I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 290 - 252: Unlocking Potential

A dozen or so pale yellow long swords shot forward.

These Qi Refining Demons from the Cyan Flood Dragon Sect had no power to resist, not to mention that the Xiao Family’s Qi Refining Cultivators were also hampering their performance.

These pale yellow long swords were, of course, the Upper-Grade Magical Artifacts—Yellow Iron Swords—under Fang Yun’s control.

Boosted by his five-star Combat Talent, the Upper-Grade Magical Artifact Yellow Iron Swords could already unleash power approaching that of an ordinary Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact with one Spirit Pattern.

And under Fang Yun’s control, he could manipulate these Yellow Iron Swords with precision even if they flew ten li away.

The appearance of the pale yellow long swords made the Xiao Family elder, who had originally planned to assist the clan’s Qi Refining cultivators, hold back.

Under these circumstances, there was no longer any need for him to intervene.

The Celestial Cloud Sect Elder who had come as reinforcement wanted to kill more Demons to acquire more resources. With his keen eye, he naturally wouldn’t try to steal the kills.

He wouldn’t even touch the corpses of the two early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons who had died near him; he needed to wait for the Celestial Cloud Sect Elder to handle them.

All the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Demons had all been killed.

Only then did Fang Yun reveal himself.

At his command, the Earth Yellow Sword, the Demon-slaying Sword, and the Yellow Iron Swords all flew back into his Storage Pouch.

Not only had he killed four Foundation Establishment Demons, but he had also slain a good number of Qi Refining Demons. The basic Talent Points gained just from killing these Demons might have already exceeded five hundred thousand.

"Elder Fang, I knew it was you who came to help."

As soon as Fang Yun appeared, Elder Wang immediately came to his side, his face wreathed in smiles.

He had been looking for Fang Yun just now but couldn’t find him at all.

At this very moment, he understood even more clearly how Fang Yun had single-handedly annihilated the demonic Feng Family, a Foundation Establishment Clan. ’His concealment techniques... they probably even surpass Elder Long’s.’

"Elder Wang, it seems I wasn’t too late," Fang Yun said with a smile.

He was in a good mood after killing so many Demons.

"Not too late? Of course not! You arrived right on time!" Elder Wang couldn’t help but say. "I thought we wouldn’t be able to hold out until the sect’s reinforcements arrived. It’s a good thing you made it, Elder Fang."

’The speed of this reinforcement was undoubtedly fast. He knew that to provide support this quickly, one had to travel desperately without rest, which required consuming a lot of fast-acting recovery pills. Pills of that type were usually Upper-Grade. Only an Alchemy Master like Elder Fang wouldn’t think twice about using them. If he himself were on a reinforcement mission, he would at most use Middle-Grade pills to speed up his travel.’

"Elder Fang, thank you for your timely support!"

Clutching his chest, Patriarch Xiao’s first words upon approaching were of gratitude.

He sincerely thanked Fang Yun for arriving in the nick of time. If Fang Yun had been any later, his old life would have been forfeit to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon from the Celestial Demon Sect.

A moment ago, his life had truly been hanging by a thread.

"You’re too kind. When it comes to reinforcements, the faster the better, of course," Fang Yun replied.

Patriarch Xiao now wholeheartedly agreed with Fang Yun’s words, but Fang Yun’s reinforcement speed had far exceeded his expectations.

Just moments before, he had been utterly desperate, unable to see even a sliver of hope. With his death, the Xiao Family would have likely been annihilated soon after.

Recalling how Fang Yun had killed the Foundation Establishment Demons, a question that had long troubled Patriarch Xiao was finally answered.

Over ten years ago, Foundation Establishment Demons from the Stone Demon Sect had attacked the Shen Family’s ancestral land, only to be killed. Ever since, Patriarch Xiao had been trying to get an answer from Patriarch Shen, desperate to know which Elder from the Celestial Cloud Sect was so incredibly powerful.

Patriarch Shen had refused to answer his question, reasoning that the fewer people who knew about the matter, the better.

This left him burning with curiosity.

Now, that question was answered. The Celestial Cloud Sect Elder who had helped the Shen Family kill the Stone Demon Sect’s Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader was Fang Yun.

"I have long heard that Elder Fang’s Artifact Refining methods are unparalleled, especially when combined with the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body... I am finally fortunate enough to witness such skill today." The injured Patriarch Xiao continuously praised Fang Yun as they spoke.

Beside them, Elder Wang nodded in agreement.

’Elder Fang’s development of his special constitution, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body, was nothing short of astonishing. Whether it was controlling two Spiritual Artifacts or over a dozen Upper-Grade Magical Artifacts, he brought out the characteristics of this constitution to their fullest extent. Precise control, mutual coordination, no interference between them, and all without needing to attach his Divine Sense. If he were relying on attaching his Divine Sense, a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment would only be able to maintain precise control within a radius of ten zhang. Cultivators with special constitutions had immense potential, but these constitutions needed to be continuously developed to maximize their effects. From what just happened, it was clear that for Fang Yun, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, to unleash the full power of a Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, it wasn’t just because he was an Artifact Refiner who understood Spiritual Artifacts. The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body definitely played a major role.’

"Patriarch Xiao, you flatter me. The reason I could kill the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon so quickly was mostly due to luck. He must have underestimated my attack."

Patriarch Xiao thought back.

’He wasn’t sure if that Celestial Demon Sect Elder had underestimated Fang Yun’s attack. In any case, Fang Yun had dealt with him very quickly. One weapon was a Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact designed to counter Demons, and the other was a genuine Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact. For a late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon to be killed in such a short time, there was an eighty percent chance underestimation was a factor. By the time he realized his mistake, Fang Yun wasn’t about to give him a second chance.’

A short while later, the Xiao Family Elder also came over.

He first thanked Fang Yun for his timely arrival before asking.

"Patriarch, are you all right?"
