The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 102: Undercurrents in Gulin Mountain
Each school has its own set of skills and standing exercises. If they are performed without concealment, their origins can be easily discovered. This is not surprising.

After all, Su Yan had killed so many people from the Xiaoshan Society, so naturally he knew a thing or two about their kung fu.

Now, suddenly seeing the people from this small mountain society approaching Gulin Mountain, the meaning is self-evident.

He took out the mask to cover his face, and his aura changed, allowing the aura of the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique to cover up the traces of his own Golden Ape Technique.

"If the phantom of the Green Scaled Poisonous Dragon's true meaning is condensed, this vest will be even more real."

After careful disguise, Su Yan collected the larger red-armored scorpion, and followed with the white-bone poisonous centipede and blood locust lurking around him, carrying the gold-eating demon insect on his body.

Qiongfeng Mountain and Gulin Mountain are not far apart, and are basically an extension of a small mountain range.

This is not surprising. If the spiritual energy had not gathered, how could those special jades be produced?
However, over the past hundred years, the earth veins have been destroyed by humans, leaving only the ancient forest mountain as a treasure land.

He followed all the way and saw the team cross several passes and go around to enter the territory of Gulin Mountain.

The right to guard Gulin Mountain previously belonged to the Wang family, and the guards and warriors who guarded the forest were naturally their people.

However, as the dispute over the right to guard the mountain approached, most people went to pack up their properties and concentrated them in the camp.

At this time, the narrow passes behind the ancient forest mountains were basically unguarded.

The team suddenly stopped and Su Yan watched from a distance.

Amidst the rustling of the bushes, a group of people suddenly emerged, about seventeen or eighteen of them, their faces concealed.

"Have you brought anything?"

"Third Gang Leader, I have brought all the things that Master Hu Dan refined."

The two teams handed over their things, but Su Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Lin Tianlang, the third leader of Xiaoshan Society.

This kind of scene doesn't seem like a scene of trouble, and the purpose is probably not small.

"The location of that thing has been determined. Let the brothers at Baicaotang make careful plans in secret and act according to the plan. Let them..."

Lin Tianlang whispered the plan, and suddenly his ears moved slightly, and he threw a sharp flying knife into the forest.

The true meaning of the black wolf rushed over and almost merged with the flying knife.

not good!

Su Yan was shocked that Lin Tianlang's perception was so sharp and he acted so decisively.

He moved his feet and immediately created distance. The momentum of the true realm had completely locked him down.

Lin Tianlang's eyes flashed fiercely, and he sneered: "How dare you, little thief, eavesdrop!"

He urged the black wolf, and the flying knife became more fierce and even faster.

The entire black wolf opened its bloody mouth and merged into one with the sharp blade of the flying knife.

Gold-eating monster insect!

Su Yan was bitten, but his expression remained calm, and the gold-eating insect attached to his shoulder flew away.

Point to point!
The gold-eating demon insect pattern emerged into an invisible shield about ten feet wide, which blocked the giant black wolf with a bang and repelled it.

A clanging sound was heard as the gold-eating insect collided with the flying knife wrapped in true essence.

The blade condensed by the Gengjin Qi disintegrated into three parts, but it still managed to hold back the flying knife steadily, causing it to lose its follow-up power and fall to the ground.

"what?!"

Lin Tianlang let out a sound of surprise, he never thought that his attack would be blocked like this.

His face immediately turned cold and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

You don't mean it, but you dare to ruin my Xiaoshan Association's plans.

He moved his body, and strands of true energy emanated from his body, and together with the true energy of the black wolf, he pounced forward.

Although the gold-eating monster insect withstood one attack, it was still a little short of victory. He was confident that he could defeat the strange wild beast.

go!
Su Yan had already fled, and Lin Tianlang was chasing him madly. Suddenly, a buzzing fog of insects rushed out of the forest, disrupting his vision.

For a moment, his body faltered and his speed dropped a bit.

When I looked at Su Yan again, he had already disappeared into the bushes.

Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and a black wolf emerged as a dark shadow like fire, biting off the blood peak in front of him in one bite.

"Methods of repelling insects"

His expression suddenly became somewhat hesitant. "The Beast King Sect doesn't have any means to control wild insects. Can't a casual cultivator do this? But how can a casual cultivator afford to raise such a magical insect? Who is it?"

Human martial arts are based on animal spirits.

Naturally, there are all kinds of secret techniques and skills surrounding this beast spirit.

Among them, animal-driving and guardianship is one of the major categories.

Taming and controlling wild beasts is not an uncommon thing.

The mountain dogs tamed by the Xiaoshan Society, the unicorn horses tamed and sold by the Lin family, and even the falcons and hunting dogs tamed by ordinary mountain herders all belong to this kind of technique.

The key is not whether it can be tamed or not, but to what level it can be tamed, to what extent it can be controlled, and what kind of wild beast can be tamed.
It is obvious that the beast that Su Yan tamed is extraordinary, which is why Lin Tianlang is so surprised and suspicious.

"Third Gang Leader, do you want to chase?"

Everyone stepped forward, wanting to chase Su Yan, but Lin Tianlang's face darkened. "Don't chase him, it's too late. According to the original plan, that person can't be from Baicaotang."
-
Su Yan ran three or four miles in one breath, and let the blood locust lead him for a while before he stopped.

"The Gold-eating Demonic Insect can already resist some of the common methods of a True Meaning Warrior in the Heart Monkey Stage. If the White Bone Poison Centipede, Red Armored Crazy Scorpion, and Blood Locust attack together, I think they can be as powerful as half a True Meaning Warrior and fight him for a while."

The two tentative fights with Long Qidao and Lin Tianlang gave him a rough idea of his current strength.

Entangling the insects can resist the warrior with true intention. If he himself is added, the entanglement should last even longer.

His eyes flickered, and he felt more confident: "If the White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Crazy Scorpion also complete their new transformation, I'm afraid a True Meaning Warrior will be able to defeat them."

He took back the blood locust and fed the gold-eating monster insect a first-grade mid-quality sharp steel knife to allow it to recover a little, and then thought about what happened tonight.

"Even Lin Tianlang has come out. Xiaoshanhui is really determined to fight Baicaotang to the death. Where does the confidence come from?"

Do you want to tell Baicaotang?

This thought emerged in Su Yan's mind. There was no doubt that Baicaotang was unaware of Xiaoshanhui's plan and was afraid that it would suffer losses.

But he has nothing to do with Baicaotang. Song Qi is injured, so he can't come to Gulin Mountain. Taoist Master Xu Zhong, who is in charge of alchemy and medicine, naturally won't lead the team.

If the two of them hadn't come, Su Yan would have had no worries.

"Although Baicaotang and the martial arts school have a good relationship, even Master himself doesn't want to get involved. This time, being ambushed is dangerous, and it's not worth exposing myself. However, I can keep an eye on them..."

Su Yan returned to Moshi Mountain, and the next morning he started fighting for the right to guard Gulin Mountain.

With everyone gathered together, even if they were to follow someone, it would be difficult to get close.

So after coming back, he directly ordered Cunning Sheep Old Man and the others to keep a close eye on the changes in Gulin Mountain.

Although Cunning Sheep Man and his men were surprised by the change in orders, they were not overly curious and also dispatched people to do this task.

In Moshi Village, Su Yan continuously fed the Beast Yuan Pill he had refined that day to the White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Scorpion.

He also continued to take Five Essence Pills and True Essence Pills, and practiced the Golden Ape True Skill and the Poison Dragon Golden Body Skill to hone his foundation.

In a blink of an eye, three or four days had passed, and hunting had already started in Gulin Mountain for three days.

"Sir, no special places have been found in Gulin Mountain yet. All families have sent their disciples to fight for it as they did in previous years."

"The Xiaoshan Society and the Seven Swords Martial Arts School did not enter as agreed, nor did they send anyone to assist.

The Golden Ape Martial Arts School, having obtained the five-year guardianship rights to Miasma Valley, did not want to cause any more trouble, and did not send anyone to participate in the dispute over the guardianship rights of Gulin Mountain.

Cai Peng reported the surveillance situation to Su Yan, who was sitting on the village chief's big horizontal chair.

On the left and right are Su Yan's two insect servants, the White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Scorpion.

The white-bone centipede was about one meter long, with hideous bones, pale and cold, like a living spine coiled on the edge of a seat, emitting a gloomy aura.

The red-armored scorpion is more than ten feet long and about the height of a man. Its red shell is as hard as iron and its claws are as thick as knives. It lies on the ground, occasionally shaking its tail hook. A faint reddish and hot aura can be seen, like a beast crouching like a tiger.

The aura of the two insects became stronger, which made Cai Peng feel scared. He felt that any one of them could hunt him down.

He was nervous and looked at Su Yan carefully.

Su Yan frowned slightly: "Three days have passed, and there is really nothing special?" He saw with his own eyes that Xiaoshan would "plot loudly". Under such circumstances, if nothing happened, that would be weird.

Cai Peng showed a look of surprise. After racking his brains, he hesitated and said, "Indeed, everything is normal. If there is any truth to it, it's that Baicaotang is working too hard."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly: "Speak."

Cai Peng replied, "Baicaotang is led by the head manager Zhang Tianhong himself. The captain of the guard, the second manager of the pharmacy, and Zhang Tianhong's personal disciple Meng Wensong, a total of three people in the Yangyuan realm have entered the team. Compared with other forces, they are indeed more important."

Baicaotang made a big bet and sent many of its core disciples.

In this situation, if anything goes wrong, it will not only be a loss, but also a weakening of the company in the next few years.

In the next few years, every family will have someone emerging, except your Baicaotang. How will you compete then?
Is it possible that the shopkeeper must be held responsible for everything?

With this kind of tug-of-war, Baicaotang will definitely suffer.

So we can only say that Baicaotang is taking a gamble.

If I bet big this time, I won’t suffer such a huge loss, and I will successfully gain the right to guard the mountain.

"Baicaotang"

Su Yan knew that Baicaotang attached too much importance to the right to guard Gulin Mountain, but this alone was obviously not the plan of Xiaoshan Society.

"Keep staring."

"Yes"

Cai Peng nodded and continued, "Sir, we've made some progress in finding the blood marrow of a second-level wild beast."

"Ok?"

Su Yan stared at Cai Peng. The black iron mask made Cai Peng a little scared.

He quickly said, "We've received news that Red Leopard Du Erniang once invited Wang Tiangong and Lin Xiao to kill a second-stage early stage wild beast, saying it was for refining pills and medicine. However, it's only been over three months. If it's properly preserved, there might be some left."

The stronger the wild beast is, the more demonic energy fills its body, making it naturally more difficult to rot than ordinary flesh and blood.

If it is properly preserved, it will naturally last longer.

"I see."

Su Yan nodded slightly and waved his hand to let Cai Peng go out.

He thought to himself, "All three of them are True Meaning warriors. Although the rebels don't have a strong foundation like the True Meaning warriors of the major factions, it would be amazing if they could survive among these bandits without any tricks. If we want to snatch food from their jaws, we have to be more cautious."

He glanced at his White Bone Poison Centipede and Red Armored Scorpion and gave the last remaining bottle of Beast Yuan Pill to the two.

The two of them immediately poked their heads out from their cross-legged sleep and swallowed the Beast Yuan Pill in one gulp. As the medicinal power dissolved, their aura soon became stronger.

[White Bone Centipede 21/400 (Mature)]

[Red Armored Scorpion 34/400 (Mature)]

After several days of feeding with beast essence pills and a large amount of wild beast flesh and blood, and strengthening blood pills, the two of them crossed the growth stage within a few days and became mature messenger insects.

This is also Su Yan’s current confidence.

Four days passed in a flash, and everything in Gulin Mountain was back to normal. Disciples from several forces walked out of the entrance of Gulin Mountain one after another, each with a different appearance.

Almost everyone brought out a lot of wild beast materials and spiritual medicines.

Many of them were injured and looked exhausted.

Gulin Mountain is not a miasma valley. The fight suddenly stopped halfway through.

They were trapped in the ancient forest mountains for seven days, and they also fought with the wild beasts and warriors in the mountains for seven days.

I thought that although there would be competition, it wouldn't be too intense without the domineering power of Xiaoshanhui.

But unexpectedly, Baicaotang went crazy, constantly snatching elixirs and prey, and was willing to sacrifice injuries for victory at any cost.

If they hadn't killed them, everyone would have thought they were possessed by Xiaoshan.

"Zhang Tianhong, you guys are really willing to spend a lot of money."

After the harvest competition among all forces ended, Zhao Pan announced that the right to guard Gulin Mountain for the next five years would belong to Baicaotang.

The dust has settled, but the look on Wang Qian's face when he looked at Zhang Tianhong was not very good.

He gave a forced smile and looked at them coldly with squinting eyes. If Baicaotang had not spent a huge amount of money, this Gulin Mountain would still belong to their Wang family.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry this time. Baicaotang will compensate you for the Wang family's business dealings with it."

Zhang Tianhong clasped his fists slightly, his face calm, his eyes slightly gloomy, his gray beard moving slightly, without a trace of joy on his face.

Baicaotang won the right to guard the mountain, but among the three Yangyuan realm disciples who entered, one died and two were injured, and more than half of the remaining disciples were killed.

With such a loss, how could Baicaotang be happy?
"Brother Zhang, be careful."

Pang Jian glanced at Zhang Tianhong, then glanced at the disciples behind him and saw that they were all injured.

We also know that they fought desperately and killed wild beasts in there, which is why they got such a harvest.

Pang Jian knew very well that this was the pressure that Xiaoshan would bring to Baicaotang.

If Tianfeng Weapon Shop did not have its own mining base, it would probably be anxious.

Zhang Tianhong nodded: "Thank you, Brother Pang."

The city guards of Yuncang Town, led by Zhao Pan, left first, and the remaining families also left one after another. Although the Wang family had some transactions, it was not much, and finally they left the camp.

Zhang Tianhong sighed at this time: "Xiao Hua, transfer the original disciples of the Miasma Valley here and run this place again."

"Yes, big shopkeeper."

Xiao Hua, the second manager of the pharmacy, had blood on his arm. He used a cloth to stop the bleeding and took some medicine. His injury got a little better, but his face was still pale.

Zhang Tianhong then said to his disciple Meng Wensong, "Wensong, you will take over the management of the pharmacy security for the time being. Wait until Song Qi recovers before we hand over the responsibility. You are injured, so don't overwork yourself. I will ask the second shopkeeper to come over tomorrow to search the mountain for you."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Tianhong made arrangements, and the next day the people from Baicaotang moved into Gulin Mountain one after another.

Many guards and apprentice warriors went into the mountains to search, causing a huge commotion. For a moment, birds flew in the mountains and forests, and beasts roared. The whole place was in chaos.

Outside Gulin Mountain, on a high slope of a giant tree, the Cunning Sheep Sou brothers each occupied a large branch, with two horns of fine wine hanging around their waists, carefully watching the movements of Gulin Mountain.

"Brother, why did that guy ask us to keep an eye on Gulin Mountain? The Xiaoshan Society didn't cause any trouble."

"I don't know"

Yang Kun stared at Gulinshan without turning his head. He said in a deep voice, "That man is mysterious. He must know some information. Our lives depend on him. We just have to obey his orders."

A fierce look flashed in Yang Lun's eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Brother, are you really willing to accept this? There are worm eggs in my internal organs, and I wake up every time I sleep. It's too painful to feel like my life is hanging by a thread. Brother, let's just find a way..."

"Solution? Do you have any solution?"

Yang Kun stopped his brother, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "Do you think that man is only at the Yang Yuan realm? And who is behind him?"

Yang Lun was speechless, his face fell and he looked a little dejected.

"Judging from his demeanor, he seems young. Yet, at such a young age, he's already reached the Yang Yuan realm and is raising four insect beasts. He's a true genius, even from the Beast King Sect. What do you think of us that makes him value us so highly? We're nothing more than insect food collectors."

Yang Kun's eyes flickered slightly: "We are powerless to escape. Even if we find the true state of mind, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the insect eggs. It is better to be more obedient. "

Yang Lun showed a surprised look: "But, what if we are... useless."

"Then don't wait until you are no longer useful, and try to find something to show your value."

Yang Kun said quietly, "That man even gave us a portion of his alchemy. Although it was a carrot-and-stick trick, he wasn't a sinister person. He's willing to use us, so we'll sacrifice our lives. If we follow the rules, we have neither the True Meaning Visualization Diagram nor the foundation. In this life, it would be a stroke of luck to break through to the True Meaning Realm before we die. It's better to try our luck at wealth and glory."

He was certain that Su Yan must be from a powerful family, otherwise he would not have such ability.

The two brothers, Cunning Sheep Sou, were able to run such a special bandit force as Moshizhai.

Naturally, they have some abilities of their own, and judging the situation is something they are good at.

Yang Lun was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "I've heard there's a second-grade, mid-grade elixir called the True Meaning Pill. Infusing the True Meaning into the elixir can sharpen one's spirit, comprehend the spirits of beasts, and perhaps help one break through to the realm of True Meaning. That person's elixir-making skills are so strong, if one could gather all the ingredients and the recipe for the elixir..."

"Roar!"

At this moment, a terrifying tiger roar came from the ancient forest mountain, with an awe-inspiring momentum.

The two brothers' expressions suddenly changed: "A second-level wild beast! How could there be a second-level wild beast in the Ancient Forest Mountain?!"
