The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 215 The Competition Begins

Su Yan did not delve into the matter of this secret underwater realm. Since Gu Sanqian said so, it should not be difficult to find out about it.

In the remaining three or four days, he devoted all his energy to improving his Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra.

This time, he did not let the contracted beasts such as the Yinhun Silver Toad, the Six-Winged True Silkworm, the Bone Jade Sky Spider, the Steel Poison Scorpion, and the Earth Fire Yang Snake take turns to fight, but instead summoned his own ferocious insects and tempered his body with their original toxins.

This is Gu Sanqian's technique. It is true that higher-grade poisons will naturally have better tempering speed and effect.

However, in this small gap between reaching the state of transformation, if the poison of the same origin is used for tempering, it will be of great benefit to Su Yan in shaping his foundation and controlling the contracted beast.

This is equivalent to refining the essence of the ferocious insect into a part of one's own foundation.

Under the deadly poison of the six-winged blood centipede and the flame-armored demon scorpion, Su Yan's Five Poisons Body Forging Skills improved rapidly.

[True Artistic Realm Divine Integration Stage: 1/100 (Beginner)]

[Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra: Transformation]

The strong muscles outlined perfect lines, and the golden flowing lines from the inside out kept moving on Su Yan's body and finally gathered in the bones.

The true energy in Su Yan's body continued to circulate and gathered in his dantian. The true energy continued to liquefy, like a vast ocean in his inner world.

His momentum continued to rise, and eight true meanings suddenly appeared behind him, including the Star-Moon Centipede, Poisonous Star Ape, Green-Scaled Poisonous Dragon, and Flame-Armored Demon Scorpion.

They are all beasts with extraordinary power. The original true meaning of the gold-eating monster insect has transformed into the soldier-devouring moth, and the true meaning of the rock demon ant queen is also constantly condensing and showing its prototype.

"The spirit and intention are united, the body and intention are connected. The power of the spirit-union stage is to use the physical body to push the true intention to the extreme of the true intention realm. So, I have the advantage."

Su Yan smiled. This was not the first time he had fought against a warrior in the Divine Integration Stage.

Naturally, he is also very familiar with the methods of the Shenhe period.

Often the true meanings are united, as if a god has descended, and a power far beyond the normal level is unleashed.

Now that he has broken through the divine union, he is more aware of the power of the divine union.

He stood up, stretched his muscles, and glanced at the top of Xuanshuang Mountain. The sunlight fell on the tall trees, casting many spots of light.

It's a nice day.

He called the five ferocious insects around him to his side and fed each of them a few beast essence pills. He also fed the soldier-devouring moth an extra piece of second-level black steel.

Looking at the ferocious insect in front of him devouring the food, he frowned slightly.

The Beast Yuan Pill is only a lower-grade second-level one. Now most of his ferocious insects are comparable to the perfect second-level, so the effect of such a pill is not enough.

"Alchemy..."

Thinking of alchemy, Su Yan took stock of his situation.

The Holy Insect Path and the Red Moon Alchemy Shop gradually expanded, and Wang Cang also led a hunting team in the Ten Thousand Mountains. At the same time, the small secret realm was managed, and the amount of Yuanshi earned would gradually increase. At least the funds for alchemy would be sufficient for the time being.

However, what he needs now is a second-grade, top-grade, or even a third-grade elixir.

"The Nine Dragon Pill Seal has been slightly accomplished. Together with the Five Elements Alchemy Technique and the Gu Pill Technique, I can try to cultivate the Acupoint Pill."

The third-level pill formula in Su Yan's hand is the one he exchanged for, which can cultivate the acupoints and absorb the essence, and increase the foundation of true essence. This is very important to him.

The first is to refine the third-level seed pill.

The second is to take the first place on the Tiger List
Only by taking the first place on the Tiger List can one obtain the Nine Profound Gold and the forging method of the Dragon Pool from the master and create his own natal spiritual weapon.

Only by taking the first place on the Tiger List can one go to the Tiger Demon Temple to comprehend the skills of the Tiger Subduing King.

You must know that your grandmaster, the Five Poisons Taoist, is himself a Dharma Realm who has practiced the Five Poisons Golden Body Mysterious Art.

He cultivates his true essence and physical body together. Although it is not pure physical cultivation, his physical strength is also ranked among the best in Lingnan Prefecture.

He praises the Subduing Tiger Vajra King Body so highly, so it can be imagined that this technique is definitely not simple.

There is no reason for Su Yan to let it go, so this thing is imperative.

A skylark flew through the clouds of Xuanshuang Mountain and landed in front of Su Yan.

"Ok?"

Su Yan showed a look of surprise, grabbed Chuan Yunque, and saw the note on Chuan Yunque's body.

"The Tiger Ranking Competition has begun. I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

The message was from Gu Songde. Su Yan smiled and moved. The six-winged blood centipede immediately appeared under his feet and carried him into the sky.

Gu Songde came here specifically to wait for Su Yan. His mount was a second-stage early stage Demonic Feathered Crow. It was slightly smaller than the Black-horned Giant Eagle, but it was more than enough to carry Gu Songde.

The moment Gu Songde saw Su Yan, his pupils suddenly shrank. It had only been two or three months since they last saw each other, and Su Yan had become stronger again.

The vague threat lingered around him, which meant that he was probably no match for this junior fellow apprentice.

"Junior brother, let's speed up. They should have started over there."

"it is good"

The two men controlled the wild beasts under them, each increasing their speed, and soon they arrived at the Nine-Monument Spirit Platform.

At this time, the Nine Stele Spiritual Platform was already crowded with people, including outer and inner disciples.

They were crowded together, looking forward to the nine arenas rising from the Nine Monuments Spiritual Platform.

On the left and right of the spiritual platform, there are two hundred-foot-high platforms. On the left side, under the Nine Stele, there are several seats where the real people from various peaks and Yin Mingchen, the elder on duty at the Nine Stele Spiritual Platform, sit.

The platform on the right is slightly lower, with 300 seats arranged in order. The last 100 disciples on the Tiger List are all here at this time.

He flew here, landed on the stage, and found a seat to sit down.

"Fight in the morning, rest in the afternoon. The first three days of the seven-day fight are the most lively."

Gu Songde pointed his finger at the stage below, and at this time a disciple on the stage had already issued a challenge.

The inner disciples challenged the disciples on the Tiger List.

Su Yan took a quick glance and saw that the two men were only warriors in the Ruyi period, but they did have some skills when fighting.

"The boy from Baihu Peak is really better at fighting."

Gu Songde watched and commented as he was enjoying the fun. The shouts of the disciples around him rose and fell, making people feel nervous.

The two watched for a while. Many people changed in the arena. Many of the disciples ranked after 290 on the Tiger List were defeated and challenged by the inner disciples.

Waves of sound came, making people's hearts surge.

"The pressure is huge when you rank low."

Gu Songde watched the competition and smiled. "When the top 100 fight, you and I will both be the target. Junior brother should be confident that you can hold on, right?"

Gu Songde ranked fifty-third and Su Yan ranked fifty-seventh. Both were close to sixty, just at the threshold of entering the knockout stage.

"A little bit of 100 million"

After the conversation started, Su Yan became curious: "Brother, don't you want to challenge yourself a little higher?" Gu Songde has been a disciple for nine years, and in another year he will not be able to rank on the top list.

How high he can climb this year will be his highest record.

"Yes, why don't you want to?"

Gu Songde didn't hide it at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Junior brother, you'd better get into the top 30."

Su Yan raised his eyes and said, "Secret realm?"

Gu Songde showed a look of surprise, but then he was relieved: "Yes, it seems that Junior Brother knows."

"I've heard my master mention it, but I don't know the details. Please enlighten me, brother."

Gu Songde showed an envious look. Wasn’t Su Yan’s master the head of Guizang Valley, Gu Sanqian?

How can one not envy someone with such a Dharmadhatu as his backer?

Gu Songde's master is also the veteran Danqiao Lingchan Zhenren Yue Xiu of Guizang Valley, whose cultivation has already reached the third level.

However, it is still far inferior to Su Yan's backer.

He collected his thoughts and spoke slowly, "Three thousand years ago, a Blood Sea Divine Dragon had already reached the level of a fifth-rank king beast. He stole the meridians of the water and intended to sacrifice the millions of people in Lingnan City in order to break through to the level of a demon saint by seizing their meridians and luck."

"It lost?"

Gu Songde nodded. "Back then, the powerful demon-suppressing guard Qin Jingtian, who was stationed in Lingnan City, fought with the Jingtian Tower for three days and three nights until the thunder from the sky descended, subduing the wild beast. The wild beast's blood spilled into the Lingtian River, and along with the thunder from the sky and the water veins, it tore apart the underwater space."

"Although it failed to break through, it has some of the methods of a demon saint reaching a realm. The evil spirit lingers, and the dragon blood is raging. Instead, a secret realm of extreme danger has formed under the water."

"Master Qin Jingtian used the Jingtian Pagoda to suppress the evil dragon spirits within, preventing them from escaping and causing harm. Over a hundred years later, the old injuries recurred. Senior Qin Jingtian used the Jingtian Pagoda as a foundation to completely suppress this secret realm, transforming it into a trial ground for the demon guards of Nantian Prefecture to train."

Gu Songde said it simply, but this is the place where a king beast died, and the huge opportunity contained therein cannot be easily explained.

Su Yan frowned slightly: "The opportunity in Nantianfu City, or the secret realm of the Demon Suppression Guard, is it our turn to intervene?"

The Beast King Sect is indeed powerful in Lingnan Prefecture, but how could the Demon Suppression Guards be vegetarians?
Backed by the Dali Dynasty, it has a demon-suppressing general in charge of many demon-suppressing guards in Lingnan Prefecture, and is definitely no worse than the Beast King Sect.

With such strength, he would never let others get involved in such a secret place easily.

Gu Songde nodded and said, "Of course, we won't let anyone interfere easily. However, General Qin Jingtian once said that the Blood Dragon Secret Realm will open every three years, and all the disciples of Lingnan can go there."

Su Yan curled his lips: "Do you believe it?"

Gu Songde shook his head: "I don't believe it. The Blood Dragon Secret Realm has the fifth-level Taoist Jingtian Tower that absorbs and exhales spiritual energy for nourishment. The entire Lingtian River vein and the blood of wild beasts are used for purification all year round. It consumes a lot of resources. How can it be free?"

He paused and said, "Even if General Qin Jingtian was born in Lingnan Prefecture, it is impossible for him to open it to all Lingnan children for free."

There are so many disciples in Lingnan, do they have to come together from all the sects?
Obviously it is impossible.

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly: "Are there any deals?"

"Well, the Blood Dragon Secret Realm requires the blood of wild beasts. Each sect with a quota must be responsible for it. Each quota is 10,000 units of blood crystals."

One unit of essence and blood crystal is equivalent to the condensed essence and blood of a first-stage wild beast.

It is true that not all of them are first-level wild beasts. High-level or special wild beasts can provide overflowing essence and blood, so it is not really the lives of ten thousand wild beasts.

But even so, it is not a small number.

Su Yan immediately reacted: "We have 30 spots?"

Gu Songde smiled and said, "Yes."

"What's inside that only Tiger Ranking disciples can pass through, suppressing the strength of the secret realm?"

Gu Songde's eyes were slightly surprised. This junior brother was really smart. He could deduce a lot of things with just a few words.

He simply said, "The Blood Dragon Secret Realm is both an opportunity and a competition. The things produced there are nothing more than four things: Blood Dragon Blood Essence, Blood Dragon Soul Essence, natural treasures, and General Qin Jingtian's inheritance."

Su Yan showed a look of shock: "Are they crazy? They are releasing the inheritance of a powerful Golden Body Realm expert?"

"Although General Qin is dead, he still has the final say on how much of his inheritance will be passed down. It's not easy for the Demon Suppression Guard to be the bad guy."

Gu Songde continued, "Moreover, over the years, there have been very few people who have been recognized and received part of the inheritance, and most of them are geniuses of the Demon Suppression Guard."

"The key is the Blood Dragon's soul essence and blood essence. With the help of the corpse of the Blood Sea Divine Dragon, this secret realm can continuously produce blood essence and soul essence by continuously injecting living beings. As long as it is properly controlled, it can continue to operate. The two can strengthen the bones and enhance the strength of the spirit. If we can obtain a trace of the Blood Sea Divine Dragon's spirit, the transformation of the true meaning will be a piece of cake, not to mention that we also have a contracted beast."

If the contracted beast obtains enough blood dragon essence, it may transform into a dragon.

In Gu Songde's opinion, since Su Yan has a centipede as his contracted beast, he will most likely have to go through the stage of transforming into a dragon. This Blood Dragon Secret Realm is a good opportunity.

"Apart from those two, the Blood Dragon Secret Realm will also produce natural treasures. Although there are fewer of them, they are all rare treasures."

"Besides our Beast King Sect, how many other disciples went there?"

"Not many," Gu Songde said, "Only two hundred people can enter. In the last competition, we won thirty places. The remaining forty are from the Demon Suppression Guards, twenty each from the Sword One Sect and the Nine Peaks Sect. The rest are divided up among various sects and the official forces of Lingnan Prefecture."

夺？
This word is used cleverly.

"Are they trying to grab a spot, or are they trying to grab the right to speak in Lingnan Prefecture?"

"All"

Gu Songde spoke frankly, saying, "Junior brother, you've guessed it. The more quotas there are, the greater the benefits some places will gain, especially those in controversial or overlapping industries. However, the Sect Master and the First Lord will have to take care of these."

The two of them talked casually about the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Songde raised his head slightly and said in surprise, "Junior Sister Bai Yun is on stage."

The two looked over and saw Bai Yun coming onto the stage with a spear in hand. His spear was like a dragon, his black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was wearing a tight white martial arts uniform with a white jade belt around his waist. His aura grew with every step he took, and the shadow of a tiger appeared behind him. He looked truly heroic.

On one side of the arena was Fu Haifeng's disciple on the Tiger List. He was tall and thin, with a long sword as thin as a poisonous snake's tongue, and he looked frighteningly desolate.

"Pan Zhenxiong of Fu Haifeng, 247th place."

Gu Songde recognized the man and told Su Yan his name. Su Yan knew what he meant and smiled and said, "He is no match for me."

Sure enough, the fight off the stage lasted only more than fifty rounds.

Pan Zhenxiong, who had clearly reached the peak of the Ruyi Stage, had already summoned his contracted beast.

But when Bai Yun and Sha Yuhu attacked together, the White Tiger's true meaning behind him roared like a tiger and attacked, and they were defeated in a short time.

Bai Yun wins!

In the next few days, there were competitions, and Bai Yun finally ranked 237th, which was 20 places higher than Qing Tianyi of Canglong Peak.

After seven days of competition for the lower rankings, only less than ten people made it to the middle rankings.

Those who made it to the top of the list competed for seven days, and it was even rarer to be able to break through the list and enter the top 100, only a handful of them could do so.

Half a month passed like this, and finally it was time for the competition to be on the list.
