"Mo, friend, is right, there are indeed traces of formation here. However, I have never heard of anyone being able to block colorless leeches by setting up a formation. What's the point of setting up a formation here?" Master Pu also replied with a solemn expression.

For Master Pu, the black stone mine was nothing, the unfinished warship was the key.

Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, if that person is like me and also possesses a very strong flame, he can completely block the colorless leeches outside by setting up a formation..."

"Mo, friend, can you block the colorless leeches outside by setting up a formation? Could it be that you came in not only to look for black stones, but also to create an open space here for me to complete the warship?" Master Pu asked excitedly before Mo Wuji could finish speaking.

If Mo Wuji really had this ability, then completing that warship in the Death Mine was the best choice.

"Yes, I do have this idea, I wonder what Master Pu thinks?" Mo Wuji said, looking at Master Pu.

Master Pu immediately understood what Mo Wuji meant. If Mo Wuji set up a formation in the Death Mine, then he could safely complete the warship here. Moreover, another meaning of Mo Wuji's approach was to guard against him, the weapon refiner. Even if he finished refining the warship, he could not leave the Death Mine with the warship alone without Mo Wuji's consent.

Master Pu glanced at Mo Wuji, he didn't think Mo Wuji's approach was wrong. If he could do this, he would do the same. If Mo Wuji just listened to a few words from him and handed the warship over to him with peace of mind, letting him complete the warship, that would make him uneasy.

How could a cultivator with such a rough mind control the warship and take them to the other side of Xianqian (Immortal Rift)? No wonder he dared to meet Axe alone, and seemed to have exchanged for shattered spirit stones. He just didn't know how many shattered spirit stones he exchanged for, whether he had a thousand. If he could take a thousand shattered spirit stones from Axe, then this friend Mo was even more powerful than he imagined.

The main reason Mo Wuji did this was to prevent outsiders from disturbing Master Pu's weapon refining, but just as Master Pu thought, he also had to guard against Master Pu.

Refining warships in the Death Mine, as long as he could set up a protection formation, then Master Pu could only stay in his protection formation and could not get out at all.

The colorless leeches were everywhere in this place, not to mention that the flying ship couldn't fly at all, even if the flying ship could fly, the colorless leeches could quickly invade the flying ship.

"I agree, this place is indeed a good place." Master Pu nodded without hesitation in agreement with Mo Wuji's idea.

"Brother Mo, you said someone set up a formation here, could it be that he is also like us, wanting to stay or cultivate here?" Lou Chuanhe asked. In Lou Chuanhe's opinion, if the other party was just mining black stones, then like Mo Wuji, supporting a flame shield would be enough, there was no need to set up a formation.

"No, if I'm not mistaken, this person should be mining ore. Moreover, his spiritual sense can also reach three zhang below here. The reason for setting up a formation here is because there used to be a black stone pile here." Mo Wuji's spiritual sense had already noticed that there were traces of digging here. Even if the restoration speed of the black soil was fast, Mo Wuji's spiritual sense could still feel that the black stone below had been dug away. Because there were a large number of black stones, a formation was set up.

Jia Qi also understood what Mo Wuji meant. Seeing that Master Pu had no objection, she naturally wouldn't say much.

"Mo, friend, when I complete the warship, I can't be disturbed. Since there are other people coming in here, will he affect my refining of the warship?" Master Pu said with some worry.

Mo Wuji smiled, "No, as long as we know that there are other people besides us, everyone should pay a little attention. If my protection formation can be broken so easily, I wouldn't come to this place."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Master Pu felt a little more at ease.

Don't look down on Mo Wuji's warship not belonging to magic weapons, but this kind of warship is extremely difficult to refine. The cutting and smelting of each material is very difficult. Every formation pattern on the warship must be carefully carved. A slight error will weaken the warship's resistance. Otherwise, Wu You would not have gathered ten of the most famous weapon refiners to refine this warship in the first place.

"Mo, friend, where do we have to go before we start setting up the formation and staying?" Jia Qi couldn't help but ask, seeing that Mo Wuji had no intention of stopping at all.

In fact, they and Master Pu were the same. After following Mo Wuji into the depths of the death zone, what to do later was no longer up to them. Wherever Mo Wuji went, they could only follow.

"Don't worry, I'll wait until I find some black stones." Mo Wuji replied.

After entering this death zone, Mo Wuji's spiritual sense discovered at least hundreds of black stones.

The most black stones even had dozens of pieces. Mo Wuji was not moved at all in the face of such a black stone pile. His first purpose here was to refine the warship, the second purpose was to cultivate, and the third purpose was to mine black stones. There was also one point, that this place was too close to the outside, he had to go deeper.

Since Jia Qi said that a mine area had found thousands of black stones before, then this Death Mine should also have them. According to Mo Wuji's reasoning, since black stone mines are called mines, then scattered pieces do not count as mines. A real mine is a large piece dug up, even if there are thousands of black stones, it is not considered a mine.

The further in they went, the denser the colorless leeches in the space became. Even under Mo Wuji's Green Sprouts Heart shield, Master Pu and the others could constantly hear the sounds of the colorless leeches hitting the Green Sprouts Heart and being burned to ashes.

After a day, even Master Pu was a little worried. A person's Yuan power and spiritual sense are limited. Even if Mo Wuji was strong, the consumption of supporting such a large flame shield would not be small. Once there was a gap in his Green Sprouts Heart shield, and a few colorless leeches slipped in, then their lives would be over.

Just as Master Pu wanted to remind Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji suddenly exclaimed and stopped at the same time.

"Mo, friend, what's the matter?" Master Pu, who had been holding his heart in his throat, was the first to ask.

Mo Wuji did not answer immediately, his spiritual sense from the Storage Meridian Network continued to penetrate into the black soil below. The soil here was very different from the gray soil at the edge of the Death Zone, and was somewhat similar to the black soil outside.

After a dozen breaths, Mo Wuji looked up at Master Pu and the others and said, "I suspect there is a large piece of black stone here, even more than a thousand..."

"Ah..." Hearing Mo Wuji's words, not only Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe, but even Master Pu opened their mouths in shock and looked at Mo Wuji.

Master Pu had spent the longest time in the Half-Immortal Domain, so he naturally knew what a black stone mine with more than a thousand meant.

"Mo, friend, are you sure?" Jia Qi asked again in disbelief. She had heard of many black stone nests with a hundred black stones, and she and Mo Wuji had dug them up before. But more than a thousand was really rare.

Mo Wuji nodded, "I'm sure, and a thousand is just my conservative estimate, because I can't explore the location further down."

Mo Wuji was not talking nonsense. His spiritual sense from the Storage Meridian Network was very weak when it came into contact with the ground seven zhang deep. The area under his feet was a piece of black stone at about seven zhang. This piece of black stone was just a corner. Mo Wuji suspected that there were more black stones below this corner. Of course, this was just Mo Wuji's guess. It was also possible that under seven zhang, there was only this piece of black stone, and below that was black soil.

"How deep is it?" Master Pu asked quickly.

"It should be under seven zhang..."

"..." Mo Wuji's words made Master Pu and the other three look at each other. Didn't Mo Wuji say that he could find black stones within five zhang? How could he even find black stones at seven zhang?

"Mo, friend, is it really under seven zhang? Can you really detect black stones under seven zhang?" Master Pu's tone was a little hurried. He had vaguely heard of some uses for black stones. If they could really get through Xianqian (Immortal Rift) and enter the Immortal World, then black stones were definitely essential.

Mo Wuji said affirmatively, "That's right, I can only detect the location of seven zhang, I can't detect any deeper. That's why I can't determine how much is below. As for over a thousand black stones, it's definitely true. Everyone, I plan to set up a protection formation here. Master Pu, help me refine the formation flags, and I'll set up the protection formation. Senior Brother Lou and Fellow Daoist Jia, dig black stones according to the area I mark. After the protection formation is set up, I'll go into seclusion to cultivate. Senior Brother Lou and Fellow Daoist Jia will still dig black stones, and Master Pu will complete the warship, how about that?"

"Okay." Master Pu said without hesitation.

"I have no problem either." Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi also said.

Mo Wuji contributed the most and had the lowest cultivation level. It was only natural for him to go into seclusion to cultivate at this time.

Mo Wuji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's allocate the proportion of black stones..."

"I only need 10%." Lou Chuanhe said directly. He was worried that Mo Wuji would be embarrassed and would not be able to speak well when facing Master Pu, so he simply stated his share first. If he only wanted 10%, Master Pu would naturally not ask for more.

Jia Qi said, "This time, Fellow Daoist Mo has contributed the most, followed by Master Pu. And when we pass through Xianqian (Immortal Rift), we will have to take the warship. So I only need 10% as well."

Jia Qi's original share was 20%, but that was when everyone's interests were based on black stones. Now that they could mine black stones in the Death Mine, it could be said that they were purely labor, and Mo Wuji and Master Pu were the main force.

Seeing that Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi had expressed their views, Master Pu quickly said, "The reason why everyone can gather here and work together this time is primarily due to Fellow Daoist Mo's contribution. It can be said that Fellow Daoist Mo has done 90% of the work. What's more, as a team, we must have a leader, and Fellow Daoist Mo is the most suitable to be our leader. I also only want 10% of the black stones, Fellow Daoist Mo should take 70%."
