4.5 Million Origin Stones, Encircling Ten Extremes Demon Sect Disciples!

How many?

The tokens before him were not one or two, but a full nine tokens!

"So many tokens!"

Even the elder was slightly astonished. He had never expected Lin Feng to succeed in so many challenges!

Under normal circumstances, once a disciple's strength rose, they would immediately move to a higher-level cultivation cave. The density of origin energy in each level of cultivation cave was closely tied to cultivation, so no one would hoard their strength without taking on challenges.

At most, some people could improve enough to succeed in two challenges at once. Three successes were already extraordinary and enough to make others look at them in a new light. Four would be downright shocking, making people wonder just how much their strength had grown in one go!

Yet Lin Feng had succeeded in nine consecutive challenges!

And he had gone from the second level all the way to the tenth!

The elder narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, disciples on the tenth level had at least reached the Palace of Destiny Realm. Many even possessed various exceptional techniques, such as Weapon True Intent, Martial Dao True Intent, or had comprehended powerful secret arts, martial techniques, divine abilities, and so on. These disciples were already the backbone of the inner sect and were far from weak!

Yet Lin Feng, a mere Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator, had successfully challenged the tenth level. The elder immediately found it hard to remain calm.

"Elder, how many Origin Stones does that come to in total?" Lin Feng asked.

One great benefit of merging with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was that as long as he had sufficient cultivation resources, his cultivation speed would not be slow. With such a grand and majestic physique as the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, his bottlenecks would not arrive so quickly. At the very least, he would only encounter some bottlenecks upon reaching the Venerable Realm.

Before that, his path would surely be smooth as a galloping horse, and his cultivation would advance like flying—so long as the resources were sufficient!

This time, he had successfully challenged the tenth level. According to the elder, the rewards for successful challenges stacked. He ought to receive several million Origin Stones!

The elder across from him took a deep breath and began calculating in his heart.

After a brief calculation, he realized that the amount of Origin Stones was no small number.

Nine successful challenges in one go!

Lin Feng had become rich overnight.

The elder said, "A total of 4.5 million Low-Grade Origin Stones."

4.5 million!

Upon hearing that number, joy appeared on Lin Feng's face as well.

So much? So many Origin Stones were enough for him to advance two minor stages!

With a wave of his hand, the elder took out all the Origin Stones he had stored on him. After counting them, the elder gave a mute laugh. "You brat, this time you've squeezed every last Origin Stone out of me. This is the first time I've encountered something this outrageous."

Lin Feng smiled and accepted all the Origin Stones.

Within his spatial ring, a vast quantity of Origin Stones lay quietly. As Lin Feng's consciousness seeped into them, he began refining their origin energy.

He smiled. His current cultivation was at the Fifth Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

With 4.5 million Origin Stones, reaching the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm would not be a problem.

However...

The Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm still seemed somewhat lacking.

Over the past few days, Lin Feng had learned more about the inner sect and understood its vastness. Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciples were nothing within it. At the very least, one had to reach the Palace of Destiny Realm to become part of its backbone.

And if he wanted to climb even higher, he would need an even greater cultivation realm.

4.5 million Origin Stones were not enough, far from enough!

With those thoughts in mind, Lin Feng put away the Origin Stones, thanked the elder, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a light and graceful female voice called out, "Junior Brother Lin?"

Lin Feng looked over, his steps pausing slightly.

The newcomer was Song Yiling, the disciple he had previously encountered at the Sword Tempering Pool.

Song Yiling's aura had now grown much stronger. She seemed to have broken through the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm and entered the Palace of Destiny Realm!

Thinking about it, that was only natural. After all, she was highly talented and had an extraordinary background. Breaking through to the Palace of Destiny Realm was naturally as smooth as water flowing into a channel.

Lin Feng gave a slight nod.

Song Yiling's gaze shifted. Lin Feng seemed to be in great need of spirit stones?

Song Yiling was not alone. Behind her stood two men, both with extremely sharp auras, like drawn blades.

The two were also in the Palace of Destiny Realm and were quite formidable within the inner sect.

Song Yiling smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother Lin, I just accepted a mission to hunt down a group of Ten Extremes Demon Sect disciples causing trouble. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Lin Feng's expression remained calm. Hunt down those disciples? He had no interest in it. Just as he was about to say something, Song Yiling spoke again.

"If the hunt succeeds, the rewards will be quite generous. If Junior Brother Lin lacks Origin Stones, this is a good mission." Song Yiling smiled. "There are eight disciples in total, and every one of their heads is worth one million Origin Stones."

One million Origin Stones.

Lin Feng's heart tightened.

His interest was instantly piqued. At present, Lin Feng desperately desired Origin Stones. If not Origin Stones, then all kinds of spirit herbs, medicinal pills, heavenly treasures, earthly treasures, and the like.

"What realm are those disciples in?" Lin Feng asked.

Song Yiling smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lin, you need not worry. Those disciples are only in the Early Palace of Destiny Realm. Aside from me, the other two companions on this trip are both at the Third Stage of the Palace of Destiny Realm. Their strength is quite impressive."

The implication was that Lin Feng need not be afraid.

Song Yiling's current actions were merely an investment.

She did not believe Lin Feng's current strength qualified him to participate in such an encirclement mission.

After all, the other side had eight disciples, all of them in the Palace of Destiny Realm, while Lin Feng was merely in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Even if he relied on Sword Intent, he was clearly no match for Palace of Destiny Realm disciples.

Song Yiling merely wanted to befriend him in advance and let him gain some benefits.

The two male disciples beside Song Yiling remained impassive, though each had his own thoughts. Lin Feng was only in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. What was the point of bringing him along? Was there something about him that Song Yiling valued?

Of course, Song Yiling was the main figure here, so they could not say much. Still, the gap between the Palace of Destiny Realm and the Sea of Reincarnation Realm was no small one.

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

Since they were only in the Early Palace of Destiny Realm, there would be no problem.

He was invincible!

"I can go with you," Lin Feng said.

Song Yiling smiled. This attempt to befriend him in advance could be considered a success.

She understood the art of investment deeply. She knew that investing well in someone before they became strong would bring rewards that would certainly not be small once they rose to prominence.

The four of them then set off together, heading beyond the Limitless Sacred Land.

Along the way, Lin Feng also learned the names and identities of the other two men.

One was named Yu Dong, while the other was Hua Yu.

Both were at the Third Stage of the Palace of Destiny Realm. They were sword cultivators, and both had comprehended Sword Intent.

Their talents were quite impressive. Otherwise, Song Yiling would not have recruited them.

The location of this mission was a small town outside the Limitless Sacred Land.

That small town had a population of tens of thousands, yet news had come that every last person had been slaughtered.

Such an incident had occurred within the territory governed by the Limitless Sacred Land. Naturally, the sacred land could not ignore it!

After an investigation, they finally identified the culprits as disciples of the Ten Extremes Demon Sect!
