141: It's easy to get

Hearing Liu Wei's explanation, Brother Jiang understood.

This thing was similar to a contract, but it was called a zhenwu pact.

After signing the pact and stamping it with the Zhenwu Pavilion's seal, if one party violated it, the other party could take the pact to the Zhenwu Pavilion.

Then, the Zhenwu Pavilion would relentlessly pursue the person who broke the pact.

At the same time, whoever killed the person who violated the pact would also receive a certain amount of contribution as a reward.

Although there were government offices in this world,

the local government offices could not manage Martial Artists like them, especially the powerful ones.

Let alone the government offices, even the emperor couldn't control them.

Jiang Lan was just a Mortal Shedding Martial Artist; if he said he would kill the Great Yan emperor, he would kill him.

Of course, this was because Great Yan itself was a small country.

If it were in one of the large countries Brother Jiang had seen on the map, he, a mere Mortal Shedding Martial Artist, would probably be killed by the city guards before even entering the Inner City, let alone killing the emperor.

Old Liu had once said that within Chihong Province, not only were there many Core Formation Martial Artists, but Soul Transformation Martial Artists were also not uncommon.

Since there were no powerful individuals in these small countries, the powerful individuals must all be concentrated in the few large countries in the center of Chihong Province.

"Okay," Jiang Lan agreed, "Then let's make the pact."

Jiang Lan felt that Liu Wei was simply a great person.

Not only did he give him a Cultivation Technique for free, but he also provided a clue to a Mortal Shedding demon.

Killing two birds with one stone.

If he could find anything else in that Immortal Cave, it would be killing three birds with one stone.

"Brother Jiang is straightforward."

Liu Wei immediately took out paper and a brush. After grinding the ink, he dipped the brush in the ink and wrote for a long time on the paper.

After he finished writing, Liu Wei handed the paper to Jiang Lan.

"Brother Jiang, see if there are any omissions?"

Jiang Lan took the paper and glanced at it.

The contents were consistent with what the two had discussed earlier.

Liu Wei would give Jiang Lan a Cultivation Technique, and they would go to the Immortal Cave together.

Jiang Lan needed to work with Liu Wei to kill the demons near the Immortal Cave and explore the Immortal Cave.

If there were any gains afterward, the two would split them fifty-fifty.

Jiang Lan read it once; there were no problems.

Liu Wei was weaker than him, but he knew about the Immortal Cave first, so splitting the gains fifty-fifty was reasonable.

But this was only on the surface.

In reality, the benefits Liu Wei could obtain were only half of the unknown ancestral Legacy relics, if they even existed.

On the other hand, Jiang Lan...

Not only did he get a Cultivation Technique, but he could also gain Lifespan from killing demons.

The unknown Legacy, to him, was the least important thing.

So what seemed like a win-win situation was actually Jiang Lan winning twice.

If there really was a Legacy in the Immortal Cave, he could even get half of it.

That would be winning three times.

In short, he won big.

Jiang Lan took the brush from Liu Wei's hand and, with a flourish, directly wrote his name.

"No problem."

"Brother Jiang is straightforward!" Liu Wei was also overjoyed.

He also signed his name on the paper, then took out a seal and said:

"If the pact is made, there's no going back, Brother Jiang, have you thought it through?"

"No regrets."

Regrets?

What a joke.

How could he have regrets?

Jiang Lan was already happy enough.

As Jiang Lan's words fell, Liu Wei directly took the seal, dipped it in a bit of ink paste, and pressed it onto the paper.

At this point, the zhenwu pact was complete.

Immediately after, before Jiang Lan could speak, Liu Wei reached into his in my arms and fumbled for a moment, then took out a small booklet.

"Brother Jiang, this is the Cultivation Technique. You can take it and read it first. We'll depart in three days, how about that?"

Jiang Lan took the booklet, a smile appearing on his face.

He had searched high and low for it, only to find it without effort.

He hadn't expected that just coming to the Zhenwu Pavilion for a look would lead to such a good thing.

"Three days won't be necessary. I won't need that long. We can depart tomorrow."

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated, seemingly feeling that one day was too short.

"Brother Jiang, I have no problem with that, but you... can you really do it in one day?"

"Don't worry."

One day, for Jiang Lan, was more than enough time.

In fact, as long as he learned the Cultivation Technique, he wouldn't even need three minutes to infuse all his Lifespan into it.

Seeing that Jiang Lan had already said so, Liu Wei didn't say anything more, only stating:

"Alright then, tomorrow at the beginning of the You hour, we'll meet in front of the Zhenwu Pavilion, how about that?"

"That works."

Jiang Lan had no objection to this meeting time.

This place was like a fiery mountain during the day; only in the evening, when the sun set, did it cool down a bit.

Although this temperature was nothing to two Mortal Shedding Realm Martial Artists like Jiang Lan and him,

it was generally uncomfortable to have a scorching sun overhead.

Holding the booklet, after bidding farewell to Liu Wei, Jiang Lan didn't linger. He left the Zhenwu Pavilion directly, found an Inn nearby, and rented a room.

Sitting in the room, Jiang Lan then took out the small booklet Liu Wei had given him earlier.

It was a thin booklet, with several large characters written on the cover.

"Solar True Yang Art"

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up.

This name was quite to his liking.

His original Cultivation Technique, after modification, already had a stronger and more aggressive Yang Qi.

Looking at the name of this Cultivation Technique, it must also be a Cultivation Technique of extreme Yang and rigidity.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Lan opened the book's cover page.

"Yaori, the extreme of Yang, incomparably fierce..."

As he read, Jiang Lan's mind and body gradually became immersed in it.

After infusing Lifespan into the System for advancement, what it brought Jiang Lan was not just the Realm, but also corresponding memories.

He had spent an unknown amount of Lifespan on the Fusion of Cultivation Techniques before, and his understanding of Cultivation Techniques also far exceeded that of ordinary people.

So, after just a few glances, Jiang Lan roughly had an idea in his mind.

Just a moment later, the System light screen appeared before him.

【Cultivation Technique "Solar True Yang Art" has been learned.】

...【Name: Jiang Lan】

【Cultivation: Mortal Shedding Ninth Level (Peak)】

【Cultivation Technique: Golden Essence Spirit Cultivation Art, Solar True Yang Art】

【Martial Skill: Blazing Sun Demon Suppression Blade (Return to Simplicity), Flood Dragon Swim (Return to Simplicity), Hidden God Art (Return to Simplicity), Shadow Blade Art (Return to Simplicity)】

【Divine Ability: 72 Transformations of Di Sha (Perfection)】

【Remaining Lifespan: Three thousand four hundred fifty-three years.】

【Can infuse Lifespan into Cultivation Techniques and skills to increase strength.】

【Can increase Lifespan by suppressing or killing demons.】

...Before, after Jiang Lan finished upgrading the 72 Transformations of Di Sha, he only had over two thousand years of Lifespan left. However, during this period of travel, he killed many demons, and his Lifespan once again broke the three-thousand-year mark.

For a moment, Jiang Lan was extremely excited.

After such a long period of effort, today he could finally become a Core Formation Realm powerhouse.

He wondered how many levels of Core Formation his current three thousand plus years of Lifespan could elevate his strength to.

"Increase my cultivation, max it out for me!"
