I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 92: Superior Quality

The senior brother and sister, both at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, were going to accept a mission in the territory of the Black Ghost Cave.

They would definitely need to have some understanding of the Black Ghost Cave to do so.

Fang Yun wanted to use this opportunity to gather some information.

Information compiled by others was much more efficient than him gathering it bit by bit.

For Fang Yun, the current priority was to grow stronger whenever possible. However, he couldn’t guarantee that he would stay in the sect forever, nor could he be sure of the sect’s perpetual safety. It was always wise to prepare for a rainy day.

This was the longest Fang Yun had ever taken to descend Battle Peak.

He learned a great deal about the Black Ghost Cave from Lu Zefeng and Zhang Cailing.

The Black Ghost Cave was one of the Evil Sects, and the Celestial Cloud Sect’s relationship with it was certainly not good. But this poor relationship was nothing compared to their feelings toward the Celestial Demon Sect.

Legend had it that long ago, the Celestial Demon Sect had devastated the Celestial Cloud Sect, pushing it to the brink of annihilation. If the Purple Mist Sect hadn’t intervened, the sect might have been wiped out for good.

Whenever they encountered a cultivator from the Celestial Demon Sect, a battle was inevitable.

However, if they encountered a Black Ghost Cave cultivator in the territory of another sect, a conflict was unlikely. But entering the Black Ghost Cave’s own territory was a completely different story.

At the foot of Battle Peak.

Fang Yun parted ways with his senior brother and sister.

Next, in addition to cultivating, he planned to acquire another Upper-Grade Magical Artifact.

Through his experience using magical artifacts in combat, he found that, at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he could easily control four Upper-Grade Magical Artifacts of three different types.

He could manage five with some strain, but six was extremely difficult and placed a massive drain on his mind.

"It’s a shame Junior Brother Fang didn’t accept our invitation," Lu Zefeng said, watching Fang Yun’s back quickly disappear into the distance.

"You should be grateful. Junior Brother Fang has already agreed to help us with Artifact Refining. As soon as I find good materials, I’ll be sure to pay him a visit."

"Senior Sister, I thought those boots Junior Brother Fang was wearing looked pretty good."

Lu Zefeng retracted his gaze. Fang Yun had disappeared so quickly, anyone who didn’t know better might have thought he was fleeing for his life.

"I’d still rather have a Magical Artifact for dealing with Ghost Cultivators."

Ghost Cultivator was their term for cultivators of Yin Power. As for those who cultivated Demon Power, they preferred to call them Demons.

"Let’s go. Before we accept that mission, we’d better find another senior brother or sister who’s proficient in defense," Zhang Cailing said to Lu Zefeng.

"Mm."

Lu Zefeng nodded.

It would be great if a senior brother or sister at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer could join their mission, but that was highly unlikely.

And among the Inner Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, no one could compare to Junior Brother Fang anymore.

...

「Cloud Summit, Celestial Cloud Pavilion.」

Fang Yun only appeared here at noon, three days after becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.

He had woken up rather late today, having spent the morning tending to his six plots of Qi Nourishing Grass.

"Steward."

As Fang Yun greeted him, he placed his folded Outer Sect uniform on the desk and took out a token with the number "88" on the back.

"Fang Yun, you’re here."

The Steward had expected Fang Yun to arrive early in the morning, but he only showed up at noon.

"Wait a moment."

The Steward fumbled around for a moment before producing a light purple token.

Fang Yun was surprised to see this token.

It was a token for the Inner Sect A Zone!

Whether in the Inner Sect or the Outer Sect, the A Zone was a special area. Most of the people who lived there had some kind of backing within the sect.

’Who arranged this?’

Fang Yun immediately thought of Elder Bai Heyan.

Elder Bai Heyan had increased his influence by two percentage points, raising it from 16% to 18%. Meanwhile, the influence from Song Qiaoqiao’s great-grandfather had only increased from 9% to 11%. There was a huge disparity in the influence boosts. And when comparing the status of a Supreme Elder to that of a Peak Management Elder, the former was undoubtedly higher.

Comparing the two, Fang Yun dismissed the possibility that it was Song Qiaoqiao’s great-grandfather.

’It could only be Elder Bai Heyan!’

"Thank you, Steward."

"Not at all," the Steward said, looking at Fang Yun with a cheerful smile.

’Fang Yun’s status in the sect is now far greater than mine, a mere Steward, especially since he’ll be living in the Inner Sect A Zone.’

Fang Yun accepted the token. The number "22" was inscribed on the back.

This meant his new residence would be Number 22 in the Inner Sect A Zone.

Fang Yun recalled the layout of the Inner Sect A Zone. Senior Sister Song Qiaoqiao lived at Number 6.

One of their residences was in the southeast section, the other in the northeast.

Since they were in the same zone, the distance was negligible. If he ever wanted to drop by for a visit, he could get there in an instant.

From now on, the most time-consuming part of his travels would be the journey from his new home to the Spirit Fields.

But even though it was the most time-consuming, it still wouldn’t take very long thanks to his current speed.

Fang Yun wasn’t in a hurry to go check out his new residence.

After leaving the Celestial Cloud Pavilion, Fang Yun immediately headed for Dan Cloud Peak.

His mission at the Dan Cloud Pavilion had surely been posted by now.

’Elder Bai Heyan said it would take two or three days, but it was probably posted yesterday.’

As soon as Fang Yun entered the Dan Cloud Pavilion, he saw Wang Yourong waving at him from behind the counter.

"Junior Brother Fang, you’re finally here."

When Wang Yourong received the Alchemy mission specifically assigned to Fang Yun, she knew he must have broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and become an Inner Sect Disciple.

If she had been standing here three days ago, she might have heard the news directly from Song Qiaoqiao.

"Senior Sister Wang."

"Congratulations on becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, Junior Brother Fang. I knew you’d break through without a hitch."

Fang Yun just smiled. ’If I couldn’t break through even with all that, there would have to be something wrong with my Mental Method.’

"Here you go, Junior Brother Fang. This is your mission."

Fang Yun glanced at the mission details.

The mission required him to refine five batches of Qi Enhancement Pills and submit twenty Lower-Grade pills to be considered complete.

Upon completion, the reward was twenty-five Sect Contribution Points.

The deadline was ten days.

The time limit was generous, and both the requirements and the reward were just as Elder Bai Heyan had described.

Wang Yourong then brought out the Spirit Medicines required for the mission, and Fang Yun carefully inspected their condition.

All five sets of Spirit Medicines for refining the Qi Enhancement Pills, from the main ingredients to the supplementary ones, were of superior quality.

Ever since he started learning Alchemy, Fang Yun had never had such a wealth of high-quality materials to work with.

He was now itching to refine a batch of Qi Enhancement Pills and see what the result would be.

"Your talk with the Elder must have gone very well, Junior Brother Fang," Wang Yourong remarked.

She could tell just by the quality of the Spirit Medicines.

Most disciples who accepted Alchemy missions received Spirit Medicines of fine quality.

For all five of Fang Yun’s sets to be of superior quality, right down to the supplementary ingredients, was something even Wang Yourong had rarely witnessed for an Alchemy mission.

"Elder Bai is a good man," Fang Yun replied simply.
