The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 39 Planning
Seeing Su Yan's expression, Xu Zhongdao explained: "Your body absorbs more powerfully than ordinary warriors who have achieved great perfection in skin refining, and you can tolerate pain better. I will slowly adjust some medicine for you according to your physical condition and give you a push."

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly: "Analyze specific issues specifically?"

Xu Zhongdao's eyes lit up. "That's a good point, yes, that's what I mean. There are thousands of different people with thousands of different bodies. Even for different martial arts, each student needs to adjust to their own needs before they can achieve minor or even major success and develop a technique that suits them."

"The same is true for medicine. The pills on the market are suitable for most people and are certainly effective, but they also make some compromises in certain areas. You don't think that so-called pharmacists and alchemists are just tools for making medicine, do you?"

Su Yan immediately shook his head: "Of course not, but I didn't expect it to be so customized."

"Not really. Even the rich and powerful can only take some treatment from time to time, and use doctors and pharmacists to assist in their practice, but they can't afford it."

This is not difficult to understand. You want such a pharmacist to help you continuously adjust the investment of cultivation resources according to your physical condition.

It not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also requires sufficient trust in pharmacists.

Otherwise, like this time, with several kinds of poisons at the beginning, who would dare to really try it?

Su Yan was not afraid, but bowed respectfully to Xu Zhongdao: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

In another courtyard in Yuncang Town.

Gu Hong lowered his head and stood in front of an old man with a respectful look: "Dad, if you don't think of a way, that old man Song Qi will heal his injuries."

"If it's cured, it's cured."

Gu Changfeng was wearing a black robe with a gold-threaded cloud pattern and a belt with a python pattern. He looked like a ferocious wolf, standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Above his body, a half-wolf-shaped shadow appeared, its breathing rising and falling, as if it was inhaling and exhaling vital energy and flowing into his body.

Although he looks to be in his fifties or sixties, he is full of energy and has some of the vitality of a young person.

His eyes were cold and indifferent as he said calmly, "You've wasted so many years of hard work. Even if you were cured, you'd only be at the Yang Yuan realm. It's wishful thinking to want to enter the True Meaning realm."

"But he."

"Hong'er, you have to prioritize."

Gu Changfeng interrupted him, "The desolate mountain is about to open. Miasma Valley, Ancient Forest Mountain, and Nine Turns Peak have all been closed for over six or seven years. I'm afraid there are many rare desolate beasts and precious plants. Let's not talk about the second-level desolate beasts for now, but the second-level precious plants and mountain products are all priceless."

He stopped practicing the stance, exhaled a long breath, and a faint white mist suddenly lingered around him.

"I'm afraid each family will fight tooth and nail. If we don't make some preparations first, we will suffer losses. The families in the city, the individual households in the mountains, and the troublemaker Pang Tianfeng are all difficult to deal with. Who is Song Qi?"

Gu Changfeng sneered: "The gang leader told me that not long after this land reclamation, the upper sect will send people to collect offerings, which is the big money."

"Dad, you mean the Beast King Sect."

Gu Hong's expression changed, with a hint of joy on his face.

Lingnan Prefecture is ruled by the Beast King Sect. Even the Demon Slaying Division of the Dali Dynasty is overshadowed by it. Many county towns and towns, especially the 100,000 wild mountains of Lingnan Prefecture, are completely dominated by the Beast King Sect.

The Beast King Sect came first, and the rest were sects like the Jiufeng Sect, the Lihuo Holy Sect, and the Danxuan Sect, each of which controlled famous rivers, mountains, and counties.

The Dali Dynasty controls the city of the people, and many sects control the famous Sichuan and Lingshan areas. They have their own advantages and disadvantages and check and balance each other.

However, the Beast King Sect is not included.

The Beast King Sect has united its forces and is very powerful in controlling wild beasts. Many of its disciples have gone down the mountain to start their own careers in the secular world. It has influence in every county and prefecture, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is deeply rooted.

The entire Bailu County is under the control of the Beast King Sect, and the same is true for Yuncang Town.

Every household has some connection to the Beast King Sect, offering tributes, treasures, and trade, seeking protection and opportunities for advancement.

This is also an opportunity for the Gu family father and son.

Gu Changfeng said, "The gang leader has inquired about the Beast King Sect's disciples. The Beast King Sect's visit this time, aside from the usual tributes, is a common practice for each sect to compete for a spot in the sect. It has little to do with us."

Gu Hong's eyes turned cold, but he nodded: "The requirements for joining the sect are extremely high. Even if a warrior under the age of twenty-five in Yuncang Town is powerful, it is difficult to become a disciple."

Gu Changfeng said in a serious tone, "So, if you want to fight for the opportunity to become a registered disciple of the lay family, if you offer enough treasures and make great contributions, you can obtain a Beast King Sect technique, which will be extremely rich. Even if your generation can't get in, your next generation will have a chance."

Gu Hong was moved by what his father said. If that was true, let alone entering the Yangyuan realm, even the True Yi realm would have a chance to break through and become a top figure.

"Dad, there are also masters from the First and Second Gangs, with the pressure of the true realm above them, how can it be our turn?"

"If you can help Xiaoshan, you will make great contributions. The leader will not favor one over the other. Moreover, the Beast King Sect practices martial arts by subduing beasts. The true meaning of nurturing is to focus on the word 'beast'. If you can find more young beasts when you open the mountain, why worry about not being able to accomplish your mission?"

The father and son were whispering and plotting, and Gu Hong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he knew what to do.

At the last moment, Gu Hong was in a hurry to act and was ready to go out and start planning.

The old man Gu Changfeng suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, is that old man Song Qi interested in a kid from a poor family?"

Gu Hong was stunned, thinking of Su Yan, and annoyed. He snorted coldly, "He was a kid from a humble family who gave the blood tendon flower to that old man."

'A bit courageous'

Gu Changfeng's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his tone was indifferent: "The Golden Ape Martial Arts School's inner gate examination is approaching, and we don't want to see bloodshed. So, let's give him a small punishment and a big warning, and don't let him enter the inner gate."

Both father and son are vengeful people. Since Su Yan joined Song Qi, he will naturally be targeted by the two of them.

Gu Hong nodded: "I understand, son."

Following Xu Zhongdao's instructions, Su Yan searched for the herbs in the city's pharmacies. Yin Chigen was a bit harder to find, but it was available in Baicaotang, and had already been pre-processed.

Although it is said that the precious plant is hard to find, if we expand the scope to hundreds of mountaintops, thousands of mountain villages, and tens of thousands of mountain dwellers, someone will eventually be able to find the precious plant.

Su Yan bought all the herbs and found an opportunity to buy some time. He pretended to go back to Yunqian Village to get the flesh and blood of the bronze fox ape and the wolf king, and carried them in large and small bags into Xu Zhongdao's mansion.

Just as Xu Zhongdao said, he was indeed not very skilled in refining the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pills.

According to what he said, the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pills were barely a second-grade, lower-grade pill, so even he couldn't use it casually.

Understand the properties of the medicine, get a feel for it, and then it’s not too late to take action slowly.

"Boy, come with me and watch me refine the Red Skin Powder."

Su Yan had just handed the materials to Xu Zhongdao when he was suddenly stopped by him.

I don’t know what Song Qi said to Xu Zhongdao, but it made Xu Zhongdao more interested in him.

"Mr. Xu, Chifusan is a recipe from Baicaotang."

Su Yan glanced at Xu Zhongdao, only to hear him shaking his head. "Any expert in using and refining medicine can make a recipe like this. It's not the foundation of Baicaotang. Old Song said you've also learned the art of identifying and distinguishing herbs. I'd like to see how you've progressed."

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Xu."

Su Yan's eyes flickered, and an idea came to his mind. He had found so many poisonous creatures and precious plants, but only let two servant insects eat them dry.

Although it is effective, it is still a bit of a waste. If I can refine a poison pill myself, what will be the effect?
