The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 214: Conditions for Subduing the Tiger
"Take it, why not take the good stuff?!"

Before Bai Yun agreed, Xiang Ge's voice came into their ears.

Bai Yun's face was embarrassed. Su Yan curled his lips and muttered, "Eavesdropping."

"Eavesdropping, come here quickly, do you still want the "Subduing Tiger Vajra Body"?"

Su Yan's eyes lit up, and then he said to Bai Yun: "Let's go to the main hall."

Bai Yun nodded, and took Su Yan to the main hall one after another.

In the back mountain behind Baihu Peak is the Taoist temple of Hu Yangming.

The back mountain is steep and shaped like a crouching tiger. The special structure of the earth veins has formed a vivid tiger.

Apart from Hu Yangming's lineage, there were almost no other disciples coming here. It was quite quiet, with only the faint traces of tigers visible.

When we arrived at the foot of the back mountain, we saw two huge tigers lying there. They were about ten feet long and looked handsome and majestic.

The two men sat on the tiger's body and leaped up along the steep mountain path. Soon they arrived at the hall where the tiger's head was.

The tiger bowed respectfully and landed in front of the Tiger Head Hall, and Bai Yun and Su Yan came down.

Su Yan bowed and said politely: "I am Su Yan, a disciple of Guizang Valley, and I pay my respects to Uncle Xiang Ge and Great-Uncle Xiang Ge."

"Come in"

A voice came, full of energy, but it was not Xiang Ge's voice.

The two entered the hall. On the cushion in the main hall, sat a man with broad shoulders and body, and his eyes were bright and lively.

Next to him was Xiang Ge, who was standing and looking Su Yan up and down.

The voice transmission just now was because Xiang Ge felt that the two of them had not come over for too long, so he sensed them and went over. Unexpectedly, he ran into Su Yan talking.

"Gu Sanqian is really lucky to have a disciple like you."

Hu Yangming saw Su Yan's neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, and with a glance of his tiger eyes, he was able to find out some of his background.

"Master asked this disciple to say hello to you."

"Well, I have a heart."

The Holy Tiger Blood Fruit that Gu Sanqian asked Su Yan to give him was a top-grade third-level treasure that was not an ordinary thing in itself, not to mention that this Holy Tiger Blood Fruit came from a fourth-level tiger beast.

For Xiang Ge, who had just broken through, it was far more precious than ordinary third-grade top-grade natural treasures, or even third-grade top-grade elixirs.

Compared to other gifts, this one can be ranked first.

However, Xiang Ge's body trembled slightly, and he felt panic in his heart: Who is the old man choosing?

Isn’t it just missing Su Yan?

Isn't it just the dual cultivation of Dharma and body, the unparalleled horizontal training, and the abnormally rich true essence...

Hu Yangming's eyes fell on Su Yan and asked, "I see that your body is full of essence and blood, and your qi and blood are as yang as the sun. How far have you progressed in your horizontal training?"

There is no separate realm for horizontal training, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be practiced.

"Second-level weapons are hard to penetrate. If your true essence remains unchanged, you can defeat anyone of the same level."

Su Yan was not polite at all, instead he kept it to himself and spoke out.

After hearing this, Hu Yangming's eyes flashed with a gleam. When he raised his eyes, his pupils changed, like those of a ferocious tiger.

"Let's try it."

Three auras transformed into swords and flew towards Su Yan's shoulders.

The罡气 is obviously simple and concise, but it seems like a ferocious tiger is hiding in it.

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that this was a test from Hu Yangming.

He raised his hand and grabbed it, facing the strong energy.

sonorous
It was clearly the collision between flesh and blood and the sword, but it made a crisp collision sound.

The Gangdao shattered in Su Yan's hand. He did not activate the Heavenly Python Dharma Body or the Poison Dragon Golden Body, but only relied on his physical strength to block the sharp edge.

'Good boy'

Xiang Ge's pupils dilated slightly. Even though the Gangdao was not as powerful as some second-level weapons enhanced with true energy, Su Yan did not use any other means of his own.

The physical body alone has the ability to resist second-level weapons.

If a fight breaks out
Xiang Ge couldn't help but recall the scene that day in Yuncang Town when Su Yan swept through the town alone.

'That's just what I'm like.'

Hu Yangming stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "Not bad, you do have some foundation and have reached the threshold."

Su Yan's expression slightly improved, and he immediately caught the key words.

Hu Yangming did not hide it and said: "Because of the friendship between the two sects, and also to give face to Gu Sanqian, it is not impossible to give this fourth-level technique, but..."

His eyes fixed, and he said slowly, "I am the head monk of Baihu Peak. This unparalleled skill of 'Subduing the Tiger King Body' is also from Baihu Peak. I cannot give it to you easily. You understand."

Personal relationships are personal relationships, but he, Hu Yangming, is still the head of Baihu Peak, so he has to convince others when he presents something.

Of course, whether it is Guizang Valley or Baihu Peak, they are all under the Beast King Sect, and there is no distinction between the two factions that will never have any contact with each other.

"Please give me some advice, uncle-master."

"Three conditions."

Hu Yangming's voice came: "First, we have a legitimate reason. Xiang Ge and I asked for a recommendation, but it's not enough. That bastard missed the opportunity to recruit you into Hundred Tigers Peak, so he deserves a beating. I won't clean up his mess. So, you have to earn this position yourself."

"How can we win?"

"First on the Tiger List or achieved great merit."

He smiled and said, "The sooner I win first place, the more legitimate it will be. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to go to the Hundred Peaks Barrier and fight those demonic warriors for a while."

The value of being at the top of the list for one year and being at the top of the list for ten years are different.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly and smiled: "Yes"

"Second, 30,000 contribution points or something equivalent. The Subduing Tiger King Body is a fourth-order, mid-grade technique. To redeem it from a sect, you need 100,000 contribution points, and it can't be lower, and you also need to have sufficient merit. You should know that."

"Disciple knows."

The higher the grade of the technique, the more contribution points are required.

The third-grade intermediate-grade Starry Beast Skill required 1,500 contribution points after the discount for new disciples, and 15,000 points at the original price.

This is still a third-level mid-grade martial arts technique, and it has a huge pitfall. Not many people exchange it, which makes the price of this martial arts technique slightly lower.

If it is other third-level skills that are easy to practice and can go a long way, the price ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 or 40,000.

If you reach the fourth level of martial arts, the minimum cost is 100,000, and it also depends on your qualifications.

Hu Yangming was using the price of a third-level technique to exchange for a fourth-level technique from Su Yan.

"No matter what, you have to bring something back from Baihu Peak after you leave. Otherwise, who knows what all those disciples will think of you."

"As it should be."

Su Yan nodded: "How about exchanging it with elixirs? I have refined quite a few first- and second-level elixirs."

"Hmm? You can also make pills?"

Hu Yangming showed a look of surprise, Xiang Ge's face turned pale and he looked at Bai Yun.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Yun nod, and then he heard Su Yan's voice: "It's a side job besides practicing martial arts. The progress is not as good as martial arts. It's only the upper grade of the second level, and it's still a little short of the third level."

Xiang Ge: Stop talking, stop talking. Hu Yangming cast a cold glance at Xiang Ge, feeling a little annoyed: Bastard, if you let me recruit people again, I will take your last name.

"Can"

Hu Yangming suddenly lost his mood: "Third strength, your physical body has actually crossed the threshold. Whether you can realize the Dao method depends entirely on yourself. If you want to cultivate the body of the Ming King, you must forge the will of the Ming King. After a trip to the Husha Temple, how much you can realize depends on yourself."

Xiang Ge's eyes widened: "Old man, what if something happens when he breaks into the Tiger Demon Temple?"

"I can't die. If I want to inherit General Shahu's legacy, how can I not visit his dojo?"

Hu Yangming's eyes fell on Su Yan and he asked with a smile, "How about these three points?"

There is naturally a version of the Fu Hu Ming Wang's body technique, but there is also a path to enter the temple for enlightenment. The two are definitely different, and the degree of danger is definitely different.

"can."

Su Yan nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Hu Yangming laughed heartily: "You have a bit of courage. I will also give you a greeting gift."

He pointed his finger, and a light flashed from his hand and sank into Su Yan's brow.

Su Yan instantly realized what was hidden in this thought, a third-level mid-grade martial art.

Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal!
"True essence can transform into a hundred tigers. Each additional tiger will add a thousand pounds of strength. Your foundation should be suitable."

He used force to suppress others without seeking their true intentions. The method Hu Yangming used to test him just now was similar to the Hundred Tigers Breaking the Army Seal.

This Broken Army Seal seems to be used to suppress others with force, but controlling the true energy to transform into hundreds of tigers requires a lot of skills, which clearly depends on martial arts techniques and control ability.

Coincidence
Su Yan practiced the Star-Picking Hand, which was a skill of the hands, and as an alchemist, the thing he had the most was control.

"As expected of a first-class Dharma Master, you have profound insights."

Su Yan bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle-master."

"Go ahead, and remember to give the Lingxi Tiger to this girl. The Shayu Tiger is good at attacking, while the Lingxi Tiger is good at defending. They complement each other perfectly, combining strength and flexibility, which will be of great benefit to her."

Hu Yangming waved his hand and asked Bai Yun and Su Yan to leave the Tiger Head Hall.

Xiang Ge also wanted to leave, and had quietly walked two or three feet away.

"Xiang Ge, come here. I'll teach you how to control your strength..."

In the Tiger Head Hall, muffled sounds were heard, and there was no fluctuation of true energy, but the momentum was strong.

Su Yan and Bai Yun went down the mountain. He took out a second-stage mid-stage Lingxi tiger that he had left in advance, handed it to Bai Yun, and then went down the mountain.

Bai Yun is his senior sister, and Bai Changlin has been kind to him, so he should be closer to her. Not to mention that if the Holy Insect Dao continues to develop like this, he has a premonition that he will soon have to recruit more helpers.

Although Yang Kun and others are loyal, their foundation and talent are still inferior to those of the sect disciples.
-
The story of Xiang Ge's breakthrough in Danqiao came to an end. Su Yan returned to Xuanshuang Mountain and told Gu Sanqian everything Hu Yangming had said in the hall.

The old man didn't care at all and just said, "The Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal is somewhat suitable for you. Its domineering and fierceness are even better than the Blood Slaughter Hand and the Star-Picking Hand. It will enhance your martial arts skills. You can practice it."

It is a kind of horizontal training, and when combined with domineering techniques, it naturally complements each other.

During the rest of the time, Gu Sanqian did not watch Su Yan practice martial arts every day, but he watched his contracted beast every day.

Su Yan practiced the Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra every day, and fought continuously with the Star-Picking Hand and the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal.

Time flew by so quickly that it was already more than seven days.

[Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra 143/400 (Great Accomplishment)]

【Star Picking Hand 184/400 (Great Success)】

[Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal 1/200 (Minor Success)]

A third-level mid-grade martial art, achieved minor success in seven days, although it was based on the experience accumulated from the Star-Picking Hand and Blood-Slaughtering Hand martial arts.

But the speed alone is enough to surprise many people.

Gu Sanqian was used to being surprised, and he muttered to himself: This kid almost never makes the same mistake when learning something, that's why he can learn so quickly, it seems like he's not far from reaching the state of enlightenment.

He frowned slightly and looked outside Xuanshuang Mountain. A giant black-horned eagle was approaching and stopped in the air outside the mountain.

"Is Senior Brother Su Yan here?"

"Come into the mountains and talk."

Su Yan stopped fighting, his strong muscles clearly revealed, and looked at the disciples who were landing.

The disciple was an outer sect disciple. Seeing Su Yan, he was extremely respectful. He caught a glimpse of the huge body of the Earth Fire Sun Snake from the corner of his eye and was slightly frightened.

"What's the matter?"

"The rules for the Tiger Ranking competition have been released. Please review them, Senior Brother."

The disciple brought up a post containing the content of the Tiger List Competition.

"The bottom 100 will compete for seven days, and all disciples outside the Tiger Ranking can challenge them... The middle 100 will compete for seven days, and the bottom 100 can challenge them... The top 100 will compete for three days, and the competition will end with the top 60. The top 60 will enter the elimination round."

The corner of Su Yan's eyes twitched slightly. What kind of competition system is this? Is there no rules at all?

As if noticing Su Yan's gaze, the outer disciple explained awkwardly, "In previous years, we always competed to climb the leaderboard, and there were always lucky ones who were passed over. Especially the brothers at the front of the list, they all challenged the brothers and sisters in front of them, so it was inevitable that there would be some regrets."

Generally speaking, the gap between the top ten, top twenty, etc. is not that absolute.

It is impossible to challenge them one by one, as that will only consume your energy and physical strength.

Therefore, most people jump to challenge by ranking.

For example, the ninth place may directly challenge the fifth place or even the top three.

In this way, the disciples in the middle are recuperating while the disciples in the front suffer, and there are often some omissions.

Of course, in the past challenge competitions, there were always people who could regain their ground, but in the sect competitions, there still had to be some rules.

Therefore, the Zongwu Pavilion came up with this idea. Most people are competing to climb the list, but after the top 60, they will be disbanded and go directly to the elimination round.

It's relatively fair, and everyone has to play at least one round, so everyone can see if there is any progress.

The disciples who are watching can also gain something, and this is what makes everyone happy.

Of course, some disciples will have to suffer.

For example, sixty goalkeepers.

I don’t know how many disciples want to qualify for this highly anticipated knockout tournament, become famous in the Beast King Sect, obtain more resources, and go further in the martial arts.

The disciples ranked at the bottom, such as 60th, 59th, etc., will definitely become the targets of challenge in the last three days of climbing the list.

Unfortunately, Su Yan's current position is fifty-seventh, which is not particularly friendly.

"Brother, I still need to go to each peak to report the news, you see..."

"Go."

Su Yan flipped his hand, and a small bottle of blood-strengthening pills fell into the hands of this outer disciple.

The outer disciples were surprised when they saw the elixir and quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The outer disciples flew away from Xuanshuang Mountain on black-horned giant eagles. Su Yan showed the competition rules to Gu Sanqian from the palace gate.

Gu Sanqian glanced at it and raised his eyes slightly: "It has changed again. It can be a bit troublesome, but it can also screen out some good seedlings. This kind of competition, if you calculate the time, it seems that the secret realm in the water of Lingnan Prefecture will be opened during this period of time."

When Su Yan heard this, he immediately became curious: "Secret realm in the water?"

Gu Sanqian just smiled and said, "Go find out for yourself. Why would I, an old man, talk so much? Why would I need a brain?"
