My Synthesizer Has Talent

"Spirit Fruits?"

Su Qing took out the Spirit Fruits and glanced at them.

[Vermilion Yuan Fruit: The fruit of a Vermilion Origin Tree, which matures once every thirty years. It can increase a Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivator’s Immortal Cultivation Talent by one percent. It contains a large amount of Spiritual Qi and must be refined as soon as possible after consumption.]

[Blue Crystal Fruit: The fruit of a Blue Crystal Cluster, which matures once every twenty years. It contains a large amount of Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy. Consuming and refining it can increase a Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivator’s Immortal Cultivation Talent by one percent.]

...

’Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.’

’Vermilion Origin Tree, Blue Crystal Cluster.’

’But they take too long to grow. So many years just for one harvest.’

Su Qing couldn’t help but grumble to himself after reading the descriptions from his Synthesizer.

’Waiting that long for fruit, only to get such a tiny increase in Immortal Cultivation Talent.’

’My Synthesizer is still the best.’

’Super Tier Nourishing Yuan Pills, now that’s what you want.’

Su Qing shook his head.

He took out ten thousand catties of hay.

Then he resumed grinding levels for his Synthesizer.

’This time, I have to at least get Divinization to a 100% success rate.’

...

[Synthesis Failed]

[Synthesis Failed]

...

...

A month passed.

Aside from his Visualization Technique, which allowed him to multitask and increase his Soul Power, Su Qing spent all his time on synthesis.

His master had actually come by two days ago and given him the subsequent Foundation Establishment Techniques for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body.

[Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body: The signature technique of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. Foundation Establishment Chapter: Cultivates both immortality and the body simultaneously. At Great Success, one can draw a Thunder Tribulation to refine the body. Body Tempering purges the soul. Surviving the Thunder Tribulation leads to Perfection, achieving the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body at Minor Achievement. One will master all Thunder Techniques, possess an unparalleled Physique, and be impervious to all evil.]

[Synthesizable]

...

Su Qing also finished synthesizing the one hundred thousand catties of hay.

——

Synthesis Lv. 166 (13156/16700)

[Synthesis Success Rate +100%, Mutated +1%, Evolution, Divinization +1%, Demonization +1%, Immortal Transformation +1%, Spiritualization +1%, Standardization +1, Dimensionalization +1] [Selectable Talent +113]

——

——

"Max out the Divinization Talent."

Su Qing didn’t hesitate.

Synthesis Lv. 166 (13156/16700)

[Synthesis Success Rate +100%, Mutated +1%, Evolution, Divinization, Demonization +1%, Immortal Transformation +1%, Spiritualization +1%, Standardization +1, Dimensionalization +1] [Selectable Talent +14]

——

The percentage chance for Divinization was gone.

This meant that Su Qing could now control two synthesis Talents.

’Divinization.’

’Finally.’

’But a whole month of synthesizing... that was a really long time.’ Although Su Qing grumbled, he was absolutely ecstatic.

He finally had a synthesis Talent with a special effect.

’Finally...’ Su Qing was overcome with a joy he could hardly put into words.

Evolution was powerful, but pairing a special effect Talent with the Evolution Talent was what would be truly terrifying.

’Now things will be different.’

Su Qing looked at his remaining 14 points of Selectable Talent.

He glanced at Mutated.

This time, he chose not to spend any more points.

Instead, he decided to save them. Now that he had Evolution and Divinization, Su Qing knew he didn’t want to rely on low-probability triggers for one-percent synthesis Talents anytime soon.

That would be a huge waste.

’Synthesize once with Divinization, then turn it off and switch on Evolution... The possibilities are mind-boggling!’

Su Qing smiled.

He felt it was time to try it out on some Elixirs.

’Wait, I haven’t synthesized the Fire Nurturing Technique yet.’

The moment he thought of Alchemy, the Fire Nurturing Technique came to mind.

"Replicate the Fire Nurturing Technique nine times."

As usual, Su Qing replicated the Fire Nurturing Technique nine times at once.

Replicating it nine times in one go caused a slight pain in his soul, but there were no other major effects.

"Activate Divinization, deactivate Evolution."

He placed the nine identical copies of the Fire Nurturing Technique inside.

"Synthesize."

[Synthesis Successful: Divinization Triggered]

[Divine Fire Technique: Refine flames, nurturing them into divine fire and causing them to develop Divinity.]

Reading the description of this Divine Fire Technique, Su Qing was overjoyed.

"Extract."

He had now obtained the cultivation method for the Divine Fire Technique.

Of course, Su Qing wasn’t satisfied with just this.

"Replicate the Divine Fire Technique once." The replication began, and Su Qing didn’t feel much of an effect.

After all, it was only one replication.

Following the same procedure, Su Qing replicated it eight more times.

This time, Su Qing activated Evolution, not Divinization.

"Synthesize."

[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]

[Divine Fire Technique +1 (Evolved): Refines flames. The effect of nurturing flames into divine fire is enhanced 20-fold. Causes the flame to develop Divinity, and the effect of the Divinity is enhanced 20-fold.]

"Extract."

Su Qing once again obtained the Divine Fire Technique +1 Cultivation Technique.

"Now *this* is the power of Divinization," Su Qing laughed.

However, Su Qing knew that half a day had already passed.

’The Divine Fire Technique is all set. All I’m missing is a flame.’

’A Fire Seed costs 200 Spirit Stones... wait, I have Divinization now.’

’I can just synthesize all the Fire Seeds together.’

Su Qing figured that shop had at least ten different kinds of Fire Seeds.

Even though they were cheap, with Divinization, the resulting flame would probably be divinized.

’Divinization plus Evolution.’

Su Qing thought that this venture, at least, would cost a fair few Spirit Stones.

’Good thing I sold those Nourishing Yuan Pills to Song Zhining back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have enough Spirit Stones to spend.’

With that, Su Qing headed out.

He arrived at the shop in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect that specialized in Fire Seeds.

By chance, Su Qing saw a familiar face.

"Senior Sister Bai, you’re here too?" Su Qing smiled and walked up, speaking politely.

Bai Mianmian, who had been busy picking out Fire Seeds, looked up when she heard someone call her name.

A face that was both familiar and strange. Seeing his rather dashing appearance, Bai Mianmian felt that she didn’t know him.

"And you are?" Bai Mianmian asked.

"It’s Su Qing. You helped me out at the Holy Pill Hall."

"Su Qing!" It finally clicked for Bai Mianmian. Recently, rumors about Su Qing had been spreading everywhere, all because this very same Su Qing had successfully cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body.

As an Inner Sect Disciple and an Alchemy Master, Bai Mianmian had naturally heard some of the talk.

And because she was an Alchemy Master, she hadn’t signed up for the Sect’s grand tournament. The Spirit Stones from that were nothing compared to what she could earn safely and steadily through Alchemy.

"I have some impression of you. You’re the disciple the two Elders from Cold Extremity Peak were fighting over. The one with the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body."

"I really envy you. But you shouldn’t call me Senior Sister anymore."

"You’re a True Inheritor now. I should be the one calling you Senior Brother," Bai Mianmian said very politely.

Su Qing actually quite liked the Bai Mianmian before him, simply because of her white hair. It looked really good.

"Are you also here to pick out Fire Seeds, Senior Sister Bai?"

"Of course. But it’s better if Senior Brother Su calls me Junior Sister." Bai Mianmian was quite particular about titles based on status.

Su Qing laughed. "In that case, Senior... Junior Sister, please continue. I’m also here to buy some Fire Seeds."

"Shopkeeper, I want nine of every type of Fire Seed you have in the store."

"And give me an extra thirty-six of the Thunderbird Fire Seeds."

The Shopkeeper’s eyes lit up. A big customer! He beamed and said, "Su Zhenchuan, please wait a moment."

’Huh? Does this Shopkeeper know me too?’

Su Qing himself was a little stunned, but he waited nonetheless.

Bai Mianmian, standing to the side, was also shocked, wondering what Su Qing could possibly need so many Fire Seeds for.

But all Cultivators have their secrets. One generally didn’t ask questions like, "What are you buying so many Fire Seeds for?"

That would be extremely rude.

"Senior Brother is truly willing to spend Spirit Stones," Bai Mianmian said with a small laugh. "I’ve already bought my Fire Seeds. Goodbye, Senior Brother. I’ll be taking my leave."

"Mm, okay," Su Qing nodded.

...

The Shopkeeper brought out all the Fire Seeds.

"Su Zhenchuan, there are fourteen types of Fire Seeds in total."

"The total comes to 24,590 Spirit Stones."

"Since it’s Su Zhenchuan, I’ll round it down. 24,000 Spirit Stones will do."

’That cheap?’

"Alright, then." Su Qing paid the Spirit Stones, packed all the Fire Seeds into his Storage Ring, and left.

’Okay, I can get all the Fire Seeds to +1 now. That should work.’

’Wait!! No!!’

Su Qing had just stepped out of the shop when he froze in his tracks.

’Why am I so stupid!’
