The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 67 The Abilities of the Jade Beetle
Jade Beetle

[The insect that eats gold, after a long time, will shed its shell. Its shape is like jade and it is as hard as iron. It can strengthen bones and strengthen the body.]

[Can be refined]

Su Yan held the smallest of the "sheddings". Compared with the other two sheddings, its color was darker and less transparent, as if there were impurities mixed in it.

If you buy this alone, maybe the old man who is good at leather refining will lower the price a little bit, after all, the quality of this one is really not good.

But Su Yan was different. The Ferocious Insect Cauldron trembled slightly. There was clearly a living alien insect in this so-called "remains".

It was this perception that made him notice this thing in the temple fair.

"The Jade Beetle isn't ferocious, and it doesn't react when held like this."

Su Yan didn't know much about the jade beetle. It was a strange insect that lived in the barren mountains and he had never been able to come into contact with it before.

Refining!
There is nothing to hesitate about.

For many days, whenever he hunted wild beasts or killed wild beasts, he would quietly let the Ferocious Insect Cauldron devour some of the beast's blood.

Although the amount is relatively small, it accumulates over time and has already accumulated to a hundred kilograms of essence and blood. Now it is more than enough to refine the jade beetle.

Not long after, as the power of the Fierce Insect Cauldron was injected, the insect shell immediately cracked, revealing a jade beetle covered with a jade shell and round hooked claws.

The jade beetle was enveloped by the power of the Evil Insect Cauldron and turned into a white light, sinking into the Evil Insect Cauldron.

[Jade Beetle 1/100 (Newborn)]

The jade beetle was successfully refined, and when Su Yan summoned it out again, it was about half the size of a palm.

It is all white and slightly fluorescent, looking more like a jade ornament.

“Its capabilities.”

As his perception deepened, Su Yan suddenly showed a look of joy, and his mind moved.

The white light on the jade beetle's body gathered faintly, and a barely noticeable white membrane appeared.

Su Yan swung the dagger, and it made a clanging sound, as if it hit an iron ingot.

"What a jade armor! Its offensive means are not obvious, but it has such a strong defense."

Su Yan's eyes lit up with joy, and he reached out to grab the jade beetle.

Under his control, the jade beetle climbed up his body, its claws clasped tightly around his palm.

At this time, the layer of jade armor that was supposed to cover the jade beetle actually spread out and gradually covered Su Yan's skin.

The color of the jade armor gradually faded, but it still existed.

Su Yan swung the dagger, and the slight clanging sound still came, as if he was wearing a layer of invisible armor.

In just less than ten breaths, the jade beetle immediately wilted a little, and the jade armor also quickly dissipated.

Su Yan took out the Poison Dragon Pill and placed it in front of the Jade Beetle, wanting to replenish the little guy's energy.

However, the jade beetle took a few steps back, showed signs of resistance, and turned around to crawl towards the remains.

"I thought about it wrongly"

When Su Yan saw this scene, he suddenly reacted.

The white-bone poison centipede and the velvet fire scorpion eat the poisonous dragon pill because they are extremely poisonous and are the poisonous creatures among the wild beasts.

But not every wild beast or insect likes to eat poisonous things.

The jade beetle's white jade mouthparts were like sharp gears, making a clicking sound. The remains of gold and stone seemed as crispy as biscuits at this moment.

After eating three molts in a row for a full quarter of an hour, the jade beetle finally regained much of its glory.

[Jade Beetle 54/100 (Newborn)]

Seeing it enter the realm, Su Yan fed it some ordinary blood-strengthening pills. He also bought this stuff at Baicaotang, but as it entered the realm, it was time to change the pills. He happened to feed the jade beetle, and when he saw it open its mouth to bite, he swallowed it.

The growth rate is a little higher, but it is not at all comparable to the effect brought by the insect molting.

Su Yan gradually understood: "Even the refined insects have their own habits. If they consume the right resources, they will grow faster. But if I calculate it this way, the more I raise, the more resources I will need."

He couldn't help but frown slightly, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.

"Li Feiyu, who kills and sets fires, is admired by thousands of people. He is willing to sacrifice his skin and do it with his dirty hands. If he has resources, then isn't it..."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he dismissed it. He had not yet reached the depths of the barren mountains, so even if he had a vest, it would be difficult to find it.

To accumulate food, one must wait until he becomes king; to become rich, one must raise insects.
With his current strength, combined with the tiger demon's soft armor and jade armor skills, as well as the minor success of the poisonous dragon's golden body skill and the completion of the stone embryo of the golden ape's jade body skill, he also had a small foundation for success.

With such stacked armor, even a Blood Moving Realm cultivator would find it difficult to kill him.

With the help of the White Bone Poison Centipede, even those at the Blood Moving Realm can fight.

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head: "Let's be more cautious. When we enter the desolate mountains, we should first transform the Velvet Fire Scorpion Worm once, and then let the Jade Beetle enter a little bit. This way we can be more stable."

With a plan in mind, Su Yan took back the jade beetle and the poisonous stem of the Yuan snake.

It was almost time now. The team should set off soon without any delay. Once they arrived at the Golden Ape Village and received their missions, and entered the barren mountains, they would be free to do whatever they wanted.

However, when he was putting away his things, the blood-strengthening powder gave him a slight pause.

This thing was bought just as a cover, but what he said at the time was indeed true.

His ability to identify medicines allowed him to clearly sense that the substance in the blood-strengthening powder was somewhat similar to the essence of his condensed beast blood, and was not like ordinary blood.

"Forget it, I'll take a look when I have a chance."

He threw the blood-strengthening powder into the insect world and ignored it for the time being, although the blood-strengthening powder had a slightly better effect.

But it is also limited, and he has no intention to study it for the time being.

When I left the room and came to the courtyard of the branch library, everyone had already gathered.

Apart from the guards, there were no other changes. The inner disciples all had a new weapon to a certain extent.

Dian Jing replaced his hardwood bow with a fine steel longbow, and carried a mountain-splitting steel knife on his waist.

Not all the other disciples were good at archery, but they could still use a sharp knife or a spear.

Li Jinshan looked serious as he strode over and glanced at them: "Everyone, cheer up and set off."

Su Yan keenly noticed that Li Jinshan was completely different from the relaxed look he had been an hour ago. This was not because he was acting like a senior brother with a stern face, but because he had really encountered something.

"Senior Brother Gao, what's going on?"

Unable to tell what was going on, Su Yan rode his scaly horse quietly to Gao Zheng's side, lowering his voice so that only the two of them could hear.

Gao Zheng glanced at Li Jinshan cautiously and whispered, "This has gotten out of hand. Xiaoshan Guild's headmaster, Gu Hong, lost an arm last night. The poison has destroyed his foundation. Even if he recovers, he won't be able to break through to the Yang Yuan realm for three to five years. Xiaoshan Guild's chief steward, Gu Changfeng, only has this one son. How can he let this go?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. So this is what happened.

"Are they going to take action?"

Gao Zheng shook his head: "It's impossible to fight openly, but they have already started to make subtle moves. I'm afraid someone will attack the disciples of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School, especially in the barren mountains."

The Xiaoshan Society and the Seven Swords Martial Arts School attempted to plot against the Golden Ape Martial Arts School but failed and ended up suffering a heavy loss.

Someone in the martial arts world has already put a hidden bounty on the head of a disciple from the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. I'm afraid that many martial artists and ghostwriters are tempted.

The desolate mountain is a battlefield where killing people and stealing treasures are commonplace. Now that a head can be exchanged for more silver, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Now, as long as you leave the Golden Ape Martial Arts School’s sphere of influence in the barren mountains, you will inevitably be targeted.

Su Yan's eyes flickered, but he suddenly felt that it was not that simple.

Just to avenge his son, how could he go to such lengths to kill the group of people last night?
Since Gu Changfeng is about to break through the realm of true artistic conception, how could he not be able to do this?
"Hmph, the more you move, the more you think. I'm afraid you have other intentions. But it has nothing to do with me. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up."
