The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 110: Chaos in the Wilderness

The room was gorgeously decorated, with a soft bed made of fine wood, soft furnishings made of silk and tulle, and a faint scent of incense lingering around, making it look like the boudoir of a lady from a noble family.

"I...I don't know where the boss's things are."

Caiyao said in panic as soon as she came in.

Although she was indeed Du Erniang's personal maid and confidant.

But this does not mean that Du Erniang will tell her important things.

Su Yan didn't say anything. He walked forward and lifted up the entire bed board, revealing the secret compartment inside.

When the secret compartment was opened, a carved ebony box was revealed.

Inside the box, there were about forty to fifty thousand worth of silver notes and valuables. In addition to these things, there were also two sides of animal skin paper rolls and a small porcelain bottle.

Su Yan took a quick glance at what was on the scroll and confirmed the contents.

One is the Red Leopard Mountain Guarding Skill, the skill practiced by Du Erniang, which is roughly the same level as the Golden Ape Skill practiced by Su Yan and the Green Goat Skill of Baicaotang.

However, there is also a difference, that is, the Red Leopard Mountain Guarding Skill is not complete. Although there is a visualization diagram, the supporting martial arts and auxiliary skills are incomplete.

If not for this, Du Erniang would not have used martial arts such as the whip.

The remaining paper scroll is the recipe for Zhenyi Pill.

This pill recipe looked very old just by looking at its appearance. Su Yan looked at the contents.

"The True Meaning Pill requires the spirit and blood of a desolate beast to be smelted. Therefore, only three treasures can be used as the main ingredients: the desolate beast heart, desolate beast spine, and desolate beast brain, supplemented by the Illusion Heart Grass, the Heart-Protecting Flower, and the Rosemary Green..."

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly. The Zhenyi Pill was indeed precious, and the refining method was no less difficult than that of the Blood Essence Condensing Yuan Pill.

What is more important is the choice of materials. There are dozens of auxiliary materials. If you buy them all, it will probably cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver. If you add the main materials, the price will be ridiculously high.

Su Yan put away the recipe and his eyes fell on the small porcelain bottle, a look of disgust immediately appearing in his eyes.

When the small porcelain bottle was opened, it turned out to be the blood-exchanging pills, with seven or eight pills left.

The effect of the blood-exchanging pill is indeed extraordinary, but Su Yan doesn't like it.

Today, the elixir is made from human marrow, and tomorrow it will be made from human hearts. Day after day, the bottom line will only continue to decline, and in the end, it will just be a human food.

There are countless ways to become stronger, and such a disgusting method is nothing but inferior.

"In the final analysis, it's all due to my lack of education. The recipe uses human marrow as a guide to induce blood fusion and resonance, but it doesn't mention that other herbs might also have the same effect..."

Alchemy is the process of creating and modifying the recipe...

The idea of the blood-exchanging pill is good, but the next idea comes from his alchemy master Su Yan.

Cai Yao watched Su Yan fall into deep thought, and felt increasingly uneasy.

"Take me to the warehouse."

Caiyao didn't dare to refuse any of Su Yan's requests.

Things have come to this point, when Su Yan discovered the secret compartment that even she didn't know about.

She was completely certain that Du Erniang was dead, and she was forced to reveal all the information.

"Caiyao, how dare you betray the boss!"

When they got outside, the deputy village chief Cheng Lingyun had already brought a group of people to surround them. There were at least one or two hundred bandits and pirates, each holding a weapon and looking like a wolf.

Su Yan looked over and saw that the deputy leader who was leading the group was in his early forties, with dark skin, a short unshaven beard, and eyes like a wolf.

Behind him, the shadow of a black-haired ferocious ape appeared faintly, roaring and blocking Su Yan's way.

"Even reaching half a step into the realm of true artistic conception is not easy..."

Cai Yao, who was nearby, heard Su Yan's voice clearly and her body trembled.

"No, don't offend sir!"

Caiyao mustered up her courage, her voice trembling.

"Thief, wait until the village chief comes out and I'll teach you a lesson!"

What Caiyao and Du Erniang did was rather secretive, and Cheng Lingyun had not yet realized that something had happened.

Su Yan smiled beneath his mask: "Your village chief probably can't come, but I can take you to see her."

As Su Yan's mind moved, a large ball of crimson insect mist immediately appeared around him, covering the sky and the sun, and making a buzzing sound.

The sudden change surprised everyone. Before they could react, the blood bees had already swept over and engulfed them all.

The buzzing sound of flapping wings enveloped his side, and ferocious blood bees launched an attack.

The sharp insect bite pierced the skin and devoured the blood.

They swung their swords and slashed, and fled in all directions. Even warriors in the Yangyuan realm felt a fear of being overwhelmed when facing tens of thousands of blood bees.

Cheng Lingyun mobilized his own beast spirit phantom, trying to get the black-maned ape to cooperate with his martial arts to clear out the blood bees.

"Use fire, fire attack!"

He shouted loudly, and now there were several bloody wounds on his body.

Even if he was only half a step away from the true meaning, the gap was still very obvious. He could not completely transform the virtual into the real, so he could not use the beast spirit true meaning to isolate the attack.

puff
Just as he was about to organize his men to launch a counterattack with fire, a sharp shin-knot sickle pierced his body in the mist of insects.

The terrifying figure of the Blood Evil Queen appeared in front of him, and the murderous aura completely enveloped him, depriving him of his last chance of life.

"Second-level wild beast..."

The minions in the mountain stronghold were simply unable to cope with the siege by the insect fog, and soon only one or two hundred people were left with corpses on the ground.

With the Blood Evil Queen present, no warrior could escape.

Su Yan glanced around, and the seven or eight thousand remaining blood bees pounced on them, devouring the bodies of their companions and the bodies of the bandits.

He frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit of a loss. Next time, let the Blood Demon Queen do it herself."

Blood bees have a very short lifespan and will die naturally some time after hatching.

Hatching each blood bee consumes the blood queen's demon essence and strength.

Therefore, each hatch needs to create value beyond its own.

There are now two or three thousand blood bees dead. Even if they devour the flesh and blood of these minions, it is still not enough to make up for the loss.

The accumulation of the remaining insect eggs can only rely on the blood-killing queen insect to slowly produce them herself, exchanging time for resources.

Caiyao's face was completely pale. Such a horrible insect repellent ability showed a disregard for human life.

Could this guy named Feng Ruohan be from the demonic sect?

She didn't dare ask more questions and led Su Yan to the warehouse.

The door was opened by Su Yan, and the things stored inside were completely exposed in front of Su Yan.

There were quite a lot of things, packed in sacks, wooden boxes and shelves, and the huge warehouse looked quite full.

But Su Yan frowned slightly because something was missing.

The most common items are weapons and armor. Although their grades are not high, they can all reach the level of lower first grade.

This is the foundation of Sandiejian's survival, although the true artistic conception warrior Du Erniang is the mainstay of the village.

But whether it is friction and conflict between thieves, or robbing caravans on the road, or ambushing and killing wild beasts, the efforts of his subordinates are needed.

The stronger the outer armor and the sharper the weapon, the more useful it is for overall strength.

Apart from weapons and armor, the number of remaining wild beast materials and spiritual herbs and precious plants was even lower than Su Yan had expected.

"Sir, the waterway in Sandiejian is convenient, so it's easy to sell illegal goods. We usually don't keep anything and exchange it for money."

Caiyao quickly explained that there were several boxes of silver in the warehouse, all of which were used to reward subordinates.

Su Yan just responded, and then began to put all the things into the insect world space.

Cai Yao widened her eyes and became more and more frightened when she saw Su Yan put away all the things.

"Sir, Caiyao is willing to be a slave and will never reveal a single word about what happened today."

She kept begging for mercy and was already kneeling on the ground. Her white forehead had been disfigured by the blows it had hit the ground.

But she didn't dare stop because this was the moment that decided her life or death.

"Definitely next time."

Su Yan smiled, and the Blood Demon Queen's tail hook pierced through the back of Cai Yao's head, then quickly devoured her flesh and blood, and finally swallowed it completely into her stomach.

Although Caiyao is indeed a good-looking girl with a slim waist and a rather voluptuous figure, since she has joined in, she cannot be kept.

A fire burned down the upper village, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

The ordinary mountain villagers in the village found something wrong, rang the gong and shouted that there was a fire.

Su Yan rode on the Blood Evil Mother Insect and escaped into the mountains and forests, leaving the Sandie Stream.

He did not return to Moshi Village immediately, but changed his identity, went to Tiger Temple City, and found the Golden Ape Martial Arts School.

He sent someone to take a message back, saying that he was delayed in the mountains by something and would be back in two days.

Then he bought some medicinal herbs, which were auxiliary herbs for refining Beast Yuan Pills and True Yuan Pills.

After careful selection, although it is not as precious as the main medicine, purchasing a large amount of it still cost nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Some were purchased under Su Yan's identity, but others were purchased under Feng Ruohan's identity.

Along the way, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh at how great the changes were.

"After Baicaotang weakened, herbal medicine shops and pill shops were truly overflowing. Xiaoshan Society, Tianhe Gang, Bafangxing, and even the Lin family emerged..."

When Baicaotang was in existence, it relied on its monopoly on the training of alchemists and medicinal materials to occupy 70% of the medicinal materials and pill businesses in Yuncang Town.

This kind of control cannot be broken by force alone.

From the cultivation of herbal farmers, the management of herbal fields, to the reputation of alchemists and herbal medicine shops... one link is connected to another.

Under the same conditions, Baicaotang has the highest price-quality ratio. Even if it reaches the same level as his, people will still choose Baicaotang due to its reputation.

Now, Baicaotang has lost a lot of market share due to its weakening strength, which is why each household has emerged.

However, because each family acted too hastily, the overt and covert conflicts became far more serious than before.

Not to mention those who try to take advantage of the situation.

As soon as Su Yan came out of the Tiger Temple City, several people followed him.

He chased all the way, and when he reached the foot of the Tiger Temple City, he sped up and caught up to block Su Yan's way.

"How can you escape if you're walking so fast?"

The man who came was a burly man wearing a felt hat with his face half covered. The people on his left and right were dressed like him, in gray and yellow clothes, with a bamboo hat on their backs and sharp scimitars in their hands.

"You are very brave to rob at the foot of this mountain."

"Plunder?"

The man laughed with disdain and shook his head: "Yang Fang, the swordsman with a straw hat and a knife, please take off your mask. I suspect you are Pang Tianfeng."

Under the mask, when Su Yan heard the name for the first time, he immediately showed a puzzled look.

According to the growth pattern of the barren mountain, the grass on Pang Tianfeng's grave is already half a person tall.

They come here to look for Pang Tianfeng. Are they here to take a shit?
"Your Excellency doesn't look like you're looking for Pang Tianfeng."

Su Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the leader, Yang Fang, with a playful tone in his words.

"Humph, if I say you are it, then you are it. Since you don't admit it, don't blame the brothers for taking action."

Yang Fang drew his sword, and the shadow of his true meaning behind him condensed into an old ape holding a rotten piece of wood, with hair as gray as grass and awe-inspiring sword intent.

A rotten wood is as sharp as a knife, and this is a monkey holding a knife.

"This is the first time I've seen the true meaning of holding a weapon. It's quite interesting."

This person was only at the perfection of Yang Yuan Realm, but when he used the old ape as his true meaning shadow, he integrated his comprehension of sword intent into it, or it could be said that the beast spirit true meaning he cultivated already had this sword intent characteristic, which led to such a special state.

This made Su Yan suddenly realize that the martial arts and true meaning of beast spirits in this world might be even more magical.

When Yang Fang, the straw hat swordsman, saw Su Yan's reaction, greed almost showed in his eyes. It was true that they were ghostwriters, but who said that ghostwriters couldn't do dirty things?
"This man is very generous, but I don't know where he hides all the precious herbs and plants he bought. I'll rob him of his money and then interrogate him."

"Take him down!"

Yang Fang made up his mind and rushed forward, slashing towards Su Yan's mask with the scimitar in his hand.

When Su Yan saw him rushing towards him, his sword intent became more fierce. Before the sword light arrived, the edge had already reached him.

He suddenly smiled and thought of an interesting way to play.

The mountain-cutting knife in his hand appeared out of nowhere, and he raised his hand and swung it, which was the Falling Peak Slash.

sonorous
The flash of the knife flashed, and the sound cut through the quiet woods.

"Falling Peak Sword Technique?! Are you really Pang Tianfeng?!"

With just one strike, Yang Fang recognized the origin of the sword technique.

"Didn't you know it just now?"

The playful tone did not arouse Yang Fang's anger, but instead made the desire that was almost overflowing from his eyes even stronger.

His eyes were full of excitement and his face flushed.

"Hahaha, this is what I, Yang Fang, deserve."

Yang Fang laughed loudly and ordered in a hurried tone, "Stop his escape. Keep him here even if he dies."

Su Yan's doubts deepened, and he thought, "It seems that things have changed."

"Pang Tianfeng, if you know what's good for you, just hand over the treasure you got from the ruins, and I can let you go."

Before he even started asking questions, Yang Fang, who felt he was in control, had already started to threaten him.

The scimitar in his hand condensed into a blade of light, and he pressed towards Su Yan step by step.

Wherever the blade passed, the weeds and bushes fell down, showing the powerfulness of the blade.

The six people around were also constantly approaching. Four of them were at the great success of Blood Moving, and the remaining two were warriors at the small success of Nourishing Yuan Realm.

The eyes looking at Su Yan at this time were like those of a wolf that had found its prey.

Pang Tianfeng possesses a valuable treasure, and whoever obtains it will enter the realm of true meaning.

Rumors in the martial arts world spread like the wind in the chaotic and desolate mountains.

No one knows the source of the news, but since the government's chief constable Xu Guan has been hunting down Pang Tianfeng again and again, the news cannot be false.

"brush"

Yang Fang attacked again, this time seven people attacked together, and the sword light completely surrounded Su Yan.

Even a master would not be able to avoid the sword net woven by these several slashes.

"Roar"

The poisonous dragon roared, and the knife fell like the moon. The mountain knife in Su Yan's hand merged with the shadow of the green-scaled poisonous dragon.

With a slash of the knife, the flesh and blood were cut by the sharp edge like a piece of paper, and blood splattered out.
