184: Where to get some life

Wang Erniu seemed to sense the connection established with Jiang Lan and let out a long sigh of relief.

Now that things had come to this, she probably wouldn't have to die.

Next, it was time to show her loyalty.

Wang Erniu remained kneeling on the ground, sincerely saying to Jiang Lan:

"Master, from this day forward, Wang Erniu will be your servant, never betraying you."

Jiang Lan looked down at Wang Erniu.

"Get up, no need to kneel anymore."

After signing the blood pact, he gained the ability to control Wang Erniu's life and death at any time, and even, to a certain extent, perceive her inner thoughts.

In other words, the current Wang Erniu had completely become his subordinate.

"Thank you, Master."

"Just call me Lang Qing."

Calling him Master was too conspicuous.

Jiang Lan didn't want to expose himself yet.

"Yes."

Wang Erniu replied submissively.

Jiang Lan then said:

"Guard the cave entrance. Without my permission, do not let anything disturb me."

"Yes!" Wang Erniu agreed again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lan entered the cave.

Although there was still a faint smell of blood inside the cave, Jiang Lan didn't mind. He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and took out the Cultivation Technique he had just acquired from his Pregnant.

On the cover, four large characters were written.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Art"

It was dark inside the cave, but Jiang Lan could still see as clearly as day, completely unaffected.

Opening the cover, Jiang Lan looked at the Cultivation Technique recorded within.

Cultivation Techniques were all largely similar, differing only in the circulation routes, Cultivate speed, and the final effects.

Since his foundation was already solid, Jiang Lan learned the Devouring Heaven Demon Art very quickly.

In just a moment, he had grasped the essentials.

The Cultivation Technique "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" has been learned.

Seeing the text on the panel before him, Jiang Lan's face showed a slight smile.

It was not in vain that he had put so much effort into this.

It was finally in his hands.

Jiang Lan had put a lot of thought into acquiring this Cultivation Technique for the Nascent Soul Realm.

With this, he could proceed with his next plan.

Jiang Lan looked at his own section on the panel... [Name: Jiang Lan]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Ninth Level]

[Cultivation Technique: Golden Essence Spirit Cultivation Art, Solar True Yang Art, Kun Peng Demon Scripture, Devouring Heaven Demon 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: Sixty-three years.]

[Can infuse Cultivation Technique skills with Lifespan to increase strength.]

[Can increase Lifespan by suppressing or slaying demons.]

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

He had learned the Cultivation Technique, but his current Lifespan was running out.

Sixty-odd years, let alone reaching Nascent Soul, might not even be enough to reach the Peak of Core Formation Ninth Level.

Attacking the mountain now was also not an option.

Even if he truly didn't plan to go to the main Peak, the Elder here was still a threat to the current Jiang Lan.

At the very least, he needed to first raise his Realm to Transformation Infant Peak.

And reaching Transformation Infant Peak would definitely require a massive amount of Lifespan.

When he was in the Core Formation Realm before, advancing a small Realm cost him about one to two thousand years.

Now in Nascent Soul, this time would only be longer.

Even if it were three thousand years, to reach Transformation Infant Peak, he would still need thirty thousand years of Lifespan.

But the current problem was, where could he get so much Lifespan?

Should he ask Wang Erniu to bring demons for him to kill?

This thought was immediately rejected by Jiang Lan himself.

The most Wang Erniu could bring were some Inner Sect Disciples.

Inner Sect Disciples, at their strongest, were only in the Spirit Gathering Realm.

One Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator could at most provide him a few hundred years of Lifespan. How many would he have to kill to gather thirty thousand?

After a moment of thought, Jiang Lan raised his head and called out to the outside of the cave:

"Come in."

Wang Erniu, hearing his voice from outside the cave, quickly scurried to Jiang Lan, knelt down, and respectfully said:

"Master."

Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Lan's expression, Wang Erniu realized her slip of the tongue and quickly corrected herself:

"Lord Lang Qing."

"Mm." Jiang Lan nodded, not bothering to dwell on the address issue, and instead said, "Besides this place, do you know anywhere else where there are many invading demons gathered?"

Hearing Jiang Lan's question, Wang Erniu was a little surprised.

Many invading demons?

Why was Master asking this?

Wang Erniu quickly adapted to her role; she now completely regarded Jiang Lan as her Master.

She was puzzled for a moment, then immediately replied:

"Yes, and there are many. I wonder what kind of place you are looking for, my lord? A city? Or the wilderness? Or a market?"

Jiang Lan looked at Wang Erniu with a hint of appreciation.

"No specific requirements, just one: the more chaotic the place, the better. Ideally, a place where even major incidents wouldn't attract outside attention."

Jiang Lan had only asked casually, not really expecting such a place to exist.

Thinking to himself, Jiang Lan continued:

"If there isn't such a place, then find a place with a lot of demons, preferably one with strong overall power."

After a moment of thought, Jiang Lan still decided not to target Yellow Demon Peak for now.

He was still somewhat familiar with this place, and it would make a good base.

He might as well ask Wang Erniu if there were any other places nearby that met his requirements.

"The more chaotic, the better..." Wang Erniu's tiger head hung low as she pondered for a moment.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, abruptly raising her head, her expression somewhat excited:

"I've thought of it!"

Jiang Lan's heart also rejoiced, but his face showed no excitement as he said, "Tell me about it."

Wang Erniu rattled off the details.

"Seven hundred and twenty li north of Yellow Demon Peak, there's a place called Luan Mo Region. That place perfectly fits your requirements, my lord."

"Luan Mo Region..."

Jiang Lan repeated in a low voice.

He had never heard of this place before.

In fact, Jiang Lan knew absolutely nothing about this demon territory.

The information he had gathered was extremely limited.

Wang Erniu seemed to notice Jiang Lan's confusion and began to explain:

"Luan Mo Region was initially called Hun Tian City and wasn't chaotic. It's just that the laws there weren't perfect, so from time to time, demons who committed crimes outside would secretly sneak in. Over time, Hun Tian City came to be called Luan Mo Region by other demons.

"Currently, all kinds of demons reside there. The original laws have been completely abolished, so no matter what one does within the city, no demon will interfere."

As Wang Erniu introduced the place, Jiang Lan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

There was such a good place?

Before he could speak, Wang Erniu continued:

"Moreover, in Luan Mo Region, there are quite a few who betrayed the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. Currently, the Sect still has many bounties out for them."
