Chapter 193: Chapter 192: Talent Characteristics
「The sixth of May.」
On this day, Fang Yun had already returned to the Celestial Cloud Sect.
He had gone to the Shen Family with one other person but returned alone.
Yang Yingjie hadn’t t with any accident; he simply wanted to continue the support mission at the Shen Family for a while longer.
Thanks to Fang Yun, his mission rewards were doubled, which was a great deal for him. The cultivation environnt provided by the Shen Family was quite good, and with his Three Spirit Roots, his cultivation speed wouldn’t be slow even with normal practice.
Fang Yun had a brief chat with Yang Yingjie and said goodbye to Bai Qinying before returning to the Celestial Cloud Sect.
On his way back to the Celestial Cloud Sect, he spent most of the journey moving at full speed, with his Upper Grade Magical Artifact, the Light Silk Boots, in burst mode.
For a normal Cultivator, moving at full speed using the Light Silk Boots in burst mode would consu a huge amount of Spiritual Power.
But for Fang Yun, the Spiritual Power consumption was completely acceptable. The ti saved made the journey more comfortable for him.
Upon returning to the Celestial Cloud Sect, he first visited his master Xiong Xingfeng’s abode, then went to the Dan Cloud Pavilion on Dan Cloud Peak to accept his Alchemy missions.
Since he still had the energy, he also refined two batches of Qi Enhancent Pills.
「On the morning of his third day back at the Celestial Cloud Sect.」
Fang Yun, still asleep, was woken by a knock on his door.
His energy hadn’t fully recovered, but it was almost there.
The door opened.
Standing outside was Huang ngzhu.
At fourteen, the childishness in Huang ngzhu’s face was gradually fading. What Fang Yun noticed most, however, was the change in her height.
Her forehead could now reach his chest.
"Fang Yun, you’re finally back!" Huang ngzhu, who had co looking for him again, was overjoyed to see him.
"What is it?"
"Didn’t we agree last year that I’d make you a whole table of Spiritual Food for your birthday this year?" Huang ngzhu reminded him of their agreent.
Hearing this, Fang Yun rembered.
Celebrating his birthday was an enjoyable affair, but not a particularly important one to him. After all, it was an annual event, not a once-in-a-century celebration.
"My birthday was four days ago."
He had still been in Cuixiang County at the ti.
"You were out on a mission, so you probably haven’t had a chance to celebrate your birthday yet, right?"
"No, I haven’t."
"Then it’s not too late to celebrate today! Hee hee." Huang ngzhu decided to make it up to him.
She hadn’t had a chance to show off her cooking skills to Fang Yun yet. She had recently made significant progress in her studies and could now prepare so basic Spiritual Food.
Last month, she had even broken through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
Compared to when she was at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, her Qi Sea’s Spiritual Power now lasted longer when preparing Spiritual Food. This not only allowed her to make more dishes but also gave her more precise control over the heat and ingredients.
"Alright." Fang Yun closed the door and crouched down. "Hop on."
"Fang Yun, you don’t have to crouch down anymore."
From his actions, it was clear he wanted to give her a piggyback ride to Smoke Cloud Peak to save ti.
"Hahaha, it’s a habit."
"I’m not a little kid anymore."
"I know, I know. Let’s get going."
"Mhm."
Huang ngzhu gave a light hop, wrapped her arms around Fang Yun’s neck, and clamped her legs around his waist.
"Let’s go."
Supporting her with his hands, Fang Yun sprinted toward Smoke Cloud Peak at an incredible speed.
There were designated areas for preparing Spiritual Food on the mountainside of Smoke Cloud Peak. Smoke Cloud Pavilion naturally had them as well, but that was a place for dining and hosting guests. Only those who had accepted a mission from the Pavilion could cook Spiritual Food there.
The fire used for cooking Spiritual Food was also very particular. Different types of Spiritual Food required flas from specific Spirit Woods to bring out their best aroma.
Arriving at the mountainside of Smoke Cloud Peak, Fang Yun watched the wisps of cooking smoke rise, content to just wait for his al.
"Here you go, Fang Yun! These are the five Spiritual Food dishes I know how to make now."
Fang Yun took a look and saw they were all basic First-Grade Spiritual Food dishes, like Stead Spirit Eggs and roasted beast legs.
"It slls amazing. Let’s see how it tastes... Mmm, this is great!"
"That’s good."
After receiving Fang Yun’s praise, Huang ngzhu also sat down and began to eat.
As they ate, Fang Yun caught up on what Huang ngzhu had been doing recently.
After her initial three years, Huang ngzhu had been working long-term on Smoke Cloud Peak. Thanks to her considerable talent as a Spirit Chef, the cultivation resources she earned each month were quite substantial.
Besides working on Smoke Cloud Peak, she now basically returned ho once a month.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Huang ngzhu stayed on Smoke Cloud Peak while Fang Yun headed to Artifact Casting Peak.
「Inside Superior Artifact Refining Room Number Three.」
Fang Yun tossed out a series of Storage Pouches.
These were all Storage Pouches used by Demons.
Then, Fang Yun took out a light green, ping-pong-ball-sized stone.
It was a Lower Grade Demon Stone, sothing he had asked for from Patriarch Shen when he collected his Spirit Stone reward for a month of support.
Cultivators like them who trained with Spiritual Power had Spiritual Ore mines that produced Spirit Stones. Naturally, for Demons, there were Demon Stone mines that produced Demon Stones.
Disciples of the Celestial Cloud Sect would obtain Demon Stones by killing Demons. The sect would buy these Demon Stones, with two Lower Grade Demon Stones exchangeable for one Lower Grade Spirit Stone.
As for the use of Demon Stones, based on what Fang Yun knew, they could be processed by a Spirit Ore Master or used to make feed for captive Demon Beasts.
Fang Yun used this Lower Grade Demon Stone to channel Demon Power, first opening each of the Storage Pouches and emptying their contents.
These were the Storage Pouches of the Stone Demon Sect’s elders and disciples, and their contents were primarily Demon Stones.
"There are quite a few materials, but unfortunately, not many of them are useful to ." Fang Yun sorted through the spoils.
He also flipped through a few books. One was the basic Cultivation Technique for the Stone Demon Sect’s Demons. Before cultivating it, one needed to transplant the bloodline of a Petrifying Beast.
"This is... a book on Artifact Refining. Let
see..."
The Magical Artifacts they refined required Spiritual Power to use; the Magical Artifacts refined by Demons naturally required Demon Power.
Compared to normal Cultivators, Demons used very few Magical Artifacts. In battle, they preferred to use their own bodies, much like Demon Beasts. Among all these Storage Pouches, there were only four Magical Artifacts used by Demons.
"It’s so simple. I can understand it at a glance."
Closing the book, Fang Yun felt that this shouldn’t be the case. He had a strong sense of dissonance that stemd from his own understanding.
’Could it be my talent...’
A bold idea suddenly occurred to Fang Yun.
He was going to refine a Magical Artifact used by Demons.
Using Spiritual Power to refine a Magical Artifact ant for Demons was an incredibly difficult task. No Artifact Refiner would waste any ti on it; not only was it pointless, but it was also exceptionally hard.
For them, creating a Lower Grade Magical Artifact that used Demon Power might be even more difficult than refining an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact.
Using so of the materials on the floor, Fang Yun began to refine a very simple Lower Grade Magical Artifact.
According to the theoretical knowledge he had learned, it should be almost impossible for him to succeed.
But in practice, Fang Yun, following his instincts, refined a Lower Grade Magical Artifact with remarkable ease.
"It actually worked!"
Staring at the short sword in his hand, Fang Yun found it incredible.
This Lower Grade Magical Artifact, a short sword, couldn’t be activated with Spiritual Power, but he was certain it would work with Demon Power.
’My Life Talent isn’t just universal and applicable to all cultivation paths—it’s special in so way.’
This experint led Fang Yun to this conclusion.
Take, for example, a gifted Artifact Refiner who creates Spiritual Artifacts. If they had cultivated sothing other than Spiritual Power from a young age, they would still have a corresponding talent for refining on their own path. But if they then tried to refine a Spiritual Artifact, it would be impossible.
But Fang Yun didn’t have such a restriction.
Demon Power, Yin Power, Blood Power.
These were the three other cultivation paths Fang Yun now knew of.
In the ga "So-called Cultivation," there were no separate cultivation paths; the only thing one could cultivate was Spiritual Power.
When the ga system ca over with him, it must have mutated to beco better suited to this world.
This was also reflected in the Talent Points he gained from killing Demons.
At this mont, Fang Yun was thrilled.
This characteristic of his talent gave him more options in Artifact Refining. Materials he previously wouldn’t have dared to use might now be viable.
He could also introduce more variations in the pattern inscription process, as long as he could maintain control.
Now, Fang Yun had a better idea for artifacts that specifically targeted Demon Power. With this idea, he could easily refine Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, a task that had been so difficult before.
Previously, when he refined an Upper Grade Magical Artifact for Yang Yingjie to counter Demons, his second attempt had failed.
"The only thing I’m missing now is materials."
Materials that were once difficult to use were now all usable by Fang Yun.
Once he could refine these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts effortlessly, he could make them from ti to ti and sell them at the Artifact Pavilion.
This would increase the strength of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s disciples against Demons.
Moreover, these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts with special effectiveness against Demon Power wouldn’t have the sa drawbacks as the one he made for Yang Yingjie.
The more Fang Yun thought about it, the more ideas flooded his mind.
