The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 213 Conflict at the Ceremony
At this time, a large number of Baihu Peak's inner disciples had already gathered at the Baihu Peak's martial arts training ground.

The entire martial arts arena was divided into two levels, the inner and outer levels. There were no seats on the outer level, which was just a temporary area. Hundreds of disciples found places to stand or sit.

A little further in is the location set up by Baihu Peak, with cushions neatly arranged. Further in is a built platform with more than ten positions placed on the left and right.

When Su Yan controlled the six-winged blood centipede to fly over, he saw the gathered crowd from afar.

Two giant black-horned eagles blocked his way in mid-air. The two disciples on them clasped their hands and said, "Junior Brother Su, the Martial Arts Hall is not convenient for landing today. Please come with me. I will take care of your contracted beast."

There were people inside and outside the martial arts hall, and not just disciples like Su Yan, so it was naturally not a convenient place for the contracted beast to stay.

"No need, I'll just put it away."

He moved his body and stepped down from the six-winged blood centipede as if walking in the air. The six-winged blood centipede turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the space of the insect world.

He fell down and landed steadily from a height of one hundred meters.

"Great skills, flexible body movements, and I'm afraid the body is not simple..."

In the front row, Yuan Yi's expression was calm, but his eyes were slightly focused, as if he wanted to see something from Su Yan.

"Brother Yuan, do you care about Su Yan?"

Yuan Yi's actions were seen by a man in blue clothes next to him, who looked a little curious.

"Brother Suo, don't you know the name of this fellow disciple?"

Yuan Yi looked at Suo Yunyi with a slight smile on his face.

Suo Yunyi glanced at the entrance, then retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I know. This is the most talented disciple in the Beast King Sect in the past hundred years. I don't know if this title can suppress him."

"Humph, it's only fifty-seven, not even in the Divine Combination Stage. What's so noteworthy about it?"

A young man with gloomy eyes and a cold expression interrupted from behind. He held a sword in his hand, as if nothing around him was more powerful than the sword in his hand.

"Qi Yufei, you're only ranked thirteenth, so you must have been here for three or four years."

A sweet laugh was heard, and it turned out to be a woman with long light red hair in the corner. She was wearing a light purple martial arts uniform and a jade belt around her waist. She was tall, and her slender hands were playing with a jade knife. She glanced at Qi Yufei.

"Xia Wan'er, what do you mean?"

Qi Yufei's eyes were like swords as he glared back.

Xia Wan'er raised the corner of her mouth slightly and glanced at the dozen or so disciples in the front row.

"He's only been a student for about a year, not even 20 years old, and he's already ranked 57th. We don't even know where he'll rank on the list this time. If you look down on this junior brother, I'm afraid I, Xia Wan'er, will be the first to look down on you."

Xia Wan'er was a disciple of Fu Haifeng and had a straightforward personality. When she said this, the eyes of the people in the front row changed slightly.

It is true that Su Yan's ranking is not as good as theirs for the time being, but at the age of nineteen or twenty, it is not certain that they can make it into the top 100 of the Tiger List within a year.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's why it's better to beat up Junior Brother as soon as possible. Maybe this is the only chance."

Zhao Mingcheng grinned. He was from Guizang Valley. Although he was not from the lineage of the Five Poisons Immortal, he still had a good impression of his junior brothers who came from Guizang Valley, so he half-jokingly changed the subject.

"People are coming."

Lan Yunyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked towards the entrance.

Bai Yun had already gone to the entrance of the martial arts field to personally pick up Su Yan.

She is Xiang Ge's only direct disciple. Now that her master has made a breakthrough, the task of receiving the new guests has naturally been handed over to her.

Of course, this is limited to those within the top 100 of the Tiger List and the Danqiao Zhenren.

The last time she saw Su Yan, she only looked at him from afar. Now that she saw him up close, Bai Yun's eyes became much brighter.

A little thinner, but more imposing.

"Senior sister, long time no see."

Su Yan smiled. As he thought, he was not the only one who had made progress. Bai Yun also reached the Ruyi stage of strength.

"It's been more than five months, but you haven't been inside often."

Bai Yun glanced at him, and Su Yan felt quite embarrassed. After he came back from Hanying Peak and ranked fifty-seventh on the list, he did not stay in the Beast King Sect for many days.

He handed over the brocade box and said, "Master is guarding Hanying Peak and can't come. I want to say hello to Uncle Xiang Ge on Master's behalf. After the ceremony, I have something for you."

Bai Yun was slightly stunned, then nodded: "You take a seat first, and those ranked 100th on the Tiger List can take a seat."

She brought Su Yan to this seat, but just as they got close, they felt something was amiss about this seat.

Su Yan smiled and just glanced at it. Although he didn't know all of them, he could recognize that the disciples ranked in the first two rows were the top ten or top twenty on the Tiger List. Those who were a little further behind, such as his senior brother Gu Songde, were sitting in the middle row.

Before Bai Yun could say anything, Su Yan asked, "Are there any seats in the ranking?"

This question made many people look over sideways.

What does this kid want to do?
Bai Yun looked at Su Yan and knew at a glance that he was going to cause trouble.

This guy is still so domineering at heart.

“No seating”

Su Yan smiled slightly: "Senior Sister, you go ahead and do your work. I'll find a place for myself."

"Well, be careful."

Bai Yun didn't question it. After saying something, she left.

In the peripheral vision of everyone, Su Yan walked towards the first row.

'interesting'

Seeing Su Yan's direction, the Tiger List disciples who arrived earlier all showed subtle expressions.

When everyone arrived, although they were not seated according to their ranking, the seats in the first two rows were still clearly distinguished from the seats in the back rows.

Although Su Yan ranked fifty-seventh, it was still a bit lacking to sit in the front row.

"Senior brother, please make room for me."

嘶

The disciples who were watching the show noticed Su Yan's actions instantly. Su Yan actually walked straight in front of Qi Yufei and calmly said such bold words.

"You know what you're talking about?!"

Qi Yufei's face turned pale in an instant, and his aura was icy cold, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"I said I want this position."

Su Yan's tone remained calm, and the overwhelming momentum did not get close to him at all.

It's not that he heard the whispers of these people before, but when he came here just now, among all the inquiries, Qi Yufei's gaze made him most uncomfortable.

Whoever makes him uncomfortable, Su Yan will make him uncomfortable.

嗖

The momentum was like a sword, gathering together and rushing straight towards Su Yan's body, like a mental attack.

The Seed of Insect Consciousness was activated, and the vast mental power was like a big hand, completely blocking all of Qi Yufei's spreading momentum in front of him, and it could not spread beyond the seat at all.

Feeling that the momentum of confrontation had disappeared, Yuan Yi, Lan Yunyue, Suo Yunyi, Xia Wan'er and others turned their heads abruptly.

They watched the confrontation between Su Yan and Qi Yufei in shock. Qi Yufei's face turned ashen, with veins bulging slightly on his forehead.

Su Yan's expression was calm, and he simply transformed his mental power into a six-winged blood centipede and pressed down.

In an instant, Qi Yufei's body shook slightly, his breath became disordered, and he clenched the sword in his hand.

Lost
In the confrontation of momentum, the condensed spirit was no match for Su Yan. "Hmph, just wait for the competition."

Qi Yufei lost, stood up unwillingly, and walked directly to the back row with a cold face.

If it were somewhere else, he would have taken action, but at Xiang Ge's Danqiao Ceremony, he had to suffer the loss.

He was the one who provoked the situation, so he had to admit his defeat and couldn't just refuse to leave.

Su Yan sat down, with Lan Yunyue in a light blue dress on his left and Zhao Mingcheng on his right.

"Junior brother, you are very capable. It seems that it will soon be your turn to be the chief of Guizang Valley."

Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "My name is Zhao Mingcheng, you should recognize me."

"Meet Senior Brother"

Su Yan also smiled and greeted Zhao Mingcheng.

Zhao Mingcheng acted as a middleman and introduced Yuan Yi, Lan Yunyue and others one by one. Their attitudes were much better than Qi Yufei's, except that Lan Yunyue had a cold personality and was a little indifferent.

"Brother, brother, let me switch places with you."

As soon as they sat down, Xia Wan'er's eyes rolled around and she moved closer to Zhao Mingcheng to change seats.

"Junior Sister Xia, you..."

"I want to get close to Junior Brother Su, so it's inconvenient for you to be here."

Before Zhao Mingcheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Wan'er.

He smiled bitterly and stood up: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Zhao Mingcheng do?
He stood up to change seats for Xia Wan'er, but just as he sat down in the corner, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Hmm? What do you think? I changed my position too, so I shouldn't have offended Junior Sister Xia."

He was a good guy who never offended anyone, but this time he didn't notice Bai Yun who was receiving Danqiao Zhenren. His eyes just swept past him.

"Brother Su, well done."

Xia Wan'er just came over and praised him with a smile.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly: "Do you have a grudge against that guy?"

"He's ranked thirteenth, and I'm fourteenth. I've been wanting to beat up that arrogant guy for a long time. It's a pity that his contracted beast can restrain me."

Got it, a ranking battle.

Although the difference between the thirteenth and fourteenth place is only one, the closer they are, the harder they fight.

"I don't like the way he looks at me."

Su Yan just replied indifferently, and Xia Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a bit of curiosity.

'Such keen perception.'

Xia Wan'er was very interested in Su Yan in front of her. She had heard about Su Yan and the Qing family.

From the entry test to the assessment for ranking, he would really take part if there was a conflict.

Such a straightforward personality is very much to his liking.

The two chatted casually, and about half an hour later, Xiang Ge and other Danqiao Zhenren finally arrived.

Three days passed, and Xiang Ge's aura had been completely restrained. It was as deep as the abyss, and extremely powerful, like a dormant tiger.

He sat in the middle seat, and the eleven people next to him were all Danqiao Zhenren, and more than half of them were Danqiao Zhenren from Baihu Peak.

There are many Danqiao Zhenren in the Beast King Sect, but when Xiang Ge broke through, not all of them were in the sect. Even if they were there, some were in seclusion, and most of them asked their disciples to come and give gifts and participate in the ceremony.

This is different from the mountain.

If the Yamashita family wants to break through, they will have to ask all the surrounding forces to come over.

However, the Beast King Sect had a breakthrough in Danqiao, so this ceremony was more of a preaching ceremony.

"Xiang has achieved a lucky breakthrough. Thank you all fellow disciples for coming. I hope you will gain something from what I have said today."

Xiang Ge was also a straightforward person. After chatting for a few words with Dan Qiao who came with him, he began to preach.

Everyone was concentrating and listening carefully, not wanting to miss a single word.

A quarter of an hour passed like this, and Su Yan became more and more focused, but Xiang Ge had no intention of hiding anything.

Although Xiang Ge did not talk about the techniques on how to condense two golden pills in one go and break through the second level of Danqiao, he talked about the ability to cultivate the foundation and nurture the true meaning.

"They're all valuable information. Understanding the true meaning is like hiding one's strength. Sometimes it's not best to comprehend it out loud, but it can be hidden, accumulating strength, and then used as a boost for a breakthrough... No, it should be a step further, such as hiding the true meaning in addition to the lower dantian, in the middle dantian and upper dantian. The true meaning gathers the true essence, forming a vortex, which slowly converges to form a golden elixir..."

Su Yan gradually realized that Xiang Ge deliberately avoided talking about this point because he was afraid of misleading other disciples.

After all, even if ordinary disciples conceal their intentions and accumulate strength, it is impossible for them to reach the level of breaking through the second level of Danqiao in one fell swoop.

What they need is to learn how to use the true meaning of nurturing to help break through the Danqiao realm.

However, Su Yan's disciples, who were extremely powerful, had a high level of comprehension and could vaguely figure out the underlying meaning.

Su Yan continued to comprehend, and two hours passed in a flash.

After Xiang Ge finished talking about his own insights, the Danqiao Zhenren who were present also made a few comments.

Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Today's ceremony ends here. Everyone go back and digest it well. If you don't understand something, please ask your master or the elders of the martial arts hall."

"Thank you, Master Xiang."

Everyone thanked him in unison and slowly dispersed one after another.

Xia Wan'er stood up and stretched slightly, revealing her tall and straight figure. She smiled and said, "Junior Brother Su, do you want to go to Fuhai Peak with me?"

Su Yan shook his head slightly: "Next time, I have something else to do."

As he spoke, Bai Yun came over.

Xia Wan'er narrowed her eyes slightly: "Okay, then you can't refuse next time."

She left her seat with her long legs and waited until she reached a place where there were fewer people. The purple beast bag on her waist shook slightly, releasing a Yuncang Winged Eagle. She jumped on it and immediately disappeared into the sky.

Bai Yun came to Su Yan, glanced at Su Yan, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Master wants to see you, waiting for you in the main hall."

Is she unhappy?
Although the tone didn't change much, it seemed a bit bland and the same as usual.

Su Yan took out two bottles of pills from the insect world space and handed them to Bai Yun: "Senior Sister, the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill and Guiyi Yuan Pill are for you."

Bai Yun wanted to shake her head, but Su Yan said first, "Take it. I can make pills anyway. When your cultivation level improves in the future, you will have to help me with some things."

"it is good"

Bai Yun did not hesitate. If Su Yan asked her for help, she would never refuse.

What she was worried about was that she couldn't keep up with Su Yan.

"By the way, Senior Sister, is the Beast Subduing Mark you have condensed enough now?"

Bai Yun looked at Su Yan, somewhat puzzled, not knowing what he meant by asking this.

He replied, "According to the request of Master and Grandmaster, I have currently contracted a Jade Tiger. It is more than enough for us, and there is a little surplus, which I will use to strengthen our relationship."

Su Yan smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Then I'll give you a second-level Lingxi tiger. Can you control it?"

Bai Yun opened her cherry lips slightly and looked at Su Yan in surprise. The Lingxi Tiger was of the third-level bloodline. Even if it was still at the second-level strength, it was much more powerful than the average second-level tiger beast.
