352: Guarding the Spirit Stone Mine

For a Void Refining Cultivator, each advancement typically takes even a talented Cultivator ten thousand years. However, Lin Feng cultivated in seclusion in his Immortal Cave for sixty years, and simultaneously received three Heavenly Jiazi Plunders, granting him one hundred eighty years of cultivation.

Over these many years, his Void Refining cultivation was thoroughly consolidated. In a blink of an eye, he had been in the Sect for one hundred years. With the one hundred-year mark arriving, Lin Feng had no choice but to accept a Sect mission. Even though he was now a Void Refining Realm Cultivator, there were numerous missions within the Sect, such as slaying demons and upholding the Dao, exploring ancient ruins, or guarding important Sect locations.

Lin Feng deeply understood that these missions could not only temper his cultivation and state of mind but also contribute to the Sect, enhancing his status and influence within the Sect.

He arrived at the Sect Mission Hall and carefully browsed through the various missions. Among them, one mission caught his attention. This mission concerned a Spirit Stone mine of the Sect. Lin Feng now possessed exceptional Aptitude and did not need to rush around for resources; it was better to Cultivate in peace.

He sought a relatively easy mission that could also stabilize his cultivation, so he chose to guard one of the Sect's Spirit Stone mines as his task.

This Spirit Stone mine was one of the Sect's important resources, containing abundant Spiritual Qi and precious Spirit Stones. Lin Feng's mission was to guard this place, preventing any petty individuals from stealing Spirit Stones and damaging the mine.

Lin Feng arrived at the location of the Spirit Stone mine, where the Spiritual Qi was dense, and various Spirit Stones sparkled. A surge of ambition rose in his heart; given enough time, his cultivation would rise even higher.

He began to set up various Formations around the mine to prevent anyone from sneaking in. At the same time, he also frequently patrolled the mine's surroundings, vigilant against any potential threats.

Only Lin Feng, a Void Refining Cultivator, was responsible for guarding this place. However, there were five Soul Transformation Cultivators here to assist Lin Feng. These five were Xu Feng, Li Hao, Zhao Ling, Wang Lei, and Zhang Xue. All five of them were elite Disciples within the Sect, with profound cultivation and extraordinary strength. Although their cultivation was not as high as Lin Feng's, they held considerable renown within the Sect.

Lin Feng met with the five of them, and they exchanged polite greetings. Although these five were assisting him, they were also an important force within the Sect. He needed to get along well with them and jointly guard this Spirit Stone mine.

In the following days, Lin Feng ordered the five to be responsible for guarding, while he became a hands-off manager here, Cultivating in peace. He immersed himself in cultivation daily, constantly honing his body and Magic Power, attempting to advance his cultivation further. At the same time, he constantly paid attention to the surrounding movements, in case anyone came to cause trouble.

The five Soul Transformation Cultivators were also diligent and responsible. They frequently patrolled around the mine, vigilant against any potential threats. With their assistance, Lin Feng felt much more at ease.

However, just as Lin Feng was cultivating in seclusion, a sudden commotion erupted around the mine. Lin Feng's heart jolted, and he quickly exited his seclusion state, arriving at the mine's vicinity.

At this moment, a group of black-clad individuals were rushing towards the mine. Each of them had strong cultivation, clearly indicating they were not insignificant. Lin Feng's heart sank slightly. He hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to steal the Sect's Spirit Stones.

The five Soul Transformation Cultivators also discovered these black-clad individuals. They quickly went to meet them, engaging in battle. However, the black-clad individuals' strength was clearly superior, and the five gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He flashed, appearing in the midst of the battlefield, fighting alongside the five Soul Transformation Cultivators to resist the black-clad individuals.

Lin Feng's strength was formidable. As soon as he made a move, many black-clad individuals fell by his hand. However, the black-clad individuals were numerous, and they continuously attacked Lin Feng and the others.

These people relied on their decent cultivation; there were more than a dozen Soul Transformation Cultivators here. But how could they be a match for Lin Feng, a Void Refining Cultivator? The five Soul Transformation Cultivators had just been relying on the Formation for protection. Lin Feng, however, unleashed his Lifebound Treasures: the Five Elements Revolving Disk, the Yin-Yang Twin Mirror, and the Starfall Illusion Sword, directly flying out of the defensive Formation.

The three Lifebound Treasures, under Lin Feng's control, emitted dazzling light, colliding with the black-clad individuals' attacks, producing deafening sounds.

With each collision, powerful energy fluctuations spread out, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Lin Feng's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected these black-clad individuals to be so troublesome. Although their cultivation was not as high as his, their numbers were large, and they coordinated tacitly, forming a unified offense and defense, making the battle extremely difficult.

However, Lin Feng was, after all, a powerhouse of the Void Refining Realm. His cultivation and strength far surpassed these black-clad individuals. Under his leadership, the five Soul Transformation Cultivators also gradually stabilized their footing and began to counterattack.

Lin Feng moved like lightning, constantly weaving through the battlefield. With each strike, a black-clad individual fell. His Lifebound Treasures were even more incredibly powerful, making the black-clad individuals dare not approach easily.

The battle continued for some time, and Lin Feng and the others finally gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing this, the black-clad individuals also felt the urge to retreat and began to flee into the distance.

How could Lin Feng let them go? He flashed and pursued them. He wanted to capture all these black-clad individuals in one swoop, to eliminate future troubles.

In the end, through the efforts of Lin Feng and the others, all the black-clad individuals were annihilated. Lin Feng looked at the ground covered with corpses and couldn't help but sigh slightly. He knew that behind these black-clad individuals, there must be a larger force; this battle was just the tip of the iceberg.

However, Lin Feng was not afraid. He believed that as long as his strength was strong enough, no enemy was to be feared.

He returned to the mine, and the five Soul Transformation Cultivators also came to greet him. They looked at Lin Feng, their eyes filled with admiration. They knew that being able to repel the black-clad individuals this time was entirely due to Lin Feng's leadership.

Lin Feng and they exchanged a smile, their understanding already clear. They continued to guard this Spirit Stone mine, vigilant against any potential threats.

Lin Feng ordered Xu Feng to search the bodies of this group of people and send the items he had killed to his Immortal Cave. Xu Feng accepted the order and left. Before long, he delivered the searched items to Lin Feng's Immortal Cave. Lin Feng opened the Storage Pouch, only to see many precious Spiritual Plants, Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, and some tokens from the black-clad individuals.

Lin Feng's heart stirred slightly. These tokens might provide clues to trace the force behind the black-clad individuals. He put away these tokens, preparing to hand them over to the Sect's high-ranking officials for handling later.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Feng once again calmed his mind and devoted himself entirely to cultivation. He deeply understood that only by continuously improving his strength could he better protect himself and those around him.

In the following days, apart from occasionally monitoring the situation at the mine, Lin Feng spent most of his time immersed in cultivation. His cultivation also continuously improved, gradually approaching the Refining Void Stage - Mid Phase Realm.

And under Lin Feng's leadership, the five Soul Transformation Cultivators also diligently guarded the Spirit Stone mine. They frequently patrolled around the mine, vigilant against any potential threats. With Lin Feng, a Void Refining Cultivator, overseeing the area, they felt much more at ease.
