Chapter 542: Chapter 378: A Change in Talents
Upgrading the Seven-star Combat Talent to eight-star requires around 1.1 billion Talent Points.
After drawing the Life Talents, he now had 820,850,000 Talent Points remaining.
Glancing at his remaining Talent Points, Fang Yun began drawing Combat Talents.
In total, he drew Combat Talents 820,850 times.
With a single thought, the talents were drawn in an instant.
After more than 800,000 draws, the Combat Talent interface changed as follows:
[Artifact] Sword Type Talent ★*7 (274,167/362,880)
[Artifact] Shield Talent ★*7 (273,789/362,880)
[Artifact] Shoe Talent ★*7 (273,090/362,880)
His Talent Points had been consumed until only double digits remained.
The total upgrade progress bar for the Seven-star Combat Talents was now three-quarters full.
With another 270 to 280 million Talent Points, he could upgrade all his Combat Talents.
From now on, even if he didn’t acquire any more combat-related Talent Points, he could rely solely on the points from his Life Talents to upgrade all his Combat Talents in about twenty years.
Fang Yun made a final calculation.
Quite satisfied, he closed the light screen.
At that moment, he didn’t immediately begin to cultivate. Instead, he thought about the Nine-star Life Talent he had just upgraded.
A Nine-star Talent was barely enough for the Divinity Transformation Stage. He was currently only in the Early-stage Core Formation, a long way from the Nascent Soul Stage, let alone the Divinity Transformation Stage.
The more his talents exceeded the current standard, the better his future development would be.
’The change from an eight-star to a Nine-star Life Talent shouldn’t disappoint me...’
It was time to test the changes brought by the talent upgrade.
And as it happened, he would soon have Spirit Medicine to experiment with.
「About two weeks later.」
Fang Yun received the Spirit Medicine from an Elder.
This was the Spirit Medicine for refining the Purple Essence Pill, of which there were six sets.
The Purple Essence Pill was one of the more difficult Second-Tier pills to refine. Back when his Alchemy Talent was at eight-star, he still had to expend effort to intervene when his Carrier Avatars were refining it.
Inside a newly opened Alchemy Room.
Two Carrier Avatars appeared, flanking Fang Yun on his left and right.
As Fang Yun took out the Spirit Medicine, the two Carrier Avatars began refining the Second-Tier Purple Essence Pill in front of their respective Alchemy Furnaces.
Since this was an experiment, Fang Yun couldn’t do anything for now but quietly watch the two Carrier Avatars refine the Purple Essence Pills.
If any problems arose while the Carrier Avatars were refining the Purple Essence Pills, he would intervene to prevent any refinement issues.
Fang Yun hoped no problems would arise.
As time passed, the Carrier Avatars’ refinement of the Purple Essence Pills proceeded in an orderly manner.
Throughout the entire process, Fang Yun never intervened. The Carrier Avatars completed it all on their own, achieving a perfect refinement of the Purple Essence Pill.
"They didn’t disappoint me." A wave of delight washed over Fang Yun, and a smile spread across his face.
This time it was the Purple Essence Pill. When he got the Spirit Medicine for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would have the Carrier Avatars refine that on their own as well.
If the Carrier Avatars could successfully complete a perfect refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would prove that with his now Nine-star Alchemy Talent, his avatars could also perfectly refine any pill below the Third Tier.
’My Alchemy Talent is nine-star, and so is my Artifact Refining Talent. I estimate that my Carrier Avatars can now refine any pill or Spiritual Artifact below the Third Tier on their own.’
’This way, I can use less energy to do more things in the future. Not only that, but it will also give me much more operational flexibility.’
’Also, with my Artifact Refining Talent upgraded to nine-star, I should theoretically be able to refine Magical Treasures specifically designed to counter Demons...’
This wasn’t limited to Magical Treasures for fighting Demons; the same applied to those for dealing with Ghost Cultivators and Blood Demons.
Fang Yun instructed the two Carrier Avatars to continue refining the Purple Essence Pills.
There were still four more batches of Purple Essence Pills to be refined.
Meanwhile, he headed to the place where the loot was being stored.
After the elimination of the Celestial Demon Sect, some of the loot was stored here. The rest had already been taken back to the sect, specifically the items of greater use.
The Spiritual Materials left here were mostly suitable for use by Demons.
’Silver Star Demon Moss, Black Wolf Crystal Stone... It seems I’ve found a use for these Third-Tier Spiritual Materials after all.’
Fang Yun looked over these Spiritual Materials, which were favored by Demons, again and again, his mind racing through various combinations for refining them into Magical Treasures.
All of these materials could be used as the primary Spiritual Materials for refining Magical Treasures to counter Demons.
His Nine-star Artifact Refining Talent was indeed sufficient to refine a Magical Treasure with One Prohibition designed to counter Demons.
Among ordinary Magical Treasures, support-type ones were more popular, but this was not the case for Magical Treasures used to fight Demons.
A Cultivator who had just reached the Early-stage Core Formation, if they possessed a Magical Treasure with One Prohibition specifically for fighting Demons, would have the power to contend with a mid-stage Core Formation Demon.
Although it was a specialized advantage, it was still a significant boost in strength.
After inspecting the loot one more time, Fang Yun went back to cultivate.
With his Carrier Avatars now easier to manage, his cultivation sessions also became much more relaxed.
From now on, aside from refining pills of the Third Tier and above and crafting Magical Treasures, which he would handle himself, he could leave everything else to his Carrier Avatars. He just needed to replenish their Spiritual Power in a timely manner.
He hadn’t been in silent cultivation for even two days when he sensed a change in the Spiritual Qi.
He immediately withdrew from his meditative state.
After coming out, he discovered a protective shield had appeared in the sky above.
It was Elder Deng Fusheng, testing the Grand Array.
"Sect Leader."
Holding a simple Array Plate, Deng Fusheng immediately bowed upon seeing Fang Yun.
"Elder Deng, is this the Quasi-Tier Three Grand Array you mentioned?"
"To be precise, it’s not quite a Quasi-Tier Three Grand Array. It only has the defensive and detection capabilities of one; it lacks all the other functions."
