The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 29 Back Alley Temple Butcher Shop

Baicaotang's shop is located in the most prosperous area of Yuncang Town, and the huge building occupies three or five storefronts.

The signboard is an ancient character with strong and vigorous grass. It is said that it was written by the founder of Baicaotang. It was written with some kind of precious wood that has been immortal for two hundred years and has a faint medicinal fragrance.

Su Yan entered the shop and saw it filled with medicine cabinets.

The apprentice is cutting and distributing the medicine, and the waiter is greeting the customers.

When the waiter saw him, he immediately came over and asked, "Sir, are you looking for some pills?"

The guy was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a blue cap and an indigo cloth shirt from Baicaotang. He looked quite smart.

He was used to seeing the spirit of martial artists, and when he saw Su Yan coming in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, he had a rough guess.

Su Yan nodded, and he showed a professional smile: "I wonder if you used the quasi-grade Qi and Blood Pills or the high-grade elixirs when you practiced martial arts in the past?"

The so-called quasi-grade medicine means that it is not of the same grade or quality, and is between general medicine and precious medicine for martial arts training.

Of course, even this quasi-grade medicine is more expensive than ordinary medicines, and is more than enough for people in the Skin Refining Realm to practice.

"I want the red skin powder."

With Song Qi's guidance, he naturally knew what was more appropriate.

The guy showed a strange look: "Sir, are you sure?"

"Is there a problem? Isn't this Red Skin Powder used for skin refining?"

Su Yan asked, and the guy nodded quickly: "Yes, it is used in the Skin Refining Realm. This Red Skin Powder should be a first-grade mid-grade precious medicine, which is extremely effective for the Skin Refining Realm."

"How many taels of silver?"

Su Yan started asking for the price, and the clerk said without further ado, "One bottle costs ten taels of silver. It can be used three times. Disperse it with hot water and soak it for one to two hours. When the liquid becomes clear, it means it has been absorbed. Just stand still and the medicinal effects will continue to gather and temper your skin."

I was just about to ask for more, but considering my net worth, I only had enough to buy four and a half bottles.

"Three bottles."

Su Yan gritted his teeth and emptied out most of his family's savings, but the clerk was grinning from ear to ear, as this was a big order.

Coming out of Baicaotang feeling sorry for his wallet, Su Yan only had three more white medicine bottles in his hand, each about two fingers wide, with enough medicine for only three soakings.

Thirty taels of silver means it can be used nine times, which is much more expensive than the medicine in the martial arts hall.

"Let's go to the butcher shop in the back alley temple."

Su Yan only had a dozen taels of silver left on him, so he simply headed straight for the temple in the back alley.

The back alley is not in the prosperous area of Yuncang Town, which is exactly the opposite of Baicaotang and the weapon shop.

Su Yan passed through seven or eight alleys and followed the old trees along the street before arriving at the location near the south gate of Yuncang Town, where he found a secluded alley.

Houmiao Lane, originally called Houxiang, was named after an old temple dedicated to the city god, and is also called Houmiao Lane.

It is said that this back alley existed when the entire Yuncang Town was still paved with yellow mud and a few thatched houses were scattered around.

This is an old place, but unfortunately not many people come here. Apart from some wealthy families, there are also people who practice martial arts.

Su Yan stepped into this place and looked for the abandoned old temple. Next to the old temple, he finally saw a gate that looked like a temple gate and a gate to a large courtyard.

The carvings on the eaves are of evil beasts, dark and dull, but the marks of the carvings are deep into the wood.

The door was wide open, and apprentices came and went. They were all strong and sturdy.

The sharp knife in his hand clanged, and it was polished to a shiny finish. With one stroke, he cut a piece of good meat and divided it on the chopping board like cutting tofu.

This is ordinary beef and mutton, which is cut into pieces, bones are bones, meat is meat. The skillful cutting looks like Yang Sandao's posture, both of whom are experts in skinning, deboning, cutting and dividing meat.

Su Yan came to the door of the butcher shop, raised his head slightly, and saw large characters carved with a knife on the plaque: Temple Butcher Shop.

"As sharp as a knife, this word is integrated with momentum."

It was clearly three big characters, but it looked like a bloody butcher knife lying there, frightening people.

"But, this is normal."

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly. The fact that this temple butcher shop could gain a foothold and sell wild beast meat was enough to prove that it was probably the best in the city. Su Yan stepped forward and a waiter came forward to greet him. He said straight to the point: "I'm here to buy wild beast meat."

"Guests, follow me."

The clerk nodded and led Su Yan in, through the front hall of the butcher shop, and arrived at the backyard.

The yard suddenly became bright. Su Yan looked around and suddenly found that there were many strong and tall people here.

As the waiter walked, he said, "Today, a blue-backed rock bull was delivered from the mountains. It's a wild beast of the early first stage. It has been grazing on mountain medicinal herbs and precious medicines all year round. Its meat is firm and has excellent effects in warming and nourishing qi and blood. I'm selling it for one catty, one ounce, and five cents of silver."

As they were talking, they came to a courtyard with high walls. They felt a chill coming over them and the temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"Bang!"

A heavy crash was heard, and before Su Yan and his companions could react, they heard someone in the yard shouting loudly.

"Good beast, if you hit this meat again it will be ruined."

Everyone hurried towards the gate and saw a strong old man in his early fifties holding a sharp ox horn knife. His muscles were sharp and angular. He stood upright in front of a giant green bull.

But the cow was much bigger than ordinary buffaloes and oxen, about four meters long and more than two meters tall. Its horns were like tree forks, its eyes were like furnaces, and it roared from its mouth. However, its body was tied with iron chains.

The old man turned around to look at everyone and grinned, "What a coincidence! Blood collectors, get ready."

He strode forward, and the blue-backed rock bull seemed to be crazy, its skin and flesh bulging, its tendons as hard as iron, pulling the iron chain straight towards him.

The old man's body tensed up, and in an instant he looked like a tiger or leopard, his eyes widened, and the blue-backed rock ox suddenly stopped.

The old man stepped forward with a knife in hand, grabbed the bull's horns with his big hands and pressed them down. The huge blue bull's body was actually pinned to the ground by him.

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, and his four hooves, like pillars, struggled but he couldn't get up.

The sharp knife flashed a white light, like a flash of lightning, and pierced into the throat of the blue-backed rock bull.

At the same time, the old man skillfully pressed a point on the cow's cervical vertebrae with his hand. A slight cracking sound was heard, and the back half of the cow's body stopped moving. It became stiff and immediately became soft and weak.

Su Yan was shocked: "What a sharp knife, what a cruel hand, the cow's spine is broken."

The apprentice at the side hurried forward, caught the bull's blood, and used the iron chain and the beam across the patio in the yard to hang up the body of the blue-backed rock bull.

As soon as the blood was drained, the old man stepped forward with a knife and swung it. The knife didn't seem to be sharp, but it slid like a white shadow.

The white knife entered the back like cutting into tofu, without any obstruction and no blood sticking to the blade.

Su Yan was mesmerized by the sight. This sword technique must have been integrated into his body. He was probably already at the highest level.

In just a few minutes, the huge blue-backed rock bull was dismembered. The huge bull scorpion and the bull's head were still hanging on the beam, the bones were miserable and dripping with blood.

"Sir, the price of Greenback Rock Beef is one ounce and five cents per pound. If you want the heart, brain, or bone marrow, you'll need more silver."

Su Yan was awakened by the waiter's voice, and his thoughts on deducing the Monkey Fist were interrupted.

"Ten pounds"

Excluding some small copper coins, he only had fifteen taels of silver left on him.

Su Yan emptied his family's savings, and although he felt heartbroken, compared to making his body stronger and stronger, this little money was just a trivial matter.

After receiving Su Yan's money, the clerk immediately went to talk to the old manager.

Xie Zheng waved his hand and said, "Cut it and give it to the guests."

The apprentices' skills were not as good as Jie Zheng's, but they were all good at cutting meat. Soon they wrapped ten kilograms of meat and handed it to Su Yan.

The remaining guests were also delivered, and more people came one after another.

Su Yan took the meat and then turned and left.

However, Jie Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at his back quietly.

"His figure and steps have taken on a certain look, and he can't hide it anymore. That's quite interesting. When did this little brat appear in the Golden Ape Martial Arts School?"
