I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 77: The Last Batch

After officially parting ways with Jiang Yan, Wu Junxin went to find Yao Shuixiao.

It was time to give her the gift he had prepared.

Yao Shuixiao lived in the Inner Sect A Zone.

Wu Junxin made his way to the residential area of the Inner Sect A Zone. He soon found himself before the door to room number twenty-four and knocked.

Based on what he knew of Yao Shuixiao, she should be at home cultivating right now.

A short while later, the door opened.

"Junior Sister Yao," Wu Junxin immediately called out upon seeing the beautiful woman who had opened the door.

The woman’s Inner Sect Disciple uniform was adorned with many small trinkets.

"Oh, it’s Senior Brother Wu. Come in," Yao Shuixiao said, her face breaking into a wider smile when she saw who it was.

As Wu Junxin entered, he was about to say something, but he swallowed his words when he saw someone else was in the room.

"Senior Brother Wu."

"Junior Sister Song, you’re here too."

Sitting inside the room was Song Qiaoqiao.

Wu Junxin knew that Song Qiaoqiao was on good terms with both Yao Shuixiao and Bai Qinying, but he himself was not too familiar with her.

He also knew that Song Qiaoqiao and Yao Shuixiao had become good friends after a childhood friend of his had refined some pills for Yao Shuixiao.

Not long after Wu Junxin came in, Song Qiaoqiao stood up.

"Senior Sister, I have some things to do, so I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, take care, Junior Sister."

Yao Shuixiao could tell from the expression on Song Qiaoqiao’s face that she was lying.

’"Things to do," she says. If Senior Brother Wu hadn’t arrived, she wouldn’t have had anything to do.’

Song Qiaoqiao was the great-granddaughter of a Supreme Elder. At first, Yao Shuixiao had thought Song Qiaoqiao was two-faced.

’How could a Supreme Elder’s great-granddaughter be so well-behaved?’

After getting to know her better, however, she realized that with Song Qiaoqiao, what you see is what you get.

"Well now, Senior Brother Wu, your arrival chased Junior Sister Song away. How are you going to make it up to me?"

After the door closed, Yao Shuixiao sat down next to Wu Junxin and spoke.

"Make it up to you? Of course."

Wu Junxin took out the gift he had prepared.

"Go on, Junior Sister. Open it and see what’s inside."

"Let’s see... Wow! This Magical Robe is gorgeous, and it’s even the level of an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact." Yao Shuixiao carefully examined every detail on the robe. "Senior Brother Wu, who refined this? Their craftsmanship is amazing! The attention to detail is just perfect!"

Seeing Yao Shuixiao so satisfied made Wu Junxin very happy as well.

After all, Yao Shuixiao had very discerning taste.

"I asked Junior Brother Fang Yun to refine it," Wu Junxin replied.

"So it was Junior Brother Fang."

"Since you know of Junior Brother Fang, I don’t need to say much more."

Originally, Wu Junxin had wanted to talk a bit about Fang Yun and give Yao Shuixiao a proper introduction.

"I was just chatting with Junior Sister Song, and she mentioned Junior Brother Fang, so I know a little. She said his Alchemy Talent is excellent and that he’s very diligent and hardworking. She didn’t say much about his Artifact Refining Talent, but now I see it for myself."

’Excellent Alchemy Talent and excellent Artifact Refining Talent... It’s rare to see a disciple with two such great talents.’

"If that’s all, then you really don’t know much about Junior Brother Fang." Wu Junxin felt he had a bit more insight into Fang Yun.

"Oh? It seems Junior Brother Fang has talents in other areas, but I’m not very interested." While chatting with Wu Junxin, Yao Shuixiao continued to admire the Upper-Grade Magical Robe in her hands. "During my chat with Junior Sister Song, I was thinking I might ask Junior Brother Fang to refine some pills for me in the future. But now... I think I’d rather ask him to refine artifacts instead."

"If you want to ask Junior Brother Fang to refine an artifact, just let me know. It will probably be difficult for you to approach him yourself." Speaking of this, Wu Junxin felt he had to emphasize this point.

"I’m his Senior Sister. If I ask him, could he possibly refuse?"

"He absolutely would. From what I know of Junior Brother Fang, he values his schedule very much. Even though I have a good relationship with him, I still have to ask if he has time."

"Does this have to do with his Spirit Root Talent?"

"I think so," Wu Junxin said, sharing his thoughts. "He only has Five Spirit Roots, but his ambitions for the future are anything but small."

She had chatted with Song Qiaoqiao about Fang Yun today.

Now she was chatting with Wu Junxin about him.

Without ever having met him, Yao Shuixiao’s impression of Fang Yun had become much more concrete.

Wu Junxin didn’t talk with Yao Shuixiao about Fang Yun for too long.

After all, he hadn’t come over to talk about other people. There were plenty of other things for the two of them to discuss.

...

「Late April.」

In a rented intermediate Alchemy Room on Dan Cloud Peak.

Fang Yun was refining Cyan Jade Pills.

As the pills emerged from the furnace, the result was the same as always: two Upper-Grade Cyan Jade Pills, one Middle Grade, and three Lower Grade.

’This is the last batch of Cyan Jade Pills.’

Fang Yun looked at the pills in his hand and muttered to himself.

Since purchasing thirty stalks of Cyan Spirit Flower, he had come to Dan Cloud Peak to rent an Alchemy Room fifteen times, and the Spirit Medicine was now all used up.

The Upper-Grade Cyan Jade Pills he now possessed were enough to support his cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, with probably ten or so left over.

When Fang Yun said this was the last batch of Cyan Jade Pills, it was possible this would be the last time he ever refined them.

After collecting all the Cyan Jade Pills, Fang Yun estimated a more specific timeframe for reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

If he timed his refinement and absorption of the Upper-Grade Cyan Jade Pills well, he could hopefully reach the peak of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer before June 10th.

All in all, he should reach the peak of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer around June 10th.

Before leaving the intermediate Alchemy Room, Fang Yun opened the light screen to take a look.

The sect interface hadn’t changed at all.

He hadn’t increased the sect’s influence in a long time.

As for his own reputation, it would be difficult to improve it further for now. The best way to increase the sect’s influence at this point was to raise his own Realm.

Once he broke through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, not only would his position in the sect change, but the sect’s influence should see a significant boost as well.

During the settlement at the beginning of the month, he had drawn for Combat Talents three times. He received one fragment for three different types of Combat Talents, with the Shield Talent fragment appearing on the second spin.

If the first two spins of the wheel hadn’t yielded a Shield Talent fragment, he would have stopped after drawing for Combat Talents twice.

Next, to fully upgrade his Combat Talents to three stars, he would need around 72,000 Talent Points.

Having stopped, Fang Yun switched to drawing for Life Talents as he had originally planned.

If his luck was good enough, he could upgrade all his three-star Life Talents to four stars for less than 36,000 Talent Points.

After upgrading his Shoe Talent to two stars, Fang Yun found that he spent even less time traveling.

Now, the Celestial Cloud Sect didn’t seem so large to him anymore; he could get to most places quite quickly.
