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

Inside the stone cavern, Yang Ling watched the golden light with an expectant expression.

Perhaps because the golden treasure chest was more precious, its transformation process was also relatively slow.

At this moment, the corpses of the two Tyrant Ghost Spiders were gradually disappearing.

After they vanished, each left something on the ground.

Equipment drops?

Yang Ling immediately stepped forward to check.

The first Tyrant Ghost Spider dropped a martial arts manual.

[Twelve Paths Vajra Legs (Second-Rate) (Prerequisite for Wind God Vajra Legs)]

The second Tyrant Ghost Spider dropped a ginseng plant. The ginseng was fiery red all over, faintly emitting a trace of heat.

"These... are all good things, right?"

Yang Ling found it somewhat hard to believe. The items dropped by these two Tyrant Ghost Spiders were extraordinary.

A second-rate martial arts manual—in the Zhao State, this was absolutely a priceless treasure!

He believed that even first-rate sects wouldn't possess many second-rate martial arts techniques.

"The Twelve Paths Vajra Legs is also a prerequisite martial art, just like the Thief-Capturing Saber Technique; it can advance."

A flash of joy crossed Yang Ling's eyes, and he immediately chose to learn it.

As a warm current flowed through his body, memories of the Twelve Paths Vajra Legs filled his mind.

A new entry also appeared on his Status Panel.

[Twelve Paths Vajra Legs]

[Beginner's Insight: +6 Strength]

[Comprehensive Mastery: +12 Strength]

[Flawless Proficiency: +18 Strength]

[Skilled: +36 Strength]

[Transcendent: +60 Strength, Additional Skill: Gold Shattering]

"It seems this is a leg technique focused on brute force. However, judging by the name of its subsequent advancement, Wind God Vajra Legs, it might focus on Agility."

Thinking of this, Yang Ling remembered he still had nineteen inferior-quality Spirit Nurturing Pills.

They could quickly elevate the Twelve Paths Vajra Legs to the Comprehensive Mastery realm.

"And this Fire Ginseng... what exactly does 'increase cultivation' refer to?

Level? Internal energy experience? Martial skill proficiency?"

Yang Ling looked at the Fire Ginseng in his hand, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

The ginseng was only palm-sized, but the system showed it was one hundred years old.

Having grown for a hundred years and still so small meant it was all essence.

"These are items dropped by level 100 bosses; they must be good stuff. I'll try them when I get back."

Carefully storing the Fire Ginseng, Yang Ling squatted before the interwoven golden light and waited quietly.

During this time, there were still noises coming from Little White's direction, as if it was still digging.

Yang Ling couldn't be bothered to check on it.

Roughly half an hour passed.

The golden light slowly dissipated, revealing a golden treasure chest before Yang Ling.

"It's here."

Yang Ling licked his dry lips and slowly opened the golden treasure chest.

Instantly, golden light surged towards his face, illuminating his entire visage with a dazzling golden glow.

Yang Ling couldn't help but squint his eyes. Only after the golden light faded could he clearly see the item inside the chest.

A picture.

What... is this!?

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment. It wasn't the martial arts manual he imagined, nor some Foundation Consolidation Pill, nor a weapon.

But a picture?

He picked up the picture, and the treasure chest immediately dissipated.

The picture depicted an ape, imitating a human sitting cross-legged.

Its hands were placed before its dantian, sunlight shone upon it, and it seemed golden mist was steaming from its body.

[Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram. Contemplate with this diagram to increase Spirit upper limit.]

[Cultivation Threshold: 30 Spirit]

The system information slowly appeared.

After reading it, Yang Ling's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

This is... a method to increase the Spirit upper limit!?

Is this a martial art!?

But the system didn't label what grade of martial art this was.

"Do you wish to contemplate the Divine Ape Visualization Diagram?"

"Yes!"

Yang Ling immediately chose yes.

In an instant, the Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram transformed into a streak of golden light, shot into the space between his eyebrows, and vanished.

Yang Ling suddenly felt a strange sensation.

He felt as if he had become the divine ape in the picture, currently sitting on the ground in contemplation.

He suddenly snapped back to reality and discovered he was already sitting cross-legged on the ground without realizing when, his posture exactly the same as that divine ape!

"It seems I've already comprehended the Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram!"

With a thought, Yang Ling immediately opened his Status Panel and checked the entry for the Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram.

[Divine Ape Contemplation Diagram]

[Beginner's Insight: Gain 10 Spirit]

[Comprehensive Mastery: Gain 20 Spirit]

[Flawless Proficiency: Gain 40 Spirit]

[Skilled: Gain 80 Spirit, Exclusive Skill: Object Control]

The attribute description stopped abruptly here.

However, Yang Ling's emotions were like surging waves, difficult to calm.

"This directly grants Spirit!? The second level increases Spirit by 20 points. Although that's fewer attribute points than the second level of the Vajra Bright King Technique gives, the second level of the Vajra Bright King Technique only gives 10 Free Attribute Points! This is 20 points!"

"The fourth level gives 80 Spirit points, plus an additional exclusive skill: Object Control."

Yang Ling murmured to himself; the literal meaning was too easy to understand.

Controlling objects from a distance!

Is this a martial art!?

He suddenly developed a new speculation about the upper limits of martial arts in the "Divine Realm."

"I've only recently entered the 'Divine Realm.' The strongest expert I've seen is merely Yun Ruo, who is at most seventh-rank."

"Those sixth-rank, fifth-rank, and even fourth-rank grandmasters probably possess methods that already surpass the mundane."

Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel his spirits surge.

Initially, he only strived to survive well in the Divine Realm, hoping to return to reality one day.

But now, everything he had experienced was gradually changing his original intention.

"Survive well, then grow stronger! See how beautiful the highest scenery of this game truly is."

Now, with no worries about food, drink, or livelihood, he didn't need to cultivate in constant fear every day. He could completely calm his mind and diligently hone his martial path!

At this moment, Little White suddenly flew over, tugging at Yang Ling's pant leg.

"Did you find something good?"

Yang Ling followed it with a half-smile.

The result was a wall completely covered in Vermilion Gold appearing before his eyes.

A huge chunk of Vermilion Gold!

How big exactly? He had no idea!

"You've been at it all this time, using Gold Seeking!? I thought you were trying to find us a way out!"

Yang Ling was both annoyed and amused.

Little White seemed not to understand and instead looked like it was seeking praise.

"Alright, go eat the insect pupae over there. You can level up."

Yang Ling waved his hand, and Little White immediately began feeding!

"This chunk of Vermilion Gold... is huge. It can save the effort of using Gold Seeking and is perfect for rushing levels."

After observing for a while, Yang Ling decided to come here next time he wanted to rush levels.

He could also bring Wu Xiaochen and the others here.

Such a large chunk, who knows how big it is inside? It's enough for all of them to level up together.

"I've already gotten the first-place reward for level 30. There's no need to rush now. I should let Lin Caiyi and the others level up first."

After about the time it takes to eat a meal, Little White was full. Yang Ling didn't waste the remaining insect pupae. Instead, he took Little White and quickly left the place.

Along the way, he greeted Chen Xu and the others, telling them to continue mining, while he returned to his residence.

He first took four inferior-quality Spirit Nurturing Pills to elevate the Twelve Paths Vajra Legs to Comprehensive Mastery.

He didn't plan to keep the remaining fifteen pills either.

Even if he obtained more martial arts later, he wouldn't learn them.

There simply wouldn't be time to cultivate them all.

So, he used these fifteen pills to increase the proficiency of the Twelve Paths Vajra Legs.

He didn't know how much time passed. After consuming the last inferior-quality Spirit Nurturing Pill, Yang Ling immediately opened his Status Panel:
