The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 76 Special Kitchen
The village on Jinyuan Mountain.

About half a month had passed since the day Li Chuan warned his disciples.

The teams that went into the mountains returned one after another, and some even went out again after returning to the mountains.

Only Su Yan, who was traveling alone that day, had no news.

"Xun Shan, that kid hasn't returned for half a month. He really doesn't know whether to live or die. Gao Zheng, according to what you said, which mountain might he go to?"

Li Chuan suppressed his anger and his face was gloomy. That kid was so arrogant that he insisted on going into the mountains alone. He hadn't heard from him for half a month and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"It should be in the barren hills around Luoyue Mountain. I'll organize some people right away."

Lu Ling watched coldly, only smiling faintly, and said, "Elder, I don't think this matter can be rushed. Lately, those scumbags have been spying on the mountain roads leading in and out of our Golden Ape Martial Arts School. There are also packs of gray thorn wolves on Wolf Peak, constantly invading. How can we organize people to search the mountain?"

Li Chuan's face turned grim. Li Jinshan said in a deep voice, "Su Yan is the most talented disciple in recent years. If he makes a mistake, it will be our loss."

"But what about the disciples?"

Lu Ling asked back, "It's not like you haven't heard what those disciples said recently."

There have long been rumors among the disciples that Su Yan is not very capable but has a bad temper. He has not been heard from for half a month and must have died in the desolate mountains.

Although it is just a rumor, if we really send everyone to search the mountain, I am afraid it will really become a complaint.

There was a stalemate for a while, and Gao Zheng wanted to argue, but he was only able to do so because he had the best relationship with Su Yan and might know where he was going.

The real decision makers are Li Chuan and his two true disciples.

At this time, outside the door, the disciples in the upper camp had already been instigated.

"I heard that the elders intend for us to search the mountain to find Su Yan."

"What? Why would we waste so much time and energy searching for someone in such a dangerous deserted mountain? He was just being stubborn, it's not like anything happened to the team."

Li Shun, Zhou Hui and others, under Lu Ling's instructions, shouted the loudest.

The crowd gathered a little, and someone hiding behind the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Because of his relationship with the eldest brother."

“Who is fanning the flames?”

At this moment, someone started cursing loudly and glanced at everyone, but no one knew who had said that.

Some people were naturally indignant at this behavior, but they simply said, "Once you enter the desolate mountains, life and death are your own business. If you really were in danger, it would be fine for your fellow disciples to help you, but leaving everything behind to save him is wrong."

"Indeed, we haven't heard from him for half a month. He's not carrying blood, so how could he..."

Li Shun and Zhou Hui looked at each other and knew that their goal had been achieved.

No one cares whether Su Yan lives or dies, but this will make everyone feel that the eldest brother is unfair, which is good for Lu Ling.

Dong dong dong

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard and a guard rushed over.

"Su Yan is back!"

Everyone was shocked, even the three people who were discussing in the room rushed out.

I walked quickly out of the lower village and saw from afar a tall horned boar on the dirt road, approaching the village step by step.

Su Yan sat on the horned pig. Behind the horned pig was a simple cart made of logs and vines. It had no wheels and was dragged over directly.

Everyone looked closely and saw that there were a lot of things tied up on the trailer.

There was a giant bear with black claws that was over ten feet tall, a red tiger with a naked body, and a unicorn-horned deer with ferocious horns. Behind these three giants were many wild beast skins and bones.

嘶

Everyone gasped, and Gao Zheng strode forward: "You... next time, don't let anyone leave."

He kept saying "you" in his mouth for a long time before finally uttering these words.

Su Yan jumped down and stood in front of everyone. He glanced around and saw that everyone had different expressions.

"We hunted too many wild beasts, and it was hard to bring them back, so we trained a horned pig to help."

Li Shun and his companions almost gnashed their teeth to pieces. What did they mean by "hunting too much"? The black-clawed bear, the red-bodied tiger, and the unicorn-horned deer, which one of them was not a first-level intermediate wild beast, equivalent to the tendon and bone realm, or even the great tendon and bone realm?

And he also trained the horned pig?

Is this something that ordinary people can do?

"Junior brother, you are very capable."

Lu Ling praised him out loud, and Li Chuan snorted coldly: "He hasn't returned for half a month, and there's no news. Is this how you do things?"

Su Yan felt a little guilty. Even if he was out training, he should have sent news from time to time.

Firstly, he was in a hurry and did not send a message back. Secondly, he did not expect that his whereabouts would attract so much attention.

I think someone is making a fuss about this.

"I forgot the time while tracking the wild beast. Please don't blame me, Elder Li."

"Go to the martial arts training ground to receive your punishment. Carry a 100-jin stone lock on your back and practice standing meditation."

Although they had returned with a fruitful harvest, Li Chuan's punishment shocked all the disciples.

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Disciple, I accept the punishment. Senior Brother Gao, please help me deal with some of these things and sell them all to the martial arts school."

"Gao Zheng, come and help your junior brother deal with it."

"Yes"

Li Chuan looked at Su Yan deeply. Su Yan noticed it and felt something in his heart, but he did not stop and just walked towards the martial arts training ground.

"Dian Jing, help me unload the things."

Gao Zheng held the horned pig, still afraid that it would hurt people. After all, how could this so-called taming be as safe as the Lin family's animal taming?
However, upon closer inspection, the horned pig did not resist at all, but instead lay down.

Little did he know that this horned pig was not only poisoned, but was completely controlled.

The White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Scorpion were so powerful that Chong Tiantian was suppressed by their aura and had already completely surrendered. How could he dare to resist?
Even if you kill it with a knife, it will probably not lose control and will just run away.

"What a powerful method! The wild beast was beaten to death."

Li Chuan was a careful person. While others were moving things, he went to look at the three wild beasts.

When he saw this, he was shocked. There were almost no cuts or arrow marks on his body.

Looking at the injuries again, they were clearly the injuries of the three ferocious ape styles.

Three wild beasts equivalent to the muscle and bone realm were beaten to death. Are these wild beasts and humans?

In terms of size and strength, warriors of the same level are not even close to these wild beasts.

This guy
Li Chuan's eyes flickered, and he began to cherish talent.

He also started with boxing, learned the three styles of the ferocious ape, and also had his own tiger body bone-strengthening skills and tiger-shaped boxing. Naturally, he cherished such talents even more.

After thinking for a moment, he dismissed everyone and returned to the upper camp.

Su Yan didn't stand there for long. It was over after Gao Zheng finished counting the wild beasts and medicinal herbs in the cart.

The three wild beasts and other wild beast materials are all precious things. Excluding the worthless parts, there are more than one thousand taels of silver.

Including the medicinal herbs and precious plants found, it was almost one thousand seven hundred or eight hundred taels.

Gao Zheng exchanged the banknotes for silver and sent them to him, and Li Chuan also took the opportunity to avoid the punishment.

Su Yan's gains naturally made everyone feel very complicated.

There is no other reason. Even if a team goes out alone, the harvest will be about the same.

But those profits have to be shared equally.

Although having more people means stronger fighting power, not everyone can find suitable wild beasts in the mountains as prey.

Wild beasts have certain territories, and often wild beasts of a certain level cannot be seen within several miles.

Su Yan’s strongest point is his ability to track down and chase people in the mountains.
-
The sky is dark and the moon is rising.

After what happened during the day, Su Yan was just about to take a rest when he suddenly heard rustling sounds outside the door.

His expression tensed, and he stood up straight and leaned against the door.

"After we get to the training ground."

When Li Chuan's voice came, Su Yan looked surprised.

Why did he suddenly come to see me?
Su Yan was puzzled, but still pushed the door open and went out.

It was pitch black outside the door, illuminated only by the faint light of a torch, making it look a little dim.

He quickly followed and went around to the back of the martial arts training ground. Sure enough, there was a figure standing in the darkness. It was Li Chuan.

"Elder Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Hit me with the Fierce Ape Three Styles."

Li Chuan turned around and looked at Su Yan, but his expression was not as cold as today, but his tone was still a little stiff.

Su Yan was stunned. Is this a test?

He was not polite: "I'm sorry."

The power comes from the waist, the spine is like a dragon, and the muscles all over the body are like low thunder. As the power is exerted, a punch comes.

"it is good!"

A gleam of light flashed in Li Chuan's eyes, and he shouted, attacking like a tiger.

Li Chuan did not use his full strength, nor did he use any false intentions, and fought Su Yan with every punch.

His punches were as fast as the wind, fierce and continuous, like a frightened tiger, attacking continuously.

Su Yan used the monkey boxing and the three styles of the ferocious ape to fight continuously, and he was fully focused.

"Be more ferocious, more ruthless, and bring out your fighting strength."

Su Yan's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he no longer held back. Li Chuan was willing to be his sparring partner, and the punches he exchanged were fierce and tricky, with no concealment of his techniques.

The two of them fought for a hundred rounds in the blink of an eye. Su Yan ran out of energy and blood, and was knocked away by Li Chuan's tiger pounce with a bang.

My arms were numb from the shock, and I could hardly feel anything from my forearms to my shoulders.

"Thank you, Elder, for showing mercy."

"Show no mercy."

Li Chuan was not polite at all and spoke rudely.

"The Monkey Fist at the Transcendent Realm is like an antelope hanging on a horn, three points stronger than instinct. The Three Fierce Ape Styles at the Grand Stage have already achieved minor success in strength and bones in less than half a month. The Master has found a good disciple. No wonder he asked me to teach you the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Technique."

Su Yan showed a look of surprise: "Master?"

"Yes, who else could it be if not the owner?"

Li Chuan looked as if it was a matter of course, but his eyes were full of approval when he looked at Su Yan.

Although Bai Changlin informed him to teach Su Yan the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Technique, it was just a suggestion. Whether it would be taught or not still depended on Li Chuan's test.

Although he had only met Su Yan a few times, every time he met him, he saw that his progress was extremely rapid, which was beyond his expectations.

"Your aptitude is not bad to begin with, and your comprehension is the best among the true disciples."

"Elder, I am not yet a true disciple."

"Is there any difference?"

Li Chuan glanced at him and said, "If he wasn't the master, he would have accepted you as his true disciple long ago. Why would he wait until you reached the Yang Yuan realm?"

Master and owner of the hall have two identities. There are things that need to be considered, and naturally there must be rules. If the rules are broken, the disciples will also be in chaos.

When Li Chuan thought of this, he felt a little irritated. Even if he tried to keep it as balanced as possible, he still had Lu Ling's true teachings, and he had become a faction.

"Don't interrupt."

Li Chuan glared at Su Yan, then said, "You've made rapid progress in learning martial arts techniques. So, teaching you the Tiger Body Bone Tempering Technique won't be a burden. It will strengthen your foundation and help you reach the Yang Yuan realm sooner. Now that the chaos has begun, Jinshan and the others alone can't handle it."

"I understand. I must improve myself as soon as possible and do my best for the martial arts school."

Li Chuan nodded. "You've already achieved minor success in your bones and muscles. I think your Qi and blood have been nourished, strengthening your bones and muscles and generating internal strength. If you want to achieve major success, you need to combine the strength of your bones and muscles throughout your body into one, using your spine as a giant dragon and unleashing it. Once this strength is achieved, you can control it as easily as with your arms and fingers, with ease and control of weights. That's when your bones and muscles are fully developed."

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly. Li Chuan's detailed guidance was equivalent to telling him the clear direction of his great success.

I also heard, "I will teach you the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Technique. Training your muscles and bones specifically will help you integrate your strength and achieve mastery sooner. Strong muscles and bones will boost your Qi and blood, and your Blood Movement in the third realm will be even stronger. If you can cultivate the Tiger Power, you will have the potential to break through to the Yang Yuan realm and the True Intention realm."

Li Chuan explained the key points of cultivation in detail, and also gave Su Yan some pointers on the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Technique.

The rise and fall of breathing mobilizes Qi and blood, circulating throughout the bones with the spine as the center, allowing Qi and blood to circulate throughout the body, flushing the bones and continuously strengthening them.

Practicing this tiger body bone-strengthening technique consumes a lot of energy and blood.

Su Yan only tried once or twice before his Qi and blood were quickly depleted. Fortunately, he had the supplement of the Blood Strengthening Pill, which allowed him to persevere.

Li Chuan was busy giving instructions until around three o'clock in the morning. Seeing that Su Yan had roughly memorized the instructions, he nodded and said, "You're almost there. I'll meet you here at this time tomorrow. As for the Three Fierce Ape Styles, you've already mastered them. My Tiger Form Fist and Three Fierce Ape Styles are only so-so. I can't teach you much, but at most I can give you a little help."

After the old man finished speaking, he left.

Su Yan was confused, but he was already exhausted physically and mentally, so he didn't ask too much.

I returned to my room and went to bed. When I woke up, it was already the next day.

There was no difference during the day, everyone practiced their skills, and not many people went out to practice at the same time.

In the evening, Li Chuan really brought the "little help" over.

A senior brother Gao Zheng who weighs over 100 pounds.

The old man brought Gao Zheng over and pointed at Su Yan: "Gao Zheng, show your own ability and fight with your junior brother. Even if you have the power of the Blood Moving Realm, it will be enough."

Gao Zheng was completely confused. He had had this experience before when he was training with his junior brother, but why was he fighting with his junior brother this time?

Li Chuan said, "Although you've reached the Blood Moving Realm, your Fierce Ape Three Styles, Monkey Fist, and Stance Training are only barely at the Great Mastery stage. Without integrating a few things, how can you break through this bottleneck? And your Tiger Body Bone Tempering Technique is even worse, barely reaching the Small Mastery stage. How can you cultivate the Tiger Power without fighting? Do you rely on medicine?"

After hearing this, Gao Zheng's eyes glared and he clasped his fists: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother."

Gao Zheng took action directly, and Su Yan was not polite either. He moved a Blood Realm cultivator to be his sparring partner. This was a rare opportunity.

The two men fought each other, both using all their boxing skills. Their figures were intertwined, and their punches came and went like a cluster of flowers.

Gao Zheng was indeed very powerful in the Blood Moving Realm. His strength was far greater than Su Yan's, always forcing him to defend himself with all his strength.

But Gao Zheng himself also had his own troubles. Although he had achieved great success in everything, he was still only a great success.

The hard work of grinding water and the great achievements that were achieved were not integrated at all.

This has always been his shortcoming.

Compared with Su Yan's great achievements, they make their own progress every moment. When they blend together and fight with each other, they always achieve the effect of 1+1>2.

On the night Gao Zheng came, Su Yan successfully mastered the Tiger Body Bone Strengthening Technique, and his strength became even stronger.

Su Yan was detained in the mountain stronghold by Li Chuan. Sometimes Gao Zheng came to teach him moves, and sometimes Li Jinshan was also dragged over to teach him moves.

This went on for about five or six days, and both Su Yan and Gao Zheng made great progress.

Gao Zheng gradually gained a thorough understanding of the state of transformation. Naturally, there was no such opportunity at the state of transformation, but martial arts, stance training, etc. were all integrated with each other, and there was a faint sense of momentum.

Su Yan's progress was even greater. After repeated practice, his Golden Ape Posture Skill finally took the last step, just like the Monkey Fist.

[Golden Ape Posture: Transformation]

Once he entered the state of perfection, this桩功 was integrated into Su Yan's every move. His breathing, walking, fighting, and sleeping all had the shadow of桩功.

Qi and blood are being mobilized all the time, and in a moment, the bone and muscle realm is only one step away from perfection.

Seeing this, Li Chuan was filled with emotion. This kind of understanding was truly amazing.

He calmed down and said, "The special class has ended here. It's time for you to take over now. The wolf pack at Wolf Peak has become powerful. Tomorrow you will go to Wolf Peak to help your senior sister Bai Yun and help her find the Wolf King and kill the wolf pack."
