"Star Refiner."
In the hotel room, Li Yin sat on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the window.
But there was no focus in his eyes.
No matter how much Star Refiners are praised on the Internet or on TV, it is not even a fraction of the impact of experiencing them in person.
That kind of terrifying interference of will, that kind of terrifying blood pressure control...
It seemed as if every cell in his body was reminding him not to become an enemy of this higher life form.
"No wonder Fang Lingjue told me that there is no comparison between warriors and star cultivators. The other party can easily have hundreds of Qi and blood. The other party relies on pure speed and strength to crush anyone who holds the elixir or practices Gang without any chance of fighting back."
Li Pin said.
Only when the Martial Saints who refine the spirit can concentrate the will of martial arts, have a strong spirit, and suppress the atomic will with their own martial arts, can they fight against the Star Refiners.
But they didn't dare to confront him head on.
At most, when one Star Refiner is hostile to another, the Martial Saints can interfere from the side, so as not to be suppressed to the point of not daring to take action like Baodan and Lian Gang.
And the kind that can really fight against the Star Refiners one-on-one...
Without exception, they are all those who have cultivated to the extreme in the Martial Saint stage, making themselves completely perfect and truly standing at the top of the martial arts world. They are qualified to participate in the King of the Century Competition and compete for the highest title in the martial arts world.
"But... Martial Saint, there seems to be another way... That is to take a risk and refine your Qi to become a spirit..."
Li Pin thought of the brief information recorded in the Five Elements Sect's classics.
A martial saint who has tempered his spiritual will to the extreme can choose to burn himself, refine his qi and transform it into spirit. At that moment, his own spiritual power will rise to the extreme, thus forcibly visualizing the star god and stepping into the realm of star refiner.
This step…
Like a moth flying into a flame, it is extremely dangerous and only one in ten survives.
If you fail, your energy and blood will be burned out, and you will die.
But if successful, one can bathe in the starlight, quickly replenish the consumed energy and blood, and return from death to life.
Moreover, since they have gone through the paths of practicing strength, holding the elixir, practicing the Gang, and practicing the spirit, and have these experiences, even if the star cultivators need to circulate much more qi and blood than warriors, their future growth rate will still become extremely fast.
Those who curry favor with the star cultivators are often those who practice Dan or Lian Gang, and very few martial saints join them.
Star refiners will take the initiative to give enough respect to the Martial Saint.
Although the hope is slim, no one knows whether the Martial Saint will be able to refine his Qi into spirit, forcibly visualize the Star God, and soar into the sky in the future.
"Without one of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Transformations, becoming a Martial Saint is the only hope for those who don't have 'talent' to become a Star Refiner. In addition, once a Martial Saint visualizes a Star God, his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and he will soon become a truly powerful person among the Star Refiners. This is also the reason why martial arts are flourishing and the whole country is vigorously promoting martial arts through competitions at all levels."
Li Pin pondered and calmed himself down.
Martial Saint.
Refining Qi into spirit.
Spirit.
A star map flashed through his mind.
The star map resembles the Milky Way.
In the center of the Milky Way, surrounded by starlight, there is a vague figure looming.
He closed his eyes and meditated quietly, trying to see the figure clearly.
I want to become one with those starlights.
Try it for an hour...
fail.
There seemed to be a lack of some key to perception between him and the figure standing in the center of the starlight, so that there were always two dimensions between the two and no communication at all.
Just like ordinary people looking at toys in the computer...
It's like missing a 3D printer.
“Qualifications.”
Li Pin concentrated his mind, quietly sensing the changes in himself.
Search for the harvest from visualizing Star God for an hour.
result…
Even if he could use his talent to the fullest, to the point where he could begin to understand the cellular level, or even go further and see through the cells to understand the molecular structure of this organic substance...
Still didn't "see" anything unusual.
At best, I feel a little better.
Just like closing your eyes and resting will restore your spirit.
"Spirit?"
Li Pin's heart moved.
The martial will of a martial saint is, in certain circumstances, a highly condensed mental force.
They burn themselves, refine qi and transform it into spirit, and also reach the highest level of sublimation. At that moment, their lives bloom to stimulate their spiritual perception to the extreme, thus forcibly visualizing the star gods.
Using a method similar to the interference of spirit with matter, one can refine starlight into the body and become a star refiner.
So, if his spirit is strong enough, strong enough to refine starlight without burning himself...
"Use martial arts to enter the Tao."
Li Pin slowly uttered four words.
This road looks difficult.
There is almost no chance of success.
but…
Isn't martial arts practice a fight against the will of heaven, turning the impossible into the possible time and time again?
And if he could reach the top along this path and explore the mysteries of the human body, isn’t that exactly what he has been pursuing all his life
“This world… is full of surprises.”
Li Yin had a smile on his face that came from the bottom of his heart.
He closed his eyes and re-imagined.
This time, he was no longer obsessed with "seeing clearly" where the Star God was, but instead used visualization to find the most efficient way to strengthen his spirit.
…
In the evening, a small gathering was held inside the Five Elements Gate.
Cao Tianyou personally pulled Li Pin to sit next to him and explained what happened at noon.
Li Pin expressed his understanding.
It is impossible to ask everyone to revolve around him when he is not the protagonist.
A supporting role should have the awareness of a supporting role.
Even a master of practicing Gang like Cao Tianyou had to smile in front of Zhu Di and Shang Feng, let alone him who had a Dan in his arms
With the deliberate efforts of Zhao Yuan, Qi Dongyuan, Cao Tianyou and others to win over the group, the atmosphere on the field was very harmonious.
During this time, Cao Tianyou seemed to have thought of something and said, "You don't have to be too obsessed with getting into the top ten in this Jiangzhou competition. Just treat it as a way of gaining experience."
"Um?"
Li Pin glanced at him and said, "I remember that in the previous dozen Jiangzhou competitions, the most number of Dan-holding warriors was 26, and the least was only eight?"
"I heard a rumor. Although it has not been confirmed yet, it has spread out. I think it is not far away."
Cao Tianyou said, "Lihuo Sect is a top martial arts force in Jiangzhou, and its scale is enough to rank in the top three. This force was originally like our Five Elements Sect in Canglong City. It brought its elite to the capital to expand the market and focused its main energy on the capital. But I don't know what the higher-ups think this time. One after another, martial arts saints sent their own disciples to participate in the competition. Several peerless geniuses are so powerful that it's unreasonable! Among them, there are people who are the same age as you, but have already practiced Qi into Gang."
"Twenty-two years old and able to cultivate Qi?"
"right."
Cao Tianyou nodded: "The Lihuo Sect felt that the pressure in the capital was too great, so they chose to withdraw their elites to participate in the Jiangzhou competition... Therefore, the competition in this Jiangzhou competition will be very fierce."
He paused and said, "If you have been in the Baodan realm for three to five years, you will have a chance to compete with them, but after all, you have just entered the Baodan realm... So, I hope you..."
"I will do what I can."
Li Pin said.
"Then I feel relieved."
Cao Tianyou smiled and nodded.
The two sides had their meal until around nine o'clock before they dispersed.
Li Yin returned to his room and opened the door...
His figure paused slightly.
The Dan Jin in the body was suddenly stimulated.
There's someone inside!
