I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 325 - 269: Grim Situation (2)

As both sides were fiercely arguing their points,

Miao Qinghong suddenly spoke up.

"Elder Fang, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

As soon as she said this, almost every Elder turned to look at Fang Yun, and Bai Qinying, who was beside him, was no exception.

Fang Yun, who had just finished contemplating, was slightly taken aback by Miao Qinghong’s request for his opinion.

After all, he wasn’t an Elder of Battle Peak, so when he attended their meetings, he rarely spoke—just as he did when attending meetings at Dan Cloud Peak.

But even though he didn’t speak, Fang Yun knew his words carried great weight.

This wasn’t him being overconfident.

It was his influence within the sect that told him his words carried significant weight.

If the other Elders could see their own influence in the sect, the most influential among them would probably have around sixty-odd percent, making it difficult to surpass seventy percent.

"I believe that since the Demon Spirit Sect has decided to openly support the Celestial Demon Sect, we should just deal with the Demon Spirit Sect the same way we deal with the Celestial Demon Sect."

Fang Yun had listened to both arguments, so he proposed a compromise.

Inside the conference hall, most of the Elders nodded slightly, feeling that what Fang Yun said was reasonable.

The two factions that had just been fiercely arguing...

One side felt that using only a small force against the Demon Spirit Sect was insufficient, so treating the Demon Spirit Sect like the Celestial Demon Sect was acceptable.

The other side believed that dedicating a large portion of their forces to deal with the Demon Spirit Sect was a foolish decision, but an equal allocation of strength was acceptable. Coming from Fang Yun, this was even more palatable.

In the conference hall, there was also a newly promoted Elder who unconditionally stood with Fang Yun. Though his words held little sway, after becoming an Elder, he learned that if it weren’t for Fang Yun, he would never have been able to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill to aid his breakthrough, no matter how many Contribution Points he had.

At this point, Fang Yun paused to see the reactions of the various Elders.

He wasn’t finished speaking.

What he was about to say next was his main point.

As he was about to continue, his head was already turned toward Miao Qinghong.

"Elder Miao, I hope that when a support mission comes up, you can notify me first. If I’m busy with Alchemy or Artifact Refining and don’t have the time, then you can assign the mission to another Elder. Any support mission an Elder from Battle Peak can take, I can take as well."

"Alright." Miao Qinghong agreed with a nod, barely needing to think about it.

She felt it was completely normal for Fang Yun to say such a thing.

Even though he wasn’t an Elder of Battle Peak, Fang Yun was extremely proactive when it came to dealing with Demons. If he weren’t, he wouldn’t have single-handedly wiped out two of their Foundation Establishment Influences.

"Thank you."

Fang Yun expressed his thanks and then fell silent.

He had achieved his goal.

"As expected of Elder Fang."

"This is just Elder Fang’s style."

"Indeed, hahaha."

After Fang Yun went quiet, the other Elders began to speak.

When Fang Yun said he could take any support mission that a Battle Peak Elder could, it implied that he could even take missions that Miao Qinghong herself could handle.

Even though Fang Yun was only at the Middle-stage of Foundation Establishment, none of the Battle Peak Elders thought his words were arrogant. His track record had already proven he had the right to say them.

If anyone else could infiltrate a Demon Foundation Establishment Influence and kill one Late-stage, two Middle-stage, and two Early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons, they too could speak with such confidence.

While Battle Peak was holding its Elders’ meeting...

On the other side.

Bai Heyan went to see Sect Leader Duan Qingyun again.

These past few days, Bai Heyan had been visiting the Sect Leader more frequently than ever.

Seeing that his visitor was Bai Heyan, Duan Qingyun immediately knew why he was there.

"Elder Bai, Elder Fang should have finished refining the ten batches of Five Qi Chao Ling Pills."

"Yes, Sect Leader. All ten batches have been refined. The latest result is from the tenth batch: Elder Fang Yun refined a total of two Middle Grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pills. The rest were Lower Grade."

"When it comes to Alchemy, Elder Fang’s rate of improvement is truly fast. If he had another twenty or thirty sets of Spirit Medicines for the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, he could probably refine Upper Grade ones."

"That’s hard to say."

Compared to Sect Leader Duan Qingyun, Bai Heyan had a better understanding of Fang Yun’s situation.

Compared to when he was refining Second Tier pills, Fang Yun’s rate of improvement had already slowed down considerably.

Bai Heyan knew this was related to Fang Yun’s Realm. After all, not only was Fang Yun currently at the Middle-stage of Foundation Establishment, but he had also only just recently reached it. If Fang Yun were at the Late-stage of Foundation Establishment, or even the Peak of Foundation Establishment, the situation might be different.

At that point, he would dare guarantee that if Fang Yun were given the chance to refine another twenty or thirty batches of Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, he would definitely produce an Upper Grade pill.

"We’ll find out later. Elder Bai, how much longer until Elder Fang can refine the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills again?"

"About fifteen years," Bai Heyan replied.

According to his knowledge, the next batch of Spirit-towarding Roots could be harvested in about fifteen years.

"Fifteen years. Acceptable."

Now, whenever Sect Leader Duan Qingyun spoke, his face was wreathed in smiles.

He was in an excellent mood.

If they had given ten sets of Spirit Medicines for the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills to the Elder of Alchemy from the Purple Mist Sect for refining, even though there would be no extra fee, they would have only received thirty Lower Grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pills in return.

But now, their own Celestial Cloud Sect’s Elder Fang Yun had not only refined forty-seven Lower Grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, but also five Middle Grade ones.

Duan Qingyun didn’t plan to use any of these Five Qi Chao Ling Pills himself.

He was already at the Middle-stage of Core Formation, and the pills were more effective for Early-stage Core Formation Cultivators.

With the help of these Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, the three Supreme Elders in the sect would be able to reach the peak of Early-stage Core Formation more quickly.

Among the three Supreme Elders, the one closest to the peak of Early-stage Core Formation was Zhong Yankun.

Using a few Middle Grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, Zhong Yankun could perhaps reach the peak of Early-stage Core Formation within five years.

「One month later.」

In Fang Yun’s cave manor on Artifact Casting Peak.

At this very moment, Fang Yun was in the middle of cultivating.

In the single month since his return from Battle Peak, there had already been three support missions.

He had been notified of these missions immediately, but he was either busy with Alchemy or Artifact Refining, so he hadn’t been able to accept any of the three.

After the mission information was sent to him, if he didn’t reply within ten breaths, the mission would be assigned to an Elder from Battle Peak.

Three support missions requiring a Foundation Establishment Elder in just one month was enough to show how grim the current situation was.

Previously, within the sect’s territory, the main focus of defense was against the Celestial Demon Sect. Now, they had to be on high alert against the Demon Spirit Sect as well. In comparison, the Black Ghost Cave situation seemed much better.

In recent years, the Ghost Cultivators of the Black Ghost Cave hadn’t caused any trouble, and there hadn’t been any conflicts with them.

This was already good news.

As Fang Yun was cultivating, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared before him.

Fang Yun stopped cultivating and, without the slightest hesitation, received the information within the spiritual light.

The fourth support mission. He had finally caught one.

As long as a support mission arrived while he was cultivating or reading, he could accept it normally.

After absorbing the message, Fang Yun quickly sent a reply.

’This is a good support mission.’

According to the brief information he had just received, help was needed to deal with a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon.

A single Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon provided a base of 270,000 Talent Points.

If he could kill this Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon, even if he did nothing else this month, his total Talent Points at the start of next month’s settlement would easily break one million.

The spiritual light didn’t contain much information. Next, he would have to go to Battle Peak to get more details before rushing to provide support.

Leaving his cave manor, Fang Yun arrived at Battle Peak with extreme speed.

The one who had sent him the message was the second-in-command of Battle Peak, Bai Qinying’s master.

"Fang Yun, your speed is truly incredible."

Feng Tianrui was stunned by Fang Yun’s sudden appearance before him.

Before he saw Fang Yun, he hadn’t sensed his aura or detected any fluctuations in Spiritual Power.
