The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 56 Refining Poison Dragon Powder

Although Su Yan's request was sudden, Gao Zheng didn't find it strange.

After all, in his opinion, Junior Brother Su is such a handsome man with good talent, and sooner or later he will leave his business in the mountains and live in the city.

Finding a place to stay now is just the first step.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Leave it to me, Junior Brother. I'll send a few brokers to help you find a good place to stay today."

Gao Zheng is a warrior at the Blood Moving Realm and a well-known figure in this city. This kind of thing is really easy for him.

Su Yancai went to greet his master Bai Changlin and ask for advice on some matters related to his cultivation progress. Gao Zheng then arranged everything.

The residence he was arranged to live in was not a wealthy household, but on a street next to Houmiao Lane, close to the outer city, making it convenient for him to go in and out, and also for strolling around Houmiao Lane.

The people from the dental clinic brought Su Yan to the courtyard, which was a two-story courtyard. The front courtyard was paved with blue bricks and was flat and wide, with only two lush trees in the corner.

One is an osmanthus tree and the other is an old-leaf banyan tree, facing each other from a distance, covering most of the yard.

This is a good place to practice martial arts, as it is spacious and convenient for activities.

Further in is a small courtyard with rockery, flowing water, and many flowers and plants, which seems a bit secluded.

The broker said, "Master Su, the inner courtyard is the master's residence, with three rooms in total. The outer courtyard has several side rooms for servants to live in."

"That's it."

Su Yan didn't have high requirements and just took a look. There weren't many people living nearby, so this was a good place to stay.

"How much per month?"

As soon as Su Yan asked for the price, the broker waved his hand and said hurriedly, "Mr. Gao has already paid for a whole year's worth of money, so he dare not ask for Mr. Su's money."

Seeing the dental clinic in this state, Su Yan knew that it would not take any more money.

Even if we move to another place, I'm afraid Senior Brother Gao will never get the money back.

After sending the pawnbroker away, the key was handed over to Su Yan by the pawnbroker.

"Senior Brother Gao is trying to win him over, I think it's not just because of his friendly personality. I'm afraid there are also conflicts within the Golden Ape Martial Arts School."

Gao Zheng is indeed a good person, at least he treats everyone equally, but that doesn't mean there are no conflicts in the Golden Ape Martial Arts School.

If you want to become a true disciple, you have to fight. If you want to be in charge of different industries and positions, you have to fight. If you don’t fight, how can you accumulate resources to practice martial arts?
Su Yan carefully checked the inside and outside of the hospital and found nothing unusual.

After putting some things in place, he made an excuse to go buy a hundred pounds of charcoal and other supplies, just like preparing things for a new home.

At night, the streets and alleys were quiet. Except for the bustling places in the city where there was wine, meat, smoke and willows, the lights in many places had been turned off.

Su Yan had been preparing for a long time and now he started to take action.

He first lit the charcoal fire, then took out the medicine furnace he had taken from the cave and placed it on the fire to preheat it.

Even though this medicine furnace is not as good as Xu Zhongdao's, judging from its material and the feeling when holding it, it is not an ordinary thing.

"It's not difficult to refine the Poison Dragon Powder. I might as well practice with it. Even if some of the herbs get damaged, it won't be a big deal."

Su Yan was wealthy at the time, and he wanted to make some random combinations and temporarily refine some poison pills as feed.

But now, since there is a better choice, it is better to start with the Poison Dragon Powder to stimulate the stronger medicinal properties, and refine them all into this medicine to help him practice.

Not only him, the Yinshui centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion can also use this poisonous dragon powder to absorb poisons and strengthen their bodies and essence.

He laid out the herbs and classified them into different categories, just like the day Xu Zhongdao asked him to make medicine.

Poison Dragon Powder is at most a first-grade, low-quality elixir, an entry-level item that mainly relies on configuration.

Su Yan made such preparations just to be cautious.

Everything was ready, the temperature of the medicine furnace came up, and he immediately threw the medicine into it according to the prescription.

First, a small piece of snake venom stem is used as the main material. It is quickly burned in the hot furnace to dry out its moisture bit by bit.

After about a few minutes, the skin of the Yuan snake venom stem dried and cracked, emitting a fishy smell, and snake scale-like cracks appeared on the root skin.

Su Yan immediately added another medicinal ingredient, and a large amount of juice precipitated out and was instantly absorbed by the Yuan Snake Venom Stem.

As time passed, he successively added more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs, blended them together, and continuously precipitated more impurities under the control of the furnace fire.

Finally, around midnight, the aroma gradually subsided, and Su Yan withdrew from the medicine furnace. "It's done. Although there are some flaws, it's not wrong."

【Basic Alchemy 10/100 (Beginner)】

After just one refining, his proficiency increased a lot, and Su Yan's heart was filled with joy.

"continue."

After grinding the last bit of dried medicine into powder and putting it into a porcelain bottle, Su Yan immediately placed the furnace on the charcoal fire and continued to refine the medicine.

He had the physique of a warrior and an unusually tough personality, so staying up all night was easy for him.

He stayed up all night and refined most of the stolen medicine into Poison Dragon Powder.

At first I was a little unfamiliar with it, but later I could refine several batches in one furnace, and I gradually became proficient in it.

The basic alchemy skills went from entry-level to 1/200 of the level overnight, and his achievement was the twenty bottles of Poison Dragon Powder in front of him.

"The Yuan Snake Venom Stem has been used up. If we can't find this thing, we can only use other core spiritual medicines to change the formula."

Su Yan felt a little sorry, because the Yuan Snake Poison Stem was also one of the spiritual medicines. In other words, it was one of the precious plants mentioned by the mountain people.

If we make a big show of it, we can certainly collect it, but at this critical juncture, if we really want to find this thing, Pang Tianfeng will come here just by smelling it.

"Practice first. Twenty bottles will be enough for a while."

Su Yan took out a bottle and carefully rolled it into pills. There were ten pills in total, the size of a fingernail and dark green in color.

"Swish"

As soon as he thought about it, the Yinshui centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion that had been guarding him all night crawled over.

Two poison pills made from Poison Dragon Powder were thrown out, and the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion were swallowed respectively.

【Yinshui centipede 40/400 (mature stage)】

[Velvet Fire Scorpion 190/200 (Growth Stage)]

The two insects curled up, digesting the medicine, as if they were sleeping.

Su Yan looked at the changes in the two, his eyes lit up slightly.

"The same pill has different effects. The stronger the strength, the weaker the medicinal power. If that happens later, we'll have to switch to stronger pills."

While the two poisonous insects were digesting the medicine, Su Yan moved a large wooden vat into the yard, poured hot water into it, and then poured a whole bottle of Poison Dragon Powder into it.

In just three breaths, the boiling hot water turned dark green, like paint.

Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary warriors would be poisoned and injured for a long time if they went in.

"To temper the body with poison, one must become a golden body. This technique is also very violent."

Su Yan didn't hesitate, took off his clothes and strode in.

He did not even stand still, but with his eyes tightly closed, the flow of qi and blood combined with a special breathing rhythm to practice the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique.

Standing meditation is just a simplification. The whole set of breathing techniques, the movement of qi and blood, and the circulation of meridians are the basis of the practice.

Standing meditation is just a method of going from simple to complex.

As Su Yan practiced in this way, the venom corroded his skin and also flowed along his flesh, blood, and meridians, turning into fine dark green threads that gradually spread throughout his body.

The pain came from all over, as if one layer was burned by fire, another layer was scraped by a knife, and there were 180,000 ants gnawing at it from the inside out.

The pain of the venom erosion was unimaginable. Su Yan closed his eyes tightly, and beads of sweat rolled into the large wooden tub and mixed with the medicinal bath.

This continued for an hour until the venom gradually became clear, and the lines on Su Yan's body gradually faded, turning into light-colored patterns like scales, hidden under the skin of his flesh.

[Golden Ape Jade Body Skill 60/100 (Beginner)]

Su Yan's eyes flashed, his expression full of confidence: "The skin and body have greatly improved. One medicinal bath has such an effect. If it is blessed with insect essence, the tendons and bones will be broken within seven days."
