I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 66: Spirit Medicine Shortage
He didn’t get involved in the verbal spar between Liu Chenliang and Nan Qiuchun, nor did he just stand there on the Dueling Platform listening.
After stepping off the Dueling Platform, he went to register with the Steward.
He could register by himself, freeing up Dueling Platform Number Two.
Just as he finished registering and was about to leave, he saw Song Qiaoqiao heading toward Dueling Platform Number One, so he waited for a moment.
"Senior Sister, did you win your second Magical Combat match?"
"I won," Song Qiaoqiao said with a proud smile.
"I won my third Magical Combat match too," Fang Yun said, sharing his own results. Then he asked, "Senior Sister, are you going to keep fighting?"
"Two matches are enough for me."
"Then let’s leave together."
"Alright."
Song Qiaoqiao and another female Inner Sect Senior Sister at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer registered the end of their Magical Combat with the Steward.
The two of them then left Battle Peak together.
On their way out, they talked about their Magical Combat matches, with Song Qiaoqiao doing most of the talking about her fights.
"Looks like Junior Brother Fang and Senior Sister Song have a pretty good relationship."
"Could Junior Brother Fang be pursuing Senior Sister Song?"
"I don’t think so. I feel like Junior Brother Fang is a very pure person."
"A feeling? Your feelings are always wrong, and they’re especially good at fooling you."
Fang Yun and Song Qiaoqiao leaving together attracted the attention of some disciples.
They only discussed it briefly and didn’t delve deeper. It wasn’t wise to talk too much about Song Qiaoqiao.
Otherwise, if they started any rumors, they might get "invited" over by a Supreme Elder of the sect.
He parted ways with Song Qiaoqiao on the road.
Fang Yun returned to his residence, first restoring his Spiritual Power, then began consuming and refining Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills.
By the time he had finished refining two Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills, the day was nearly over.
In the remaining time, Fang Yun flipped through a book, absorbing its knowledge.
"It’s about time."
The moment Fang Yun closed the book, the settlement began.

After the settlement appeared, Fang Yun focused on the Talent Points gained from defeating the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivators and from refining the Upper Grade Profound Iron Shield.
’The Talent Points from defeating the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivators are decent. After all, I only defeated them. Getting this many points is already pretty good.’
’As for the Talent Points from refining the Upper Grade Profound Iron Shield, if I hadn’t used any substitute materials in the auxiliary ingredients, I probably would have gotten even more.’
The settlement of nearly three thousand Talent Points was quite a bit more than last month.
With 2984 Talent Points, plus the 636 left over from last month, he now had a total of 3620 Talent Points.
He could draw for a Combat Talent three times.
His Shield Talent was only three fragments away from upgrading to two stars.
Theoretically, after this draw for Combat Talent fragments, there was a chance he could upgrade his Shield Talent to two stars.
’A one-in-twenty-seven chance is still too low. That’s less than four percent.’
Fang Yun estimated his chances. It was best not to get his hopes up.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to upgrade a Combat Talent this month.
With a thought, Fang Yun initiated a three-draw sequence on the Combat Talent interface.
Sword Type Talent Fragment x2
Shield Talent Fragment x1
The results were in.
The Combat Talent display changed:
[Weapon] Shield Talent ★ (4/6)
[Weapon] Sword Type Talent ★ (3/6)
[Weapon] Shoe Talent ★ (1/6)
Fang Yun found the results of this draw acceptable.
Looking at his remaining Talent Points, he should be able to make another three draws for Combat Talents next month.
By then, the probability of upgrading a Combat Talent to two stars would be much higher.
He closed the light screen and went to bed.
...
「Mid-February.」
Having used up all his materials for refining Cyan Jade Pills, Fang Yun planned to go to the Disciple Marketplace to buy more.
This month, Fang Yun hadn’t managed to upgrade any of his Combat Talents to two stars. He’d had three chances to draw for Combat Talents at the beginning of the month, but the results were evenly distributed among the three talents.
So, the closest to a two-star Combat Talent was still his Shield Talent, which was now just one fragment away from an upgrade.
Fang Yun appeared in the Disciple Marketplace.
As usual, he first went to buy Cyan Spirit Flowers.
However, after searching all around, he couldn’t find a single Cyan Spirit Flower.
’Are there no Cyan Spirit Flowers left?’
As the main ingredient for refining Cyan Jade Pills, and the only Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Medicine, Fang Yun could understand why the Disciple Marketplace might run out.
After all, this was only the Disciple Marketplace.
Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Medicines were fine; there was basically no need to worry about them being out of stock.
Fang Yun glanced at his Storage Pouch and counted his Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills.
The Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills he currently had would only last him until early May. He still needed another fifty or sixty Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer by June.
Fang Yun had a contingency plan for this situation.
First, he could refine other types of pills to aid his cultivation.
There were three mainstream pills that mid-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Celestial Cloud Sect used to aid their cultivation.
If Upper Grade Cyan Jade Pills weren’t an option, he could use the other two types of upper-grade pills.
With his current three-star Alchemy Talent and his extensive experience refining Cyan Jade Pills, he could probably produce the corresponding upper-grade versions of similar pills in fewer than twenty batches.
Second, he could see if it was possible to buy Cyan Spirit Flowers within the next two or three months.
He definitely couldn’t just wait around foolishly in the Disciple Marketplace.
He needed to go check the place where Cyan Spirit Flowers were grown.
He could check on the growth status of the Cyan Spirit Flowers there and see if any senior brothers or sisters would be able to harvest a batch within the next two months.
After they submitted the required amount of Cyan Spirit Flowers to the sect, he could buy the rest from that senior brother or sister.
If he couldn’t acquire any Cyan Spirit Flowers, he would just refine new pills.
Soon, Fang Yun left the Disciple Marketplace.
