I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 407: Chapter 310: Double Cleansing

Fang Yun asked with good intentions. As a disciple of the Purple Mist Sect, her reserves in this regard should be greater than his.

"Pills won’t work for my recovery."

Fang Yun nodded in understanding, then took out the map of the Secret Realm: the Land of No Master.

"Where is your rendezvous point?"

"Here."

Lin Ke pointed to a location on the map.

"Alright, I’ll plan our route there."

As he spoke, Fang Yun studied the map and quickly plotted a new course. Before they set out, he also checked to see what Lin Ke’s normal movement speed was in her current condition.

As it turned out, she was a little faster than he had expected.

With Lin Ke’s pace in mind, he took the lead, and she followed closely behind as they headed for the Purple Mist Sect’s rendezvous point.

The route Fang Yun plotted naturally took them through unmarked regions.

While helping Lin Ke, he couldn’t neglect his own search for Third-Tier Spiritual Materials.

Moving at this speed also allowed him to search more carefully, which was one silver lining.

Lin Ke’s speed wasn’t static; every so often, as she recovered a little more, she was able to move faster.

Along the way, the two occasionally exchanged a few simple words.

Along the way, they even came across a Third-Tier Spiritual Material that Fang Yun didn’t recognize; if Lin Ke hadn’t pointed it out, he would have missed it completely.

Fang Yun’s behavior within the Land of No Master Secret Realm perfectly matched Lin Ke’s perception of senior figures from Core Formation Influences.

To them, Third-Tier items were of primary interest.

As Inner Sect Disciples of the Purple Mist Sect, they would only bother with Third-Tier Spiritual Materials if it was convenient; Tier Four Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects were their true objective.

「Two days passed just like that.」

They didn’t encounter any Inner Sect Disciples from the Evil Sects.

In those two days, Fang Yun had a decent haul.

Traveling with Fang Yun, Lin Ke gained a deeper understanding of his strength.

Aside from his concealment techniques, Fang Yun’s perception and reaction speed were far superior to those of an ordinary Peak of Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He dealt with several hidden dangers before she even had a chance to notice them.

"The location is just ahead." Lin Ke sped up, moving ahead of Fang Yun and pointing forward.

"Alright, let’s pick up the pace."

"Mm."

Perhaps sensing their Spiritual Power fluctuations, three other Inner Sect Disciples from the Purple Mist Sect came into view before Fang Yun and Lin Ke even reached the designated spot.

Without a doubt, Lin Ke was the last one to arrive.

"Senior Brother Gao! Senior Sister Cai! And Junior Brother Chen!"

After waving to them, Lin Ke picked up her pace even more.

By now, Lin Ke’s condition had improved so much that she showed no signs of having been injured. From his conversations with her, Fang Yun had learned this was due to the Cultivation Technique she practiced.

"Junior Sister Lin, what’s going on here?" Gao Tianxing glanced at the approaching Fang Yun before letting his gaze settle on Lin Ke, who was ahead of him.

’Fang Yun isn’t part of our plans.’

According to the Elder’s instructions, they were to advise Fang Yun to lie low and wait for the seven days to end after he acquired the Celestial Spring Clear Liquid.

"Well, Senior Brother Gao, if it weren’t for Fang Yun, you would have never seen your adorable junior sister again..."

Lin Ke briefly explained what had happened.

She explained that she had already been slightly injured when she ran into an Inner Sect Disciple from the Blood Spirit Sect. If Fang Yun hadn’t intervened and helped her kill the disciple, she never would have been able to make it to the rendezvous.

Since her condition was dire, Fang Yun had escorted her to meet up with them.

Her account was brief, but it was enough for the other three to look at Fang Yun in a new light.

Fang Yun, a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, didn’t just have powerful concealment techniques; his actual combat strength was also impressive.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, thank you for intervening and saving Junior Sister Lin." As the leader of the Purple Mist Sect disciples on this trip, Gao Tianxing cupped his fist toward Fang Yun in thanks.

"You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist Gao. It was nothing," Fang Yun said with a smile, then got straight to the point. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

As he spoke, Fang Yun turned to leave.

He had brought Lin Ke here safely. Now, he needed to continue his search for Third-Tier Spiritual Materials and explore the blank areas on his map.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, wait a moment."

"Is there something, Fellow Daoist Gao?"

"There’s a place that has a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object capable of purifying a Spirit Root. If you’re interested, you could check it out. But I must warn you, that area is quite dangerous."

Gao Tianxing was sharing this information as a token of his gratitude, which also represented the thanks of the Purple Mist Sect. ’It seems Lin Ke’s status within the sect is quite high,’ Fang Yun thought.

In sharing this information, Gao Tianxing had also taken Fang Yun’s strength into account.

Based on his previous understanding of Fang Yun, sharing this information might have been tantamount to sending him to his death.

But now, things were different.

The moment Fang Yun heard it was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that could purify a Spirit Root, his heart leaped with joy. He immediately spoke up, "Please, Fellow Daoist Gao, tell me the details."

If he could obtain this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, then along with the Purifying Spirit Fruit from the Purple Mist Sect, he would have two items capable of purifying his Spirit Root.

’I could use two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to purify my Spirit Root, one after the other.’

’This will undoubtedly increase my chances of reaching Core Formation.’

’This information is crucial.’

"Alright."

Gao Tianxing took out his map.

On his map, some of the blank areas now had new markings.

The location of the Spirit Root-purifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object he mentioned was inside one of the blank areas he had marked.

"The location is right here. This place is extremely dangerous. Not only is there a pressure similar to that of a Core Formation Cultivator, but there are also random Secret Realm traps everywhere. The slightest carelessness could cost you your life. Before you go, Fellow Daoist Fang, you need to think it over carefully."

Gao Tianxing added one last reminder.

He had marked the place as a high-risk area on his map.

The Secret Realm traps alone would be manageable, but with the addition of a pressure that suppressed their strength, it was a whole different story.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Gao."

After memorizing the location and thanking Gao Tianxing for the warning, Fang Yun bid farewell to the four of them once more and departed.

This time, he headed not in his previous direction, but in the direction from which Gao Tianxing had come.

After watching Fang Yun leave, Lin Ke turned to her senior brother and sisters.

"Fang Yun is very strong. He should be fine going to the place Senior Brother Gao mentioned."

"Hahaha, sounds like Senior Sister Lin has a lot of confidence in Fang Yun’s strength," Chen Daguan said.

"But of course. I haven’t even told you everything about our journey here. He handled those Secret Realm traps with absolute ease."

Cai Qingyan, who had yet to speak, also offered her assessment of Fang Yun.

"To have such strength while only at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, and hailing from a Core Formation Sect... that’s truly remarkable."

"Exactly!" Lin Ke agreed emphatically.

"It seems the information I had on Fellow Daoist Fang was still incomplete," Chen Daguan said.

’At first, I thought I had the most information on him. I even predicted that he likely wouldn’t follow the Elder’s advice and would instead go collect Third-Tier Spiritual Objects after completing his mission.’

’But it seems that even knowing the most wasn’t nearly enough.’

"Junior Brother Chen, perhaps your information is simply outdated."

"Alright, that’s enough talk about Fellow Daoist Fang."

Gao Tianxing cut the conversation short.

They had already been delayed long enough because of Lin Ke; they needed to make up for lost time.

"Next, we need to complete the mission the sect assigned us."

"Right."

...

「Meanwhile.」

After leaving the four Purple Mist Sect members, Fang Yun once again plotted his route.

He would still stick to a path where Spiritual Materials were likely to appear.

Because of the information from Gao Tianxing, he needed to modify his exploration plan for the Land of No Master Secret Realm.

His original plan was to explore the blank region that took up a tenth of his map. Now, the plan was to first obtain the Spirit Root-purifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, then explore the nearest blank area.

He could just continue deeper into the region where the Spirit Root-purifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object was located.

He had seen Gao Tianxing’s map; most of that blank region was unmarked, which meant Gao Tianxing hadn’t been there either.

’But first, I need to get my hands on that Spirit Root-purifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.’
