217: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge

Immediately after, he changed the subject.

“However, my dear brother, if you want to deduce Cultivation Techniques on your own, I’m afraid it will be very difficult. Besides those heaven-blessed geniuses, I, your elder brother, have never heard of anyone successfully deducing Cultivation Techniques. Even most of what we Cultivate now are legacies from ancient times.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

“I understand, thank you. But I still want to try.”

Feng Yao said these things for his own good, not wanting him to waste time.

However, Feng Yao didn't know that Jiang Lan had a System; what would take others thousands or tens of thousands of years, for Jiang Lan, would only take an instant.

Putting away the four booklets, Jiang Lan stood up and said, “Big Brother, I’ll head back now.”

“So urgent? Stay for a simple meal before you go.”

“No, I can’t control myself when I see something interesting. Once I thoroughly understand these Cultivation Techniques, I will definitely drink with Big Brother,” Jiang Lan refused.

Eat? How could eating be more important than improving his Cultivation?

After speaking, Jiang Lan left directly, ignoring Feng Yao's attempts to make him stay.

Riding low in the sky, in just over ten breaths, Jiang Lan returned to his residence.

Wang Erniu heard the commotion and came out to greet Jiang Lan.

Before she could speak, Jiang Lan said:

“Watch the door. Don’t let anyone disturb me until I come out.”

At this point, the sky was already showing signs of darkening, and Jiang Lan didn't know many people in this Luan Mo Region.

Logically speaking, no one should come to find him at this time.

However, to be safe, he still had Wang Erniu guard the door.

Jiang Lan's mind was completely focused on the Cultivation Techniques now; he had no interest in doing anything else.

After speaking to Wang Erniu, Jiang Lan went straight upstairs to his room.

After returning to his room, he eagerly took out the Cultivation Techniques and began to read them.

First was the Cold Jade Heaven Sealing Technique.

Opening the first page, Jiang Lan quickly became immersed in it.

After an unknown period, a light screen flashed before Jiang Lan.

【Cultivation Technique Cold Jade Heaven Sealing Technique has been learned.】

The moment the message appeared, Jiang Lan closed the Cold Jade Heaven Sealing Technique and picked up the next Great Wilderness Demon Tome.

He became immersed once more.

After a long while.

【Cultivation Technique Great Wilderness Demon Tome has been learned.】

Next, Jiang Lan opened the third Cultivation Technique.

This one was the Kun Peng Demon Scripture.

He had learned the Kun Peng Demon Scripture when he first entered the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

However, that was just the basic version, whereas what Jiang Lan was looking at now was a genuine Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique.

Since he had seen it before, even if it was only the basic version, the Cultivation Techniques were largely similar, so this time, in less than an hour, Jiang Lan had already thoroughly understood the Kun Peng Demon Scripture in front of him.

【Cultivation Technique Kun Peng Demon Scripture has been learned.】

Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

It's done!

He had learned them all.

So the next step was to test whether his previous idea was correct.

If it could truly achieve Fusion, that would be a huge help to him.

Jiang Lan looked at the virtual panel... 【Name: Jiang Lan】

【Cultivation: Infant Transformation Ninth Stage】

【Cultivation Technique: Golden Essence Spirit Cultivation Art, Solar True Yang Art, Kun Peng Demon Scripture +, Devouring Heaven Demon Art, Cold Jade Heaven Sealing Technique, Great Wilderness Demon Tome】

【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: Ninety-four thousand six hundred years.】

【Can inject Lifespan into Cultivation Techniques and skills to improve strength.】

【Can increase Lifespan by suppressing or slaying demons.】

...Looking at it this way, he really had quite a few Cultivation Techniques.

Even if the two Kun Peng Demon Scriptures were combined, there were still six.

However, the previous ones were completely useless to Jiang Lan now.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Lan silently spoke in his mind:

“Can all the Cultivation Techniques I currently know be fused into one?”

So many Cultivation Techniques were annoying to look at.

As Jiang Lan asked, a line of text popped up on the light screen in front of him.

【Are you sure you want to fuse all Cultivation Techniques?】

Jiang Lan’s eyes lit up.

There's a chance!

“Confirm!” Jiang Lan quickly agreed.

【Beginning Fusion.】

【Year one, beginning Cultivation Technique Fusion.】

【Year one thousand five hundred twenty-three, although there aren’t many clues, you seem to have vaguely grasped something.】

【Year six thousand seven hundred fifty-two, you successfully took the first step, and the process of Cultivation Technique Fusion is progressing steadily.】

【Year thirty-five thousand, you successfully incorporated the Golden Essence Spirit Cultivation Art, completing one-sixth of the progress.】

【Year seventy-six thousand five hundred thirty-two, you successfully fused the Solar True Yang Art into the new Cultivation Technique, and the progress has increased by another segment.】

【Year ninety-four thousand five hundred ninety-nine, your progress in fusing the third Cultivation Technique is already a little over half. You are confident that with another forty thousand years, you will definitely be able to successfully fuse the Kun Peng Demon Scripture.】

Looking at the text flashing on the light screen, Jiang Lan was a bit slow to react.

Why did it start deducting Lifespan?

And... isn't this deduction a bit too excessive?

That was over ninety-four thousand years!

Just gone like that?

And according to the System, it would take another forty thousand years to successfully fuse the third Cultivation Technique.

If it's calculated this way, and the time required increases further down the line, wouldn't it take three to five hundred thousand years to successfully fuse all the Cultivation Techniques together?

Holy crap.

Jiang Lan felt a bit of a toothache.

This Cultivation Technique upgrade and Fusion really consumed a lot of Lifespan.

Actually, spending a bit more Lifespan wasn't a big deal for Jiang Lan.

Anyway, staying here, he could get about ten thousand years of Lifespan on average per day.

Let alone three to five hundred thousand years, even a million years would only cost him a little over three months.

What Jiang Lan was afraid of was that even after all these Cultivation Techniques were blended together, it still wouldn't be a Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique.

That would truly be a waste of effort.

Even throwing a stone into water, you'd at least hear a splash, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan silently asked:

“What level will the Cultivation Technique be after complete Fusion?”

The light screen in front of him reacted for a moment before a line of text popped up.

【Estimated to be a Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique.】

Jiang Lan had already discovered that his System was quite intelligent.

Most questions, if he asked, would be answered.

And not those idiotic answers like

no permission

or anything like that.

In short, the System's intelligence level should not be low.

Getting the expected answer, Jiang Lan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as the fused Cultivation Technique was Soul Transformation, that was fine.

If it consumed more Lifespan, then so be it.

Anyway, he gained ten thousand years a day, so it didn't matter.

As long as he stayed hidden in this place for a year and a half, and then went out, it was estimated that no one on the entire Chihong Province continent would be his opponent.

Jiang Lan clenched his fist.

That's right!

By then, punching the Kunpeng Demon Emperor and kicking the Green Lantern Goddess would be no dream at all.

Jiang Lan rarely held grudges, but he still remembered the grudge from that one glance from the Green Lantern Goddess.

A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years!
