Lin Hao and the others watched these losers leave like stray dogs, and couldn't help showing happy smiles on their faces.
According to the rules in the mine cave, the territory occupied by the miscellaneous disciples in one room only needed to accept challenges from those in other rooms once a month.
After driving Zou Shanhu and the others away, they didn't have to worry about anyone coming to snatch their mining area territory for at least a month.
"Junior Brother Lin, you're really strong! That Mo Santeng has been in the Xuanyue Sect for two years and can be regarded as a little master among miscellaneous disciples, yet he couldn't do anything to you," Jiang Sheng's eyes fell on Lin Hao. Feeling that his performance was a bit unexpected, he praised.
"Junior Brother Lin, fortunately you were here in this battle. Otherwise, we probably couldn't have held this place," the other two miscellaneous disciples at the second level of Qi Refining also looked at Lin Hao with new eyes and friendly smiles appeared on their faces.
"Senior Brother Lin is so powerful! With Senior Brother Lin in the mining area, we'll have a good life," the six miscellaneous disciples at the first level of Qi Refining showed even more admiration on their faces and kept flattering him.
They had been in the Xuanyue Sect longer than Lin Hao, but their strength was lower than Lin Hao's, so they directly called Lin Hao senior brother.
"Fellow senior brothers and junior brothers are joking. I was just beaten by that Mo Santeng and could only run away," Lin Hao was a bit elated by the praise around him, but he said very humbly on his face, "It's also thanks to Senior Brother Jiang's great strength that he defeated Zou Shanhu in time. Otherwise, I couldn't have held on for long."
Seeing that he was humble and didn't take credit, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but think more highly of Lin Hao and smiled and said, "We're all brothers in the same room. We should support each other and strive to get rid of the identity of miscellaneous disciples and become outer sect disciples as soon as possible."
"Yes! What Senior Brother Jiang said is right," the others echoed one after another.
"Let's go and have a meal," Jiang Sheng, who had great prestige, said.
Everyone was already hungry and nodded repeatedly.
When they came to the cafeteria, they exchanged meal vouchers for spirit porridge. Lin Hao started eating it with big mouthfuls.
After this battle, Lin Hao had completely integrated into these people and had a rather high status among them.
After having a meal, they didn't need to work in the afternoon. Lin Hao was about to go back to the wooden house to cultivate when Jiang Sheng stopped him and said, "Junior Brother Lin, are you going back to cultivate?"
"Well, aren't you guys going back, Senior Brother Jiang?" Lin Hao's eyes fell on the other three miscellaneous disciples at the second level of Qi Refining who lived in the same room and asked.
"We have a place with rich spiritual energy, which is more suitable for cultivation than in the wooden house," Jiang Sheng took a step forward, looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Junior Brother Lin, come with us."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang!" Lin Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly clasped his hands in salute to express his gratitude.
"Let's go!"
The four of them walked along a small path down the mountain, left the current mine mountain, and walked about five miles to a steep mountain.

"Junior Brother Lin, the place suitable for cultivation is on this mountain," Jiang Sheng continued, "There are many wild beasts on this mountain. Among them, the ones that pose the greatest threat to us are several wolf demons."
"Actually there are demon beasts! Senior Brother Jiang, what are the cultivation levels of those wolf demons?" Lin Hao was shocked. Since he had been in the Xuanyue Sect for half a year, he knew that demon beasts were full of treasures. Demon beasts at the Qi Refining level had demon pills, and their flesh and blood contained a lot of spiritual energy.
If one could kill them and eat the flesh of demon beasts, one could not only improve the strength of the physical body but also increase the cultivation speed. And the demon pill was even more precious and could be directly taken to increase one's cultivation level.
However, the physical bodies of demon beasts were stronger than those of humans. In the early stage, when fighting against human cultivators in the same level, they had a great advantage. They were not so easy to hunt, and on the contrary, they were very dangerous to human cultivators.
With the strength of the four of them at the second level of Qi Refining, they could still fight if they encountered a demon beast at the second level of Qi Refining. But if they encountered a demon beast at the third level of Qi Refining, they could only run for their lives or even be killed.
"Junior Brother Lin, among those wolf demons, one is at the second level of Qi Refining, which poses the greatest threat to us. The other five wolves are demon beasts that have just entered the first level of Qi Refining not long ago and are not much of a threat," Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Originally, after Senior Brother Xu Zhikai left the miscellaneous disciple area, only the three of us were left at the second level of Qi Refining. Facing these wolf demons was still a bit dangerous, and we were thinking of reluctantly giving up this extremely suitable place for cultivation on the mountain.
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Lin has come and is at the second level of Qi Refining. So we can continue to cultivate on this mountain. After going up the mountain, the four of us can take care of each other, and that beast won't dare to attack us," Jiang Sheng thought for a while and continued, "If Junior Brother Lin is afraid of demon beasts, we don't have to go to this mountain today."
Lin Hao was a bit hesitant in his heart. But thinking that he had come here with them, if he left now, he would surely make these three people unhappy and even hold grudges against him. Besides, he also wanted to see this extremely suitable place for cultivation mentioned by Jiang Sheng. So he summoned his courage and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, since we're already here, let's go up the mountain and have a look."
"Let's go up the mountain," hearing this, Jiang Sheng and the other two showed smiles on their faces.
The four of them climbed up the mountain full of trees.
About two cups of tea time later, they were panting as they reached the mountainside. A cave appeared in front of them.
"Here we are," Jiang Sheng said.
"Senior Brother Jiang, what is this place?" Lin Hao looked at the cave and asked doubtfully.
"This is an abandoned blessed land. Once, an elite inner sect disciple of the Xuanyue Sect cultivated here. Later, because the spiritual energy in this cave decreased, that inner sect elite disciple left," Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "This place was told to me by my grandfather when I joined the Xuanyue Sect. Although the spiritual energy here is not as rich as that in the place where the outer sect disciples of the Xuanyue Sect live, it is much richer than that in all the areas where our miscellaneous disciples live."
He continued, "Only the four of us know about this place. Junior Brother Lin, you must keep it a secret."
His grandfather was an outer sect disciple of the Xuanyue Sect and had once been fortunate enough to follow that Xuanyue Sect inner sect elite disciple who had cultivated here, so he knew this place.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Jiang. I'll never leak it out," Lin Hao patted his chest to guarantee.
He followed Jiang Sheng into the cave. There were some abandoned furniture, a stone bed, and a pile of firewood that Jiang Sheng and the others hadn't used up before.
The cave was a bit dim. One of them lit the firewood to light up the cave.
Then, the four of them found an empty space, sat cross-legged, and began to operate their cultivation techniques to cultivate.
"Eh!"
When Lin Hao used the Five Elements Longevity Art to absorb the spiritual energy around him, he immediately felt happy.
Cultivating here was about 20% faster than in the area of the miscellaneous disciples' wooden houses.
This cultivation bonus didn't seem like much, but over time, with the accumulation day by day, it would be quite significant.
Lin Hao had been a miscellaneous disciple in the Xuanyue Sect for half a year. According to the rule that miscellaneous disciples had to leave the Xuanyue Sect if they couldn't become outer sect disciples within three years, he only had two and a half years left.
"With this cave full of rich spiritual energy, I have a greater chance of becoming an outer sect disciple of the Xuanyue Sect!"
He excitedly operated the Five Elements Longevity Art and greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.
As time passed, the sun in the sky was already in the
