My Synthesizer Has Talent

"I’m finally back," Su Qing said, looking around the familiar room.

He wasted no time.

He gathered a large pile of firewood.

He was going to start Alchemy.

The firewood was to fuel the Beast Fire Seed he had purchased.

——

——

The Alchemy began.

Seven days wasn’t a particularly long time.

But it wasn’t short either. Su Qing managed to refine all nine types of Tier One elixirs, proving he had mastered the basics.

’Blazing Pill, Cold Ice Pill, Detoxification Pill, Protective Organ Pill, Vessel-Protecting Pill, Blood Circulation Pill, Aphrodisiac Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, and Qi Recovery Pill... I’ve learned them all.’ Su Qing stretched his back. He had been so engrossed in Alchemy these past few days that he hadn’t rested well.

Even with the additional recovery granted by his Chaotic Life Body, he still felt exhausted.

Now that he could perform Alchemy, Su Qing no longer had to worry about his future supply of Spirit Stones.

’The Beast Fire Seed!’

Su Qing currently lacked a technique to refine Beast Fire. Forcing the refinement process could cause the Beast Fire to run rampant and damage his own meridians.

’Ah, this Beast Fire is blue. I quite like it.’

It was especially warm, which was a nice change. Cold Extremity Peak was incredibly cold; even when the sun was out, Su Qing felt it was several degrees below zero.

But in the Alchemy Room he had set up, the temperature was quite comfortable, definitely over twenty degrees Celsius.

Unfortunately, Su Qing couldn’t keep the Fire Seed, or it would continuously waste firewood.

He had no desire to waste the firewood he’d worked so hard to gather.

The Beast Fire had served its purpose.

’Replicate Spirit Eye Technique nine times.’

This time, Su Qing only felt slightly dizzy.

He then understood that his soul was truly the key to the Synthesizer’s ability to replicate cultivation techniques. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

’Synthesize Spirit Eye Technique.’

...

Of course, triggering an Evolution on the first synthesis wasn’t that easy.

Su Qing was a perfectionist.

His Evolution Talent had to be triggered.

He spent a full day on synthesis.

Finally, Su Qing obtained the Magic he wanted.

[Spirit Eye Technique +2: Cover the eyes with Spiritual Qi to see the movement and concentration of Spiritual Qi. Magical Power consumption is reduced to 1/400th of the original.]

"This is the best part about Evolution!!!"

Su Qing laughed. As for replicating Spirit Eye Technique +2, he wouldn’t dare.

’There’s still Extreme Shadow Swordsmanship and Fireball Technique. Do I need Earth Shield Technique... The Earth Vein Resonance Technique could be a substitute, but I’m afraid it won’t be as strong as a synthesized Earth Escape Technique.’

’I’ll try replicating the Earth Vein Resonance Technique once and see what happens.’

...

「Another day and a half passed.」

Su Qing succeeded.

[Nine Swords Demon Shadow +1: Circulate Magical Power to unleash nine ultimate Demon Swords with ferocious swordsmanship. Contact with their Demonic Qi will amplify the fear in the target’s heart.]

He had gotten lucky with Extreme Shadow Nine Swords, triggering a Demonization.

[Fireball Technique +2: Condense a fireball with Magical Power that flies swiftly toward a target. At normal Magical Power consumption, the fireball’s power is 400 times the original. If Magical Power consumption is reduced to 1/400th, the fireball will have the power of the original Fireball Technique.]

’Finally, I have many more tools at my disposal.’

After Su Qing absorbed all the synthesized items, he didn’t start his Cultivation right away.

He wanted to try replicating the Earth Vein Resonance Technique.

With a single thought, he commanded, ’Replicate Earth Vein Resonance Technique once.’

The moment he confirmed, Su Qing collapsed into a deep sleep.

He slept like a rock.

...

Replicating the Earth Vein Resonance Technique left Su Qing unconscious for three full days.

After waking up, Su Qing decided he would be better off cultivating the Earth Vein Resonance Technique.

The Technique was powerful enough that he wouldn’t need to synthesize his own Earth Escape Technique.

Instead, he would re-plan his schedule to cultivate both his Magic and his personal Cultivation Technique.

「For the next seven days.」

Su Qing rested for only six hours a day.

The rest of his time was entirely dedicated to Cultivation.

However, today, while Su Qing was practicing his Nine Swords Demon Shadow, a woman he had met once before arrived.

He seemed to recall she was one of his senior sisters.

"Excuse me, Junior Brother." Liu Linlin approached, a sword strapped to her back. Her gaze was probing.

"Senior Sister, my name is Su Qing. May I ask your name?"

"Liu Linlin."

"Senior Sister Liu, what can I do for you?" Su Qing asked, puzzled, retracting the Blade of Wholeness into his Dantian.

Liu Linlin was taken aback to see Su Qing retract the Magical Artifact into his Dantian so easily.

’Weren’t we told it’s a bad idea to perform Sacrificial Refinement on a Magical Treasure before reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm?’

’Besides, what if the Magical Artifact you choose turns out to be poor quality?’

"It’s like this, Junior Brother," Liu Linlin explained. "I heard from my Martial Uncle that you’ve comprehended Sword Intent. I was hoping I could spar with you and experience it for myself."

"Experience my Sword Intent?" Su Qing was astonished. Although the nourishing effect of his Great Sun Sacrificial Treasure Technique suppressed it somewhat, his Sword Intent was still constantly being nurtured.

It wasn’t as if he’d comprehended this Sword Intent on his own.

Moreover, Su Qing had been nurturing the Sword Intent for several months; it was no longer as fragile as it was initially.

"Senior Sister, blades have no eyes, and I’m already at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation."

"Once I use my Sword Intent in an attack, even I can’t pull it back." Su Qing was telling the truth.

"What? You’re at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation?" Liu Linlin herself had cultivated for two years and was only just at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

’How could this Loose Cultivator, Su Qing, cultivate so quickly?’

"That’s right."

"Since you want to experience my Sword Intent, Senior Sister, how about we start with a swordsmanship duel?"

"If you can defeat me in Swordsmanship, I’ll let you see what you came for." Su Qing happened to be looking for an opportunity for some real combat experience.

How could Su Qing possibly miss an opportunity that had just knocked on his door?

Liu Linlin composed herself. She knew Su Qing’s Swordsmanship was probably very strong, and his cultivation level was higher than hers.

But that didn’t mean she, Liu Linlin, would lose. ’This Junior Brother definitely hasn’t used the Disperse Skill technique to switch to the sect’s Cultivation Technique,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, it’s impossible he would have cultivated so quickly.’

"Fine. Let me see this Swordsmanship of yours."

After she spoke, her somewhat vacant expression was replaced by one of gravity and intense focus.

Su Qing smiled. "Watch out, Senior Sister."

The Blade of Wholeness appeared in his hand from his Dantian, and Su Qing immediately used Nine Swords Demon Shadow.

The moment he executed the Sword Technique, a fierce glint flashed from his blade.

An instant later, a sword shadow appeared alongside it.

Liu Linlin had never seen a Swordsmanship like this before.

’Not good!’

CLANG!

The two swords met, but Su Qing’s strength was so great it forced Liu Linlin back more than a dozen steps.

Meanwhile, the sword shadow had slashed her left sleeve, and blood began to stain the fabric.

"Again!"

Liu Linlin shouted, seeing that Su Qing was hesitating to press the attack.

She had been careless just now, not expecting Su Qing’s movements to be so swift.

"No need, Senior Sister."

"Your sword is about to break."

Su Qing shook his head in disappointment. He hadn’t expected Liu Linlin to be so weak.

Her strength was no match for his, her swordsmanship was tied to her speed, and in both aspects, Su Qing’s advantage was simply too great. She had no chance of winning.

There was no point in continuing the fight.

His Blade of Wholeness had nearly snapped Liu Linlin’s Magical Artifact in two.

Hearing Su Qing’s words, Liu Linlin looked down at her own Magical Artifact, the webbing of her hand throbbing with pain.

It was only then that she saw a large notch on the body of the blade.

She froze.

’This is a Tier One Upper Grade Magical Artifact!’

’How is that possible? Even without Sacrificial Refinement, how could my blade not withstand a single blow from his Magical Treasure, one he couldn’t have been refining for very long?’

Liu Linlin couldn’t understand why.

She felt a pang of indignation. No wonder her Master and Martial Uncle were both fighting to take this junior brother as their disciple.

’He’s so strong.’

"Junior Brother Su, my apologies for disturbing you." Liu Linlin’s heart ached. Her Magical Artifact was ruined, which meant the Spirit Stones in her Storage Ring were about to take another hit.

Her master, unlike Su Qing’s, didn’t give her a large reserve of Spirit Stones.

In fact, to this day, he had barely taught her any Swordsmanship at all.

"Sigh..."

"Senior Sister, wait."

"I’m the one who damaged your Magical Artifact. My apologies. Let me compensate you with a new one."

"I didn’t do it intentionally. Please forgive me."

Su Qing remembered that before he dared use the Blade of Wholeness, he had been using an exquisite Demon Sword.

This exquisite Demon Sword was, at the very least, a fine weapon.

Su Qing took it out of his Storage Ring.
