My Synthesizer Has Talent

Su Qing synthesized all the Iron Swords and Profound Iron Swords.

He didn’t care if they failed.

In the end, he was left with:

[Perfect Profound Steel Sword: Slices through iron like mud, incomparably tough, and second to none in this world.]

The sword looked incredible.

Su Qing loved it.

However, when he tried to channel Spiritual Qi into it, there was no effect. Ultimately, it was not a product of Immortal Cultivation.

Su Qing hesitated for a moment.

He gathered all the swords that had triggered a talent

and decided to synthesize them all at once.

Su Qing took the Profound Steel Sword, two Demon Swords, one Immortal Sword, two Divine Swords, the Broken Blade, the sword that had gained Spiritual Wisdom, and a sharp Iron Sword.

Nine swords in total.

[Synthesis Successful: Blade of Wholeness]

[Blade of Wholeness: A sword born with Spiritual Wisdom, infused with the power of Immortals, Gods, and Demons. It can shatter defenses, its blade can separate into a thousand shards controlled by will, and it can be bound to a master through blood.]

Blade of Wholeness.

Surprisingly, this wasn’t a product of forced synthesis.

’Extract.’

After extracting it, Su Qing saw the three colors on the blade—purple, white, and cyan—swirling in a gradient. The glint from the blade was dazzling. The hilt was archaic and simple, but the unknown patterns on it looked incredibly cool.

When Su Qing lifted it,

it was quite heavy.

He even struggled a bit to hold it.

He needed to offer his blood.

Su Qing bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the blade.

In an instant, Su Qing felt a connection form between himself and the blade. Crucially, the sword possessed Spiritual Wisdom.

It could protect its master.

Once the bond was formed, Su Qing examined the blade carefully for a moment before quietly putting it away.

He stored it inside his Synthesizer.

He knew the truth in the old saying: to carry a jade is to commit a crime. A treasure like this would only invite disaster.

This was, after all, a sword that contained a trace of Immortal Qi.

Su Qing didn’t dare to keep it out for long.

...

Su Qing’s caution was well-founded.

For just a moment later,

a terrifying spiritual sense swept across the sky above Su Qing’s location.

’Strange. I clearly sensed an unusual aura just now, as if it were a sign of great fortune.’

’How did it vanish so suddenly?’

...

Su Qing was completely unaware that he had just dodged a bullet.

’Five points for Synthesis Talent.’

’What should I put them into?’

After a moment’s hesitation, Su Qing decided to just add all five points to his Evolution Talent. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

That brought the trigger chance on synthesis up to 20%.

’That’s more like it.’

Now, the Evolution Talent would likely trigger once every five syntheses.

’Finally, I have a decent weapon.’

He would deal with other things after he finished his cultivation of the Geng Metal Sword technique.

’There’s no rush to synthesize a new Cultivation Technique.’

Su Qing was in the relatively safe Zhengxuan City, so he was in no hurry at all.

Su Qing began to cultivate.

Originally, the Geng Metal Sword technique had been very difficult to cultivate.

But now, he was gaining a hundred points of Skill Level per hour.

He began to grind it out.

Minor Achievement.

Great Success.

Perfection.

It took Su Qing just over two days.

Gaining a hundred Skill Level points per hour... Su Qing had the 200x cultivation speed of his advanced Five Qi God Demon Body to thank for that.

——

[Geng Metal Sword·Demon +1: Perfection]

——

Once the technique reached Perfection, the Sword Qi nurtured within his body transformed into Geng Metal Demon Sword Intent.

The Demon Sword Embryo within his Dantian was also complete.

As it continuously nurtured his Geng Metal Demon Sword Intent, Su Qing felt that if he cultivated this Sword Intent for half a year, he might be able to split a mountain in a single blow.

Such was the terrifying power of a Sword Storage Technique. In truth, the terrifying thing was Su Qing’s Synthesizer; the original Geng Metal Sword had just been a very ordinary technique.

’Huh? I still don’t really have any combat abilities. At most, I have a single trump card.’

Su Qing was vexed that he didn’t have any decent techniques.

’I’m just a Loose Cultivator, how am I supposed to find techniques?’

’A Loose Cultivator?’

’The east...’

Su Qing suddenly recalled Xu Ningying telling him about a gathering place for Loose Cultivators to the east. Perhaps he could find what he was looking for there.

’I have 97 Spirit Stones right now. That should be enough to trade for a few techniques.’

After some thought, Su Qing decided to head outside the Zhengxuan Sect.

His Synthesizer now held the Blade of Wholeness, and who knew if some Great Power might sense the Immortal, Demonic, and Divine qi emanating from it.

So, he piloted his Flying Magical Artifact and departed.

This time, Su Qing first flew north.

It was deserted there, making it a much better place to synthesize a Cultivation Technique, far from the Zhengxuan Sect.

After more than half a day had passed, Su Qing finally stopped his Flying Artifact and took out the Blade of Wholeness.

As the Blade of Wholeness appeared, it let out a soft hum, seemingly emanating a sense of resentment toward Su Qing.

Su Qing ignored it and began his synthesis.

He placed the Five Qi God Demon Technique +2 and eight copies of the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique into the Synthesizer.

’Synthesize.’

[Synthesis Successful: Forced Synthesis]

[Unknown Qi Cultivation Technique: A Qi Cultivation Technique fused with a powerful Five Elements Gathering Spirit Technique. This is an advanced version, containing only the cultivation methods for the Gathering Spirit and Qi Cultivation realms.]

’Damn it, the Evolution Talent didn’t trigger.’

Su Qing hesitated.

This new technique included the Five Qi God Demon Technique, and replicating it would surely knock him out cold again.

’No, that won’t work!’

Su Qing thought it over. He didn’t actually need a technique that continued from the Five Qi God Demon Technique, since he had already mastered it to Perfection.

’As long as I have a Five Elements Qi Cultivation technique, I can continue my cultivation.’

’I shouldn’t get hung up on this.’

’Replicate the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique nine times.’

He felt almost no strain, so he immediately began the synthesis.

[Synthesis Successful: Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +1]

’Screw it. With a 20% chance, I refuse to believe it won’t trigger this time.’

’Replicate the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique nine times.’

’Synthesize.’

[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Talent Triggered]

[Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +1: Effect of refining Five Elements Spiritual Qi enhanced 20-fold.]

’Not bad at all.’

But Su Qing still felt a little disappointed. He wasn’t really satisfied with this outcome.

Evolution was still inferior to the other effects, with the exception of Mutated.

If it had triggered Demonization, Divinization, Immortal Transformation, or Spiritualization, the Cultivation Technique might have gained other effects.

Instead, all he got was a boring 20-fold enhancement to his Qi Cultivation.

After having cultivated the Five Qi God Demon Technique, how could he be willing to practice such a garbage Cultivation Technique?

’It just feels unfair.’

’Damn it! Even if it’s just Evolution, at least give me something good!’

’Replicate Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +1 one time.’

Su Qing attempted the replication.

His head only throbbed slightly.

’No big deal.’

’Replicate the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique eight times.’

This time, his head started to buzz.

’Still manageable.’

’Synthesize.’

[Synthesis Successful: Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +2]

The talent didn’t trigger.

So Su Qing repeated the process.

...

After eleven more attempts...

[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Talent Triggered]

[Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +2: 20-fold the effect of Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +1]

’Can I synthesize it again?’

Su Qing still wasn’t satisfied.

’Replicate Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +2 one time.’

BOOM—

Su Qing’s mind felt heavy, but he managed to endure it without passing out.

After recovering for a few minutes, Su Qing replicated it again.

He knew this would be a grueling battle.

He might succeed on the first try, or it might take many.

But in about a day, he would probably be able to synthesize the Cultivation Technique he most desired.

This was Su Qing’s first time synthesizing the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +2.

’Synthesize.’

[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Talent Triggered]

[Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +3: 20-fold the effect of Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +2.]

At that moment, an irrepressible smile spread across Su Qing’s face.

’20 x 20 x 20... that’s 8,000 times!’

’8,000 times the effect of the original Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique!’

How could Su Qing not be ecstatic?

This was probably the limit of what he could currently synthesize.

He was willing to bet that if he dared to replicate the Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique +3 even once, he would be unconscious for several days.
