My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 240: Chapter 238: The Tier 6 Spirit Medicine Seed Trade

"Sir, is that someone you know?" Luo Xingya asked as they walked.

"Yes, an old enemy."

"But I wouldn’t call him an enemy anymore."

"In a way, we’re similar. He’s wanted by his Sect, and so am I."

"It’s just that... by the end, the Sect had already mostly fallen apart..."

’That’s right, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land was basically gone now.’

’Even with the Grand Elder and Elder Han trying to run things.’

’Still, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land had definitely lost more than half its people.’

’After all, with Ji Qianqiu dead, who was there to be loyal to?’

’Everyone got the Longevity Technique and then bailed.’

’Why would they care about the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land anymore?’

’The people the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land recruited had ulterior motives from the start.’

"..." Luo Xingya remained silent.

She didn’t really have a concept of what a Sect was.

So she chose to say nothing.

Su Qing looked at the empty space and couldn’t help but feel a surge of happiness.

’From now on, I have my own place.’

’I just wonder if my master will choose to join my little faction.’

’Well, not a faction, really. Just a tiny little island.’

...

「Two days later.」

Su Qing sought out Song Zhining.

Song Zhining looked at Su Qing, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"I have a job for you, if you’re willing to take it."

"The pay isn’t great—just a single Tier Three Spirit Fruit. A Cyan Li Water Heart Fruit."

"What’s the job? If it’s easy, I’ll take it," Song Zhining said without hesitation.

"A Tier Three Spirit Fruit is still a treasure."

"I need you to deliver some messages for me."

"Take them to the Nether Sea and the Celestial Sea Realm. While you’re at it, buy some Void Nether Stones for me."

"Ten million Spirit Stones." Su Qing handed him a Storage Ring.

"Buy them at market price. I want about 150 catties’ worth, at a minimum."

"Whatever Spirit Stones are left over are yours," Su Qing said.

"So what’s the message?"

Su Qing handed him a slip of paper, then turned and left.

Song Zhining’s eyes widened as he read the note. Trading Immortal Stones for Spirit Medicine Seeds!

’Su Qing is so bold!’

’Looks like I have to stay on this island.’

’If things go as expected, Qingsu Island is about to undergo some major changes. Absolutely.’

’Trading with Immortal Stones, inviting merchant caravans to Qingsu Island... ’

...

’Two square kilometers is way too small. I need a Marketplace, residential areas, a lively tavern, and an entertainment street.’

Su Qing wasn’t thinking of building a brothel, of course.

For entertainment, he was thinking of something high-tech.

Like computers.

Su Qing decided he wanted to add another square kilometer of construction.

With that thought, he sprang into action.

He once again forced rocks up from the seabed, piling them high to form another square kilometer of land.

Using tiny Puppets and a large amount of Spirit Wood released from his Acupoint World, Su Qing began construction.

...

「Two days later.」

A Tribulation Crossing Realm expert appeared before Su Qing.

"Senior, what can I do for you?" Su Qing asked.

"Haha, I wouldn’t dare be called Senior. You can just call me Fellow Daoist." Yisheng Chun wiped away a bead of nervous sweat.

The moment he’d set foot on the island...

...Yisheng Chun had felt an overwhelming threat, as if two powerful beings were staring right at him.

And he was a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert!

Phantoms of the Four Symbols had even appeared around Su Qing out of nowhere. ’It really is an Immortal Array,’ he thought.

’And a very protective one at that.’

"Ahem. I am Yisheng Chun of the Yi Family, from the Abyss Sea Immortal Clan."

"I heard you’re looking to trade Immortal Stones for Spirit Medicine Seeds?" Yisheng Chun was well aware of the true, insidious nature of those two other clans.

He was thinking of the Cangqing Race. To think they had hidden this from the other families for so long.

’It’s been a whole week! No wonder they were willing to trade their Spirit Medicines for seeds back then.’

’To think they’d keep something this good to themselves for so long. Thank goodness Su Qing finally made the news public.’

"That’s right. I already have over a hundred types of Tier Five Spirit Medicine Seeds, so I don’t think I need any more of those. I’m looking for Tier Six and above."

"I’ll take as many as you have."

"Tier Six? My family has them. I brought them with me," Yisheng Chun said.

"I have fifty different types, guaranteed. And for each type, there are no fewer than four seeds."

"Hah. My terms haven’t changed. One trade only. It’s one Immortal Stone for all the seeds of a single tier."

"..."

"Deal," Yisheng Chun said.

"How do we do this? Do we just... trade?" After all, Yisheng Chun wasn’t familiar with the procedure. He was afraid Su Qing might trick him; the pressure he felt at that moment was immense.

Su Qing took out an Immortal Stone.

He handed it directly to him.

"Here’s the Immortal Stone."

"Give me the seeds. Transaction complete."

As soon as Yisheng Chun saw the Immortal Stone in Su Qing’s hand, he snatched it away.

’It’s a real Immortal Stone!’

"My pleasure." Yisheng Chun was a little excited. With another Immortal Stone, how could his family’s prosperity be far behind?

He hurriedly gave the seeds to Su Qing, then quickly departed the island.

"Safe travels." Su Qing scanned the contents of the Storage Ring. Indeed, there were many kinds of Tier Six seeds.

’The families of the Abyss Sea are truly wealthy and resourceful.’

’Even just these seeds would take some Golden Core Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators half a lifetime to find.’

A wide smile spread across Su Qing’s face as he continued his construction work.

’This feels amazing. For less than two hundred Spirit Stones, I got more than fifty types of Tier Six Spirit Medicine seeds.’

’Now, I can officially declare that I’m no longer short on Spirit Medicines.’

For others, nurturing these plants might be a hassle.

But for Su Qing...

’...all I need is Magical Power.’

’The Tier Nine Spirit Medicine seeds have already been planted and have sprouted.’

’The Tier Eight ones as well. I’ll just plant all the Tier Five and Tier Six seeds in one of the worlds.’

’A Great World is massive, after all.’

After a moment’s thought, Su Qing placed all the Tier Five and Tier Six Spirit Medicine Seeds into the Great World.

Immortal Technique: Withered Wood Revives in Spring.

After casting the technique on all the Spirit Medicines,

Su Qing, satisfied, turned his attention back to the real world.

...

「Three days later.」

After Su Qing had finished constructing the basic framework of the new area, he stopped his work.

"Xiaoqing, is Su Hongshang safe or in danger right now?"

"Master, Su Hongshang is not in any immediate danger. She is in an Alternate Space, and that is all I can infer." Since it hadn’t been a full month, this was the result of Xiaoqing’s standard Inference.

Su Qing sighed. ’That woman... she got tricked.’

’That’s an incredibly dangerous Secret Realm.’

’Xiaoqing’s Inference already showed how dangerous the Secret Realm was. I just hope she can make it out alive.’

...

...

「Meanwhile, Su Hongshang...」

...was, relatively speaking, safe.

She was absorbing a drop of Essence Blood, pushing the Cultivation Technique Su Qing had given her to its absolute limit.

The Wood Immortal Flame Skill worked at full power to absorb the drop of Essence Blood.

By now, Su Hongshang’s entire body was glowing a crimson red.

A strange, powerful pressure pulsed from her body intermittently.

This drop of Essence Blood was from the giant palm she had encountered.

And Su Hongshang was doing everything she could to absorb it.

The Fire Dao Essence spread from her, flowing around her entire body.

For Su Hongshang, the process was absolute agony. Even her body, which had absorbed a great deal of Immortal Qi, was on the verge of collapsing.

If the Wood Immortal Flame Skill hadn’t been constantly sustaining her, Su Hongshang likely would not have been able to hold on.

She would have been torn apart from the inside by the Dao Essence within the Essence Blood.

「Several days later, on Qingsu Island.」

"Well, look who’s here."

"Master," Su Qing called out with a smile.

"You’ve already graduated. Your Cultivation is higher than mine now, so I don’t count as your master anymore." Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan had arrived on Su Qing’s island.

Upon arriving here and seeing Su Qing, she felt her wariness inexplicably melt away.

"So? What do you think? My island is nice, isn’t it?"

"It’s not bad," You Yanhan nodded.

"Since you’re both here, Master, Martial Aunt, you should stay. The island is very safe. I assume you know what’s been happening," Su Qing said with a smile.

In the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, Ouyang Mingming had been the kindest person to Su Qing, bar none.

She was the type to give selflessly and had taken great care of him.

Now that Su Qing had the power to protect her, it was only natural that he would take care of her in return.

Upon hearing this, You Yanhan tugged on Ouyang Mingming’s sleeve.

Su Qing couldn’t help but smile at the small gesture.

"Martial Aunt, I have a house set aside for you as well."

"Master, you should stay too. I have a house waiting for you. You wouldn’t refuse it, would you?"

"It’s very safe here." Su Qing knew what Ouyang Mingming was thinking; she felt too embarrassed to accept.

And it was precisely because she felt embarrassed that Su Qing knew he had to be more insistent.
