty-eight people left.

"A total of sixty people will be assigned to E-3104, the first thirty to come out and choose their partners."

"A total of forty people will be assigned to Ren-5109..."

...

Mo Wuji found that he was exactly the fortieth person in the last batch. He asked the cultivator who had answered his questions before with some doubt, "Fellow Daoist, if you are not assigned this time, what will happen?"

This cultivator patted Mo Wuji's arm, "If you are not assigned, or if you can't find a partner, you can only go back and wait, or go steal ore."

"Steal ore? Can you steal black stone ore here?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise. He didn't expect that the matter of stealing ore would be spoken of so openly.

The cultivator gave Mo Wuji an annoyed look, "What are you thinking? The ore stealing I'm talking about is digging in the abandoned mining areas, that's ore stealing."

After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to Mo Wuji anymore and took the initiative to find someone to team up with.

So the two guys he saw when he first arrived here were ore thieves, no wonder there were only two of them.

"If you want to go to the Ren-5109 mining area, we'll team up. If you don't want to go, I'll leave." A cold voice rang in Mo Wuji's ear.

Mo Wuji came back to his senses and realized that there were only a few people left in the room. The Sect Leader and Lang Hao were still there, and besides them, there was an old man sitting next to the Sect Leader.

The one who spoke to him was a woman in black, she looked very cold, but her appearance was top-notch, even second only to women like Cen Shuyin and Zhuang Xiyue. But her mature figure made her look even more attractive than the two.

However, her cold face and words made it clear that she was not easy to approach.

"Of course I'll go." Mo Wuji said without hesitation. He had just heard that if you couldn't find a partner, you wouldn't be able to enter the mining area. This meant that the mining work in this mining area required the cooperation of two people.

The cold woman nodded and walked towards Sect Leader Feng to take out her wristband.

Mo Wuji also knew that to enter the mining area, the Sect Leader needed to imprint a mark on the wristband. He also took out his wristband without hesitation and handed it to Sect Leader Feng to imprint.

While Sect Leader Feng was imprinting the mark for him, Mo Wuji stared at Lang Hao and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lang Hao, where is the basket for me to put the black stones?"

Lang Hao smiled awkwardly. Although it was somewhat damaging to Mo Wuji's self-esteem, he still said, "Mo Wuji, you actually don't need a basket. That black stone ore is very difficult to mine, and your cultivation is too low..."

"Even if I can't make soy sauce, it's okay for me to bring a soy sauce bottle, right? What's more, this soy sauce bottle was originally mine." Mo Wuji frowned and said. He was indeed grateful to Lang Hao for helping him by letting him join the Changsheng Sect. But he couldn't give him nothing and tell him nothing, right?

"Since he is a partner of the Changsheng Sect, then give him one." Sect Leader Feng said faintly.

Seeing that the Sect Leader had spoken, Lang Hao could only enter the room next door and quickly took out a basket and handed it to Mo Wuji.

As soon as Mo Wuji grabbed the basket, he knew that it was not made of simple materials. He had never seen the material of this thing.

After the cold woman had the imprint made, she also didn't waste any words and walked directly out of the room. As for Mo Wuji asking Lang Hao for a basket, she acted as if she hadn't seen it at all. Seeing this, Mo Wuji could only follow, he didn't even know which direction the mining area was in.

After seeing Mo Wuji and the woman walk out, Lang Hao said, "I actually helped Jia Qi find a partner..."

Sect Leader Feng didn't pay attention to Lang Hao's words, but said, "Lang Hao, you gave Mo Wuji a basket, but you didn't give him a shovel to dig with. How will he mine?"

"Sect Leader, you also know that I brought Mo Wuji back to publicize the Changsheng Sect. After he has seen the difficulty of mining this time, he will definitely come back to me." Lang Hao said with certainty.
