Just as Su Qing placed all the Cultivation Techniques into the Synthesizer and was about to combine them...
"Su Qing, Su Qing."
"Get out here!"
The sound of Ouyang Mingming’s voice had barely reached him before the door to his house was kicked open.
BANG~
Ouyang Mingming was about to start scolding him.
But to her surprise, the mont she stepped inside, she was t with a wave of warmth—a temperature completely out of place on Cold Extremity Peak. Then her eyes fell on Su Qing, sitting on a sofa he had apparently made himself.
Her anger flared again. "You brat, you really know how to live it up!"
"That True Disciple of Elder Baili’s challenged you, why didn’t you accept?"
"Didn’t want to," Su Qing said without even thinking.
’So it was about that.’
’And here I was, wondering what all the fuss was about.’
"Didn’t want to!" Ouyang Mingming got angry again.
"Because you ’didn’t want to,’ you just let your entire year’s stipend go down the drain?"
"And you get no ranking on the Celestial Pride List?"
"So disciple you are. I, your own master, am getting chewed out by the other Elders because of you."
Ouyang Mingming was furious. She plopped down on Su Qing’s sofa, then shot out one of her slender, shapely legs and kicked him right onto the floor.
Su Qing was truly dumbfounded.
"Master, it’s just a year’s stipend. With my Alchemy skills, why would I need to care about that?"
"And what does a ranking even matter?"
"The ranking, the stipend—they’re once a year, and both co with a Spirit Fruit!"
"Do you have any idea what a Spirit Fruit is? It can improve your Immortal Cultivation Talent! Especially for soone like you who’s never had one."
Ouyang Mingming explained curtly.
After venting a bit, Ouyang Mingming cald down.
She felt the soft, comfortable sensation under her, how it was supportive without sinking, and there was even a backrest.
It was incredibly comfortable.
"This long chair... not bad. I’ll take it."
"Your Soul Realm has improved nicely. Keep up the good work."
Ouyang Mingming hadn’t even finished speaking before she stuffed Su Qing’s sofa into her Storage Ring.
Then she vanished in a flash.
"..."
’Seriously? It’s just a sofa.’ Su Qing was speechless. He stood up and dusted himself off.
But his master was actually pretty great.
’If you wanted it, you could have just said so. I can make another one, it doesn’t even take that long...’
Su Qing shook his head.
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]

"Rena to: Five Elents Tribulation Body."

"I’ve synthesized another physique-related Cultivation Technique." Su Qing grinned happily.
Once he reached Perfection, he would gain another special physique.
"Extract."
After a mont of daze, Su Qing understood how to practice this Cultivation Technique.
Damn. After cultivating to Great Success and obtaining the Divine Skill Five Thunder Technique, he had to induce a Thunder Tribulation to strike himself repeatedly.
Only then could he reach Perfection.
And obtain the Five Elents Tribulation Body.
"Another physique."
Filled with excitent, Su Qing took out an evolved version of a Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill from his Storage Ring.
He consud it.
"Ah~"
"Hoo~"
Less than ten seconds after swallowing it, Su Qing felt as if his ridians were getting a massage, an incredibly comfortable sensation.
’A ten percent increase in talent.’
’Ti to continue.’
Su Qing began to cultivate the Five Elents Tribulation Body technique.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi began to surge into Su Qing’s body like a crazed torrent.
He absorbed it continuously.

At that mont, You Yanhan erged from her seclusion.
’I’ve finally mastered the Swordsmanship. I should go check on my disciple.’
Although You Yanhan enjoyed snatching things from her senior sister, she wouldn’t just completely abandon her responsibilities after getting what she wanted.
But then she noticed that a storm of Spiritual Qi had actually ford over the place where her young disciple was living.
’My disciple can’t be that powerful, can she?’
You Yanhan looked at the small-scale Spiritual Qi storm and couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
’Could it be Su Qing, the one my senior sister took in?’
’Of course. The one my senior sister sets her eyes on is always the best.’ You Yanhan gritted her teeth in frustration.
"Junior Sister You, Linlin went to the residence on the other side. Don’t go disturbing my Su Qing, now." Ouyang Mingming also materialized in front of You Yanhan.
You Yanhan snorted coldly. "Damn Fox Spirit."
"Hmph!"
"Are you just jealous of my beauty? You stinky sword-swinger."
"Damn Fox Spirit," You Yanhan repeated, her face full of disdain.
"Stinky sword-swinger," Ouyang Mingming shot back with equal disdain.
"Damn Fox Spirit!"
"Stinky sword-swinger!"
"..."
Perhaps this was just their way of deepening their bond.
Amidst their bickering, the two went their separate ways, and You Yanhan, for once, actually began teaching her disciple Swordsmanship.
Ouyang Mingming, however, was a little puzzled.
’The Spiritual Qi on Cold Extremity Peak should be enough for the little guy.’
Ouyang Mingming pinched the bridge of her nose, a new worry seemingly added to her troubles.

"A Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill." Song Zhining picked up the Elixir and studied it for half a day.
He didn’t go looking for his master, Jin Zhentu, but instead pondered it on his own for a long ti.
’The effect of a Nourishing Yuan Pill is to stabilize and repair ridians. So what about this Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill?’
Song Zhining had taken the evolved version of Su Qing’s fine-grade Nourishing Yuan Pill.
The effect of the 500-Spirit Stone fine-grade Nourishing Yuan Pill was far stronger than that of a regular 50-Spirit Stone Nourishing Yuan Pill.
But with only a single Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill, he hesitated, wondering whether to take it and see.
Song Zhining studied it for another half a day.
Only then did he consu it.
The mont he began to refine it, Song Zhining felt what was different about this Top Grade Elixir.
"This is! The effect of a Spirit Fruit!"
"My Spirit Root... it’s beco more substantial!"
Song Zhining clearly perceived the effect of this Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill: it improved one’s Immortal Cultivation Talent!
With his ridians from Cultivating Demon, which were inherently fragile, he had already obtained one Spirit Fruit during the last Sect competition.
It had the exact sa effect as this Top Grade Elixir.
’Su Qing... he has a secret!’
Song Zhining knew this, yet his eyes were incredibly clear and sober.
Within his Dantian, there was an illusory, fiery red glow.
And within his soul, there was a cube that appeared four-dinsional.
This was Song Zhining’s secret: the Stone of Imagination.
With it, anything could be turned from imagination into a concrete object.
And what he was doing right now was imagining a Spirit Root into existence. By consuming more Spirit Fruits, he could shorten the ti it took to imagine the Spirit Root, eventually giving birth to a real one.
’Su Qing... he’s worth befriending, not making an enemy of.’

「Ti flew by.」
Su Qing didn’t know how much ti had passed.
He only knew that he had been cultivating for a very, very long ti.

[Quasi-Star River Visualization Map: Entry Level (6.4264/500)]
[Five Elents Tribulation Body: Mastery (869/1000)]
Realm: Qi Cultivation Limit
Ninth-Layer Candle Fla
Physique: 5.9
Magical Power: 289.1
....
"Has it been fifteen days?"
Su Qing sighed. He hadn’t expected ti to pass so quickly.
His Physique had also grown quickly.
As had his Magical Power.
’As I thought, the numbers on my attribute panel aren’t very reliable.’
Besides, he couldn’t co up with an accurate nurical value to asure his current strength anyway.
’My Physique is still growing.’
’This ans cultivating the Five Elents Tribulation Body is still helping my Physique.’
’My Magical Power has been refined again. Have I reached the Qi Cultivation Limit?’
"It’s still not enough."
Su Qing muttered to himself and shook his head.
He needed to take a break.
And while he was at it, he would go out and see if there was anything good to buy and bring back to synthesize.
