My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Zi Island Turmoil, Rank 4 Pill Master

Su Qing didn’t stay on Ugly Island for long.

He hurried on to Zi Island.

Entering Zi Island was a different matter entirely.

It was the largest island Su Qing had seen on Ring Vine Island.

Furthermore, most of it was used for cultivating Spirit Medicines.

A unique medicinal fragrance hung in the air, mixed with the floral scent of blooming Spirit Medicines.

There were many Cultivators, but also mortal residents, which was truly amazing. On Su Qing’s previous islands, whether they were inhabited by Demon Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, there had been no mortals. And yet, here on Zi Island, mortals actually existed.

’Could these mortals truly resist the temptation of Longevity?’

But with a glance, Su Qing saw they were all either elderly or very young.

There were no young adults. Su Qing understood.

Generally speaking, Su Qing didn’t believe any young person would refuse the chance to attain extraordinary power if it was offered to them.

Even if it meant becoming a Demon Cultivator.

Ugly Island had Secret Techniques similar to those of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.

A Blood Pool, most certainly.

Su Qing walked into the Marketplace.

Most stalls were primarily selling Spirit Medicines.

The prices for Spirit Medicines were relatively cheap, but only slightly so.

——

——

On Zi Island, in a room within a high pavilion.

A faint medicinal fragrance was burning.

"Master Zhang, what brings you to my island so suddenly?" a soft, calm female voice asked.

"My grandson was killed."

"Oh? The one with the Water Spirit Root?" The Female Cultivator’s face was frosty, her eyebrows as straight and sharp as blades. She had a cold demeanor, like an ice beauty.

"Yes. It’s said the killer came to Zi Island. I wonder if Master Su is aware of this?"

Master Su gave a faint smile. "Heh. Of course I know nothing about that."

"Your grandson was killed. Just have another one. Tell your son to have another child. Who knows, maybe he’ll produce a Saint this time?"

Zhang Lingxuan said resentfully, "They say the culprit is in the Nascent Soul Realm and shows me no respect! What good would it do to have a hundred more?"

"If I don’t get angry, does that mean my grandsons can be slaughtered at will?"

Su Hongshang’s brow furrowed. "Nascent Soul Realm? If he’s at the Nascent Soul Realm, I can’t help you with this."

By the window, Zhang Lingxuan gritted his teeth, his handsome face twisted. "It’s all these people in Black Cloaks. All these Black Cloaks deserve to die."

He looked down at a figure in a Black Cloak below, one with a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation.

His anger burned. With a flick of his hand, he sent a palm strike downward, intending to kill a Black-Cloaked person to vent his frustration.

"Hm?"

A palm strike suddenly descended from the sky, and Su Qing felt it was aimed directly at him.

Looking up, he saw Zhang Lingxuan in the high pavilion above.

’This guy? A Nascent Soul Realm, attacking me?’

There were quite a few mortals next to Su Qing.

Su Qing flared his Magical Power, blocking the palm strike from above.

In an instant, he appeared up in the high pavilion.

He materialized before two Nascent Soul Realm experts, still clad in his Black Cloak.

There was also a poised and elegant beauty.

"You two... and especially the ’fellow cultivator’ who just attacked me."

Su Qing spoke coldly as the Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades hovered at his side.

"If you can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I think both of you will be staying here permanently."

Su Qing revealed his Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation.

Zhang Lingxuan was startled when Su Qing appeared, but when he saw Su Qing’s Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation and the white Magical Treasure that manifested by his side, he grew furious.

He roared, "Well, what do you know! My luck is truly something else. Even a blind cat finds a dead mouse sometimes."

"You dare kill my grandson? Die!"

Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Heaven.

In an instant, the entire top floor of the pavilion exploded.

Boundless Demonic Qi flooded the area, swarming toward Su Qing to devour him.

Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades.

The blade in Su Qing’s hand instantly split into ten thousand sword gleams.

A Sea of Swords washed over the Demonic Qi like a tide, sweeping it all away.

"The road of enemies is narrow indeed. You and your grandson are so much alike in some ways." Su Qing suddenly started laughing after hearing the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator’s words.

He laughed heartily, revealing his face.

He no longer wore the Black Cloak.

"Originally, I was hiding my Cultivation and walking down the street when your grandson provoked me for no reason. So I killed him."

"Today, you, his grandfather, show the same fine character. Like calls to like, I suppose."

Su Qing spoke coldly as the Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades shot toward the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Su Qing was certain the man had no way to dodge his Magical Treasure.

He glanced at the Female Cultivator who was watching from the side. "Fellow cultivator, do you intend to avenge him? Or will you stand with him?"

Su Hongshang shook her head. "Neither. I have no intention of getting involved. That man just now was the Patriarch of the Zhang Family from Si Island."

Su Qing’s Magical Treasure washed over Zhang Lingxuan like a torrential tide.

All Demons Return to the Sect.

Zhang Lingxuan condensed his Demonic Qi into a defensive Grand Array. His opponent’s Magical Treasure felt extraordinary, like a Tier Four Magical Treasure. To this day, Zhang Lingxuan still hadn’t gathered the materials for a Tier Four Magical Artifact, let alone the price to have an Artifact Refiner forge it. He didn’t even possess a Magical Treasure of his own.

That was why, upon seeing what looked like a Tier Four Magical Treasure, Zhang Lingxuan had decisively used his strongest Grand Array to defend himself.

However, each sword was like the sharpest blade in existence, and the Grand Array disintegrated in an instant.

Sword after sword pierced through Zhang Lingxuan’s body.

"No!"

Zhang Lingxuan gritted his teeth. His Nascent Soul grasped a Talisman and activated its Magical Power.

A streak of light instantly shot away from Zi Island.

"What!" Su Qing frowned.

The Nascent Soul had escaped. Su Qing had been careless this time and actually let him get away.

Su Qing’s displeasure was written all over his face.

The man had left nothing behind.

’Damn it.’

Su Qing shot a harsh glare at the Female Cultivator to the side.

The Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades reverted to a single sword and pointed it at her. "Now, about you. If you don’t give me a perfect explanation, I won’t make the mistake of letting a Nascent Soul escape this time."

"Kid, don’t be so arrogant!"

"That’s right! Kid, put down that sword! Su the Pill Master is a Tier Four Pill Master. How could she possibly be connected to the Zhang Family of Si Island?"

Two Cultivators had suddenly appeared.

A man and a woman.

The man held a Tier Four Magical Treasure in the shape of a saber, and the woman held a crescent-shaped Magical Treasure.

Both of them were protecting the woman.

"Ju Xin, Ju Yaya, don’t be rash."

"Fellow cultivator who has come from afar, why don’t we sit down and talk things over? I don’t believe we need to be enemies." Su Hongshang lightly bit her lip, her lively eyes looking at Su Qing.

Su Qing was a reasonable person. "Oh, I love to be reasonable. But if your reasoning doesn’t satisfy me..."

"...you’ll need at least eighty to a hundred Tier Four Elixirs to soothe my wounded feelings. Otherwise, the three of you won’t be enough either."

Su Qing’s tone was incredibly arrogant, and incredibly confident.

"You brat! How can a mere Initial Tier Nascent Soul be so arrogant! And who calculates the price of Tier Four Elixirs like that?"

"Don’t be rash, Ju Xin!" Su Hongshang held the man back and smiled. "Of course, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

The moment Su Qing revealed his face, Su Hongshang knew who he was.

The Demon from the Immortal Alliance’s bounty list: Su Qing.

According to the rumors, while still in the Golden Core Realm, he had annihilated a Nascent Soul Family. That family had a sword master who had even comprehended Sword Intent, yet Su Qing had killed him all the same.

One could only imagine, then, that the three of them stood absolutely no chance of killing the man before them.

She didn’t know if he had already been at the Nascent Soul Realm when he killed that other Nascent Soul Realm expert on Celestial Fragrance Island in the Celestial Sea Realm, or if he had truly done it while he was still at the Golden Core stage.

...

...

Inside a graceful and elegant courtyard.

The courtyard contained several lush, flowering trees that were quite pleasant to look at, as well as a rockery with a running stream.

Su Qing and Su Hongshang were in a pavilion to one side.

As Su Hongshang poured tea for Su Qing, she began to explain. They had also introduced themselves to each other.

The two Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had already returned to their own families.

Su Hongshang was explaining that Zhang Lingxuan had only just arrived on Zi Island to ask questions.

Therefore, she had no intention of aiding a villain. Besides, how could someone like him possibly afford to hire a Tier Four Pill Master to fight for him?

...

...

"I see. It seems I’ve misunderstood you, Su the Pill Master." Su Qing took a small sip of tea.

Hm?

Su Qing suddenly looked down at the teacup in his hand.

[Springwater steeped with Enlightenment Tea: After consumption, increases one’s Enlightenment capacity by forty percent for one hour.]

’What a waste. Brewing it as tea has caused it to lose ten percent of its efficacy.’

’I never would have thought this Pill Master was so wealthy.’
