The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 229: Conflict at Tingwu Tower

Su Yan bid 100,000 Yuanshi, which was 5,000 Yuanshi higher than the current highest bid of 95,000 Yuanshi. For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue was stagnant, as if several sharp gazes pierced through the partition of the wing room and fell on him.

"I don't know what's good or bad"

Han snorted coldly, his face turned ashen, and he slammed the teacup in his hand on the table. In the end, he did not continue bidding.

If it was only more than 90,000, as a spirit sealer who was also familiar with refining equipment, he might be able to repair one or two. But buying it at this price now would be a thankless task.

Xia Tianzong frowned slightly. He knew that his daughter was in the box, and he also knew that there must be her fellow disciples inside.

This thing may not be worth 100,000 yuan worth of stones.

Forget it, as long as it’s not Xia Wan’er who takes over, it’s fine.

The remaining boxes had different thoughts, and after thinking about it, they all gave up bidding.

Seeing that no one continued, Qiu Rong dropped the hammer to seal the deal and sent the tiger seal to Su Yan's box.

Su Yan paid all the Yuanshi, and in an instant, 70% to 80% of his savings were gone.

The Red Moon Pill Shop and the Holy Insect Path brought him a lot of profits, but those profits also needed to be reinvested to continue operating, especially the small secret realm in the Yanwu Mountains and the breeding of several Rock Demon Ant Nests, which required huge investments.

The number of Yuanshi that Su Yan usually had on him was only more than 100,000 Yuanshi, and all of them were exchanged for second-level Yuanshi, which was more than 10,000 pieces.

In addition, the Yuanshi will also be used by him for cultivation, so there are really not many left.

Su Yan held the tiger seal in his hand, and after a slight sensation, he felt the strong evil spirit in it, and immediately smiled.

He collected the tiger seal and said, "Let's go."

Xia Wan'er and Lan Yunyue didn't ask any more questions and stood up with him.

Yuanshan Pavilion has collected all the ingredients for the two sets of Zhongqiao Pills this time, and they can start refining them after passing the Blood Dragon Secret Realm.

With the current level of cultivation of the three of them, if they open two more acupoints and accumulate enough true essence, then breaking through the Danqiao realm will be a sure thing.

Maybe it will become even more stable after the breakthrough.

Although he won't be able to break through two realms in a row like Xiang Ge, he will definitely be able to better consolidate his foundation and improve steadily.

In the Tingwu Building, after Su Yan returned to his room, he took out the broken tiger seal.

He just glanced at it and muttered to himself, "It's so damaged, even the tiger head is missing, and the charm is gone. How can it be easily repaired? The price difference between the third-grade upper and third-grade lower is huge. No wonder they sold it directly. But it's a bargain for me."

He input the true energy in his hand into the tiger seal, which immediately stimulated the power of the tiger seal and emitted a strong spiritual fluctuation. At the same time, there was a faint sound of a tiger's roar, and the evil spirit condensed into a tiger, like an illusion, surrounding the tiger seal.

"The evil spirit is a tiger, condensed into a seal. This seal method is indeed quite exquisite."

What Su Yan valued was not the seal itself, but the extremely strong tiger evil within the seal.

The practice of Fu Hu Ming Wang's body requires subduing the tiger evil, absorbing various evil spirits to condense one's own body, especially the tiger evil.

Now that I have this seal, how can it not be a good thing?

He activated the body of the Subduing Tiger Vajra King, and suddenly his body became like glass, with golden light emerging, like a divine general.

The Tiger-Subduing Vajra King appeared about ten feet behind him, grabbed the tiger seal with both hands, and placed it in front of him.

All of a sudden, the tiger demons in the seal rushed out one after another, transformed into vicious tigers and pounced on Fu Hu Ming Wang.

The true meaning of Fu Hu Ming Wang was as majestic and immovable as a mountain. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the tiger evil, continuously refining it.

After being condensed, strands of tiger evil energy continued to flow into Su Yan's body. As the Fu Hu Ming Wang body continued to operate, the strength of his physical body continued to increase.

For a day and a night, Su Yan did not leave the house and managed to absorb all the evil spirit of the seal.

[Subduing Tiger Vajra King Body: 74/100 (Beginner)]

The seal in front of him became increasingly dim, and the dark red color also faded a little.

However, Su Yan himself was full of energy, especially his physical strength, which had reached a new level.

"What a great body of the Subduing Tiger King! Even if his proficiency is only at the entry level, the improvement in refining the Tiger Evil is so great."

Su Yan smiled. He looked at the seal in front of him, which had lost its luster and was on the verge of falling to a third-level spiritual weapon.

So, with an idea in his mind, the Soldier-Swallowing Moth appeared behind him and swallowed the seal in one gulp.

The power of the Weapon-Swallowing Moth enveloped his body, and soon the power of the Netherworld transformed into a tiger-head seal, which was the complete form of the seal just now. It was awe-inspiring, and had the power of a lower-grade third-rank seal close to a mid-grade third-rank seal.

[Soldier-Swallowing Moth: 77/100 (Newborn)]

Kill two birds with one stone. For the Devouring Moth, devouring spiritual weapons is the fastest way to advance, and it also provides an additional means of attack.

"What a pity, the advancement speed of the Weapon-Swallowing Moth is much slower after the third level."

If others knew his attitude, they would probably want to kick him in the face.

Being protected by a third-level evil beast is something that many big families cannot do.

Not only does he have a third-level ferocious insect to protect him, but he also complains that his progress is too slow. It is easy to imagine how much he will be disliked.

"The Beast King Sect's disciples are indeed domineering. No wonder we ordinary sects have to avoid them."

Suddenly there was a sound outside the window. Su Yan was slightly surprised and walked to the window to take a look.

Under the Tingwu Tower, two groups of people were confronting each other there without knowing when.

On one side were Suo Yunyi and his companions, and on the other side were new faces, three or five young men and women with tall statures, led by a young man in black clothes holding a knife.

"Humph, is the Jiufeng Sect only good at talking?"

Suo Yunyi was not polite and mocked him coldly.

Jiufeng Sect?

Su Yan's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then he smiled, thinking: "He is deliberately looking for trouble."

As expected, the man from the Jiufeng Sect's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword and attacked, with the true intention behind him condensing like a gray wolf.

"I'm afraid you won't make it."

A spear appeared in Suo Yunyi's hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the spear light suddenly became like a star, and there was a clanging sound when it collided. The true meaning of the Green Wood Dragon swept out with a strong wind and knocked the true meaning of the Blue Wolf away. The wolf's head faintly disintegrated, forcing Wang Canglang of the Jiufeng Sect to retreat four steps, and the blue stone under his feet was already cracked.

"Good job."

Wang Canglang of Jiufeng Sect raised his eyes and looked deeply at Suo Yunyi, then clasped his fists slightly and stopped his movements.

Suo Yunyi stood straight with his gun in hand, and said calmly, "If you want to test me, you are always welcome. I hope you have the courage to do so in this secret realm."

Conflicts come and go quickly, after all, they are just a test of the other party's strength.

Seeing that the Beast King Sect showed no sign of backing down and was so tough, everyone understood that this time the Beast King Sect probably wanted to kill the other two sects to gain some prestige.

On the seventh floor of Tingwu Building, in a room.

Four men and three women took in the entire conflict. A burly man in a dark shirt standing by the window said calmly, "Wang Canglang didn't use his full strength, but Suo Yunyi still pushed him back four steps. There's still a gap."

"Senior Brother Wang is ranked ninth in my Jiufeng Sect, and Suo Yunyi is ranked fifth in the Beast King Sect. It's not surprising that there is such a small gap."

The woman in green leaning against the door raised her eyes slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

The pale-faced young man knocked on the table and reminded: "Yuan Yi is the tough one. He was born with a martial body and has been halfway to the Danqiao for a year or two, right?"

"Yuan Yi, I will defeat him."

Xing Xiyang's eyes, sitting on the main seat, were red, as if burning with fire. His voice was icy cold: "My Black Fire Snake is no worse than his Greedy Wolf Body, and this is the Blood Dragon Secret Realm."

Xing Xiyang is the first person on the Jiufeng Sect's True Meaning List, and he also possesses a natural martial body - the Black Fire Snake.

He had fought with Yuan Yi before, but unfortunately lost due to his weapon. Now they meet again, and in the Blood Dragon Secret Realm.

If it swallowed a large amount of blood dragon essence and blood dragon essence, it might be possible for the black snake to transform into a dragon and defeat Yuan Yi.

"But he's not first this time. The first one is a kid named Su Yan..."

……

"Xing Xiyang of the Jiufeng Sect, Yuan Yi and Su Yan of the Beast King Sect... are all formidable enemies. Their natural martial arts bodies are not inferior to mine. Even the Diamond Sword Tiger may not be able to defeat them."

The two-meter-tall man looked embarrassed and there was some concern in his words.

The young disciple at the side immediately said, "Junior Brother Gu Nian, you've only been a disciple for three years, and your Vajra Sword Tiger Martial Body is in its prime. Don't underestimate yourself. Those two are definitely no match for you."

"That's right, Jianyi Sect has you standing up for us. We will help you challenge them one by one and clear away all obstacles. Among the three major sects in Lingnan Prefecture, it's time for Jianyi Sect to take the lead."

The Jianyi Sect has slightly fewer people, but there is no doubt that when it comes to fighting for the top, their eyes are as sharp as swords and they are more eager than the Jiufeng Sect.

Gu Nian sensed the expectations of his fellow brothers, touched the giant sword beside him that was like half a door, and nodded heavily: "Brother, don't worry, I will do my best."

……

"The Nine Peaks Sect and the Beast King Sect are fighting. The outcome is still undecided, but the Nine Peaks Sect is slightly stronger..."

Inside the Demon-Suppressing Guard Mansion and the Flag-Bearing Guard Mansion, the soldiers and guards passed the news to all the major Flag-Bearing Guards.

For a moment, everyone revealed their subtle thoughts, and the ten flag-bearing guards met each other.

"Gu Lingfeng, you are the leader of the ten flag-bearing guards. Don't you want to express your opinion?"

"Hmph, what's there to announce? Didn't we just receive the elixirs yesterday? The demon-suppressing envoys and the various lords in charge all think we can't compete with the three sects, right?"

A young woman, with her long hair tied behind her back, was wearing the standard military uniform of the Demon Suppression Guard and had a faint smile on her face.

She said calmly, "I didn't say that."

"Xia Xier, isn't your sister in the Beast King Sect? Is there any news?"

Xia Xier looked towards the source of the voice and snorted, "What's the point of Du Yuan asking questions even though he already knows the answer? We have different affiliations and different responsibilities. The Xia family would never do such a dirty thing."

Du Yuan knew he had said the wrong thing and straightened up slightly: "That's not what I meant."

Seeing his attitude, Xia Xier nodded slightly: "She didn't say anything, but judging from her expression, she is determined to take us. You should all be careful."

"interesting."

A serious young man with thick eyebrows and serious eyes muttered in a low voice: "In the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, I am not afraid of anyone."

Seeing his expression like this, everyone also showed a complicated look.

Although he is only ranked second among the ten flag-bearing guards of Lingnan Prefecture, no one dares to underestimate him.

Because his surname is Qin.
-
After the disciples from all factions gathered, just two days later the Demon Suppression Guards brought news that the Blood Dragon Secret Realm was about to open, and all the disciples who wanted to enter the secret realm gathered near the Pagoda Mountain in Lingtian River.

In the Demon Suppression Guard Mansion, four pitch-black Dali Xuanzhous were raised. The boats were a hundred meters long and had black-scaled dragon beast patterns on them. They were the guardian beasts of the Dali Dynasty.

Everyone stood on the Dali Xuanzhou and flew about twenty miles towards the east of the city. It hovered over the Lingtian River and saw a high mountain by the river in the distance. On the mountain was a pagoda with seven stories high, which was very popular.

"General Qin saved the entire city back then. For hundreds of years, the city's residents have been grateful for his kindness, and their incense has never ceased to burn."

Qi Nianshuang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of pride, and his colleague, the demon-suppressing envoy Zang Liangcai, had the same expression.

The Demon-Suppressing Guards killed wild beasts, exterminated evil ways, and protected the peace of the city. To be able to receive such gratitude is the best medal of military honor.

"Senior Qin's deeds are worthy of such incense."

Yan Yin had a serious expression, with a bit of admiration on his face. Although there were some conflicts between the forces, as a person, he always respected such people.

Although the elders leading the Jiufeng Sect and Jianyi Sect were not as straightforward as Yan Yin, they also nodded in agreement. They were able to come here because of Qin Jingtian's grace, and they were willing to accept this friendship.

The Dali Xuanzhou landed on the surface of the river, and the surging river water was surging like a vicious dragon.

Everyone standing on the Xuanzhou could feel the surging water a thousand meters below the river surface.

"Brother Zang, let's go."

Qi Nianshuang called Zang Liangcai, and the two flew to the front of the Xuanzhou, suspended in the air, took out two ancient tokens in their hands and threw them into the rolling river.

In an instant, a thousand meters of river water seemed to be split by a long sword, and the waves rose hundreds of meters, suddenly revealing the bottom of the Lingtian River.

The token continuously released spiritual energy fluctuations, and soon a black tower silhouette gradually emerged, hundreds of meters high, standing in the middle of the river, constantly transforming between reality and illusion.

The three characters "Jingtian Tower" were written on the ancient tower, as vigorous as a dragon. The powerful force continued to spread, like a mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts, and the fierce pressure made the deck of the Xuanzhou creak.

Su Yan was in a trance, and seemed to see the thrilling scene of the surging river and the man and the tower fighting the blood dragon alone in the thunder and rain.

The man has been dead for hundreds of years, but the Taoist soldiers he left behind still have such power.

Even Su Yan couldn't help but sigh: Awesome.

"The younger disciples of the Demon Suppression Guard, Qi Nianshuang and Zang Liangcai, are bringing the talented young men from Lingnan Prefecture to the tower for training. We beg General Qin to grant us permission."

The two men looked solemn and especially respectful, and it was unclear whether they were saluting Qin Jingtian or the Jingtian Tower.

The two men bowed solemnly, then turned around. Behind them, the shadow of the Jingtian Tower flew out more than a hundred blood-red tokens, the size of two fingers, like a shadow.

Qi Nianshuang grabbed the tokens from a distance and held them in his hands, his eyes sweeping over the True Realm disciples on the four boats.

He said loudly: "The Blood Dragon Secret Realm is right here. If you drink the blood of the Blood Dragon and refine the Blood Dragon Soul, you can transform your true meaning and pave the way for your Danqiao. I will not go into details about the benefits here, I will only talk about the rules."

"In the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, there is no prohibition on fighting or using any means. You will only be teleported out of the tower at the moment of your death. The moment you leave the tower, the number of blood dragon beasts you have killed will be recorded in the Jingtian Order with the blood dragon spirits, and your ranking will be determined based on this. As for the Jingtian Tower in the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, it is General Qin's inheritance. If you have the ability, you can try to enter the tower."

After Qi Nianshuang finished speaking, the Jingtian Order in his hand flew out and landed in the hands of every warrior who entered the Blood Dragon Secret Realm.

Soon it turned into a red light and penetrated into everyone's left arm, forming a mark on the palm of their hand.

"In a moment, the secret realm will be opened."
