Chapter 296 - 255: New Enhancement
The moment September ended and October began.
Fang Yun closed his book and opened the glowing screen.
The Talent Points from the previous month had been calculated.
——
Killed 1x Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon, Talent Points +270,000
...
Sect Influence: 68%
Talent Point Bonus: 384%
Total: Talent Points +2,812,796
——
The base Talent Points gained from killing a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon were, as expected, more than double that of a mid-stage one.
Fang Yun had guessed that a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon would provide about 250,000 base Talent Points. The actual amount was 20,000 higher than his estimate.
The four Foundation Establishment Stage Demons had provided him with 490,000 base Talent Points. The total base Talent Points from all the Demons he had killed now exceeded 550,000.
Three days ago, his sect influence had risen from 67% to 68%, adding another 3% to his monthly Talent Point bonus.
The total Talent Points he received were now nearly five times the base amount.
’With over 2.8 million Talent Points, I can make 2,813 Combat Talent draws this time.’
He had 517 unused Talent Points left over from last month, which accumulated into another draw for a Combat Talent.
After leaving the Talent Points summary screen, Fang Yun quickly navigated to the Combat Talent interface.
With a single thought, his remaining Talent Points dropped to a three-digit number once again.
The Combat Talent draw began.
Sword-Type Combat Talent Fragments x954
Shield-Type Combat Talent Fragments x941
Shoe-Type Combat Talent Fragments x918
The number of fragments for each of the three Combat Talents was close to one thousand this time.
The numbers on the Combat Talent interface changed:
[Gear] Sword-Type Talent ★★★★★ (2278/5040)
[Gear] Shield Talent ★★★★★ (2246/5040)
[Gear] Shoe Talent ★★★★★ (2221/5040)
Three years and one month had passed since he had fully upgraded all his Life Talents to seven stars. In the three years since, Fang Yun had earned an average of around 110,000 Talent Points per month.
This huge influx of Talent Points brought the fragment count for all his Combat Talents above 2,200.
’I probably need to get around 8.4 million more Talent Points before my Combat Talents can be upgraded to six stars.’
’At an average of 110,000 Talent Points per month, it’ll take about seventy-seven months to upgrade the Combat Talents.’
Fang Yun had previously set a goal for himself to upgrade his Combat Talents to six stars within seven years.
After this massive Talent Point payout, that goal was now pretty much a sure thing.
After a quick calculation.
Fang Yun took out an Upper Grade Spirit Ascension Pill.
"Cultivate!"
The moment the Upper Grade Spirit Ascension Pill went down, he immediately began to refine and absorb it.
...
「Black Ghost Cave.」
The place was thick with Yin Qi, mixed with a faint trace of Spiritual Qi.
The Demon Power cultivated by Demons is impure, and the Yin Power cultivated by Ghost Cultivators is similarly impure.
To cultivate pure Yin Power, one had to complete the transformation into a true ghost, a process in which it was easy to lose one’s sanity.
Compared to the concentration of Demon Qi in a Demon’s cultivation environment, the concentration of Yin Qi in a Ghost Cultivator’s environment had to be much higher.
As a Core Formation Sect, the Black Ghost Cave’s cultivation environment had clearly been adjusted to be perfectly suitable for Ghost Cultivators.
Most of the sect was located underground.
The Ghost Cultivators of the Black Ghost Cave resided within a series of gloomy caverns.
In a great black hall constructed deep underground.
Many Elders from the Black Ghost Cave were seated there now.
In the center of the great black hall, the Elder in charge of intelligence gathering was relaying the information he had collected and organized.
When he finished relaying all the information, the other Elders of the Black Ghost Cave began to speak.
"The Demon Spirit Sect was heavily involved in the Celestial Demon Sect’s campaign against the Celestial Cloud Sect. To think the Celestial Demon Sect would still be the one to come out at a disadvantage."
"The Demon Spirit Sect might have been heavily involved, but their actions were nothing special."
"I think it’s normal for the Celestial Cloud Sect to hold some advantage. Defense has many advantages over offense, and what’s more, this is all happening on the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm."
"I agree with Elder Ye’s point. As the aggressors, the first problem the Celestial Demon Sect has to solve is dealing with one Grand Array after another."
They had been observing the battle between the Celestial Cloud Sect and the Celestial Demon Sect, along with the Demon Spirit Sect’s involvement, from the sidelines.
Ever since the great war between these two Core Formation Sects began, these Elders of the Black Ghost Cave had held such meetings periodically.
"Is there anything we need to do?"
"There’s no rush for now. If the Celestial Cloud Sect had been at a huge disadvantage from the beginning, we really would have had to do something."
"The fact that the Celestial Cloud Sect currently holds a slight advantage is most beneficial for us."
The Black Ghost Cave hoped to see the Celestial Demon Sect and the Celestial Cloud Sect continuously wear each other down.
What they hoped to see most was the Celestial Demon Sect annihilating the Celestial Cloud Sect, only to be left with little power of its own, while the Demon Spirit Sect was also significantly weakened in the process.
If the Celestial Cloud Sect were to fall into a major disadvantage, they might actually help them out in secret, though of course, the help they offered wouldn’t be substantial.
They would be happy to see the Celestial Cloud Sect eliminated, but it would be a poor outcome if it happened too quickly without draining much of the Celestial Demon Sect’s strength.
The Black Ghost Cave had friction with both the Celestial Cloud Sect and the Celestial Demon Sect, though their conflict with the former was greater than with the latter.
"In the coming years, do not operate on the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm unless it is for an urgent matter."
"Understood, Elder Tan."
"We understand that, of course."
The Elder Tan they spoke of was the highest-ranking and most powerful Elder among them.
"Minimize the disciples’ activities as well."
"Understood."
"Just let the Demons and the Spirit Refiners fight it out."
