I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 84: Inner Sect Disciple
"What did you say? Junior Brother Fang has already broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!"
"What do you mean, Junior Brother Fang? We should call him Senior Brother Fang now."
"I know, I was just surprised. Senior Brother Fang broke through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer much faster than I expected. The six acres of Qi Nourishing Grass he’s tending to haven’t even matured yet, and he’s already at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer."
"I remember when Senior Brother Fang first came here to tend the Qi Nourishing Grass, he was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer."
Not long after Fang Yun finished tending the six acres of Qi Nourishing Grass and left the Spirit Field, news of his breakthrough to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer had already spread.
Compared to when he reached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, the news spread much faster this time.
Even the disciples in the area tending Qi Nourishing Grass who hadn’t paid him any special attention might not have known when he reached the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, but they all knew when he broke through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
’Has it even been half a year since Fang Yun went from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer to the Seventh?’
After leaving the Spirit Field, Fang Yun headed for the Celestial Cloud Pavilion on Cloud Summit at top speed.
After registering at the Celestial Cloud Pavilion, he could complete the transition from an Outer Sect Disciple to an Inner Sect Disciple.
"Steward, I’ve reached the late stage of Qi Refining."
Fang Yun, dressed in the robes of an Outer Sect Disciple, immediately released his aura the moment he appeared at the Celestial Cloud Pavilion to register.
Seeing that Fang Yun was at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, the Steward simply remarked, "Already broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer? That was fast." He didn’t seem very surprised.
The stewards at the Celestial Cloud Pavilion had a basic understanding of this particular disciple, Fang Yun.
Aside from Fang Yun’s own reputation within the Celestial Cloud Sect, an Elder had also instructed them to take note of when he broke through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
"Fang Yun, give me your Token first."
"Yes."
After acknowledging, Fang Yun removed the Outer Sect Disciple Identity Token from his waist.
After taking the Token, the Steward spent some time converting the information on it.
Once the conversion was complete, the Steward handed Fang Yun a brand-new Token.
"Here you go. And this is the Inner Sect Disciple’s attire."
With the new Token hanging from his waist and the Steward’s registration complete, Fang Yun was now, officially, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Celestial Cloud Sect.
As Fang Yun accepted the Token and picked up the Inner Sect Disciple attire from the desk, he also opened his light screen.
He glanced at the Sect interface.
As expected, it had changed.
[Celestial Cloud Sect]
Sect Level: 3
Sect Position: Inner Sect Disciple
Sect Influence: 15%
His Sect Position had changed from Outer Sect Disciple to Inner Sect Disciple. Now, when his Talent Points were calculated, the applied bonus would be different.
He’d already noticed that the Sect interface hadn’t changed at all when he broke through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
’So, as I guessed, the Sect interface would only change after I officially registered at the Celestial Cloud Pavilion.’
"Fang Yun, you need to come back in three days. You’ll have to return your Outer Sect Disciple attire, and we’ll also arrange new living quarters for you."
"I understand."
With nothing else to discuss, Fang Yun left.
Next, he had to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.
The Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion was also on Cloud Summit, but it was located halfway down the mountain, whereas the Celestial Cloud Pavilion was right at the foot of the mountain.
Not long after Fang Yun left, two messages were sent out from the Celestial Cloud Pavilion.
"Steward Chen, have you passed the news of Fang Yun becoming an Inner Sect Disciple to Elder Bai and Elder Xiong?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve already sent it."
"Good."
After the messages were sent, their part was done.
A short while later, Fang Yun arrived at the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.
At the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, one could exchange for a variety of items, including Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, and Magic.
Naturally, Fang Yun had come for the subsequent parts of his Cultivation Technique, the Cyan Wood Technique.
He only had the Mental Method for the first six layers of the Cyan Wood Technique; the last four layers required him to come to the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion to exchange for them.
"Steward, I need the Mental Method for the last four layers of the Cyan Wood Technique." Upon entering the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion and finding the Steward on duty, Fang Yun quickly stated his request.
"Let me see your Token."
"Alright."
The Steward took Fang Yun’s Identity Token and checked the information on it.
The Identity Token had a clear record of when he became a disciple of the Celestial Cloud Sect.
The price for exchanging a Cultivation Technique varied depending on how long one had been a disciple of the Celestial Cloud Sect and how many Contribution Points they had earned.
Fang Yun was aware of these rules.
He had been a disciple of the Celestial Cloud Sect for less than two years now.
Since it was less than two years, it would be calculated based on the two-year benchmark.
If he earned two hundred Contribution Points within two years, the cost to exchange for a Cultivation Technique would be completely waived.
Currently, Fang Yun had a total of one hundred and forty-six Contribution Points. Clearly, he hadn’t yet met the threshold to get it for free.
It was worth noting that Cultivation Techniques could only be exchanged for with Contribution Points, not purchased with Spirit Stones. Magic, on the other hand, could be bought with Spirit Stones.
"In your case, you need forty-five Contribution Points."
"Alright."
When Fang Yun got his Token back, it showed only one hundred and one Contribution Points remaining. The Steward had deducted forty-five points as the fee for the Cultivation Technique.
Typically, the first three layers of a Qi Refining Stage Cultivation Technique were dirt cheap. The middle three layers were slightly more valuable, and the final four layers were very expensive.
That was the case if one were to purchase a Cultivation Technique outside the sect.
The Cultivation Techniques inside the sect were definitely cheaper. Moreover, as long as you accumulated enough Contribution Points, you could obtain the technique for free. This applied to disciples and Elders alike.
"This is the Mental Method for the last four layers of the Cyan Wood Technique. You can learn it by pressing this Jade Scroll to the spot between your eyebrows."
This was different from how Fang Yun had learned the Cultivation Technique before.
Information recorded on a Jade Scroll could be transmitted directly, which made it much faster for disciples to learn the techniques.
Fang Yun accepted the Jade Scroll, offered his thanks, and didn’t linger in the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.
His next destination was Dan Cloud Peak.
Becoming an Inner Sect Disciple wasn’t just a change in status; his talent for Alchemy had also been fully verified.
After all, when he first joined the Celestial Cloud Sect, he was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer.
Now, he was qualified to negotiate with the Elder of Alchemy about the rewards for future Alchemy tasks he would take on.
He had earned this right for himself during his time as an Outer Sect Disciple.
If he were still an Outer Sect Disciple taking on Alchemy tasks from Dan Cloud Peak, not only would he risk being deliberately given a hard time, but he wouldn’t even be qualified to negotiate the rewards.
On the way to Dan Cloud Peak, Fang Yun received a notification.
Sect Influence 1%↑
’My Sect Influence, which hasn’t budged in so long, has finally gone up.’
’As expected, as the news of my breakthrough to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and my promotion to Inner Sect Disciple spreads, my Sect Influence will continue to rise.’
’When this month ends and the calculations are done at the start of next month, the bonus to my Talent Points will change significantly.’
