My Synthesizer Has Talent
Chapter 99 - 97: Versus Song Zhining
[Synthesis Successful: Sea Blue Pearl (Has a calming and focus-enhancing effect)]
[Synthesis Successful: Sea Blue Pearl...]
...
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Talent Triggered]
[Sea Blue Treasure Pearl: Calms the mind and spirit, nurtures the mind and spirit]
’Hmm? This description is way too simple. "Focusing" became "calming"?’
...
The moment Su Qing returned to his residence, the first thing he did was synthesize all the pearls from the Sea Blue Clams in his Storage Ring.
This was a real treasure he had found.
Su Qing felt that as long as he had enough of them, he could definitely synthesize something good.
There were five hundred of them.
Su Qing synthesized them over and over.
When he got results of ordinary quality, Su Qing would just synthesize them again.
Evolution only triggered five times.
He ended up with only around fifty Sea Blue Pearls.
"Continue."
[Synthesis Successful: Sea Blue Little Treasure Pearl (Calms the mind, focuses the spirit, nurtures the spirit)]
...
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]
[Sea Blue Spirit Pearl: Possesses a powerful ability to calm the mind and heart, focus the spirit, and nurture the mind and spirit]
He had performed five syntheses and triggered the Evolution Talent once more.
So, Su Qing currently had two Sea Blue Pearls, five Sea Blue Treasure Pearls, four Sea Blue Little Treasure Pearls, and one Sea Blue Spirit Pearl.
At a moment like this, it all came down to whether Su Qing was willing to part with his best items.
He could either put the Sea Blue Spirit Pearl in for synthesis, or he could synthesize the five Sea Blue Treasure Pearls and four Sea Blue Little Treasure Pearls.
’Hmm...’
’I can just give away or sell the Sea Blue Pearls later.’
’The Spirit Pearl is useful to me right now. If it doesn’t trigger a forced synthesis, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?’
Su Qing’s Synthesizer was still Level 39, so the probability of a forced synthesis wasn’t even fifty percent.
It would be bad if it failed.
Su Qing chose not to synthesize the Sea Blue Spirit Pearl. That way, there was a safety net even if he failed.
He placed all the Treasure Pearls and Little Treasure Pearls into the Synthesizer.
"Synthesize."
...
[Synthesis Successful: Forced Synthesis]
[Unnamed Treasure Pearl: An indigo-colored pearl with the ability to calm the mind, focus the spirit, and nurture the Heart Spirit]
The Evolution Talent didn’t trigger.
What a pity.
After taking it out, Su Qing compared it to the Sea Blue Spirit Pearl.
When he wore it, the effects of the two seemed about the same.
But wearing both of them at once was certainly nice.
It felt like that moment after waking up when you just sit up in bed and stare into space.
It was refreshing, yet also a little hazy...
’This effect is really nice. I hope it’s also useful during Visualization.’
Su Qing finished his synthesis.
His Synthesizer was just over three hundred experience points away from leveling up again.
’When I have time, I’ll buy some junk to synthesize for experience.’
Su Qing began to furnish his house.
Especially the lights!
He really didn’t want to keep using candles.
They were a hassle, and the Candle Flame was dimmer than a lamp.
He spent half the night tidying up.
The sky was already growing bright.
He was covered in dust and grime when Ouyang Mingming appeared again.
"Su Qing, what are you doing?" Ouyang Mingming asked, looking at her disciple, whose face was covered in dust.
Moreover, the house he lived in seemed to have completely changed.
It left Ouyang Mingming a little confused.
’We still have to go to the competition today.’
"Master, I’m just tidying up my place."
"I’ll go wash my face first."
Seeing Ouyang Mingming and Liu Linlin, Su Qing said a few words and then went inside to wash his face.
When he came out, he hadn’t changed his clothes, which were still covered in dust.
Only his face was clean.
"Why didn’t you change your clothes?" Ouyang Mingming said with displeasure.
"Master, we’re going to be fighting later. I’m worried this outfit will get torn. Wouldn’t it be a bigger loss if I changed into new clothes?"
Su Qing explained with a smile.
"Leave it to you to think of that," Ouyang Mingming said in exasperation, but she still grabbed Su Qing and flew off.
Su Qing: "..."
’Can’t you just let me fly normally for once?’
After being brought here again, Ouyang Mingming exchanged a few polite words with the other Elders.
Afterward, Su Qing and Liu Linlin drew lots again.
This time,
Su Qing drew number 39.
Liu Linlin drew number 14.
A very early number.
After the first round of eliminations, there were fewer than a hundred contestants left.
So, it was very soon.
It was Liu Linlin’s turn.
"Junior Brother, I’m going to get ready."
"Okay. Good luck, Senior Sister."
Su Qing nodded with a smile.
He had just been chatting with Liu Linlin, who told him that within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, even for a True Disciple, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were essential. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to close the gap between cultivators.
Consuming certain Heavenly and Earthly Treasures could slowly alter one’s own constitution, allowing for faster Cultivation.
If one only focused on Cultivation, their strength would fall below most others.
Here in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, there was a Teleportation Array connected to the Celestial Sea Realm, where the sect had a garrison.
The next match was Liu Linlin’s.
Su Qing watched as she began to fight.
From what the audience was saying, Liu Linlin seemed to have run into a True Inheritor.
Liu Linlin went all out from the very beginning.
A scorching Great Sun True Flame practically covered the entire arena.
The other True Inheritor’s aura was also very strong.
It seemed he cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body.
At the same time, he also had a Thunder Element Single Spirit Root.
He was said to be the newly accepted disciple of a Nascent Soul Master.
His name was Bai Ranmo, a man.
It was a very pleasant name, and the man himself was incredibly handsome, though he had a rather cold temperament.
Being outside the arena, Su Qing only knew that Liu Linlin’s fight with her opponent didn’t last long.
After a blinding flash of lightning,
Liu Linlin was knocked out of the arena.
Bai Ranmo cupped his fist in a salute toward the direction Liu Linlin had flown, then left the stage.
Su Qing wasn’t worried about Liu Linlin’s injuries, because people from the Holy Pill Hall had gone over to her.
...
After a long wait,
Liu Linlin still hadn’t returned to their private room.
Su Qing started to get a little concerned.
’Could her injuries be that serious?’
But it was almost time for Su Qing’s match.
There were only a few more fights to go.
...
Su Qing had no choice but to wait for his turn.
"Number 38 to the stage! Number 39, prepare yourself!"
The Steward Elder above called out, and Su Qing started heading toward the arena.
’Is it my turn?’
Su Qing stood up and went to the side of the stage.
His appearance immediately sparked a lot of discussion among the spectators.
"That’s him! The one who beat Wei Qianqiu from the Celestial Pride List yesterday. Wei Qianqiu has now dropped to 90th place."
"This Su Qing is already 89th on the Celestial Pride List."
"Keep it down, he’s a True Disciple."
"Huh?"
...
...
Su Qing was helpless; he had heard them all.
But let them talk. He didn’t care.
Whether it was good or bad.
The match between the two number 38s was already decided.
"Number 39 to the stage. Number 40, prepare yourself."
Su Qing stepped onto the stage. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Across from him on the stage...
...stood an old acquaintance.
It was someone Su Qing knew of.
He was currently in the Holy Pill Hall.
It was that guy... Su Qing didn’t know his name.
In any case, his surname was Song.
...
...
"What a coincidence, Elder Ouyang," Jin Zhentu said with a loud laugh from the Elders’ seating area.
"I also didn’t expect such a coincidence, to meet in the second round," Ouyang Mingming replied with a calm smile.
"How about we make a bet? A bet on whose disciple will win?"
"I’ll put up a Foundation Establishment Pill. A friendly wager to liven things up."
"I wonder if Elder Ouyang is willing?" Jin Zhentu asked, seemingly confident that his disciple would win.
He had thrown a bet at Ouyang Mingming.
"A friendly wager, just a single Foundation Establishment Pill," Ouyang Mingming chuckled.
"In that case, I’ll bet a Tier One Upper Grade Magical Artifact. How about it?" Why would Ouyang Mingming not dare to bet? The stakes were small, anyway.
"Good! It’s a deal," Jin Zhentu laughed heartily.
It was as if he had already won.
Ouyang Mingming, however, was getting annoyed. "Golden Core Master, are you that certain my disciple will lose?"
"You know what he’s capable of!"
Jin Zhentu put on a smug expression and said with a faint smile, "My disciple is a Fantasist with a very high Visualization Talent. After joining the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, he successfully visualized the ancient great god, Donghuang Taiyi."
"He is now at the Ninth-Layer Candle Flame."
"What!!!"
"You old bastard, you tricked me out of my Magical Artifact," Ouyang Mingming cursed, fuming upon hearing this.
