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

Yang Ling ignored the other man, busying himself with arranging the fire oil.

After pouring the fire oil, Yang Ling thought for a moment, then took off everything he was carrying.

The Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe, the flying dagger belt, the Seventh-Rank Official Saber, the Seventh-Rank Qilin Boots, and the Seventh-Rank Ironclad uniform.

He wasn't sure whether his Flame Immunity skill would also protect all this equipment.

So leaving them aside was the safest bet.

Shen Shuyan's eyes flickered. "What exactly are you planning to do?"

Yang Ling crouched down to set down several wooden boxes. These were all filled with Foundation Consolidation Pills.

Then he picked up the wooden box containing the Spirit Nurturing Pills and took out a fire starter, ready to ignite the oil.

Shen Shuyan frowned slightly, a thought seemingly forming in his mind.

That thought instantly vanished from his mind.

"Don't overthink it. Even if I came in with nothing, one kick would still be enough to kill you."

Yang Ling said without looking back.

He had no need to worry about the injured Shen Shuyan.

Even if the other man was a Seventh-Rank, in Yang Ling's eyes, he was no different from the Tyrant Ghost Spider. He could be killed at will.

Little White had also come looking for him by now. Yang Ling told it to watch over his belongings, then used the fire starter to ignite the fire oil.

In an instant, flames shot up to the sky.

Half of the stone cavern was ablaze.

A scorching wave of heat rushed toward them, making Shen Shuyan involuntarily want to retreat.

Not to mention he was already injured—even in his prime, if he were drenched in fire oil, the only outcome would be death.

"Flame Immunity, activate."

Yang Ling willed it.

As the Flame Immunity skill activated, his Vital Qi began to slowly drain.

Yang Ling sensed a very peculiar power enveloping his body.

He tried stepping into the flames.

First his right foot. Hmm, not hot. No sensation at all.

Only then did Yang Ling quickly stride to the center of the blaze.

He could clearly feel the surrounding temperature was extremely high.

Yet at this moment, he felt no discomfort whatsoever. The only thing he needed to do was hold his breath.

He had just tried to take a breath, but couldn't draw in anything at all. The air at the fire's center had already been burned into a vacuum.

Shen Shuyan's jaw nearly hit the floor. His eyes were wide, fixed on Yang Ling moving freely within the flames, a flicker of terror flashing through them.

He could no longer see the other man's figure clearly, only a rough silhouette.

But he could be certain that the other party was taking no damage from the fire!

"What kind of cultivation technique is this?! Could it be from the Extreme Flame Sword Manor!?"

"Is he a disciple of the Extreme Flame Sword Manor!?"

Meanwhile, Yang Ling had already started consuming the Spirit Nurturing Pills.

[Please select the martial skill to increase proficiency]

[Boulder Crushing Fist]

[Dragon-Capturing Saber Technique]

[Ethereal Steps]

[Twelve Paths Vajra Legs]

[Heaven's Will Divine Blade]

It really worked!

A hint of a smile appeared in Yang Ling's eyes. "Heaven's Will Divine Blade."

In an instant, the proficiency of Heaven's Will Divine Blade began to skyrocket.

It quickly went from zero to 500!

Yang Ling continued consuming Spirit Nurturing Pills.

He swallowed twenty Spirit Nurturing Pills.

The proficiency of Heaven's Will Divine Blade finally broke through the 10,000 mark!

[Congratulations! Heaven's Will Divine Blade has advanced to Flawless Proficiency]

[Flawless Proficiency: Agility +24, Exclusive Skill: Fire Blade]

At this point, the one-minute mark was nearly up.

Yang Ling noticed his Vital Qi was dropping faster and faster. In less than a minute, his Vital Qi had plummeted from 1,500 points to just over 300!

This meant the temperature generated by the burning fire oil was almost at the upper limit of his Flame Immunity.

If the temperature were any higher, his Vital Qi wouldn't even be enough to sustain Flame Immunity for a full minute.

He might exhaust his Vital Qi in just a few dozen seconds!

Shen Shuyan was now staring fixedly at the figure within the flames.

The next moment, Yang Ling had already walked out of the fire.

Looking at Yang Ling, completely unharmed, not even a single strand of hair singed, Shen Shuyan's face was grim, a massive storm raging within his heart.

This guy's abilities far exceeded his imagination.

"I can swear! Even an upper Sixth-Rank martial artist would be burned alive in such an environment!"

Yang Ling glanced down at the underwear he was wearing. It, too, hadn't been burned.

This meant that as long as the Flame Immunity skill was active, the "Divine Realm" would judge anything related to him to also be in an immune state.

With this verification, next time he entered a similar environment, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

After dressing properly, Yang Ling took out a flying dagger.

"What exactly are you planning to do!?"

Shen Shuyan couldn't understand Yang Ling's actions.

Why start a fire?

Why walk into it?

Why take out a flying dagger now?

To kill him?

Was he going to demonstrate his immunity to fire and water before killing him?

The next moment, the flying dagger shot out.

It brushed past Shen Shuyan's head and embedded itself into the stone cliff behind him!

In an instant, a ball of flame exploded.

A crater about a foot in diameter was blasted out at the spot where the flying dagger had struck!

As for that ordinary flying dagger, it had already shattered, leaving only a few fragments.

In the process, these fragments flew in all directions, embedding themselves deeply into the ground!

"This…"

Yang Ling was stunned.

He hadn't expected the Fire Blade's power to be so ferocious!

"Heavenly Will Sect's… Fire Blade!?"

Shen Shuyan stared at this scene, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Ever since the Heavenly Will Sect was wiped out by the Ironclad Department Head of the Zhao State, who personally led the raid.

This martial art had been lost for many years. He never thought he would see it emerge again through Yang Ling.

"Everything he just did… was to train the Heavenly Will Sect's Fire Blade!?"

"So the training of the Fire Blade requires such an environment and conditions…"

After figuring everything out, Shen Shuyan's restless mood calmed down considerably.

He clasped his hands in a respectful bow. "Congratulations, Director Yang, on mastering your divine technique!"

"It's hardly a grand mastery."

Yang Ling snapped back to reality, offering a light, dismissive smile.

But the power of the Fire Blade had truly surprised him.

This single Fire Blade consumed 10 points of Vital Qi.

That was more than three times the Vital Qi cost of the Ice Blade.

But its might was indeed quite impressive.

"The Fire Blade ignites on impact and explodes on contact. That's basically like a directional grenade, isn't it…"

The smile on Yang Ling's face grew wider and wider.

This Heaven's Will Divine Blade technique was truly beyond his imagination.

Even now, at merely Flawless Proficiency, the Fire Blade had such power.

What about the Thunder Blade at Skilled level, then?

"What would a Transcendent-level Heaven's Will Divine Blade look like?"

"This martial art, I think it's more than worthy of being ranked among the First-Rate."

"The 'Divine Realm' judged it as a mere Second-Rate technique. Was it because of its training requirements and difficulty?"

Thinking along these lines, Yang Ling tested the Fire Blade a few more times before finally, satisfied, he picked up the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe.

"What is Director Yang doing?"

Shen Shuyan asked in a calm, measured tone.

Without a word, Yang Ling walked up to the Vermilion Gold Ore vein behind Shen Shuyan and began to chisel.

His current Strength and Agility caps had increased by a massive amount.

His speed in mining the Vermilion Gold Ore had improved tremendously.

In no time, Yang Ling had turned into a blur, frantically chiseling away at the ore.

Shen Shuyan stared blankly at the scene.

The other party was… mining!?

"What kind of strange hobby is this? A dignified Director of the First Division, Public Security Department, enjoys mining!? How much can this Vermilion Gold Ore possibly be worth?"

Shen Shuyan's expression grew more and more somber.

He suspected that the Director Yang he was currently dealing with might be a madman.

This type of person was the most terrifying—you could never predict what they would do next!

After thinking for a moment, Shen Shuyan sat down to the side and began circulating the Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Sutra to heal his injuries.
