The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 120 Xiaoshan will come to visit

Su Yan's reputation became more and more famous in Yuncang Town.

There were street vendors saying that Su Yan used a ferocious ape to fight against the mountain wolf that day and did not retreat even a single step.

Some people also said that Long Qidao of the Qidao Martial Arts School was old and was surpassed by the boy.

Some people also said that it wouldn't be long before Su Yan would break through to the realm of true artistic conception.

Rumors were spreading everywhere, but of course for ordinary people, everything was just a topic of conversation in their spare time.

Just two days later, it was completely overshadowed by another incident.

Qinghe Mountain was attacked by bandits and most of the mountain was burned down. Even the deputy head of the Qidao Martial Arts School, Long Wu, and several of Long Qidao's true disciples were killed.

Things are getting big!
All discussions about the Seven Swords Martial Arts School and the Golden Ape Martial Arts School fell silent overnight.

Long Qidao lost his beloved son, younger brother and true disciple in one night. He is now a lonely man. Who would provoke him?

Isn't that like walking into the toilet with a lantern - seeking death?

However, Long Qidao did not take any action, neither announcing the death nor seeking revenge.

Overnight, Long Qidao's hair turned white, and he looked like a hungry wolf, with only cold and dead eyes left.

"The wolf that doesn't bark bites hardest."

When Su Yan heard the news, he realized that Long Qidao was going to play some ruthless tricks.

After all, others don’t know who started the fire on Qinghe Mountain, but he, Long Qidao, knows.

But now, just because of his one true state of mind, he cannot defeat the three true state of mind masters of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School.

He's looking for an opportunity.

Su Yan secretly spread the blood bees on the roofs and eaves around the Seven Swords Martial Arts School, rotating them regularly to keep a close eye on the Seven Swords Martial Arts School.

Long Qidao is his new fishing spot, and sooner or later he will catch some big fish.

In the next few days, Su Yan stayed indoors and fed the Beast Yuan Pill to the four servant insects in the insect world every day.

In addition to the beast essence pills, the gold-eating monster insects are also constantly devouring sharp weapons and metal ores.

The same was true for the Blood Evil Queen. While devouring the Beast Yuan Pill, it was also constantly devouring the Blood Strengthening Pill that Su Yan had previously refined.

Although the four insect messengers cannot be released for training for the time being, fortunately the space in the insect world is not small, so it is not too cramped to move around in it.

After several days, the gold-eating demon insect and the blood-eating queen insect have broken through the initial stage and entered the growth stage, and their strength has reached a higher level.

Even the White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Scorpion are approaching the metamorphosis period.

The insect essence became more and more powerful. Su Yan absorbed the insect essence and combined it with the Blood Essence Condensation Pill and the True Essence Pill to continuously temper his body.

The strength of the bones in the body continued to condense, faintly changing from the color of gold and bronze to a hint of jade, like a precious jade like glass bone.

Su Yan had already mastered the Golden Ape Jade Body Technique to perfection. He had the skin of stone, the bones of gold and iron, and the body of jade. When he comprehended and integrated the three, he could continuously strengthen his body by practicing them.

His roots were already extremely strong, and he later acquired the characteristic of insect bone armor.

The flesh and bones are further strengthened, and as the insect essence is tempered, the insect becomes stronger. The growth of this characteristic is stronger and more sustainable than other skills such as the Golden Ape Jade Body Skill.

Now, after being tempered together, his bones have undergone even greater changes.

Faintly, the bones were creaking.

It was as if a tiger was roaring in the air, its voice like thunder and its momentum rising.

Su Yan concentrated his mind and practiced, and the tiger-like state of mind continued to rise. First, his blood and energy condensed into a vicious tiger coming down the mountain.

Then the true essence, spirit, qi and blood intertwined with each other, almost condensing into another phantom of true meaning.

But at this moment, Su Yan opened his eyes, and the shadow of the white ape's true meaning emerged. He opened his mouth as if swallowing the sun and the moon, completely absorbing the tiger appearance.

"Click"

The bones made a rumbling sound, and a powerful force came from the spine and various bones one by one.

A powerful aura suddenly burst out from Su Yan's body, and his true energy surged like a huge wave.

"In that case, let's bring the Golden Ape True Skill as well."

A fire ignited in his heart, his eyes were full of confidence, and he used all his strength to activate the Golden Ape True Skill, along with the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Skill, and madly attacked the final barrier.

After about two hours, the roar of a tiger reached the sky in the room, and the momentum was so strong that even people outside could notice it.

[Body Tempering Realm: Nourishing Essence 1/400 (Great Accomplishment)]

[Golden Ape True Skill: Transformation]

[Tiger Body Bone Tempering Technique: Transcendent Realm]

Su Yan comprehended and understood the two techniques and was promoted to the realm of transformation at the same time.

At this point, his cultivation level crossed the threshold of minor success and entered the stage of major success.

The true energy in the body became more and more powerful, gradually condensing in the Dantian, lingering like mist, and vaguely showing the tendency to turn into liquid.

"The true essence turns into liquid, and the shadow turns from virtual to real. When it is completed, it will be the day of breaking through the true meaning."

Su Yan showed a satisfied look. Compared with other people in the Yangyuan Realm, his progress was already very fast.

However, compared with the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique and the Golden Ape True Technique, Su Yan still frowned slightly.

"The Transformation Realm is the upper limit of the efficiency of the martial arts. If it becomes stronger, the enhancement rate of the Golden Ape True Art, Tiger Body Bone Tempering Art, and Golden Ape Jade Body Art may not be able to keep up."

The degree of comprehension of the exercises will naturally lead to different efficiency in performing the exercises.

However, no matter what level of comprehension one reaches, there is always a limit to the level of cultivation.

The Golden Ape True Skill and the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Skill can only be used to cultivate the true realm of intention. There is no method to condense the acupoints later.

Moreover, even if one can practice, once one reaches the second level of the True Artistic Realm, that is, the Ruyi Stage, the speed will not be able to keep up with the demand, and it can only be slow and steady.

This is the limitation of the practice.

In the hands of Bai Changlin and others, the efficiency of practicing the fully-developed technique is 1. However, since Su Yan has achieved the state of transformation and has such a strong aptitude, his efficiency can reach 1.2 or 1.3, but he cannot break through the upper limit.

Su Yan felt regretful precisely because of this. For him, if he wanted to become stronger faster, he needed a more powerful technique.

"The upper limit of the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique is higher, and it can support me to go further. I always feel that there are more supporting techniques. Perhaps I can explore one or two after joining the Beast King Sect."

"Then there's the Beast King Sect, a major sect that suppresses Lingnan. They should have even more powerful techniques."

Su Yan sorted out his current situation and had more expectations for the Beast King Sect.

Firstly, as long as he reaches the Beast King Sect and obtains the method of driving beasts through contract, then the ferocious insects in his hands can be put on the table.

No one would easily suspect that the origin of the evil insect is related to other things.

The second is the issue of martial arts. The stronger the martial arts, the further you can go in the future.

The lifespan of true meaning is two hundred years, and the lifespan of elixir is five hundred years. Longevity is right in front of you. This is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Therefore, he must go to the Beast King Sect.

After a few more days, Yuncang Town gradually returned to its peace and former bustle.

The power of the Seven Swords Martial Arts School was greatly reduced, and it took the initiative to shrink its sphere of influence.

The Golden Ape Martial Arts School remained silent and did not occupy any of the vacant areas or markets, but instead focused on managing the Miasma Valley.

Yi Feng was sent to the Miasma Valley to take care of things, while Li Chuan stayed at the Golden Ape Martial Arts School to teach his disciples martial arts. It's worth mentioning that Gao Zheng, through constant training and the gift of a Five Essence Pill and a Blood Essence Condensing Yuan Pill from Su Yan, finally entered the Yang Yuan realm.

Although he had been surpassed by Su Yan a long time ago, it was still a happy thing that he had made a breakthrough now.

Li Chuan accepted him as a disciple. Although he was not under Bai Changlin's name, he was also a true disciple of the martial arts school, and his status was not much different from that of Li Jinshan, Su Yan and others.

He was taught the Golden Ape True Skill, and the Golden Ape Jade Body Skill, which was an auxiliary skill for horizontal practice. As for the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Skill, he was not taught it to him for the time being, to see if his aptitude and comprehension were sufficient to digest these skills.

With Gao Zheng's help, things inside and outside the martial arts school are gradually getting back on track.

He can be said to have truly made up for Lu Ling's shortcomings.

And during this half month, Bai Yun unexpectedly, after honing his skills by fighting with Su Yan using the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Technique and the Fierce Ape Three Styles, he also pushed the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Technique to the realm of perfection.

Her Golden Ape True Skill and Golden Ape Jade Body Skill remained unchanged, but she seemed to have a stronger talent in comprehending the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Skill.

His bones were as hard as iron and his aura was as imposing as a tiger. He had entered a realm of his own.

In this way, his cultivation has also greatly improved, and he is half a step closer to the perfection of nourishing his essence. His true essence has become more powerful, and the shadow of the white ape has shown the appearance of a tiger, and its momentum is already established.

"Lin Yue's visiting card? This is the third one in the past half month, right?"

Su Yan was holding a visiting card with a request for a small gathering, and the host was still Lin Yue as before.

Bai Yun sat opposite and said calmly, "With the change in the assessment method, she naturally lost some of her advantages. The purpose of this small gathering is naturally to win over people and exchange information."

"I'm not going."

Su Yan smiled and said, "They invited me to small gatherings in the past, but I haven't seen such enthusiasm in the past half month. Disciples from the Lin family, the Tianhe Gang, and the Tianfeng Weapon Shop have been inviting me one after another. The frequency is frightening."

"I can't find you in Yuncang Town."

Bai Yun told the truth, but she was actually not much worse, after all, she was also a cultivation scroll king.

"Before, they just thought you were a talented disciple, but now you are one of the most talented people in Yuncang Town."

"Several people?"

"Each family has begun to exert its strength. The Lin family's eldest son Lin Junhao, the fourth son Lin Yuzhi, the Tianfeng Weapon Shop's top disciple Fu Xuejing, and the Wang family's disciple Wang Xiaohu..."

Bai Yun listed the people one by one. Each family had one or two people, about eleven or twelve people in total.

"They all claim to have achieved great success in nourishing the essence, and they all want to see what you can do."

Although Su Yan countered a move with Long Qidao, it was unclear what he relied on. Was it because Long Qidao did not use his full strength, or was it because of the strength of his inner armor?

Therefore, it is okay to admit that he is talented, but it is not certain who can take away the recommendation order from Xiang Ge and others.

"It's really hard work."

Su Yan knew that Bai Yun was reminding him that since he had stirred up the situation, many families and forces were now ready to take out their treasures so that their disciples could improve their cultivation.

Perhaps, it is possible to use the second-level resources to push people into the second level.

"Senior Sister, do you want to go?"

Naturally, Bai Yun was also invited to the party. Bai Yun's talent was also well-known among this group of people.

Bai Yun shook her head: "No, but there will be an exchange meeting organized by Fu Xuejing in a few days, I can go and have a look."

"Swap meeting?"

Su Yan showed a puzzled look, and Bai Yun explained: "Each family has different resources. Especially for a guy like Fu Xuejing who has a good forging talent, they can exchange their own resources with each other."

First-level resources in Yuncang Town can still be purchased on the market, but second-level resources are controlled by each company, so this kind of exchange is sometimes necessary.

Su Yan agreed: "Then you can go and take a look."
-
The mountain wind howled, mixed with the smell of blood, and corpses were scattered all over the mountain road.

The open gate of the village was already in a mess. People were either kneeling on the ground, faces full of fear and not daring to look up, or they had already turned into corpses on the ground.

Yang Lun held a sheep-horn sword in his hand, his eyes cold as he looked at the man kneeling in front of him.

In the barren mountains and green forests, there is the one-eyed deer Lu Zhaofeng, the leader of Yinlu Village.

"You brothers, Cunning Sheep, have broken the rules. Wang Tiangong will not let you off!"

"noisy"

Yang Lun severed his arm with a sword, his eyes icy cold: "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine. You dare to intercept the things from Moshi Village? Can you keep the Heart-Protecting Flower?"

The bandits from Moshi Village searched the entire village. After a long time, Ding Meng came running over.

"Second Brother Yang, we found two Heart-Protecting Flowers, and the remaining herbs have been packed."

"it is good"

Yang Lun nodded, and Lu Zhaofeng's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to speak.

Yang Lun had already slit his throat with a sword and swept his eyes over the crowd.

"Bring the mountain people back, and don't kill the bandits if they surrender."

"Yes"

The crowd suddenly panicked, but the people of Moshi Village had already started to take action and destroyed the entire Yinlu Village.

Ding Meng and Yang Lun led the team back, riding on scaly horses and walking in the front.

This was the second village they had destroyed in the past half month.

The line between Moshizhai and Sandiejian was completely opened, and no other stronghold dared to block it.

"Second Brother Yang, we've found the Heart-Protecting Flower. We've gathered all the herbs our Lord asked us to collect, excluding the second-tier wild beasts. Do we need to proactively look for our Lord?"

In half a month, the two brothers Cunning Sheep Sou consolidated their cultivation in the realm of true meaning. Ding Meng, Wang Cang and Cai Peng also completed the transformation of their skills. The phantom of the beast spirit had transformed into a red-striped leopard.

The three men's strength improved greatly, and they successively achieved great success in nourishing their essence. As a result, Moshizhai and Sandiejian became the largest bandit force.

The more powerful they are, the more loyal they are. They know that all of this was brought by Su Yan.

"Since the adults don't allow us to look for it, then there's no need to look for it."

Yang Lun said, "Continue to collect the medicinal materials for the Beast Yuan Pill. I think these are the most necessary things for you to cultivate the fierce insects. Our abilities come from the Blood Demon Queen. If it continues to grow stronger..."

Before he could finish his words, birds were suddenly startled from the direction of Moshi Village and the sound of a trumpet was heard, which was the alarm of the village.

The two men's expressions changed slightly and became solemn.

Someone is invading the cottage!
Yang Lun and Ding Meng sped up and headed straight for Moshi Village.

At this time, a group of people had already arrived outside the stronghold. There were about forty or fifty of them, wearing tight black robes, with swords on their waists and cold eyes.

Leading the group were two burly, yellow-faced men wearing a khaki short coat and holding a tiger-head stick. Their eyes were like copper bells and they looked very aggressive.

There was a man next to him, dressed in black, with his left arm free. He had a stern face and cold, sinister eyes.

"Xiaoshan Guild's Chief Instructor Xu Sanhu and Deputy Leader Lin Tianlang have come to Moshi Village to admire their reputation!"

The sound was loud, like thunder.

"What a visit! If you didn't know, you would think Xiaoshan was coming to attack the city."

The cunning sheep-sitter Yang Kun appeared on the top of the city wall, his eyes cold as he looked at the people from the Xiaoshan Society under the mountain stronghold.

The two gang leaders really came with bad intentions.
