I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 582: Chapter 398: Sect Changes

Over the past twenty years.

Besides his own situation, within the sect, a total of four Elders at the Peak of Foundation Establishment had attempted to break through to the Core Formation Stage.

Among the four Elders, one had Three Spirit Roots, and three had Dual Spirit Roots.

They had all attempted their breakthrough to Core Formation without the help of any supplementary items. Seven years ago, one of the Elders with Dual Spirit Roots at the Peak of Foundation Establishment succeeded, bringing the sect’s number of Core Formation Cultivators to eleven.

Four regular Elders attempting to reach Core Formation in twenty years—an average of one every five years—was already the highest frequency the sect had ever seen for its regular Elders.

Fang Yun knew that these twenty years were just the beginning.

In the future, it would be normal for a regular Elder to attempt a breakthrough to Core Formation every three years on average.

This showed that the changing of the guard among the Sect Elders was complete.

The new generation of Sect Elders held many different views compared to the old ones. These changing perspectives stemmed from the sect’s transformation—more specifically, its growing power.

On Battle Peak, for example, the Elders who advocated for taking the offensive had long become the mainstream—a stark contrast to the situation when Miao Qinghong was still the Management Elder of Battle Peak.

But advocating was one thing.

The ones who could truly make the final decisions were still the sect’s Core Formation leadership.

And since the Core Formation leadership was guided by Fang Yun, the entire sect was advancing at a steady pace.

Inside the Alchemy Room, Fang Yun had already finished refining the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill, but the alchemy work had not yet stopped.

Besides himself, his carrier avatar was also here, refining Second Tier pills.

This carrier avatar was not his first or second, but his third!

This third carrier avatar had only been refined last year.

Among the materials needed for refining a carrier avatar, he had collected plenty of supplementary materials—enough to refine three more. The difficult part was gathering the core materials, which formed under very strict conditions.

With the third carrier avatar, his annual gain of Life Talent Points had increased, now approaching fifteen million.

"Husband, you’re out."

As Fang Yun left the Alchemy Room, he found Song Qiaoqiao waiting specifically for him.

Song Qiaoqiao knew what pills he was refining in the Alchemy Room and roughly how long it would take.

Therefore, Song Qiaoqiao usually didn’t have to wait long for him in the main hall.

"What is it?" Fang Yun asked directly.

"A piece of news from the Wind Ling Sect." Song Qiaoqiao paused for a moment before continuing, "The Wind Ling Sect reports that the Dragon Demon Palace has been in close contact with Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect recently."

Aside from their sect and the Wind Ling Sect, Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect were the only other Core Formation Influences bordering the Dragon Demon Palace.

Of the two, Ghost Head Castle also shared a border with the Ghost-Controlling Sect.

"It seems the Dragon Demon Palace is constantly preparing for our potential moves."

This news did not surprise Fang Yun.

According to previous reports, the Dragon Demon Palace had almost no dealings with Ghost Head Castle or the Blood Red Sect.

This was another consequence of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s growing power—it had spurred these Evil Sects to cooperate.

"Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect are a Ghost Cultivator Influence and a Blood Demon Influence, respectively. Although we see them both as part of the Evil Dao, their different cultivation paths likely place limits on their cooperation. We don’t need to be overly concerned," Fang Yun analyzed simply.

Song Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, then an idea struck her. "Husband, do you think we could make Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect *want* the Dragon Demon Palace to be destroyed?"

Fang Yun thought for a long time before giving his answer.

"It would be very difficult. To make Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect wish for the Dragon Demon Palace’s destruction, we would have to negotiate with those two Evil Sects and promise them certain benefits."

"Putting aside whether Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect would even trust our promises, sending someone to negotiate would certainly be opposed by a Supreme Elder on our side."

Song Qiaoqiao nodded, feeling her husband’s analysis was very reasonable. If they learned of negotiations with Ghost Head Castle and the Blood Red Sect, Miao Qinghong would surely be the first to object—and vehemently so.

Song Qiaoqiao could already picture the scene.

Her idea was good in principle, but digging deeper revealed many problems.

"The dynamic between us and the Evil Sects has completely flipped. As the aggressors, we are in no hurry. As long as we don’t make a move, all their talks are useless." Fang Yun’s thinking had shifted. "And they certainly won’t dare to strike first. Otherwise, they’ll suffer the same fate as the Demon Spirit Sect."

Seeing Fang Yun’s calm and unhurried demeanor, Song Qiaoqiao didn’t press the issue any further.

Indeed, those Evil Sects could talk all they wanted. It wasn’t as if their discussions would somehow embolden them to launch an attack.

The Celestial Cloud Sect now had eleven Core Formation Cultivators, making it a true first-rate Core Formation Sect. Anyone who wanted to move against them would really have to weigh their own strength first.

...

On a one-mu, Third Tier Middle Grade Spirit Field.

Mi Xiaoqi was currently tending to a vine with a golden stalk and natural, silver-gray patterns on its skin.

This was the Profound Spirit Vine, one of the primary Spirit Medicines for refining the Golden Core Pill.

Mi Xiaoqi was now at the Peak of Foundation Establishment and was not far from reaching the true peak of that stage.

Within the Spirit Field Institute, there was a considerable gap between his skill in cultivating Spirit Medicine and that of the other Elders at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

When Fang Yun was too busy to tend to the Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Medicines, Mi Xiaoqi was the best person to take his place.

He finished tending to one Profound Spirit Vine.
