[Ice God’s Favor: A Tier Three Talisman with innate Spiritual Wisdom. It can actively deploy the Ice Divine Shield to protect its master’s soul and body. When the Ice Divine Shield is broken, it will shatter into ice crystals, randomly teleporting the user a thousand li away. It automatically absorbs surrounding Energy to replenish itself and can be used repeatedly.]
...
In the end, Su Qing synthesized all the Talismans, upgrading this one to Tier Three.
’That’s more like it.’
Su Qing smiled happily.
"Extract."
After extracting it, Su Qing bit his finger and dripped his blood on it to claim ownership.
It was only when he saw his own blood...
...that Su Qing realized sothing seed off about it. The red blood had a faint, colorful sheen and looked translucent and crystalline.
He let it drip onto the Ice God’s Favor.
By claiming it with his blood, he would have a life-saving Talisman.
’It can withstand an attack from a Tier Three Golden Core Cultivator. That’s pretty damn powerful, you know?’
’The Talisman synthesis is done. Ti for the Storage Rings.’
Su Qing placed all his smaller, 0.5-cubic-ter Storage Rings into the Synthesizer.
Then he added a 5-cubic-ter Storage Ring and a 10-cubic-ter one.
Along with a 30-cubic-ter Storage Ring.
"Disable Divinization, enable Evolution."
Only Evolution could increase the space inside his Storage Rings.
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]
[Unnad Storage Ring: A Storage Ring made of Void Nether Stone, containing 3,000 cubic ters of storage space. Cannot store living creatures.]
Su Qing grinned when he read the description.
"Extract."
The three-thousand-cubic-ter Storage Ring had a simple, ancient design, resembling a ring carved from purplish-black jade.
Su Qing slipped it onto his finger and, without hesitation, moved everything except a few important items into this new, larger Storage Ring.
’This is so much better.’
’Three thousand cubic ters. This will last a long ti.’
Indeed, three thousand cubic ters was enormous. If it were filled with food, it would be enough to feed an ordinary person for half their life.
’I should upgrade the Earth Vein Resonance Technique, too.’
Su Qing thought for a mont about his Nine Swords Demon Shadow and his Heaven-Supporting Sword.
His Geng tal Hidden Sword needed an upgrade as well.
’I’ll synthesize them all.’
"Replicate Geng tal Hidden Sword·Demon 1 seven tis."
After a wave of dizziness, Su Qing felt normal again.
’Just as I thought. At my current level, the Geng tal Hidden Sword is useless to now.’
He didn’t need to replicate Nine Swords Demon Shadow since he already had one, and he also had a Heaven-Supporting Sword.
It was just enough for the synthesis.
After placing them in one by one...
"Enable Divinization, disable Evolution."
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Divinization Triggered]
[God-Falling Sword: A sword strike that not even a god can withstand. One must comprehend the God-Defying Will and use it to nurture the God-Falling Sword.]
’Comprehend the God-Defying Will?’
’Do I need to synthesize it again?’
’Forget it. I’ll see how to comprehend this God-Defying Will first.’
"Extract."
The technique was extracted into his soul.
Su Qing then perceived a scene: a tiny, ant-like human holding a broken sword, facing a god so imnse it filled the sky, a being like the very center of the world. Then, the human drew their sword.
With that single strike, the god fell. Even heaven and earth lost their luster...
Snapping back to reality, Su Qing gasped for air, his face even paler than before.
’That was too much. It’s a good thing I didn’t continue the synthesis.’
’I feel like my soul was almost cleaved in two.’
’The God-Defying Will...’
Even as an observer, Su Qing had felt the intermingled rage and indifference of the sword-wielder, along with an overwhelming sense of contempt.
’The God-Defying Will and the Heaven-Supporting Will must be similar. Both involve a weaker being who is Fearless in the face of a powerful existence.’
’The state of mind to dare draw one’s sword.’
.....
’To be Fearless, one must be in a state where life and death are of no concern.’
’That’s what it takes to challenge the strong.’
’God-defying...’
Su Qing wondered if he would dare to draw that sword if he were in that situation. If he had the power, he definitely would.
But without it, he probably wouldn’t dare.
...
’If I don’t have the power, doesn’t that just an I need to nurture it?’
Su Qing pondered this continuously.
The God-Falling Sword was primarily an exercise of will.
’No distracting thoughts. Just a single-minded focus: I must draw this sword, and I will kill that god!’
"..."
"..."
Su Qing grew silent.
His thoughts began to quiet.
He focused his entire being on experiencing that single sword strike.
Gradually.
He shifted from a third-person observer’s perspective...
...to a first-person one.
The sword in his hand was broken and battered.
But he had to make this strike, to cut down the god.
...
...
[God-Falling Sword: Entry Level (1/500)]
When Su Qing ca to his senses, he realized he had already reached the Entry Level.
Only then did he understand.
This was the true essence of the God-Falling Sword: in the mont you draw your blade, there is no need for thought. There is only the need to kill the god.
Su Qing had no idea how long he had been in that state of comprehension.
’No wonder Immortals are oblivious to the passage of ti.’
’Even I lost track of all ti just comprehending the God-Falling Sword.’
’So the God-Falling Sword is settled.’
’I’ll just have to nurture it slowly.’
Su Qing got up and left his small cabin.
He headed to the Marketplace to buy so dicinal herbs.
He was preparing to start practicing Alchemy.
There were no recipes for Tier Two Elixirs in the Marketplace, so even though Su Qing had reached the Foundation Establishnt Realm, he couldn’t craft any.
Furthermore, his Alchemy Skill Level hadn’t even reached the halfway mark.
’Looks like I’ll have to keep relying on selling synthesized Elixirs.’
It wasn’t that Su Qing wanted to do this.
But he had no choice. It was the only way to earn Spirit Stones.
Without Spirit Stones, he couldn’t possibly buy any Cultivation Techniques from the Sect.
’I wonder if Song Zhining is still in the Sect. If he is, I wouldn’t mind selling him one.’
’But it’s been almost two years. Would he still want one?’
Su Qing didn’t know.
So, he bought the dicinal herbs for Qi Nourishing Pills.
He was going to refine Qi Nourishing Pills.
After purchasing a pile of herbs, Su Qing rembered that he had never even used his Divine Fire Technique.
Moreover, he didn’t have a fla to nurture.
’Crap!’
Storage Rings couldn’t hold a Fire Seed.
So, the Fire Seed he had left over had long since been extinguished due to Su Qing’s improper storage.
Su Qing casually bought another Fire Seed.
He would first use this Fire Seed to refine the Elixirs.
...
Alchemy took another week.
Su Qing successfully refined over fifteen thousand Qi Nourishing Pills.
He synthesized all of them.
Since Su Qing intended to sell them all, he disabled both the Divinization and Evolution Talents.
However, so Elixirs still triggered other one-percent Talents.
[Reverse ridian Qi Dissipation Pill: Consuming this will throw the ridians into chaos and dissipate all Magical Power.]
[Godly Energy Pill: After consuming this Elixir, the Magical Power refined during Cultivation will be consolidated. A portion of the Magical Power will nourish the soul. Duration: half an hour.]
These were Mutated Elixirs.
[Demon Qi Pill: Nourishes the Demonic Qi within a Demon Cultivator and can be used to refine it.]
There were five Demon Qi Pills.
[Immortal Qi Pill: After consumption, it can refine Magical Power into Immortal Qi. A single wisp of Immortal Qi can extend one’s lifespan by ten years. Duration: half an hour.]
There were also five Immortal Qi Pills.
[Qi Nourishing Pill with Spiritual Wisdom: It doesn’t want to be eaten! It wants to cultivate!]
There were only two Qi Nourishing Pills with Spiritual Wisdom.
[Qi Nourishing Pill (Standardization): After consumption, automatically refines Magical Power. Duration: 5 years.]
[Dragon and Tiger Pill (Dinsionalization): Consumption increases Magical Power by an amount equivalent to 1 year of cultivation.]
The rest were all fine-grade Qi Nourishing Pills.
Su Qing synthesized them again, turning them into Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills.
However, during the process, he triggered Standardization once, Demonization once, and Immortal Transformation once.
[Qi Nourishing Pill 1 (Standardization): After consumption, automatically refines Magical Power. Duration: 10 years.]
[Great Demon Qi Pill: Nourishes the Demonic Qi within a Demon Cultivator, refines the Demonic Qi, and fortifies the mind.]
[Great Immortal Qi Pill: Can refine Magical Power into Immortal Qi. A single wisp of Immortal Qi can extend one’s lifespan by ten years. Duration: one hour.]
