I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

As for Miao Qinghong.

The good news was that Fang Yun was on her side, and he had already planned the first step of their course of action, which meant she wouldn’t have to wait for an extended period.

The bad news was that the first step of Fang Yun’s plan differed greatly from what she had in mind.

She felt that Fang Yun’s plan was too slow.

If she had been the one to devise the first step, she would have certainly cut out several of the slower parts of Fang Yun’s plan.

However, Miao Qinghong wasn’t an ungrateful person. The current situation among the sect’s leadership was already a vast improvement over how things were before.

So, when it was her turn to give her opinion, she said nothing, merely nodding in agreement.

Six other high-ranking members had already agreed to the first step of Fang Yun’s plan. Even if she wanted to object, it would be useless.

She had found it difficult enough to oppose four people before; opposing seven was out of the question.

Once all the high-ranking members had agreed, Sect Leader Duan Qingyun made the final decision.

"Our external strategy is hereby decided. Afterward, I will summon the Management Elder of Battle Peak."

With the external strategy settled, the meeting continued.

The high-level meeting covered a wide range of affairs.

When the discussion turned to matters Fang Yun was familiar with, he would offer his input. When it ventured into areas he didn’t understand, he listened quietly.

’It’s fine if I don’t understand now. I’ll come to understand everything eventually.’

This was a necessary step in becoming one of the sect’s leaders.

When the conversation shifted to the sect’s pill refining.

The first topic among the sect’s leadership was Third Tier pills.

At this point, Fang Yun spoke up.

"Regarding the ten batches of Five Qi Chao Ling Pills to be refined two years from now, I’m confident I can perfectly refine the last few."

After resuming his planting, he had spoken frequently with Mi Xiaoqi from the Spirit Field Institute. As a result, he had also become well-informed about things like which Spirit Medicines would mature and when.

If he hadn’t broken through to the Core Formation Stage, the Fang Yun of today would never have dared to make such a promise.

Compared to when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, refining pills was undoubtedly easier for him after reaching Core Formation. With the boost from his eight-star Alchemy Talent, his progress in refining Third Tier pills would be even more rapid, allowing him to overcome difficulties much faster.

"Elder Fang Taishang, given your alchemy skills, we look forward to the moment you perfectly refine the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills."

Previously, they wouldn’t have dared to even imagine the sect having an Alchemy Master capable of perfectly refining Third Tier pills.

Before, the refining of Third Tier pills was almost always outsourced to the Purple Mist Sect’s Elder of Alchemy.

"Once the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills are refined, you can give my share to Elder Fang Taishang," Sect Leader Duan Qingyun said with a smile, looking at Fang Yun.

He no longer had any hope of reaching the Late-stage Core Formation in this lifetime, so using the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill to aid his cultivation wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Of course, this was on the condition that there was a high-ranking member in the sect to whom he could entrust its future. If there wasn’t, he wouldn’t have given up his share of the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills.

Clearly, Fang Yun met that standard.

After Sect Leader Duan Qingyun made his stance clear, Zhong Yankun followed suit.

Originally, he planned to have his great-granddaughter and her husband split his share. But now that the Sect Leader was giving his share to Fang Yun, he decided to give his own share directly to Song Qiaoqiao.

"Regarding the distribution of the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, I believe Elder Fang Taishang deserves to receive more." It was Song Qiaoqiao who spoke, advocating for Fang Yun to gain more from the pill distribution.

Someone had to say it.

"That’s right. Elder Fang Taishang’s progress will bring all of us greater benefits."

Not a single high-ranking member voiced any objection.

They had long since enjoyed the benefits Fang Yun brought.

Now, with Fang Yun’s alchemy skills improving once again, even if he were allocated a larger share, they would still end up with more overall compared to the previous distribution of Five Qi Chao Ling Pills.

The quantity of pills would be lower, but the quality would be higher.

Once Fang Yun could perfectly refine the Five Qi Chao Ling Pills, the pills they used to aid their cultivation would no longer include any Lower Grade ones. There would only be Middle Grade and Upper Grade pills.

After the high-level sect meeting concluded,

An idea sparked in Sect Leader Duan Qingyun’s mind.

’Perhaps in the future, the Celestial Cloud Sect could become a Nascent Soul sect... But even if that day were to come, he wouldn’t live to see it.’

Before he passed away, it would be impossible for the sect to even produce a single Late-stage Core Formation cultivator, let alone become a Nascent Soul Influence.

Conservatively speaking, that would take over two hundred years.

Among the current high-ranking members, aside from the four Supreme Elders who had been promoted within the last century, no one would live long enough to see it.

「Three days later.」

In Battle Peak.

The Elders emerging from the meeting hall all had smiles on their faces.

"I never thought we’d have the chance to go to the Celestial Demon Sect during a period of peace."

"Yeah, at a time like this, normally only the Elders from the Evil Extermination Hall get to go to the Evil Sects’ territories to gather information."

"Don’t misunderstand the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders. It’s not like we can just freely go to the Celestial Demon Sect, the Demon Spirit Sect, or the Black Ghost Cave. We can only go to the territories of these Evil Sects when we’re on a mission. If we don’t have a mission, we still can’t go."

"It’s already come to this. Can a future with even more freedom be far behind?"

"That’s right. The sect hasn’t had a precedent like this in over a thousand years."

Even after the meeting was over, the Elders of Battle Peak were still talking about it.

A change like this was exactly what they had been hoping for.

Since the Celestial Demon Sect’s retreat, some of the Elders had been unable to take on even a single mission in a year, causing them to earn very few Contribution Points.
