My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 229: Chapter 227: The Usual on Profound Bright Island

He covered them both with a blanket, wrote a letter, and left two Talismans, each capable of blocking a single, full-powered attack from a Seventh Realm Cultivator.

Ouyang Mingming was a real handful, after all. Last time, he’d given her a Talisman capable of blocking a Fourth Realm attack, yet she still ended up grievously injured. He couldn’t fathom what she had been thinking.

With their souls suppressed by Su Qing, the two women were like sleeping beauties.

’Sigh... Once my Cultivation reaches Divinity Transformation, I’ll hide my identity and start my own Sect.’

Su Qing sighed. ’Starting my own Sect would be great. I wouldn’t have to deal with so many restrictions.’

’I’d also be able to protect the people I care about.’

...

Su Qing watched their faces for a while.

Once color returned to their cheeks and their vitality was restored...

Su Qing let out a sigh and left.

He released the suppression on their souls.

Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan woke up soon after.

...

"Mmm~" Ouyang Mingming let out a soft, contented moan.

She slowly opened her eyes. As she took in the unfamiliar, dilapidated room, her eyes shot wide open.

’That’s right.’

’I’m supposed to be seriously injured.’

’How did this blanket get on me?’

When Ouyang Mingming lifted the blanket, she saw that she was apparently naked.

’Su Qing was here?’ Ouyang Mingming wondered, looking at her perfectly unmarred abdomen.

"Su Qing was here! Your clothes are gone! He’s defiled his master!" You Yanhan exclaimed as she, too, opened her eyes and looked around nervously.

She’d noticed Ouyang Mingming was naked.

...

Now, let’s hear Su Qing’s excuse... ah, no, his explanation. It was simply that Ouyang Mingming’s clothes and the bed were covered in blood, which would have hindered the treatment. Besides, it wasn’t like Su Qing had never seen a woman before, was it?

Su Qing just wanted a clean environment! He was only cleaning up some bloodstains.

"He healed me, sword-practicer," Ouyang Mingming said, staring at her flat stomach in a daze. She felt no discomfort whatsoever.

You Yanhan was stunned as well. She suddenly realized her own Cultivation had returned to the Golden Core Perfection Realm.

"My Cultivation is restored too! You vixen!!!"

Stunned, You Yanhan glanced around. An Array Plate lay on the floor, and on the room’s only table sat a letter and two Talismans.

Ouyang Mingming noticed them at the same time.

"Su Qing... He still considers me his master. I’ll give him credit for being devoted. He saved my life," Ouyang Mingming said with a charming smile.

She retrieved a set of light robes from her Pocket World and covered her magnificent figure.

"Want to read the letter, sword-practicer?" Ouyang Mingming asked as she got up and picked it up.

You Yanhan retorted, "He’s your disciple, so of course it’s for you. You don’t think he left it for me, do you?"

"Just read it already." You Yanhan was envious. He was the one disciple she’d never been able to steal from Ouyang Mingming, and more importantly, he had just saved their lives.

Both Ouyang Mingming and herself.

Ouyang Mingming opened the envelope. Inside, she found a Storage Ring and the letter.

In the letter, Su Qing mostly explained the situation at the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land, adding that the matter must not be revealed.

Inside the Storage Ring, he had left some healing Elixirs for both Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan. Su Qing also explained that he didn’t know everything about the situation.

He urged them to protect themselves, especially with the two Talismans he’d left beside the letter.

They should each take one.

"Talismans!" Ouyang Mingming knew just how powerful these things were.

She handed one of the Talismans to You Yanhan.

"Here. A Talisman, from your martial-nephew," Ouyang Mingming said, handing one over. She then dripped her own blood onto the other to claim it.

You Yanhan hadn’t expected anything, since she had barely ever looked after Su Qing.

So she naturally didn’t think he would leave her anything.

But when the Talisman was placed in her hand, she froze. She stammered in disbelief, "Is... is this really for me?"

Ouyang Mingming knew better than anyone just how powerful the Talismans were, and You Yanhan was a close second.

During their last battle, Ouyang Mingming had used a Talisman to escape, but she had foolishly returned to help You Yanhan.

If their roles had been reversed, You Yanhan probably would have done the same for Ouyang Mingming.

The two of them relied on each other to survive. Though not related by blood, after living together for hundreds of years, they were as close as kin.

Immortal Cultivators are taught to avoid emotional attachments, yet they are often the ones who desire them most.

Immortal Cultivators possess long lives and powerful abilities; what they lack most is often emotional connection.

It was just like with Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan: injured, hiding from their enemies, and huddling together to heal their wounds.

They weren’t family, but they were closer than any family could be.

「Two days later.」

Su Qing had returned to the Profound Bright Islands.

"You’re back?" Su Hongshang said, sitting in a chair and sipping a cup of tea.

A fragrant aroma of tea filled the air.

Enlightenment Tea again. Su Qing gave Su Hongshang a strange look. ’She seems to have gotten addicted to this stuff.’

Su Qing activated his Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil and glanced at Su Hongshang.

’Whoa, her fortune has already turned azure.’

’Looks like all that Enlightenment Tea wasn’t for nothing.’

’She actually learned Hidden Dragon No Luck in less than a week.’

"Yeah, I’m back."

"I don’t want any Enlightenment Tea. It doesn’t taste that great; it just has an extra effect."

Su Qing refused as he saw Su Hongshang about to pour him a cup.

Su Hongshang could only stop pouring from the Crystal Sand Pot in her hand.

"Did you go find your master?"

"Yeah. I was worried," Su Qing nodded.

"And?"

"They’re fine. I went to check on them, and they’ve both recovered," Su Qing said with a serious nod.

Su Hongshang smiled. "That’s what I like about you. There are so few people like you in the Immortal Cultivation Realm."

She poked Su Qing’s arm with her finger.

Su Qing paused, then chuckled and shook his head. "It’s not that there are few people like me."

"It’s just that I’ve held onto some of my ordinary human nature."

"If you went to an ordinary mortal village, you’d see. You’d find that many of the people there are simple and honest. As long as their village has enough to eat, they’re kinder than I am."

Su Hongshang paused for a moment, then smiled brightly again.

"You’re right. But in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, people like you are still a rarity."

Su Qing gave a faint smile.

He took out a Tier Four Spirit Fruit.

And handed it to Su Hongshang.

"Thanks to your Immortal Technique, I have more Tier Four Spirit Fruits than I know what to do with."

Su Qing took out another Spirit Fruit and bit into it as if it were an ordinary piece of fruit. Its juice released an incredibly fresh aroma that filled the entire courtyard.

To think he could eat a Tier Four Spirit Fruit so casually, and he clearly had plenty to spare.

"Does this mean you’ve managed to cultivate Resurrection Grass as well?" Su Hongshang asked in surprise, looking at the fruit.

’Is having an Immortal Realm really that miraculous?’

’But my Immortal Technique is the same as Su Qing’s, isn’t it?’

Wrong!

It was precisely because their Immortal Techniques were different that Su Qing had so many fruits.

"Not yet. You want some?" Su Qing asked in return.

"Yes. Resurrection Grass is needed for a certain Tier Five Elixir, but using a Tier Six herb to craft a Tier Five Elixir is far too wasteful."

"What Elixir?" Su Qing asked.

"The Life Soul Rejuvenation Pill," Su Hongshang said. "It primarily treats injuries to the soul. As long as the soul hasn’t dispersed, a single pill can bring someone back from the brink of death."

"Where did you get the Pill Formula?" Su Qing asked.

"I don’t have a complete one. They’re all Broken Pill Formulas. I want to try and piece them together. I even have some for Tier Seven pills. You can buy them at some auctions; the higher the tier of a Broken Pill Formula, the more worthless it is."

Su Hongshang chuckled. "Sects like the Zhengxuan Sect in particular have tons of Broken Pill Formulas that they sell for cheap. For people like us, High Tier Broken Pill Formulas are just too useless."
