The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 311 The sea is open to all rivers
Su Yan spread the news of the search for the alien insects through the Sacred Insect Path, and at the same time, he issued a bounty on the Beast King Sect's front line.

A reward of one million gold coins would tempt even a martial artist at the Danqiao realm.

The resources Su Yan obtained from the war, including the Yuan Stones and the Yuan Stones continuously gathered from the Sacred Insect Path, made him an absolute tycoon.

Taking the Dharma Aspect Realm True Person as an example, some Dharma Aspect Realm True Persons probably don't even have as many resources as him.

Moreover, what's even more enticing isn't just the spirit stones, but also Su Yan's alchemy skills, which are gradually becoming known.

Blood Refining Golden Pill, Dragon Scale Body Condensation Pill, Spirit Condensation Golden Pill, and Aperture Planting Pill—each one is among the most difficult to refine in the third-tier pill category.

Su Yan is not only skilled in refining pills, but his pills are also likely to reach the level of super-grade pills, which makes his pills famous throughout the Beast King Sect.

Initially, only a handful of people, such as Long Qiushui, Xiang Ge, and Yuan Hong, knew about this skill. However, as time went on, Su Yan also managed to sell some of the pills through trade.

Therefore, his reputation grew louder and louder, especially a month after he returned to the Beast King Sect.

For a full period of time, Su Yan used his Young Sect Master token to directly enter the two important sect sites, the Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Pavilion, and used his powerful Insect Sense Seed to memorize most of the books inside.

Furthermore, he continuously refined his alchemy and weapon-forging skills, achieving a state of perpetual mastery. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, which had been enhanced by obtaining the Insect Lord's bloodline and the constant strengthening of the Insect Essence, he became exceptionally gifted.

Su Yan made rapid progress in both weapon crafting and alchemy, with each day's advancement astonishing the Dharma Elders guarding the Alchemy Pavilion and Weapon Crafting Pavilion.

The reason he used his privileges to learn these two things first wasn't because he was bored, but because before he could mobilize a large number of resources, he had to first learn how to use them.

The higher the level of the resource, the more likely it is to be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, and martial arts training, aside from serving as a substitute for the ferocious insects it feeds on.

The latter methods all require stronger control and application skills.

Su Yan was severely injured by the ferocious insects. Even though he had received a lot of blood essence from the warriors on the battlefield, the Devouring Soldier Moth, the Eating Dragon Insect, and the Blood Bone Centipede King were still in a state of serious injury.

To speed up the recovery of the ferocious insect, more healing items are needed.

The third-grade superior healing pill – Seven Star Rejuvenation Pill.

And a fourth-grade low-level elixir—the Nine-Turn Jade Purity Golden Pill

Both types of pills are considered holy medicines for healing, but the methods of refining them are extremely difficult. The harshness of the rare and precious ingredients is removed, and they are then combined through nine cycles of refining. Dozens of pills are brought together into one batch of pills, and the difficulty involved is unimaginable.

Su Yan improved his alchemy skills in preparation for these two things.

This preparation took more than a month.

Two kinds of pills have been made. The fourth-grade pill, Nine-Turn Jade Purity Golden Pill, was directly given to the three-headed ferocious insect. After the three golden pills were taken, they were combined with the original source of the ferocious insect cauldron to save it.

Su Yan's three-headed ferocious insect finally awoke and regained its original strength.

Su Yan gave away most of the extra Seven-Star Rejuvenation Pills and Nine-Turn Jade Purity Golden Pills to the Beast King Sect.

In the midst of the great battle, both the Dharma Aspect and the Dan Aperture were injured. If they were to slowly recover, it would probably take several months for them to improve.

Some injuries cannot be healed simply by resting.

The alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion had already heated their alchemy furnaces until they were smoking.

However, low-level pills are easy to make, while higher-level pills are more difficult to refine.

Su Yan's pills were a timely help; they were immediately sold out as soon as they were handed over to the sect.

Elder Deng Rongqiu of the Alchemy Pavilion, and Elder Kuang Shuze, who was in charge, had their eyes light up when they saw this batch of pills, as if they had seen their own maternal uncles.

Su Yan's reputation was spread by the two of them, making him the number one alchemist of the Beast King Sect.

A prodigy who, with the cultivation of a Danqiao Realm martial artist, advanced to become a fourth-tier alchemist.

As Su Yan's reputation spread further and further, more and more people reciprocated his kindness, and news of the alien insects continued to arrive. However, there were some things that Su Yan could not accept.

"Black-scaled worms, red-horned worms, firefly maggots..."

Su Yan frowned slightly. Before him, the spirit insects and strange insects were all sealed in a container. Through the translucent porcelain-like shell, he could clearly see black insects covered with beveled scales, arthropods with red horns like jade, fleshy insects emitting ghostly blue flames, and other strange insects crashing against the barrier.

Those sent to him were at least mid-tier second-order alien insects, and most of them possessed third-order bloodlines, which was quite impressive.

As a contracted beast for an ordinary disciple, it is an extremely suitable natal contracted beast.

However, for Su Yan, it was still a little lacking.

"A second-tier alien insect with a third-tier bloodline, it will require a long period of nurturing to break through, and the search for the molting material will also be a distraction..."

The Ferocious Insect Cauldron can contract with thousands of insects, but it requires a great deal of time and resources to grow.

"If we don't make it into the first echelon, we can keep it as a reserve force, let the Holy Insect Path nurture it slowly, and when it's time for transformation, we can collect the materials for transformation and construct my ferocious insect universe."

Su Yan's eyes narrowed, revealing a confident expression, and the sealing container of the thirteen kinds of alien insects in front of him was instantly shattered by him.

With a snapping sound, the moment the alien insects appeared, they revealed their ferocity. An ordinary person would probably have been attacked by them at that moment.

However, as soon as Su Yan revealed his Insect Lord bloodline and suppressed it, they became obedient the next moment, as if all their power had been drained, and lay prostrate on the floor tiles.

With a mere thought, Su Yan caused the Ferocious Insect Cauldron to tremble slightly, and thirteen blood lines flew to the alien insects, enveloping them in thirteen blood cocoons.

Behind him, a scarlet phantom appeared, with true essence, divine thought, and blood qi intertwined, forming a star map in the hall.

The Ferocious Insect Cauldron settled in the central palace, and stars throughout the universe revolved around it one by one. The closer the stars, the more solid they became. The nearest stars were not even circular, but rather Su Yan's true essence revolved around the Ferocious Insect Cauldron like constellations.

Extending outwards, the newly contracted alien insects are slowly forming stars, merging into the entire star map.

At this moment, Su Yan's aura had become even stronger. In the past month, with the help of the Seed Aperture Pill and his own vast true essence, he had already completed 365 star apertures and entered a completely different star map realm.

The star map is the sea of ​​stars, and one step leads to the end.

And this star map is called the Ferocious Insect Universe.

With the Zerg Contract, the panel in front of Su Yan also underwent a significant change.

[Tier 4 Insect Lord: 50,000/100,000]

[Danqiao Realm Star Chart 100/200 (Minor Success)]

【Characteristics: Insect-like body, Seed of Insect Consciousness, Gift of Bloodline】

[Insect Realm Space: 10 cubic meters]

……

[Blood Bone Centipede King: 78/100 (Newborn Stage)]

【Mega Lava Scorpion: 151/200 (Growth Stage)】

[Divine Locust: 125/200 (Growth Stage)] [Star Shadow Spider: 21/200 (Growth Stage)]

【Soldier-Devouring Moth: 155/400 (Mature)】

[Rock Ant Queen: 0/4 (Evolution Stage)]

【Eating Dragon Beetle: 178/200 (Growth Stage)】

【Wind and Thunder Insect: 21/200 (Growth Stage)】

……

With the Rock Demon Ant Queen entering its metamorphosis period, and the remaining major ferocious insects making considerable progress, along with the newly contracted second team of ferocious insects, Su Yan has already accumulated more than half of his Insect Lord level experience.

Streams of insect essence surged from the bodies of the black-scaled insects. Su Yan could feel that the three major characteristics were constantly strengthening, especially the insect master's bloodline. Although it was only a slight change in the bloodline, the effort made his aura more profound and mysterious.

Su Yan's lips curled up slightly, finally revealing a smile: "Although we are not the first team of combat power, at this rate, we may be able to advance the Insect Lord's level to level five even faster."

The idea of ​​contracting the sacred insect path and then entrusting it to them for sustenance might be a very good one.

After tidying up briefly, Su Yan stood up and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Beast King Peak.

He landed in front of the Sect Affairs Pavilion on Beast King Peak. Upon seeing him through the stream of light, the crowd immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Elder Su Yan."

Everyone looked at him with reverence and fervor. During his practice, Su Yan had created pills that saved countless lives.

If one could establish countless Buddhas in every household and gather faith for cultivation, Su Yan would probably be able to break through to the Dharma Aspect level in such a short time.

"No need for formalities, you may all go about your business."

Su Yan waved for everyone to stand up. He took a step forward, his figure like a dream, and in an instant he was already deep inside the Zongwu Pavilion.

Deep within the Zongwu Pavilion, the lights were bright. Behind the towering building was a massive bronze gate, the two doors of which were a combined width of thirty meters, a height of ten meters, and a weight of over a million tons.

On it, animal patterns flow and move around from time to time, revealing a fierce look, as if pouncing on prey.

This is the Beast King Sect's storehouse. The bronze gate is protected by powerful spirit-sealing and restriction mechanisms, strong enough to withstand attacks from a Great Completion Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

"I, Qiu Yutang, greet the young sect master."

The old man, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the bronze gate, immediately stood up and bowed slightly when he saw Su Yan arrive.

"Elder, there's no need for that."

Su Yan reached out and helped him up. Qiu Yutang had white hair like silver threads and an old face. He was already eight hundred years old and was close to the life limit of a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist.

Qiu Yutang was extremely old, and his strength was among the top in the Beast King Sect. As a martial artist at the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, ordinary people simply could not break in.

This is why Su Yan was so respectful to him.

Qiu Yutang said solemnly, “Young Sect Master has made tremendous contributions, yet he did not squander the resources of this treasury. He took 137 third-grade spiritual herbs and 13 fourth-grade spiritual herbs, and refined them all into healing pills, saving countless disciples of our sect. I am not as good as you, and this bow is worthy of your respect.”

Qiu Yutang knew his identity and his authority.

Even if Su Yan emptied the treasury to strengthen himself, there was nothing that could be said, after all, he was the sect's future chosen by Qiu Weifeng and Chu Qidao, both Golden Body Realm cultivators.

However, he never expected that the materials Su Yan took from the treasury last time were actually for refining healing pills for everyone.

Regardless of their motives, their mindset alone is impressive enough.

Su Yan said, "Elder Qiu, you flatter me. I came here for my own sake. I need to find fourth-tier spirit metal and some other materials."

"Young Sect Master, please feel free to do as you please."

Qiu Yutang opened the bronze door's protective barrier, and a crack slowly appeared in the massive bronze door.

As soon as Su Yan entered, he felt the suppression of the aura from all directions. With his Danqiao Star Chart cultivation, he was suppressed to the True Intent Realm True Essence level, but his physical body remained unchanged. Such a method was truly miraculous.

This wasn't his first time here; he went straight to where the spirit gold was.

"Green Dragon Gold, Nine Yin Profound Gold, Myriad Bones Wood..."

Su Yan immediately found three or four kinds of mid-grade fourth-order spirit metals, each of which was priceless.

This was the material he was preparing for the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower. The Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower had been refined for some time, absorbing countless true essences and blood essences, accumulating immense power. It was already capable of activating the power of the dragon spine and the wisp of the Dao soldier's original essence within it, allowing it to advance to the next level.

In terms of weapon crafting, the Beast King Sect was indeed a major sect, and its preparations were quite complete. Su Yan completed his first goal in no time.

Before long, he turned his gaze to the Rock Demon Ant Queen.

[Rock Ant Queen: 0/4 (Evolution Stage)]

[Transformed Items: Lingzhi Mushroom, Jade Phoenix Earth Pearl, Vajra Bodhi Gold, Dragon Scale Ant King]

There are four types of transformation items, all of which are third-tier high-grade or even third-tier top-grade materials.

If one were outside, such materials would be sufficient to forge a natal spiritual weapon for a martial artist at the Danqiao realm, as they are controlled cultivation materials.

It would probably take Su Yan quite a while to collect them all, but not here.

He had gathered all the materials in less than half an hour, except for a live dragon-scale ant king.

"There is a Dragon Scale Ant King in the Hengwu Mountains. This information was given to me by Senior Brother Zhao from Fuyue Peak. It should be true. It's a good opportunity to go down the mountain."

Su Yan spared no effort in seeking information about the alien insects, especially their molted forms, at great expense.

Zhao Chongshan of Fuyue Peak told him the news in exchange for a third-tier pill. Meanwhile, Su Yan had already ordered the disciples of the Sacred Insect Path to go and search for it.

Although only two or three days had passed, Nangong Hongyue had already sent word that she had found the scales, confirming that dragon scale ants must exist in the Hengwu Mountains.

Upon receiving this news, Su Yan directly took the other molted remains of the Rock Demon Ant Queen.

After leaving the treasury and bidding farewell to Qiu Yutang, Su Yan headed straight for the location of Ten Thousand Insect Peak.

Upon arrival, I summoned the Rock Demon Ant Queen and tossed the molted creature in front of it: "Eat up, and I'll take you to find the Dragon Scale Ant King after you're done."

When the Rock Demon Ant Queen saw the molted creatures appear in front of her, she showed no mercy and devoured them with her guillotines, which resembled guillotines. In the blink of an eye, all three molted creatures had been completely swallowed by her.

A powerful aura continued to rise and become increasingly rounded, giving the feeling of having pieces of a jigsaw puzzle put together by hand, revealing the comforting sensation of the gradually completed pattern.

The Rock Demon Queen's aura intensified after she digested the molted remains.

A clear, cold voice rang out, tinged with curiosity and surprise: "This is the power of the Giant Spirit Insect Body. Its transformation is in no way inferior, and it is only one step away from transformation."
