My Synthesizer Has Talent

Several days passed.

Su Qing went to find his master and asked how to obtain a Visualization Map similar to the Candle Dragon Visualization Map.

Ouyang Mingming told him that the top ten in the Sect’s grand competition would earn the right to enter again.

Otherwise, his only option was to go to the Holy Book Pavilion and buy an ordinary Visualization Map with Spirit Stones.

Those Visualization Maps were quite good, but they were definitely not as powerful as the Candle Dragon Visualization Map.

Then, Su Qing asked his master to take him flying up into the sky to have a look.

He was flatly refused.

Ouyang Mingming found the idea ridiculous. What could possibly be in the sky?

What good would flying up there do? The higher one flew, the thinner the Spiritual Qi became.

Who would want to live in the sky, unless they were an Immortal?

Therefore, Ouyang Mingming did not agree.

Su Qing had no choice but to try building a telescope himself to see if he could peer into outer space.

His recently self-created Visualization had shown no effect, and even his Synthesizer hadn’t acknowledged it. So, Su Qing wanted to observe the galaxy more closely to aid his Visualization.

He tinkered for another week.

Finally, Su Qing managed to build an astronomical telescope.

He kept adjusting and adjusting it for a long time, and the telescope grew to an enormous size.

Only then could he vaguely see a slightly magnified moon.

It seemed useless.

Su Qing gave up again.

"Damn it! I can’t just give up. I’m still young. I’ll take my time and figure it out. I refuse to believe I can’t create my own Visualization Map."

Su Qing made up his mind.

He began his seclusion.

And this seclusion...

...lasted a full month.

Liu Linlin even came by three or four times to ask if Su Qing was giving up on life.

After getting a response from Su Qing, she would leave again.

Now, Su Qing’s hair was a mess.

But his eyes were bright and full of spirit, with flecks of starlight flashing within them.

’Finally, I finally visualized it.’

[Unnamed Visualization Map: Visualize oneself as the lord of the galaxy, commanding its movements. Upon reaching Perfection in this Visualization, one can control myriad gravitational forces and achieve an immortal soul.]

[Synthesizable]

’I’ll name it: Lord of the Galaxy Visualization Technique.’

[Lord of the Galaxy Visualization Technique: Entry Level (0.0001/500)]

As for how Su Qing knew he had succeeded...

It was because the Unnamed Visualization Map had appeared on his Synthesizer’s panel.

A rare joy filled Su Qing.

He once again began to practice his Lord of the Galaxy Visualization Technique.

’0.0001 progress per minute?’ Su Qing thought after visualizing for an hour.

He came to this conclusion.

’It’s too slow. Way too slow.’

Su Qing calculated that at this rate, it would take him several years of constant Visualization just to go from Entry Level to Mastery.

Having created it himself, Su Qing knew how powerful this Visualization Technique was.

But this pitiful cultivation speed was simply too slow.

’Holy Book Pavilion... find a Visualization Map.’

’The Synthesizer!’

Su Qing’s thoughts returned to his Synthesizer.

Synthesis Lv39 (3721/4000)

[Synthesis Success Rate +39%, Mutated +1%, Evolution +20%, Divinization +1%, Demonization +1%, Immortal Transformation +1%, Spiritualization +1%, Standardization +1%, Dimensionalization +1%]

’Evolution... Evolution!’

Su Qing stared at the 20% probability for a long time, and a decision formed in his mind.

He didn’t know if he would regret this decision in the future, but right now, he definitely wouldn’t.

’Get Evolution to one hundred, push the probability to one hundred percent!!!’

A sense of urgency gripped Su Qing.

’Trade Spirit Stones for items.’

Su Qing started pondering.

He felt himself becoming extreme, but he couldn’t control it. Only Evolution could solve his current problems.

He did a few more calculations based on the Synthesizer’s experience levels.

To synthesize two items into one properly, he had to get the Evolution probability to 100%.

And for that, he would need over a million units of material!

As long as it was something that could be synthesized, it would work!

"..."

"..."

Su Qing was silent for a long time. He couldn’t think of anything he could get his hands on to synthesize nearly seven hundred thousand times.

"Shit!"

"That’s right! I can buy pasture grass!"

The idea struck him.

Without hesitation,

he went directly to the Marketplace to put out a request.

At a stall,

Su Qing set up a banner.

"Buying fresh pasture grass. 10,000 pounds for fifty Spirit Stones."

"Purchase limit: 100,000 pounds."

Su Qing was not short on Spirit Stones, so he placed fifty of them directly on the stall.

"Fresh pasture grass? 10,000 pounds for fifty Spirit Stones?"

"Is this for real? Feels like a scam."

A Cultivator came over and asked.

Pasture grass was just too worthless. Even a million pounds of it wasn’t necessarily worth fifty Spirit Stones.

"It’s an urgent need. First come, first served. Didn’t you see the purchase limit of 100,000 pounds?"

Su Qing couldn’t be bothered to explain further.

As soon as he said that, many of the observing Cultivators had already run off or teleported away.

They smelled an opportunity.

This guy was from a rich family. It would be foolish not to take his free Spirit Stones.

...

...

Just like that, within half a day, Su Qing had acquired 100,000 pounds of pasture grass.

---

After returning, Su Qing began to synthesize.

[Synthesis Failed]

[Synthesis Failed]

[Synthesis Failed]

Su Qing synthesized as if possessed.

He took the 100,000 pounds of pasture grass and fed it into the Synthesizer two stalks at a time.

Every attempt was a failure.

But as Su Qing watched the experience points continuously rise, he felt as if he were on stimulants.

Unstoppable.

...

「Two weeks later.」

[Synthesizer has reached Level 100. Synthesis Success Rate is now 100%.]

[Destiny’s Choice Initiated]:

1. [For every level gained henceforth, receive 1 additional point of Selectable Talent.]

Or

2. [Unlock the success probability for eight-item synthesis.]

"I choose 1."

Su Qing made his choice without the slightest hesitation.

’The Synthesizer’s Talents are what’s most important.’

’So what if I unlock the ability to synthesize eight items?’

’As long as I invest in enough Talents, I can still synthesize powerful things.’

’Besides, Cultivation Techniques can be replicated. I don’t care about the success rate for eight-item synthesis.’

What he cared about were the Talents within the Synthesizer.

[Choice has been made]

[Please confirm again]

"Confirm!"

Su Qing was resolute.

Then he went back to synthesizing his pasture grass.

...

Synthesis Lv110 (0/11200)

[Synthesis Success Rate +100%, Mutated +1%, Evolution +20%, Divinization +1%, Demonization +1%, Immortal Transformation +1%, Spiritualization +1%, Standardization +1%, Dimensionalization +1%] [Selectable Talent +81]

---

"Phew~"

Su Qing let out a long breath.

He originally thought he would need to get the Synthesizer to Level 120 to max out his Evolution Talent.

But now, he didn’t have to.

"Max out the Evolution Talent."

[Synthesis Success Rate +100%, Mutated +1%, Evolution, Divinization +1%, Demonization +1%, Immortal Transformation +1%, Spiritualization +1%, Standardization +1%, Dimensionalization +1%] [Selectable Talent +1]

[Evolution Talent has reached 100%. This Synthesis Talent can now be toggled on or off at will.]

"Finally!!!"

At this point, Su Qing truly couldn’t stay awake any longer.

He fell into a deep sleep.

「The next day.」

Ouyang Mingming came to Su Qing’s room and shook him awake. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation."

"Why is your soul still so weak?"

Ouyang Mingming had come to check whether Su Qing had been cultivating diligently.

"Master, I’ve been busy with Alchemy recently, trying to earn some more Spirit Stones," Su Qing said with a forced smile after waking up.

"I’m running low on Spirit Stones," Su Qing added, telling a small lie.

It was true; he really hadn’t cultivated at all this past month.

Other than creating his own Visualization Map.

"Look at you, so dispirited. How pathetic. Isn’t it just because you lost one match?" Ouyang Mingming said, looking at the disheveled Su Qing.

He hadn’t cleaned himself up in a month.

He was indeed a mess. He used to be a handsome young man, but now he had almost turned into an unkempt slob.

"You foolish disciple, if you can’t pull yourself together... forget about the Sect competition, what will happen when you go outside with insufficient Cultivation?"

"If you get yourself killed, I won’t even acknowledge you as my disciple!" Ouyang Mingming was furious at Su Qing for being so disappointing, for wasting an entire month of cultivation time.

She tapped a finger on Su Qing’s forehead.

[Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body: The signature technique of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. Qi Cultivation Chapter: Cultivates both the immortal and physical aspects simultaneously. At Great Success, one can draw a Thunder Tribulation to refine the body and temper the soul. Surviving the Thunder Tribulation leads to Perfection, where both soul and Physique are imbued with the aura of the tribulation, rendering one immune to all evils and impervious to all techniques.]

[Synthesizable]

"This is the Qi Cultivation Chapter of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body. If you cultivate it to Perfection, even a Fantasist at Candle Flame Perfection will have a hard time dealing with you."

Ouyang Mingming looked at Su Qing with a hint of disappointment.

"If you don’t show the slightest bit of progress in the next month, I’ll have Linlin take your entire year’s stipend from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect."

Su Qing nodded. "Master, I will work hard."

However, given his current dispirited appearance, his words were hardly convincing to Ouyang Mingming.

"Good. Su Qing, you should also try to infuse your own will into your Sword Intent. Only then will it become true Sword Intent."

After giving this one last piece of advice, Ouyang Mingming vanished from Su Qing’s sight.

"Thank you, Master."

This time, Su Qing’s thanks came straight from the heart, but he was the only one left in the room.
