164: Kill the monster and touch the corpse

After wandering around the market for a long time, Jiang Lan finally figured out the basic operating logic of the demon world.

To be honest, there wasn't much difference from the human world.

The main difference was that the currency used by demons was not gold, silver, or copper, but a type of pill.

It was called a grass pill.

It was the black pill the bear demon had taken out earlier.

Jiang Lan didn't know what exactly the grass pill was made of.

However, what he did know was that eating a grass pill could stave off hunger for a day.

Demons couldn't farm, and the natural environment here was very harsh; even if they could farm, they would most likely have no harvest.

Therefore, for demons, the grass pill was not only currency but also their daily food.

As for purchasing power, according to Jiang Lan's observations, one grass pill was roughly equivalent to five copper coins in the human world.

In modern terms, that would be about ten yuan.

Besides grass pills, there were also higher denomination currencies in this place.

According to the demons, they were called blood pills.

The exchange ratio of blood pills to grass pills should be one to ten, which is equivalent to about a hundred yuan in modern terms.

Although this monetary system seemed a bit rudimentary to Jiang Lan, it was sufficient in the demon world.

After all, demons didn't have as many miscellaneous needs as humans.

Even if they had trading needs, they were very Elementary.

"Let's go."

The market was explored, and Jiang Lan had no more interest in this place.

It was just too run-down.

It was very different from what he had imagined before coming.

However, although unexpected, the situation in the demon world was also within reason.

Moreover, this place was self-built; there must be large cities in the demon world.

"White Wolf, aren't you buying anything?"

Jiang Lan didn't speak.

What would he buy?

Buy some human meat to make buns?

"I'll take you to find the fire cicada molting."

Hearing Jiang Lan's words, the bear demon's brown eyes lit up fiercely.

Why did he bring Jiang Lan here?

Wasn't it to make this Wolf Cub happy so he could find out where the fire cicada molting was?

As for Jiang Lan deceiving him, he hadn't even considered that.

To put it nicely, he was honest.

To put it less nicely, after all, he was a demon, so his brain certainly wasn't as sharp as a human's.

"Go, go, go, let's go now, Wolf Brother, where do you say we should go?"

"Let's get out first."

Although he had already used True Qi to block most of the peculiar smells, after walking for nearly half an hour, Jiang Lan still felt a bit dizzy.

He strongly suspected that the smell inside this market was poisonous.

If it were a proper ordinary human, they probably wouldn't be able to stay in this place at all.

Led by the bear demon, Jiang Lan left the market.

The bear demon didn't buy anything either, just looked around.

His main purpose for coming to the market was for the fire cicada molting, and secondarily to bring Jiang Lan over.

But the fire cicada molting was inherently rare; even if the market sold it, it would depend on luck.

But clearly, the bear demon's luck wasn't very good.

After leaving the market, the bear demon repeatedly asked:

"White Wolf Brother, where do you say that place is?"

"Let's go."

This time, it was Jiang Lan's turn to lead the way.

Of course, he didn't know the location of any fire cicada molting.

Jiang Lan purely wanted to get away from the market entrance, find a place with no humans... no demons, and deal with these three guys.

His goal had basically been achieved, and there was no need for these three demons to continue living.

Jiang Lan never forgot what his purpose was for coming to this place.

Under Jiang Lan's leadership, the bear demon, along with the two snake demons, walked for more than ten li.

Unable to keep things to himself, the bear demon finally grew a bit impatient and asked Jiang Lan in a muffled voice:

"I say, White Wolf, you said you'd take us brothers to find the fire cicada molting, but now there's no movement. Where is it, tell us already."

Jiang Lan still didn't reply, but instead turned to look around.

Hmm, few demon traces, a good place to destroy bodies.

Immediately, Jiang Lan no longer concealed himself, and his figure directly disappeared from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the bear demon.

The speed was so fast that the bear demon didn't react at all.

He only saw Jiang Lan's wolf claw rapidly enlarging before his eyes, and then, his vision immediately did a one-hundred-eighty-degree flip, seeing the scene that was originally behind him.

He was still wondering, but the next moment, the bear demon only felt his eyes go black, instantly losing all consciousness.

All of this happened in an instant.

By the time the two snake demons next to him reacted to what was happening, Jiang Lan's figure had already disappeared again.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

After cleanly twisting the necks of the two snake demons, Jiang Lan clapped his hands, as if brushing off non-existent blood.

Before his eyes, a virtual light screen appeared, with three lines of text information on it.

Killed a Qi Gathering Fifth Level bear demon, gained 164 years of Lifespan.

Killed a Qi Gathering Third Level snake demon, gained 123 years of Lifespan.

Killed a Qi Gathering Third Level snake demon, gained 125 years of Lifespan.

Remaining Lifespan: 413 years.

...Name: Jiang Lan

Cultivation: Core Formation Eighth 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: 413 years.

Can infuse Lifespan into Cultivation Techniques and skills to improve strength.

Can suppress or kill demons to increase Lifespan.

...Looking at his own information, Jiang Lan curled his lips.

Although he had started, the Lifespan he gained wasn't much.

Only about four hundred years.

Having experienced previous scenes, this four hundred years of Lifespan now held little excitement for him.

But it didn't matter. Now that he had arrived at the place, Jiang Lan believed that his Lifespan would definitely snowball, increasing at an extremely fast rate.

First, set a small goal.

Get ten thousand years of Lifespan first.

But to get Lifespan, he had to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan suddenly turned to look at the three corpses.

Before, he didn't need to search corpses after killing demons, but now he couldn't afford not to.

As the saying goes, a hero can be stumped by a single coin.

Jiang Lan currently had no money at all.

So, he still had to search the corpses.

Enduring the strange odors emanating from the demons, Jiang Lan fumbled around for a while.

On the bear demon, he found a total of thirty grass pills, and five blood pills that were larger than the grass pills and dark red in color.

Jiang Lan curled his lips.

He was a demon in the Qi Gathering Realm, did he have to be so poor?

A grass pill was ten yuan, a blood pill was one hundred yuan. All these things combined, converted into modern money, only amounted to eight hundred yuan.

However, it was all free gain, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Jiang Lan comforted himself and then went to search the bodies of the two snake demons.
