I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 359: Chapter 286: The Demons’ Response (2)

A mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon was worth more than two early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons.

Because of the change in the bonus modifier, the total Talent Points gained after killing all the Foundation Establishment Demons in Iron Tiger Manor would definitely be higher than during the operation at Vortex Cave.

Before he had even infiltrated Iron Tiger Manor, Fang Yun was already thinking about Talent Points.

This was a major operation for his Celestial Cloud Sect. The Talent Points tallied next month would surely be plentiful.

The time needed to upgrade his three Life Talents to eight stars would be cut down by several more years.

Fang Yun moved continuously, and he was now less than three li from the Iron Tiger Manor estate.

At this point, Iron Tiger Manor still showed no reaction whatsoever.

Everything was going according to Fang Yun’s plan.

After breaking through to late-stage Foundation Establishment, the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots—an Upper-Grade Spiritual Artifact—provided him with enhanced speed and concealment.

The star-level of his Combat Talent hadn’t changed, so the buffs it provided were largely the same.

However, as a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could now perfectly unleash the full effects of the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots. The resulting boost greatly enhanced his abilities in every aspect.

Now, within the Celestial Demon Sect’s Earth Realm, no Grand Array from any of its subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences should be able to detect his movements or presence—with the sole exception of the Celestial Demon Sect’s own Grand Array.

A short while later, Fang Yun had already infiltrated Iron Tiger Manor.

He couldn’t be more familiar with this infiltration and strike procedure.

First, he naturally had to locate all the Foundation Establishment Demons. This would allow him to eliminate them in quicker succession later. The less time the Qi Refining Demons had to escape, the more of them he could eliminate.

As long as there were enough Qi Refining Demons, the Combat Talent Points they provided would not be a small amount.

Once the locations of all the Demons were confirmed, the first to be dealt with was the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon.

Over twenty years ago, during the operation at Vortex Cave, the late-stage Foundation Establishment Cave Master of Vortex Cave had noticed something was amiss before Fang Yun could even locate all the Foundation Establishment Demons.

Now, with his further improved concealment methods, when he found Iron Tiger Manor’s late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon, the target had no reaction at all and was still cultivating peacefully.

After confirming the locations of all the Foundation Establishment Demons, Fang Yun returned to the position of the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon.

’I have to eliminate these Foundation Establishment Demons as quickly as possible. That way, I can reap more Combat Talent...’

Fang Yun mused to himself before making his move.

When the first Foundation Establishment Demon died, the other Foundation Establishment Demons might not know, but the Demon in charge of guarding the Demon Jars would definitely be aware.

He had a Demon-Seeking Disc, and based on the fluctuations of Demon Power, the locations of the Foundation Establishment Demons were relatively easy to find. However, finding where the Demon Jars were kept was more difficult.

Upon returning to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon’s location in Iron Tiger Manor, Fang Yun had also spent some time looking for the Demon Jars. For him, finding their location and killing the Demon guarding them would undoubtedly be the best-case scenario.

It was fine if he couldn’t find them, though. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

It wouldn’t have a major impact on his operation.

Attack!

Forcing his way into the cultivation chamber of Iron Tiger Manor’s late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon, Fang Yun quickly dispatched his target.

The Demon was dead the moment he began to react.

With his strength further enhanced, Fang Yun’s speed in killing late-stage Foundation Establishment Demons had increased once more.

It was a small improvement on an already fast speed, but this seemingly minor increase in efficiency was actually a significant enhancement.

Improving a two-second process by one second is a much greater leap than improving a ten-second process by one second.

The very moment Fang Yun finished killing the late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon of Iron Tiger Manor,

the corresponding Demon Jar immediately shattered.

The peak of Qi Refining Demon guarding the six Demon Jars in Iron Tiger Manor reacted instantly.

"The Manor Master is dead!"

Without a shred of hesitation, he directly activated Iron Tiger Manor’s highest-level alarm.

After the destruction of the Foundation Establishment Influences—the Feng Family and Vortex Cave—

the Demons had taken extensive precautions against the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

Iron Tiger Manor, for its part, had placed the Demon Jars in a more concealed location. Within the manor, no one except the mid-to-high-level members knew where they were kept.

The Qi Refining Demon guarding the Demon Jars was definitely a veteran among Iron Tiger Manor’s middle-ranking members.

Although this peak of Qi Refining Demon had not successfully reached Foundation Establishment, he held a high status within Iron Tiger Manor.

If any of the manor’s six Foundation Establishment Demons were to leave Iron Tiger Manor for any reason, he would be the first to know.

At the same time, he also held the authority to activate Iron Tiger Manor’s highest-level alarm.

He knew that none of Iron Tiger Manor’s Foundation Establishment Demons had gone out. With the Demon Jar of the late-stage Foundation Establishment Manor Master now shattered, he understood perfectly what this moment meant.

The mysterious Spirit Refiner was here!

When the Celestial Demon Sect decided to support the Dragon Demon Palace in wiping out the Wind Ling Sect, their subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences also received some news.

The news was a warning to pay more attention to the movements of the Celestial Cloud Sect.

And also to be on guard against the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

Although there was still no conclusive evidence that the mysterious Spirit Refiner was from the Celestial Cloud Sect, it was never wrong to be extra cautious.

As Iron Tiger Manor’s highest-level alarm blared,

Shen Yaozi, who was in the middle of cultivating, immediately stopped.

He was one of Iron Tiger Manor’s four early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons.

Unlike the other three early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons, he was the one who controlled Iron Tiger Manor’s Grand Array Core Array Plate.

The ultimate reason the Core Array Plate was in his hands was precisely to guard against the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

This was a lesson learned from the incident at Vortex Cave.

The Celestial Demon Sect Elder’s investigation of the Vortex Cave incident had revealed that when Vortex Cave was attacked by the mysterious Spirit Refiner, they hadn’t even activated their Grand Array.

What did this imply?

It implied that the mysterious Spirit Refiner gave Vortex Cave no chance to activate its Grand Array.

The Cave Master of Vortex Cave, who controlled the Grand Array Core Array Plate, must have been the first to die.

With this information, Iron Tiger Manor had subsequently decided that the Grand Array Core Array Plate would no longer be kept by the Manor Master.

If the mysterious Spirit Refiner were to infiltrate and strike at them just like at Vortex Cave, and if the Manor Master were the first to die, then the Grand Array couldn’t be activated. It would be incredibly difficult for them to deal with the Spirit Refiner.

In that case, the fate of the other Foundation Establishment cultivators would be the same as those at Vortex Cave.

Water and Fire Double Demon Array, activate!

This was Iron Tiger Manor’s Second Tier Grand Array.

The Water Demon for defense, the Flame Demon for offense.

In its defensive mode, a sapphire-blue barrier would cover Iron Tiger Manor. But the intruder was already inside, and the defense could only protect against threats from the outside. They had to activate the all-out offensive mode to kill the enemy. fгeewebnovёl.com

Several crimson pillars of light shot into the sky.

A Flame Demon was coiled around each crimson pillar of light.

The first thing Shen Yaozi had to do with the Grand Array Core Array Plate was to lock onto the intruder’s position.

’It really is the mysterious Spirit Refiner.’

They knew the mysterious Spirit Refiner’s concealment techniques were exceptionally brilliant.

Even when he began using the Grand Array to scan for Spiritual Power fluctuations at full power, he couldn’t immediately lock onto the intruder’s location.

This alone was enough to show how terrifying the intruder’s concealment methods were.

Shen Yaozi was very anxious, desperate to find the mysterious Spirit Refiner’s location. Yet his heart told him he absolutely couldn’t afford to be.

The mysterious Spirit Refiner would eventually have to make a move. There would be a moment when his concealment techniques couldn’t suppress the fluctuations of his Spiritual Power.

That would be the perfect opportunity for him to lock onto the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

Although Shen Yaozi told himself this, the look on his face betrayed him. He was still extremely anxious.

"Found him! He’s here!"

It didn’t take long.

Shen Yaozi saw a small dot appear on the Core Array Plate. This was the location of the Spiritual Power fluctuation—and also the location of the mysterious Spirit Refiner.

At that moment, however, he felt little joy.

Because the dot had appeared at the cultivation chamber of their Iron Tiger Manor’s mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon.

In other words, after killing their Manor Master, the mysterious Spirit Refiner had already reached the location of his next target.

Even while concealed, the mysterious Spirit Refiner possessed astonishing speed.
