"It should be within the next few months. If things go quickly, maybe even next month," Fang Yun replied.
Thirteen months had passed since Huang ngyang ca to him to test his Alchemy and Artifact Refining talents.
Eight months ago, Huang ngyang, having broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, had already beco Han Fenglin’s direct disciple.
From what he understood, Huang ngyang had a remarkable talent for Beast Taming.
Han Fenglin had even stated bluntly that his disciple would one day surpass him.
As he answered Bai Qinying, Fang Yun glanced at his Life Talent interface.
Normally, when the Talent Points settled next month, all three of his Life Talents could be upgraded to seven stars.
"So you’re saying it’ll be about half a year at most."
"About that."
"Junior Brother, the mont you’re ready, you have to let know imdiately," Bai Qinying bead.
"I will." Fang Yun nodded, then asked, "By the way, Senior Sister, when do you think you’ll break through to the mid-Foundation Establishnt Stage?"
As soone with a Thunder Spirit Root, once Bai Qinying reached the peak of the initial Foundation Establishnt Stage, she could break through to the mid-stage even without the aid of any pills.
With the help of one or two Lower Grade Cyan Clarity Pills, failing the breakthrough would be almost impossible.
"I should reach the mid-Foundation Establishnt Stage before the middle of next year."
"That’s soon, only about ten months." Fang Yun paused before continuing, "If the collection of Spiritual Materials goes smoothly, I can have a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact ready for you by the ti you reach the mid-Foundation Establishnt Stage."
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator needed to reach the mid-Foundation Establishnt Stage to unleash the full power of a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact.
"That would be perfect."
At that very mont, Bai Qinying was already considering what kind of Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact she would need Fang Yun to refine to help her fight Demons more effectively.
「Three days later.」
Cloud Summit, the Main Peak of the Celestial Cloud Sect. This was the place where disciples entered seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Jiang Yan, who had been in seclusion to attempt his breakthrough, successfully reached the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
This was not his first attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, but his second. His previous attempt had failed, but he was lucky enough to beco a Half-Step Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
After several more years of preparation, a Half-Step Foundation Establishnt cultivator could generally attempt the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishnt Stage again.
A Half-Step Foundation Establishnt cultivator, combined with so resources to aid the breakthrough, often had a much higher chance of success on their second attempt.
For both his first and second attempts, Jiang Yan had used a Lower Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Having completed his breakthrough, he erged from seclusion.
Outside, his master, He Jiawen, and Wu Junxin were waiting for him.
"I told you before I went into seclusion that I’d definitely succeed this ti. See? Wasn’t I right?" Jiang Yan said, a bit smug after his success.
Wu Junxin called him out.
"You said the sa thing before your first ti in seclusion. Have you forgotten?"
"Did I? It was probably too long ago. I forgot."
Wu Junxin’s words did nothing to diminish the smile on Jiang Yan’s face.
Given his relationship with Wu Junxin, he wouldn’t get angry no matter what Wu Junxin said.
Besides, what Wu Junxin said was the truth.
His master, He Jiawen, and Wu Junxin had each procured a Lower Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill for him. The one he had used for this breakthrough was the one from Wu Junxin.
He himself was too poor.
He had very few Spirit Stones or Contribution Points.
"Little old man, your disciple has successfully reached Foundation Establishnt and beco a Sect Elder. So what kind of Alchemy tasks will the Dan Cloud Pavilion be assigning ? There should be so Second Tier Alchemy tasks, right?" Jiang Yan said, rubbing his hands together as he looked at He Jiawen.
"You?"
He Jiawen looked at his disciple and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Yan’s Alchemy Talent was excellent. It could be said that besides Fang Yun, Jiang Yan had the best Alchemy Talent in the entire Celestial Cloud Sect. Unfortunately, despite trying many thods, He Jiawen still hadn’t managed to correct his disciple’s ways.
"If you refined pills normally, you would have been given Second Tier Alchemy tasks back when you were at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer."
"Little old man, are you saying that even after successfully reaching Foundation Establishnt, I still won’t be able to refine Second Tier pills?"
"Definitely not for now. Not until you can perfectly refine seven types of Tier One pills. Elder Bai has already said that the Spirit dicines for refining Second Tier pills absolutely cannot be wasted by soone like you."
At this point, He Jiawen couldn’t help but start lecturing him again.
"Just look at Elder Fang Yun! He has never wasted his Alchemy Talent. Right now, when he refines Purple Essence Pills, as long as the Spirit dicines et the standard, he can reliably produce one Upper Grade and two Middle Grade Purple Essence Pills. Even if the main Spirit dicine for the Purple Essence Pill, the Purple Ji Flower, is of inferior quality, he can still reliably refine three Middle Grade Purple Essence Pills..."
"I know, I know."
Jiang Yan quickly cut off He Jiawen’s lecture. If he had to listen to any more, his ears would start to grow calluses.
Just as He Jiawen was interrupted, Wu Junxin spoke up.
"Jiang Yan, Elder He is right. Even though I don’t understand Alchemy, you really should learn from Fang Yun when it cos to refining pills."
Wu Junxin was well aware of the changes Fang Yun had brought to the sect. For example, if he wanted to buy a Spirit Ascension Pill to aid his cultivation now, the Dan Cloud Pavilion was almost always stocked with the Upper Grade version.
The sa went for Cyan Clarity Pills, used for breaking through from the peak of the initial Foundation Establishnt Stage to the mid-stage. You used to have to reserve them in advance, but now you could just go to the Dan Cloud Pavilion and buy them.
With such an abundance of pill resources, one no longer had to worry about pills being out of stock. The new worry was whether one had enough Spirit Stones and Sect Contribution Points.
The wonderful feeling of breaking through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage was starting to feel less wonderful for Jiang Yan as he was being lectured by the two of them in turn.
「Five days after Jiang Yan entered the Foundation Establishnt Stage.」
