I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely-Chapter 138 - 137: Subduing Kaya

Wu Dao Ming was clearly forcing Kaya on Xu Qing. When Xu Qing left the Martial Arts Hall, he had explicitly told Kaya to leave and return to Dao Ming Mountain.

However, just as Xu Qing walked out of the Martial Arts Hall, he was stopped by Wu Dao Ming, who had brought Kaya with him. The meaning was quite obvious: he wanted Kaya to follow Xu Qing.

"Master."

Kaya walked to Xu Qing’s side, acting very docile. Her stunningly beautiful features and face naturally evoked feelings of closeness and admiration. "Where are we going next? From this day forward, Kaya is Master’s servant."

"Just follow me."

Xu Qing’s tone was calm.

"Yes, Master."

Kaya said.

Half an hour later.

Xu Qing arrived at the courtyard residence that Elder Yan had already purchased. It was a siheyuan-style residence and had cost a considerable amount of silver, completely draining Xu Qing’s savings.

Fortunately, Kaya had financial support from Wu Dao Ming, so for the time being, Xu Qing no longer had to worry about running out of funds or lacking the money to buy Spiritual Food.

At the courtyard gate.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Xu Qing knocked on the gate.

"Young Master, you’ve returned."

Elder Yan opened the gate and looked somewhat emotional upon seeing Xu Qing.

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded.

"And this is?"

Elder Yan’s gaze fell on Kaya, who was standing beside Xu Qing.

"Good day, sir."

Kaya smiled, her expression naturally warm and inviting. She bowed slightly to Elder Yan and introduced herself, "My name is Kaya. I am the master’s servant."

"Young Master?"

Elder Yan looked at Xu Qing.

"Mm."

Xu Qing could only nod in confirmation.

"Hello."

Elder Yan recovered and gave Kaya a slight smile. "I am Yan Gu, the Young Master’s family servant."

After that, Xu Qing entered the courtyard. The residence wasn’t large, but it was enough for him to establish a foothold in Moon River Prefecture City. He took the master bedroom, while Yan Gu and Kaya occupied two separate side rooms.

’Martial Arts Baji Fist.’

In the courtyard.

Starting today.

Xu Qing could begin practicing the Martial Arts Baji Fist. With his current strength and Cultivation, he could complete a full set in ten minutes.

...

[Experience +1]

...

[Experience +1]

...

However, leveling up the Level 11 Martial Arts Baji Fist was not so easy. It required a full 10,000 Experience Points. Based on the fact that Xu Qing gained one point for every ten minutes of practice, even if he practiced the Martial Arts Baji Fist for sixteen hours a day, he would only gain a total of ninety-six Experience Points each day.

This meant that leveling up the Level 11 Martial Arts Baji Fist would take over a hundred days. That was indeed a long time.

"Huuuh..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, slowly concluding his Martial Arts Baji Fist practice. The mysteries and Spell Formulas of the Heavenly Peng Observation Method flowed through his mind.

The Heavenly Peng Observation Method consisted of 1,008 movements. Each movement had to be followed by Meditation, circulating True Qi throughout the body to refine it step by step and improve one’s Cultivation.

’The Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique are different,’ Xu Qing thought. ’They are legacy techniques that lead directly to the Extraordinary Extreme of the Second Realm. After being recorded, they start at Level 1, and leveling them up only requires one thousand Experience Points.’

’I can set aside the Martial Arts Baji Fist for now. In the time to come, I can practice the Celestial Roc Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique instead.’

At this thought, Xu Qing no longer hesitated.

"Celestial Roc Technique!"

BUZZ!

With a thought, Xu Qing’s body began to contort into one difficult pose after another. These movements were so twisted that no ordinary person could possibly perform them.

Time passed.

Ten minutes later.

"Huuuh..."

Xu Qing exhaled a breath of turbid air. He had completed one round of the Celestial Roc Technique.

[Experience +1]

Sure enough, he had gained one Experience Point.

"Good!"

A look of delight crossed Xu Qing’s face. ’Practicing the Heavenly Peng Observation Method also only takes ten minutes to complete a full set and earn one Experience Point.’

’This way, the Celestial Roc Technique can gain a level in about ten days.’

Of course, Xu Qing wasn’t only practicing the Celestial Roc Technique. Out of the twenty-four hours in a day, he spent eight practicing the Celestial Roc Technique and eight practicing the Celestial Sword Technique.

As for the remaining eight hours, which were late at night, Xu Qing used them to gain Experience Points for the Celestial Bridge Pill.

「Late at night, in the bedroom.」

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Xu Qing took out a Celestial Bridge Pill. This pill was still only Level 1. This time, however, he didn’t just want to raise it to Level 10; he wanted to push it beyond Level 10.

As long as he swallowed the Celestial Bridge Pill, it would gain one Experience Point per second.

Therefore, Xu Qing dedicated three hours every night to gaining Experience Points for the Celestial Bridge Pill. The rest of the time was spent practicing and meditating on the Devouring Demon Technique First Layer.

「Twelve days later.」

On this day.

In the morning.

"Huuuh..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a thought, his consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things, and lines of information appeared before his eyes.

...

[Celestial Roc Technique Level 1: 576/1000 (...)]

...

[Celestial Sword Technique Level 1: 576/1000 (...)]

...

[Devouring Demon Technique First Layer Level 5: 7500/8000 (...)]

...

[Celestial Bridge Pill Level 1: 129600/100 (Upgradeable!)]

...

Among the four main Martial Arts and items Xu Qing was currently upgrading, only the Celestial Bridge Pill had accumulated enough Experience Points—a total of 129,600.

"Upgrade the Celestial Bridge Pill!"

Xu Qing commanded.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!!!

And so, as the Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with fluorescent light, the Celestial Bridge Pill in Xu Qing’s hand flashed with white light nine consecutive times. The Level 1 Celestial Bridge Pill had now reached Level 10.

[Celestial Bridge Pill Level 10: 78500/51200 (This is an Elixir that has undergone the baptism of Celestial Thunder, cleansing it of all Evil Thoughts, Demonic Thought, Evil Qi, and Demonic Qi. Any Danjin Martial Artist who consumes this pill will instantly step into the Peak of Invulnerability. However, their Cultivation will be forever trapped at this peak, only able to break through by relying on similar elixirs. A drop of Essence Blood can be added, which the Elixir will absorb. Any other living being who consumes this pill will be controlled by the owner of the Essence Blood for all eternity and recognize them as their master.)]

’Good.’

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. ’This Celestial Bridge Pill is for Kaya. And Kaya is Wu Dao Ming’s servant, but I suspect she’s more than just a simple servant. She must possess considerable strength, I just haven’t been able to detect it yet.’

’So, I’m worried a Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill won’t be enough to completely affect Kaya.’

’To be safe, I should raise the Celestial Bridge Pill to Level 11.’

"Upgrade the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill."

Xu Qing commanded.

BUZZ!

The moment he spoke, the Encyclopedia of All Things glowed with an even more intense fluorescent light. The Celestial Bridge Pill in Xu Qing’s hand shimmered with a silver radiance as it underwent a further transformation.

SWOOSH!

This time, a series of images flashed before Xu Qing’s eyes. In these images, the Celestial Bridge Pill, which had already undergone the baptism of Celestial Thunder once, was now enduring it a second time. It absorbed the Creation of heaven and earth, resulting in an unprecedented transformation.

Finally, the images vanished.

[Upgrade Successful!]

[Celestial Bridge Pill Level 11: 27300/102400 (Building upon its original foundation, it has undergone a second baptism of Celestial Thunder and absorbed the Creation of heaven and earth. The Elixir is now marked with an Engraving of the Heaven and Earth Pill Pattern and contains the essence of the natural world. Whoever consumes this pill can immediately comprehend a Mental Realm of the natural world.)]

The Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill had transformed even further.

’Excellent.’

A smile touched Xu Qing’s lips; he was very pleased. After reaching Level 11, the Celestial Bridge Pill could even control someone at the Second Realm: Extraordinary. Only someone who had grasped True Intent could possibly suppress the pill’s Power.

’A Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill is more than enough,’

Xu Qing thought. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

「At noon.」

After finishing his practice of the Celestial Roc Technique, Xu Qing called Kaya over.

Of course, before this, Xu Qing had dripped a drop of his Essence Blood into the Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill.

The fusion was perfect.

"Master."

Kaya obediently came to Xu Qing’s side. "What are your orders?"

"Nothing much."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I recently acquired an elixir, but I’m not sure of its effects. So, I need you to test it."

"...I... I test the pill?"

She froze.

Her expression was stunned.

Kaya was truly stunned. She had never imagined that Xu Qing would actually ask her to test an elixir. This was completely beyond her expectations.

"That’s right."

Xu Qing nodded and took out the Celestial Bridge Pill. After so many transformations, its appearance had changed completely. It was devoid of any Evil Qi or Demonic Qi, looking like nothing more than an ordinary Treasure Medicine. Moreover, the elixir even had a Heaven and Earth Pill Pattern on its surface.

"This..."

Kaya was stunned once again.

Because she actually saw a Heaven and Earth Pill Pattern on the elixir Xu Qing had produced. And elixirs with such patterns were all incredibly rare Treasure Pills.

Such a Treasure Pill was extremely precious, worth a fortune.

"Master, this Treasure Pill is far too precious. Kaya is just a humble servant; I am not worthy of testing such a Treasure Pill."

Kaya said.

"Are you disobeying my command?"

Xu Qing frowned. "My master already said that I am your master and that you are to obey my commands. Besides, I need you to test the pill."

"Eat it!"

Xu Qing held out the Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill to Kaya.

"But..."

Kaya opened her small, rosy lips.

"Yes, Master."

Kaya was silent for a moment before she finally nodded. "Thank you, Master, for bestowing such a Treasure Pill upon me. Kaya is endlessly grateful. I kowtow in thanks for Master’s great benevolence."

Indeed, Kaya could not refuse.

"Huuuh..."

Kaya took a deep breath and accepted the Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill from Xu Qing’s hand.

At that moment, Xu Qing finally felt a trace of an Extraordinary aura from Kaya. She was inspecting the elixir to see if there was anything wrong with it.

Unfortunately for her, this was a Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill. After a full ten upgrades, it was already flawless. There was no way Kaya could see through it.

Not unless Kaya was a true Alchemy Grandmaster.

In the end, Kaya confirmed there was no problem.

She swallowed the Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill in her hand.

BOOM!!!

Instantly, the medicinal power of the Level 11 Celestial Bridge Pill dissolved, transforming into a torrential flood that surged through Kaya’s entire body.
