Were you also prepared for a potential ambush?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Fang Yun nodded. \"If they were going to ambush me, it could only be near the Shen Family’s territory. When I entered their territory, I advanced while concealed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Shen Family’s territory, he had indeed advanced while concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his methods were even more extreme. Not long after leaving the Celestial Cloud Sect, he had put on his Half-Hidden Spirit Boots, unafraid of the Spiritual Power consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Heyan pointed out Fang Yun’s recklessness, Fang Yun answered each point one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, it wasn’t that he had prepared long in advance, but that he was *always* prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they talked, the less Bai Heyan had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally come to lecture Fang Yun, but Fang Yun’s preparations had been so thorough that he was left speechless in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun understood what Bai Heyan was ultimately trying to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he finally said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Bai, you don’t need to worry too much about me going out. I make thorough preparations, and I possess considerable strength myself. As for Alchemy, you can rest even more assured. I will not waste my talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Fang Yun’s explanation, Bai Heyan could only nod in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, if he could have his way, he would still prefer Fang Yun to spend more time on Alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t say this out loud. If Xiong Xingfeng found out, he might just show up at his door looking for a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he knew, Xiong Xingfeng hadn’t told Fang Yun to spend more time on Artifact Refining either. Instead, he let Fang Yun allocate his time as he saw fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Bai Heyan had to admit that Xiong Xingfeng seemed a more suitable master for Fang Yun than he would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If an old man like me says too much, I might just annoy him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun saw Bai Heyan to the entrance of his cave.

A mid-stage one has to give at least 100,000, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Qi Refining Stage, which has ten minor realms, the Foundation Establishment Stage only has four: early, middle, late, and peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon only gave 20,000 more base Talent Points than an early-stage one, Fang Yun would honestly find that a little hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the calendar turned to the beginning of June,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun immediately opened the translucent screen to check last month’s settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killed Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon x2, Talent Points +240,000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sect Influence: 62%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Point Bonus: 366%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Settlement: Talent Points +1,759,439\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun was very satisfied with the base Talent Points gained from killing the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demons. A single one provided 120,000 Talent Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This month, the base Talent Points he gained from killing Foundation Establishment Demons reached a high of 340,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Sect Influence had increased by one percentage point last month, which was also something Fang Yun had hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The influence had increased three days ago. This showed just how difficult it was to raise it by a single percentage point, as it had been over half a month since he killed the four Foundation Establishment Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A settlement of over a million Talent Points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time his Talent Point settlement had reached seven digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Talent Points from this settlement, he could draw for Combat Talents over 1,700 times, but he wasn’t just going to draw for Combat Talents this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his three Combat Talents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one closest to upgrading to a five-star Combat Talent was now his Sword Talent, which was just ninety-nine fragments away from leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one furthest away was his Shoe Talent, but the gap wasn’t large. It was at most twelve fragments behind the Sword Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, he needed just over three hundred and ten Combat Talent fragments. That was why, before heading to the Shen Family’s ancestral land, Fang Yun had hoped to kill two early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after killing two early-stage Foundation Establishment Demons, the base Talent Points he would gain, including the bonus, would be enough to upgrade all three of his Combat Talents to five stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side effects of upgrading Combat Talents were a bit intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fang Yun began to draw one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three hundred and three draws, his Sword Talent was ready to upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the strange sensation faded, an extremely intense, scorching heat followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This feeling is still so unpleasant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he had already reached Foundation Establishment, and his tolerance had increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing five more Combat Talent fragments, his Shield Talent was the second to upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing another nine Combat Talent fragments, his Shoe Talent also upgraded to five stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The display on the Combat Talent interface had changed significantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Weapon] Sword Talent ★★★★★ (7\u002F5040)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Weapon] Shield Talent ★★★★★ (3\u002F5040)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Weapon] Shoe Talent ★★★★★ (0\u002F5040)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the final wave of scorching heat subsided did Fang Yun check his Combat Talent interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his Combat Talents were now five-star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bonus from five-star Combat Talents would still be barely usable even after he broke through to the Core Formation Stage.

However, to upgrade from a five-star to a six-star Life Talent required a massive number of fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, he had only completed a little more than a tenth of the progress required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would likely take over twelve million Talent Points for all his five-star Life Talents to possibly be upgraded to six-star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most months, he only earned around 70,000 to 80,000 Talent Points.
