I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 71: Assisted Refining

On the second to last day of February.

Fang Yun came to see Steward Cai as agreed, to assist him in refining an Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

"Steward Cai."

"You’re here. Come with me."

"Okay."

Steward Cai had rented the number two high-grade Artifact Refining Room.

The refining of this Upper Grade Magical Artifact would be completed here.

"Fang Yun, my original idea was for you to learn something while assisting me in this artifact refining session. But now, it seems there’s very little you can learn from helping me," Steward Cai said to Fang Yun after they entered the number two high-grade Artifact Refining Room.

He stated his thoughts.

Especially recently, Steward Cai knew that Fang Yun had rented high-grade Artifact Refining Rooms many times and had refined quite a few Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

As Fang Yun became more and more proficient at refining Upper Grade Magical Artifacts and his knowledge grew, there was naturally less and less he could learn from him.

"So this time, I plan to use a new artifact refining technique I’ve learned to refine this Upper Grade Magical Artifact. Let’s see how much you can learn from it." Since Fang Yun could still assist him, he felt he had to make some kind of gesture.

"Using a new artifact refining technique can easily lead to problems during the process." Fang Yun advised Steward Cai against it.

’This Upper Grade Magical Artifact they’re refining definitely isn’t just for practice.’

"It’s fine. Don’t I still have you to help me?" Steward Cai said with a casual smile, which also showed his trust in Fang Yun.

With Fang Yun’s current skill in Artifact Refining, having him assist would be a huge help during the process.

"Alright, I’ll do my best throughout the entire process."

"That’s all I need to hear." Steward Cai nodded in satisfaction.

As he finished speaking, he had already taken out the materials needed for this artifact refining session.

The main Spiritual Material was the fangs of an adult Spring Thunder Leopard. There were several pairs, and the fangs had faint purple patterns on them, a natural marking of the Spring Thunder Leopard.

The auxiliary materials were all high-quality items used for refining Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, five different kinds in total.

Even with a normal refining process, these materials could produce a top-tier Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

Fang Yun estimated the cost of these materials. It was much higher than any of the Upper Grade Magical Artifacts he had refined before.

"Fang Yun, do you know how to process these auxiliary materials?"

"I do. Leave them all to me."

As he spoke, Steward Cai began processing the main material.

Fang Yun looked at the auxiliary materials and quickly got to work as well.

Originally, Fang Yun had wanted to do more during this refining session so he could earn more Talent Points.

But since Steward Cai had changed his mind and wanted to demonstrate a new artifact refining technique, Fang Yun decided to focus on learning this time.

"Fang Yun, come over and control the Earth Fire."

"Alright."

"I’m leaving the separate refining of the Northern Earth Jade to you." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"No problem."

...

With Fang Yun’s assistance.

The refining of this Upper Grade Magical Artifact took a day and a half to complete.

If Steward Cai had refined it by himself, it would have taken at least two days to finish this Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

The Upper Grade Magical Artifact took shape.

It was a milky-white dagger with purple patterns.

Because Steward Cai had used a new artifact refining technique, some problems arose during the process, but overall, it went smoothly.

"It’s done!"

Steward Cai was extremely excited when he saw the Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

He carefully examined the Upper Grade Magical Artifact that he and Fang Yun had refined together. After a long while, he finally looked at Fang Yun.

"Fang Yun, thank you for your timely reminders during the refining process. If I had kept making mistakes, we wouldn’t have been able to refine an Upper Grade Magical Artifact and would have had to settle for a Middle Grade one."

"I spent most of my time observing, so it was easier to spot problems," Fang Yun said nonchalantly.

"But you still have to be able to spot them in the first place."

Through this cooperative refining of an Upper Grade Magical Artifact, Steward Cai discovered that Fang Yun’s Artifact Refining Talent was even better than he had imagined.

Therefore, Fang Yun’s talent in Artifact Refining must surely surpass his Alchemy Talent.

Steward Cai became even more convinced of his opinion.

"Through refining this Upper Grade Magical Artifact, I’ve come to a conclusion."

"What conclusion?" Fang Yun asked.

"Your Artifact Refining Talent is definitely higher than your Alchemy Talent."

"..."

Fang Yun was a bit speechless, not knowing what to say.

’If I remember correctly, I’ve heard Steward Cai say that many times already.’

’I thought it was going to be some conclusion about artifact refining that I could learn from.’

’But it was just this.’

"Don’t you look at me like that, kid. I’m absolutely right. That old coot is the one who’s wrong."

Steward Cai put away the newly refined Upper Grade Magical Artifact. This item was the best proof of Fang Yun’s talent. The next time they argued, he could bring it out and shut the other person up.

The thought made Steward Cai even happier.

"As long as you’re happy."

Fang Yun still didn’t understand this kind of behavior.

And he didn’t try to understand either.

For him, the matter he had promised Steward Cai was finished, and today was also the last day of the month.

After leaving the number two high-grade Artifact Refining Room, Fang Yun quickly bid farewell to Steward Cai.

His mental state was a bit drained, but he could still go tend to his six acres of Qi Nourishing Grass.

By the time he finished tending to the six acres of Qi Nourishing Grass and returned to his residence, the sky had already grown dark.

By this point, Fang Yun was thoroughly exhausted.

After cooking and eating about three taels of Purple Corn, he went straight to bed.

When he woke up, feeling refreshed, it was already the middle of the night.

The previous month’s Talent Points settlement had already begun.

Fang Yun opened the light screen and looked.

Looking over this month’s settlement at a glance...

The bulk of the Talent Points came from Artifact Refining.

Refining a single Upper Grade Magical Artifact now earned him at least one hundred and sixty Talent Points.

If he named the magical artifacts he refined himself, the name would appear on the panel. If they weren’t named, only the artifact’s grade would be shown.

When he refined magical artifacts for others, it was naturally up to their new owners to decide on a name.
