My Synthesizer Has Talent

Fifteen days had passed since the Immortal Master’s death.

Xu Ningying had come to inform Su Qing previously.

She had told him the Immortal Master left Shangjing to handle some matters, and that she would notify Su Qing when it was time to depart for the Zhengxuan Sect.

’Immortal Master? I already killed him.’

Only Su Qing knew the truth.

This gave Su Qing a rare window of peace to cultivate. It also showed that Xu Ningying and her group had limited contact with these figures and wouldn’t dare to speculate on their own.

[Divine Concealment Technique +1, Divine Treasure]

Just today, his Divine Concealment Technique had broken through to the Third Layer, successfully reaching the Perfection Realm.

"Finally."

Su Qing could now feel the true marvel of the Divine Concealment Technique.

He barely had to actively circulate it; the technique would automatically conceal any trace of his supernatural power.

It made him appear to be an ordinary mortal.

While cultivating the Divine Concealment Technique, Su Qing had also been practicing the Five Qi God Demon Technique.

"Excellent."

Su Qing smiled.

’Now I can cultivate the Five Qi God Demon Technique even more effectively.’

’After I’m done with this, I’ll synthesize that Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique.’

’And turn it into a proper Qi Cultivation Technique.’

It seemed the only thing Su Qing lacked now was time.

Even Xu Ningying hadn’t been coming to see him much.

And Su Qing was in no mood to wander around either.

So, he spent nearly all his time in cultivation.

Besides, unlike remote areas, there was no need to worry about Demon Fiends appearing in a place like Shangjing.

So, Su Qing was truly at ease.

He could cultivate without any worries.

’The Body Tempering Limit, huh.’

’I reached the Body Tempering Limit just by cultivating the Five Qi God Demon Technique.’

Su Qing was absolutely ecstatic.

’If I wait until the Five Qi God Demon Technique +2 reaches Perfection...’

’My Five Qi God Demon Body will only grow stronger again.’

’By then, the speed at which I cultivate the Geng Metal Sword will be even faster.’

’Gaining 200 Skill Level points in a single session?’

’I really can’t even imagine it.’

Just thinking about it kept a smile plastered on his face.

However, Su Qing’s days of peaceful cultivation...

...were about to come to an end.

「Ten more days passed.」

[Five Qi God Demon Technique +2: Great Success (60/2000)]

——

While Su Qing was still cultivating,

Xu Ningying rushed over in a hurry.

"Su Qing, pack your things, quickly."

Su Qing was thoroughly confused.

"What’s wrong?"

"Another Immortal Master has arrived! He said he’s taking us disciples back to the Zhengxuan Sect tonight."

"So, as my Guardian, you need to hurry."

Xu Ningying was anxious.

She was afraid they would miss their chance.

"Don’t worry, I’ll pack right now."

Su Qing simply gathered his clothes and wrapped them in a large cloth bundle.

"You won’t believe it! It turns out the last Immortal Master didn’t leave on business—he went missing."

"A great and powerful Immortal Master just disappeared."

Xu Ningying’s pretty face was filled with disbelief, as she had only just learned the news herself.

That was why she immediately blurted it all out to Su Qing.

"Huh? How did an Immortal Master go missing?"

Su Qing feigned surprise, his hands never stopping as he gathered his useful belongings.

’Silver... What’s the use of silver now?’

’We’re probably leaving before the night is over.’

Xu Ningying was now following right at his heels.

’I can’t even synthesize a Divine Weapon now. If I’d known, I would’ve wasted some time to buy a weapon earlier.’

Su Qing was vexed, cursing himself for his laziness.

’There’s a world of difference between being armed and being unarmed.’

’Sometimes, the sharpness of a weapon is even more fearsome than pure strength.’

’And if you combine that sharpness with strength, the result would be even more terrifying.’

He finished packing quickly.

"Okay, I’m packed. Where are we supposed to wait?"

Xu Ningying didn’t respond.

Su Qing held the rather large bundle in his hands.

"This will have to do. Let’s hurry over to the Immortal Master."

Su Qing had no choice but to follow her.

Soon, they arrived at a familiar place.

A few people were already there.

Shangguan Muling was there as well.

"Well now, Little Ningying is here too. And Young Master Su, it’s been a while. Your disposition seems to have improved again."

Shangguan Muling complimented him.

"What’s so good about it? What can disposition do for him? A useless person with Five Spirit Roots, hmph."

Qianyun Yu snorted coldly, muttering sarcastically under his breath.

Although he muttered, everyone present heard him clearly.

The news of his Five Spirit Roots from the previous test had already spread among these powerful and influential families.

"Qianyun Yu, shut your mouth."

Hearing someone slander her Guardian, Xu Ningying shot Qianyun Yu a cold glare. No matter how unfamiliar she was with Su Qing, their interests were intertwined.

More importantly, the man’s composure practically overshadowed Qianyun Yu’s own.

Not to mention those five-colored eyes from last time.

She had a feeling that there was definitely more to this Su Qing than met the eye.

Qianyun Yu’s face flushed red at Xu Ningying’s rebuke, and he looked like he was about to say something else.

"And you’re proud of your Four Spirit Roots?"

Before Qianyun Yu could speak, Xu Ningying shot him another look filled with contempt.

He instantly became so angry his chest heaved.

Throughout all this, Su Qing didn’t say a single word.

"That’s enough bickering."

"You’re embarrassing the Great Yu Dynasty. The Immortal Master is right here."

The one who spoke was a handsome young man, his voice resonant and full of vigor. There was a faint air of majesty about him, and he stood tall and straight at one-point-nine meters.

"Yes, Third Prince." Xu Ningying had vented her frustration anyway, and seeing Qianyun Yu’s angry face made her quite happy.

Qianyun Yu had no choice but to fall silent, the red flush on his face subsiding significantly.

He did, however, shoot a cold glare at Su Qing, who still hadn’t made a single move.

Even if they were all destined to become Immortals, it didn’t matter at this moment.

After all, each of them was here alone, while the Third Prince represented the face of the Royal Family and Imperial Authority.

Until they reached a point where they could challenge the Great Yu Dynasty itself, they could not afford to let the Royal Family lose face.

Otherwise, their entire families would likely be in jeopardy.

Su Qing was simply speechless when it came to people like this.

He had seen plenty of them in his past life, so his policy was to ignore them whenever possible.

Ignoring them was the best way to handle such people.

’If that doesn’t work, one good slap will let them know you’re not to be trifled with.’

’Of course, that’s just the ideal scenario.’

’In the past, I didn’t dare to provoke them. Now, there’s simply no need.’

’He’s just running his mouth. If he actually tried to make a move... ’

’...his fate would be the same as that guy at the bottom of the nearby river.’

Seeing Su Qing’s calm, silent expression, Shangguan Muling couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master Su, you’re not even angry? Your temper is so good~"

Su Qing shot a look at Shangguan Muling. ’This woman. Does she think things aren’t messy enough?’

’What kind of thing is that to say? Would it be better if I got angry?’

"There’s no need. I don’t care about people just running their mouths."

Su Qing said coolly.

In truth, he was inwardly anxious, wondering if the new Immortal Master would investigate the one at the bottom of the river.

He didn’t know if the investigation would lead back to him.

"Alright, Su Qing, just wait here with me for now."

"Sister Ling, should we go get something to eat?"

"Of course," Shangguan Muling said with a smile, her bright eyes crinkling into crescents. Her smile was incredibly sweet.

She was even more charming than Xu Ningying.

The men present, even the Third Prince, couldn’t help but steal several glances at her.
