The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 242 Golden Pill and Lake
Beast King Sect, Guizang Valley

As soon as Su Yan returned to Guizang Valley, he directly controlled the six-winged blood centipede and headed towards the main peak.

The main peak is the first mountain where the first one is located, located in the Guizang area of Guizang Valley.

He had just landed on the main peak when the huge body of the Yinhun Silver Toad lay on the top of the mountain like a mountain. It opened one eye and glanced at him.

"Senior, I'm here to look for my master."

Su Yan bowed slightly, and the Yinhun Silver Toad raised one hand and pointed to the cave not far away.

He strode over and just as he reached the cave entrance, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Have you achieved a breakthrough in Danqiao?!"

Gu Sanqian looked solemn. He reached out and grabbed his shoulders, and a huge amount of true energy poured into him.

The true energy in Su Yan's body was stimulated, and he instinctively dispersed the influx of true energy.

Gu Sanqian's solemn expression changed, and then turned into surprise, and then he nodded slightly.

Gu Sanqian is worthy of being the Dharma Real Person. He has experienced a lot of things. Just from the extremely condensed true essence, he can tell that Su Yan's Dan formation is not simple.

"Good boy, you can disperse my true essence. It seems that you are not greedy for the breakthrough of the first level of golden elixir. That's good."

It is already very difficult for ordinary disciples to break through, so naturally they are not required to continuously condense the golden elixir in their elixir acupoints.

Lifespan, talent, resources... When all factors are limited, breakthrough is the only option for ordinary disciples.

However, for the disciples at the top of the Tiger List, especially those like Su Yan who have a natural martial body and a Dharma-Appearance master, it is not impossible for them to break through the Dharma-Appearance in the future.

There are requirements for the level of pill making.

Gu Sanqian asked seriously, "How many turns has the elixir taken?"

Nine Turns

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth, and Gu Sanqian widened his eyes: "How much?"

"Nine"

嘶

Gu Sanqian looked at his grand disciple in disbelief. He had completed the ninth level of the elixir and had only been a student for two years. Including the time he had spent practicing martial arts, it was only almost three years.

monster
These two words suddenly popped up in my mind.

"Improper!" Gu Sanqian scolded, "Since you've achieved the ninth level of the elixir, you should know how terrifying the spiritual energy and true essence required for the ninth level elixir are. But you didn't even bother to meet your master. Have you grown too independent?"

Su Yan was scolded, but he didn't dare to refute the old man at all.

If he had broken through in the Beast King Sect at that time, on the fourth-level spiritual vein of the main peak, his breakthrough would definitely have been much easier and he would have saved a lot of elixirs.

He smiled apologetically and said, "I didn't want to either, but after coming out of the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, my bloodline transformed shortly after, so I was forced to break through."

Forced to break through
What a niche word! If other disciples knew about it, they would probably kill people.

Gu Sanqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are lucky, it seems that your bloodline may be of the fourth-grade upper grade."

"Perhaps," Su Yan said, "During General Qin Jingtian's trial, he happened to obtain a dragon-eating insect, which activated his bloodline."

Gu Sanqian was surprised and said, "He also has this thing? It seems to be in line with you."

He pondered for a moment, then led Su Yan into the cave.

It is called a cave, but in fact it should be a palace, specially used for his daily life and cultivation.

The palace is simply decorated, but there are extremely ingenious formations all around to gather spirits.

Gu Sanqian waved his hand and two cups of tea appeared on the table.

"Bright Heart Tea, you've just achieved a breakthrough. This tea can help you calm your mind and focus, allowing you to master your body's power more quickly. After achieving the ninth level of elixir cultivation, your future practice will be much more difficult than for others."

Su Yan sat upright and took a sip of the Mingling Spiritual Tea in the cup. He immediately felt more energized, as if he had been immersed in cold spring water.

“Because of accumulation?”

"Hmm," Gu Sanqian nodded. "Your master and I haven't told you much in the past, but it's not too late to tell you now. Do you know how many levels Junior Brother Xuanxing's elixir had reached?"

Su Yan shook his head: "Is it the same as me?"

"Seventh Rank," Gu Sanqian said with a smile, "How many people in the Wilderness Martial Realm can be like you? Only the descendants of the Dali royal family, as well as the direct disciples of the Dayan Dao Sect and the Changsheng Pavilion, can possibly reach the seventh and eighth rank of Jindan cultivation. Ninth Rank is even rarer."

He said slowly, "Xuanxing is a seven-turn golden elixir. My senior brother and I are only at the six-turn golden elixir. Generally speaking, if you want to cultivate the Dharma image and integrate the artistic conception, you need at least the fourth-turn golden elixir."

Su Yan was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that even if one breaks through with a Jindan below the third level, he can't break through to the Dharmakāya?"

"No," Gu Sanqian shook his head. "The Dharmakaya is natural. It requires the Golden Elixir as its seed to nourish the Dharmakaya and connect heaven and earth. Summoning the Dharmakaya, it can easily move hundreds of meters, destroy cities, move mountains, fill the sea, hold up the sky, and cut through the stars... To nurture such a magical Dharmakaya, do you think an ordinary Golden Elixir can do it?"

"The Body Tempering Realm refines the physical Qi and blood in order to cultivate True Essence. The True Intention Realm nurtures True Intention Beast Spirits, but these are merely streams. Only in the Danqiao Realm, where the upper, middle, and lower Dantians are opened up, with the Golden Elixir representing the sun and moon, and the Acupoints representing the stars, is this sufficient to cultivate a Dharmakāya. Therefore, this Golden Elixir is a lake that gathers True Essence, Spirit, Qi, and Blood."

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and an idea struck him: "How big is the lake, how big is the Dharma image?"

"Correct."

Gu Sanqian nodded, revealing a look of satisfaction, a man who could be taught. "To nurture the Dharmakāya and connect with nature, one needs a Golden Core of at least Rank Four. This Rank Four refers to the Rank Four at the time of breakthrough. The three Dantians, upper, middle, and lower, are the Spiritual Golden Core, the Qi and Blood Golden Core, and the True Essence Golden Core. All three must reach Rank Four to achieve a breakthrough in the Dharmakāya. The weaker the Golden Core, the more likely it is that the Core will shatter and the person will die during the breakthrough, their body and the Dao will vanish."

Su Yan looked thoughtful and asked, "After the pill is formed, can we continue to integrate the power and grow the pill pattern?"

"Can"

Gu Sanqian said, "But the difficulty is several times greater. The golden elixir is the foundation of one's cultivation. Once formed, it is extremely durable. Destroying it and regenerating it is no easy task. The energy required is also immeasurable. Therefore, when the elixir is formed, if there is any spare energy, we will try our best to create a high-quality golden elixir."

He stared at Su Yan, looking him up and down, and suddenly said, "With your body, you will be able to condense Qi and blood into a golden elixir in your middle dantian in the future. Even if it is not the ninth level, it will probably be above the sixth level. Your mental strength is not weak to begin with, at least the fifth level. If you suppress it and then break through, you may have a chance to reach the seventh level. Hey, you really are a Dharma seed."

Su Yan smiled modestly, but in his heart he was thinking: "With the insect bone armor, physical training, and the insect master bloodline brought by the bloodline gift now, the ninth transformation should not be difficult. The insect consciousness seed is a little worse, but it is not weak either."

"Don't be happy yet"

Gu Sanqian warned, "Junior Brother Xuanxing has achieved the seventh level of elixir cultivation, and he's been aiming for breakthroughs in both the middle and upper dantians. Especially when it came to the All-Starry Heavens, he was actually concentrating on filling all 365 of them. Each step required many times more resources than an ordinary person. He persevered until the All-Starry Heavens barrier, and his Dharma Realm was like a thousand-foot-high ancient barrier, completely unbreakable. Too much is as bad as too little; a too strong foundation leads to this. Now, you can start with the Nine-Level Golden Core. Think about it."

If the accumulation is just right, then the breakthrough will come naturally, but if it is too thick, it will increase the difficulty for yourself.

This is a game question.

"Three Pills, Nine Transformations, what are the advantages of a breakthrough Dharmakāya?"

"The Dharma is like a god, and all Dharmas are golden."

Gu Sanqian said word by word: "The stronger the Dharma image, the more the connection between heaven and man will occur during the breakthrough, and the more you will master the innate supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are the Dharma, and when the Dharma is added to one's body, one is one step faster than others, and thus has the foundation for breaking through the Golden Body Realm. One step faster, every step faster."

Su Yan suddenly asked, "Where is Uncle Xiang Ge?"

"That kid broke through two levels in a row. He used the dragon and tiger true meanings and the Dragon and Tiger Heaven-Suppressing Art to condense the lower and middle dantians. They are probably at the fifth level. However, with the two dantians working together, it shouldn't be difficult to improve to the sixth level in the later stage. The seventh level will probably take some effort."

After the pill is made, it is not easy to destroy it and recast it again.

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Master?"

"Sixth level of elixir"

The double elixir fifth turn, the elixir sixth turn, it is difficult to judge the superiority, all for the future breakthrough of the Dharma Realm. Su Yan then realized that for these geniuses, sometimes the realm is just a threshold.

Gu Sanqian asked seriously, "As for the remaining Qi and Blood Golden Core and Spiritual Golden Core, if you want to reach the eighth level, your master and great-grandmaster will do their best to find opportunities for you to increase your Qi and Blood, strengthen your Spiritual Soul, and pave the way for you to break through the Dharma Realm."

He paused slightly, then said, "But if it's the Ninth Shift, then it's all up to fate. Nine is the ultimate, and it's probably difficult to achieve with just resources. But no matter what, our lineage will not interfere with your choice. Do you understand?"

Only you can walk the path of cultivation yourself. What does it matter what the experiences of your predecessors have?
"Thank you for the guidance, Master."

Su Yan kept Gu Sanqian's words in mind. This kind of guidance was better than countless secret books.

He took out a list and placed it on the table.

"I accidentally captured a Danqiao realm warrior affiliated with Yanying. This person's attack methods and body shape are similar to those of the Three Flame Palace. I obtained these things through interrogation."

Gu Sanqian took it and looked at it, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he sneered: "So it's this group of rats."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly: "Master, do you know?"

"The Demonic Sect has undying ambitions to take control of Lingnan Prefecture, and has been recruiting pawns within the prefecture year-round. It's not the first or second time that our disciples have descended the mountain to slay the Demonic Sect's lackeys. This organization, called Flame Shadow, has long been documented, but it's difficult to eradicate completely."

Gu Sanqian said, "You have quite a few people here. If we can eradicate them completely, it would be a great achievement. By the way, you need materials to cultivate your vicious insects. I'll go get some from the head brother."

When Su Yan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he directly told Gu Sanqian about those transformed creatures.

"Well, they are all rare items, and they are also rare treasures among the third level ones."

Gu Sanqian pondered for a moment, and suddenly a black crystal tree shaped like a branch and a porcelain bottle emitting heat appeared in his hand.
"I only have the Iron Fir Crystal Bone and the Poison Fire Black Qilin's blood essence. Take it."

"Thank you, Master."

Gu Sanqian smiled and said, "Your natural martial body is far more powerful than we expected. With such a foundation, you must bring it into play."

He was not surprised that Su Yan could clearly understand what was needed for the transformation of the ferocious insect's bloodline.

A natural martial body is guided by blood. High-level bloodlines instinctively know the direction of evolution of the ferocious insects below. What's so strange about that?
Gu Sanqian left Su Yan alone, strode out of the door, and disappeared into the clouds.

……

Gu Sanqian went directly to the main peak of Beast King Peak to find Chu Qidao.

No one knew what arrangements the two brothers had made, but when Gu Sanqian came out, a large number of disciples from the Mountain Protection Army went down the mountain one after another.

The skylarks flew away like shuttles, and dozens of them flew out in just half a day.

The disciples in the sect received their tasks at the Sect Affairs Pavilion one after another and went down the mountain.

Although the Beast King Sect operates as a sect, it has strong enough execution capabilities under the structure of the mountain protection army, deacon disciples, and inner disciples.

A sect is like an army, nothing more than this.

Su Yan naturally noticed the change, but this action was not the turn of these disciples who were ranked high on the Tiger List.

Just returned from the Blood Dragon Secret Realm, everyone benefited.

Whether it was Yuan Yi or Suo Yunyi, most of them were in seclusion.

Either they are strengthening their foundation, or they are preparing for a breakthrough.

For Jindan embryos like them, even if there are suitable tasks, they usually contact each other or are assigned by the sect.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like the sect's double-flowered red stick reserve.

Su Yan was also among them.

He naturally didn't need to go into seclusion since he had just made a breakthrough, but there was another thing he needed to worry about, which was opening up the mountain.

"Hold on, Chu Qidao, that stingy guy, can't even take out all six things."

Gu Sanqian took Su Yan and soared into the sky, heading straight for the ownerless mountain in Guizang Valley. Several things appeared in his hands, namely the Fire Heart Mysterious Mineral Crystal, the Sky Heart Lotus and the Earth Heart Mysterious Crystal.

"Master, are you robbing the Sect Leader?"

All three items are third-grade top-quality treasures, and together they are more precious than a fourth-grade treasure.

Gu Sanqian snorted coldly, "The Oily Spirit Flame is not found within the sect, otherwise I would have found it for you. You deserve a reward for your contribution in the Blood Dragon Secret Realm. Now that you have broken through the Danqiao and captured the Flame Shadow, if you didn't already have your own natal spiritual weapon, he should have rewarded you with a fourth-level spiritual weapon embryo."

Gu Sanqian didn't even need to mention that Su Yan was at the ninth level of the Golden Elixir Realm. Just based on the things mentioned above, Su Yan's solid form would become clear a hundred years later.

Chu Qidao still has this judgment.

"A fourth-order spiritual weapon embryo? That's not cheap."

Gu Sanqian said, "Don't worry. After you open the mountain gate, the head brother will personally open our sect's secret water and fire realm. He will use the power of heavy water and heavenly fire to help you forge your own spiritual weapon. This is the main reward."

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly: "What kind of secret realm is this?"

"The Semi-Saint Secret Realm, with its heavy water and heavenly fire, can refine the disciples' foundation. Even for a Dharma Realm master, it would be of great benefit. Only a great master can enter."

The sect has a lot of heritage. For example, there is a secret realm of Tiger Evil in Baihu Peak, and there is also a place of Guizang in Guizang Valley, which contains the power of life and death.

The secret realm of water and fire is one of the sect's foundations.

"arrive"

Gu Sanqian pointed his hand, and countless mountains appeared in front of him, some high, some low, some like swords piercing the sky, and some like giant beasts lying down, with a powerful aura.

"There are still thirty-one remaining mountains in Guizang Valley, all of which have spiritual veins sealed within them, at least first-grade, high-grade spiritual veins. There are formations protecting the mountains. If you like any of them, that will be your cave mountain."

Su Yan glanced over and saw lush mountains, flourishing forests, gathering spiritual energy, and the faint sound of some monkeys crying.

"Master, is this mountain different?"

“It’s not that different.”

Gu Sanqian said, "It was the disciples of Fuyue Peak who discovered a suitable spiritual vein in the heaven and earth, neither too long nor too short, just right for sealing. That's why they used their skills to move the mountain and return with the vein. The spiritual veins are not much different, and the formation is the same. If you want to build a treasure peak, you will need to spend more time yourself, or hire some servants and disciples."

At the Danqiao realm, one has long been qualified to recruit servant disciples.

Su Yan's eyes moved. It was indeed necessary to take care of the mountain with some disciples.

Although Xuanshuang Mountain is vast, my master has such a bad temper and is too lazy to recruit servants. There are not many medicinal fields on the entire mountain, and too little of it has been developed and utilized.

Since I already have disciples, I can let them make the arrangements.

But Su Yan is more focused on cultivation than Long Qiu Shui, and there is really no one to manage him.

Su Yan looked for a while and pointed to a half-high mountain peak that stretched for several miles, like a crawling centipede.

“I want this mountain.”

Gu Sanqian swung the token in his hand and said, "Drop blood on it."

After Su Yan did as he was told, the light from the mountain suddenly shot up into the sky, and the clouds and mists dissipated immediately, revealing the entire shape of the mountain, which was extremely lush and beautiful.

Su Yan was very satisfied and kept saying, "Then let's call it Wanchong Peak."

Gu Sanqian raised his eyes slightly and said, "That's right. Find some servants to clean up as soon as possible. When you have time, you can go find Senior Brother Chu and enter the Water and Fire Secret Realm to refine your life-defining spiritual weapon."
