The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 191 Nantian City Incident
"Yang Kun does have some skills. He opened up the business between Yuncang Town and Nantian City in just a few months. He also has five thousand first-level Yuanshi. He is also very thoughtful."

Five thousand first-level Yuanshi stones converted into gold would be worth seventy to eighty thousand taels, enough for an average True Realm warrior to practice for several months.

The fact that Yang Kun had this ability when he first arrived in Nantian City was enough to prove his ability.

But the bigger the business, the more likely it is to attract other people's attention.

The Yang Kun brothers joined forces to integrate the resources produced by several companies including the Golden Ape Martial Arts School, and transported them to Nantian City for sale. The profit was much higher, and this was also where they made money.

In addition to this, the most important thing is the wild beast essence blood condensed by the blood bees.

The wild beast essence and blood condensed by blood bees contain traces of faint evil spirits and insect blood. It is of higher purity and has better effects than ordinary essence and blood.

This is a specialty product that was directly purchased by Hongyue Danfang. However, with the hot sales of Hongyue Danfang's Blood Essence Pills, this source has now been targeted.

Su Yan went out and directly controlled the six-winged blood centipede, flew down the mountain and headed towards Nantian City.

After entering Nantian City, Su Yan changed his appearance, put on the black robe again, put on the mask, and walked all the way to the place where Yang Kun left.

The courtyard has two entrances, neither too big nor too small, with towering walls, and it is also the layout of a large and deep courtyard.

"who?"

As soon as they approached, two doormen and warriors with the cultivation level of Blood Realm stepped forward to stop them.

"Tell Yang Kun to come out and see me."

The two were stunned, but they were not domineering people: "Wait a moment."

Someone went to report, and soon Yang Kun came out jogging, bowed and said, "Sir, the people below are ignorant, please go inside to talk."

"Um"

Su Yan followed Yang Kun in, crossed the front yard, and came to the hall in the backyard.

Yang Kun asked his men to leave, and then he said respectfully, "I was disrespectful just now, please forgive me, my lord."

"No problem"

Su Yan waved his hand and asked, "How many people are there among you now?"

"There are five warriors in the True Intention Realm: me, Yang Lun, Ding Meng, Wang Cang, and Cai Peng. There are two warriors in the Half-Step True Intention Realm, seven warriors in the Perfect Yang Yuan Realm, and the remaining one hundred warriors in the Moving Blood Realm, Yang Yuan Realm, and Muscle and Bone Realm. We were recruited from Moshi Village, Sandiejian, and Nantian City."

Yang Kun informed Su Yan of the recent situation and said carefully, "Because I was worried that someone would find out my true identity, I took the initiative to move out of my previous residence. Not all the men I mobilized were warriors from Yuncang Town."

"You're right to be cautious."

Yang Kun was able to organize so many people in a short period of time, not counting the men from Moshizhai and Sandiejian, this business was already doing very well.

"Did we supply our materials to the Red Moon Pill Shop?"

"The Red Moon Pill Shop monopolized the blood bee essence at a high price, and the remaining materials were shipped separately to the Ouyang and Liu families' shops."

Shipping goods separately makes it harder for others to take advantage of them, and Yang Kun naturally understands this.

"Who is targeting the blood bee essence?"

"Red Moon Pill Shop's two rivals, Tianyuan Pill Shop and Dachuan Pill Shop."

Yang Kun said, "In Nantian City, the best alchemy business is Danxiang Pavilion, followed by Ouyang Danfang, Tianyuan Danfang, and Dachuan Danfang. Hongyue Danfang is even inferior to the other three."

"The Ouyang family didn't take action?"

"The Ouyang family's steward asked about this matter, but after knowing that the Red Moon Pill Shop had been booked, he didn't ask any further."

Yang Kun paused slightly and said, "The Ouyang family is one of the eight major families in Nantian City. The alchemy workshop is just one of their businesses. The main business is raising wild beasts and planting medicinal plants. That is their foundation."

The Ouyang family is wealthy and powerful. Although the pills from the Red Moon Pill Shop have caused some impact, they will not interfere with other businesses.

"Red Moon Pill Shop wants the blood bee essence blood. What kind of elixir are they refining?"

"I have already bought it, please taste it, my lord."

Yang Kun took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Su Yan.

Su Yan turned over the porcelain bottle, and a red pill the size of a fingernail rolled out and fell into the palm of his hand.

There was a faint fragrance of elixir coming from the air, and the elixir had a round color.

"It's in perfect condition. The alchemy technique is quite good. The technique of sealing the elixir is quite interesting."

Yang Kun introduced, "Red Moon Pill Shop refines pills using blood essence, supplemented with spiritual herbs. This Blood Essence Pill is a top-grade, first-grade pill, priced at one hundred first-grade Yuan Stones, and contains ten pills per bottle. It nourishes Qi, blood, and true essence, slightly improving one's foundation, and is known for its low toxin content."

He paused slightly and said hesitantly, "The Blood Essence Pill is similar to the Blood Strengthening Pill that the Master refined before, but it is more effective. It is considered a top-grade first-class pill."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Of course. The recipe for the Blood Strengthening Pill is simple, and it focuses more on the essence and blood. Besides, my alchemy skills were not very advanced at that time, unlike this alchemist."

It has less toxicity and better effects, and even some warriors who have just entered the true realm can continue to take it.

Such elixirs will naturally become hot-selling commodities.

But the more popular it is, the more it will squeeze out the business of other alchemy shops.

You know, the low- and mid-level pills in the alchemy workshop are the bulk of the revenue.

"What are the plans of the people from Tianyuan Danfang and Dachuan Danfang?"

Su Yan put the pill aside, raised his eyes slightly, and looked very calm.

Yang Kun's face darkened slightly, his eyes icy cold. "Tianyuan Danfang has announced that this blood bee essence is no longer allowed to be supplied to Hongyue Danfang. And Dachuan Danfang... humph, they want to buy the method of refining the wild beast essence blood for 10,000 Yuanshi."

"Each one is more greedy than the other."

Su Yan shook his head slightly, but his eyes became a little colder.

The world is bustling with people seeking profit, this is not a problem.

However, if Su Yan's source of income were to be cut off, that would be a big problem.

"dong dong dong"

There were hurried footsteps, and outside the hall, a subordinate hurriedly passed on a message: "Manager Yang, the second manager of Dachuan Danfang has brought people here, saying that they want to see the boss."

"You're being followed."

Su Yan smiled slightly, and Yang Kun's face darkened: "I was suddenly distracted."

"Let them in."

Su Yan's voice spread, and the subordinate, who was also a discerning person, nodded immediately: "I'll go right away."

Soon, the person was brought in.

There were only three people coming, and the leader was a middle-aged man of medium build, wearing a green robe and a short beard, with a forced smile on his face.

The two people behind him were dressed in martial arts uniforms, with black tiger-head belts around their waists and arm guards on their hands. They had big fists and a strong aura. They were obviously true martial artists.

The arrival of three true warriors is truly a grand spectacle.

"I've long heard of the great name of the owner of the Saint Insect Chamber of Commerce. I hope you won't be offended by Tong Tiandong's hasty visit."

Tong Tiandong pretended to bow, looked at Su Yan with his triangular eyes, and felt a little relieved.

"As expected, he is from a small place. This boss is just a true realm warrior. This matter is done."

He sat down on the chair and looked at Su Yan with a smile.

"Did Dachuan Danfang come here for the wild beast's blood?"

Su Yan just said lightly.

Tong Tiandong frowned, his eyes flashing with displeasure, but he nodded nonetheless. "Yes, I mentioned this to Manager Yang a few days ago. The method of refining the wild beast's blood essence is ingenious, and it's just right for several of the elixirs in my Dachuan Danfang. To show my sincerity, I'm willing to exchange 10,000 Yuan stones for this method."

His voice was high and shrill, harsh to the ears, and his words were condescending.

Yang Kun glared angrily, and the two guards behind Tong Tiandong glared back with their eyes wide open.

"Dachuan Danfang is so shameless and sincere." Su Yan just sneered, but Tong Tiandong changed his expression.

"Why, the boss doesn't want to?"

Tong Tiandong's eyes glared, and he said sinisterly: "The city is not the countryside, and a true realm warrior is not heaven."

"I thought you'd say something."

Su Yan's aura continued to rise, pressing directly against Tong Tiandong.

Tong Tiandong immediately burst out with an aura, and his true meaning condensed into a vicious wolf covered in green fire.

"The second level of the True Realm, is this it?"

Su Yan just pointed his hand, and the surging true energy turned into a centipede phantom, instantly defeating the true meaning.

"puff"

Tong Tiandong spurted out a stream of blood from his mouth, staggered and fell, hitting the tables and chairs.

"How dare you do that!"

The two warriors behind him were about to attack, but Yang Kun had already jumped in front of Su Yan and drew out his sheep-horn sword with a clang.

"stop."

Tong Tiandong stopped his two guards.

His eyes were sinister. "I'll remember this grudge. Well done to you, the Saint Insect Chamber of Commerce. I hope you can continue to be tough in the future."

"Please do"

Tong Tiandong left dejectedly, leaving only Su Yan and Yang Kun in the hall.

"Dachuan Danfang has a beautiful idea. They even sent people to explore the way. It seems that they don't even want to spend 10,000 yuan."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Send Ding Meng and Wang Cang back. I have something to tell you."

"Yes"

Ding Meng and Wang Cang were both working outside, one was responsible for transporting goods and the other was responsible for hunting.

The two received Yang Kun's message and rushed back that night.

In the hall, Su Yan glanced at the three people.

"Not bad. In just a few months, I've already reached the Minor Ape Realm. It seems the city's resources are quite sufficient."

"It's the blood marrow worm's ability to cleanse the blood and strengthen the bones."

Wang Cang's eyes were full of admiration, even though the blood marrow worms were servant worms used by Su Yan to control their life and death.

However, as the fusion continued, the blood marrow worms continued to refine their essence and blood, strengthening their bones bit by bit.

Although it is not as good as the high-level elixir that can transform one completely, its advantage is that it is working all the time.

After a few months, the effect became fully apparent.

From breaking through the realm of true artistic conception to achieving minor success in the Monkey King stage, he basically did not encounter too many obstacles.

It won’t be long before you can reach the peak of the Monkey King stage.

He waved his hand and the Heavenly Evil Mother Locust immediately appeared in the courtyard.

A special connection was felt, and Yang Kun and the other two felt it instantly.

Their eyes widened with surprise.

The master's alien insects have transformed again and become more powerful, isn't that right?
Seeing their surprised eyes, Su Yan smiled and said, "This is a reward for you."

The Heavenly Evil Mother Locust's tail hook squeezed out three balls of blood essence with a hint of evil spirit and flew in front of the three people.

The three of them quickly caught it, looked at Su Yan, and half-knelt down: "Thank you for the reward, Master."

"Swallow."

The three of them swallowed the essence and blood without any hesitation.

Within two breaths, the essence and blood dissolved in their bodies and directly merged into the spinal cord, becoming one with the blood marrow worms.

The blood marrow worm immediately began to wriggle, its flesh and blood changed, and its aura became stronger and stronger during the change, entering a process of metamorphosis.

The stronger the Heavenly Evil Mother Locust is, the stronger the servant insects bred before it will naturally become.

Just like after the blood bee, the evil bee was born.

The blood marrow worm is also a servant worm hatched by it. Now that it has obtained the essence and blood after evolution, it will naturally become stronger.

Yang Kun, Ding Meng and Wang Cang suffered from the pain of evil spirit erosion and the severe pain of spinal changes.

He gritted his teeth and persevered for half an hour. His face was as pale as paper, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was almost exhausted.

Until the blood marrow worm completed its metamorphosis, a powerful essence of blood gushed out from the spine and flowed along the limbs and bones to all parts of the body.

1 The muscles and bones become tighter, the meridians become tougher, and the body's qi and blood increase by % in a single breath.

The three of them focused their eyes, and immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, condensing their own true beast spirits.

The true energy in his body circulated, and the true spirit of the beast became more condensed. After another half an hour, the true energy continued to gather, and his cultivation level was further improved.

The three of them broke through almost at the same time and stepped into the realm of true intention and Ruyi period.

His heart was filled with surprise, and he kowtowed to Su Yan.

"Thank you, Lord, for your gift."

Su Yan raised his hand to let them stand up and said, "This is what you deserve, but in the future, when it comes to breeding blood bees, you can come by yourselves."

They were stunned at first, then showed surprise and realized their own situation.

The blood marrow worm is entrenched in the spine, but with a slight push, it can immediately drill out a tail hook from the spine.

Blood wasp eggs were released one by one, and soon hundreds of them were laid.

The few of them had used up one-fifth of their true energy before they hurriedly stopped.

Su Yan said calmly, "The blood bees can be used for exploration and siege, and the essence and blood they absorb can also be fed back to the blood marrow worms. You and the blood marrow worms are one, and feeding them is also feeding you, which is just right for your cultivation. If you have time, you can accumulate insect eggs and put them in the beast bag for future use."

When the three heard this, they were not afraid at all, but looked happy instead.

It originally only passively accelerated cultivation, but now it can actively absorb essence and blood. This is good news.

Yang Kun was the first to calm down. After thanking Su Yan, he suddenly said, "I wonder if the blood marrow worms can be fostered in the bodies of large wild beasts. If we can cultivate one or two mothers and continuously produce blood bees, our blood essence refining will be greatly improved."

"Wild beast breeding farm?"

Su Yan was quite surprised, but then he reacted: "Servant insect breeding farm?"

"Yes, the master's servant insects reproduce very quickly, and the efficiency of converting the materials they devour into resources is extremely high. They are more suitable for breeding than ordinary wild beasts."

After Yang Kun got involved in several trades, he gradually understood the business of raising wild animals.

There are actually quite a few wild beasts that warriors can tame, even late-stage, perfect second-order wild beasts.

However, some wild beasts are difficult to raise, and the materials that can be used may only be certain parts, and the only valuable thing left is the flesh and blood. The investment in breeding may be higher than the output.

This type of wild beast naturally cannot be domesticated.

For example, the Ouyang family also tames wild beasts with relatively high returns.

No matter what, the ability to continuously extract essence and blood and use the remains as materials seems to be inferior to the servant insect.

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered, "If I could specifically tame another insect like the Sky-Devil Mother Locust, produce servant insects, and extract materials from them, it wouldn't be impossible."
