Chapter 417: Body Refiner
More than an hour later, Xiao Linfei arrived over a small island.
The island in front of us is only about forty or fifty miles long and wide, and most of it is covered with lush mountain forests. In the middle of the island is a hill two to three hundred feet high, and at the foot of the hill is a lake several acres in size.
Several streams extend from the lake, like emerald green ribbons, almost running through the entire island.
And between the foot of the mountain and the seaside, there is a slightly flat open space, where there are rows of wooden houses, extending to less than a mile close to the seaside.
There is also a small pier on the seaside with a dozen wooden boats moored on it.
The small village in front of him probably only had a few dozen households and a few hundred people. Xiao Lin could clearly see a few children playing in the village.
Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and fell towards the small pier.
At this time, several fishermen on the pier who were sorting their fishing nets also saw the light falling from the sky. Their faces showed surprise, and then after seeing Xiao Lin's figure, they all showed awe.
An old man with a goatee in his fifties and two strong men walked towards Xiao Lin.
"I dare to ask this immortal master, what happened when he came to our small fishing village?" The old man with the goatee came to Xiao Lin, with a bit of anxiety on his face, and asked carefully.
"I have registered in Xianju Pavilion and will practice on this island for a period of time." Xiao Lin did not hide it and said calmly. He couldn't help but look at the two strong men. The two men gave him The feeling was very strange. Obviously there was no power flowing in the two people's bodies, but it gave him a very powerful feeling.
"Ah, really." Upon hearing Xiao Lin's answer, the anxiety on the face of the old man with the goatee disappeared, and was replaced by a hint of joy.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although he was practicing here, it was not necessarily a good thing for these villagers. As for what the old man of Xianju Pavilion said about protecting these villagers, Xiao Lin had even forgotten it. .
"The little old man's surname is Liu, and he is the village chief of Qingxi Village. The island we are on is called Qingxi Island. Because the spiritual energy on the island is relatively thin, the several immortal masters who came here all left after practicing for a few years. "
"Aren't you worried that I will leave soon?" After hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile slightly and said.
"The little boy didn't mean to tease the immortal master. The sea area around Qingxi Island is rich in fish, which is a good fishing place. People from other larger islands like to come to us to buy these fish. Good thing, if we, the villagers of Qingxi Village, accumulate two to three hundred low-grade spiritual stones in a year, there will be no problem. "
There was a trace of surprise on Xiao Lin's face. Although these two hundred or three hundred low-grade spiritual stones were not much in his opinion, such a mortal fishing village could actually accumulate two or three hundred low-grade spiritual stones in one year. It’s not easy anymore.
The village chief looked at Xiao Lin and continued: "But more than ten years ago, in the dense forest on our Qingxi Island, a swarm of iron-backed bees came from nowhere. Each of these iron-backed bees had an extraordinary The strength of a first-level monster."
"Originally, our village has also trained several body refiners. They can still deal with the elementary level monsters. However, these iron-backed bees are very cunning. When they encounter the body refiners in our village, they choose to hide. There are so many of them and they are good at flying and hiding, but there is nothing we can do against them.”
"After offending these iron-backed bee queens, they specifically look for the old and the weak, women and children. In the past few years, at least twenty or thirty old and weak villagers have died from the poison of the iron-backed bees. Originally, at least 20 or 30 old and weak villagers in our village have died. There are more than a thousand people, but now there are very few left.”
"Do you want me to help you deal with those iron-backed bees?" After Xiao Lin heard this, he finally understood the village chief's intention. At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him that the two strong men behind the village chief should be He calls him a body refiner.
"We also hope that the Immortal Master will take pity on us. As long as the Immortal Master helps us kill these iron-backed bees, our Qingxi Village is willing to donate two hundred low-grade spiritual stones every year to help the Immortal Master practice the immortal method."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but fell silent. This Iron-backed Bee was also a kind of monster insect. Its body was as hard as iron and it came and went quickly. Moreover, the poisonous stinger on its tail was also very deadly to ordinary mortals.
The small fishing village in front of him was not completely slaughtered by the swarm of iron-backed bees, which was really beyond Xiao Lin's expectation. This made him look at the two strong men a few more times.
After a while, Xiao Lin said: "Since Xiao has come to your island and wants to set up a cave here to practice, he will naturally help you clean up these iron-backed bees. In addition, can the village chief explain to Xiao the so-called What exactly is a body refiner? Is it a training method?
After hearing Xiao Lin's question, the village chief showed a surprised expression on his old face, but he quickly replied: "Is it possible that the immortal master is not a native of our Eastern Territory?"
Seeing Xiao Lin shaking his head, the village chief continued: "It's no wonder. In fact, the so-called Body Refiner is not a practice, but just a name for some mortals who have practiced Body Refining. Since Immortal Master It is normal for people who are not from the Eastern Territory to be unfamiliar with body refiners, so I will let the little old man give a brief introduction to the immortal master."
…
It turns out that in the Eastern Territory, due to the large number of monsters in the sea, and these monsters are weird and weird, with all types and abilities, it is really difficult to deal with them just by a small number of immortal cultivators.
After all, for these high-ranking immortal cultivators, they would not lower themselves to kill some low-level monsters every day. Moreover, the materials on these monsters are of no value, so they naturally would not waste their precious time on this.
And because the mortals living in the Eastern Territory are always facing the invasion of these low-level monsters, over time, the group of body refiners has been formed.
The so-called body refiners are ordinary mortals who cannot practice immortal arts. They soak their bodies in the blood of some special monsters to strengthen their body functions. After practicing to a certain level, they can even be invulnerable to swords and guns, and invulnerable to water and fire.
Each body refiner is extremely powerful. Those who practice to a high level can even easily lift tens of thousands of pounds of weight and walk as if walking on flat ground.
In the entire Eastern Territory, mortals live widely in countless islands and immortal cities. The number of groups is extremely large, and the best among them have also begun to practice through the art of body refinement and become body refiners.
After becoming a body refiner, not only will they be worshipped by mortals every year, and have no worries about food and drink, but they will also have a fixed amount of spiritual stones every year. In some places, they will even regularly buy some monster blood and offer it to these body refiners.
The only task of these body refiners is to kill these ordinary mortals when they are attacked by monsters, so as to ensure the safety of a large number of mortals.
This has led to a large number of body refiners in addition to the high-ranking immortal cultivators in the entire Eastern Territory. After hundreds of thousands of years of development, the cultivation method of body refiners has also formed a complete system.
The realm division of body refiners is not divided into five major realms like immortal cultivators, namely Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pill, Yuanying, and Shenhua, but is divided into three major realms according to strength: primary, intermediate, and advanced.
Each realm is divided into three small realms: low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. The three major realms basically correspond to the three levels of monsters, namely ordinary, true, and emperor.
After learning this, Xiao Lin was really shocked. An ordinary mortal could actually cultivate to the point of fighting against the emperor-level monster beast. This was too exaggerated.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but become interested in the cultivation method of this body refiner. After the village chief's detailed explanation, Xiao Lin finally understood.
It turned out that although the body refiners were divided into three major realms: elementary, intermediate and advanced, there were only a handful of people who could truly cultivate to the advanced level. In the entire Eastern Territory, there were no more than ten people who could truly cultivate to the advanced level.
After all, ordinary mortals only have a lifespan of a hundred years. Even if the time spent on the cultivation of the body refiner is far less than that of the immortal cultivator, it is still time-consuming and labor-intensive. For an ordinary mortal, it is enough to be able to cultivate the body refiner to the intermediate level in his lifetime, which is enough to bring honor to his family.
It can be said that almost 99% of the body refiners are at the initial level, and those who can enter the middle level are almost all geniuses picked out of a hundred. As for cultivating to the high level, this is not as simple as a genius. Not only does it require extremely high talent, but it also requires some great opportunities.
For mortals, the probability of advancing to the realm of high-level body refiners is not much different from that of a cultivator entering the God Transformation Stage. In short, there is only one word - difficult.
As for the cultivation techniques of body refiners, they can be seen everywhere in the market of the Eastern Territory, but some middle-level body refining techniques are very rare. Even if you can get middle-level body refining techniques, you may not be able to cultivate to the realm of middle-level body refining.
As for high-level body refining techniques, it is rumored that they only exist in several major body refining families in several large immortal cities, and this kind of technique is almost passed down from generation to generation, and it is impossible to spread out.
And even if you get a high-level body refining technique, you can't practice it without a demon-like talent and a great opportunity favored by heaven.
The village chief also generously told Xiao Lin that there were five body cultivators in Qingxi Village, but except for one who was of the middle grade, the other four were of the lower grade. They could deal with ordinary lower and middle grade monsters, but if they encountered monsters of the higher grade, Qingxi Village would be in danger.
Although the Falling Star Islands were located in the Burning Immortal Sea and had been managed by the human race for hundreds of thousands of years, and high-grade monsters were almost extinct, nothing was absolute. God knew whether a high-grade monster would suddenly appear among the low-grade monsters somewhere.
Moreover, the so-called distinction between the outer sea of 10,000 monsters and the inner sea of 10,000 monsters was not absolute. It was common for high-grade monsters to sneak into the Burning Immortal Sea.
Once a high-grade monster appeared, it was entirely possible to slaughter all the villagers on the entire island.
