My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 232: Chapter 230: The Arrogant Saint Spirit Race

Less than half a day had passed.

After the member of the Holy Spirit Race died,

a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator suddenly appeared.

He directly confronted the Zhengxuan Sect.

"My clansman died in your territory. How do you account for this?!"

"Bring your Divinity Transformation Cultivator to discuss this."

"I think it was your Zhengxuan Sect people who did it."

"Bring your Divinity Transformation Cultivator to discuss this."

"You’re going too far!"

"Bring your Divinity Transformation Cultivator to discuss this."

"..."

It was a very effective conversation.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Holy Spirit Race was left speechless.

The death of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be a major or minor issue. But for a clansman at the Foundation Establishment Realm to die in such a remote place, it was actually very difficult to say who was responsible.

In the end, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Holy Spirit Race really did come.

If they ignored the death of a Foundation Establishment Realm clansman today, a Golden Core Realm clansman might die tomorrow.

This matter could not be simply dropped.

"Zhengxuan Sect, is this your attitude?" the Holy Spirit Race’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator asked upon arriving at the sect.

Only then did a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Zhengxuan Sect come forward to speak. "This is merely a sea region we occupy. It’s not territory that the Zhengxuan Sect truly governs."

"So many Cultivators come and go every day. What if some Demon Cultivator coveted your bloodline, or simply took a disliking to your clansman and killed him? What does that have to do with our Zhengxuan Sect?"

"Our Zhengxuan Sect follows the prestigious Righteous Dao. We have no control over the affairs of the Demon Dao," the Zhengxuan Sect’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator said with righteous conviction.

"You—isn’t this just bullying my Holy Spirit Race?"

"My lord from the Holy Spirit Race, we are certainly not bullying you. We are merely speaking the truth."

"When your disciple died, he left behind a recording as evidence. Why would our Zhengxuan Sect instigate such a conflict with your Holy Spirit Race?"

"It was clearly the work of a Demon Cultivator!" the Zhengxuan Sect’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator declared, his face a mask of righteousness.

"..."

The Holy Spirit Race’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator fell silent. It was already a big deal for him to come and demand accountability over a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Now, all the evidence pointed to a Demon Cultivator. Someone in his clan had even performed a rough Inference.

The karma truly didn’t lie with the Zhengxuan Sect; he was just going through the motions.

"I hope the Zhengxuan Sect can properly manage the Demon Cultivators in this sea region."

"Of course. My lord from the Holy Spirit Race, how about we give you administrative rights over half of the Profound Bright Islands?"

"Why not the entire Profound Bright Islands!"

"Heh, your abacus is clicking a bit too loudly. Half is my Sect’s bottom line."

"Fine," the Divinity Transformation Cultivator said with a nod.

The Profound Bright Islands was actually a place with a rather peculiar fate. The location where Immortal Stones first appeared was very close to it.

Moreover, the Profound Bright Islands weren’t too far from the Nether Sea either.

That was why this place was so special.

"Would you care to stay for a cup of tea?"

"Of course," the Holy Spirit Race’s Divinity Transformation Cultivator nodded.

He had come all this way.

He’d done everything he needed to; the only thing left was to enjoy himself a little. It was just the death of a Foundation Establishment Realm clansman, after all.

A clansman from a side branch wasn’t that important. What mattered was making a show of strength.

...

In the days following this incident,

Su Qing paid it no mind at all.

The Profound Bright Islands were peaceful.

Su Qing was busy studying the principles of Arrays.

Just then, he saw Su Hongshang run in from outside.

She exclaimed excitedly, "A Secret Realm has opened! Are you going? It’s a Small Secret Realm!"

"A Small Secret Realm? No, I’m not going." Su Qing shook his head, uninterested.

A day in a Secret Realm would yield unknown rewards, and it might not even be as fruitful as his study of Arrays.

"If you’re not going, how about I take Xingya to see it?" Su Hongshang chuckled.

"..."

"No, that won’t do. Xingya shouldn’t go. If there’s danger in the Secret Realm, you won’t be able to look after her," Su Qing said, shaking his head.

Luo Xingya still needed to focus on her Cultivation.

A Secret Realm was still too much for her.

"It’s a Small Secret Realm, and it’s on the border between the Nether Sea Realm and the Celestial Sea Realm. It won’t be dangerous," Su Hongshang said with confidence.

"No. You can go by yourself. Be careful, and make sure to carry that Talisman with you."

"I know. Since you’re not going, I’ll be on my way. Otherwise, all the good stuff will be taken," Su Hongshang said, then flew off.

A Secret Realm.

It was still a great temptation.

After all, it was full of unknowns. Even if the Secret Realm was small, what if it was packed with treasures?

It was like seeing a treasure chest; you just had to open it and see what was inside.

Su Qing didn’t want to go because he felt he already possessed plenty of good things—more than he could even process himself.

’Sigh, when will it ever end?’

Su Qing took out a Spirit Fruit and glanced at it with a helpless expression.

[Unknown Immortal Fruit: A fruit influenced by Immortal Qi. Contains a massive amount of Immortal Qi. Can increase one’s basic Cultivation Talent by 50,000 times. Please consume with caution.]

Without a second glance, Su Qing swallowed it in one gulp.

He had already eaten quite a few of these.

Otherwise, how could Su Qing’s Cultivation speed be so efficient?

Powerful Cultivators were searching for him, but Su Qing still believed that personal strength was the most important thing.

He had synthesized an Array Plate.

[Four Symbols Guardian Array Plate: Grade Unknown. Contains the immense power of Immortals, Gods, and Demons. Has developed Spiritual Wisdom. Can be bound by blood.]

This had already surpassed the Array Realms defined by this world.

It only required Immortal Stones to operate. A normal one could power it for a month. If Su Qing synthesized a powerful Immortal Stone, it could practically run forever.

Most importantly, it was because it had Spiritual Wisdom that Su Qing could even use this Array Plate.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to control it even if he had it.

This was a formidable Defense Array. Su Qing’s plan was to establish his own Sect and then begin to execute his grander scheme.

He would make it so that no powerful Cultivator would dare to make a move against him lightly.

Now, Su Qing figured it was time for another windfall.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

There was a knock on the door. It was people from the Holy Spirit Race.

A man and a woman. The faint markings on their foreheads were unmistakable.

"Who is it?"

Su Qing opened the door.

He saw two exceptionally arrogant members of the Holy Spirit Race.

’Seriously,’ Su Qing complained inwardly.

’How on earth does the Holy Spirit Race raise its children?’

’Why does every single one of them look at people with such disdain? You two, one at Foundation Establishment Initial Tier and the other just at Qi Cultivation—do you really need to be so arrogant?!’

"You must be Array Master Le. I am Zhu Yu of the Holy Spirit Race, and this is my younger clan brother, Zhu Sheng."

"Oh?"

Su Qing gave the two a placid glance. "Foundation Establishment Initial Tier, Qi Cultivation High Tier. Are you here to buy Array Plates?"

"Show some respect!" The one at the Qi Cultivation Realm, Zhu Sheng, couldn’t stand Su Qing’s indifferent tone.

"Quiet, Zhu Sheng!"

"Array Master Le, I would like to buy two Defense Array Plates and one Forbidden Array Plate."

"The Holy Spirit Race... I’ll do business with you."

"However, I’m adding a ten-percent surcharge."

"What!" A bright yellow flame erupted from Zhu Sheng’s body, as if he were a lit powder keg.

"Look at you. The last member of the Holy Spirit Race was even more domineering than you are," Su Qing said, displeased.

"A Foundation Establishment and a Qi Cultivation... If it weren’t for the fact that you’re from the Holy Spirit Race, would you dare to throw such a tantrum in front of me?"

Su Qing snorted coldly, and the oppressive aura of a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator washed over them. Even Zhu Yu couldn’t withstand the pressure.

As for the one in the Qi Cultivation Realm, he wilted instantly.

"Array Master Le, please retract your aura! We only wish to purchase three Array Plates." Zhu Yu finally lowered her head slightly. This wasn’t the Abyss Sea; not many people here would show much respect to side-branch members of the Holy Spirit Race like them.

After being here for a few days, Zhu Yu had come to realize that without their family name, they were apparently useless.

Their only use was to help the family stand guard here in this sea region.

Su Qing withdrew his aura and snorted. "This time, the surcharge is fifty percent more Spirit Stones."

"Fine."

"What are the options for the Defense Array Plates?"

"One Forbidden Array Plate is 35,000 Spirit Stones."

"Two Tier Two Upper Grade Defense Array Plates. No need to choose."

"Tier Two Upper Grade? The Profound Cyan Wood Dragon Array. This one is Tier Two Upper Grade."

"50,000 each, so 100,000 for two." Su Qing was really starting to rip them off.

A fifty percent increase was no joke.

"Fine, Array Master Le, I’ll buy them." The young lady from the Holy Spirit Race finally understood the situation. She shot her clan brother a vicious glare.

Because of the few words he had spoken, their already poor reputation was further cemented in the eyes of the Second Realm Cultivators.

Now, on the Profound Bright Islands, unless a Cultivator was affiliated with the Holy Spirit Race, they would all be fleeced.
