Chapter 570: Chapter 392: Lin Ke Comes to the Sect

「Seven years later.」

「Within the Celestial Cloud Sect.」

At this moment, Fang Yun was in the Artifact Refining Room of his residence, sacrificially refining and upgrading his lifebound magical treasure, the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots.

As soon as he finished gathering the materials for the sacrificial refinement and upgrade of his lifebound magical treasure, the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots, Fang Yun began the process immediately.

The process went smoothly, without any difficulty.

After the sacrificial refinement and upgrade, his lifebound magical treasure, the Half-Hidden Spirit Boots, now possessed two Prohibitions.

’Compared to when I infiltrated the Celestial Demon Sect, my Half-Hidden Spirit Boots have been sacrificially refined and upgraded, my Combat Talent has risen to eight stars, and my Realm has reached the mid-Core Formation stage. If I were to infiltrate the Demon Spirit Sect now, I probably wouldn’t be discovered.’

Fang Yun assessed his current concealment abilities.

When he infiltrated the Celestial Demon Sect, he had believed his concealment abilities were formidable. Only later did he realize the Celestial Demon Sect had been luring him into a trap, and he had walked right into it.

The protective Grand Array of the Demon Spirit Sect was no weaker than the Celestial Demon Sect’s, and their detection methods might even be superior.

’I won’t know if I can actually sneak into the Demon Spirit Sect until I try, but now is not the right time...’

Fang Yun planned in his mind.

In the seven years since he broke through to the mid-Core Formation Realm, they had intensified their operations against the Demon Spirit Sect and seized some of its territory.

However, the territory they had captured wasn’t very large—even smaller than the domain of a Foundation Establishment Influence affiliated with the Demon Spirit Sect.

The most crucial point was that it would be very difficult for the Demon Spirit Sect to reclaim this captured territory.

They had destroyed all the Demon Veins in these territories, leaving only Spirit Veins behind.

If the Demon Spirit Sect were to recapture these lands, they would face numerous problems and would be unable to set up the Grand Arrays used by their Demons.

When forces of equal strength clashed, the orthodox Cultivators who trained with Spiritual Power naturally had an advantage in both offense and defense.

Besides gathering information on their own side, Fang Yun had also arranged for his people to specifically inquire about the Ghost-Controlling Sect’s actions against the Demon Spirit Sect.

The Ghost-Controlling Sect’s offensive against the Demon Spirit Sect was even more ferocious than their own, yet they had managed to occupy very little territory.

When Ghost Cultivators occupied a Demon’s territory, they first had to destroy the Demon Veins in the Demon’s Earth Realm and then cultivate the Yin Veins necessary for their own practice. The entire process was troublesome.

Therefore, in conflicts between Evil Forces, the method of gradually encroaching on each other’s Earth Realms was rather mediocre. It was best to strike directly at the heart of the enemy and eliminate the Core Formation Influence occupying the realm.

It was worth mentioning that the Black Ghost Cave had yet to make a move.

Fang Yun could understand the Ghost-Controlling Sect’s actions, but as for the Black Ghost Cave’s current behavior, he couldn’t guess what they were planning.

The most likely possibility was that they were waiting for the snipe and the clam to grapple so the fisherman could reap the rewards.

He left the Artifact Refining Room.

Fang Yun had already devised a general strategy for their operations against the Demon Spirit Sect over the next ten years.

Compared to the past few years, their future offensive against the Demon Spirit Sect would be more aggressive, at least surpassing the intensity of the Ghost-Controlling Sect’s operations.

At the same time, they would do their best to avoid the areas where the Ghost-Controlling Sect was active.

In a way, the Ghost-Controlling Sect’s actions were also helping them.

"Husband, how did the sacrificial refinement of your lifebound magical treasure go?"

"Of course, it was a great success. With my current skill in Artifact Refining, it would be difficult to make a mistake," Fang Yun said truthfully.

Four years ago, Song Qiaoqiao had gone into secluded cultivation to break through to the mid-Core Formation Realm. With the help of a Heavy Gold Pill, she had succeeded smoothly.

The couple chatted for a while.

Song Qiaoqiao then brought up some matters concerning the Sect Disciples.

"Husband, a disciple with extremely high Alchemy Talent has recently appeared on Dan Cloud Peak. I wonder if you might be interested?" Song Qiaoqiao asked.

"Extremely high Alchemy Talent..."

Fang Yun thought for a moment. For Song Qiaoqiao to use those words, the disciple’s Alchemy Talent must be astonishing.

But he still shook his head.

"Let the Elders handle taking on disciples."

Teaching a disciple required a lot of energy. Given his personality, if he were to take on a disciple, he would definitely invest a great deal of effort into it.

"How many Spirit Roots does he have?"

"Three Spirit Roots," Song Qiaoqiao replied.

Extremely high Alchemy Talent, and a Three Spirit Roots disciple at that.

A disciple with such talent would surely thrive in the current environment of the Celestial Cloud Sect, like a fish in water.

Even without an Elder taking him as a disciple and without any background, he could probably rely on himself to quickly reach the Peak of Foundation Establishment and then successfully achieve Core Formation.

"It seems the sect will have another outstanding Alchemy Master in the future."

When converting the sect’s Spirit Medicine resources into pills, a higher conversion rate was naturally better. The sect could never have too many disciples with this kind of talent.

As the sect grew stronger and its various resources increased, the proportion of resources he personally handled as the Sect Leader was steadily decreasing, even with his two avatars.

In the ensuing conversation, Fang Yun asked Song Qiaoqiao for more specific details about this disciple.

The disciple’s name was Han Yichen. He had joined the sect five years ago and currently had a Cultivation at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

Based on Han Yichen’s performance in the Qi Refining Stage so far, he was even more impressive than Fang Yun had been back then.

This made Fang Yun look forward to Han Yichen’s future growth.

His own talent was rather special.

Since Han Yichen’s performance during his Qi Refining period was even better than his own had been, his future achievements would surely be great.

Perhaps in the future, when he began refining even higher-tier pills and no longer had the energy to spare, he could delegate subsequent refining tasks to this disciple once he had matured.

Unlike him, disciples with such outstanding Alchemy Talent would generally not be sent out on missions as a Guardian or to slay Evil Demons and Crooked Paths.

Within the sect’s environment, they had excellent room for growth, and their safety was also greatly assured.
