My Synthesizer Has Talent

’The Dragon and Tiger Pill and the Standardized Qi Nourishing Pill are for my own use.’

’The Immortal Qi Pill and the Great Immortal Qi Pill go without saying. I’m definitely keeping those.’

’As for the Demon Qi Pill and the Great Demon Qi Pill, I can sell those at a high price.’

’I’ll just use the Godly Energy Pill right away.’

Su Qing pondered for a moment. He decided to keep the Qi Nourishing Pill that had gained Spiritual Wisdom for now, leaving it in his small cabin. He wanted to see just how this elixir would go about its Cultivation.

’If it proves useful to me in the future, I won’t consume it. If not, I’ll just eat it.’

Without hesitation, Su Qing directly consumed a Godly Energy Pill.

Then he took a Standardized Qi Nourishing Pill as well.

HAAAAH...

The two Elixirs went down into his stomach.

Su Qing immediately felt his spirits lift, full of vigor.

’This feeling of a portion of my Magical Power nourishing my soul... it’s really nice.’

’Too bad it only lasts for an hour.’

Su Qing gathered the Elixirs he had synthesized.

He had to sell these Elixirs for a high price, no matter what.

All of his Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills had a ten percent chance of causing a breakthrough within the Qi Cultivation Realm.

For an Elixir like this, even selling it for one or two thousand Spirit Stones wouldn’t be expensive.

He might even be able to sell one for ten or twenty thousand.

It was an exclusive Elixir.

’Who else could refine it?’

...

...

At a stall in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s Marketplace.

A Demon Cultivator was shouting, "Hey, hey, hey! I’m trying to negotiate the price in good faith, and you’re insisting on 3,000 Spirit Stones?"

"3,000 is already a bargain for a Great Demon Qi Pill. If you can’t afford it, don’t try to haggle with me."

Su Qing replied indifferently. This was the third Demon Cultivator to ask him this.

"Who knows if your Elixir is as amazing as you claim? Sell one to me for 50 Spirit Stones and let me try it."

"Get lost!"

Su Qing instantly unleashed the aura of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

He was wearing a black Cloak, so no one knew who he was. And Su Qing had no intention of letting anyone find out his identity.

He didn’t want to owe anyone any favors, because as soon as he revealed himself...

...his Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body alone would be enough for them to invest in him.

The moment the Foundation Establishment Realm aura erupted, the Demon Cultivator before him stumbled back a few steps in fear. "Spare me, my lord! It’s my fault, my fault!"

"Scram!" Su Qing said impatiently.

After all, fighting was forbidden within the Sect.

But that Rule only applied inside the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. Outside its borders, there were no such rules.

It was just like when Su Qing had returned to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.

Those few Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators had been able to lie in wait for him right at the entrance to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s Pocket World.

How very typical of the Demon Dao.

The Demon Dao wasn’t about extreme chaos; it just didn’t meddle too much.

At the same time, it wouldn’t look after you too much, either. Whether you lived or died was up to your own destiny.

...

Su Qing waited for a long time.

Only one person had spent two thousand Spirit Stones to purchase a single Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

Su Qing didn’t get frustrated. As far as he was concerned, if they didn’t buy, it was their loss for missing out on his excellent goods.

It wasn’t because his Elixirs were trash.

Su Qing didn’t have to wait much longer.

A young-looking man came up to Su Qing’s stall.

The Demonic Qi was practically overflowing from his body. His face was dark, and his expression was faintly contorted.

"This Great Demon Qi Pill... can it really stabilize one’s mind?" the young man asked.

"Mm, it’s only effective for those in the Qi Cultivation Realm," Su Qing said, not wanting to elaborate.

"Three thousand Spirit Stones... can you go any lower?"

"The price is non-negotiable," Su Qing stated flatly.

Gritting his teeth, the young man in front of him took out thirty Pure Water Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring.

"I’ll take it."

Su Qing accepted the thirty Pure Water Spirit Stones and handed the Great Demon Qi Pill to the man.

The Great Demon Qi Pill was sold.

He had only earned a few thousand Spirit Stones today.

Su Qing packed up his stall and headed home.

’This is so hard... Foundation Establishment Techniques, Foundation Establishment Techniques!’

Su Qing sighed, wondering when he would finally be able to obtain some Foundation Establishment Techniques.

’After I finish up at the stall tomorrow, I’ll go look for Song Zhining.’

’I’ll see if that guy is still around.’

Su Qing didn’t mind selling him an Evolution-quality Nourishing Yuan Pill. At least that way, they wouldn’t owe each other anything.

As for seeking out that Cyan Flame Heaven fellow... sure, he would most likely choose to buy all of Su Qing’s Elixirs.

But he would be doing it as a favor to Su Qing, not because of the Elixirs’ effects. How could Su Qing be happy with that?

That would mean truly owing a favor.

’So annoying... Spirit Stones.’

’I have no idea how long I’d have to sell normal Elixirs just to afford a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Technique.’

That night, Su Qing silently consumed the Immortal Qi Pill.

He had one hour to see how much Immortal Qi he could refine.

His automatic refinement was already very powerful.

But after consuming the Immortal Qi Pill, nearly a full hour went by without a single wisp of Immortal Qi appearing.

It wasn’t until the Elixir’s effects wore off that a wisp of Immortal Qi finally appeared inside Su Qing’s body, only to be instantly absorbed.

Su Qing felt a faint surge of Life Force merge into him, and at the same time, his body seemed to feel a bit lighter.

’Immortal Qi... One Immortal Qi Pill only yields a single wisp.’

’Damn it.’

Su Qing proceeded to take the Great Immortal Qi Pill.

’Good things like this should be all for me.’

As expected, the Great Immortal Qi Pill only extended Su Qing’s lifespan by a little over twenty years.

Including the regular Immortal Qi Pill, Su Qing estimated he could now live to be three or four hundred years old.

A normal Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could live to be at least two hundred-some years old.

A powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator could live past three hundred.

’As expected, lifespan is what truly drives people mad.’

After experiencing this Immortal Qi, Su Qing felt that Magical Power was complete trash in comparison.

’Immortal Transformation has its benefits, but Standardization is just too damn good.’

Su Qing sighed. If he really had to choose, maxing out Standardization was a much better deal than maxing out Immortal Transformation.

Su Qing didn’t hesitate at all.

He consumed a Dragon and Tiger Pill.

After refining it, he instantly gained a year’s worth of True Essence.

Even after consuming the Elixir, he still couldn’t fill all of Su Qing’s Pocket Worlds.

Su Qing’s Five Elements Reincarnation Body already minimized his True Essence consumption.

Although it wasn’t True Essence, he had no shortage of Five Elements Divine Origin Qi, and converting that into True Essence was hardly difficult.

Moreover, Su Qing now barely needed to absorb external Spiritual Qi for his Cultivation.

The Five Elements Divine Origin Qi generated by his 365 Pocket Worlds was already enough for Su Qing’s Cultivation needs.

...

...

「The next day.」

Su Qing went to the Marketplace early to set up his stall.

The young man from yesterday was already waiting at the Marketplace early in the morning for Su Qing to set up.

His complexion had returned to normal, and his eyes shone with excitement and joy.

Su Qing’s face was covered, but after seeing the contents of the stall, the young man knew that this was the person who sold him the Elixir yesterday.

"Vendor, what Elixirs do you have? Do you still have yesterday’s Demon Qi Pill?"

"Yes, one thousand Spirit Stones," Su Qing replied flatly.

"Only one left."

"I’ll take it." The young man directly handed the Spirit Stones to Su Qing, as if afraid someone else would snatch it from him.

Su Qing accepted the one thousand ordinary Spirit Stones and gave the Demon Qi Pill to the man.

After taking the Demon Qi Pill, the young man noticed the Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills on Su Qing’s stall.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Vendor, are these Qi Nourishing Pills also real?"

"Mm."

"One thousand Spirit Stones each."

"I’ll take three."

Even though he was a Demon Cultivator, he could still resell them to others.

The young man left, and just like that, Su Qing had earned four thousand Spirit Stones.

’I’m so tempted to sell the Evolution-quality Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills.’

Su Qing sighed internally. His evolved Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills could sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones each, and people would definitely buy them.

’A guaranteed breakthrough, after all.’

’Take nine of them, and you’d be straight at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.’

Su Qing waited there for a while.

But then he saw someone with a True Disciple’s Token. There were words on it.

Qin Se.

’Hm...’

’Is there a place called that in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect?’

’How come I’ve never heard of it?’

The newcomer was a young girl at the Qi Cultivation Initial Tier. She looked very delicate and cute, with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Hey! Are these Elixirs of yours real or fake?"

"..."

’What a stupid question. I’m the one selling them; would I say my own Elixirs are fake?’

Su Qing didn’t respond.

He was most wary of True Disciples right now, as they could easily recognize him.

"They’re real."

"And the price is non-negotiable."

Su Qing lowered his voice.

"Alright then, give me twenty of these Qi Nourishing Pills."

"Don’t even think about tricking me. If you do, I’ll have my master hunt you down!"

"Heh." Su Qing let out a disdainful scoff. ’As if she’s the only one with a master.’

’Would I, Su Qing, really be scared of a True Disciple?’

’She’d better hope she doesn’t run into me during the Sect’s grand competition, or I’ll spank her until her butt blossoms.’
