As the text scrolled across the light screen, a vast amount of memories once again flooded Jiang Lan's mind.

This time, he found it somewhat difficult to sort through these memories.

After a while, Jiang Lan finally managed to digest these memories.

Jiang Lan's pair of emerald beast eyes lit up.

Good, good, good, the 72 Transformations of Di Sha, is it?

Jiang Lan first praised his own talent for naming.

Then he continued to sort through his memories.

However, as he sorted, Jiang Lan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He was simply divine.

Was such an amazing Divine Ability really created by him?

Compared to the True Explanation of Transformation, the 72 Transformations of Di Sha could be understood as an advanced version with absolutely no restrictions.

Just four words:

Do as one pleases.

Transform however he wanted, transform into whatever he wanted.

All those things like form and spirit were also discarded.

It was directly the body transforming into myriad things.

However, its function was merely to transform; it could not be used to enhance combat power, and it could only transform into living things.

In other words, if Jiang Lan wanted to transform into a large mountain and crush an opponent with its weight, it wouldn't work.

Moreover, the size of the transformed object also had limits.

The maximum could not exceed one zhang, and the minimum had to be half of his current body size.

Transforming into things like flies or mosquitoes was also not possible.

But even so, Jiang Lan was already very satisfied.

Because the 72 Transformations of Di Sha did not require imitating 'spirit'; it was purely a transformation.

In other words, as long as Jiang Lan had an accurate image in his mind, he could transform into anything.

With a thought, Jiang Lan's body rapidly shrunk, his fur quickly retracted into his body, and his face returned to his original appearance.

To be honest, his current mood was very excited.

He never expected that encountering a demon by chance on the roadside would yield such a great harvest.

This True Explanation of Transformation could be said to have helped him greatly.

Although he wasn't sure what the demon gathering place was like,

It was foreseeable that there would definitely be no humans there.

To say this might be a bit imprecise.

But even if there were, they would surely be a minority among minorities.

Since it was the demons' territory, demons would certainly be the mainstream.

And now, Jiang Lan could freely transform into a demon.

This alone had helped him greatly.

The language and writing spoken by demons were exactly the same as humans'.

In fact, throughout the entire Chihong Province, the same writing and language were used.

Jiang Lan had traveled to so many places and met so many demons and humans, yet he had never encountered a second language.

This way, even if he encountered certain dangerous situations that he couldn't handle, Jiang Lan could transform.

Therefore, obtaining this True Explanation of Transformation was tantamount to adding a means of self-preservation for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan looked at the System panel again... 【Name: Jiang Lan】

...Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Lan was in a great mood, humming a little tune, preparing to stay overnight in the next county town.

“Today is a good day~ a good day~”

Originally, he wanted to rush on his way, but encountering such a windfall, he had to celebrate at least.

After traveling along the main road for a while, a tall city wall appeared before Jiang Lan's eyes.

On the city wall were three large characters.

'Anling County'

It was late at night, and the city gates had long been closed, but there were a few guards on the city tower.

However, at this time, they would certainly not let Jiang Lan in.

But this was not a problem for Jiang Lan at all.

His figure flickered like a ghost, and with a few continuous flashes, he appeared directly inside the city, completely unnoticed by the guards.

However, this was normal.

Although Yue Country was slightly larger than Yan Country, it was limited, and there were not many powerful Martial Artists. Among the gate guards, only the leader was a Skin Refinement Martial Artist, the others were just ordinary people.

If Jiang Lan, a Mortal Shedding Peak expert, could be discovered by a group of ordinary people, then he wouldn't need to be in this business.

Entering the city, Jiang Lan looked around.

The city was dark; in this era, few people lit lamps at night.

However, his vision was not obstructed.

The architecture in this town was already somewhat different from Yan Country and Wu Country, mostly built with bricks and stones, and the architectural style was much rougher.

Avoiding a few watchmen beating gongs, Jiang Lan stopped in front of an Inn.

Although the Inn's door was closed, the lights inside were on, so it seemed there were people inside.

Jiang Lan reached out and knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside the Inn, but Jiang Lan could hear the breathing of the people inside quickening slightly.

Jiang Lan was not in a hurry, he just spoke softly:

“I'm here to stay.”

The breathing inside paused.

Followed by a faint sound of footsteps.

A moment later, the Inn's main door opened a crack, revealing a head wrapped in a white turban from inside.

Jiang Lan casually handed over a silver ingot, “No ill intent, just staying.”

Seeing the silver, the hesitation on the person's face inside immediately vanished, and he directly opened the main door, saying enthusiastically:

“Honored guest, please come in quickly!”

Walking into the Inn, Jiang Lan said:

“Heat a pot of wine, open a room, I'll leave tomorrow morning.”

“Alright!”

As long as there was money to be made, the Inn didn't care where Jiang Lan came from, or why he was out staying during curfew.

Jiang Lan casually found a seat and sat down.

He would go back to his room later to try out the newly learned Divine Ability, then sleep, and continue on his journey after waking up.

At this moment, he was becoming more and more impatient, wanting to quickly go to the demon gathering place.

Once he arrived, wouldn't Lifespan flow to him like water?

After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the wine and dishes. Jiang Lan ate and drank his fill, then went upstairs guided by the waiter.

Entering the room, he fiddled around for a while, experimenting with the 72 Transformations of Di Sha, before finally lying on the bed, closing his eyes, and falling into a deep sleep.
