The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 187 Tengwang Cave

In the exchange hall, all kinds of treasures were placed on the list by the sect.

There are many third-level treasures among them, but the more precious they are, the more qualifications are required to exchange them.

Su Yan is an inner sect disciple, and his cultivation level is at the second level of the True Realm. His authority to exchange is not low to begin with, and this time, Hanying Peak has established quite a few functions for exchange.

Su Yan looked at the medicinal materials on the list and thought to himself: "Medicinal materials change with the times, but fortunately, the main ingredients of Guiyi Yuandan and Longhu Jindan are already available in our sect. Together with the Beast Yuandan, it is enough for the cultivation needs during this period."

He couldn't possibly spend all of his 70,000+ contribution points, so he needed to prepare some metamorphosis items to find the ferocious insects.

This time, all the transformed products of the Heavenly Evil Mother Locust came from his master. If he were to plan it on his own, he would probably not be able to find any clues in a month or two.

"Beast Soul Fruit, Diamond Fruit, Dragon Python Bone..."

Su Yan pointed out all the main and auxiliary materials. The disciple in charge of the exchange was surprised and quickly stopped his actions.

"Junior Brother Su, inner disciples can only exchange three Beast Soul Fruits and Diamond Fruits within three months."

The man was rather embarrassed and said, "You are a disciple ranked 200th on the Tiger Ranking. Your quota is higher, but it's still only five. You already redeemed three two months ago, so now you can only redeem two."

Su Yan frowned: "There are such rules?"

"This is to prevent disciples from reselling and wasting sect resources, becoming termites."

Su Yan's brows relaxed slightly. He could understand this a little.

The sect collects and cultivates resources, and the time and energy spent on this are invisible costs. If they are used on their own disciples, it can be considered as exchanging resources for the time of genius to cultivate, which is not a loss.

However, if some people are quite strong but they specialize in obtaining contribution points in order to exchange them for sect resources on a large scale and make huge profits, and the resources are not spent on the disciples, then they will lose money.

The more talented you are, the higher the authority you will gain.

"Brother Lei, I urgently need Guiyi Yuandan and Longhu Jindan for my cultivation. Is there any other way?"

Lei Wen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that the herbs Su Yan pointed out seemed to be the herbs for Guiyi Yuandan and Longhu Jindan.

A mid-grade, second-grade elixir that focuses on cultivating the true meaning and physical body. It is also a best-seller among inner disciples.

"Junior brother, are you a second-level alchemist?"

"Yeah," Su Yan nodded without hiding his identity.

'sharp!'

Lei Wen couldn't help but praise him in his heart. They were all disciples of the Beast King Sect. They had only been in the sect for a few months, but they had already ranked 200th on the Tiger List, and they also had the ability to make pills.

It is not enough to describe it as a monster.

Lei Wen knew Su Yan's identity as an alchemist, and he had an idea in mind. He said, "If you don't entrust the medicinal materials to an alchemist you know, then there are a few good methods."

"First, you can check the consignment hall to see if any disciples are willing to exchange these herbs. Most of the main ingredients for these two kinds of elixirs are cultivated in our sect and are also distributed throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I believe some disciples have stocks and are likely willing to exchange them for elixirs."

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly and he nodded.

Lei Wen continued, "The second method is to accompany the furnace. Each party provides medicinal materials, and one party takes the lead in refining the pills. You can even directly help others refine the pills. After completing a furnace, you will return a few pills, and the rest will belong to the alchemist. Many disciples also like this method."

After hearing the second method, Su Yan thought to himself: "Free technology"

Alchemy depends entirely on skill. The number of pills that can be made minus the medicinal properties of the ingredients is the skill of the alchemist.

How many pills can be refined in one furnace and how many are left are all in the hands of the alchemist.

Apart from setting a price, the collaborators have no other way to compete with the alchemist.

If both parties agree that four pills from one furnace must be given to the partner, then if Su Yan refines nine or more, they will all be his.

Su Yan didn't like the second method and frowned slightly. Although the second method did not require any materials, refining the elixir would take time and energy.

Lei Wen saw what he was thinking and said, "You can actually go to Nantian City to buy them. Nantian City is very busy with merchants and warriors. There is a lot of demand for spiritual medicines like Guiyi Yuandan and Longhu Jindan, so naturally there are people selling them."

Su Yan flipped his hand, and two bottles of pills appeared in his hand. He then said, "Second-level low-grade Blood Essence Condensation Pill, strengthens the blood and flesh, and slightly refines the bones. Second-level low-grade Beast Yuan Pill, nourishes the contracted beast and increases the demon essence. Brother Lei, please hang it up for me in exchange for an equal amount of Beast Soul Fruit and Diamond Fruit."

Lei Wen's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Two more second-level elixirs. If we add Guiyi Yuandan and Longhu Jindan, this Junior Brother Su Yan is really capable."

He said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. The elixirs for feeding the contracted beasts are also in short supply. Some of them can be exchanged with fellow disciples."

Su Yan just nodded slightly and took the materials for Guiyi Yuandan, Longhu Jindan, Shouyuandan and other elixirs, spending a total of less than 6,000 contribution points.

Following Raven's reminder, he also went to the sales hall.

There are all kinds of strange objects here, some of which are entrusted to the sect to be traded here like Su Yan.

In others, the owners of the items came to the scene in person, set up a table and a chair, and simply laid out the items to be exchanged.

Su Yan walked around carefully and indeed collected about three sets of medicinal herbs.

After spending several thousand contribution points, he came out of the Zongwu Pavilion and returned to his own courtyard in Xuanshuang Mountain.

There were only the two of them, the master and the disciple, in Xuanshuang Mountain. Now that Long Qiu Shui was not there, Su Yan was in charge of the entire mountain.

He released all five ferocious insects. The six-winged blood centipede and the shadow-horned spider were slightly larger and were entrenched outside the yard. The flame-armored demon scorpion had already condensed the demon fire, ready to cooperate with Su Yan in refining the elixir. The sky-devil mother locust and the gold-eating demon insect each found a place and looked quiet.

In the insect world, there are some elixirs and some materials of second-level wild beasts.

He threw the elixirs and the flesh and blood of wild beasts to the five ferocious insects, and then opened his bloody mouth and swallowed all of these things.

Su Yan's eyes showed satisfaction. "The six-winged blood centipede and the flame-armored demon scorpion are already halfway through their growth period, and they are only a few days away from reaching maturity. The gold-eating demon insect has reached 240 points of maturity, so it's not far from metamorphosis."

If each of the five ferocious insects can be strengthened a little, it will be of great help to his strength improvement.

He took a short rest and put out the alchemy furnace the next day, with the Flame Armored Demon Scorpion waiting beside him.

[Five Elements Alchemy 21/200 (Minor Success)]

Although I haven't made much alchemy in the past two months, I have made some progress in the Five Elements Alchemy technique. Perhaps it is the accumulation of knowledge learned from other aspects.

"A first-grade, top-grade alchemy furnace is a little lacking in quality after all."

The alchemy furnace was a gift from Pang Tianfeng. It was of decent quality, but compared to a second-level alchemy furnace, it lacked a lot of capabilities.

However, the biggest advantage is that it doesn't cost money and there are no creditors.

Su Yan placed the alchemy materials into the furnace one by one, and then became extremely serious.

True essence flows, control is as smooth as silk

As his cultivation level improved and he became more familiar with the Five Elements Alchemy, alchemy became easier and easier.

25/200...

As time went on, the elixir gradually melted, and the impurities gradually turned into dregs and turned into ashes...

59/200
An hour later, two furnaces of pills were formed, one furnace was the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, and the other was the Guiyi Yuan Pill, each containing seven or eight pills.

Su Yan did not rest either, and directly opened the second furnace. He repeated this cycle over and over again, and his attainments in the Five Elements Alchemy continued to improve.

A few days later, Su Yan looked at the weak Flame Armor Demon Scorpion in front of him, patted his head, and then said, "Have a good rest."

The pills are ready, totaling 67 Blood Essence Condensation Pills, 51 Guiyi Yuan Pills, 48 Dragon and Tiger Golden Pills, and 91 Beast Yuan Pills.

Su Yan swallowed one of the Guiyi Yuandan pills, and a faint beastly roar echoed through his True Intention, constantly strengthening his True Intention. After a long time, he finished refining it and finally revealed a smile.

"These pills can last for about two to three months."

Even though Su Yan earned a lot, he only had five ferocious insects, which was basically the same as raising five gold-eating beasts.

After Su Yan swallowed the pill, he immediately stood in the courtyard to practice martial arts, and his foundation was incredibly solid.

The surging true energy poured in, and the insect energy of the five ferocious insects also flowed into Su Yan's body at this time.

Su Yan only felt that his body was growing like a new bamboo shoot.

He practiced for several days and his skills improved a lot, but it was still not enough.

After several days of fighting, Su Yan gained a lot of insights, but when he sat in meditation and practiced here, his progress was not as good as he had imagined.

"I've reached the Great Perfection of the Ruyi Stage, but I'm still a long way from a breakthrough. I'm only at 109/400, and my true meaning is gathering much more slowly..."

As one's strength grows, the practice of the Star Constellation Mysterious Beast Technique becomes more in-depth, and the condensation of the true meaning gradually becomes more difficult.

Although compared with other disciples, Su Yan's progress has been like riding a rocket.

However, he was already accustomed to rapid progress, so naturally he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe we need to go to Tengwang Cave."

Tengwang Cave is one of the treasured places of the Beast King Sect, specially provided for the cultivation of its disciples.

As an inner disciple, Su Yan naturally had the opportunity to go there.

I heard from the disciples of the Zongwu Pavilion that day that Tengwang Cave has spiritual pressure, can produce illusions, and sharpen the spirit of disciples. It is also a good place for cultivation.

Su Yan packed up his things and put all the ferocious insects into the insect world. After coming down from Xuanshuang Mountain, he went directly to Jiubei Lingtai for a transfer.

Tengwang Cave is located in a valley on the east side of the sect. Su Yan rode a giant black-horned eagle and passed through several peaks before stepping into the formation to form a barrier.

"Token."

Guarding here is a team of mountain protection warriors, led by a female warrior wearing black armor and holding a spear. Her cultivation level is above the third level of the True Realm.

"Disciple of Guizang Valley, Su Yan."

He showed the token, and the female commander's eyes lit up slightly. She handed the token over after verification.

"You can go in now. Everyone inside is a Tiger List disciple. Don't get into any arguments."

Su Yanmian raised his eyebrows. What did this mean? Could it be that the disciples on the Tiger List would choose this time to fight?

He was a little confused, but cultivation was the most important thing, so he strode into the valley.

In the valley, there are huge old trees on both sides that are hundreds of meters high, and dark black vines are everywhere, as if one has returned to the ancient forest overnight.

Su Yan walked along the mountain road, heading into the valley.

A special power appeared and began to bless Su Yan.

"You haven't even entered Fujio Cave yet, and you're already overflowing with power?"

Such a strange phenomenon proves that Tengwang Cave is not a place to please disciples.

Su Yan walked to the end of the valley, and the sound of his footsteps immediately attracted the attention of everyone sitting cross-legged in the heart of the valley.

He glanced across the valley in front of him. There were many cushions placed in various caves, on protruding rocks, under trees, and on trees for the disciples entering the valley to use for cultivation.

At this time, there were about twenty-three people in the valley, one-third of whom were disciples after the 200th one, and all of them had been taught a lesson by Su Yan to varying degrees.

"It's him"

Someone recognized Su Yan and whispered.

The person next to him became curious: "Who is he, a new disciple?"

"He is Su Yan."

When these words were spoken, those who heard them were shocked, while some showed surprised expressions.

I thought that the disciple ranked 200th on the Tiger List would be more burly and mysterious, but Su Yan, who was walking in front of me, looked somewhat ordinary.

However, more people know that vision can be deceiving.

Two hundred, there will be no fraud.

Su Yan's gaze swept across everyone, and finally fell on the huge hole at the deepest part, which was two meters high.

A large number of vines climbed out of the giant cave, like countless tentacles, controlling the entire area, from the surface to the underground.

Su Yan could feel that the special power just now came from this place.

He strode forward and was about to go in.

"Junior brother, wait a minute."

Someone called him, and he turned around and found that the person who spoke was a young woman who was sitting on a cushion and practicing.

"Once you step into Tengwang Cave, you'll experience illusions. You must be fully prepared. The longer you persevere, the greater the rewards you'll gain."

The senior sister who reminded me was not dressed glamorously, just a light green dress, and did not look like a disciple of Broken Moon Peak.

Su Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me of this magical Tengwang Cave."

He was about to step in when suddenly someone stopped him.

"Are you Su Yan?"

His tone was unfriendly, and the eyes of the inner disciples lit up at this moment.

A disciple who was sitting cross-legged behind a rock took a look and showed an expression of disbelief.

"What's the Qing family thinking?"

The person who jumped out was still from the Qing family. He did not have the Qing family surname. He joined the family later. It is no longer possible to verify when he joined the Qing family.

All we know is that his name is Pang Tianhu. He has been a member of the Beast King Sect for five years and has fought his way up from an ordinary inner disciple to the top 200 on the Tiger List.

He is not arrogant, but he always follows the Qing family's lead in everything and has helped many of the Qing family's children to overcome their shortcomings.

Su Yan raised his eyes, and after hearing his unfriendly tone, his eyes turned slightly cold: "Is there something wrong with this senior brother?"

"I heard you made it all the way to 200th place, and you still want to keep going? Some people say you're called Prince Fierce Insect, what a great reputation you have."

He looked him up and down as if he were looking at a thief who had appeared out of nowhere and robbed him.

The look in his eyes made Su Yan feel uncomfortable, and he was very unhappy.

"With a gun and a stick, whose dog are you?"

Su Yan raised his eyes, his gaze like a sword, staring straight into Pang Tianhu's eyes.
