The old man was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his face and look at Xiao Lin.
What came into view was a handsome young man, wearing a green robe, with long hair tied casually behind his back. There was a depth in his eyes that made people think of the vast starry sky in the universe.
"You want to apply for Merchant Ship Guardian? But I see that you don't have any mana fluctuations in your body. You are obviously not an immortal cultivator. Besides, this arena is for recruiting merchant ship pearl divers. The recruitment of Merchant Ship Guardian is not here."
After a pause, the old man spoke again: "Besides, as a body refiner, how can you prove that you have the strength to protect merchant ships?"
Xiao Lin did not show any surprise at the old man's rhetorical question. Instead, he smiled slightly, walked slowly to the boulder, and slowly stretched out a finger.
When the audience below saw Xiao Lin's actions, they couldn't help but stop laughing, and the expressions on their faces were full of curiosity.
They also seemed to want to see if this young man was bragging or if he really had real talent and learning.
The old man also looked at Xiao Lin intently, frowning slightly, as if he didn't understand what he was trying to do by extending a finger.
But Xiao Lin didn't let them wait. He snorted softly and stamped his right foot on the ground.
"Get up~"
The boulder, which weighed more than 10,000 kilograms, flew directly into the air under Xiao Lin's kick. After flying half a foot high, Xiao Lin gently held it back with his finger.
“Tsk~~~”
The audience in the audience suddenly burst into gasps.
Even the old man who was leading the recruitment had a look of shock in his eyes.
The huge stone in front of you weighs ten thousand kilograms. Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building would need to spend a lot of mana to lift it with his own strength, and he would never be able to do it as easily as the person in front of him.
For body refiners, they have to reach a state that is infinitely close to that of high-level body refiners before they can lift this huge stone.
There are two levels in this recruitment. The first level is to test the applicant's breath-holding ability, which is only the basic skill of a pearl fishing crew. After all, if you want to collect Baohua Pearls, you need to go deep into the seabed thousands of feet. The current test is just a test of the applicants.
Whether the applicant has the qualifications in this area.
After passing it, you need to systematically practice the art of Turtle Breath.
The most important test is the second level. Lifting a huge boulder of 10,000 kilograms is mainly to test the physical strength of the applicant. Going deep into the sea of thousand feet requires withstanding huge pressure. Only those who are infinitely close to high-level physical training can
To be able to withstand it, of course, if the realm of immortal cultivation can reach the late stage of foundation building and the physical cultivation reaches the intermediate level of body refining, with the support of magic power, one can barely reach the level of high-level body refining practitioner.
Of course, for the fleet, what they most hope to recruit are real body refiners who have reached a high level of body refining skills.
The status of immortal cultivators in the spiritual world is much higher than that of pure physical practitioners who do not cultivate magic power, so many immortal cultivators are not willing to apply for such a job.
As for the merchant ship guard, it is just the opposite. The pearl fishing fleet hopes to recruit immortal cultivators above the golden elixir stage. When the body refiner reaches a high level, although he can fly in the air for a short time, it cannot last long after all. Although the explosive power
Very powerful, but lacking in flexibility.
Especially in the boundless sea, it is difficult for the body refiner to maximize his combat power.
However, the physical strength displayed by Xiao Lin shocked the old man. According to his estimation, Xiao Lin's body refining skills were at least high-level and above the middle level.
This is definitely a talent. If he can become a pearl diver, he will definitely bring great benefits to the fleet. As for guarding the merchant ships, the old man is still a little hesitant. On the one hand, he is not responsible for this matter, and on the other hand,
It was the limitations of the body refiner that he couldn't handle.
After all, no matter how strong the physical body of the body refiner is, it will be difficult to resist the magical attacks of the immortal cultivator who come and go without a trace.
"Do you want to apply to be a merchant ship guard?" At this time, a sixty-year-old man who had been sitting behind the ring suddenly stood up, landed lightly on the ring, looked at Xiao Lin, and asked lightly.
Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that the old man was an immortal cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core.
Before Xiao Lin could answer, the old man first bowed to the old man Jindan, then turned to look at Xiao Lin and said, "This is the leader of our merchant ship this time, Luo Xinhai, Elder Luo."
"Xiao Lin has met Elder Luo." Xiao Lin clasped his fists and said.
"Do you know the conditions for recruiting fleet guards?"
"I know, the realm has reached at least the Golden Core stage." Xiao Lin nodded and answered honestly.
"But I see that there seems to be no power surging in your body, and your physical body is extremely powerful. Could it be that you are a high-level body refiner?"
"Xiao Lin is indeed a body refiner, but his combat power is not inferior to that of a golden elixir cultivator."
As soon as Xiao Lin said this, he immediately attracted exclamations from those around him. Body refiners are at the bottom of the spiritual world. Many body refiners are even hired to go to the mountains to collect spirit stones and mine various rare materials in the deep sea.
Ore is a high-level coolie in the spiritual world.
Therefore, Xiao Lin's words immediately aroused cries of ridicule from around him.
The elder Luo also showed a smile and said with a smile: "Your body refining skills are indeed very powerful, but to say that you can defeat the golden elixir monk is an exaggeration. Young people should be more modest and low-key.
When Xiao Lin heard this, he was not angry, but smiled and said: "Elder Luo can invite any Jindan monk to come and compete with Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin loses, he will naturally not mention being a fleet guard.
, and is willing to join the fleet as a pearl diver, but if Xiao Lin wins, how about asking Elder Luo to allow Xiao Lin to become a fleet guard?"
"Okay, I promise you." After the old man finished speaking, he clapped his palms gently, and suddenly a golden light shot from a distance and reached the ring in an instant. When the golden light dissipated, a strong man was revealed.
The man looked to be in his forties and had an unusually strong build.
In Xiao Lin's eyes, his strength is clearly visible.
"Early stage of golden elixir, intermediate and top grade body refining."
"I won't bully you. Hou Dang is one of the guards of our fleet. He has practiced both law and body, and both have reached a certain level. As long as you can remain undefeated in front of him, I will recruit you as a guard of the fleet.
.”
"It's a deal."
"Boy, I advise you not to try it. The little body trainer actually challenged Hou Mou. He is simply desperate. If you die in Hou Mou's hands, don't regret it."
"If Xiao dies in your hands, that will be his fate. Your Excellency, be prepared. Xiao is about to take action."
"You take action." Hou Dang sneered and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, his expression suddenly solemn, and a bright golden light erupted from his body, and he turned into a stream of light, which suddenly shot less than a foot in front of Hou Dang.
Hou Dang was immediately surprised. He did not expect Xiao Lin to be so fast. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a golden shield, which grew to about ten feet in size and blocked in front of him.
Xiao Lin's body didn't pause at all. His right fist was instantly covered with fine golden scales, and he punched the shield.
"Boom~~click~bang."
The golden shield shattered into pieces with a loud noise.
Hou Dang's face turned pale and a mouthful of blood spurted out, but before he could dodge, a golden fist had already hit his chest.
"Boom~~"
The violent fist power actually passed directly through Hou Dang's body, turning into layers of golden ripples, and hit the boulder behind him.
The boulder directly shattered into countless rubbles, but the strange thing was that these rubbles did not fly in all directions, but were passed by the golden light waves again and turned into powder silently.
Within hundreds of feet around the entire arena, there was silence for a moment.
Even the old man named Luo had his mouth wide open with a horrified expression.
Hou Dang's face turned pale. He was punched in the chest by a high-level body refiner. His internal organs were shattered instantly, the sea of energy exploded, and he died on the spot.
But after waiting for a moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no severe pain in his body, but instead a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Accepted."
At this time, Xiao Lin withdrew his fist, and all the golden scales on his fist disappeared. Then he hugged Hou Sheng's fist and said.
Hou Dangwu was still in a daze. He turned around and looked at the boulder behind him that had almost turned into a pile of stone powder, and then at the magic shield that was torn apart on the ground. The horror in his heart could not be greater.
"one move?"
A body refiner defeated a golden elixir monk with just one move, and everyone present knew clearly that Xiao Lin was showing mercy, otherwise the golden elixir monk would have died.
.
This made the audience below burst into cheers after being surprised.
Because many of them were body refiners, they originally thought that body refiners were high-level coolies, but after seeing Xiao Lin's combat power, they were surprised to find that body refiners could also
Defeated a high-level monk, and defeated him so cleanly.
"Elder Luo, is Xiao Lin passed?"
Xiao Lin's voice made Luo Xinhai, who was stunned, ask.
"Well, of course I passed." Elder Luo was also shocked. Under normal circumstances, a high-level low-level body refiner would most likely not be able to win against a golden elixir cultivator.
And this Xiao Lin defeated Hou Dang in such an understatement. It is obvious that his attainments in body refining techniques far exceed those of high-level low-level ones, and he may have reached high-level high-level ones, or even the realm of the Holy Body.
Thinking of the Holy Body Realm, Luo Xinhai's heart twitched fiercely. Body refiners in the Holy Body Realm must exist in the four spiritual realms, but their number is definitely extremely rare.
If the fleet he is responsible for can recruit such a fleet guard, it will be a blessing from heaven, and based on the combat power he has just shown, he may be worthy of a Nascent Soul monk.
Thinking of this, his attitude began to change 180 degrees.
"Brother Xiao's body-refining skills have actually reached the pinnacle. Luo is mistaken. As long as Brother Xiao agrees to join our fleet, I am willing to double Brother Xiao's remuneration."
Since there was still some time before going to sea, Xiao Lin spent the next few days living in the luxurious single-family house prepared for him by Elder Luo, meditating and recuperating.
When he first moved in, Elder Luo came to see Xiao Lin alone and expressed his desire to sign a three-year contract with Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was a little stunned at first, but soon he understood Elder Luo's intention.
It turns out that the fleet managed by Elder Luo is affiliated to Fengbo Trading Company, a large trading company in the Danling Domain. As you can tell from the name of this trading company, their business scope is mainly on the sea.
When Xiao Lin heard the word "Feng Bo", he couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
Fengbo Trading Company has been established for hundreds of thousands of years and has hundreds of thousands of people. There are hundreds of large spirit boats, and there are more than thousands of small and medium-sized spirit boats.
Xiao Lin also knew through Elder Luo that Fengbo Trading Company also has ten super cross-continental spirit boats. These super spirit boats can shuttle between different continents and can transfer various goods between different continents, thereby earning a considerable amount of money.
of spiritual stone profits.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. He wanted to know what other continents there were besides the Holy Moon Continent where the human race was located.
When he asked, Elder Luo's answer disappointed him.
It turns out that Elder Luo didn't know either, and among the troubled trading companies, only a handful of core elders knew the information about other continents, and the realm of these elders was at least in the Void Refining Realm.
The fleet managed by Elder Luo only consists of one medium-sized spirit boat and three small spirit boats. With his status, he is not even qualified to meet the core elders of Lianxu.
In Fengbo Trading Company, except for the core elders and a very few senior executives, most of them are management elders like Elder Luo. The so-called management elders usually lead a fleet to conduct trade between various tribes and earn money.
Most of the profits from the spirit stones must be turned over to the trading house, and the excess profits will be distributed by the captain of the ship.
This reflects the importance of the guardian of the fleet, and in the fleet, the guardian is always called a worshiper. Usually, these worshippers do nothing. Even when they go out to sea for trade, they are just practicing in seclusion in the room.
Moreover, their salary is extremely generous, and their only mission is to remove the threat to the fleet when it encounters danger.
Of course, in this boundless ocean, there are all kinds of dangers, and the dangers encountered vary from big to small.
Therefore, this position is not easy to fill. If you encounter some ancient monsters or abyss beasts, I am afraid that the entire fleet will be wiped out.
Of course, if such a presence is really encountered, the top management of Fengbo Trading Company will not stand idly by and will usually dispatch the large worshipers of the trading company to kill monsters or ferocious beasts and open up the sea route to avoid more fleets in the future.
The army was destroyed.
For countless thousands of years, it has been basically difficult to encounter powerful ancient monsters and abyssal beasts in the waters surrounding the Holy Moon Continent.
Only fleets like Elder Luo have room to survive.
Of course, apart from ancient monsters and abyss beasts, the most dangerous dangers encountered by the fleet are pirates from various races. These people usually come in groups and immediately flee away after doing one thing.
It is very difficult to hunt down.
However, these pirates are basically all below the Nascent Soul realm, because the Nascent Soul monks still have some status on the mainland. If someone knows that they are doing such a thing, not only will they be more likely to be hunted down, but once they are notorious, they will be in trouble in the future.
The path to immortality is also difficult.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
For Elder Luo, the stronger the fleet's offerings are, the better.
Xiao Lin defeated a golden elixir monk in an understatement, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Lin was showing mercy, otherwise the golden elixir monk would have been killed with one move.
In fact, they didn't know that with the level of Xiao Lin's Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, if he used it with all his strength, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be instantly killed by one punch.
It's just that once Xiao Lin's meridians were broken, it was not appropriate to use all his strength. On the other hand, he didn't want to be too showy.
It is enough to be able to achieve your own goals.
After listening to Elder Luo's invitation, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and then agreed, but he also put forward a condition, which was to pay one year's worth of spiritual stones in advance.
When Elder Luo heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and without hesitation, he took out one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones and placed them in front of Xiao Lin.
