I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 151 - 150: Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword! Level 18 Copper Coin Sword
Chapter 151: Chapter 150: Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword! Level 18 Copper Coin Sword
The events on the Desolate Mountain in the Dongcheng District were not discovered by interested parties until the third day. This, in turn, alerted the Prefecture Magistrate’s Office, which dispatched numerous people to investigate.
The result?
Naturally, the investigation turned up nothing.
「One month later.」
Xicheng District.
Tianqi Street.
Xu Qing’s residence.
“I didn’t expect this. I’ve only been away from the Dongcheng District for a month, yet something so huge happened. In just half a month, quite a few wealthy merchants and even some powerful experts have died there.”
Xu Qing stared at the intelligence report from Ye Langtian, a hint of surprise on his face. “Most importantly, even Liu Yuedong, the young master of the Moon River Commerce Association’s Dongcheng District branch, is dead.”
“And…”
“His death was extremely gruesome!”
“Hm?”
Xu Qing paused for a moment. The Blood Demon Sect’s Moon River Prefecture City branch had deeply infiltrated the city. In some respects, they knew more about the situation in Moon River Prefecture City than the Prefecture Magistrate’s Office itself.
Take this incident, for example.
The Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office hadn’t even identified the perpetrator yet, but the Blood Demon Sect’s Moon River Prefecture City branch had already found out who it was.
It was none other than Lan Yu.
“Lan Yu?”
Xu Qing looked at the portrait in his hand and its accompanying description. “Originally a famous female auctioneer for the Moon River Commerce Association in the Dongcheng District, she fell victim to Liu Yuedong’s cruelty. She was sent to Yuelan Pavilion, where she suffered for seven days before being buried alive on the Desolate Mountain in the Dongcheng District.”
“But.”
“Lan Yu merged with a Reincarnation Heart Demon, transformed into the ’Reincarnation Demoness,’ and embarked on the Demon Path. In just half a month, she killed every single person who had abused her.”
“This…”
Astonishment.
Xu Qing looked quite surprised. He recalled the first time he had seen Lan Yu, back when he was leaving the Moon River Commerce Association’s Dongcheng District branch.
Besides that, Xu Qing hadn’t expected that Lan Yu would ultimately fail to escape Liu Yuedong’s clutches.
In fact, this was to be expected.
After all, Lan Yu was just a female auctioneer for the Moon River Commerce Association in the Dongcheng District. No matter how much value she had as a potential asset, she was ultimately just a tool for the association to make money.
Liu Yuedong was different.
He was the young master.
His grandfather was an Elder with real power.
So, Lan Yu was a caged bird with no chance of escape. Falling into Liu Yuedong’s hands was only a matter of time.
She could evade him for a while, but not indefinitely.
’Reincarnation Heart Demon.’
Xu Qing pondered, his attention fixed on this detail. Ye Langtian had also sent specific intelligence about the ’Reincarnation Heart Demon’. “This is a terrifying Heart Demon that escaped the Reincarnation Ruins with a group of explorers when it appeared for the eighth time.”
“Among them,”
“Zhou Guo of the Dapeng Martial Arts Hall was just one of those corrupted. Many other explorers were also affected—some were killed on the spot, some went into hiding, and others escaped.”
“Moreover,”
“the Reincarnation Heart Demon is lurking within Moon River Prefecture City. It could appear anywhere, and its appearances have become more frequent in recent years.”
“Based on deductions and speculation,”
“the essence of the ’Reincarnation Heart Demon’ may have already surpassed the ’Second Realm: Extraordinary’. It is likely a type of ’Heart Demon’ that evolved from the various negative emotions left behind after the master of the ’Reincarnation Ruins’ perished.”
“It exists somewhere between a Demon and a Deceit.”
“It is formless and intangible, yet it truly exists. Destroying such an entity is extremely difficult, almost impossible, unless its true source can be found.”
In truth, whether it was Zhou Guo, Wu Dao Ming, or the Reincarnation Demoness ’Lan Yu’, they were all likely just pawns of the Reincarnation Heart Demon—perhaps nothing more than nourishment for it.
Also, Zhou Guo thought he had mastered the Reincarnation Heart Demon and planted the Heart Demon Seed, believing he was in control of everything. He too was likely just a pawn.
As for the Reincarnation Demoness, ’Lan Yu’… she was a woman of immense sorrow and suffering. On the brink of death, she grasped at one last sliver of hope, but it was nothing more than a deal with a Demon.
It could be said that she was a tragic figure.
Furthermore, as things stood, it was unknown how much of Lan Yu’s own consciousness even remained.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing mused. With a thought, a flame ignited in his hand, burning the letters to ash and leaving no trace behind.
’The Prefecture City isn’t much safer than the county town.’
Xu Qing shook his head. ’The Reincarnation Ruins haven’t even opened yet, and so many things have already happened around me. And who knows how many more things have happened that I’m not even aware of.’
’When the time comes,’
’the opening of the Reincarnation Ruins will be the true beginning of the turmoil.’
SWISH!
With a thought.
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things.

About twenty-five days ago.
The Celestial Roc Technique, the Celestial Sword Technique, and the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method—the three main Magic Gates Xu Qing cultivated—had already accumulated enough Experience Points for him to upgrade them.
As a result, both the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique were raised to Level 4.
This way, his Sky Peng Realm reached the Peak of the Second Realm, and the five Sword Intents of his Celestial Sword Technique—the Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword Intent—also all reached the Peak of the Second Realm.
Consequently, Xu Qing’s Cultivation naturally reached the ’Peak of the Second Realm’.
Of course, after the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method was raised to Level 7, Xu Qing’s First Level of Devouring Demon Intent also rose to the Peak of the First Realm. The First-Turned Demon Pill within him reached its Extreme, ready to break through to the ’Second-Turned Demon Pill’ at any moment.
’Although my Cultivation has reached the Peak of the Second Realm, the speed at which I can practice the Celestial Roc Technique and Celestial Sword Technique is still once every five minutes. There’s been no change.’
Xu Qing thought, ’On the other hand, the Experience Points for my Wandering Dragon Sword and Copper Coin Sword have broken the ten million mark. I can start upgrading their Levels now.’
’Upgrade the Wandering Dragon Sword!’
Xu Qing commanded.
With a thought.
His consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things. Streaks of fluorescent light flickered, and the Wandering Dragon Sword in Xu Qing’s hand pulsed with a silver brilliance.
SWISH! SWISH!
At the same time, a series of images appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes, showing the scene of Spirit Patterns being engraved onto the Wandering Dragon Sword as if it were truly happening.
CLANG!
A sword hummed!

In a short time, the Wandering Dragon Sword underwent seven upgrades. After each upgrade, a dragon-shaped Spirit Pattern was engraved upon its body. Upon reaching Level 20, the sword now bore a total of ten dragon-shaped Spirit Patterns.
Moreover, due to the Wandering Dragon Sword’s inherently high quality, the Mighty Power and amplification it could produce after being engraved with Spirit Patterns far exceeded that of a Level 20 Iron Sword.
After all, a Level 20 Iron Sword could only provide a one-fold amplification at most, while a Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword could provide a full six-fold amplification. The difference between them was huge.
Of course, both a Level 20 Iron Sword and a Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword would form a Spirit Array from their Spirit Patterns upon reaching Level 20, allowing them to release a Sword Realm.
However, the Wandering Dragon Sword’s Sword Realm was stronger.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!
The sword hummed again and again.
The Wandering Dragon Sword seemed to transform into a roaming dragon. Flashes of Sword Light and silver brilliance flickered as it circled around Xu Qing. It was full of Spirituality, its Mighty Power immensely enhanced.
“Excellent.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. As he grasped the Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword, he felt a vast wave of Energy surge from the blade into his body.
It was powerful.
Extremely powerful indeed.
“Upgrade the Copper Coin Sword.”
Xu Qing commanded.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Sure enough.
The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a slightly more intense fluorescent light. The Copper Coin Sword in Xu Qing’s hand also pulsed with brilliance, and a series of images appeared before his eyes.
In the images, he saw two figures. One was the Celestial Master Daoist, and the other was a Spiritual Artisan. The two of them were working together, completely focused on engraving Spirit Patterns onto the Copper Coin Sword.
Finally, the second Spirit Pattern was successfully engraved.
BOOM!
The Copper Coin Sword’s might surged. Flashes of Thunderbolt danced across its blade, an extraordinary sight.

…
“This…”
Xu Qing pondered. With a flick of his right hand, the Copper Coin Sword appeared. After seven upgrades, it had risen from Level 11 to Level 18, just two levels shy of Level 20.
However, even so, the Mighty Power of the Copper Coin Sword far surpassed that of the Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword and the Level 20 Iron Sword. At just Level 18, its amplification strength had already reached eight-fold.
Moreover, the Level 18 Copper Coin Sword could already form a Thunder Sword Realm.
’However, upgrading the Copper Coin Sword’s Level from now on won’t be so simple. Each upgrade will require over ten million, or even tens of millions of Experience Points.’
Xu Qing thought to himself, ’Even if I swing the sword nonstop every day, with Kaya and Yan Gu taking turns, it would probably still take more than two months.’
