My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 239: Chapter 237: Rank 9 Spirit Medicine Seed

Su Qing didn’t check the Synthesizer’s panel last night.

Instead, he returned to his cabin and slept soundly until morning.

He woke up feeling clear-headed and refreshed.

Su Qing got up and sensed it was already noon.

Su Qing stepped outside.

He found Luo Xingya waiting for him.

When she saw Su Qing, she exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, you’re awake!"

"Three cultivators have arrived."

"Oh?"

"Didn’t I tell you to handle them? Why are you still waiting for me?"

"Two of them are waiting for you."

"Oh?" Su Qing found that odd.

He looked up.

’What do you know. Those two Tribulation Crossing Realm experts were just outside the island.’

’Just one night.’

’They really are fast.’

Su Qing mused to himself.

He looked up and said, "Are you two here to give me the seeds?"

"But there was no need for both of you to come, was there?"

"Three types of Tier Nine Spirit Medicine Seeds and five types of Tier Eight Spirit Medicine Seeds."

The other party tossed a Storage Ring to Su Qing.

Su Qing took a look inside.

[Seed of the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf: A Tier Nine Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming the seed provides medicinal effects comparable to a Tier Seven medicine. It is a Treasure Medicine that can restore the physical body of a Tier Seven cultivator.]

[Seed of the Cyan Celestial Net: A Tier Nine Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming the seed can temporarily enhance one’s comprehension of Wood Dao Essence.]

[Seed of the Profound Dragon Celestial Ginseng: A Tier Nine Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming the seed increases one’s vitality and Comprehension by an amount comparable to a Tier Six Spirit Medicine.]

Then there were the Tier Eight seeds.

[Seed of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fire: A Tier Eight Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming the seed can temporarily increase comprehension of Fire Dao Essence.]

[Seed of the Four-direction Celestial Fragrance Grass: A Tier Eight Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming the seed can increase one’s lifespan by one year.]

...

’They’re all Spirit Medicines, not what I’d call Celestial Medicines.’

Su Qing remembered that the Eight-Turn Celestial Fragrance Horn he had acquired before was identified by the Synthesizer as a Celestial Medicine, not a Spirit Medicine.

"This will do."

Su Qing nodded, but noticed the two of them were still standing motionless in the air.

"Is there anything else?"

"I was wondering if one hundred types of Tier Five Spirit Medicine Seeds could be exchanged for another Immortal Stone." It truly pained Cang Qingjian to ask.

However, since they were seeds and not mature Spirit Medicines, it wasn’t really a loss.

The real heartache was that he had tried and failed to capture Su Qing, and as a result, his own Immortal Stones had become useless.

Yesterday, he had gone to the other Immortal Races to ask for Tier Five Spirit Medicine seeds, and they had almost all demanded a mature Tier Five Spirit Medicine in exchange for a single seed.

And everyone had been more than happy to make the trade.

He asked around and was surprised to find that some Immortal Races’ Immortal Stones were still usable. After a few inquiries, he found out why.

It was the Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators from the Immortal Races who mobilized late. They had managed to seize Immortal Stones later on and had not attacked Su Qing.

After they returned, their Immortal Stones showed almost no change.

Their Cangqing Race had been doing well, too. They should have had four Immortal Stones.

Now, all they could do was trade to get a functional one back.

"Of course we can trade. I’ll take Tier Five Spirit Medicine seeds as well."

"Since your clan has gone to such lengths, I’ll wait until the day after tomorrow to announce to all the other regions that I’m collecting seeds."

Su Qing nodded.

"Let me see the seeds."

Another Storage Ring was tossed to Su Qing.

[Seed of the Thunder Marsh Vine: A Tier Five Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming it can slightly increase one’s Thunder Resistance.]

[Seed of the Hundred-leaf River Grass: A Tier Five Spirit Medicine Seed. Consuming it can improve the quality of a Water Attribute Spirit Root by one percent.]

...

It really was two hundred seeds—a pair for each of the one hundred types.

Su Qing was overjoyed.

"Excellent!"

With a flip of his hand, Su Qing produced an Immortal Stone and tossed it to them.

After catching it, Cang Qingjian inspected the Immortal Stone and nodded to Cang Qingyi. It was genuine.

"We’ll take our leave." The two Tribulation Cultivators cupped their fists toward Su Qing.

Then, they vanished.

An Immortal Stone could evolve into a world, after all.

So they had to get it back immediately.

...

...

"Xingya, what about the other cultivator?"

"He couldn’t possibly be here for me, could he?" Su Qing asked.

Luo Xingya shook her head. "He’s not looking for you, but he said he knows you and wants to live on this island."

"..."

’He knows me.’ Su Qing was silent for a moment.

"Take me to him."

Su Qing said.

"Yes, Sir." Luo Xingya led Su Qing over.

She led Su Qing to the island’s shore.

The moment he saw the man, Su Qing froze. ’So it really is someone I know.’

’We’re not that close, though.’

The man was fishing, and his cultivation was at the Golden Core High Tier.

"Elder Su!"

"Song Zhining!"

"Long time no see."

"It has been a long time, Senior," Song Zhining said with a light chuckle. He reeled in his fishing rod, stood up, and cupped his fists toward Su Qing.

"Just call me Su Qing. Song Zhining, I didn’t expect you to still be alive. Golden Core High Tier, no less."

"Almost at Perfection?" Su Qing took a closer look. ’This Song Zhining is a real monster.’

He was indeed at the Golden Core High Tier, but his Soul Cultivation had already reached the Fourth Realm.

That was the most monstrous part.

Su Qing himself was only at the Fifth Layer of Dustless...

’Wait a minute.’

Su Qing glanced at his Synthesizer panel.

—

Ninth-Layer of Dustless [God Demon Devouring Universe Map: Mastery (194.67/1000)]

’When did I break through to the Ninth-Layer of Dustless?’

"Not at all. It’s all from arduous cultivation. I’m nowhere near your level," Song Zhining said with a smile.

Su Qing thought to himself, ’But I’m the one who’s cheating. This guy feels like he’s cheating too.’

"As I recall, I haven’t heard anything about you since your master died."

"How would you hear news of me from within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect? That old bastard Jin Zhentu really had designs on me—he wanted to possess my body."

"Fortunately, I was a step ahead of him and managed to kill him."

"But now I’m wanted by the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect," Song Zhining said with a wry smile.

"I’ve been on the run ever since. When I heard what was happening here, I figured you were a reliable person, so I came to seek your protection."

"Seek my protection?" Su Qing chuckled.

"Then you can stay on this island. You’re not a bad person."

"You as well, Elder Su," Song Zhining chuckled.

"Hahaha." Su Qing clapped him on the shoulder. "It’s been too long. Your Soul Cultivation is always a surprise."

"Here." Song Zhining then took out a scroll of parchment.

"What’s this?" Su Qing asked. There wasn’t a single word on it.

Song Zhining said, "Since I’m seeking your protection, I couldn’t possibly come empty-handed."

"It’s a Cultivation Method for a Fantasist!"

"It’s for you."

"..."

"Aren’t Fantasists born that way?" Su Qing asked, puzzled.

"Some are born with it, but it can also be cultivated. I found this while exploring a Secret Realm. It makes for a perfect welcoming gift."

"You can see the words on it if you use your Soul Power."

"Oh?" Su Qing said, surprised. ’To think something like this exists.’

He immediately channeled his Soul Power into the parchment, and sure enough, it became covered in densely packed text.

[God of Balance Sky Thinking Method: Balance is the ultimate expression of power. Aided by a Visualization Technique, one generates the might of force-based fantasy. To conquer through sheer force is the true path of the God of Balance.]

"Incredible!"

"This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Cultivation Technique for Fantasists. Not bad at all." Su Qing grinned.

"There are plenty of empty residences on the island right now, so find one to live in. The island is very safe. You can stay for a year."

Su Qing put the parchment away.

"If I want to buy Spirit Medicines, will they cost a lot of Spirit Stones?"

"A lot? Not at all. It’s the standard price, much lower than at an auction," Su Qing chuckled.

Song Zhining replied earnestly, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome. If you want to stay here long-term, it will depend on what contributions you make to this island."

"I will release Immortal Qi into the residential areas of the island once a year."

"Make sure you seize the opportunity," Su Qing said with a smile, glancing out at the ocean.

"We should get together sometime when you’re free. I’m off." Su Qing gave Song Zhining a final pat on the back. The two of them were like old friends.

But the relationship felt rather awkward.

Because of the disparity in their power.

"Xingya, let’s go. Focus on your Cultivation. When the time is right, I’ll find someone to take over your position."

"Yes, Sir." Luo Xingya fell into step behind Su Qing. He didn’t fly.

He simply strolled through his Marketplace, which remained completely deserted.

It would take time to develop, and he also needed time to grow stronger.
