The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 244 Qiu Weifeng

The old man was robust, dressed in gray armor, with his white hair falling loosely behind him like a pile of withered branches.

His gaze swept over the entrance to the Water and Fire Secret Realm, and his voice immediately rang out: "Chu Qidao, come in. It seems your cultivation level has escaped my notice?"

"Disciple Chu Qidao greets the Supreme Elder."

Chu Qidao appeared, his long robe fluttering in the wind, a faint smile on his face.

"There's no need for that. You are the sect leader of my sect, and I am just an old man who is about to die."

Qiu Weifeng shook his head slightly, then asked, "Which lineage does Su Yan belong to?"

"The lineage of Guicang Valley has become disciples of the ancient three thousand disciples."

Qiu Weifeng frowned slightly and pondered, "That kid Gu Sanqian..."

Qiu Weifeng had a deep impression of the Gu Sanqian lineage, as the three outstanding members of the family all had the potential to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

It's a pity that Wang Xuanxing wanted too much, which dragged him down to the Danqiao Realm. Even though the sect tried to find longevity-extending elixirs, he ultimately couldn't cross that threshold.

It's possible that it's Poison Dragon Taoist Tai Lingyue, but once he leaves for the West, he might not be able to return.

"My Beast King Sect was once so powerful and prestigious, but now only this old codger is left."

Qiu Weifeng sighed: "You've reached the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect realm, haven't you, since you're at the ninth level now?"

Chu Qidao nodded: "Peak of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, but still a bit short of breaking through to the ninth level."

"By integrating all methods, one can forge a golden body; this cannot be rushed."

Qiu Weifeng said, "Your Water-Fire Tenglong is only a fourth-order Calamity Beast. Its inner core is not yet complete, and its divine soul has not reached its peak. Continue to hone your skills. Ancestor can hold on for a while longer."

The massive Water-Fire Scale Lion appeared behind the Floating Mountain, its enormous form comparable to a mountain, its eyes a mix of red and black, and it fixed its gaze on Chu Qidao.

Its hoarse voice came: "If I were to return to the source and give my essence to the Water and Fire Dragon, it would be fine. Before long, you and the Water and Fire Dragon will both be able to break through to the fifth rank. But I'm afraid the demonic path will not give us the chance."

Qiu Weifeng's eyes turned cold, revealing his murderous intent: "Do you really think I'm afraid of them? If it weren't for the Undying Mountain Secret Realm being tricked, my Beast King Sect Martial Saint would have been enough to wipe out the demonic disciples of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

There is a large tomb in the mountains, where an immortal immortal is hidden.

The legend of the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm has been circulating in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for countless tens of thousands of years.

It was originally just a legend, but unexpectedly one day the Immortal Mountain appeared directly in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The tremors shook Lingnan, affecting not only Lingnan Prefecture but also almost all eleven prefectures of the Dali Dynasty. Countless tribes and powerful figures from the demonic path flocked to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Back then, the fighting was truly fierce and chaotic. Some people would stop at nothing to seize the treasures of the Immortal Mountain.

The Beast King Sect, located in Lingnan Prefecture, was the undisputed overlord.

Led by the Lion King Martial Saint, they headed straight for the Immortal Mountain.

Unexpectedly, after several chaotic battles, the Immortal Mountain burst forth with countless rays of light, drawing everyone into the fray.

Few survived. Even Emperor Li Tian of the Dali Dynasty, who gathered the power of three terrestrial immortals—Lu Yu of the Dayan Dao Sect and Liu Ruo, the White-Clad Sword Demon of the Changsheng Pavilion—came to seek the Immortal Mountain of Immortality.

Unexpectedly, despite their combined efforts and months of searching, they found no trace of the target.

After that battle, Lingnan Prefecture became weak.

The Nine Peaks Sect, the Sword One Sect, the Three Flames Divine Palace, and other sects all gradually grew up from that time.

"Elder Qiu, things are different now."

Chu Qidao shook his head slightly: "The demonic path is stirring up trouble, just to test our strength. A chaotic battle is about to break out at the Hundred Peaks Barrier, which will probably force the elders to take action."

A battle at the Golden Body Realm is no casual affair.

Sometimes, the slightest difference can determine the outcome of a game.

Therefore, both the Beast King Sect and the Demonic Sect would try to force the other to reveal themselves first, testing their strength.

"drag"

Qiu Weifeng narrowed his eyes: "Drag it out until you can break through, drag it out until that kid grows up."

Chu Qidao's eyes narrowed slightly: "That kid seems to be collecting the medicinal materials for the Seed Aperture Pill."

"Then let's find an opportunity to give him some more."

……

Su Yan emerged from the Water and Fire Secret Realm and rode the Six-Winged Blood Centipede back to his Ten Thousand Insect Peak.

As soon as I landed, I saw two skylarks perched on the eaves of my cave dwelling.

"whoosh"

A lark flew over, and Su Yan reached out and caught it, taking the information from its body.

"Reply from the Border - Xia Wan'er, Lan Yunyue"

Su Yan took out the Qi and Blood Pill, fed it to the two Cloud-Piercing Sparrows, and then said, "Inform your master."

After consuming the Qi and Blood Pill, the two cloud-piercing larks immediately took flight and flew directly outside.

Not long after, Xia Wan'er and Lan Yunyue arrived hand in hand.

Upon meeting, Su Yan was immediately given a disapproving look by Xia Wan'er.

"You broke through quietly, junior brother, you're really amazing."

Both of them were still at the half-step Danqiao level, while Su Yan's aura was already as deep as abyss, which was quite different.

"If you wanted to break through, wouldn't it be effortless for you?"

Lan Yunyue shook her head slightly: "The accumulation of true essence is still insufficient. If we break through rashly, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the fourth level of Golden Core."

"Qi Yufei broke through, but he failed to achieve the third stage of Golden Core. He was too impatient."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "Who on the Tiger Ranking has broken through?"

"Yuan Yi has broken through, but no one knows how many stages of his cultivation he has reached. Given his Greedy Wolf Body physique and years of accumulation, he is probably at least at the fourth or fifth stage. Zhao Mingcheng and Suo Yunyi are still holding back, but they will be here soon."

Among the Tiger List disciples, there are quite a few who are at the half-step Danqiao or the perfected Shenhe realm.

Those who emerged from the Blood Dragon Secret Realm all gained numerous benefits and naturally completed their breakthroughs one after another.

Not everyone is like Su Yan and the others, who insist on achieving the Nine Revolutions of the Elixir and paving the way first.

For some people, just finding the path is hard enough, so they break through first and then seek further progress.

"In that case, the Tiger List will be lively again soon."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. How many kinds of materials for the Aperture Pills have you obtained?"

"Two batches of medicinal herbs, excluding the Spirit Aperture Enlightenment Fruit."

Xia Wan'er took out all the medicinal herbs from her storage ring, arranging them neatly in various sizes.

In order to break through, Xia Wan'er mobilized all her connections this month, and many things were traded from familiar senior brothers and sisters.

Lan Yunyue then released the ingredients for three batches of Seed Aperture Pills: "I have one more batch of pills than Junior Sister Xia."

"Five Furnaces"

Su Yan nodded slightly: "You all help me look after the mountain peak, I'll go and refine the Seed Aperture Pill."

Su Yan entered the main hall without any attempt at concealment, took out the alchemy furnace, and the Flame Armored Scorpion appeared beside him.

The Flame Armored Scorpion stayed with him in the Water and Fire Secret Realm for a full month, and its demonic fire had been constantly tempered, reaching a new level.

Su Yan gave a slight order, and the demonic fire spewed out by the Flame Armored Scorpion enveloped the entire alchemy furnace. "The materials given by Xia Wan'er and Lan Yunyue are enough to refine five furnaces, and with the medicinal herbs from Ancestor Bai Cang, let's just refine eight furnaces at once."

Su Yan poured the medicinal herbs into the process, gradually immersing himself in alchemy.

For three days and three nights, the fragrance of cinnabar continuously wafted from the main hall.

Xia Wan'er and Lan Yunyue were both dumbfounded by this spectacle.

If the fragrance of elixir lingers, it means that a batch of elixir for cultivating the essence has been successfully produced.

The fact that the fragrance of elixir appeared eight times in a row truly frightened them.

"Senior Sister Lan, do you think Junior Brother Su is even human?"

Xia Wan'er's expression was subtle; she was just short of calling him a demon.

Lan Yunyue sighed: "That must be why he's so powerful."

As the two were talking, the main entrance to the hall was pushed open.

Su Yan strode over, took out two jade bottles from his hands, and placed them in front of the two people.

"Senior Sister Xia has three, Senior Sister Lan has four, and the extra one was bought in Nantianfu City."

The two were taken aback, and Xia Wan'er smiled brightly: "It's rare that you still remember, thank you very much."

"Thank you, junior brother."

The three continued exchanging pleasantries, but Xia Wan'er and Lan Yunyue were already eager to return home.

This is crucial for them to solidify their foundation and break through to the Danqiao Realm.

I've already waited a month. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll still be a True Intent Realm Martial Artist when a real battle comes. How embarrassing would that be?

As soon as the two left, Su Yan immediately began to check his spoils.

He refined pills in eight batches, with an average of four pills produced per batch, for a total of thirty-two pills. Seven pills were given to the two men, and the remaining twenty-five were his own.

"Twenty-five acupoints, I don't know how much the physical body can withstand."

Su Yan sat cross-legged in front of the hall and swallowed the elixir.

The powerful medicinal force rushed into his meridians instantly, like a raging flood.

He slightly raised his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise, and thought to himself, "It doesn't hurt that much, so my physical body is strong enough."

As Su Yan consumed the pills one by one, acupoints resembling small dantians were opened up along his meridians. True essence surged continuously, attempting to break through the middle dantian and help Su Yan achieve the second level of dantian acupoints.

However, he was not tempted at all and continued to swallow the Seed Aperture Pill.

Two, three, four, five...

The pain intensified, and even with his physically trained body, Su Yan's face was flushed, veins bulging, and his meridians felt as if they were being slashed by thousands of sharp blades.

As the number of acupoints increases, the difficulty of opening the next acupoint also increases.

Su Yan had already consumed 18 Seed-Planting Pills. The fact that he had consumed so many in such a short time, and that all of them had been successfully implanted, suggests that the pressure within his body was incredibly intense.

boom

A dragon's roar and a tiger's howl resounded from his body. Su Yan suddenly opened his eyes and felt that his senses were sharper and his perception was more acute. The true essence in his body was being continuously compressed by him.

Su Yan stretched his body completely before saying, "There are seven pills left. It's inconvenient to take them in the short term, but we can go out now."

Su Yan kept his word. After a brief rest, he transformed into a rainbow and headed straight for the Zongwu Pavilion.

Five of the seven Seed Aperture Pills have been released. Anyone who provides information about the Netherworld Spirit Flame, the Netherworld Centipede King, and the Blazing Purple Scorpion can obtain one Seed Aperture Pill.

If the Fire Seed can be captured alive, then two Seed-Growing Pills will be directly awarded as a reward.

As soon as the news came out, all the disciples of the Beast King Sect were attracted to come over.

This is a third-tier pill; countless people want it.

try to find!
Everyone had the same thought: they had to find clues to the three things mentioned above.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yan remained calm and collected, waiting to see who had more clues.

"Senior brother, I want to switch to the Ghostly Flame."

On Wanchong Peak, a disciple secretly came to the mountain to request an audience.

Upon meeting, the disciple, whose face was sallow, immediately took out a small box.

A cold aura emanated from the box, and Su Yan's eyes lit up as he reached out and grabbed the box.

The box was covered with array patterns, and a cold aura kept emanating from it.

Su Yan opened the box directly, and instantly a white flame shot into the sky, attempting to escape the scene.

With a flick of his finger, the Flame Armored Scorpion appeared instantly, its tail hook piercing through the flames before slowly devouring them.

"That's right, it's the Ghostly Flame."

Su Yan gave the disciple two Seed Aperture Pills and ordered the Black Horned Giant Eagle to take him down to the mountains.

He stood with his hands behind his back: "Now all that's missing are the Netherworld Centipede King and the Blazing Purple Scorpion."

Materials can be traded, but wild beasts are not so easy to find.

After waiting for another seven days, Xia Wan'er was the first to break through. The process of forming the core lasted for three whole days, and it was unknown how many cycles she had broken through.

Everyone only knew that with such a life-and-death situation and the gathering of spiritual energy, the quality of the golden core was probably not much worse than that of Yuan Yi's.

Lan Yunyue followed closely behind, and within a few days she also joined the ranks of those who broke through.

The entire mountain was shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding an ethereal aura. Lan Yunyue continuously drew in spiritual energy to condense it into her elixir, and this continued for several days before gradually subsiding.

As everyone broke through to new heights, Su Yan tempered his body, making his internal true essence as tough as steel, while waiting for news of the two third-tier wild beasts.

Suddenly one day, a piece of news spread rapidly throughout the Beast King Sect.

The Beast King Sect's mountain-protecting army annihilated the remnants of the Demonic Cult, almost completely eradicating their colluding forces.

Yuan Ye provided a complete list, but this also made Yan Ying's people realize that they were being watched.

They went all out and directly formed a Heavenly Mandate Sect around three mysterious Dharma Aspect True Persons.

"Dragon Ranking disciples, Tiger Ranking disciples, heed my command! The demonic forces are wreaking havoc. A group of rogue martial artists and cultivators have gathered in the territory of Lishan County to form the Heavenly Mandate Sect. All disciples, proceed immediately to kill the demonic forces."

The token directly transmits a message; this is not a reminder, but a disciple's task.

The Tiger Ranking disciples and Dragon Ranking disciples enjoy the most sect resources, so in the current situation, it is natural to ask them to come out and do things for the sect.

"Three True Manifestations"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and rode the six-winged blood centipede straight towards the Nine Stele Spirit Platform.

The disciples had already gathered here, and Su Yan recognized the two leaders, Hu Yangming and Gu Sanqian.

The two smiled when they saw Su Yan arrive.

Once everyone had stopped, Su Yan noticed that Yuan Yi, Suo Yunyi, Zhao Mingcheng, Qi Yufei, and other disciples had all arrived, along with many inner disciples on the Tiger Ranking who had not yet reached the Dan Aperture stage.

In just a short while, hundreds of people had already filled the area.

Three black shadows streaked across the sky above the Nine Stele Spirit Platform, and the Cloud Beast Boat hovered above everyone's heads, with the Mountain Guardians already positioned on it.

Gu Sanqian stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Lishan County has fallen, and tens of thousands of people have suffered. The Heavenly Mandate Cult has already rampaged through the surrounding counties. If you encounter any members of the Heavenly Mandate Cult or any demonic cultivators on your journey, leave no one alive. Do you understand?"
