-------------------------------------

More than an hour later, Han Changlin flew over a small island.

The island in front of me is only about forty or fifty miles long and wide, and most of it is covered with lush mountain forests, and in the middle of the island is a hill two or three hundred zhang high, and at the foot of the hill there is a lake several acres in size.

Several small streams stretch out from the lake, like emerald green ribbons, running almost the entire length of the island.

And at the foot of the hill and halfway between the sea, there is a slightly flat clearing, where rows of wooden houses stretch to a place not enough near the sea.

There is also a small pier by the sea, on which a dozen or so wooden boats are moored.

There are only a few dozen families and hundreds of people in this small village in front of him, and Han Changlin can clearly see a few children playing in the village.

Han Changlin pressed the light and fell towards the small pier.

At this time, several fishermen on the dock who were sorting out their nets also saw the light falling from the sky, their faces showed surprise, and then after seeing Han Changlin appear, they all showed awe-inspiring eyes.

An old man with a goatee in his fifties walked towards Han Changlin with two strong men.

"Dare to ask this immortal master, come to our small fishing village, but what is the matter?"

The old man with a goatee came to Han Changlin, with a little apprehension on his face, and asked cautiously.

"I have already filed with the Immortal Residence Pavilion, and I will be practicing on this small island for a while."

Han Changlin didn't hide it, he said lightly, his eyes couldn't help but look at the two strong men, these two people gave him a very strange feeling, obviously these two people couldn't flow in their bodies, but they gave him a very powerful feeling.

"Ah, really."

Hearing Han Changlin's answer, the apprehension on the old man's face disappeared, and instead there was a hint of joy.

Han Changlin couldn't help but feel a little strange, although he said that he was cultivating here, it was not necessarily a good thing for these villagers, as for what the old man of the Immortal Residence Pavilion said about protecting these villagers, Han Changlin had even forgotten about it.

"Xiao Lao'er's surname is Liu, he is the village chief of this Qingxi Village, the island where we are located is called Qingxi Island, because the aura on the island is relatively thin, the few immortal masters who came have been cultivating for a few years and left."

"You're not worried that I'll leave soon, are you?"

Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help but smile slightly and said.

"Little Second doesn't mean to tease the immortal master, the sea around our Qingxi Island is rich in fish, it was originally a good fishing place, and the people on some of the other big islands like to come to us to buy these fishing goods, so down, the villagers of our Qingxi Village have accumulated two or three hundred lower grade spirit stones a year, and there is still no problem."

Han Changlin's face showed a hint of surprise, although these two or three hundred lower-grade spirit stones were not much in his opinion, but such a mortal fishing village could accumulate two or three hundred lower-grade spirit stones in a year, it was not easy.

The village chief looked at Han Changlin and continued:

"But because more than ten years ago, in the dense forest on Qingxi Island, a group of ironback bees came out of nowhere, and each of these ironback bees has the strength of a beginner demon beast."

"Originally, our village also cultivated a few body refiners, and they were still able to deal with the beginner-level demon beasts, but these iron-backed bees were very cunning, and when they encountered the body refiners in our village, they chose to hide, and they were large in number, and they were good at flying and hiding, but there was no way to take them."

"And after offending these ironback bees, they are specifically looking for the old and weak women and children to start, in the past few years, there are at least twenty or thirty old and weak villagers who have died under the poison of this ironback bee, and there are at least a thousand people in our village, but now there are few left."

"You want me to help you deal with those ironback bees?"

When Han Changlin heard this, he finally understood the intention of the village chief, and at the same time, it suddenly dawned in his heart that the two strong men behind the village chief should be the body refiners in his mouth.

"I hope that the immortal master will have mercy, as long as the immortal master helps us kill these iron-backed bees, our Qingxi Village is willing to offer two hundred low-grade spirit stones every year to help the immortal master cultivate the immortal method."

Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help but fall silent, this iron-backed bee is also a demon insect, its body is as hard as iron, it comes and goes quickly, and the poison on its tail is also very deadly for ordinary mortals.

The small fishing village in front of him was not slaughtered by this group of iron-backed bees, which was really a bit unexpected for Han Changlin, which made him can't help but look at the two strong men a few more times.

After a while, Han Changlin spoke:

"Since Han Mou came to your island and wants to set up a cave to cultivate here, he will naturally help you get rid of these iron-backed bees, and in addition, can the village chief explain to Han what the so-called body refiner is? Could it be a cultivation exercise? ”

The village chief listened to Han Changlin's question, and the old man showed a surprised expression on his face, but he quickly replied:

"Could it be that the Immortal Master is not a native of our Great Zhou?"

Seeing Han Changlin shaking his head, the village chief continued:

"It's no wonder, in fact, the so-called body refiner is not a cultivation exercise, but just a name for some mortals who have cultivated body alchemy, since the immortal master is not a person from the Great Zhou, it is normal to feel unfamiliar with the body refiner, let Xiao Lao'er briefly introduce it to the immortal master."

……

It turned out that in the Great Zhou, due to the large number of demon beasts in the sea, and these monster beasts were strange and strange, and there were all kinds of varieties and abilities, it was really a little impossible to deal with it by relying on a small number of immortal cultivators.

After all, for these high-ranking immortal cultivators, they will not let go of their bodies, and they have nothing to do to kill some low-level demon beasts every day, not to mention that the materials on the bodies of such demon beasts are not valuable, so they naturally will not waste their precious time on this.

And because the mortals living in the Great Zhou were also facing the invasion of these low-level demon beasts at all times, over time, a group of body refiners was formed.

The so-called body refiner is a general term for those ordinary mortals who are unable to cultivate the immortal method, soak their bodies through the blood of some special demon beasts, so as to strengthen the functions of their bodies, and after cultivating to a certain level, they can even be invulnerable to guns and water.

The body refiners are all infinitely powerful, and the body refiners who have cultivated to a high level can even easily lift tens of thousands of catties of heavy objects, and walk as if they were walking on the ground.

Throughout the Great Zhou, mortals widely lived in countless islands and immortal cities, and the number of groups was extremely large, and the best of them also began to cultivate through the art of body refining and became body refiners.

After becoming a body refiner, not only will he be worshiped by those mortals every year, without worrying about eating and drinking, but also there will be a fixed spirit stone to worship every year, and even in some places, he will regularly buy some demon beast blood and dedicate it to these body refiners.

And the only task of these body refiners is to kill these ordinary mortals when they are attacked by demon beasts, so as to ensure the safety of a large number of mortals.

This led to the fact that in the entire Great Zhou, in addition to the high-ranking immortal cultivators, there were also a large number of body refiners, and after hundreds of thousands of years of development, the cultivation method of body refiners had also formed a complete system.

The realm division of body refiners is not divided into five realms of qi refining, foundation building, golden pill, yuan infant, and god transformation like immortal cultivators, but is divided into three major realms according to strength: primary, intermediate, and high-level.

And each realm is divided into three small realms: low-grade, middle-grade and upper-grade, and the three major realms basically correspond to the three levels of demon beasts.

After learning about this, Han Changlin was really shocked, ordinary mortals were able to cultivate to the point of resisting third-order demon beasts, this was too exaggerated.

Han Changlin couldn't help but become interested in the cultivation method of this body refiner, and under the detailed explanation of the village chief, Han Changlin understood.

It turns out that although the body refiners are divided into three major realms: beginner, intermediate and high-level, there are only a handful of people who can really cultivate to the high level, and in the entire Great Zhou, there are never more than ten people who can really cultivate the body refining to the high level.

After all, ordinary mortals only have a mere hundred years of life, even if the time spent on the cultivation of the refiner is far less than the immortal art cultivated by the immortal cultivator, but it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, an ordinary mortal, after exhausting his life, can cultivate the refiner to the middle level, which is already enough to glorify the ancestors.

It can be said that almost more than ninety percent of the body refiners are at the beginner level, and those who can enter the middle level are almost all geniuses who are one in a hundred, as for cultivating to the high level, this is not as simple as a genius, not only requires extremely high talent, but also needs some great chances.

For mortals, if they want to advance to the realm of a high-level body refiner, there is not much difference between the probability of a monk entering the god transformation stage, in short, it is only one word - difficult.

As for the exercises cultivated by the body refiners, they can be seen everywhere in the Fang Market of the Great Zhou, but some middle-level body refining exercises are very rare, even if they can obtain the middle-level body refining exercises, they may not be able to cultivate to the realm of middle-level body refining.

As for the high-level body refining exercises, it is rumored that they only exist in a few major body refining families in a few Great Immortal Cities, and this kind of exercise is almost passed down orally from generation to generation, so it is impossible to spread it at all.

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 God.

The village chief also generously told Han Changlin that there were five body refiners in Qingxi Village, but except for one junior intermediate grade, the remaining four were all beginner and lower-rank, and it was okay to deal with ordinary first-level beginner and middle-level demon beasts, but if they encountered a first-level and high-level demon beast, then their Qingxi Village would be dangerous.

Although the Descending Star Islands are located in the Burning Immortal Sea, which has been operated by the human race for hundreds of thousands of years, and the high-level demon beasts have almost all been extinct, there is no absolute in everything, and God knows if a high-level demon beast will suddenly advance to a high-level demon beast in a group of low-level demon beasts somewhere.

Moreover, the so-called distinction between the Ten Thousand Demon Outer Sea and the Ten Thousand Demon Inner Sea is not absolute, and there are often some high-level demon beasts that run to the Burning Immortal Sea.

Once a first-level high-level demon beast appears, it is completely possible to slaughter all the villagers on the entire island.

There are nearly a thousand islands around the Descending Star Islands, of which there are at least three or four hundred that are not garrisoned by immortal masters, and these three or four hundred small islands, almost every few decades, there will be an incident of being slaughtered by demon beasts.

This is also why the village chief showed a happy expression on his face when he heard that Han Changlin had chosen their Qingxi Island as their cultivation place.

And Han Changlin also understood that although there were five body refiners in Qingxi Village, there was still no way to take those iron-backed bees, although the body refiners were as hard as gold and iron, and their strength was infinite, they were still mortals in nature.

If you don't cultivate the primordial god and don't condense the mana, you can't be like an immortal cultivator, crisscrossing the green and the underworld, flying to the sky, if you encounter those low-level demon beasts with infinite power, they can naturally compete, but in the face of flying demon insects like ironback bees, they are a little more than willing and not enough.

After learning about this, Han Changlin naturally agreed, just a few ironback bees, it wouldn't take him much time at all, and although the annual remuneration of two hundred low-grade spirit stones was not much, it was also a very stable income.

Moreover, on the peak of the mountain behind Qingxi, there is also a prohibition, which is arranged by the people of the Imperial Water Palace, and dozens of lower-grade spirit stones are also consumed every year, and with the worship of the villagers, at least the loss of this prohibition can be offset.

After getting Han Changlin's affirmative reply, the village chief was naturally very grateful, and the two strong men behind him also showed surprised expressions, for them, with the immortal master stationed on the island, then they could live and work in peace and contentment from now on.

And without the invasion of iron-backed bees, the old and weak women and children in the village do not have to worry about their lives all day long, and because of the fishing grounds around the island, it will not be long before Qingxi Village will grow again.

After learning about the general situation of Qingxi Village, Han Changlin said goodbye to the village chief and turned around and walked towards the back of the mountain.

He also had to familiarize himself with the environment of the back mountain, so he didn't fly with the imperial weapon, and two hours later, Han Changlin came to a mountain forest halfway up the mountain.

There is indeed a small spiritual vein under this Qingxi Island, which makes the trees on the entire island extremely vigorous, and after Han Changlin's induction, the most intense spiritual energy on the entire mountain is the mountain forest in front of him.

And this mountain forest is now shrouded in a white cloud and mist, and it seems that there is no small mountain forest here until it is close.

Han Changlin smiled slightly, took out a jet-black token from the storage bag, Han Changlin casually sacrificed the token, and a faint cyan aura spread out from the token.

In the blink of an eye, the white clouds and mist in front of him dispersed, revealing a long path in front of the mountain forest, Han Changlin walked through the curved path, traveled a distance of dozens of zhang, and came to a mountain cliff, on the cliff was a pitch-black hole mouth that was a few feet high.

A faint white mist emanated from the entrance of the cave, looming, Han Changlin understood that this cave should be left by the immortal cultivators who had cultivated here before, thinking of this, Han Changlin went straight towards the cave.
