Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

Outside the city, on the official road.

Lu Yunchen kept giving Yun Ruo instructions.

Yang Ling stood off to the side with Qin Mo, saying nothing.

"Yun Ruo, make sure to come visit your uncle whenever you have time, got it?"

"When you go back to the Changhe Prefectural Capital this time, you need to cooperate well with Yang Ling. One of you is upper Seventh-Rank, the other is a newly promoted Sixth-Rank. That's an absolutely high-tier Director setup for the Changhe Prefectural Capital."

"If something goes wrong at a time like this, there's no excuse. It'll make you the target of attacks from all sides."

Yang Ling nodded inwardly.

The Changhe Prefectural Capital was one of the lower-ranked prefectural capitals under the Yunwen Provincial Capital.

Besides himself and Yun Ruo, the strongest Director in the Ironclad Department was someone like Sun Biao, an Upper Eighth-Rank expert.

At this thought, Yang Ling remembered something else, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Lu Yunchen suddenly looked at Yang Ling and smiled:

"Yang Ling, work hard when you get back!"

"Director Lu, there's something I'm pretty curious about."

Yang Ling suddenly asked.

Lu Yunchen: "What is it?"

"When I fought with you yesterday, I noticed you seem to have more than one internal technique..."

Yang Ling said.

"Good eyes."

Lu Yunchen said with a faint smile: "I do cultivate two internal techniques.

But don't reach for what's beyond your grasp. First, focus on tempering your Vital Qi.

Once your Vital Qi is sufficient, you can try circulating both techniques simultaneously. That's the impressive part of being a Sixth-Rank expert."

Qin Mo's mind stirred. Two internal techniques could be circulated at the same time? Just needed enough Vital Qi?

He felt like he'd just heard something incredible!

Yang Ling looked thoughtful: "Director Lu, do the two internal techniques need to be the same grade?"

"There's no such rule below Second-Rate. If you cultivate one Second-Rate and one Third-Rate technique, as long as you have enough Vital Qi and find the knack for simultaneous circulation between them, you can circulate energy with both at once."

"But First-Rate techniques are special. If you cultivate a First-Rate technique, you can no longer cultivate a Second-Rate one."

Lu Yunchen chuckled: "That's the nobility of First-Rate internal techniques. To them, everything below First-Rate is trash. They simply won't tolerate it."

Both Yun Ruo and Qin Mo showed a trace of emotion in their eyes.

First-Rate internal techniques were the most supreme techniques in the world, a rare and coveted find.

In the vast Zhao State, how many Martial Artists could actually cultivate a First-Rate internal technique?

Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He'd tried to cultivate the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra yesterday, and was rejected.

"Divine Realm" simply wouldn't let him train in that technique.

It said it conflicted with the Vajra Bright King Technique.

What Lu Yunchen was saying now confirmed exactly what he'd guessed.

First-Rate internal techniques were incompatible with anything below First-Rate.

"Director Lu, then if someone cultivates a Second-Rate technique first, doesn't that mean they lose the chance to cultivate a First-Rate technique later?"

Yang Ling couldn't help but ask again.

Lu Yunchen smiled: "Don't even talk about you. Even I don't have a chance to get my hands on a First-Rate technique.

But as far as I know, if you cultivate a Second-Rate technique first, you can actually cultivate a First-Rate one later.

It's just that the power of the Second-Rate technique will be devoured by the First-Rate technique. It ceases to exist!"

"Isn't that just inheriting the experience?"

Yang Ling's eyes flickered. He roughly understood what Lu Yunchen meant.

If you cultivated a Second-Rate technique first and then obtained a First-Rate one, the experience from the Second-Rate technique could be transferred over, probably calculated at a certain ratio.

Then the Second-Rate technique would vanish, leaving only the First-Rate one behind.

"Looks like, in my current situation, if I want to circulate two internal technique methods simultaneously, I'll still need a First-Rate internal technique."

Yang Ling thought to himself.

He couldn't cultivate the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra anymore.

Although the Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram and the Heavenly Will True Scripture were First-Rate internal technique methods,

These two were very special. They were mental-type techniques.

They didn't have a Boost attribute.

"By the way, the technique you're cultivating should be of the aggressive, forceful path."

"The Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra happens to be a similar path, suitable for you to cultivate simultaneously."

"If the paths of two techniques are too different, it's also very difficult to circulate energy with both at the same time."

Lu Yunchen continued: "For example, some internal technique methods take a nimble, dexterous route.

Then the second technique method must also follow that same route.

Otherwise, if you forcibly circulate both at once, you might end up with Qi deviation, and that would be a disaster."

Having said that, he couldn't help but laugh:

First-Rate internal techniques were the most top-tier techniques in the world, a rare and coveted find.

Some experts without backing, just to be able to circulate two techniques simultaneously, have to choose whatever technique they can find, regardless of its path.

Over time, even if they're lucky enough to avoid Qi deviation, it damages their foundation, robbing them of any chance to break through to a higher rank in the future."

Yang Ling's expression instantly turned serious.

This was critical information!

Qin Mo gasped sharply, memorizing this point firmly. Another incredible piece of news.

He never thought that just by staying by Yang Ling's side without doing anything, he'd already reaped the benefits of hitching a ride with a strong guy.

"Director Lu, I have one last question."

Yang Ling thought for a moment, then said.

Lu Yunchen frowned: "Why do you have so much bullshit to say? Hurry up and ask."

Yang Ling gave an embarrassed laugh: "In yesterday's assessment, I almost failed..."

Lu Yunchen understood, and couldn't help saying:

"No matter what happened in yesterday's assessment, you were going to make it anyway. The position of newly promoted Sixth-Rank was already set for you.

I didn't expect your methods weren't bad. You actually lit a fire under me, so I put in a bit more effort."

He paused, then continued: "But don't be discouraged. Lord Zhao Xun was right. It's because I was the one assessing you.

If it had been any other Lower Sixth-Rank, even if they went all out, I think you still would have met the standard."

Having said that, Lu Yunchen waved his hand:

"You all hurry back. I need to get back and handle the backlog of work from this period. I'll also need to thoroughly investigate that so-called Immortal God Sect."

Seeing this, Yang Ling and the other two immediately mounted their horses and set off for the Changhe Prefectural Capital.

The whole journey went smoothly. There were no unexpected detours and no trouble encountered.

When they were nearing the Changhe Prefectural Capital, Yang Ling started chatting with Yun Ruo.

As they talked, Yang Ling suddenly smiled:

"The Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra is a Second-Rate internal technique. Has no one ever chosen to secretly sell it?"

Yun Ruo gave Yang Ling a strange look:

"Wouldn't that be suicide? The buyer would be asking for death, and the seller would be asking for death too. The kind that gets your entire clan executed. Who would be that stupid?"

Yang Ling: "Yeah, that's what I was thinking."

Looks like the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra had to stay in his hands for now.

Not only could he not sell it to the "Divine Realm" Natives.

He couldn't give it to the players either.

If the information leaked, he'd probably face a fatal strike from the Ironclad Department.

Based on his current understanding of the Ironclad Department's methods.

Unless he ran all the way to the Rong tribe's territory, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
