Fantasy: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

 “I should have thought of it earlier.”

“The secrets discovered in the mine can make people feel murderous, and even make people take risks, even if they don’t hesitate to design and kill three defenders, they must be of extremely amazing value.”

Mi Wenjie looked confused, looked at the distant sky, and spoke leisurely.

“I like to read miscellaneous books, and I have dabbled in all kinds of knowledge, whether it is food, architecture, medicinal materials, minerals, etc., I know a little bit about it.”

“I once read in an ancient book that there are associated minerals in many mineral veins, and among the several common associated minerals in hematite veins, one is called pyrometite.”

“It is said to be common, not because there are many, but because pyrometite is too rare and appears very rarely. According to books, about half of its occurrences are associated with hematite veins.”

“The Fire Cloud Iron Mother is a rare treasure. A piece the size of a palm weighs a hundred catties and is worth ten thousand taels of gold and one million taels of silver!”

Mi Wenjie said, his tone couldn't help but become excited.

 In this world, the main currencies in circulation are gold and silver.

As for cultivation, what you cultivate is resources, and what you cultivate is money.

 One million taels of silver is an extremely astonishing amount of wealth for any warrior in the True Qi Realm.

 Jiang Heng was also shocked.

 He habitually compared and converted it with the currency of the previous life. One million taels of silver was equivalent to the purchasing power of one billion in the previous life.

 Don’t look at the fact that when he won the outer sect competition before, the reward was as high as about 200 million.

But that was the reward for the top genius among the nearly 10,000 outer disciples in the entire Eighth Peak, and it was increased tenfold by the sect leader to achieve such an exaggerated amount.

Even if an ordinary outer sect disciple regularly performs tasks, after excluding the consumption of cultivation, the contribution points he can save are only a few hundred taels of silver converted into money.

Although Jiang Heng has never been in contact with the inner disciples, it is unlikely that there will be many of them.

 “It’s just a piece of metal the size of a palm? Is it so expensive?”

 He asked subconsciously in surprise.

Mi Wenjie shouted excitedly:

“Of course! Fire Cloud Iron Mother, that is the main material for casting spiritual weapons!”

“Spiritual weapon, that is a powerful weapon that only warriors at the fourth level of martial arts—Linghai level or above are qualified to use!”

“Elders, what do you rely on to fly with swords? They have spiritual weapons!”

“The Spirit Sea Realm possesses a strength that is absolutely superior to that of the Xiantian Realm. It is even enough to sweep through countless Xiantian Realms like chopping melons and vegetables. Among them, spiritual weapons are definitely a very important reason.”

 “Once the spiritual weapon is released, no one can stop it!”

“Ordinary weapons and treasures are all **** in front of it!”

“Do you think Huoyun Iron Mother is expensive?”

Jiang Heng's face regained his composure. Looking at the excited Mi Wenjie, he frowned:

“You thought of it based on the physical signs of the miners?”

 When it came to business, Mi Wenjie slowly began to regain his composure.

“Yes, Fire Cloud Iron Mother is a spiritual material that contains extremely terrifying scorching energy. Warriors in the physical realm will be burned if they come into direct contact with it. In the mortal realm, the heat energy will invade the body, causing a variety of physical injuries.”

“The skin was burned, the blood was hot, and even a large amount of blood in the body evaporated, etc. All the signs were very similar to those recorded in the books, plus it happened to be inside hematite.”

"If it is the Fire Cloud Iron Mother, all the previous conjectures will make sense."

“Five miners accidentally discovered pyrophores in the mine. After reporting the matter, it immediately attracted Gu Taiping’s attention.”

“Gu Chengping secretly imprisoned five insiders and prepared to swallow Huoyun Tiemu privately.”

Mi Wenjie pondered for a moment, continued to conceive of the subsequent plot in his mind, and then said:

"It must have been known by a certain garrison and they were planning to join forces to rob it. Gu Chengping agreed on the surface, but in fact he still wanted to rob it alone, so the robbery and murder occurred."

 Jiang Heng suddenly said:

“It should be fine in general, but there’s one thing that’s a little wrong.”

“Gu Chengping’s strength is obviously not enough to kill the defenders, so he must have an accomplice.”

"Since he has accomplices, he can get benefits by cooperating with his accomplices, and he can also get benefits by cooperating with the garrison."

“If it were to divide the interests, there would be no need for him to take such a big risk to kill the defenders.”

“Unless the garrison wants to take it all for himself, or only gives Gu Chengping some soup, which will cause Gu Chengping’s dissatisfaction and lead to murderous intentions.”

“All this is because the defenders are too greedy, am I right? Gu Chengping!”

Their eyes fell on Gu Chengping under the courtyard wall at the same time.

 “That’s right…”

　　Gu Chengping slowly sat up from the ground, his head lowered and his voice low.

“It’s all Zhang Lei’s fault that he’s too greedy!”

"The Fire Cloud Iron Mother is worth ten thousand gold, but he only gave me a thousand taels of silver! Only one thousandth of it!"

"Why? I discovered it! It's mine! He just happened to know it and wanted to keep it for himself!"

“You disciples of the sect do whatever you want and behave tyrannically, without caring about anyone at all.”

Gu Chengping raised his head and roared at Jiang Heng and the others.

What he had done was exposed, and he knew that he had no way to survive, so he no longer cared about his fear of the sect disciples and vented loudly.

Jiang Heng sneered.

“You have to understand that the mine is the property of Daluo Sect.”

"And, you discovered it? It was clearly discovered by the five miners, right?"

“I didn’t see you giving them a few taels of silver, but you killed them all. Compared with this, Zhang Lei is willing to give you a thousand taels of silver, which is already very generous.”

“You’re not satisfied with a thousand taels of silver? Who is to blame for the situation you’re in now?”

"You are like this, and Zhang Lei is like this, both of them deserve to die."

　　Gu Taiping froze for a moment and stopped talking.

“Who is your accomplice? Where is Fire Cloud Iron Mother?”

Jiang Heng continued to ask.

 Gu Chengping remained indifferent, as if he was sure that he would die, so he simply broke the jar and threw it.

Jiang Heng sighed.

“Originally, I wanted to leave it to the sect to deal with it so that you can go on your journey with peace of mind. It seems that you want to find some trouble for yourself.”

Jiang Heng walked forward step by step, and the sound of "ta-ta-ta-ta" rhythmically reached Gu Chengping's ears, bringing heavy psychological pressure to him.

 He walked up to Gu Chengping and looked down from a high position.

"I ask you again, who is the accomplice? Where is the Fire Cloud Iron Mother?"

Jiang Heng’s cold and stern voice echoed in Gu Taiping’s heart like a biting cold wind.

"bump!"

Jiang Heng suddenly kicked Gu Chengping on the chin, sending his body flying several meters high from the ground.

  The thick mixture of saliva and blood flew out of the mouth unconsciously, drew a regular arc, and sprinkled into the air.

 After traveling to this world, the memory and world view of the young Jiang Heng were integrated. Coupled with his growing strength, Jiang Heng's behavior was completely different from his previous life.

Whether it was before, Gu Chengping was beaten violently without evidence, or now, he was violently beaten to obtain the information he wanted.

This kind of behavior, according to Jiang Henglai's evaluation in his previous life, was obviously too violent and cruel.

 Different from the rule of law society in the previous life, this world is a typical one where martial arts is supreme and the strong are respected.

The bottom line Jiang Heng sticks to in his heart is not to kill innocent people indiscriminately or bully the weak.

Those like Gu Chengping, who kill people wantonly for their own selfish interests, do not need to talk about morality.

 In one sentence, if you don’t obey, I will beat you until you obey!
