My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 224: Chapter 222: New Spirit Medicine

Su Qing began to organize the Storage Ring that Su Hongshang had given him.

There were many Tier Four medicinal ingredients.

Eight of them, in fact.

[Xun Sheng Chun: A Tier Four herb that grows by absorbing the spring breeze once a year. After five thousand years of growth, its leaves carry the spring breeze, and its roots and stem contain the water of spring life, capable of regenerating limbs, growing meridians...]

[Gen Mountain Orchid: A Tier Four herb that feeds on mountains and rivers, using them as nutrients. The land where it grows becomes barren, with not a single blade of grass. It resembles a rock and hides in the mountains. This one has been growing for 1,481 years...]

...

[Reviving Grass Seeds: A Tier Three herb, these are the seeds of the Tier Six Resurrection Grass. They contain the essence of the Resurrection Grass. Consuming them can restore the soul and also guide a soul to return...]

...

Needless to say, even for the herbs that had already been picked, Su Qing was going to use his Immortal Technique on them.

Withered Wood Revives in Spring. The herbs could be brought back to life.

If one time wasn’t enough, Su Qing would simply do it again.

After all, it cost him next to nothing.

He could quickly recover his Magical Power after a single use.

It was practically a zero-cost ability.

Now that he had the Spirit Medicines, the only issue was that some of them were rather potent.

They required their own unique environments to grow.

But that was no problem; Su Qing had plenty of space.

His only fear was not having enough Spirit Medicines.

Su Qing moved all the seeds, Spirit Medicines, and Spirit Plants into his Great World.

He cast the Withered Wood Revives in Spring technique on all the Spirit Medicines at once.

It consumed half of Su Qing’s Magical Power to cover every single Spirit Medicine.

Only then did Su Qing nod in satisfaction. He instructed Xiaoqing in his Great World not to let those two creatures nibble on his Spirit Medicines.

The Low Tier ones were fine, but they weren’t to touch a single one of the High Tier ones.

Su Qing himself didn’t have many High Tier Spirit Medicines.

Now that Su Hongshang had returned, his collection of High Tier herbs had grown significantly.

Moreover, many of them were the exact Spirit Medicines required by his Pill Formulas.

As long as he could grow them, Su Qing would be able to refine all the Elixirs from the Tier Four Pill Formulas Su Hongshang had given him in less than a year.

He already had all the seeds; the only thing left was to cultivate them.

...

By the time Su Qing finished organizing everything, it was already evening.

Luo Xingya was in the kitchen.

She was trying to make new dishes, like desserts.

Su Qing had taught her everything himself, step-by-step.

After all, even Su Qing liked to have a bite every now and then.

It was a way to feel like he was truly living.

It seemed Su Hongshang was genuinely asleep.

When Su Qing checked on her with his senses, she was sleeping like a log.

’She must be truly exhausted,’ he thought.

He decided not to disturb her.

"Young Master, the things I made with this Spirit Rice are so sticky. Why aren’t they like yours?"

Luo Xingya had failed to make a pastry—an egg tart made with milk, eggs, and dough.

He looked at the flat, burnt-black object.

The corner of Su Qing’s eye twitched.

"Um, maybe try a different brand of Spirit Rice, or knead the dough for a little longer."

The dessert was a failure, but Luo Xingya had done much better with the other dishes. The fried fish balls, for instance, were excellent. The Spirit Fish inside had a perfect texture, and the batter was fried to a golden, crispy brown. With one bite, they were pleasantly chewy and burst with an incredibly savory juice.

They were served with a jam made from ordinary Spirit Fruits that Su Qing had cultivated.

A single jar of this jam required about ten Tier One Spirit Fruits and one Tier Two Spirit Fruit.

Su Qing was just not short on such resources.

If sold, it would fetch at least a million ordinary Spirit Stones.

But now, Su Qing was eating it mouthful by mouthful.

Even Luo Xingya sat by Su Qing’s side, eating each dish with a newfound demureness.

Ever since she started reading, Luo Xingya had become much more reserved.

She no longer brought up the matter of sharing a bed with Su Qing.

’This is actually a good thing,’ he thought. ’A girl shouldn’t be like the woman in the next room, just giving herself away so easily. It’s not a good look.’

Though she had become more reserved, Luo Xingya still took the initiative in many things.

For example, she would sweep the floor, clear away fallen leaves, or make the bed.

Su Qing never had to ask; the girl just did it all on her own initiative.

You could say that fellow Tang Dan had given him a wonderful gift.

To Su Qing, she was indeed a wonderful gift.

「The next day.」

Su Qing woke up early.

He was working on the Inference of a Teleportation Array.

It was based on the Teleportation Array from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land he remembered.

That morning, Luo Xingya had risen early to make some Lotus Heart Spirit Bean Porridge. It tasted wonderful, exceptionally fragrant and sweet, and it was the first time Su Qing had ever tried it.

It was also Luo Xingya’s first time making this particular porridge.

Unlike Su Qing, Luo Xingya needed to eat to sustain her body.

Ever since obtaining the Chaotic Life Body, Su Qing could go without eating if he so chose.

He ate when he felt like it.

Normal Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators, however, still needed to eat.

Su Hongshang pushed open her door and took a deep, refreshing breath.

"It smells wonderful! Xingya, what did you make?"

"I want some too," Su Hongshang said, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Luo Xingya.

"Yes, Madam. I’ll get you a bowl right away." Luo Xingya quickly went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of the porridge.

"It really is fragrant. Are these Tier Two spirit beans and the heart of a Tier One White Tooth Lotus?"

"Why..." Su Hongshang trailed off.

She had wanted to ask why the ingredients were such a low tier, but she stopped herself before the words came out.

"It’s been so long since I’ve had something like this. The flavor is so light and sweet." Su Hongshang began to eat as well.

She praised her as she ate, "Xingya, you’re quite something. A bed-warmer and a master chef?"

Su Hongshang nudged Su Qing, who was busy with his Array Inference, with her elbow.

Su Qing caught her arm and chuckled. "She’s not bad. Some of her talents aren’t convenient to display right now."

"You’ll get used to it," Su Qing added. He had noticed Su Hongshang’s initial thought about the ingredients.

’It can’t be helped,’ he thought. ’If my little Maid knew that her new mistress was a Great Demon, her entire worldview would collapse.’

You couldn’t use such high-grade ingredients when cooking with the products of Spirit Plants.

For one, the Maid wouldn’t be able to handle them. For another, Su Qing was afraid his Maid would let something slip.

That was also a critical concern.

It was better to keep things as normal as possible.

’For a peak Tier Two Array Master like me to use some Tier Two Spiritual Materials and Treasures is a perfectly normal thing.’

After finishing her food, Su Hongshang latched onto Su Qing’s arm.

"Do you have any more of those things? I want one too!"

"You give them away to others so casually, surely you can spare one for me, right?" Su Hongshang asked, her tone wheedling.

Seeing this behavior coming from someone wearing An Lehuan’s face felt a little strange to Su Qing.

He felt an urge to laugh.

"Alright, alright, don’t be so impatient. I’ll give you some to play with tonight. What’s the big deal?" Su Qing said with a sigh.

"Right now, I need to work on the Array Inference. Don’t disturb me."

"Okay!" Hearing Su Qing’s promise, Su Hongshang’s face lit up with delight.

’It seems Immortal Stones really are like toys to Su Qing,’ she thought happily.

She was absolutely thrilled.

She wished she could revert to her original form right then and there and share an intimate moment with Su Qing.

However, watching Su Qing’s serious, focused expression, Su Hongshang found that she was starting to like it, even if it was on An Lehuan’s face.

His eyes, in particular, were incredibly expressive.

They were mesmerizing to look at.

Nearby, after tending to some Profound Clarity Flowers in the courtyard, Luo Xingya picked up her sword and began practicing her Sword Techniques.

Su Hongshang, feeling happy and having nothing else to do, called out, "Xingya, have you ever used those Sword Techniques in a real battle?"

"No, Madam."

"Let me spar with you. Real combat is the only way you’ll learn how to truly wield a sword."

"Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I will take this seriously," Luo Xingya said earnestly, tightening her grip on her sword’s hilt.

She also wanted to see for herself what the difference was between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Cultivation Realm.

"It’s not convenient here. Come with me." Su Hongshang considered for a moment. A small courtyard like this was certainly not suitable. It would be better to go to her Pocket World.

It would be easy enough to explain the Pocket World to a young girl like her.
