The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 199 Transmutation

The life span of a warrior in the Danqiao realm is 500 years. Even if his cultivation is limited and he cannot reach the fourth Danqiao realm, Zhuxingtian, the life span can be slightly reduced.

But these two hundred years of age is not really a very old age in this Danqiao world.

The Liu family's ancestor is so young that he may have the potential to make further progress. This is also the reason why the Liu family is so arrogant.

So January.

In Nangong Danfang, Su Yan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the aura on his body suddenly changed, becoming a little stronger.

[Level 1912 Insect Master 10000/]

[Features: Insect Bone Armor, Insect Identification Seed]

[Insect World: 1000 cubic meters]

[True Artistic Condensation Stage: 97/100 (Beginner)]

[Heavenly Evil Mother Locust 19/100 (Newborn)]

[Shadow Horned Spider 123/200 (Growth Stage)]

[Gold-eating Monster Insect: 0/4 (Metamorphosis)]

"After the third level, the speed of the insect master's improvement gradually slowed down. The experience points required are indeed too high. Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining the same 1 point of experience is much higher than that of the first level."

Su Yan looked thoughtful. He knew that the so-called experience level was actually the level of improvement.

The higher your strength, the more precious every bit of improvement is. This also applies to your martial arts, skills, and ferocious insects.

He is someone who has personally experienced the benefits of upgrading the insect master's level.

At the second level, his talent of insect bone armor almost made him stand at the top position among the martial artists of the same level.

He continuously strengthens his foundation and bones, and trains his body to a level far beyond that of an average warrior. With the blessing of insect armor, his strength can also skyrocket. You can imagine how powerful this talent is.

Su Yan didn’t know how many amazing and extraordinary natural martial bodies there were in this wild martial world, but the insect bone armor body could definitely occupy a place.

The second insect consciousness seed gave him an extremely powerful spirit and the ability to control ferocious insects as if his clone had descended.

One inside and one outside, his combat power was raised to more than one level.

This is the foundation of a stable life.

"A fourth-level insect master will only become more powerful, and can also control even more powerful ferocious insects."

Su Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to plan to upgrade the insect master's level.

If he wanted to improve, he simply had to increase the strength of the ferocious insects in his hands, which was what he had been doing.

Another point is to refine more strange insects and wild beasts.

[Gold-eating Monster Insect: 0/4 (Metamorphosis)]

[Transformed Items: Amethyst Treasure Sand, Amber Crystal, Level 3 Spiritual Weapon, Black Steel Ore Vein]

Su Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the transformed object. Amethyst sand and amber crystal were both third-level materials, mostly used in the refining of spiritual weapons. These things were all treasures.

However, Nantian City is the provincial capital after all. With the financial resources Su Yan currently controls, although it may be a bit troublesome to obtain these two things, there is still a chance.

He had a ready-made black crystal knife in his hand, which was a third-level spiritual weapon. It was Yang Lechuan's relic, and it was now of use.

But this black steel vein is a first-level metal vein. The black steel mined is one of the materials for forging first- and second-level sharp weapons.

It can be said that ten fine iron veins are not as good as one black steel vein.

As long as the reserves are considerable, it is not a problem for a force to establish a century-long foundation.

It is not so easy for Su Yan to get a black steel vein.

He took out the black crystal knife and placed it directly in front of the gold-eating monster insect.

The gold-eating insect received his instruction and immediately opened its bloody mouth, making a crackling sound.

The original power contained in the spiritual weapon was completely swallowed up in one gulp, without leaving any trace.

Under its restraint, the extremely sturdy blade was swallowed into its stomach bite by bite.

In just a cup of tea, the spiritual weapon worth at least tens of thousands of yuan was completely devoured.

"hiss"

The gold-eating demon insect let out a joyful sound, and the Gengjin power contained in its body became even stronger, and its origin became a little richer.

Every transformed object swallowed will consolidate their foundation and accumulate enough power for transformation.

Su Yan gently stroked the body of the gold-eating demon insect, which was warm with a hint of coolness.

His mental power moved slightly, and Nangong Hongyue, who was meditating in the next room, immediately heard his call, stood up suddenly, and came to him.

"Owner"

Nangong Hongyue's pupils shrank slightly. She saw the gold-eating insect and instinctively felt that it seemed to be even stronger.

"How much money is left on the books?"

"One hundred thousand first-level Yuanshi"

One hundred thousand first-level Yuanshi, this is the number of Yuanshi that some true realm warriors may not be able to obtain in their entire lifetime.

Su Yan frowned slightly. Although the number was not small, it was still a big gap compared to the resources he needed.

"We just took over the power of Dachuan Danfang. There are many places that need to be consolidated. We also need silver to purchase medicinal materials. In particular, several animal farms require at least 500 yuan stones of feed every day."

Five hundred yuan stones would be equivalent to six or seven thousand taels of gold.

All I can say is that what wild beasts need is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

"Help me find two materials, Amethyst Treasure Sand and Amber Crystal."

Nangong Hongyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "There is an auction at the Treasure Pavilion that may show some third-level materials, but it is not certain that these two types will appear. Third-level materials are already the weapon refining materials required by warriors at the fourth level of the True Meaning Realm and the Danqiao Realm. They will not be released on the market easily."

All companies are consciously controlling third-level items.

These things, whether used to refine weapons or make elixirs, or to create winning items for formations or soul-sealing talismans, are all extremely powerful things.

If the third-level resources are used properly, it will undoubtedly increase the number of Danqiao warriors.

This is not good news for some people, so they will subconsciously control it and keep it for their own people to use.

Su Yan frowned: "What can I do?"

Nangong Hongyue said, "It's barter. The Ye family's main business is refining equipment. They control almost 70% of the high-level refining materials on the market in Nantian City. They are likely to have some."

For third-level items, you should at least exchange them for third-level items.

Su Yan nodded: "Just to test the waters." Nangong Hongyue agreed. Su Yan thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "You came from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Have you ever heard of any insects or beasts that live in clusters and whose materials are valuable?"

Nangong Hongyue showed a look of surprise, then quickly realized what was happening and asked, "Master, do you want to raise insects?"

She knew that Su Yan's ability to control the ferocious insects was amazing. Even though she was a practitioner of witchcraft, it would be difficult for her to control five such powerful and mysterious ferocious insects at the same time.

Su Yan was able to do it, so now he wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of this alien insect, obviously he had this consideration.

"Um"

Su Yan did not deny it either.

Since he wants to improve the level of the insect master, he needs more ferocious insects. At the same time, if he can convert them into resources in his own hands, it will be even more worthwhile.

"Rock Steel Ant"

Nangong Hongyue said, "I know there's a nest of rock steel ants in the Yanwu Mountains of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It will definitely meet your requirements."

"Tell me more carefully?"

"Rocksteel ants feed on rock, soil, and metal, devouring and transforming them. They are as strong as a calf but as powerful as a diamond. Although they are only at the first level, warriors of the same level don't want to provoke them. They are difficult to defeat, and there are too many of them. When they gather together, coupled with the second-level soldier ants in the ant colony, even a half-step Danqiao will be in danger."

After all, a Half-Step Danqiao warrior is still a true realm warrior and cannot fly.

Faced with the endless stream of rock ants, they can only be piled up to death.

Ten years have passed, and there are probably no less than ten thousand worker ants in this nest of rock steel ants in the Yanwu Mountains, making them difficult to deal with.

"How far is the Yanwu Mountain Range from your Baiku Wumen?"

"At least eight hundred miles"

Nangong Hongyue said: "The Yanwu Mountains are crisscrossed with jagged teeth and have many spiritual veins, but most of them are spiritual eyes. There are strange beasts and dangerous places inside, making it difficult to station. It is mostly a place explored by independent cultivators and warriors from various factions."

When there are too many independent cultivators, chaos is likely to occur, but compared to being within the sphere of influence of the Baiku Wumen, this distance is already considered safe.

"If we're looking for black steel ore, we might have to look in the Shiwan Mountains."

Su Yan had an idea in his mind, and then said: "Help me find out about the Amethyst Treasure Sand and the Amber Crystal first."
-
When Su Yan had a need, Nangong Hongyue spread the news immediately.

There are not many third-level materials on the market. Although I left information at Duobao Pavilion, unfortunately, Duobao Pavilion did not collect the two things, Amethyst Treasure Sand and Amber Crystal, during this period.

Nangong Hongyue found the Ye family.

She is the owner of the alchemy workshop and a warrior who has reached the half-step alchemy level. With such an identity, even if the Ye family has a warrior who has the alchemy level, they still need to take her seriously.

"Master Nangong, the Ye family does have some of these two things: Amethyst Treasure Sand and Ground Amber Crystal. My uncle Ye Liufeng is preparing to forge a third-level spiritual weapon, so I'm afraid he can't move it lightly."

In the living room, Nangong Hongyue sat in front of a middle-aged man in a white robe.

Ye Qin knew Nangong Hongyue's purpose and politely declined.

The Ye family is a family of weapon refining. Although they can make money by buying and selling raw materials if the price is right.

But if this continues, wouldn't the Ye family become a merchant family that helps people collect materials, wasting their ancestral craftsmanship?

Therefore, Ye Qin would not agree easily.

Nangong Hongyue frowned slightly and said, "Master Ye, I know that the Ye family prioritizes refining weapons, but this material is also very useful to me. The market price of Amethyst Treasure Sand and Amber Crystal is around 20,000 shi. I am willing to pay a 50% premium and purchase it for 30,000 shi."

Ye Qin's eyes moved slightly, but he did not agree.

The premium is indeed not low, but it is not necessary to make a move, unless...

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then said, "It's not a matter of price, but the material is related to a spiritual weapon."

Nangong Hongyue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is it really impossible?"

Ye Qin showed an embarrassment: "Unless there is a replacement in the materials, otherwise... Master Nangong is half a step into the Danqiao?"

He suddenly asked, and Nangong Hongyue became alert.

"Yes"

Ye Qin said: "In fact, the best main material for this spiritual weapon is the Lingxi Tiger."

"Spiritual Tiger?"

Nangong Hongyue's expression was subtle, and she said calmly, "The Lingxi Tiger's bloodline is not low. Its spiritual rhinoceros is armor, making it invulnerable to swords and spears. A warrior of the same level may not be able to defeat it."

"That's right," Ye Qin said, "That's right. The horns, bones, and skin of the Lingxi Tiger are the core materials for forging this spiritual weapon. If we have the Lingxi Tiger, we won't need the Amethyst Treasure Sand and the Amber Crystal."

"Do you want me to give you a spiritual tiger?"

Nangong Hongyue sneered. The Lingxi Tiger was a third-level evil beast. Even if she was half a step away from the Danqiao stage and her methods were sophisticated, it would be impossible for her to kill it by crossing levels like this.

Moreover, the materials of a third-level evil beast are far more precious than these two third-level materials.

Ye Qin quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I want to ask Nangong Fangzhu to help me deal with this group of Lingxi tigers."

Nangong Hongyue's sneer widened after hearing this. Ye Qin explained, "Our clan has received news that a den of seven Lingxi tigers was discovered in the Shiwan Mountains. The leader is a Level 3, early stage evil beast, but the rest are only Level 2, late stage, and Level 2, perfect females and their offspring. Our ancestor personally took action to deal with the Level 3 Lingxi tigers, and the rest need help."

The late second stage and the perfect second stage are basically equivalent to warriors at the fourth level of the True Realm and half a step into the Danqiao realm.

The strength of the battle depends on the talent and bloodline of the wild beast. There is no doubt that the Lingxi Tiger is an extremely difficult species to deal with.

"There are quite a few warriors in the Ye family who are at the Divine Combination stage, right?"

Ye Qin was not trying to refine a spiritual weapon, but clearly wanted to capture the entire nest of Lingxi tigers in one fell swoop.

Ye Qin said: "We do have some warriors at the Divine Combination Stage, but we can't send that many."

He was indeed telling the truth. His ancestor was a warrior at the Danqiao realm, and he, the head of the family, and the three elders were all warriors at the Half-Step Danqiao and Shenhe stages.

In addition, the second and third branches are both warriors in the Divine Hegemony Stage.

In one family, there is one Danqiao warrior, two half-step Danqiao warriors, and four Shenhe period warriors. It can be said that their strength is extremely impressive.

If you hide some strength in secret, it is not impossible to capture this Lingxi Tiger.

Ye Qin explained, "This is a serious matter, so we can't mobilize all of them. If Nangong Fangzhu can come to help, I will offer you two third-level materials and a pseudo-third-level spiritual weapon."

Nangong Hongyue showed a look of surprise. A pseudo third-level spiritual weapon was the best among the second-level weapons. It already contained a trace of the origin and charm of a spiritual weapon. As long as it was nurtured over the years, it could be transformed into a spiritual weapon within ten years if one was lucky.

The three things added together are worth at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The Ye family is indeed a weapon-refining family, and they are really wealthy.

However, Nangong Hongyue fell into deep thought.

"Reject him."

Suddenly, Su Yan's voice sounded in her mind, which made Nangong Hongyue's pupils shrink slightly.

She remained expressionless, only shaking her head to decline, "I'm not good at fighting, and I'm afraid I'll be a drag. Purple Crystal Treasure Sand and Earth Amber Crystal are not meant for me, so I'm sorry to bother Patriarch Ye."

Ye Qin's eyes darkened slightly, and he shook his head and said, "This is a pity. I hope Master Nangong won't reveal the matter of the Lingxi Tiger for the time being."

"As it should be."

The negotiations failed, so Nangong Hongyue did not stay long and got up to leave.

Ye Qin's face was gloomy, and he muttered to himself, "You're not willing to help either. This woman is quite cautious. But in this case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find help."

In Nantian City, most of the warriors who have reached the half-step Danqiao stage are related to various families, and there are not many independent cultivators.

Nangong Hongyue must have some means to defeat Yang Lechuan and Dongfang Mu, and she has no connection with the Eight Great Families, so the risk of her information leaking out is naturally much lower.

"That Lingxi Tiger is already injured. We must act quickly. Otherwise, it won't be easy after it recovers."
