The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 151: Star Beast
'This old man has a good heart'

Although Su Yan was a little embarrassed, he wanted to see more directions of cultivation. Although this was a bit of an excuse, it was to cover up the fact that he could contract a multi-headed ferocious insect.

But in fact, it is not a lie. After all, he has the Evil Insect Cauldron. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can continue to comprehend the martial arts.

The more you comprehend, the deeper your foundation will be and the further you will go.

"First, try the Starry Beast Technique. If it's not suitable, then use the Sky Centipede Technique as the foundation, and then find a way to practice the Five Poisons Golden Body Technique."

Thinking of this, Su Yan found the book "Xingxiu Xuanshou Gong" in the corner of the bookshelf as old man Chang Feng said.

He reached out and touched it, and the contents of the Star Constellation Mysterious Beast Technique gradually emerged.

"A third-level, mid-grade technique. The countless stars in the sky, named Twenty-Eight Constellations, draws upon the power of the stars to forge a constellation mystical beast. The beast's true meaning is in harmony with the stars, and its orifices are the stars. Its elixir realm is unparalleled. Unfortunately, my lifespan is insufficient, and I was unable to gather all the stars in the heavens as orifices. I was unable to choose a true meaning to govern my form, and I was trapped until my death. I hope those who come after me will remember this..."

Su Yan was stunned for a moment: "Xingxiu Master Wang Xuanxing, is this his last words?"

He couldn't help but frown slightly. The Star Beast Technique was very powerful. After contracting the wild beast, the power of the stars was drawn into the power of the wild beast. Both the warrior and the contracted beast used the stars as their power.

During this practice, both strength and speed of practice are extremely fast.

Although the Great Wilderness World did not have the clear twenty-eight constellations in the previous life, there are countless stars in the sky, and wild beasts roam everywhere in the Great Wilderness World. There must be corresponding star power, which then turns into wild beast constellations.

Kuijinniu, Cangmulong, Xuanshuicrocodile...

The stars have their own shapes and contain great power. Many exercises have ways to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

For example, when the Yin-Yang Divine Monkey transforms, what is being visualized is the power of the sun and the moon.

Wang Xuanxing used the power of the stars to construct the star beasts around him. This was not just a fantasy, but a bold idea.

"The stars correspond to the hundreds of acupoints in the body. According to him, the cultivation of the beast in the True Meaning Realm has already laid the seeds for a breakthrough to the Danqiao Realm. After the breakthrough, the strength will be even greater..."

"No," Su Yan's expression sternly changed, and he suddenly realized, "There's a trap."

"To contract a desolate beast, one needs at least nine Beast Taming Marks, and that's for a good contract. As one cultivates, the investment will only increase. Even if one has contracted more than twenty desolate beasts at the True Realm, the number of Marks required would probably be enough to consume several years, even decades, and that's assuming one has good talent. Furthermore, the resources required for so many desolate beasts..."

He immediately showed a look of annoyance. No wonder Chang Feng despised this technique so much.

Time and resources are exchanged for strength, even if it is a sure breakthrough to the Danqiao realm, but this road is not easy to walk, and there is no way forward.

"The more contracts I have, the more distracted I become. By the time I finally condense my Dharma image, it's already too late, and there's no follow-up technique..."

"One thousand five hundred contribution points"

The contribution value explains everything. This is the contribution points of new disciples after discount. If it is exchanged normally, it will cost 15,000 points.

Among the third-level skills, the ones that are worth contribution points are the ones that Chang Feng just mentioned.

For the Beast King Sect to be evaluated in this way and given this contribution point, it must have something outstanding.

What Su Yan faces now is a question of choice.

"Although the technique has its limitations, it suits me best. It involves cultivating with a contracted beast, implicitly imbued with the transformations of the stars, each condensed into true meaning."

Su Yan made a decision quickly. The further you go on the path of martial arts, the more difficult and dangerous it becomes.

Ordinary people worry about having no way out, but Su Yan has his own confidence. At least he has the Fierce Insect Cauldron, so he has more room for error than others.

After taking out the Starry Beast Technique, a thin layer of energy protection still wrapped around the entire scroll.

Su Yan came to the second floor where Chang Feng was, and Chang Feng moved and came in front of him.

"Huh, you really dare to choose this."

Chang Feng snorted coldly, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He knew that the book contained Wang Xuanxing's last words. Ordinary disciples would also have doubts after reading it. In addition, with the high contribution points, few people dared to take the risk.

"Whose disciple are you?"

"Xuan Shuang Zhenren Long Qiushui"

Chang Feng showed a look of surprise. "Her disciple? No wonder. Anyway, your lineage has a lot of contribution points. If you can't improve, you can change your technique. Switching to the Five Poisons Golden Body Profound Art midway is not a bad idea, but it will cost more. Oh, and since you've chosen this technique, if you have any contribution points left, exchange it for the Star-Picking Hand; it's also Wang Xuanxing's martial art."

After all, he is the old man in charge of the Cangwu Building. Although Chang Feng is a little annoyed by Su Yan, such a self-righteous genius.

However, he is still willing to give advice when it comes to choosing martial arts techniques.

Su Yan nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Master."

He followed Chang Feng's instructions and looked for the Star-Picking Hand, but when he saw the grade and contribution points, he was dumbfounded.

The third-level low-grade martial art is the Star-Picking Hand. The hands are as white as jade and as bright as stars. They can resist swords and guns, pick stars, and capture countless people. The contribution points are 5000.

Compared with martial arts techniques, martial arts have slightly fewer contribution points.

But Su Yan added the 4700 contribution points given by his master Long Qiu Shui, so his total contribution points was only .

1500 contribution points have been spent on the skills alone, and the remaining points are not enough to exchange for the Star-Picking Hand.

In desperation, he had to choose a small magical power of the Beast Subduing Mark - the Big and Small Ruyi Jue, and spent another 500 contribution points before leaving the Cangwu Tower.

Those who can control the size of wild beasts can use the Beast Subduing Mark to control the wild beasts and change their size. The stronger the mark and the more there are, the stronger the control over the whole body of the wild beast, and the size of the wild beast can be adjusted more freely.

Of course, it is only shrinking for daily use. If you want to fight, you must return to your original appearance so as not to interfere with the operation of the demon energy and exert your full strength.

After coming out of the Cangwu Tower, Su Yan only had 2200 contribution points left.

He had no intention of staying and went to the Zongwu Pavilion on his own.

Zongwu Pavilion is not a separate pavilion like Cangwu Tower.

On the contrary, the continuous attic courtyards look like a palace.

Sect missions, selling items, exchanging elixirs, weapons, and many other matters all have their own places.

When Su Yan arrived here, he saw disciples coming and going, it was very lively.

"I already have the main technique, and my master has promised me a contracted beast. I also have six-winged blood centipedes and other ferocious insects myself, so I'm not short of beasts to command. However, the Heavenly Python Dharma Body requires a sacrifice to begin with, and I don't know what the wild beasts provided by the sect are like..."

Half of the Beast King Sect's cultivation is above these contracted beasts. Naturally, the supply of contracted beasts is particularly important in the sect.

Su Yan asked someone for directions and arrived at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. As soon as he walked in, he heard a lot of beast roars.

The Beast Pavilion has its own separate courtyard with tall buildings and spacious grounds. When you enter the pavilion, you will see an extremely spacious hall and a high service counter. Several managers are standing behind the counter, receiving fellow disciples.

Su Yan walked over. Behind the counter was a high wall with special tablets of various sizes hanging on it. It was divided into two areas.

Wherever there are first-level wild beasts, there are large black iron plates with the name of the wild beast, its rank, strength, remaining quantity and contribution points written on them.

Second-tier desolate beasts were all marked with copper-yellow and silver-patterned plaques, bearing the same information as above. However, aside from contribution points, there were additional restrictions, such as the cultivation level required for redemption. Su Yan stood in front of the counter, scanning the plaques covering the entire wall. Among the hundreds of plaques, he quickly spotted the desolate beast he desired, such as a snake or python.

"It's quite a lot."

Wild beasts like snakes and pythons are already very powerful, and they are also popular as contracted beasts.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "A first-level desolate beast is generally around 500 contribution points, but a second-level one is 2,000. That's really expensive."

"What to exchange?"

The manager here is a woman in her thirties, of average appearance, wearing a light pink dress, but with a nice figure.

She glanced at Su Yan and frowned slightly, as if she could see that he was a new disciple.

Su Yan pointed to the third row of the second wall: "A black gold ancient python."

"That'll take eighteen hundred points."

The woman frowned, implying that how could a new disciple have so many contribution points?
Su Yan just raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Well, is there a problem?"

Su Yan swiped the inner disciple token, and the amount of contribution points was revealed.

The woman was startled and nodded immediately: "Wait a moment"

She took out a beast bag and placed it on the counter.

"Junior brother, you are a new inner sect disciple, right? Did the elders give you a beast bag? If not, you must prepare one, otherwise it will be difficult to bring back this black gold ancient python."

She shook the beast bag lightly, and a three-meter-long, pitch-black, ferocious giant python with golden patterns all over it landed on the hall.

The black gold ancient python was under a restriction, and its demonic energy was blocked at this time. For a moment, it was dejected and could not muster any strength at all.

This is the method used by the Beast Pavilion, and it is also for the convenience of the sect's disciples.

"How much is a beast bag?"

"The price for a new disciple is a first-level beast bag that can hold three beasts, and 300 contribution points."

"Change them all together."

Su Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he really couldn't save these contribution points, and he even had reasonable doubts.

The skills require 300 to 500 contribution points, and martial arts, beast bags, and storage rings, all add up. Even if you get first place in the inner door assessment, you will probably have trouble with the contribution points. This is all calculated.

While thinking, Su Yan had already experienced the black gold ancient python. The beast bag was handed to him by the female steward and she also taught him how to use it.

The true essence is inserted into the control, and with the spirit as the guide, the beast bag can be opened and closed.

Su Yan took out the inner disciple token and prepared to hand it to the female manager.

Before it was delivered, an annoying voice came from beside him.

"Junior brother, I also need this black gold ancient python. I wonder if you can part with it?"

The man was dressed in green, with a white jade belt around his waist and a slender sword in his hand. He looked confident, but his fake smile made people feel a little annoyed.

Su Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and the man introduced: "Yao Yunzhou from Baimang Peak greets Junior Brother."

The man was about to capture the Black Gold Ancient Python. Su Yan frowned and asked the female manager, "Is there such a rule in the sect?"

The female steward glanced at Yao Yunzhou, her brows furrowed slightly. "The sect's resource exchange is a benefit provided to disciples by the sect. It has always been a first-come, first-served basis for those who meet the requirements. Whether to give it up or not is up to you."

Su Yan smiled, looked at Yao Yunzhou, and said lightly: "Brother Yao, please forgive me, I have a great use for this black gold ancient python."

Su Yan's refusal did not make Yao Yunzhou angry: "Junior brother, it seems that you want to practice the "Scorching Sun Snake Spirit Art"."

Even if a new disciple wanted to redeem "The Fiery Sun Snake Technique", it would cost one thousand contribution points. It was truly eye-catching that a new disciple could have so many contribution points.

Su Yan looked at Yao Yunzhou and said nothing more: "Brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Yao Yunzhou shook his head slightly. "Since Junior Brother doesn't want to, then forget it. I'll look for another second-tier snake species. However, the Black Gold Ancient Python has strong defenses and its body is like gold. It is very different from the violent Fiery Sun Snake. Junior Brother, please take care of yourself."

Yao Yunzhou left. The female steward glanced at Su Yan and finally said, "Do you really not know him or are you not afraid of him? I haven't seen such a new disciple in a long time."

"What's the difference?"

The female steward raised her eyes slightly and said, "Yao Yunzhou of White Python Peak is ranked 47th on the Beast King Sect Tiger Ranking. He has been on the list for three years. Calculating the time, his ranking should move up a few points this year."

The inner sect’s tiger list, the elixir’s dragon list.

Su Yan only heard a little bit about it, but the female manager didn't have time to say more. After handing over the items and contribution points to Su Yan, she returned to the counter.

"Did Yao Yunzhou come here specifically to find me, or is this just a coincidence?"

After leaving the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, Su Yan's eyes moved slightly. It was not surprising that conflicts arose in the exchange of resources within the sect.

However, among the many nameplates just now, there are still two or three second-level python-like wild beasts. Unless Yao Yunzhou uses the black gold ancient python to practice special skills, it is unlikely that there will be no substitutes.

Moreover, the inner disciple who can make it onto the Tiger List is ranked 47th, so he must be at least in the third realm of the True Realm.

He is two small realms behind, and he has the nerve to compete with new disciples for resources?
Su Yan didn't pay too much attention to it. At the moment, there was not enough information and he couldn't deduce anything.

He turned around and went to the Jiubei Lingtai, summoned a giant black-horned eagle, and headed towards Guizang Valley.

On the other side, after Su Yan left, Yao Yunzhou brought another young man back to the Beast Pavilion.

The young man was no more than twenty years old, wearing a black and white military uniform. He stood straight, had slightly dark skin, and looked quite handsome.

"Yun Tao, the White Python Transformation into a Dragon Technique that you practice requires you to condense the true meaning of the white python, so that you can transform into a dragon step by step and step into the deeper depths of the martial arts. You won the inner sect rank and changed the skills by yourself. This is your ability. Choose a second-level python beast yourself. It will be my gift to you."

"Brother, did you really see that Su Yan just now?"

Yao Yuntao did not rush to choose his contracted beast, but asked his brother.

"Well, you didn't lose unfairly."

Yao Yunzhou nodded slightly, but his eyes were calm.

He had just met Su Yan. On the one hand, he really needed to find a python to give to his younger brother, but on the other hand, he really wanted to see what the person who defeated his younger brother and successfully broke through the five levels looked like.

He speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, is full of vigor, has made many contributions, and probably has a good background. Such a person is very difficult to deal with.

"He broke through five levels, so naturally I can't beat him."

"Martial arts isn't about who's stronger at a certain moment, but about who's further along. When you first enter the True Meaning, your martial arts are powerful, and it's difficult to defeat many alone, but it's not impossible. The further you advance, the harder it becomes. If you're in the second or third realm of the True Meaning, are you still afraid of him? Transform your skills as quickly as possible and refine your True Meaning. After three months, several brothers on the Tiger List will be removed from the list due to their age limits. I think with the new Tiger List, three or five new disciples will be added. You still have a chance."
