Chapter 1141 Applying for the Pearl Diving Team
The resources of the Baohua Sea are related to the development of the Qi Domain and the Dan Domain. Once the Baohua Sea is lost, the strength of these two domains will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the power of the human race will be further weakened.
In this Baohua City, Xiao Lin also saw several other races. The territories of these races are adjacent to the areas controlled by the human race.
Among them, the Feiyu Clan, the Baitong Clan, and the Tianmu Clan live together without any obvious regional divisions. Among these three tribes, the Tianmu Clan is the leader of the three tribes. In the legend, the Feiyu Clan and the Baitong Clan are both from the Tianmu Clan, and they were born after combining with different races.
The Feiyu Clan has the most obvious appearance among the three tribes. Even ordinary Feiyu Clan members have two wings, while high-level Feiyu Clan members can even grow four or six wings.
After advancing to the God Transformation Realm, Feiyu Clan monks can take the wings into their bodies, just like the magic weapons of human cultivators.
Xiao Lin also discovered that after these Feiyu people advanced to the Golden Core stage, they would re-refined their wings, forming all kinds of strange colors and shapes, and even emitting all kinds of dazzling auras, which really attracted people's attention.
In addition, there is almost no difference between the Feiyu people and the human race.
This also made Xiao Lin's heart move. If he could summon the Jade Feather Dazzling Wings, wouldn't he be able to pretend to be a Feiyu people?
The Jade Feather Dazzling Wings in Xiao Lin's body had been re-refined to the best quality long before he ascended to the sky, but now they are locked in his body and cannot be used.
Of course, Xiao Lin also understood that in fact it might not be so simple. After all, refining a wing-like magic weapon is not a difficult task for many human cultivators.
The characteristics of the White Eyes Clan are more obvious. People of this race all have a white pupil, which looks a bit gloomy and terrifying. Moreover, it is rumored that the pair of white pupils of the White Eyes Clan will be accompanied by the birth of some magical powers when they reach a certain realm.
Of course, most of the white-eyed people may not have any magical powers in their entire lives, and except for a pair of white pupils, they are no different from humans.
As for the Tianmu people, they were born from the human race in ancient times. They are born with spiritual eyes, and as their realm improves, they will also have various incredible abilities, which also makes the Tianmu people the most powerful race in the vast area of hundreds of millions of miles around.
But now the Tianmu people have never admitted that their ancestors are human, but regard the human race as a part separated from their race.
The main reason is that the Tianmu people now have a Mahayana monk, and the combat power of this Mahayana monk is also the most powerful among the surrounding races. Therefore, in the northwest of the Holy Moon Continent, the Tianmu tribe has been the leader for tens of thousands of years, and the other races have been supplemented.
The several affiliated races are the Multi-Armed Clan, the Human Race, the Flying Feather Clan, the White-eyed Clan, and several weak races, such as the Night Girl Clan, the Blood Demon Clan, etc.
These small races are all vassals of several slightly larger races, and they hand over a lot of resources every year in exchange for the protection of several large races.
Among these races, the Tianmu tribe is still the strongest race in name. The second place was originally the human race, which had several powerful beings in the Tribulation Period. There was even a rumor among the human race that there was a Mahayana cultivator behind the human race.
However, after the birth of a nine-armed saint king in the multi-armed tribe, this rumor gradually disappeared. The nine-armed saint king of the multi-armed tribe was equivalent to a Mahayana cultivator. The sudden birth of a Mahayana cultivator greatly increased the strength of the multi-armed tribe and began to become restless.
The multi-armed tribe has begun to encroach on the territories of some surrounding races, and these races whose territories have been encroached can only swallow their anger, and even the Tianmu tribe has remained silent.
The multi-armed tribe is also very smart. It is not achieved overnight, but gradually expands the area under its control.
The dispute in the Baohua Sea area came from this.
After learning about the current situation of the human race, Xiao Lin sighed. In the ancient wilderness, the human race occupies a dominant position and shares the entire ancient wilderness with the demon race.
Even if it weren't for the barrier of the Ten Thousand Demon Sea, the deserted continent might have been occupied by the human race long ago.
In the spiritual world, it is completely different. There are more than a dozen races in the northwest corner of the Holy Moon Continent alone, and among these races, the human race is only ranked in the upper middle level, and with the rise of the multi-armed race, it has begun to show a decline.
The Tianmu tribe has always been laissez-faire about this, and while the multi-armed tribe is compressing the sphere of influence of other races, it is also very smart to give up some of its interests to the Tianmu tribe. In this way, the human race and several other races will not get the support of the Tianmu tribe.
Although the high-level officials of the human race are dissatisfied, they have no way to deal with it.
Baohua City was originally controlled by the human race, but a hundred years ago, it was jointly managed by the human race and the multi-armed race. In the city, the human race was suppressed everywhere. Perhaps within a hundred years, Baohua City would become the city of the multi-armed race.
Although Xiao Lin sighed at the situation of the human race, his most important goal at the moment was to find a spiritual pill that could restore the origin, otherwise it would not be long before his life would end.
However, in Baohua City, he could only contact some low-level cultivators, and these low-level cultivators had never heard of the spiritual pill that could restore the origin.
Moreover, even if Xiao Lin knew the news about the elixir, he might not have the strength to buy it.
At the moment, he can only find a way to find a place to stay, slowly restore a little power of consciousness, summon the star ring, and then use the spiritual elixir to treat his injuries.
If you want to restore a little power of spiritual consciousness, it is difficult to do it by yourself. You need to prepare some elixirs to open up several blocked meridians in the body. Although these elixirs are not high-level elixirs, they are ordinary elixirs. People can also prepare it, but purchasing it also requires some spiritual stones.
So Xiao Lin still needs to find a way to earn some spiritual stones.
Xiao Lin wandered around the city for several days, and this day he stopped in front of a ring.
It turns out that a physical training competition is being held in the arena to recruit crew members and go to the depths of the Baohua Sea to collect Baohua Pearls.
As long as you can pass the competition and become an official crew member, the remuneration will be very generous. Not only will food and accommodation be included, but you will also be paid thirty low-grade spiritual stones every month.
In addition, for every treasure bead collected, you can get a share of three spiritual stones.
This remuneration is already very generous for ordinary low-level monks. The clerks in the shops that Xiao Lin learned about are only paid five to ten low-grade spiritual stones a month, and there is no profit sharing. .
Of course, high income also means high risks. The Baohua Sea is vast and connected to the Northern Ocean. The Northern Ocean is even more terrifying. According to legend, even a cultivator who is a god can fly across with all his strength. It took hundreds of years to cross the northern ocean.
On the other side of the Northern Ocean, there is still a vast and boundless continent, but for low-level monks, they only know this, because the area controlled by the human race, even in the Holy Moon Continent, is insignificant, even if In this way, these immortal cultivators have never traveled to the entire four spiritual realms of the human race.
The Baohua Sea is just a sea area near the north of the Northern Ocean. There are also countless kinds of monsters inhabiting the sea area, and high-level monsters often pass by.
It’s just that for countless thousands of years, the Baohua Sea Area has been cleaned up by the powerful monks of the human race. Although there are many monsters in the sea area, the number of high-level monsters has always been maintained at a low number, and in the face of a large number of various monsters, Clan monks and high-level monsters do not dare to cause trouble easily.
After all, high-level monsters have the same intelligence as humans.
But for merchant ships heading to Baohua waters to collect Baohua beads, mid- to low-level monsters pose a great threat to them.
Therefore, these merchant ships usually hire one or two golden elixir stage monks to accompany them. As for collecting treasure beads, a large number of crew members are also recruited to collect them.
The Golden elixir monks who accompanied the ship only drove away the incoming monsters and protected the safety of the merchant ship.
Golden elixir monks are also the largest spiritual stone expenditure for merchant ships every time they go to sea, accounting for almost more than half of all income.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's heart moved. With the level of his Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, even if he couldn't use it at full strength, it was enough to instantly kill ordinary Jindan cultivators.
Then it seems that he can apply for the duty of guarding the merchant ship instead of doing the coolie work of collecting treasure beads.
Moreover, the income of merchant ship guards is far higher than that of ordinary pearl divers.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin had an idea in his mind, but he did not go to apply for the job immediately. Instead, he stood under the ring and observed carefully.
"He Qingshan, come and apply for the job." A strong man in his thirties jumped onto the ring and said.
There was an old man standing on the ring, holding a ledger in his hand, and beside him were a bucket and a huge stone.
The boulder was several feet high, like a hill, and probably weighed several thousand kilograms.
"Well, first hold your breath in the bucket for a quarter of an hour" the old man said leisurely without raising his eyelids.
Without saying a word, the strong man came to the bucket and plunged into it.
And at some point, an hourglass appeared in the old man's hand and was placed on the table in front of him. The sand leaked out bit by bit.
When most of the sand had leaked out, the big man who had plunged his head into the bucket suddenly jumped out. His face was red and his neck was thick from holding back, and he was panting heavily.
"If you fail, next one." The old man said without raising his eyelids.
The strong man was still silent this time, his face was red, and he didn't know whether it was because he was ashamed or because he was just holding his breath. He jumped off the ring without saying a word, and disappeared without a trace through the crowd.
"I'll do it." At this time, another young man of 27 or 28 years old came up. He had a well-proportioned figure and jumped onto the ring with a somewhat elegant air. He came directly to the bucket. After the old man said the first two words, he jumped Pricked down.
This time, until the sand in the hourglass completely fell, the young man still did not get up.
"Okay, I passed the first level."
"Pa" The young man raised his head from the bucket, his face was flushed from the pain, but his face was full of excitement.
"The second level is to lift a thousand-jin stone and hold it for a moment." The old man continued without giving the young man time to rest.
The young man walked to the boulder, steadied his horse, exhaled loudly, and then hugged the boulder with both hands, and all the strength in his body poured out from his arms.
"Get up" the young man shouted, and the floor under his feet creaked. The muscles in the young man's arms trembled wildly, but the huge stone seemed to have grown on the ground and remained motionless.
"Failure, next one." The old man glanced at the young man and said calmly.
The young man suddenly showed a disappointed expression, said nothing, turned around, jumped off the ring, and disappeared into the crowd.
Then several more people came up, but they were all eliminated in the second level.
Xiao Lin noticed that this huge stone must have reached at least the mid-to-late stage of foundation building before he could barely lift it. The body refining technique also needed to be practiced to a high level, and most of the people who came up were ordinary body refining practitioners. , most of the body refining techniques are at the intermediate level, so they will naturally fail.
"Let me try" At this time, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old swayed slightly and turned into a stream of light and shot onto the ring.
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and he could already see that the young man was actually in the late stage of foundation building. At this age, he could practice to the late stage of foundation building. Even Xiao Lin was far inferior to him back then.
What's more important is that this boy has a well-proportioned figure and smooth muscles, but he also carries thunderous power with every slight movement. It is obvious that his body refining skills have reached a certain level.
He was actually the same as himself, taking the path of cultivating both body and law.
Xiao Lin was secretly surprised. This man's body refining skills had obviously reached a high level and he was definitely a genius.
The young man came to the barrel and plunged into it.
The time for making tea passed quickly. After the old man shouted three words that time was up, the young man slowly stood up with a calm face and no signs of panting at all.
There was a sound of exclamation from below, and even the old man glanced at him approvingly.
"Second level."
The young man came to the boulder with a smile on his lips. He stretched out one hand and with a "puff", he inserted it directly into the rock.
"Get up" As the young man shouted softly, the boulder was lifted directly by one hand, and his feet did not move at all, and he walked around the ring lightly.
"Passed." As the old man finished speaking, the boulder in the young man's hand was thrown to the ground. The entire arena trembled, and smoke and dust filled the sky.
The young man walked next to the old man, received a token, went to the side to register, then turned and left.
Two hours later, four or five more people passed the test one after another, but no one could do it as easily and freely as the young man did.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Lin tapped the ground with his toes and floated to the ring.
"The first level is to collect your energy." The old man said without raising his head.
"Sorry, I want to apply for a job as a merchant ship guard, not a pearl diver." Xiao Lin's words made the old man stunned.
After being stunned for a moment, everyone under the ring burst into laughter, seemingly laughing at Xiao Lin's overestimation of his abilities.
