My Synthesizer Has Talent

After his breakthrough, Su Qing didn’t slack off at all.

Even after resting and sleeping, he would enter a state of Visualization.

Another week flew by in a flash.

[Earth Vein Resonance Technique: Perfection]

Su Qing was cultivating almost constantly.

Realm: Seventh-Layer Candle Flame [Quasi-Star River Visualization Map: Entry Level (1.3154/500)]

’At this rate of progress, it won’t be long before I reach an unprecedented level of strength.’

Su Qing also had his Evolution Talent, which had a one-hundred-percent trigger rate.

This would be a whole new stage for him.

’I need to keep practicing the Spirit Eye Technique until it reaches Perfection.’

’Later, I’ll find some time to synthesize more things and max out Mutated, Divinization, and Demonization.’

Su Qing thought that once he could no longer make any progress cultivating his Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +3,

he would take the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique and the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body, buy another cultivation technique from the Holy Book Pavilion, and synthesize them.

Now that he had Evolution, which forced a one-hundred-percent success rate for his Synthesizer,

Su Qing knew he probably didn’t need to replicate things anymore. Instead, he could just find powerful cultivation techniques, record them, and synthesize them.

This would allow him to obtain even stronger cultivation techniques.

’Spirit Stones...’

’When the time comes to buy cultivation techniques, I’ll go make and sell some elixirs.’

’Besides, now that I have a master, I can sell the elixirs I synthesize. As long as I don’t use Evolution during synthesis, the effects won’t be too ridiculous.’

’This way, one elixir can be as good as a hundred.’

Another week passed.

[Spirit Eye Technique +2: Perfection]

And another week after that.

"I’ve finally trained all my techniques to Perfection."

Su Qing looked at the panel with a pleased and very satisfied expression.

Now, only the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body was left.

"Cultivation techniques..."

"I’m out of Spirit Stones."

"Sigh~" Su Qing lamented.

He glanced at his medicine cauldron. He needed to buy Beast Fire, too.

...

...

He returned to his residence once more.

Su Qing had already gone to the Marketplace and bought a large quantity of medicinal herbs.

This time, he decided to refine Nourishing Yuan Pills.

Su Qing had spent almost all of his remaining few hundred Spirit Stones on herbs for Nourishing Yuan Pills.

Beast Fire, ignite.

A raging flame danced in Su Qing’s hands...

Su Qing began the refinement process in his Alchemy Room.

「Four days later.」

After processing all the medicinal herbs for the elixirs, Su Qing took a rest.

After resting for several hours, Su Qing awoke and inspected the elixirs he had refined.

Under Su Qing’s control, the one hundred-plus sets of herbs had all been turned into Nourishing Yuan Pills.

And not just that—he had made over a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills.

The yield from each batch was nine pills or more.

"1,239 Nourishing Yuan Pills."

’Hmm... I’ll use half to synthesize ordinary elixirs to sell.’

’The other half, I’ll try to synthesize using Evolution.’

[Premium Nourishing Yuan Pill: Better repairs and stabilizes weak or damaged meridians. Limited to the Qi Cultivation Realm.] x67

Su Qing synthesized again.

[Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill: Swiftly and gently repairs and stabilizes weak or damaged meridians, increases a cultivator’s natural aptitude by one percent.]

"Huh?"

Looking at the description for the Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill, Su Qing couldn’t help but feel he had created something too hot to handle.

’I can’t sell this kind of Nourishing Yuan Pill!’

Fortunately, Su Qing had only synthesized it once. It seemed he could only sell the Premium Nourishing Yuan Pills.

He realized that the Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills were probably better to sell, since they only offered a ten percent chance of breaking through a Small Realm in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

That wasn’t a huge problem.

But an elixir that increased a cultivator’s natural aptitude was exceedingly rare.

"Activate Evolution Talent."

Su Qing no longer hesitated.

He began synthesizing from the most ordinary Nourishing Yuan Pills.

[Premium Nourishing Yuan Pill (Evolved): Ten times the efficacy of a Premium Nourishing Yuan Pill. Potent for the Qi Cultivation Realm, but with negligible effects for the Golden Core Realm.]

There were 68 in total.

Su Qing synthesized them all into Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pills.

[Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill (Evolved): Ten times the efficacy of a Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill. Increases a cultivator’s own natural aptitude by ten percent.]

In the end, only 7 of the Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pills were Evolved, while 1 was not.

He also had 5 Evolved Premium Nourishing Yuan Pills and 58 regular Premium Nourishing Yuan Pills.

’With all these elixirs, maybe I can sell that one non-Evolved Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill.’

As for the 7 Evolved Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pills,

Su Qing gladly kept them for himself, of course.

An elixir like this should never have existed in the world.

If Su Qing dared to reveal even a single one, he would face disaster.

Now, after synthesizing everything, Su Qing set off for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s Marketplace.

...

"What? You’re selling Premium Nourishing Yuan Pills?"

"And a Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill?"

"How come I’ve never heard of those?"

A passing cultivator stopped by Su Qing’s stall.

"Fifty Spirit Stones for one ’Premium’ pill?"

"And you’re selling one ’Top Grade’ Nourishing Yuan Pill for three thousand Spirit Stones?"

"Are you crazy? You must be desperate for Spirit Stones."

Su Qing remained silent, simply smiling at the man before taking out the token that symbolized his status.

"A Tr-True Disciple."

"Even if you are a True Disciple..." The passerby trailed off, stammering halfway through his sentence before leaving without another word.

However, the display had attracted a larger crowd.

"A True Disciple?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Wow!"

"That’s Su Qing, ranked ninetieth on the Celestial Pride List! I heard he was taken as a disciple by Elder Ouyang."

"Yeah, the Celestial Pride List... Doesn’t that mean he could take on all of us at once?"

"That’s right. They say his cultivation has already reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, and his physique is so tough that not even a Tier One Middle Grade Magical Artifact can break it."

...

The people in the crowd discussed amongst themselves, wanting to go up and ask if he would sell for a lower price.

But no one actually wanted to buy anything.

Even a True Disciple shouldn’t be swindling people.

Especially with these unknown products.

Just because you slap a "Premium" label on the bottle doesn’t mean you can sell it as a premium item.

And especially not that "Top Grade" Nourishing Yuan Pill.

Asking three thousand Spirit Stones for it.

And another five Nourishing Yuan Pills were going for five hundred Spirit Stones.

All told, it was almost seven or eight thousand Spirit Stones.

This True Disciple sure knows how to make Spirit Stones.

None of the onlookers were willing to buy.

Su Qing didn’t bother explaining. He just treated it as a chance opportunity he was offering.

If no one bought them this time, Su Qing would just refine elixirs and sell them directly to the shops in the Marketplace next time.

The shops could definitely afford them anyway.

With his alchemy skills, how could he possibly worry about not being able to earn Spirit Stones?

By noon, no one had bought anything. At most, they just asked a few questions.

But they always backed off after seeing the price.

"These elixirs, I’ll take them all."

Hearing this voice, Su Qing immediately looked up.

"Song Zhining?"

"You want to buy my elixirs?"

"That’s right, Su Qing!"

"Let’s reintroduce ourselves, Su Qing. I’m Song Zhining. I never intended to be your enemy." After nearly two months, Song Zhining’s aura seemed to have become much calmer.

"This isn’t a matter of intention," Su Qing said, shaking his head and rejecting him outright.

"Su Qing, you should know how you became my enemy. You need to understand something. Those mortals had nothing to do with you. You were the one at the Zhengxuan Sect, acting as a Demon Exterminator, trying to hunt me down and kill me. If you had just left Pingchuan City back then, none of this would have happened."

"Secondly, both of us are now in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, and we’re both True Disciples. Let’s give our respective masters some face," Song Zhining said calmly.

"The last time, you beat me so badly I lost control. During the sect competition, I retaliated. Just think of me as a petty person. Petty people hold grudges and like to keep tabs on others."

"I don’t want someone keeping tabs on me, and you probably don’t want me keeping tabs on you, right?"

"Especially since you’re now in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? You’re a demon cultivator too!"

"Don’t pretend you’re some kind of good guy."

Su Qing shook his head. "I never thought I was a good guy. And I know whether I’m a demon cultivator or not."

Su Qing fell silent for a moment. Song Zhining still hadn’t left.

To see if this guy was truly sincere about resolving their conflict, Su Qing suddenly had an idea. ’Why not make things difficult for him and find out?’

He was just worrying about not being able to sell his elixirs.

So, Su Qing said, "Fine. Since you don’t want to be enemies..."

"Then all the elixirs here... double the price."

"Buy them all, and we’ll no longer be enemies." Su Qing had no desire to interact with this Song Zhining any more than necessary.
