I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 412: Chapter 313: Core Formation Technique

When it came to purifying a Spirit Root, the Purifying Spirit Fruit was relatively gentle, while the Burning Spirit Clear Flame was intense.

The former was gentle, but no Spirit Root purification was a pleasant experience.

Using both at once didn’t double the pain; instead, the most intense one seemed to dominate the sensation.

Fang Yun first released the Burning Spirit Clear Flame, guiding it into his body until it reached his Spirit Root.

The bright red Purifying Spirit Fruit, on the other hand, had to be ingested. The two entered the body through different means.

Both Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects for purifying his Spirit Root were now in place.

Fang Yun began to control and mobilize the powers of the Burning Spirit Clear Flame and the Purifying Spirit Fruit to purge the impurities from his Spirit Root and achieve a better result.

The Burning Spirit Clear Flame began to burn at the site of his Spirit Root, while the power of the Purifying Spirit Fruit began to nourish it.

Before long, beads of sweat appeared on Fang Yun’s forehead.

During the purification process, Fang Yun could clearly feel the changes in how his body absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the outside world, as well as the change in his conversion efficiency.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The flame at his Spirit Root vanished; the power of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, the Burning Spirit Clear Flame, had been completely depleted.

The Purifying Spirit Fruit was still taking effect.

The Spirit Root purification process was still ongoing.

Different Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects for Spirit Root purification varied in duration. Flame-type ones like the Burning Spirit Clear Flame were typically the fastest.

After the flame disappeared, Fang Yun felt much more comfortable.

Compared to the sensation brought by the Burning Spirit Clear Flame, the negative feelings from the Purifying Spirit Fruit’s purification felt like nothing more than a tickle.

As the purifying power of the Purifying Spirit Fruit faded, the Spirit Root purification process officially came to an end.

Throughout the entire process, Fang Yun’s focus had been so intense that his perception of the passage of time was weak. He had no idea how long he had been in seclusion.

Normally, the entire Spirit Root purification process would last between half a month and a full month.

"So this is the effect of purifying my Spirit Root?"

Fang Yun carefully sensed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He, who possessed Five Spirit Roots, now had a Spirit Root Talent that had reached the level of a True Spirit Root—somewhere between Three Spirit Roots and Dual Spirit Roots.

Fang Yun estimated that if he had only used one Spiritual Object, the Purifying Spirit Fruit, his Spirit Root would have ended up very close to the True Spirit Root level—far surpassing Four Spirit Roots, but not yet reaching Three Spirit Roots.

Purifying a Spirit Root becomes progressively more difficult the further one goes.

If he wanted his Spirit Root Talent to reach the level of a Dual Spirit Roots Cultivator, using another ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirit Root for purification wouldn’t be enough. He would need a very high-quality one, and its purifying properties could not overlap with those of the Burning Spirit Clear Flame and the Purifying Spirit Fruit.

"This has already far exceeded my expectations from when I first came to the Purple Mist Sect," Fang Yun said with great satisfaction, retracting his senses.

Without the help of any supplementary items, it is nearly impossible for a Cultivator with Five Spirit Roots to successfully reach Core Formation. The chances for a Cultivator with Four Spirit Roots are minuscule, while one with Three Spirit Roots already has a slight possibility.

Now, even if Fang Yun attempted Core Formation without any supplementary items, his chance of success was greater than just "slight."

Of course, attempting Core Formation without supplementary items was out of the question. The sect had prepared for him; even if he were to attempt it now, he had a Low-grade Golden Core Pill and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, Cloud Ink Water, to help him break through to the Core Formation Stage.

He had a rough estimate of the time.

It was definitely October by now.

Opening the light screen, Fang Yun looked at last month’s settlement.

Before opening it, he had been hoping that the Mirror Beasts and Tree-men he killed in the Secret Realm would be included in the settlement.

—

Killed Peak Foundation Establishment Demon*1, Talent Points +510,000

...

Sect Influence: 78%

Talent Points Bonus: 552%

Settlement: Talent Points +26,601,600

—

The moment the light screen unfurled, joy surged in Fang Yun’s heart.

Just as he thought, both the Tree-men and the Mirror Beasts had been included in the settlement. Based on the patterns he’d deduced, he had figured there was an eighty percent chance they would be included. Now that he had the result, that eighty percent shot up to one hundred. In the future, when faced with situations similar to the Mirror Beasts and Tree-men, his experience told him they were all just walking Talent Points.

A huge harvest of Talent Points!

Even though he hadn’t done much else last month, killing the equivalent of eight Peak Foundation Establishment Demons had earned him a base of 4.08 million Talent Points.

With over twenty million Talent Points, plus what was left from the previous month, he could draw for Combat Talents a total of 26,602 times.

Navigating to the Combat Talent interface, Fang Yun didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately began the draws.

Sword Type Talent Shards*8971

Shield Talent Shards*8852

Shoe Talent Shards*8779

For all three Combat Talents, the number of shards increased by nearly nine thousand each.

The progress toward his seven-star Combat Talents had advanced by approximately twenty-two percent.

The Combat Talent interface had changed quite a bit compared to last month.

[Weapon] Shield Talent ★★★★★★ (30021/40320)

[Weapon] Sword Type Talent ★★★★★★ (29898/40320)

[Weapon] Shoe Talent ★★★★★★ (29672/40320)

The Shield Talent was temporarily in the lead with over thirty thousand shards. He had acquired a lot of Sword Type Talent shards this month, significantly closing the gap between the two.

Looking at the current Combat Talent interface, Fang Yun did some quick calculations.

After acquiring roughly another thirty million Talent Points, his Combat Talents would be ready for an upgrade. If he could earn an average of 250,000 Talent Points per month, he would reach his goal in 120 months—or ten years.

Ten years was just the most conservative estimate, one that didn’t account for any unexpected windfalls of Talent Points.
