The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 223: Theory of the Destiny Spiritual Weapon
A crimson scale, as big as a palm, exudes a powerful aura.

The fourth-level disaster beast, the red-scaled crocodile dragon's reverse scale.

This thing is not cheap. If used to refine spiritual weapons, it is enough to be the core of some natal spiritual weapons.

Although several people made a bet, they did not agree that the stakes had to be so precious.

Lin Bumo said, "I'm willing to accept the loss, plus a meeting gift, this thing is just right."

Although Lin Bumo felt bad about giving both things together, it was not a problem to give them to a disciple like Su Yan.

He kept thinking: If the centipede turns into a dragon, it should be dragged to Canglong Peak.

Gu Sanqian smiled and said, "I thank you on behalf of this kid."

"Brother Gu, this is my gift to the little guy."

Bi Qingman raised her hand, and a streak of light flew in front of Gu Sanqian. It turned out to be the remains of a golden ferocious insect.

"This gold-eating insect's remains are almost at the fourth level, which is compatible with his physique. It is a good material for insect-beast transformation or for refining weapons."

If the gold-eating insects reach full maturity, they will be at least at the level of a fifth-order king beast. If they appear in groups, even a sixth-order martial saint will have to be wary of them.

"Thank you, junior sister."

Gu Sanqian was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Bi Qingman's generosity to be even greater than Lin Bumo's. He thought to himself, "This kid is lucky. If he were to refine his own spiritual weapon, it would be enough."

After the fight ended, the crowd gradually dispersed, and several leaders flew back to their main peaks one after another.

The competition here revealed many disciples. Those who caught their eyes will probably have to train hard after returning to improve the foundation of the main peak.

Su Yan finally managed to get out of the crowd and returned to Guizang Valley.

On Xuanshuang Mountain, Gu Sanqian flew over.

"Good boy, your hidden tricks even surprised me. Five True Intentions overwhelmed the Half-Step Danqiao. Is your foundation built with Nine Profound Gold?"

Gu Sanqian had a smile on his face. He won the first place with such an overwhelming victory and stole the show. It would be strange if he was not happy.

However, the statement that the Nine Profound Gold Ramming Foundation was laid was obviously a joke.

But one thing really surprised him: Su Yan's foundation was too strong and solid.

Even if it's him
No, even Senior Brother Dulong and Sect Leader Chu Qidao didn't have such a foundation back then.

“It just slightly solidified the hundred million points.”

Su Yan was quite pleased with himself. In fact, he had to be solid. Controlling the ferocious insects and cooperating with them to perform their tricks required the consumption of true energy, even with the assistance of the Ferocious Insect Cauldron.

Moreover, as a lord of insects who controls ferocious insects, if his body is not strong, it will become a breakthrough point, and he will be beheaded. What a pity that would be.
Therefore, Su Yan has been making every effort to strengthen his body and enhance his combat skills.

Gu Sanqian asked curiously, "Your true essence has increased by at least 50% compared to when I was training you with the Five Poisons Body Forging Sutra. Have you achieved another breakthrough?"

"How did Grandmaster know that I had refined the Acupoint Pill?"

Su Yan grinned, and Gu Sanqian was immediately surprised. Good boy, wait for me here.

"Third-level alchemist, you..."

For a moment, even Gu Sanqian didn't know how to describe the disciple in front of him.

"Even if Senior Brother Tai, Junior Brother Wang, and I were combined, we wouldn't have as many tricks as this brat, right?"

Physical training, alchemy, insect control, weapon refining...

Su Yan is almost turning himself into an all-round warrior, and he is not the kind of person who learns but does not master it.

"Take these things."

So Gu Sanqian took out the Nine Profound Gold, the Red Phosphorus Alligator Dragon's Reverse Scales, the Gold-Eating Insect's Shedding, and the forging method of the Dragon Pool.

"The Red Phosphorus Crocodile Dragon's reverse scale was a gift from Lin Bumo, and the Gold Devouring Bug's remains were given by Bi Qingman. If anything happens in the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, please take care of these two peaks. I'm grateful for their kindness."

Su Yan immediately showed a look of joy, these were all fourth-level materials, which were not easy to get at ordinary times. He did not expect that they would be a gift for meeting.

"Master is mighty."

Gu Sanqian smiled: "You kid..."

He paused slightly, "If you wish to refine your own spiritual weapon, it's best to thoroughly understand the Dragon Building Pond first. The Dragon Building Pond is a treasure of the Jiufeng Sect, combining the power of suppression and refining. After my senior brother's sacrifice and refinement, this fourth-level Dragon Building Pond has even greater power. If you can comprehend the key points, it will be enough to lay a solid foundation for your own spiritual weapon."

Gu Sanqian gave Su Yan some advice, but he didn't expect his master to take it so seriously.

"The natal spirit weapon continues to grow and adapts to the warrior's body shape, so it grows again?"

Gu Sanqian shook his head slightly: "Yes and no. The continuous growth of one's natal spiritual weapon is naturally one of the important means for cultivators, and it is also something that is connected to life. But more importantly, it is related to the cultivation of life."

As soon as he thought about it, a green spirit bead flew out from between his eyebrows, emitting circles of light green light and powerful fluctuations. Su Yan was right beside him, and he suddenly felt that he was under control.

Gu Sanqian controlled it slightly, and the green spirit bead took back its divine power.

"This is my natal spiritual weapon - the Five Poison Pearls."

Gu Sanqian said, "A cultivator's cultivation is nothing more than the fundamental purpose of life. Breaking through to seek immortality and gaining power is the fundamental of everything. Do you understand this?"

The lifespan of the true meaning is 200 years, the lifespan of the elixir is 500 years, and the lifespan of the Dharma is 1,000 years...

All practitioners may have different desires, but breakthrough is the root of everything.

Su Yan nodded, he naturally understood.

Although there are some warriors who reduce their lifespan in pursuit of power, if they had a choice, they wouldn't have so much kryptonian life.

Moreover, apart from lifespan, those with strong life will naturally be strong, which is also the source of power.

Gu Sanqian continued, "Alchemy, weapon refining, spirit sealing, formations, all these means are just for the purpose of cultivating life. Strengthening the foundation and protecting life are the goals."

"Besides its growth potential, the most important thing about a natal spiritual weapon is that it can assist your cultivation. It must be compatible with your own martial arts and have matching attributes. It can not only strengthen your foundation but also serve as a means of self-defense. That is its true meaning."

Su Yan pondered for a moment, "So suppressing and refining like the Dragon Pool itself has a stabilizing effect. If it's developed properly and suits my natural martial body, it will make my progress faster."

"Ruzi can be taught."

Gu Sanqian smiled and nodded, "My Five Poison Pearl also works in the same way. It suppresses poisons all over the body and condenses all poisons as a means of refining the body, controlling beasts, and killing enemies all within this one-inch-tall pearl. You should also refine a core spiritual weapon like this, rather than just following the trend to refine some spiritual weapon because it's famous."

In the world of cultivation, there are quite a few who refine flying swords into their own spiritual weapons, and many of them seek their sharpness.

I really don't know how far a warrior can go if he doesn't have the life of a sword saint and insists on learning the way of a swordsman.
After Gu Sanqian gave Su Yan some instructions, he did not stay in Xuanshuang Mountain for long.

After watching his master leave, Su Yan put away the three fourth-level items and thought to himself, "I thought my preparations were sufficient, but according to what my master said, my natal spiritual weapon could be more solid."

"First, practice the Three Transformations of Molten Fire and the Mind Casting Method to the highest level, then thoroughly master the Dragon Pond refining method... Although there are some rumors about the Dragon Secret Realm, it should still take some time."

Su Yan made a decision, but there were not enough conditions on Xuanshuang Mountain to hone these two weapon refining techniques.

……

"Help the Refining Pavilion refine weapons?!"

Long Hongwen looked at Su Yan in front of him, sizing him up and down.

"The number one on the Tiger Ranking comes to my place to refine weapons, you're quite humble."

A weapon refiner isn't a blacksmith, so naturally, he wouldn't be looked down upon for no reason. However, Su Yan wasn't looking to refine weapons, and he wasn't helping people customize high-end weapons. He was after the standard armor and armor of the Mountain Guards. With his status, it was somewhat inappropriate for him to do this.

"Yeah," Su Yan nodded. "I exchanged for the weapon refining skills at the weapon refining pavilion before. Now that I have entered the door, I want to hone my skills a little more."

"I've seen many disciples refining their own spiritual weapons, but none as hard-working as you."

Long Hongwen racked his brains and looked a bit distressed. He said it was hard work, but isn't this thing just a scroll?
"You're in the top five."

He finally nodded. "Take the token. I'll go with you to check out the No. 3 Bingzi Refining Furnace. If you can refine a first-grade, mid-grade weapon with less than 30% loss of materials, I'll agree to hone your refining skills."

The Weapon Refining Pavilion has its own weapon refiners, most of whom are outer disciples and inner disciples, and they are responsible for refining weapons for the sect.

There are also requirements in daily life and it cannot be wasted easily.

If he were an ordinary disciple, Long Hongwen would have to undergo one or two tests and obtain the rank of weapon refiner before being assigned a position.

This time, Su Yan gave the green light. Although it still needed to be refined, the loss rate of 30% was relaxed by 30% based on the loss standard of a first-level weapon refiner.

"It's a good opportunity to ask Elder Long for some pointers."

The two entered the room where the refining furnace was. Long Hongwen pointed at the materials and said, "The black steel is right here. There is about enough for ten black steel knives."

Su Yan nodded, controlled the furnace fire to produce a blazing flame, and then forged the black steel. A large iron hammer began to continuously temper the black steel.

Long Hongwen took a glance and found that he had indeed mastered the forging method, but it was not very profound. To refine tools in a furnace, one must transform one's true essence into a forging hammer and furnace fire, and use them as easily as one's own arms.

Using a hammer is just overkill.

The sound of clinking continued to be heard, and after an hour, a black steel knife was tempered out from the furnace.

Long Hongwen took the black steel knife and glanced at it: "First-level low-grade, it seems that he has learned the third transformation of Molten Fire, but he is not proficient enough. He just needs more practice."

After that, he turned around and left.

Su Yan also smiled: "If you are not proficient enough, then just practice more."

I have just reached the basic level of proficiency in the three transformations of Molten Fire. How can I forge a fine product?

Isn't the purpose of coming here to improve the weapon refining skills?

He waved his hand and summoned the Flame Armored Scorpion, which stood beside him to help control the flames.

Then he swung the forging hammer, and the sound of clanging tempered and forged black steel.

This fight lasted for seven or eight days.

Starting from continuously forging with a hammer in hand, on the fourth day, Su Yan began to use the furnace to refine the weapon, turning his true essence into the arm in his furnace, continuously melting the black steel and shaping it into shape.

Over the course of several days, Su Yan's No. 3 Refining Room C continued to increase the flow of materials in and out.

The amount of materials required to make ten black steel knives a day gradually increased from twenty, thirty to forty.

"Grandma's monster."

Long Hongwen was holding a newly-forged black steel knife in his hand. This was Su Yan's work.

He was puzzled, and when he ran his palm across the blade, he felt a faint sharp touch.

"A second-level weapon! Such great progress in just seven days."

"Elder, Senior Brother Su said he wanted to try to refine a batch of guard armor."

Guard Armor is the standard armor of the Mountain Guards, mainly of the first-grade top quality, but one piece of armor is worth ten soldiers, and forging a set of armor is much more difficult than forging weapons.

"Give it to him, start with three."

Long Hongwen didn't believe it and directly ordered someone to send the materials over. Su Yan has now proved that he has the strength of a second-level weapon refiner, and forging armor is not a secret.

Long Hongwen became more and more curious about what Su Yan could do, so more and more materials were sent to Su Yan.

Of course Su Yan would not refuse. When he got the materials, he started refining them directly.

The flames continued to refine, and in the refining furnace, the black steel, red gold, and fine iron were constantly being melted, and then changed shape little by little under his control.

The flames kept changing, and under the control of the true essence, they integrated the power into the ore.

The guard armor took shape bit by bit, and soon he finished it.

As time passed, the quality of the artifacts forged by Su Yan became higher and higher.

The abundant true essence became the foundation for him to continuously refine weapons. An ordinary disciple, controlling such a furnace and constantly forging, could only make seven or eight black steel knives a day.

But on Su Yan's side, he can do more, which means he gets more training.

It has been more than a month since the weapon refining pavilion was built, and the sound of clinking can be heard in the weapon refining room.

Su Yan sat cross-legged, and the refining furnace, under the overlapping flames, continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy and injected it into the weapon.

Behind Su Yan, the true meaning of the Poison Star Ape had actually emerged. His hands were like hammers, as if he was constantly forging a long sword made of black steel, red gold and black steel through a refining furnace.

"The Three Transformations of Molten Fire forge the weapon itself. The Intention Forging Method is to fuse the true intention into the weapon. The two become one, making the weapon indestructible and able to use the power of the true intention, which has special power."

Su Yan's progress in forging weapons non-stop was extremely terrifying. At this moment, his eyes were clear, and the true meanings behind him shrank his body and appeared in the refining room.

Star-Moon Centipede, Poisonous Star Ape, Green-Scaled Poisonous Dragon, Flame-Armored Demon Scorpion, Soldier-Swallowing Phantom Moth, Sky-Evil Mother Locust, Shadow-Horned Spider, and Rock Demon Ant Queen...

The true meaning emerged, and he used his strength like a hammer to forge the blade.

The power of the Devouring Moth emerged and transformed into the third-level spiritual weapon Black Crystal Knife that it had once swallowed.

A wisp of the Weapon-Swallowing Moth's true essence transformed into a black crystal knife mark engraved on the blade.

Instantly the blade vibrated and turned into a pitch-black long sword.

The artistic conception of the Three-Point Black Crystal Knife, but more of it is the power of Su Yan's true intention gathered in it, and the sound of beast roars can be heard faintly.

It became.

[Melting Fire Three Transformations: Transformation]

[Intentional Casting Method: Transformation]

Thousands of weapons have been refined, from low-grade first-level weapons to the current continuous production of second-grade weapons.

Su Yan had already honed his skills to an extremely high level.

He raised his hand and grabbed it, and the hot steel knife fell into his hand.

"I can give Elder Long a gift."

Su Yan strode out of the refining room and came to the refining pavilion, where Long Hongwen was meditating and slacking off.

When she saw Su Yan coming over, she sat up straighter and looked up at him: "Why did you come out early today?"

"I'm leaving."

Long Hongwen was shocked: "The training is in place. If you want to refine a good embryo of your own spiritual weapon, you need at least the skills of a second-level upper-grade weapon refiner."

What this means is that although you have made rapid progress, it is impossible for you to become a top-grade, second-level weapon refiner in just over a month.
