The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 49 Return to the Forest
"Old man, the main person in charge of refining the pills is Old Xu. I just helped with some minor chores. Not to mention, I'm not here for the pills."

Su Yan did not accept the second-level elixir, even if it was only a low-grade second-level one.

But just one of these might be worth three to five hundred taels of silver, and in a small town like this, it might be out of stock.

"Take it if you're told to. I only need one, or two at most, to heal my injury. If you're here to help me just for the pills, I won't give them to you."

Song Qi was also quite temperamental: "Don't just rely on me as your backer. If you have the guts, you can be my backer. Although the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pills are mainly used to repair injuries, if used as a tonic, they can also strengthen your foundation and eliminate the hidden injuries from your Golden Ape Jade Body training."

After all, the Golden Ape Jade Body Kung Fu is a horizontal training skill. It not only requires the use of qi and blood to warm the skin, membranes, and muscles, but also requires continuous training and the use of medicine to nourish the body.

Tempering will cause hidden injuries.

If ordinary people progress slowly, the accumulated hidden injuries will eventually heal.

However, this kid's training enthusiasm and speed are such that he's bound to accumulate some hidden injuries.

"Take the medicine and go get some rest. I guess all your silver is gone. I'm not going to lend you any money for cultivation. Go up the mountain and look for it yourself."

Song Qi ordered them to leave and spent a lot of money to prepare the materials for the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pills.

Of course, it’s not that he can’t lend money to Su Yan.

But he won't give it easily, or he will only give some help when Su Yan really needs it.

Warriors need to hone their skills, and going into the mountains is also a form of practice.

Came out from Song Qi and returned to his room.

"The old man is really willing to give it up."

Su Yan looked at the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pills in his hand and smiled softly.

Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Yi Jin Xu Mai Pill into his stomach.

Unlike first-grade medicines like Sanyuan Decoction, this pill dissolved immediately after entering his stomach, and an extremely obvious and surging medicinal power immediately rushed into his body.

The surging medicinal power continued to impact, passing through the meridians and almost bursting them. At the same time, a healing force was also constantly integrating into the meridians.

Tear, repair, strengthen.
During the three cycles of the Yi Jin Xu Mai Wan, Su Yan suffered pain no less than being soaked in Du Fu San.

One comes from the outside in, while the other comes from the bones.

"My meridians are not as good as those of a master who can move blood and nourish essence. They are not yet fully opened. I will suffer from this."

Su Yan reacted in an instant, gritted his teeth and concentrated his energy, dividing the surging medicinal power into three parts.

One is to temper the skin membrane and promote the continuous progress of skin refining skills.

The second is to use the practice cycle of Golden Ape Jade Body Technique to channel most of the medicinal power into the cycle of body tempering.

The last part of the medicinal power was almost beyond Su Yan's control and drive. It instinctively integrated into the muscles of his body, slowly strengthening his body and consolidating his bones.

Nearly two hours passed like this before the medicinal power was initially absorbed. Su Yan could clearly feel that there was still more medicinal power hidden in his body, enough to support him in practicing for several days.

[Body Refining Realm: Skin Refining 160/400 (Great Accomplishment)]

[Golden Ape Jade Body Skill: 30/100 (Beginner)]

When I saw Song Qi again the next day, his gray hair had grown back a lot of black hair, and he had a strong body and a calm aura.

Su Yan only needed one glance to tell that Song Qi had not only recovered from his injuries, but had also entered the Yang Yuan realm.

After congratulating Su Yan, Song Qi said that he was lucky, but his mouth was wide open with a smile.

God knows how long he has been waiting for such an opportunity.

Su Yan did not stay long. He packed up his things and left Xu Zhongdao's mansion.

Now that Song Qi has dealt with the matter, it is natural for Su Yan to take care of his own business.

When I came to the street, before I left the city, I heard faint noises coming from the crowd.

"Something happened again. Xiaoshanhui's medicinal fields were also robbed last night."

Su Yan frowned when he heard this. First it was Baicaotang, and then it was Xiaoshanhui. He was afraid that something big was going to happen.

"Tap Tap"

The sound of galloping horses was heard, and the crowd avoided it. The chief constable Xu Guan rode his horse quickly towards the outside of the city. Beside him were dozens of constables and yamen runners, all of whom looked aggressive.

Go out of the city to suppress the bandits!
Su Yan's mind flashed with these four words. But with this kind of movement, could he really catch Pang Tianfeng? He suppressed his thoughts and pondered: "Whether it succeeds or not, Pang Tianfeng's activities are not near Yunqian Village. I will be active there and find some poisonous herbs to allow the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion to continue to break through. That's the real thing."

Thinking of this, Su Yan quickened his pace and headed straight for Yunqian Village.

The villagers were surprised to see him come back, but they didn't think it was strange.

From Su Yan's success in martial arts, they knew that this Yan brother would definitely leave Yunqian Village, it was just a matter of time.

I gave some of the snacks I bought to Xie Bao from my neighbor.

Su Yan picked up his backpack and weapons and went straight into the mountains.

Su Yan's stance training had been perfected, and he had also cultivated the Golden Ape Jade Body Technique. Now his steps were even lighter.

With just three or two leaps, he could cover a distance of seven or eight meters. The mountain road became like a flat road to him.

Su Yan dived into the mountain and immediately released the Yinshui centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion.

Two messenger insects came out, like dragons returning to the sea, and they wandered through the bushes in the mountains.

Su Yan did not stay in the outer mountains for long. Although there were mountain products on this mountain, they were not the valuable medicinal herbs that Su Yan wanted.

Arriving at the inner mountain, Su Yan, carrying a backpack, began to explore carefully along the bushes and old forests.

The old tree roots were covered with moss, and the towering branches obscured each other, leaving only patches of sunlight to filter in.

The ground is covered with large-leafed weeping angelica plants that are half a person's height or a person's height, as well as green ferns that look like foxtails.

Insects and animals were rustling in the bushes, but Su Yan's eyes were flashing.

"Surrounded by dark water, the light is like spots. In such a humid environment, a drop of water should sink into gold."

Su Yan's gaze fell on the largest Dripping Guanyin. The so-called dripping water sinking into gold was the root of a mutated Dripping Guanyin.

It absorbs the vital energy of the environment, grows extremely large at first, and then quickly shrinks, forming a hard dark yellow rhizome, which looks like gold in flowing water and is called dripping gold.

This thing is also highly poisonous, but its medicinal effect is second only to that of Baozhi. It has the effect of stimulating qi and blood and increasing strength.

Even if it is not used by people who practice martial arts, it can be used elsewhere, and the price is not low.

Su Yan gave an order to the Yinshui Centipede, and the Yinshui Centipede climbed over and dug up the roots of these weeping angels.

The sharp mouthparts and arthropods came down, and the soil was completely pulled out, and the huge rhizome was completely exposed.

"sizzle"

The Yinshui centipede drilled in and soon found a depression in the root group. After peeling off the dead skin, it immediately saw a dark golden color, which was actually the dripping gold.

"A good start"

Su Yan showed a look of joy and put the thing away. The fist-sized dripping gold was the essence of this cluster of dripping Guanyin.

He took the drop of sunken gold and did not stay for long. Instead, he began to explore more proactively.

His mountain-chasing skills had already improved a lot. Now he used his ability to mark out an area, and the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect searched carefully.

The progress of searching for medicinal herbs was naturally much faster. In just one morning, his backpack was half full.

"Keep the dripping gold to make poison. There's no need to keep the old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and blood essence. You can use them all. This is the bamboo jade tooth."

While taking stock of his harvest, Su Yan was hesitating about what to do with the newly found bamboo jade teeth.

Bamboo Jade Teeth is a precious plant that has the effects of nourishing the body and replenishing blood, etc. It strengthens the body and is naturally beneficial to his martial arts training.

"Sell them first for some silver to replenish the tonic. These precious plants are found in the mountains, and with the Yinshui centipede, finding them won't be difficult. But I might need to replace my hardwood bow and broadsword, which will also cost me money."

Having made up his mind, Su Yan quickly walked down the mountain and went to the mountain market.

It was already evening when we arrived at Shanji Market, and yamen runners and constables had already entered the market.

Going further in, he frowned when he saw people coming and going.

Among the crowd, you can occasionally see a few big men, some dressed in sloppy clothes, some wearing thin raincoats for traveling, and some dressed in tight clothes.

They all had different looks, and their eyes stared at everyone who came and went like hounds.

The only thing they had in common was that they all carried sharp weapons, unlike ordinary people.
