The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 136 Refining the True Meaning Pill

The Blood Slaughter Hand is undoubtedly more complicated than the Eighteen Styles of the Blood Tiger, but it is also a bit more powerful.

The four moves, Flowing Shadow Killer Hand, Breaking Moon Killer Hand, Tiger Shape Killer Hand and Dragon Striking Killer Hand, are interdependent and only attack but not defend. With so many changes, it is naturally not easy to master them.

Su Yan spent a few days and finally succeeded in getting started.

Bai Yun arrived a little later, but her progress also surprised Su Yan.

Just as Xiang Ge said, her talent and compatibility with the tiger aspect seemed to be far higher than expected.

"I've already mastered the Blood Slaughter Hand and the Eighteen Blood Tiger Styles. The rest of the training is just hard work, but there's no rush. The White Ape's True Intention has already transformed from virtual to real, and the progress has been quite slow. It's a good opportunity to refine the True Intention Pill first, so that I can give Long Qidao some time..."

Su Yan went over the recent events in his mind. Outside the Seven Swords Martial Arts School, the hundreds of blood bees had already been replaced because their lifespan had expired.

Although his intelligence was not high, he had already conveyed a lot of information to Su Yan through surveillance.

Although Long Qidao never goes out of the house, there are quite a few Xiaoshan Society swordsmen who disguise themselves as servants.

Coming in and out, like a diligent messenger.

Su Yan stared at them one by one. He was not afraid that Long Qidao would make any move. The old man was the bait for fishing.

The more Long Qidao moves, the more people will be involved, and it will be easier for him to clean up.

He will have to go to the Beast King Sect in March next year, and he only has a few months left.

Su Yan decided to make the elixir and asked his servants to prepare the charcoal and place it all in the alchemy room.

The alchemy room was a room that Bai Changlin specifically instructed the steward to clean up.

The layout of doors and windows was changed, and a pit for placing charcoal fire and a shelf for placing the alchemy furnace were set up. The layout was almost the same as that of an ordinary alchemy room.

It is worth mentioning that this room originally belonged to Lu Ling.

At the trade fair, Su Yan had already prepared all the materials, especially the black giant ape's spine, which was just right to be the main material for refining the True Meaning Pill.

He took out the materials one by one, and after taking out the black giant ape's spine, he thought for a moment and took out the Abyss Water Leopard's spine as well.

After everything was prepared, he lit the charcoal fire and then placed the alchemy furnace on the flame with ease.

The second time he refined the True Meaning Pill, Su Yan already had previous experience as a foundation, and he was more adept at controlling the pill furnace.

Moreover, he has now reached the realm of true artistic conception. Although he is only at the Monkey King stage, his control over true energy is already incomparable.

Time passed gradually, and after about half a day, the fragrance of the elixir gradually drifted away and lingered in the backyard.

From the alchemy furnace, there was a faint sound of beast roaring, and then it returned to silence.

Su Yan opened the alchemy furnace, and four True Meaning Pills appeared neatly at the bottom of the furnace.

"In perfect condition, Tiger Ape's Roar, looks like it's done. Let's go ask the eldest brother for the money first."

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, divided the medicine into four bottles, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

He didn't need to go look for Li Jinshan. When he pushed the door open, he saw Bai Changlin and others guarding the gate of the courtyard.

It's just ordinary alchemy, nothing special about it.

But Bai Changlin and his companions were not simple people. They sensed the true meaning from the rich fragrance of the elixir.

He also guessed that the elixir refined by his apprentice (junior brother) was not of ordinary grade, so they all came to protect him.

Bai Changlin complained softly, "Why didn't you ask someone to protect you when you were refining the second-level elixir? What if something goes wrong and something dangerous happens?"

As the quality of the elixir gradually increases, the amount of true essence required to be injected will also increase.

At this time, the true essence and medicinal power are fused together. If it is not handled properly, the furnace will explode.

If it is those elixirs of the third, fourth and above levels, the creation of the elixir requires the fusion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and some even require the power of rules.

If the furnace explodes due to failure, that would be dangerous.

“It’s not a dangerous pill.”

Seeing Li Jinshan and Bai Yun there, he smiled and said, "Ten thousand taels each, deduct it from the dividends and give it to me."

As he said this, he threw two porcelain bottles to the two of them.

Li Jinshan and Bai Yun took it and looked at it. The fragrance of the elixir wafted out from the porcelain bottle, and their faces changed slightly.

"This...is this?"

They had doubts in their hearts and looked at Su Yan.

Seeing him nod, he said, "The True Meaning Pill, which contains the Tiger Ape's will, should be able to help you break through the True Meaning level."

"No, it's too precious."

Li Jinshan directly refused, and Bai Yun threw the porcelain bottle back.

"I refined four, and two are enough."

If he wants to break through, Su Yan actually doesn't need the Zhenyi Pill.

He already had a deep understanding of the White Ape's true meaning. The so-called breakthrough was not about breaking through the bottleneck of the true meaning. After all, he already had the true meaning.

All that is needed is the accumulation of energy from virtual to real.

Two True Meaning Pills are enough to accumulate extremely powerful strength and achieve the transformation from virtual to real.

Su Yan's words made Li Jinshan and the others freeze in place, looking at him with disbelief on their faces.

After a long time, this look of disbelief turned into one of mixed emotions.

"Ten thousand taels of silver is too little."

The one who spoke was old man Li Chuan. He said quietly, "Even if you have a good relationship and you don't care about the cost of this pill, how can your brothers and sisters accept such benefits from you?"

The cost of medicinal materials for a dose of Zhenyi Dan is approximately between 20,000 and 30,000, depending on the price fluctuations of the medicinal materials.

Su Yan refined four pills, and it seemed that the cost of each one was between five thousand and eight thousand taels.

Giving ten thousand taels of silver to Li Jinshan and Bai Yun is not a loss, and they may even make a small profit.

But no one present was a fool.

If this thing is taken out, even if it is placed in Bailu County City, it will cost at least 20,000 taels of silver, which can only be higher, not lower.

There are indeed people in the county town who can refine the True Meaning Pill, and there are quite a few of them, but it is still a rare item and has always been monopolized by big families.

But in a town like Yuncang, it is a rare item and the price is even higher.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver. The extra ten thousand taels will be paid by the martial arts school, and another ten thousand taels will be paid as a reward for A Yan's alchemy."

Bai Changlin spoke and divided the money from the public account among his three disciples.

Although the Miasma Valley was being developed, and money from the public account was being spent like water, this money was not saved.

Su Yan smiled and said, "I have no objection."

Since both of them said so, Li Jinshan and Bai Yun had no choice but to nod in agreement and looked at Su Yan with gratitude.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Su Yan gave the pills back to the two people. Bai Changlin told the three of them to calm down and adjust themselves, and then make a breakthrough after their true energy is sufficient and their spirits are full.

Li Chuan still had to teach his disciples, so he left first.

Bai Yun was not good at talking. She just held the porcelain bottle tightly in her hand, said to Su Yan, "I'll go back first", and then turned and left.

The stronger her junior brother became, the harder she tried to catch up.

Su Yan just smiled, said a few more words to Bai Changlin, and returned to the courtyard.

When Li Jinshan was about to leave, Bai Changlin stopped him.

Li Jinshan was stunned for a moment and stopped: "Master, do you have any instructions?"

"You are injured. Even with the help of your junior brother's rejuvenation pill, your injuries will recover quickly, but your spirit and true energy will not reach their peak for a while. I will help you break through in a month."

"Disciple understands and will never let Junior Brother's hard work go to waste."

Bai Changlin nodded, then said meaningfully: "Before your junior brother arrives at the Beast King Sect, don't interfere too much in the affairs of Yunqian Village."

Li Jinshan was startled, with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, this..."

"Your junior brother has no relatives except his uncle who saved his life. He has seldom gone back since he started learning martial arts. It's not that he doesn't care."

Li Jinshan's expression changed, and he immediately understood what his master meant.

"Junior brother, are you trying to hide your tracks?"

"Um"

Bai Changlin nodded: "Xie Yuzhu's family is just ordinary people. If they are involved in the affairs of warriors, it is too easy for something to go wrong. If you want to repay your junior brother, wait and see. Once your junior brother finishes dealing with Yun Cang's affairs and arrives at the Beast King Sect, there should be no problem."

"The disciple understands."

Bai Changlin has always been like an old ape in the forest. Although he doesn't talk much, he really sees through many things.

……

As for Su Yan, he didn't know about the conversation between Li Jinshan and Bai Changlin.

He distributed the pills to the two of them without giving it much thought.

Among his fellow disciples, Li Jinshan and Bai Yun treated him very well, and such friendship was only rewarded with a Zhenyuan Pill.

Moreover, Li Jinshan is in charge of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. If he really leaves, Xie Yuzhu's family will definitely need Li Jinshan's care.

Su Yan returned to the room and took out two bottles of pills. Then he stood in a stance, and his muscles and bones were like dense thunder. His true energy flowed, and his blood rose. Soon, a majestic white ape appeared behind him.

This white ape was wearing insect armor, with protruding spines like a centipede and a ferocious face, like a ferocious ape that had escaped from the insect abyss.

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth, and could feel the true energy and spirit flowing in the white ape's true intention.

Although the power of this thread is not much, it has gradually begun to turn from virtual to real.

"It would be good to speed it up."

He swallowed the Zhenyi Pill in one gulp, and from his throat to his abdomen, he heard the roar of a tiger and ape.

His mind sank as he entered the inner scene of his dantian. He immediately saw a tiger-headed ferocious ape on a lonely rocky peak, striding towards him like a demon star falling from the sky.

Su Yan just smiled, put on the shackles, and locked the tiger-headed ferocious ape.

Then the white ape emerged, strode forward, and fought with it.

After taking two Zhenyi Pills, an endless amount of Zhenyuan and spirit merged into the white ape's body.

It took Su Yan a whole day and night to concentrate his true intention.

A white ape that was about 15 or 16 feet long, with thick insect armor and a realistic appearance was completely condensed.

He had a powerful aura and a taut body, not at all like someone who had just broken through to the true meaning.

[True Artistic Conception: Monkey Heart 57/100 (Beginner)]

The true meanings of the two beast spirits emerged at the same time, and the Dantian acupoints spun wildly like a vortex, swallowing and exhaling true essence, which liquefied into the body.

"With the help of the true intention, it won't take long for me to break through to the Heart Monkey Stage."

Su Yan's progress in cultivation was extremely fast. Now, with his powerful physical body and the two beast spirits constantly absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and using the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique to refine his true essence, his progress was definitely faster than that of anyone else in Yuncang Town.

"I need to catch up on the progress of the Eighteen Blood Tiger Styles and Blood Slaughter Hand. No matter how powerful they are, if they cannot be cultivated to at least the Great Perfection stage, they will be more likely to reveal their flaws when fighting against warriors who are also in the True Meaning Realm."

His eyes moved slightly. The breakthrough in cultivation was certainly worth celebrating, but there were still many areas that needed improvement.

But when he thought of strengthening, his brows furrowed slightly.

The Beast Yuan Pill, Blood Essence Condensation Yuan Pill, and Five Elements Pill are basically all used up, only the True Yuan Pill has some left.

"Fortunately, I have a few tens of thousands of taels extra. I can just ask Elder Li to help me buy some pills and refine another batch."
-
"Seventh Master, the news has been confirmed. Su Yan has received the first-class recommendation order from the Beast King Sect and is the top young man in Yuncang Town."

The Seven Swords Martial Arts School was already deserted except for the old servant.

Long Qidao had white hair and held a pitch-black ghost-head knife with a dragon pattern in his hand, wiping the blade with a heavy brocade towel.

He lowered his eyes, which showed a dead silence and indifference. He just glanced at the young man standing in front of him.

Suddenly, it was like a knife shot out, which scared Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang felt uneasy. Seeing Long Qidao with his white hair and old age made him tremble with fear.

"The lifespan of a true state of mind is two hundred years. Even if the old man is only in the Monkey Heart stage and his lifespan is a little shorter, it shouldn't be this long. Is he really practicing martial arts at the cost of his life?"

"You asked for a shop, and I gave it to you."

He spoke each word in a flat and cold voice.

"If you want a village in the mountains, I'll give it to you."

"I also allow disciples of the sect to practice swordsmanship."

He swept his eyes over, and the brocade passed through the blade, quietly splitting into two and falling to the ground.

"I only seek a chance to annihilate the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. Why do you have to provoke me?"

brush

As he spoke, the blade swept across, splitting the stone table in two.

Lin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "I don't dare. I'm just worried that Su Yan will join the Beast King Sect and become a big problem for us."

"Are you not afraid now?"

For a candidate who receives a first-class recommendation order, joining the Beast King Sect is basically a done deal.

"Although first-class recommendation orders are rare, they are not true disciples of the Beast King Sect after all. In previous recruitments, many candidates were killed."

Lin Xiang blurted out all the rhetoric Lin Tianlang had taught him. He whispered, "No matter how powerful the Beast King Sect is, it has its limits. There are always people in Lingnan Prefecture who want to bring down the Beast King Sect."

"You want cooperation with the Demonic Path?"

Long Qidao was shocked. He didn't expect Xiaoshan to be so bold.

After defeating the demonic sect, the Beast King Sect, the Nine Peaks Sect, the Fire Li Sect, the One Sword Sect and other sects issued a clear ban on any interaction with it.

Although many powerful families in Lingnan Prefecture have some connection with the Demonic Path, no one dares to make it public.

"It's not the Demon Sect."

Lin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly denied: "He's just a warrior from Wuying Tower."

Wuyinglou is a sect that specializes in assassination and espionage. Although it practices murder, its foundation is not obvious. Although its power is not weak, it is not obvious either.

It's not really a demonic path, it has a bit of both good and evil in it, and there might even be some noble people involved in it from an official perspective.

Long Qidao's expression eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The cost of inviting people from Wuying Tower to the county city must be quite high."

"I dare not invite warriors of the True Intention Realm. They are only halfway to the True Intention Realm. They are just dead sword slaves."

"What does Liang Ying want me to do?"

"Seventh Master, please seize the opportunity and wait for the Dead Sword Slave to lure Su Yan here, and then capture him. As long as Su Yan is captured, the Golden Ape Martial Arts School will be at your disposal."

"Okay, let Liang Ying arrange the plan and let me know when the time comes."
