The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 209 Changes in Nantian City

The water in the cold pond surged and immediately turned into a layer of freezing ice.

The shadows of weapons kept shooting down, all landing on this layer of solid ice.

A crisp sound was heard, and in just a moment, the solid ice shattered and was pierced by the falling weapon.

The dark water toad python moved its body and kept dodging in this hundred-foot cold pond.

But faced with so many weapons, it was impossible to escape.

The scales were broken, and cracks appeared on the body.

The cold pond was dyed red with blood. The dark water toad python let out a crazy roar like a trapped beast, opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a dark blue cold air.

A dark area appeared in front of the Swallowing Moth, as dark as an unfathomable black hole.

All attacks were blocked by this defense, and then a whip was formed, shooting towards the Dark Water Toad Python along the attack.

The whip rope instantly controlled the Dark Water Toad Python, and then a huge force dragged it out, and its huge body was clearly revealed on the shore.

Its entire body is dark blue, with layers of scales. Its head looks like a ferocious toad, and its eyes are as cold as a knife that can steal someone's life in secret.

It struggled continuously, but the Soldier-Swallowing Moth didn't give it any chance.

Eighteen sword projections shot down from above, instantly piercing through its body and nailing it to the ground.

The fight between the two lasted only a few dozen breaths, and Su Yan was very satisfied with the overwhelming performance of the Swallowing Soldier Moth.

Su Yan walked forward, the Heavenly Python's Dharma Body began to move, and the spirit of the ancient black gold python began to wander.

The bloody mouth opened wide and bit the dark water toad python in an instant.

"Roar"

The Dark Water Toad Python roared in pain, and its body continued to struggle to escape from this terrible swallowing.

But Su Yan didn't give it this chance at all. He pressed his palm on its head, and the Heavenly Python Dharma Body started to devour it at the same time.

The location of his palm was like a black hole, swallowing up the entire head of the Ghost Water Toad Python in an instant.

The white bones seemed to have been weathered, without a trace of flesh and blood.

In just a few moments, the entire Dark Water Toad Python was completely swallowed by the Sky Python Dharma Body.

[True Artistic Realm Condensation Stage: 100/400 (Great Accomplishment)]

[Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra: 178/200 (Minor Success)]

[Heavenly Python Dharmakaya: 1/400 (Great Accomplishment)]

The essence of the Dark Water Toad Python was refined and merged into the Heavenly Python Dharma Body along with the Black Gold Ancient Python.

Su Yan was surrounded by Dharma bodies protecting him, emitting a majestic aura.

"Next place."

Su Yan just restrained his momentum slightly, and then without stopping, he and Nangong Hongyue arrived at another valley.

The one trapped here is a rainbow mountain anaconda, which is huge, no less than ten feet long, as heavy as a mountain, and with scales like crystal. It is definitely a late-stage second-order evil beast.

This time, Su Yan did not let the Swallowing Soldier Moth take action, but did it himself without using any special means.

As the Heavenly Python's Dharmakaya opened, the two python spirits protected its body and it smashed the Rainbow Mountain Boa's head with its fists, devouring and refining its flesh, blood, and spirit, which became the foundation of the Heavenly Python's Dharmakaya.

As his horizontal training improved, his Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra also made great progress. Su Yan's body became even stronger, and he could withstand weapons without being at a disadvantage.

"It's a pity that there are only two pythons like this in this small secret realm. If there were one more, perhaps I could cultivate the Heavenly Python Dharmakaya to a deeper level."

Su Yan felt a little regretful, but he also knew that most of the resources in the small secret realm had been swept away. Although there were still wild beasts left, most of them were not very powerful and were used to maintain the ecology.

Killing them might help you accumulate some resources, but it would actually take a lot more effort to develop the entire secret realm later on.

"This small secret place is a natural breeding and planting ground, but it's not suitable for frequent use in a short period of time. You can quietly grow some things there for three to five months."

Since something like this happened in the small secret realm, the three tribes and the Tianshui Sect will keep a close eye on this place.

The probability of using it openly is not high, but with three tribal heirs as insiders, it is not difficult to develop it secretly.

"And the Lingxi Tiger..."

Su Yan thought of the Lingxi Tiger, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he came to the Sanshan Cave.

The Lingxi Tiger had been tortured to the point of being extremely weak. Even though it was at the third level of strength, it still could not escape the torture as its spine was controlled and its demonic energy was constantly being drained.

For a whole month, the pain that penetrated deep into my bones would come from time to time.

A quarter of an hour, half a quarter of an hour, an hour...

The pain has no fixed time. Sometimes, it is even more torturous because when the Lingxi Tiger is not being tortured, it hears the painful groans of its offspring.

"How about it, do you still want to persist?"

Su Yan's indifferent gaze swept over the Lingxi Tiger. The third-level Lingxi Tiger just raised its head slightly, and there was a hint of despair in its eyes.

Su Yan now exuded the aura of a third-order evil beast.

This means that the human warrior in front of him has mastered the power of the third level in a short period of time.

Even though it is quite powerful, it becomes insignificant compared to this human.

"Roar"

A submissive roar sounded, and the Lingxi Tiger lowered its head.

Su Yan nodded in satisfaction: "Your descendants will suppress other wild beasts on my behalf in this secret realm to ensure the safety of your descendants. You will stay by my side and obey my orders."

He threw a bottle of beast essence pill to Lingxihu. Lingxihu didn't hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp, recovering some of the lost demon essence.

Su Yan put away the Lingxi Tiger and then left the cave.

An entrance was quietly opened with a secret order, right in the valley outside Yangjiao Mountain.

As soon as he and Nangong Hongyue appeared, he scanned the surrounding environment with his spiritual sense and smiled.

There were indeed many more warriors inside and outside Yangjiao Mountain, including warriors from the three tribes and warriors from outside.

Within a month, the news of the appearance of the small secret realm spread like wildfire, naturally attracting many independent cultivators who wanted to seize the opportunity.

However, it is obvious that the people who come here have no ability to break through the spatial barrier of the small secret realm and can only wait and see on the periphery.

There have been quite a few minor conflicts this month.

Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue avoided these warriors, found a deserted place, summoned a six-winged blood centipede, soared into the sky, and headed straight for Nantian City.
-
In Nantian City, although Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue have not appeared for a month, the Hongyue Danfang is developing at a good momentum.

Each force is trying to consolidate the market they have snatched from Tianyuan Danfang and Dachuan Danfang. Although there is competition, it will not be particularly fierce.

As the fuse of the incident, the Hongyue Danfang has a hidden power that naturally makes people wary, so no one will provoke it.

When Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue returned to Nantian City, the cunning old man Yang Kun reported all the matters one by one.

"The Holy Insect Sect has recruited over a thousand disciples, including ten True Intention Realm warriors. They've taken control of the three breeding farms on Nanyang Mountain, Bianshan Valley, and Xiaomeng Mountain, and are now operating normally. They're currently infiltrating Yunlan Town, nestled between the two mountains and the valley." "Thanks to the elixirs left by Miss Hongyue and the master, Hongyue Alchemy Workshop has become the second-best alchemy workshop in Nantian City. This month, they've harvested over 13,000 Yuanshi. After purchasing alchemy materials, they still have 8,000 left... However, the remaining elixirs are insufficient."

Yang Kun was about to hand the account to Su Yan, but Su Yan just waved his hand and said, "Recruit another honest alchemist."

"I understand. I'm already searching for a lone alchemist in Nantian City, and I've made some progress."

Su Yan nodded and said, "There is a place in the Yanwu Mountains of the Shiwan Mountains. You can order some obedient subordinates to go there and run it as a supply base for the medicine shop."

Yang Kun's eyes lit up, and then he showed admiration. He was indeed the master, and any move he made was generous.

"Yes, I will send my trusted confidants over, especially those who have taken the insect pill."

The so-called insect pill is a pill containing blood bee eggs. When the pill enters the body, the eggs will not hatch. However, if you disobey the order, the blood bees will take your life.

Blood bees are naturally not as good as blood marrow worms, but they are also a kind of primary control, which is just right for warriors who are below the realm of true intention.

Moreover, as the blood marrow worms continue to evolve, the control methods of these servants are actually also improving.

"Actually, they can learn some witchcraft."

Nangong Hongyue interrupted, "The bloodline of the Heavenly Evil Mother Locust gives us the ability to control lower-level blood bees and evil bees with blood marrow worms. If we add Gu magic, it can be greatly enhanced. I have also refined some insect eggs into Gu in the past few days, which has stronger control and power. It is worth it to use a few resources to enhance control."

Su Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go and teach them. Inside the Red Moon Pill Shop, your subordinates must also be controlled by the Gu."

Nangong Hongyue didn't show any dissatisfaction and nodded: "I will."

She was born in the Baiku Witch Clan and will not be merciful. In the past, there was no chance of control, but it is different now.

The power bestowed by the Tiansha Mother Locust lineage alone gave her enough confidence to control her subordinates on a large scale.

To be frank, although the means were not clean, the control of the entire Red Moon Pill Shop and the Holy Insect Sect was no less than that of some old families in the city.

After Su Yan made the arrangements, he took Yang Kun and headed straight to Nanyang Mountain.

Yang Lun dismissed everyone, and now only Su Yan, Nangong Hongyue and Ding Meng were left.

Su Yan summoned the Rock Demon Ant Queen, and with her appeared twelve Rock Demon Ant Generals.

The Rock Demon Ants will be refined by the queen's blood. Although they are not as close as the newly born ant beasts after refining, they are also affected by it and are easier to control.

All the rock demon ants before were absorbed by the queen ant, completely healing their injuries and accumulating enough energy.

Level three!

Yang Kun and Ding Meng were shocked. This was a power comparable to that of a warrior in the Danqiao realm.

Their hearts were filled with emotion and they couldn't help but sigh. If they didn't have their master, they might still be bandits and half-step true warriors, and they wouldn't have the status they have today.

Hiss
'They lay eggs and hatch, building an ant nest at the foot of this mountain'

Su Yan gave the order, and insect eggs began to be born one after another in the abdomen of the Rock Demon Ant Queen.

The insect eggs are like black crystals, about the size of two fists, and are filled with rich vitality.

In about half an hour, three hundred insect eggs were laid.

The Rock Demon Ant Queen's breath dropped slightly, and her mental power suddenly spread. Soon, the insect eggs began to hatch.

One by one, rock demon ants crawled out. They were the size of a palm and looked ferocious, but they lacked some black crystals on the outside of their shells.

"Click"

As soon as the rock ants came out, they devoured the outer shells of the insect eggs, then began to gnaw on the rock and soil bit by bit and started digging holes.

"The queen ants can communicate. You will assist in the construction of the underground insect nest. You should know how to manage the production of rock ant black crystals and rock ant exuviae in the future."

Yang Kun suddenly had an idea and said, "Actually, selling materials isn't very profitable. If I could run my own refinery, I'd get the most profit. Rumors are circulating in the city that the Ye family is in big trouble."

Yang Kun is the oldest among Su Yan's men. He was originally known for his cunningness, hence the nickname "Cunning Sheep Old Man".

Now that he has gradually established a firm foothold in Nantian City, he has naturally spread a lot of spies in the city.

Although it was just rumors, he did find something strange.

The Ye family ancestor became too powerful after coming out of seclusion.

The Liu family just tried to test the waters a little, and the Qing family acted as a pusher.

Ye Chengqiu went straight to the door with his sword and split the Liu family's door open.

Logically, this was just a counterattack.

But the Cunning Sheep Old Man disagreed. "The Ye family's ancestor is said to be over three hundred years old. While his cultivation is not weak, he's still a First Heaven warrior, and his lifespan is limited. Logically, he shouldn't rashly engage in a fight. After all, the Liu family member is only a little over two hundred years old."

At this point, fighting and getting injured will affect your cultivation and will have an impact on subsequent breakthroughs.

Ye Chengqiu's actions were undoubtedly impulsive, and more like an attempt to cover up something.

Su Yan smiled: "The Patriarch of the Ye family and an elder died in the Shiwan Mountains. But the most important thing is that the materials that Ye Liufeng wanted to refine the spiritual weapon were also left there."

Different from other spiritual weapons, the natal spiritual weapon is closely connected with the warrior. With the continuous sacrifice and refinement of the inner scene of the Dantian, it has the possibility of continuous improvement.

Therefore, it is particularly important to sacrifice and refine your natal spiritual weapon.

This is especially true for a third-level weapon refiner like Ye Liufeng. If everything goes well, he may be able to break through to the Danqiao realm with the help of refining.

嘶

Yang Kun realized instantly that the two members of the Ye family might have been killed by their master.

He thought about it for a long time and immediately said, "In this case, we can wait and see. The Ye family has already been watched by others, and now we have lost two half-step Danqiao masters, one of whom is Ye Qin. I am afraid that many villains will further test us. As long as they are in chaos, we will have a chance."

"Just do it if you want to. Just improve your cultivation level."

"I understand. With the blood marrow worms here, my improvement will not be slow."

Although the blood marrow worm is a parasitic symbiosis, it is also equivalent to a built-in elixir that constantly refines the essence and blood.

Although only a month has passed, the strength of the cunning old man Yang Kun has improved a lot.

Ok?
Su Yan had just returned from Nanyang Mountain and entered Nantian City when he discovered that the inner disciple token was vibrating slightly.

He took out the token, performed a hand gesture, and sensed a very brief message coming from it.

"Tiger Ranking disciples, please return quickly!"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "It's been a month or two since I came down the mountain. Does that mean the competition is coming soon?"

The disciples on the Tiger List compete regularly, and the last competition was just a test run to allow new disciples to fill the vacancies.

This time, it is obviously a real fight. From the first to the 300th place, anyone who wants to fight can do so.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Alright, this time when I go back, I'll refine my own spiritual weapon and take the first place on the Tiger Ranking."

With the third-level ferocious insect in hand, he felt more confident.
