The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 163 Incubation
Long Qiu Shui said it easily, but in fact, it is not that easy to hatch the eggs of the shadow-horned spider and complete the transformation of the bloodline.

The next day, Su Yan was frightened by the noise made by Long Qiu Shui.

Long Qiu Shui was seen controlling the Xuanshuang Sky Centipede, his body transformed into a hundred-foot-long body, with demonic energy coming out of his mouth, connecting the entire Xuanshuang Mountain's veins.

Xuanshuang Mountain was instantly shrouded in clouds and mist, and a powerful formation suddenly rose up, with a faint aura similar to that of the nine tablets on the Nine Tablets Spiritual Platform that day.

Long Qiu Shui was located at the top of Xuanshuang Mountain, and Su Yan was standing at the bottom. He saw the true meaning of Xuanshuang Sky Centipede emerging from her body. Her shell was as white as jade, and her long whiskers were fluttering, not like tentacles, but more like dragon whiskers.

The beast spirit's true meaning rose against the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it circled left and right with its contracted beast, the Black Frost Sky Centipede, as if wrapping up the entire Black Frost Mountain.

Suddenly, the mountain shook. Guided by Long Qiu Shui's true energy, the ground in front of her cracked, and a spring about ten feet long suddenly emerged.

The spring water is clear and spiritual energy lingers around it. This is the gathering of spiritual energy from Xuanshuang Mountain.

"I activated the Black Frost Mountain formation to condense the earth's spiritual energy and placed the Shadow Horn Spider eggs into it."

"Yes"

Su Yan put the insect eggs in it, and the spring water seemed to come alive and began to surround the insect eggs, constantly circling on their surface, moisturizing the eggs bit by bit.

The purple lines are brighter, exuding a fresh breath.

Two third-level Yuan stones appeared in Long Qiu Shui's hands and were thrown into the two poles of the spring. Soon they turned into mist, covering the surface of the spring.

Long Qiushui said, "This month, you must devote all your energy to refining the Hundred Poison Seals. Before the beast hatches, integrate each of the Hundred Poison Seals you obtain into it. The beast that is born in this way will be under your complete control."

Among the contracted beasts, the smaller the wild beast is and the more juvenile it is, the easier it is to control, not to mention when it is in the egg state.

Su Yan nodded in agreement. Long Qiu Shui gave him a few more instructions before leaving Xuanshuang Mountain. No one knew where he was going.

Su Yan stayed alone in Xuanshuang Mountain. Except that no one brought food to the mountain and he had to take care of it himself, the rest of his days were no different from those in Guizang Mountain.

Every morning he would practice the Hundred Poison Seal, and in the afternoon he would hone his martial arts skills, such as the Blood Slaughter Hand, and other horizontal exercises.

He had plenty of medicinal resources, and Xuanshuang Mountain had activated the formation at this time, with spiritual energy gathering. It was a good time to practice.

He devoted himself completely to cultivation, and within a few days, he had condensed another Hundred Poisons Seal.

The Heavenly Python Dharmakaya and the Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra have also made considerable progress.

At the same time, the release of the Inner Sect Tiger List finally caused quite a stir.

On the White Python Peak, Yao Yuntao injected all fifteen beast-suppressing marks into the body of the blood anaconda in front of him.

Although the blood anaconda kept struggling, hissing and showing its ferocity, he finally held down its head and completely subdued it.

A ten-foot-long white python appeared behind him, with a dangerous aura, as if it was about to merge into the body of the blood anaconda.

"The Monkey King's mind is fully developed!"

A gleam of light flashed in Yao Yuntao's eyes, and his true energy gradually converged.

"clap clap"

Yao Yunzhou clapped his hands softly and said, "Transform your true meaning completely. Connect your contracted beast to your true meaning. In the future, you can exchange contribution points for items that can transform you into a dragon. This will lay a good foundation. With the help of your family, you may be able to become a Danqiao Zhenren."

"Compared to my elder brother, I'm still far behind."

Yao Yunzhou shook his head slightly: "You are just a little behind in time."

He paused slightly, and Yao Yuntao noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I heard a piece of news about Su Yan a few days ago."

Yao Yuntao's expression became serious, and he asked, "How is it?"

"News came from Guizang Valley. A few days ago, Su Yan fought alone against seven people. He used the two vicious centipedes of True Meaning and Contracted Beast to defeat seven fellow disciples, all of whom were second- and third-year disciples."

Yao Yuntao looked surprised.

Yao Yunzhou said, "I suspect it's the work of the contracted beast. If you want to make your name on the Tiger List in your first year, you have to pay more attention to it."

"I understand."

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Yao Yuntao's eyes. He raised his head slightly and said, "I'm going to the martial arts arena."

……

On the Canglong Peak, Qingtian slashed the target in front of him with his sword one by one, and the human stake made of second-level black steel was directly cut in half.

"The sword takes the form of a dragon, and the Dragon Riding Sword Technique has achieved minor success. Your Black Jade Python has also transformed into a Green Ink Dragon, entering the second realm of True Meaning, the Condensing Power Stage. Among this batch of disciples, only Su Yan can rival you."

The old man with green beard held a dark green wooden sword in his hand, stroked his beard and smiled, showing satisfaction to Qing Tianyi.

"Second Grandfather, that Su Yan kid is just relying on the power of his contracted beast. Although he beat me by a small margin in the entrance exam, it's just martial arts..."

"Don't be arrogant. The Long Qiushui clan has always been protective of their people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given him such a ferocious centipede beast."

Qing Yunheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke, "You've already broken through to the Ruyi Stage. Even with the Jiao Muwei our clan has prepared for you, some of the second-generation disciples, and even those further down the list, might not be your match. As per tradition, the twenty-one people on the new list, regardless of whether they're newly promoted inner disciples like you or not, will have a final competition at the end of the month. If you can come in first among the newly promoted inner disciples, I'll propose to the sect that you join me in the Xuanyu Cold Pond to temper your body and nourish your bones."

Qingtian's eyes flickered slightly, but he frowned: "Only the first one can go?"

"Not really, but something happened and I had to send a disciple over there to fill in the gap."

The strength of the sect comes first. If you have the strength, everything will be easy.

But if he doesn't have the strength, what does it matter if he Qingyunheng is a Danqiao Zhenren?
There is no way to get your own people involved in this matter.

Qing Yunheng's eyes flickered slightly, but this Su Yan was indeed an obstacle for Tianyi. It would depend on whether he was a whetstone or a Nanshan stone. If he blocked the way, he would have to resort to some tricks.

……

Baihu Peak, Martial Arts Field

"Second-year disciple Ouyang Tianhong challenges the 288th on the Tiger Ranking."

Bai Yun had just finished practicing with the spear, integrating the Eighteen Blood Tiger Styles into every spear move. Before he could leave the training ground, he was stopped by someone.

"Well, let's do it."

She just raised her eyes slightly without any hesitation.

The woman named Ouyang Tianhong gritted her teeth and released her contracted beast, the Purple Light Leopard. Holding two mandarin duck swords, she pounced like a female leopard.

Bai Yun's eyes narrowed, and a two-meter-long white-browed, golden-bearded evil jade tiger jumped out of the beast bag on his waist. It pounced, merged with the power of the spear, and directly charged towards the opposite side.

He is obviously a little bit weaker in strength, but he is only one step away from reaching the peak of the Heart Monkey Stage.

But in the process of opening and closing, there is a tendency to sacrifice one's life.

Cooperate closely with Sha Yuhu, and go straight to the vital points when attacking.

After fighting for forty or fifty rounds, Ouyang Tianhong was hit by Sha Yuhu and Zi Guang Bao was knocked over by a shot.

"admit!"

Bai Yun bowed, and without caring about Ouyang Tianhong's expression, she turned and strode away. ...

In the seven peaks and one valley, disciples from all over the place were fighting each other. Some were waiting for the final spiritual platform fight, but some could not resist the desire to challenge.

For a time, even disciples like Bai Yun were challenged many times within a few days.

She advanced from the Minor Success stage of the Monkey King to the Great Success stage of the Monkey King.

During this period, they were defeated twice, but after a breakthrough, they fought back.

Until he was defeated by a disciple in the Ruyi period, he dropped two places and ranked 290th.
-
"The Zongwu Pavilion is really good at playing games. They started the competition for the Tiger Ranking early. Right now, the number of injuries in fights has increased by 30% out of thin air."

In a room on the middle floor of the Zongwu Pavilion, Lei Yuxi of Baimang Peak snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Lei, it's inevitable for a warrior to be injured. The sect forbids disciples from killing each other. Even if you are injured, it's manageable. There's no need to do this."

A man in a grey robe with a face as white as jade and a calm demeanor sat at the main seat. He smiled faintly, "Besides, this matter has always been decided by the chiefs. We are just making suggestions."

"Humph, you guys are the ones with the most tricks."

Lei Yuxi snorted, "The Three Flames Palace is ready to make a move. Signs are already appearing everywhere, especially inside and outside the Hundred Peaks Barrier. If too many inner disciples are injured, few will be able to gain experience."

"Let's get down to business. I'm in a hurry."

Long Qiu Shui interrupted their conversation with an impatient look.

"Senior Sister Long, of course you're not worried. I heard that your disciple fought against seven people alone and defeated several Ruyi-level disciples."

Long Qiushui simply raised his eyes slightly and said, "You are quite well-informed."

"Junior Sister Long is right. It's time to get down to business."

Qian Mulan, the leader, nodded slowly and said, "This time, the Hundred Peaks Barrier will be changing guard. Junior Sister Long, Senior Brother Lei, Junior Sister Shui, and Junior Brother Yu will go together to guard the five peaks: Hanying Peak, Songshan Peak, Mengding Peak, Longhua Peak, and Wangfeng Peak respectively. The mountains and towns within and outside the Five Peaks have been managed by us for more than a decade, and they have been tainted by a lot of corruption."

"This time, by removing the garrison, we are eradicating these evil forces from behind."

Lei Yuxi's eyes narrowed as he asked, "But are we going to add another peak?"

"Um"

Qian Mulan nodded: "We are just the vanguard soldiers, let's make preparations. Outside the barrier, the Jianxuan Peak's veins have been nurturing for a long time. The sect is ready to seal the formation and integrate it into the Hundred Peaks Barrier."

Shui Manyi's expression turned serious. "With such a big commotion, I'm afraid those crazy people from the Three Flames Palace or even the Holy Soldiers Sect won't let it go."

Lei Yuxi snorted, "They're already fighting to the death with us, so what's the use of any more actions?"

"This time, Danqiao Zhenren will be in charge, but to root out those spies, the disciples will have to take action. Junior brothers and sisters, please take this opportunity to select some disciples to follow you and do things for you, so that you can act more conveniently."

Qian Mulan was giving some advice, but he was also trying to curry favor. If this matter was accomplished, the disciples who followed him would definitely receive contribution points.

If there is an outstanding disciple among the inner sect's tiger list, it would be a good thing to make friends with such a disciple or even accept him as a disciple.

Several people planned carefully, sorted out the key points of the Five Peaks, set their respective tasks, and worked for more than half a day before leaving one after another.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

After Long Qiu Shui came back from Zongwu Pavilion, he started fighting with Su Yan with Xuanshuang Tiancentipede every day.

Su Yan was not allowed to take action and could only fight against the Six-Winged Blood Centipede and the Star-Moon Centipede.

The Xuanshuang Sky Centipede is extremely powerful. Its ferocious aura and the power of its bloodline constantly arouse the ferocity of the Six-Winged Blood Centipede and intentionally stimulate its bloodline.

Su Yan knew that Long Qiu Shui had good intentions, so whenever he fought, he would meditate and reflect. Half a month later, the starlight on the Star-Moon Centipede had become twice as dense, becoming more solid and powerful.

Originally, it was just the polishing of the true meaning and the contracted beast, but later, Long Qiu Shui actually personally ordered a jade sword and started fighting with Su Yan.

Su Yan could use all means except the strange beasts, and three true meanings came out at the same time, like a star god, rushing towards Long Qiu Shui.

"You're functioning smoothly, managing three tasks simultaneously without feeling any strain. Your mental strength is quite good."

Facing the three attacks of true meaning, Long Qiu Shui's long clothes floated slightly, and with just a point of his jade finger, the true energy gathered on the jade sword.

"whoosh"

The jade sword attacked, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the three heads of true intention and blocked them. If it had not shown mercy, they would have been injured.

Su Yan swung his spear and attacked towards the jade sword.

When the blades touched, the jade sword suddenly split into two parts, turning into white rays on the left and right, heading straight for Su Yan.

He rolled over to avoid it, and the sapphire scales appeared. With the blessing of the Heavenly Python's Dharma Body, he struck out with a bloody handprint.

The jade sword shook slightly, merged into one, instantly pierced through the bloody handprint, and then fell in front of Su Yan.

"The fighting spirit is very good. Even without the six-winged blood centipede, you should be able to defeat seven of them alone."

Long Qiu Shui was full of praise. Although she was the winner, the martial arts displayed by this disciple integrated the traces of the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique, Blood Slaughter Hand and some other martial arts into one, flowing smoothly without any pause. It was obvious that these were all skills that had reached the highest level or even the highest level.

Such martial arts skills show how strong his understanding is.

"You know too little about the methods of Danqiao. If you really encounter one in the future, you must be more careful."

Long Qiu Shui reviewed everything for Su Yan and pointed out his shortcomings.

Su Yan took the opportunity to ask, "Master, what is the difference between Danqiao Zhenren and Zhenyijing?"

"Those who have Danqiao (a form of elixir) open up the Danqiao (a form of elixir) throughout their body, absorbing the power of heaven and earth, transcending the mundane world, and being able to fly through the sky and escape into the earth. This is the beginning."

Long Qiushui explained slowly, without hiding anything: "There are 365 acupoints in the human body that have been discovered. In addition, there are three palaces of Dan acupoints, which are the perfect Dan acupoint realm."

"Three Palaces Danqiao?"

"Well, the inner scene of the Dantian acupoint evolves, and the true essence condenses into a pill. This is the first heaven. The middle Dantian nourishes the essence and condenses it into a pill. This is the second heaven. The pill in the upper Dantian nourishes the spirit and soul. This is the third heaven. The third heaven is fixed, like the sun and the moon. Going further up, the three golden pills light up the stars. This is the starry heaven. There are four realms in total."

Long Qiu Shui explained the path to the Danqiao clearly, leaving Su Yan with an impression.

She changed the subject and stopped talking, saying, "What you're worried about is the spiritual weapon nurtured in the body of a Danqiao Zhenren. Weapons are spiritual, each with its own magical properties and infinite transformations. Remember not to treat them like sharp weapons and just go straight for it. I know you have horizontal training skills, but horizontal training is for survival, not for direct combat. After you achieve Danqiao, you must refine some protective gear. For now, be careful of those True Yijing warriors who have obtained spiritual weapons by chance."

A warrior of the true meaning cannot fully activate it, but holding a spiritual weapon can eventually unleash a stronger force.

"The disciple understands."

"buzz"

Just as the two of them finished talking, Xuanshuang Mountain suddenly shook slightly.

Long Qiushui's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately said, "It's about to hatch, follow me."

She brought Su Yan to the spiritual spring, and sure enough, the shadow-horned spider eggs were already glowing purple, and their vitality was about to burst out.

"Condensate the Mark of the Subduing Beast, help it hatch, and control it."

Su Yan nodded, reached out, and suddenly a line of text appeared in front of him.
