I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 374: Chapter 294: Strength Enhancement

Fang Yun looked at his current Life Talent interface.

He thought about the Life Talent fragments he could now draw.

He made a quick calculation in his mind.

’If my luck is good, I can upgrade my Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Planting Talents all to eight-star. At the very least, my Alchemy Talent should reach eight-star.’

Even if his luck was outrageously bad, given the sheer number of Life Talent fragments he could draw, it was impossible for not even a single Life Talent to reach eight-star.

With a thought, Fang Yun began.

Talent Points remained.

The thirty-five thousand, five hundred and twelve Life Talent draws began.

Alchemy Talent Fragments x 11,879

Artifact Refining Talent Fragments x 11,836

Planting Talent Fragments x 11,797

The moment the Talent Points finished the draws, a wondrous and incredibly intense feeling gushed forth.

For Fang Yun, this feeling was quite comfortable.

’Drawing for Life Talents is better. It’s gentle.’

Feeling the changes in his body, Fang Yun opened his eyes and immediately checked the changes on his Life Talent interface.

Alchemy Talent ★★★★★★★★ (532/3,628,800)

Artifact Refining Talent ★★★★★★★★ (97/3,628,800)

Planting Talent ★★★★★★★ (362,769/362,880)

His Alchemy and Artifact Refining Talents had both been upgraded to eight-star, while his Planting Talent was still short by a little over a hundred fragments.

If he had drawn more Planting Talent fragments, and fewer Alchemy and Artifact Refining Talent fragments, then all three Life Talents could have been upgraded to eight-star.

’To upgrade all my eight-star Life Talents to nine-star, I’ll need close to 1.1 billion Talent Points...’

Fang Yun calculated in his mind. Based on the average number of Talent Points he currently acquired each month, it would take over four hundred years for him to complete the upgrade from eight-star to nine-star for his Life Talents.

Over four hundred years... a Core Formation Cultivator’s Life Span is only about four or five hundred years.

’Above Nascent Soul is Divinity Transformation. Eight-star Life Talents are more than enough for a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Nine-star Talents already touch upon the Divinity Transformation Stage, and right now I’m only in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.’

Even if it really took over four hundred years to upgrade his eight-star Life Talents to nine-star, Fang Yun could completely accept it, because he was already developing far ahead of the curve.

To put it in gaming terms, without a pay-to-win system, he had developed to this extent from a completely blank slate. As someone who specialized in F2P and light-spender guides, Fang Yun knew very well that *So-called Cultivation* was very good at gating the progress of regular players.

In the game, having a four-star talent during the Late-stage Foundation Establishment was already considered good.

Of course, his ability to develop ahead of the curve was also due to the support of the entire sect. In the game, you wouldn’t have so many pills and Spiritual Artifacts to practice Refining on. Players needed to improve themselves, so how could they give these acquired raw materials to others? Unless, of course, there were traders buying them up to earn real-world cash.

As long as a game allows for grinding, there will always be grinders.

Fang Yun looked at the interface, still thinking.

The current estimate was over four hundred years, but in reality, it probably wouldn’t take that long.

The number of Life Talent Points he acquired each month was on a year-over-year increasing trend.

There was another key point.

That would be when he eventually becomes the Sect Leader, reaches 100% influence within the sect, and unlocks Regional Influence.

That would be another huge bonus to his Talent Points.

’It’s too early to think about this now. I’ll first cultivate to the peak of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, break through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and then worry about successfully advancing to the Core Formation Stage.’

Thinking this, Fang Yun closed the light screen.

As for the remaining Planting Talent, he could easily upgrade it to eight-star next month. After that, he would start improving his Combat Talent.

Compared to the Life Talents he needed to upgrade now, raising his Combat Talent from six-star to seven-star was much easier.

Lying on his bed, Fang Yun rested, but his mind kept racing.

This time, he wasn’t thinking about Talent Points or talent upgrades, but about Refining a Spiritual Artifact.

His mind was now filled with all sorts of combinations and arrangements of Spiritual Materials.

After his Artifact Refining Talent was upgraded to eight-star, according to the patterns he had previously summarized, he now qualified to refine an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact specialized against Demons.

Unlike the chaos before, his train of thought was much clearer now.

He had collected many Spiritual Materials over the years, especially a good number from the Celestial Demon Sect’s territory in the Earth Realm.

A few days ago, after killing the Demon at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, he had also found quite a few Spiritual Materials in its Storage Pouch.

’I can actually refine a Demon-slaying Sword!’

The combination of primary and auxiliary Spiritual Materials flashed through Fang Yun’s mind and finally settled into place. His inventory of Spiritual Materials had everything he needed.

Fang Yun kipped up from the bed and immediately entered the Artifact Refining Room.

Under his precise control, the Storage Pouches on the stone shelf opened one by one.

The Spiritual Materials he wanted were all drawn by his Spiritual Power and landed before him.

’This is my first time Refining an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact specialized against Demons. I may be lacking in experience, but the quality of the Spiritual Materials is excellent. There’s a good chance I can refine a Demon-slaying Sword with Eight Spirit Patterns.’

Currently, Fang Yun had two Middle Grade Demon-slaying Swords: one with four Spirit Patterns, and the other with five.

He had originally wanted to refine one with six Spirit Patterns, but then he thought about it and decided against it. His Artifact Refining Talent was close to eight-star, so it would be better to refine an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact then.

His decision had been the right one.

If he had refined a six-spirit-pattern Demon-slaying Sword two years ago, he wouldn’t be able to refine an Upper Grade one now, because he wouldn’t have had enough Spiritual Materials.

The Black Demon Stone, an extremely important auxiliary Spiritual Material for refining the Upper Grade Demon-slaying Sword now, was the primary Spiritual Material for a six-spirit-pattern Demon-slaying Sword.
