218: Six hundred thousand years just passed like that?

Jiang Lan was in a great mood.

So, next, he would stay in the Luan Mo Region and continuously earn lifespan.

He would focus on successfully achieving the Cultivation Technique Fusion first.

Jiang Lan’s thoughts churned, then he stood up and stretched lazily.

He hadn't expected to gain so much from his visit to Feng Yao today.

Indeed, good deeds are rewarded.

If he hadn't helped Feng Yao, they might not have had their conversation today, and he might not have remembered the method of using a large number of Cultivation Techniques to fuse a higher-tier Cultivation Technique.

In fact, Jiang Lan had only used this method once, and at that time, it had cost him a massive amount of lifespan.

So, subconsciously, he had abandoned this method.

It was only after Feng Yao’s reminder that he recalled it.

Putting aside his thoughts, Jiang Lan lay on the huge wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep… In a blink of an eye, two months passed quickly.

On this day, Jiang Lan emerged from the Law Enforcement Hall and returned to his residence.

As soon as he arrived home, Jiang Lan headed straight for his room, and after entering and closing the door, he said somewhat impatiently:

“Continue to fuse the Cultivation Technique.”

Jiang Lan had accumulated two full months of lifespan, and seeing the 630,000 years in his column, he felt very eager.

He hadn't fused a little each day, but rather planned to save it all to successfully fuse the Cultivation Technique in one go.

The System light screen appeared directly, with text scrolling.

“In the first year, you continued to fuse the Cultivation Technique.”

“In the forty-first thousand two hundred and twenty-first year, you successfully fused the Kun Peng Demon Scripture, completing the Fusion of the third Cultivation Technique.”

“In the sixtieth thousand year, you deeply felt the difficulty of the Fusion process; each additional Cultivation Technique fused increased the difficulty exponentially, but you did not lose heart. Do you wish to continue fusing the Cultivation Technique?”

Jiang Lan: “?”

If you’re going to rob me, just rob me. What’s this about exponential increase?

“In the one hundred and sixty-third thousand two hundredth year, you finally successfully fused the Devouring Heaven Demon Art into your self-created Cultivation Technique, greatly enhancing its effects.”

“In the two hundredth thousand year, you continued to fuse the fifth Cultivation Technique. The difficulty of Fusion increased again, but you still did not lose heart.”

Jiang Lan: “…”

You say I didn’t lose heart just because you say so?

This was twenty days of hard work!

But Jiang Lan was helpless.

On second thought, since he hadn't paid anything, his mind became much more balanced.

“In the three hundred and seventy thousandth year, through your unremitting efforts, you finally successfully blended the Cold Jade Heaven Sealing Technique into the Cultivation Technique.”

“In the four hundred and twenty thousandth year, only the last Cultivation Technique remained for the Fusion to be complete. You deeply felt the path ahead was fraught with difficulties.”

“In the six hundred and thirty-first thousand two hundredth year, due to time constraints, you were unable to complete the Fusion of all Cultivation Techniques. However, the last one has been mostly successfully fused. You are confident that within one hundred thousand years, you will be able to complete the Fusion of all Cultivation Techniques.”

Looking at the text on the light screen, Jiang Lan felt a bit helpless.

At the beginning, the Cultivation Technique Fusion had already taken ninety thousand years.

Adding these more than six hundred thousand years, a total of seven hundred thousand years of his lifespan had been consumed.

However, now that the lifespan had been deducted, it was useless for him to overthink it.

He only hoped that the effects of the fused Cultivation Technique would be as satisfactory as possible.

There were still one hundred thousand years.

This number, for Jiang Lan, was not much.

It was just ten days.

Coincidentally, Cui Yushan said that the list Jiang Lan had given him earlier had already shown some promise.

That list contained the names of all the demons who had defected from the Ten Thousand Demons Hall and entered the Luan Mo Region.

Among them, there were quite a few Mortal Shedding and Demon Cores, totaling about a dozen.

There were three Demon Cores alone.

Killing all these demons on the list should provide enough lifespan to successfully upgrade the Cultivation Technique.

Jiang Lan calculated in his mind, then glanced out the window.

At this moment, the sky was neither early nor late.

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment, then stood up from his seat.

In the two-plus months he had been in the Luan Mo Region, he hadn't really gone out to explore much.

During this time, Jiang Lan went only to the Law Enforcement Hall and the Luan Yao Alliance Hall, a three-point line.

Although these were all demons, it was still good to go out for a stroll.

Moreover, in the central area of this Inner City, there were basically no demons below Mortal Shedding, so those walking on the streets were mostly in human form, with only a very few having some animalistic features, and even those were not obvious.

Jiang Lan went downstairs and out, arriving on the street.

On the street, the flow of people was not large, but not small either; within a few steps, two or three demons, dressed in various ways, passed by Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan looked at the passing demons, slightly narrowing his eyes.

Why did these people look at him with a gaze that seemed a bit… fearful?

If Jiang Lan hadn't misjudged, it should have been a feeling of fear mixed with disgust, yet they dared not provoke him.

Interesting.

Jiang Lan smiled.

After his initial confusion, he understood why the passing demons looked at him with such eyes.

There was only one reason.

He had killed too many demons during this period.

The original Law Enforcement Hall, though not merely a decoration, certainly had reservations about taking action.

But ever since Jiang Lan took office, the group of people in the Law Enforcement Hall seemed to have all gone mad; not to say they arrested everyone they saw, but as long as someone had committed an offense, no matter how big or small, they couldn't escape a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall.

And ever since Jiang Lan took over the Law Enforcement Hall, no one who entered the Law Enforcement Hall had ever come out alive.

Therefore, the demons in the Inner City now, especially those who had committed offenses, all wished Jiang Lan would die soon.

They were afraid that at some point, their old, forgotten wrongdoings would be dug up by the Law Enforcement Hall.

At that time, the outcome would undoubtedly be death.

As for why those demons didn't leave the Luan Mo Region now.

What kind of decent demon would come to a hellish place like the Luan Mo Region for no reason?

Those who came were all unable to survive outside, or were being hunted down, which is why they ended up in this Luan Mo Region.

Coincidentally, the strength of these demons was not very good.

After all, if they were powerful, they wouldn't have been unable to get by outside.

So their attitude towards Jiang Lan was one of complete suppressed anger.

In response, Jiang Lan merely smiled faintly.

He had no interest in caring about other people's attitudes towards him.

They were just a bunch of demons; besides providing him with lifespan, there was no need for Jiang Lan to pay them any mind.

Jiang Lan walked along the street.

When he reached the intersection, he saw a familiar figure.

Cui Yushan.

Jiang Lan took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Cui Yushan.

Only then did Cui Yushan notice him, turning his head to look in Jiang Lan's direction, asking with some surprise:

“Hall Master, why are you here?”

Jiang Lan twitched his lips.

This was such a tiny place; wasn't it normal to run into each other?
