I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 74: Supreme Profound Mountain Range

「Mid-March.」

Fang Yun had finished refining all ten of the Magical Artifacts he had accepted commissions for.

He currently had two Magical Artifacts that had not yet been delivered.

These Sect Disciples had all chosen to come pick up their Magical Artifacts from him directly, saving them the extra delivery fee.

KNOCK KNOCK—

A knock sounded at the door.

Fang Yun assumed it was the Senior Brother for the ninth Magical Artifact, here to pick up his Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

He opened the door and saw that he was mistaken.

"Senior Brother Wu," Fang Yun said, surprised.

"Junior Brother Fang."

"Please come in, Senior Brother."

After Wu Junxin entered, Fang Yun showed him to a seat.

Then, Fang Yun sat down across from him.

"What can I do for you today?" Fang Yun asked directly after sitting down.

"I’ve come to ask you to refine an Upper Grade Magical Artifact. I was wondering if you have the time?"

The Magical Artifacts Fang Yun refined were of excellent quality. This was something he had verified himself in Magical Combat practice, and the other Senior Brothers and Sisters who had sought him out for refining had verified it as well.

Now, even when Fang Yun refined Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, the quality was impeccable. And for Middle Grade Magical Artifacts, not only were his prices reasonable, but the finished products were always masterpieces.

"Senior Brother, you want an Upper Grade Magical Artifact..."

Fang Yun looked at Wu Junxin, a bit uncertain.

Wu Junxin was at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer and ranked seventh on the Inner Sect Ranking.

’A disciple like that shouldn’t be lacking an Upper Grade Magical Artifact. Even if he was short on artifacts, he should be looking for a peak-grade one, right?’

A peak-grade Magical Artifact was the product of a semi-failed attempt at refining a Spiritual Artifact.

Fang Yun didn’t want to be able to refine peak-grade Magical Artifacts, because that would mean that when he refined Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts in the future, his attempts would be half-failures and half-successes.

"It’s not for me. It’s a gift I’m preparing for someone," Wu Junxin explained simply.

Fang Yun sized up Wu Junxin.

’A gift for someone... An Upper Grade Magical Artifact!’

Then, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

He didn’t pry into the specifics of who Wu Junxin’s gift was for.

"So, do you have the time, Junior Brother?" Wu Junxin repeated his earlier question.

"Since you’re the one asking, Senior Brother, of course I have time." For Fang Yun, this was a simple matter.

Considering his relationship with Wu Junxin, he had no reason to refuse.

"What’s the main material for the Magical Artifact?" It was Fang Yun’s turn to ask.

"Well... I haven’t prepared it yet."

"..."

"I mainly wanted to see if you were free first so that I could go and prepare it." Seeing Fang Yun’s expression, Wu Junxin smiled a little sheepishly and explained.

"That works too. Whenever you have the main material for the Magical Artifact ready, Senior Brother, just bring it to me."

"Thank you for understanding, Junior Brother."

KNOCK KNOCK—

Just then, there was another knock on the outer door.

’This should be the Senior Brother coming to pick up his Magical Artifact.’

Just as Fang Yun thought, the Senior Brother for the ninth Magical Artifact had arrived at the appointed time.

"Junior Brother Fang."

"Senior Brother, here is your Upper Grade Magical Artifact."

After delivering the Magical Artifact, another sum of Spirit Stones was added to his account.

This Senior Brother had originally wanted to chat with Fang Yun a bit to get on better terms, but when he saw that the person sitting in the room seemed to be Senior Brother Wu Junxin, he left immediately.

As for Wu Junxin, he chatted with Fang Yun for half a quarter hour before leaving, not wanting to disturb him for too long.

Besides, he had his own things to do.

Now that Fang Yun had agreed to help him refine an Upper Grade Magical Artifact, he had to go prepare the main material for it.

Wu Junxin already had an idea of what to use as the main material.

He had also gathered the relevant information.

Now, he had to leave the Celestial Cloud Sect and make a trip outside.

「One hour later.」

Fang Yun’s figure appeared in the Spirit Fields.

Today was also the day he had arranged to meet with Senior Brother Che Junfei.

He was to purchase thirty stalks of Cyan Spirit Flower.

A few days ago, while buying the auxiliary Spiritual Materials needed for the last Magical Artifact, he had also purchased the thirty sets of auxiliary Spirit Medicines for refining the Cyan Jade Pill.

At this moment in the Spirit Fields, Fang Yun saw a Steward harvesting Cyan Spirit Flowers from the plot tended to by Che Junfei.

He could tell at a glance that the superior and good quality Cyan Spirit Flowers were already gone.

The Steward was now harvesting the remaining inferior-quality Cyan Spirit Flowers.

Once the Steward had collected a sufficient number of Cyan Spirit Flowers, Che Junfei would have completed his task.

"Senior Brother Che."

"Here, Junior Brother Fang, these are the thirty stalks of Cyan Spirit Flower."

Che Junfei had seen Fang Yun approaching long ago. After the Steward left, he skillfully harvested the remaining Cyan Spirit Flowers.

"How many Lower Grade Spirit Stones?" Fang Yun asked the price.

"How about one hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones?" Che Junfei had already lowered the price a bit.

"Deal."

"You’re very straightforward, Junior Brother." Seeing Fang Yun take out the corresponding number of Spirit Stones, Che Junfei smiled.

When he had named that price, he had still left some room for Fang Yun to haggle.

The fact that Fang Yun didn’t try to haggle further was naturally a welcome outcome for him.

The transaction was complete, and the thirty stalks of Cyan Spirit Flower were in his hands.

Leaving the Spirit Field area, Fang Yun planned to first tend to his six acres of Qi Nourishing Grass before heading to Dan Cloud Peak to rent an Alchemy Room and refine the Cyan Jade Pills.

...

「The Supreme Profound Mountain Range.」

This was the closest mountain range to the Celestial Cloud Sect, and also the largest one within the sect’s sphere of influence.

It was a gathering place for Demon Beasts, and the core region was home to even more dangerous Demon Beasts of the Core Formation Stage—it was extremely perilous!

To Cultivators, Demon Beasts were a type of resource. The danger came with high rewards, and if one was lucky enough to find wild Spirit Medicine suitable for cultivation, they would hit the jackpot.

After leaving the Celestial Cloud Sect, Wu Junxin headed straight for the Supreme Profound Mountain Range.

His objective was to kill an adult Flower Charm Deer.

He planned to use the hide of the Flower Charm Deer to make a Magical Robe, which would not only look good but also have decent defensive properties.

Fang Yun had already agreed to perform the Artifact Refining for him.

Whatever design he wanted for the Magical Robe, he was confident that Fang Yun could meet his requirements.

The Cultivators who had mapped the area had roughly divided the Supreme Profound Mountain Range into three zones: the outer region, the inner region, and the core region.

Qi Refining Stage Cultivators were advised not to enter the inner region, as it was highly likely they would encounter Demon Beasts at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The outer region wasn’t completely safe either; it was still possible to run into a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast, though the chances were slim.

Wu Junxin had already obtained information on the general area where Flower Charm Deer were active in the outer region of the Supreme Profound Mountain Range.

「On his fourth day in the Supreme Profound Mountain Range.」

Wu Junxin felt his luck was pretty good.

At this very moment, the corpse of an adult Flower Charm Deer lay beside him.

A normal adult Flower Charm Deer possessed strength equivalent to a Cultivator at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

An ordinary Qi Refining Tenth Layer Cultivator would struggle to kill an adult Flower Charm Deer, but for him, it had been relatively easy.

How could he have made it into the top ten of the Inner Sect Ranking without some real power?

"Time to head back."

After stowing the Flower Charm Deer’s corpse, Wu Junxin dealt with the smell of blood on him and then left the area.

On his way out of the Supreme Profound Mountain Range.

He, who had been moving at full speed, suddenly slowed down.

He sensed fluctuations of Spiritual Power and Demon Power to his side.

And that Demon Power... it wasn’t pure Demon Power!
