I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 59: Reaching the Peak Again

December 18th.

Only a little over ten days remained until the end of the year.

Having spent the entire night cultivating without rest, Fang Yun slowly opened his eyes.

This was the longest he had ever cultivated with pills, spending more than half a day refining and absorbing nearly four Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills.

He expelled the remaining medicinal power of the Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills from his body.

’I’m at the peak of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.’

He hadn’t rested yesterday either, and the long cultivation session had left Fang Yun somewhat exhausted.

After reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, he fell straight asleep.

After a good rest, he could try to break through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer today or tomorrow, striving to reach that realm before the last ten days of December.

That way, he would exceed the goal he had set for himself.

He currently had one Lower Grade Qi Condensing Pill.

For Fang Yun, this was clearly not enough.

Around noon, Fang Yun woke up, first boiling himself some Purple Corn before heading to the Spirit Field to tend to the Qi Nourishing Grass.

After this careful tending of the Qi Nourishing Grass, the next time he would care for it would be after reaching the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

While Fang Yun was tending to the Qi Nourishing Grass, a senior brother at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer came over to chat for a bit.

This senior brother had come mainly to learn from his experience in planting Qi Nourishing Grass.

"Junior Brother Fang, your Qi Nourishing Grass is growing so well," the senior brother from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer began with a compliment.

He actually had much more he wanted to say about Fang Yun’s Qi Nourishing Grass, but it wasn’t appropriate to voice those thoughts.

He wanted to know how Fang Yun had managed to plant these Qi Nourishing Grass stalks without a single one withering so far.

It would have been one thing if Fang Yun was diligent in caring for the grass, but the key was that he wasn’t, and he never spent much time on it either.

As a cultivator at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer himself, he also tended to an acre of Qi Nourishing Grass. Not only was he far more diligent than Fang Yun, but he also spent a long time on each tending session. Even so, three of his Qi Nourishing Grass stalks had withered.

Mentioning withered plants was obviously bad luck.

So he didn’t bring it up in their conversation.

During their conversation, Fang Yun answered a few of the senior brother’s questions with what he knew, pointing out that much of the knowledge could be learned from books.

He couldn’t very well say that, most of the time, caring for plants was all about feeling.

With his three-star Planting Talent, he understood exactly what the Qi Nourishing Grass needed, which naturally made tending to it easy.

Even though he worked quickly, every tending was done with meticulous care.

’Done.’

With the last stalk of Qi Nourishing Grass tended to, Fang Yun prepared to head to Dan Cloud Peak.

As he was leaving the Spirit Field, Senior Brother Feng happened to finish tending his own Qi Nourishing Grass, so the two left together.

Senior Brother Feng was the stall owner he had met when he first bought Qi Nourishing Grass.

"I hear Junior Brother Fang has been making quite a name for himself over at Battle Peak." After they exchanged a few words about planting Qi Nourishing Grass, Senior Brother Feng brought up the matter of Battle Peak.

He had accidentally overheard that Fang Yun had become famous on Battle Peak and had gone to learn more about it.

He wouldn’t have been interested if it were any other junior or senior brother.

"It’s just some ordinary Magical Combat sparring."

Speaking of the Magical Combat sparring on Battle Peak, he had still only been defending, never attacking.

The senior brothers and sisters who sparred with him all treated him as a whetstone to sharpen their offensive techniques.

Some senior brothers and sisters at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer even made breaking his defense their personal goal. Recently, Fang Yun had also noticed a change in the way some Inner Sect disciples at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer looked at him.

If not for the two-minor-realm gap between them, they would have probably challenged him to a match, eager to break through his defense.

Since they all just requested to test their offensive techniques, Fang Yun felt it wasn’t right to attack them during their bouts.

"The Magical Combat sparring may be ordinary, but you, Junior Brother Fang, are anything but. Your defense is invincible within the same realm. None of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer disciples you’ve fought so far can do anything to you."

"I’d love to attack, too," Fang Yun said honestly.

The reputation he had built at the beginning had too great an impact on what came after.

"Hahaha, I’ve heard all about it. Every time you show up at Battle Peak, you get challenged immediately. Many disciples want to be the first opponent to break your defense."

Thinking about Fang Yun’s current situation, Senior Brother Feng found it quite amusing, though he was also impressed.

"They must be dying for you to visit Battle Peak more often, Junior Brother."

"Going two or three times a month to hone my skills is enough. I can’t put the cart before the horse." In his plans, he could only afford to spend that much time on it.

"True." Senior Brother Feng couldn’t help but nod as he thought about Fang Yun’s talents.

The Qi Nourishing Grass needed planting, pills needed refining, and he also had to refine some Magical Artifacts.

Suddenly, he felt that having too many talents, as Junior Brother Fang did, might not be a good thing, especially since his junior brother wanted to develop all of them comprehensively. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Given his relationship with Fang Yun, it wasn’t his place to advise him too much on this matter.

If he were in Fang Yun’s shoes, he would at most plant and care for Spirit Medicine and refine pills; he wouldn’t touch anything else.

But it was hard to say much about differences in philosophy.

Afterward, they went back to talking about planting.

The two walked together until they neared the Spirit Field Institute. After parting ways, Fang Yun headed for Dan Cloud Peak at top speed.

Arriving at Dan Cloud Peak, he stepped into the Dan Cloud Pavilion.

Upon seeing the familiar figure of Wang Yourong, Fang Yun quickly walked up to the counter.

"Senior Sister Wang, do you have any Middle Grade Qi Condensing Pills?" Fang Yun asked first.

As soon as Wang Yourong heard this, she immediately scanned Fang Yun’s current aura.

’He really is at the peak of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.’

"Junior Brother Fang, you must have refined and absorbed quite a few Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills."

"Yes."

For the sake of cultivation speed, it was difficult for him to accumulate a large number of Spirit Stones at this stage.

After buying the Middle Grade Qi Condensing Pills, the number of Lower Grade Spirit Stones he had would once again drop to a two-digit figure. However, this was all part of his plan.

He used his Spirit Stones according to a plan and wouldn’t let himself get into a situation where he had none left to use.

"Your Alchemy Talent is really amazing," Wang Yourong said with envy.

She was still a little surprised that Fang Yun had already cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. His cultivation speed was clearly much faster than she had expected.

Among the Cyan Jade Pills Fang Yun sold, there were Lower Grade and Middle Grade ones.

There were many Lower Grade pills and few Middle Grade ones. She originally thought that Fang Yun was cultivating with Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills, but that he must also be taking a fair number of Middle Grade ones.

Now it seemed that the number of Middle Grade Cyan Jade Pills Fang Yun consumed was definitely not high.

"You’re about to break through to the next realm, and Senior Sister Song has already broken through. Meanwhile, I’m still a long way from the Qi Refining Eighth Layer."

"Senior Sister Song is already at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer?"

"That’s right, didn’t you know?" Wang Yourong had assumed Fang Yun knew this. She quickly teased, "Junior Brother, you’re not paying enough attention to Senior Sister Song."

Higher realms undoubtedly required more time to accumulate power.

However, given Song Qiaoqiao’s background and talent, Fang Yun wasn’t too surprised that she had broken through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in less than half a year.
