The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 30: Going up the mountain to look for insects
Su Yan bought some things, found a deserted place, and stuffed them all into the insect world.

There were already quite a few herbs in it, along with his machete, and now with this in place, it was even fuller.

We walked out of Houmiao Lane and arrived at the prosperous Yuncang Town, where the sounds of hawking along the street were endless.

The aroma of roast goose, the bright red candied haws, and the boiling hot broth.
The prosperity of the city can be seen from this. In Yuncang Town, which has a history of hundreds of years, there are countless wealthy families, and even more entertainment items.

However, Su Yan only had a few hundred coins on him, so how could he squander even a few?

'After the leather is refined, eat it from the street to the end of the street'

Su Yan quickened his pace and returned to Yunqian Village at the speed of a monkey.

After the summer tax, every family is busy going to the mountains, planting crops, and filling the holes in their homes. Even now, in the evening, you can still see many villagers busy working.

Su Yan walked through the village path, came home, and set up a big pot.

He cut the green-backed rock beef he bought into half, stewed it in a pot, and added the ground blood vine and Danzhi.

Five pounds of blueback rock beef is actually not that much. The firm texture of the meat makes it only half the volume of beef of the same weight.

Su Yan waited until the beef was cooked, ate it all in big mouthfuls, and then immediately stood up and practiced the Golden Ape Posture.

As the standing meditation is performed, the food eaten is digested quickly and the energy contained therein is also being extracted.

Su Yan only felt a full and warm current in his stomach, which then gradually spread to his whole body.

Most of the qi and blood tempered by this exercise were swept up and merged into the skin like a wave.

"The warming and nourishing effect is surprisingly good, and it's endless, fitting in so smoothly with the body."

Su Yan was shocked, then he showed joy.

Whether it is a precious plant or a medicinal herb, the medicinal power is like a stream of water released from a floodgate, rushing in all at once.

However, the flesh and blood of the wild beast came slowly. Although its energy was slightly weaker, it had the advantage of being able to moisten things silently.

Su Yan didn't want to waste the medicinal power of the blue-backed rock bull, so he stood still and concentrated his mind. In a blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Most of the Qingbeiyan beef was consumed, and the remaining part was not engulfed by the power of qi and blood, but slowly nourished the body. This is the effect of warming and nourishing.

Su Yan felt the toughness of the skin and flesh and the faint traces of blood and energy beneath the membrane, and he knew that his skin refining skills had made some progress.

These qi and blood will not only strengthen the skin membrane, but also provide stronger defense and strength.

"Let's keep going and try the Red Skin Powder again."

Inner disciples have great benefits, including a more powerful auxiliary skill, a martial art, and the benefits that come with true identity.

Only after entering the inner gate can one be considered a real member of the martial arts school. With this status, one's future actions will be more ceremonial.

Then there is the matter of the opening of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Although what Li Shun and Dian Jing said was not very detailed, it can be inferred that each family in the Great Wilderness Mountain probably has interests, and opening the mountain is a way to divide up the interests.

Inner disciples are not only participants, but also probably one of the resource acquirers.

The wild beast meat alone has such an effect, he will not miss this opportunity.

Su Yan sorted out the current situation in his mind and said to himself: "First, I will achieve great success in skin refining, enter the inner gate, and then strengthen my muscles and bones."

He took a large wooden barrel, put in slightly scalding water, and then poured one-third of the bottle of Chifu Powder into it.

The red skin melted as soon as it entered the water, immediately turning a large bucket of water into a crimson color, as if it were blood. It was obviously only slightly hot water, but at this moment it seemed to be boiling.

Su Yan frowned slightly: "Will it be cooked?"

Although this thought arose in his mind, his hands did not hesitate at all. He took off his clothes, revealing his strong body, and stepped into the barrel.

He was completely immersed in the potion, with only his head exposed above the water.

"Although I can't quite strike the Golden Ape stance, if I practice it, I'm integrating the vibrations, muscles, and the movement of qi and blood into my body. Sitting cross-legged like this might not be a problem."

Feeling something in his heart, Su Yan immediately comprehended the standing meditation. After practicing it for a while, his breath rose and fell in a regular pattern, and his body actually began to mobilize more Qi and blood.

Although it is not as good as the standing posture, it is undoubtedly effective.

Su Yan was delighted by this and immediately immersed himself in it, using a variation of the standing meditation to absorb the medicinal power of the jar.

About three minutes later, his blood and qi began to surge, and his skin began to sense the continuous intrusion of the medicinal power. But Su Yan suddenly realized something was wrong. His skin gradually turned red, and the temperature rose quietly, as if it had been coated with a layer of chili oil.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the feeling of heat and severe pain burned every inch of the skin, as if the person was immersed in boiling chili water.

First, there was a wave of boiling water, and then countless fiery ants gnawed at the skin.

The explosive drug effects continued to rage in the membrane, and as they grew stronger, they also brought unimaginable pain.

"That damned Red Skin Powder has such a name."

Su Yan's veins popped out and his face flushed red, but he didn't even take a step to stand up.

The pain made him grit his teeth, but his eyes revealed a fierceness.

He even dared to fight a vicious tiger in hand-to-hand combat. Not to mention pepper water and boiling water, he would even dare to soak in potion containing razor blades.

"It's just painful."

Su Yan endured the severe pain, adjusted his heavy breathing, restored the tremors of his muscles, and mobilized the qi and blood in his body.

After torturing himself for an hour, the water gradually became clear, the medicinal power was all gathered in the body, and the skin was red like a cooked shrimp.

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashing with a sharp light like a knife. He jumped out with a body like a monkey, and when he inhaled the air into his body, his muscles and bones vibrated.

With the help of the medicine, he stood in the Golden Ape Posture for another hour.

This time, when standing in the stance, the movements were vigorous, like an enraged ape, the energy and blood surged like a torrent, crashing into every part of the membrane and forging it into skin as hard as iron.

[Body Refining Stage: Skin Refining 31/200 (Minor Success)]

[Golden Ape Posture: 79/200 (Minor Success)]

[Monkey Fist: Minor Success (21/200)]

The Golden Ape Posture had made further progress, and even the Skin Refining had taken a step forward. Although Su Yan had worked hard on his training, the effect of this tonic was also significant.

"The moon is rising, it's a good time to go into the mountains and meet the velvet fire scorpion."

Su Yan stopped practicing, changed his clothes, took only his backpack and weapons, and headed towards the mountains at night.

The moonlight is bright, the shadows of the old trees are intertwined, and the whole mountain looks like a dormant giant beast.

He stepped into the mountains and released the Yinshui Centipede, which hid in the bushes and followed his footsteps into the mountains.

Although the Yinshui centipede is only in the growth stage now, the purple color on its body is becoming more condensed and its shell is becoming more tough. It does not look like a poisonous insect, but more like a weapon.

Su Yan identified the direction and quickly rushed towards the mountain. He leaped forward and in a short while he was no longer in the bushes and weeds.

He walked very fast, and the mountain road was opened up by him before, so he was naturally familiar with it.

In just over half an hour, they had already climbed over a hill and arrived at the place where they had picked Danzhi before.

"The ferns covering the path haven't been disturbed, and there are some hoof prints. It seems that this place hasn't been discovered in the past few days. The velvet fire scorpion should still be there."

Su Yan looked at the traces and felt relieved. There were not many mountain herders coming here.

Although Uncle Xie, Guo Yun and others knew about it, they would still move around as usual, placing weeds such as ferns and tree branches where they passed by to cover up their tracks, so as to prevent other mountain herders from raiding their hideouts.

In addition, it was the summer tax season a few days ago, and no one would discover this place for a while.

This is naturally good news for him.

We hurried along quietly and finally arrived at a ravine where the outer mountain and the inner mountain meet.

Shrubs grew wildly, moss covered the mountain walls, many fallen trees lay across the ravine, and there was a thick layer of rotten leaves on the ground.

Su Yan looked at it in the silvery moonlight and saw a huge clump of Danzhi growing on the fallen tree. It was so fat and no wonder it attracted Guo Yun and others.

"Swish"

　Many thanks to my book friend "Yige Xiaoqingshan" for his suggestion. Using "entry", "minor success" and "great success" to describe the insect's growth process is a bit out of place, so the names of the context have been changed to: nascent stage, growth stage, mature stage, etc. Many thanks to all the book friends for their support. New book reading, monthly tickets, etc. are very important, so please help me.
