My Synthesizer Has Talent

Su Qing spent three hours practicing this Swordsmanship.

Then he rested.

He woke up early the next morning.

Su Qing went to check out his new house.

He hadn’t expected Yinyin to take him there directly.

The inside wasn’t massive, but it was by no means small.

There was a main house, along with all the other necessary rooms.

By the standards of this era, it would be considered a mansion.

But for Su Qing, it still wasn’t convenient enough.

He would just have to make do.

A concealment Technique.

She had given that to Su Qing as well.

Su Qing was quite touched. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This woman, Xu Ningying, was loaded. If not for the existence of Immortal Cultivation Sects, she would absolutely be a tycoon.

But alas, there were no what-ifs.

Su Qing was indeed poor at the moment, but in another sense, he was also very rich.

Su Qing just lacked the right opportunity.

’If I’d transmigrated as the son of even the lowest-ranking disciple in a Sect, my accomplishments would already be far greater than they are now.’

The Cultivation Techniques Su Qing was using now were the absolute worst.

If he could just get his hands on one of this world’s top Cultivation Techniques to practice...

He couldn’t even imagine how incredible that would feel.

[Hidden Spirit Skill: A Cultivation Technique for concealing one’s emitted Spiritual Qi. Effect: mediocre.]

"Duplicate nine times."

The Synthesizer finished duplicating.

However, Su Qing didn’t feel much of an effect.

"Synthesize."

’No sensation means this Technique is very low-grade,’ Su Qing thought.

[Synthesis Successful: Hidden Spirit Skill +1]

"Duplicate Hidden Spirit Skill +1 nine times."

Su Qing duplicated them again.

The Synthesizer appeared.

This time, he felt a slight dizziness, but it was still tolerable.

"Synthesize."

Su Qing placed the nine copies of Hidden Spirit Skill +1 into the Synthesizer and initiated the synthesis.

[Synthesis Successful: Hidden Spirit Skill +2]

’The Second Layer.’

’Not good enough. I’ll keep going.’

Su Qing was not satisfied.

"Duplicate Hidden Spirit Skill +2 nine times."

It felt as if a hammer had struck Su Qing’s head, and a headache began to throb.

He knew this was a side effect of the Synthesizer’s duplication process.

However, after a few minutes’ rest, he recovered.

’After all, my power has increased significantly. I don’t have to worry about suddenly passing out anymore.’

"Synthesize."

Su Qing was taking a gamble, hoping to trigger his Evolution Talent.

His Evolution Talent was at 10% now, but his luck just wasn’t holding up.

[Synthesis Failed]

A failure was a failure.

In any case, Su Qing was mentally resilient enough to take it.

"Again."

Su Qing knew his luck was not very good.

But that couldn’t extinguish his determination to trigger the Evolution Talent.

[Synthesis Successful: Divinity Transformation Talent Triggered]

[Divine Concealment Technique: The Secret of Concealing Divine Qi. Circulating this Technique allows one to assume the state of a mortal.]

"Hmm..."

’Divinization doesn’t seem half bad either.’

’I just don’t know how effective it is.’

Su Qing silently looked at this Divine Concealment Technique.

"Extract."

After extracting it, a flood of information on how to cultivate the Divine Concealment Technique entered Su Qing’s mind.

It wasn’t categorized by stages like Entry Level and Perfection.

It was divided into three layers.

The first layer was Mortal Transformation. It truly turned one into a mortal, with their body fully transformed and their power gone. Their power would only return when they stopped circulating the Technique.

The second layer was Divine Concealment. Outwardly, one appeared to be a mortal, but their body retained its original power, making it difficult for others to detect.

The third layer was Divine Treasure. All of one’s power and Spiritual Qi would be completely hidden and undetectable, yet they would still retain their full strength.

’It’s that powerful?’

Su Qing looked at the two Puppets around him.

’The worst that can happen is I’ll just have to sleep it off,’ he thought.

"Duplicate Divine Concealment Technique once."

His head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy sledgehammer.

Su Qing found the sensation tolerable.

’It seems the Divinization resulted in a special effect. It’s not about raw power, but about it becoming a Top Grade Cultivation Method.’

...

[Divine Concealment Technique +1]

After working for half the day, Master Su finally looked with satisfaction at the Cultivation Technique he had synthesized.

Su Qing hadn’t gone to his lessons today, not that he cared.

However, Su Qing wasn’t satisfied with learning just over a hundred characters per day.

Thus.

He started cultivating the Divine Concealment Technique.

[Divine Concealment Technique +1, Mortal Transformation (10/10000)]

After a while.

Su Qing looked at the Cultivation Technique on the panel.

As expected, he saw that the required Skill Level was a whopping ten thousand.

He had gained 10 Skill Level points in under five minutes.

Su Qing felt that it was actually quite easy to cultivate.

After all, a Concealing Breath Skill wouldn’t be a good one if it couldn’t be used continuously.

However, multitasking like this made Su Qing a little uncomfortable.

He would just have to get used to multitasking first.

It was just that while the Cultivation Technique was active, he truly possessed not a shred of Spiritual Qi, and his physical strength completely vanished.

Fortunately, he had the two synthesized Puppets by his side.

Otherwise, Su Qing wouldn’t have kept it running continuously.

Su Qing circulated Mortal Transformation for a whole night.

When he got up the next morning,

Su Qing went to Sanmei Academy.

He spent one hundred taels of silver to hire a tutor, Mr. Jiaozhi, for five days.

He would come to Su Qing’s residence to teach him how to read and write.

"This is the character for deer."

"A deer is a type of animal with antlers on its head."

"The ’deer’ as in ’sika deer’?"

"Yes, yes, that’s the one." Mr. Jiaozhi was about to say more, surprised that Su Qing was so well-informed.

But Su Qing cut him off. "Next character. I’ve already learned this one."

"Uh..."

"Alright."

After all, he was hired by Su Qing, and twenty taels of silver a day was a considerable income.

They studied from morning until it was almost dark.

If not for the constant supply of hot water to drink, Mr. Jiaozhi felt his throat would have gone completely hoarse.

They had been studying for a full six hours.

If not for the large sum of silver, and the fact that Mr. Jiaozhi had tested Su Qing on the characters he’d learned a few times, he would have thought Su Qing was just using money to humiliate him.

Learning over a thousand characters in six hours.

It was truly terrifying.

The world is a vast and wondrous place.

’Four days left. I hope I can finish teaching him quickly,’ he thought.

Mr. Jiaozhi sighed to himself. During today’s lesson, after Su Qing noticed how verbose the tutor was,

Su Qing said directly, "The sooner you finish teaching me the common characters, the sooner I’ll give you the silver for all five days."

After that, Mr. Jiaozhi’s explanations became extremely brief, yet Su Qing could still understand them.

He began teaching with everything he had.

Mr. Jiaozhi left.

After Su Qing lit some candles,

He released his Puppets and began his Cultivation.

The Divine Concealment Technique needed to be cultivated.

The Geng Metal Sword·Demon also needed to be cultivated.

There was too much time at night.

Especially in winter.

Su Qing dedicated seven hours of Cultivation to each Technique.

「By morning.」

Su Qing put away the Puppets and glanced at the Technique panel.

Technique: [Geng Metal Sword·Demon +1: Entry Level (73/500)]

[Divine Concealment Technique +1, Mortal Transformation (2015/10000)]

Very good.

It was just that the Geng Metal Sword·Demon was a bit more difficult.

Even with the boost from his Five Qi God Demon Body, the Skill Level grew so slowly, which really went to show how formidable this offensive Technique was.

「Day after day passed.」

In five days, Su Qing had learned all the common characters.

In this era, only families with a bit of wealth could afford literacy.

He recalled his past life, where there had even been mass literacy campaigns.

That just went to show how much time and money were required to become literate.

Technique: [Geng Metal Sword·Demon +1: Entry Level (243/500)]

[Divine Concealment Technique +1, Mortal Transformation (6215/10000)]

After five days, the Divine Concealment Technique was close to a breakthrough.

Being cooped up at home every day, Su Qing was starting to feel the need to go out and clear his head.

「That night.」

He didn’t cultivate.

Su Qing was lying in the arms of a young woman.

He lay there comfortably as she massaged him and fed him wine.

It was utter bliss.

’No wonder everyone wants to be a member of the idle rich. Having money is great.’

Although it seemed Su Qing didn’t need to spend money, as he could get by on his looks alone.

But Su Qing paid her anyway.

He enjoyed himself all night, sleeping with the young woman in his arms until morning.

He left under the young woman’s mournful gaze, leaving twenty taels of silver behind as he went.
