I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Feigning Death to Escape, Full-Scale Upgrade

“Where is the Life Crystal?”

Xu Qing asked.

“I have brought it, Master.”

Ye Langtian took the Life Crystal from his robes and handed it to Xu Qing.

“Mm.”

Xu Qing took it in his hand.

[Life Crystal LV1: 93,000/100 (Upgradable!)]

“Good.”

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. “You did well.”

“Master, after I returned, I secretly soaked this Life Crystal in the Blood Pool. It was there for a full two months. I only brought it back when you summoned me.”

Ye Langtian said.

“Mm.”

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

“Upgrade the Life Crystal!”

Xu Qing commanded.

SWISH!

The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a fluorescent glow.

At the same time, a white light flashed across the Life Crystal in Xu Qing’s hand.

HUM!

An image appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes. It showed the process of creating a Life Crystal, but it was somewhat blurry and difficult to see clearly.

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Life Crystal LV3: 92,900/200 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Life Crystal LV4: 92,700/400 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Life Crystal LV5: 92,300/800 (Upgradable!)]

…

Next, Xu Qing upgraded the Life Crystal several times in a row.

Soon.

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Life Crystal LV10: 67,500/25,600 (Upgradable!) (This is a special Energy Crystal required for the Cultivation of the Devouring Demon Technique. It is created by fusing the Life Origin of ten Martial Artists who have reached the Peak of Invulnerability with the Origin of ten Fourth-Level Flesh Fields. It is then refined using special techniques and precious materials, containing unimaginable Energy. A single crystal is enough to allow the Devouring Demon Technique to enter the Second Layer.)]

…

“Not bad, not bad at all.”

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

“This…”

Ye Langtian stared at Xu Qing in shock. He watched as the Life Crystal in Xu Qing’s hand changed continuously. In less than half a minute, an ordinary Life Crystal had transformed into a flawless one.

It was a staggering, absolutely staggering sight.

“Master, you…?”

Ye Langtian’s mouth fell open.

“Continue.”

Xu Qing’s expression flickered. He didn’t answer Ye Langtian, simply commanding, “Upgrade the Life Crystal!”

HUM!

The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a fluorescent glow once more.

This time, it was quite intense.

At the same time, the Life Crystal in Xu Qing’s hand began to flicker with red light instead of white. The flashing red light made it look increasingly sinister.

“This…”

Xu Qing’s vision blurred as a series of images flashed before him. In these scenes, an old man in blood-red robes appeared. The old man held a Life Crystal and wandered through a dark, desolate mass grave.

HUM! HUM! HUM!

The blood-robed elder performed a Secret Technique, refining one Wandering Ghost after another from the mass grave into the Life Crystal in his hand.

Gradually, the Life Crystal began to change.

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Life Crystal LV11: 41,900/51,200 (This is a special Energy Crystal required for the Cultivation of the Devouring Demon Technique. It is created by fusing the Life Origin of ten Martial Artists who have reached the Peak of Invulnerability with the Origin of ten Fourth-Level Flesh Fields. It has also absorbed the Soul Energy of ninety-nine Wandering Ghosts. It contains unimaginable Energy and a special Spirituality, and can be used not only to enhance the Devouring Demon Technique but also to refine a ’Spirit Soldier’.)]

’It’s already Level 11,’

Xu Qing mused. ’This Life Crystal is the first Level 11 item I’ve upgraded. My Iron Sword, Wandering Dragon Sword, Copper Coin Sword, and Evil Ghost Mask can all be upgraded now, too.’

’It’s because I’ve entered the Second Realm.’

“Ye Langtian,”

Xu Qing called out.

“I am here, Master.”

Ye Langtian responded.

“I bestow this Life Crystal upon you.”

Xu Qing handed the Level 11 Life Crystal to Ye Langtian. “Take it and cultivate well. Improve your Devouring Demon Technique as quickly as possible. When the time comes, copy down the entire Cultivation Technique for the Devouring Demon Technique Second Layer for me.”

“Yes, I obey.”

Ye Langtian said.

Then, Ye Langtian accepted the Level 11 Life Crystal.

“Master, here are the Celestial Bridge Pills you wanted.”

Ye Langtian took out a black wooden box. After opening it, nine Celestial Bridge Pills lay quietly inside. “This is the most I could acquire for now.”

“If I tried to get any more, it would attract the attention of the Blood Demon Sect.”

“Mm.”

Xu Qing nodded. “This is more than enough.”

“Right,”

Xu Qing said, “Although the Blood Demon Sect has mostly forgotten about Dian Hongbo, they’re bound to remember eventually. It’s time to put an end to this matter.”

“Master, what do you plan to do?”

Ye Langtian asked.

“Doesn’t the Blood Demon Sect want Dian Anhua’s life? Don’t they want to wipe out Dian Hongbo’s entire family? Then let’s give them Dian Anhua’s life.”

Xu Qing smiled.

“This…”

Ye Langtian was stunned for a moment.

Of course, Xu Qing had no real intention of killing Dian Anhua. That wouldn’t fit his style, nor could he bring himself to do something so heinous.

Therefore, Xu Qing planned to have Dian Anhua fake his death to escape.

He then explained the detailed plan.

“Master, you want Dian Anhua to fake his death and escape?”

Ye Langtian understood.

“Correct.”

Xu Qing nodded. “What do you think?”

“I believe your wisdom is unparalleled, Master.”

Ye Langtian replied.

“Then you make the arrangements.”

Xu Qing said.

“Yes.”

Ye Langtian nodded respectfully. “I will follow your instructions to the letter, Master.”

SWISH!

Ye Langtian departed swiftly.

’Qingfeng Town,’

Xu Qing clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the clear night sky. ’I can’t stay here much longer. Once things are settled, it’ll be time for me to go take a look at Moon River Prefecture City.’

「Late that night.」

「In the bedroom.」

WHOOSH…

Xu Qing took out five items: the Level 10 Iron Sword, the Level 10 Wandering Dragon Sword, the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword, the Level 10 Evil Ghost Mask, and the Level 10 Soft Hedgehog Armor.

After these items reached Level 10, he couldn’t continue upgrading them because his Realm was insufficient. Further upgrades would have created uncontrollable dangers.

But now, things were different.

Because Xu Qing had broken through to the ’Second Realm: Extraordinary’, he could now continue upgrading the five items without issue and maintain control.

…

[Iron Sword LV10: 729,300/5,120 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Wandering Dragon Sword LV10: 203,900/30,720 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Copper Coin Sword LV10: 150,200/51,200 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Evil Ghost Mask LV10: 582,000/5,120 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Soft Hedgehog Armor LV10: 472,000/5,120 (Upgradable!)]

…

“Good, good, good.”

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. ’The five items I have all gain Experience Points in a simple way—just by being used or worn.’

’Moreover,’

’The Experience Points for all five items have reached the six-digit range.’

’In that case, I’ll upgrade them one by one,’

Xu Qing thought.

’Upgrade the Level 10 Iron Sword.’

HUM!

With a single thought, the Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a rich, fluorescent light.

SWISH!

At the same time, the Level 10 Iron Sword in Xu Qing’s hand shimmered with a silver brilliance. A series of images appeared before him.

In the images, Xu Qing saw a muscular, bare-chested middle-aged man. This man was not a blacksmith, but an ’Artisan Spirit Master’—a rank beyond Master Blacksmith.

Right now, this ’Artisan Spirit Master’ was forging a weapon—the very Level 10 Iron Sword in Xu Qing’s hand. He was Engraving one Spirit Pattern after another onto the blade.

HUM!

Finally, the Level 10 Iron Sword trembled slightly, letting out a pleasant ringing sound. The Level 10 Iron Sword had been bestowed with true Spirituality and levitated into the air as if it had gained consciousness.

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Iron Sword LV11: 724,180/10,240 (Upgradable!) (This was originally an Unparalleled Divine Weapon forged from precious materials by a Master Blacksmith, a rare Divine Weapon and Sharp Artifact. It was then endowed with Spirit Patterns and Spirituality by an ’Artisan Spirit Master’, awakening its true Spirituality and gaining consciousness.)]

CLANG!

Xu Qing heard the sword ring.

SWISH!

Sure enough, the Level 11 Iron Sword in Xu Qing’s hand slowly levitated. Like a docile little fish, it circled around him.

Then, Xu Qing grasped the Level 11 Iron Sword. The Spirit Patterns on its blade pulsed with light. Though there was only a single Spirit Pattern, he could feel a Power spreading from it.

This Power amplified Xu Qing’s own.

It seemed to increase it by about ten percent.

“Hah…”

Xu Qing said with a satisfied look, “To think it has this kind of amplification.”

“Continue upgrading the Level 11 Iron Sword,”

Xu Qing commanded.

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Iron Sword LV12: 713,940/20,480 (Upgradable!)]

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Iron Sword LV13: 693,460/40,960 (Upgradable!)]

…

…

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Iron Sword LV17: 79,060/655,360 (This was originally an Unparalleled Divine Weapon forged from precious materials by a Master Blacksmith, a rare Divine Weapon and Sharp Artifact. It was then endowed with Spirit Patterns and Spirituality by an ’Artisan Spirit Master’, receiving a total of seven Spirit Patterns, awakening its true Spirituality and gaining consciousness.)]

…

In the end, Xu Qing had used up almost all of the Iron Sword’s Experience Points, and it couldn’t be upgraded any further. Seven Spirit Patterns were now Engraved on the sword’s blade.

HUM!

Xu Qing gripped the Level 17 Iron Sword, and his Martial Arts True Qi surged into it. The seven Spirit Patterns flashed with brilliance, and a stream of Energy flowed into Xu Qing’s body.

“This…”

Xu Qing carefully experienced the sensation. His own perception merged with the Iron Sword’s Spirituality, and the Level 17 Iron Sword in his hand felt like an extension of his arm.

Moreover,

Xu Qing felt his power faintly amplified by seventy percent.

“Not bad, not bad at all.”

Xu Qing was extremely satisfied.

Next, Xu Qing took a moment to adapt to the Mighty Power of the Level 17 Iron Sword. With a wave of his right hand, the sword shot through the air and hovered beside him, suffused with a strong, independent Spirituality.

Apparently, this was why items couldn’t be upgraded to Level 11 while he was in the First Realm. Upon reaching Level 11, they would awaken their own independent Spirituality.

At that point, an item upgraded to Level 11 would choose its own master. If Xu Qing’s strength was too weak and his Realm too low, these items upgraded to Level 11 or higher would abandon him.

Of course,

that was no longer a concern.

Because Xu Qing had already entered the ’Second Realm: Extraordinary’.

’Upgrade the Level 10 Wandering Dragon Sword,’

Xu Qing commanded.
