The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 132 Theory of Spiritual Weapons
There is still more than a day left before the appointment at Yanzi Mountain.

Su Yan took advantage of this gap in time and went to Tianfeng Weapon Shop.

Things are different now. He is no longer an unknown person in Yuncang Town.

As soon as I walked into the Tianfeng Weapon Shop, the manager on duty came to greet me with quick steps.

"Dear guest, does Master Su have any weapons that he likes?"

"Customize a second-level big gun."

The manager was slightly taken aback. For a second-tier spear, Ge Ming had to be the one to make it, but the shopkeeper's orders were already booked until next year...

If others refuse, then so be it.

But the person who came was Su Yan, who was the most talented person in Yuncang Town, so it was basically a done deal for him to join the Beast King Sect.

It's not enough to make friends with such a person, so why would you push him out the door?
The manager has always been a smart man who keeps his eyes and ears open, and he thought about the situation in his Tianfeng Weapon Shop.

So he said, "Young Master Su, please wait in the living room with me. I'll ask Young Master Fu to discuss this with you in detail. Customizing a weapon is a big deal. For a martial arts master like you, I'm afraid that if your cultivation level is not high enough, there will be mistakes in the communication, which will be disastrous."

The manager praised Su Yan, bowed slightly, raised his hand and led the way.

The two of them walked through the clanging front yard and came to a living room or wing, where tea, cakes and pastries had already been prepared.

The steward led Su Yan to sit down, and then said, "Mr. Su, please be patient. I will go and invite the young master over."

The steward had already sent someone to inform Fu Xuejing, and was serving Su Yan tea at that moment.

Fu Xuejing had already strode over. He pushed the door open and came in, smiling when he saw Su Yan.

"Brother Su, you should have told me in advance since you were coming so I could set up a banquet and have a couple of drinks."

Fu Xuejing was in a good mood and also wanted to make friends with Su Yan.

Thanks to Su Yan's three rejuvenation pills, Pang Jian's condition has gradually improved.

Although it is not a complete recovery, at least there is not much danger.

It was from Ye Chenyao that Fu Xuejing realized how monstrous Su Yan was. Even if he came to the Beast King Sect, he would not be lost in the crowd.

Alchemy is a popular profession.

Fu Xuejing pulled Su Yan to sit down and asked, "Brother Su, I heard that you want to forge a second-level spear, but is it for the Eighteen Blood Tiger Styles?"

Su Yan nodded: "Yes, the Eighteen Blood Tiger Styles that master gave me complement my boxing skills, and I should be able to forge a handy spear."

He did not hide anything. Since he was here to make weapons, some things had to be made clear.

Fu Xuejing looked a little embarrassed, pondered for a while, and then expressed his concerns.

"In this shop, there are only four people who can forge second-level weapons: the three shopkeepers and me."

"The first manager hasn't fought for a while, and the second manager is now..."

He hesitated to speak, trying to cover up the past: "The Third Shopkeeper and I fought the most, but my skills are still far behind, so I have to let the Third Shopkeeper take action."

He listed everyone from the chief shopkeeper to himself, explaining them one by one, which not only clarified the situation of Tianfeng Weapon Shop, but also expressed his importance to Su Yan.

"Shopkeeper Ge Ming has accepted the forging of three second-tier weapons this year, plus I promised Zhao Ziyun the other day to forge a spear for him. I'm afraid his energy will be limited in the short term."

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "How about this? Let's set up a plan and come forward to explain things to Brother Zhao. I'll forge it for Brother Su first. This way, it won't delay Brother Su's participation in the Beast King Sect's assessment."

The assessment he was talking about was naturally not the screening at Yanzi Mountain.

Instead, he went to the Beast King Sect to take part in the real assessment.

Everyone knows that Su Yan from Yuncang Town will almost certainly be chosen to go to the Beast King Sect.

Su Yan was slightly surprised. He had already prepared to cut in line for the transaction, but now Fu Xuejing actually took the initiative to help coordinate.

Fu Xuejing's attitude was a bit too eager.

"In that case, please trouble Brother Fu."

Organizing a party is just an excuse, but the initiative of forging lies in Tianfeng Weapon Shop. They have the final say on the order of things.

The two chatted for a while and exchanged their experiences in cultivation.

Tianfeng Weapon Shop focuses on horizontal training, and its martial arts mainly use hammer techniques, which are also tough and vigorous. It has a lot to talk about with Su Yan.

Although Fu Xuejing is not as proficient as Su Yan in terms of techniques, his understanding of weapons is more comprehensive than Su Yan's.

"He's truly a monster. His understanding of boxing and horizontal training is so profound that he's like a true master who has immersed himself in this art for a long time."

Thinking of this, Fu Xuejing's eyes secretly revealed admiration.

Suddenly I thought of what Ye Chenyao said, the ability of an alchemist is not only to refine pills according to the recipe, but also to customize and adjust the recipe and assist in cultivation, which are the most powerful aspects of an alchemist.

It is also the basis for judging whether the alchemist is a master.

He kept asking, "Brother Su, I heard that alchemists can adjust the pills according to the condition of the person using them?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows: "Brother Fu, do you have this need?"

Fu Xuejing gritted his teeth and said, "Su Yan should have heard something. To be honest, our second shopkeeper was indeed injured. Thanks to your three rejuvenation pills, he is now much better. I'm not asking for help, but I just want to ask Brother Su if you have any rejuvenation pills and can help Tianfeng Weapon Shop with this."

"My Tianfeng Weapon Shop will cover all expenses and will also provide a piece of second-grade, mid-grade Tiger Refining Stone."

Fu Xuejing listed the price of Tianfeng Weapon Shop.

The best forging materials, in addition to various special metal ores, also include a type of stone, grass, and other materials that, for special reasons, condense a certain kind of power and spiritual energy.

It is shaped like a tiger-refined stone. Although it is just a piece of stone, it can contain the aura of a tiger, and the weapons refined from it also have this aura.

Fu Xuejing knew that Su Yan was planning to practice the Eighteen Styles of the Blood Tiger. Using such tiger-refining stone to refine a spear would undoubtedly be the icing on the cake.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Obedience is worse than respect. Thank you, Brother Fu. Please take me to see the second manager so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

Fu Xuejing immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Sorry to trouble you, Brother Su. Please follow me."

He led Su Yan through the courtyard and walked inside. The three-story mansion was much wider than the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. The backyard was divided into several small courtyards in the east, west, south and north.

In the middle of the courtyard, an old tree stood tall, its lush branches and leaves blocking the sun, making it seem a bit cool.

When Su Yan arrived at the second manager's courtyard, Pang Jian had already gotten up from his bed and was resting in the courtyard.

He was half naked, wearing only a thin black gown and a bandage made of cloth wrapped around his body, which was so tight that it looked like a piece of clothing.

"Second Shopkeeper"

Fu Xuejing came in and bowed respectfully.

Seeing that it was him, Pang Jian smiled slightly: "Why did you bring someone to my place?"

"Second Shopkeeper, he is the one who refined the Rejuvenation Pill and is also the most talented person in Yuncang Town."

"Su Yan..."

Pang Jian had seen Su Yan before. When he was in the Miasma Valley, he had seen him block an attack from the True Meaning.

I originally thought he was a young talent, but I didn't expect that it had only been so long.

With a pair of iron fists, he knocked down eleven or twelve young talents in Yuncang Town.

A pair of skillful hands can also refine second-level pills.

Although Fu Xuejing is good and can forge second-level weapons, his martial arts are far inferior to Su Yan's, and he is a few years older.

"Long time no see, Bai Changlin has accepted a good disciple."

'Not too long.'

Su Yan smiled inwardly, but remained calm as he replied, "Senior, are you feeling better after taking the rejuvenation pill?" "Most of the way better, but the damage to my body is quite severe. The meridians will recover, the fractures... all of which will take some time."

Pang Jian could see that Su Yan came to check on his injuries.

He didn't hide it and took off his clothes: "Come and show me."

Su Yan went forward to check and found that the superficial wounds on his body had healed a lot.

There are also some deeper wounds that have already scabbed over.

However, when his true energy probed into his body and took a look at the meridians and other internal conditions, his condition was much worse than it appeared on the surface.

"After the six-winged blood centipede broke through, its venom became even more sinister and icy, far more potent than that of the white bone centipede. Pang Jian is a True Meaning warrior at the Heart Monkey stage, yet even with this little bit of residual venom, it took several days to clear it all. It seems I underestimated the centipede's venom."

Su Yan took a quick look and deduced the power of the six-winged blood centipede's venom from the way Pang Jian was clearing the remaining poison.

There will be more means to fight in the future.

He put down Pang Jian's hand and said, "It's not just an ordinary wound. There's still some residual poison, but it's not serious."

"what?!"

Fu Xuejing's eyes widened, and Pang Jian's expression changed slightly. He immediately said, "I felt a slight chill in my lungs at night. Could it be the residual poison?"

He thought it was because of his injury that he felt this way.

But I didn't expect it to be the remaining poison.

Su Yan nodded: "It's likely. Brother Fu, please get me some pen and paper. You need to go to Baicaotang or other pharmacies to buy some pills."

"Elixir?"

"Well, Senior Pang Jian's remaining poison isn't serious, and his injuries have healed a lot. There's no need to bother with refining a special elixir. I'll use the Rejuvenation Pill as the main ingredient, and teach you how to combine it with some other elixirs. If you take them in sequence, the effect will be similar."

"I'll go right away."

Fu Xuejing brought out paper and pen, and Su Yan wrote down the names of the poison-clearing pills, heart-protecting pills, and other pills.

He listed the methods of taking the medicine one by one, and then took out a small porcelain bottle with three rejuvenation pills in it.

After explaining everything clearly, Pang Jian immediately started taking the pills.

Crush one rejuvenation pill, half a heart-protecting pill and one-third of a detoxification pill, and take it with water.

In just a cup of tea, Pang Jian's complexion looked much better.

The two men said goodbye to Pang Jian and walked out of his yard.

Fu Xuejing immediately expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much, Brother Su."

Pang Jian was cured because of him. No matter what the process was, Fu Xuejing was determined to accept this favor.

He was originally the disciple of the chief shopkeeper, and now the second shopkeeper would most likely not exclude him, especially the third shopkeeper who didn't care much about things.

It can be said that Fu Xuejing's position is completely stable.

"You're welcome. Do you want to meet Master Ge Ming?"

"That's natural."

Fu Xuejing brought Su Yan to the most secluded and spacious courtyard.

Before either of them entered the yard, they heard the clanging sound of hammering.

As you walk into the yard, the first thing you see is a huge forge with a blazing flame.

A tall woman wearing a tight martial arts uniform and with her long hair tied up behind her was swinging a large black iron hammer, which made a clanging sound as it hit the iron.

She was extremely strong and didn't need any true energy at all. Each strike was enough to make the iron tighter and remove many impurities.

The hammer is as fast as the wind and falls like thunder.

Su Yan and the other two came in and did not interrupt her forging.

After a cup of tea, Ye Chenyao, who had been pounding for who knows how long, gradually stopped.

Ye Chenyao held a sharp knife with a black wooden handle in her hand.

He respectfully handed it to the old man who was drinking tea for his review.

The old man was huge and strong, like a brown bear. Just sitting there he exuded a lot of aura, and it was obvious that he was a truly powerful person in the realm of artistic conception.

"Good, first-grade, top-grade, with a few minor flaws, but it's already better than mine."

Ge Ming saw Ye Chenyao's work. Although it had not been finely polished, it already had such quality.

Although it is very simple and is only a top-grade first-grade weapon, it is a weapon forged from iron ingots and continuously refined.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: "What a powerful forging! If the material was better, or if the polishing time was longer, this knife would have reached the second level. Is this person Ye Chenyao?"

He didn't know Ye Chenyao, but with such cultivation level and meeting her at Ge Ming's place, it was easy to guess her identity.

"Xue Jing, what's this?"

"Su Yan"

Fu Xuejing answered honestly and introduced each other.

Ge Ming's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded continuously: "Seeing is believing, you really have a good foundation."

The skeleton is coordinated and the body shape is perfect, so the body should be suitable for wielding swords, guns, sticks or clubs.

When Fu Xuejing told Ge Mingwei his purpose, he became more serious.

He took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The shop has promised you, so it's no big deal if I help you refine the weapon. What do you think of the spear style you want? Tell me your thoughts."

"Heavy spear, bold and aggressive spearmanship, and the size of the body is designed with me in mind."

“But what is the true meaning of integration?”

"Tiger intention."

"Let me see what materials you have and see if I need to supplement them."

"A piece of second-grade low-grade water-soft steel, a piece of tiger-refining stone, first-grade red gold, and black steel..."

Su Yan listed about eleven or twelve kinds of metals, all of which were deducted from the rations of the gold-eating monster insects.

In the past, Su Yan, who had swept through Sandiejian, Moshizhai and Tianhe Gang Water Village, would have had no shortage of ores.

However, the existence of the gold-eating monster insects has devoured a lot of resources.

Being able to come up with all this shows that Su Yan is a good housekeeper.

When Ge Ming heard these materials, he frowned and his gray beard trembled: "Almost wild beast materials, metal alone is not enough, if you want to unleash the power of the weapon, this is indispensable."

"Are the wild beast materials so important?"

Su Yan didn't know much about weapon refining. Ye Chenyao, who was standing beside him, had already wiped the sweat off her face and let her long hair down. She said leisurely, "My martial arts practice using wild beasts as visualization charts, so there's a theory of resonance. If you want your weapon to last longer, you'll need to get some compatible materials. Maybe you can cultivate spirituality and even transform it into your own spiritual weapon."

Su Yan showed some doubt and asked, "Messenger Ye, what is this spiritual weapon?"

"Call me Miss, or Senior Sister."

Ye Chenyao has a straightforward personality and is almost a replica of the old man Ge Ming.

She said, "The kitchen knives and cleavers used by ordinary people don't have the power to sever hair or cut iron like a reed. They are just ordinary weapons. Weapons of the first and second levels above can be called sharp weapons. They can enhance a certain amount of true essence and blood, and have a certain degree of power. Using them, warriors can significantly increase their combat effectiveness. And going even higher, weapons of the third and fourth levels, because they have spirituality, are called spiritual weapons."
