My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 259: Chapter 257: Joining the Moon God Palace

Su Qing arrived at the registration area.

It was a huge square with a Teleportation Array in the middle.

A long line of men and women stood ahead.

They wore all sorts of attire.

Su Qing got in line as well.

The sun was nearly setting by the time Su Qing reached the front of the line.

There were two Cultivators, both in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

"Place your hand on the orb," one of the Qi Cultivation Cultivators said wearily.

He had been stuck with this task for many days.

If it weren’t for the Sect’s Contribution Points,

he would never have taken on such a tedious job.

"Um, I’m a Loose Cultivator at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation," Su Qing said.

"A Loose Cultivator? We’re not recruiting them!" the two Qi Cultivation Cultivators said in perfect, practiced unison. After speaking, they exchanged a glance and smirked.

"I know Alchemy!" Su Qing said with a smile.

"You have a skill?" The two fell silent.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-three. I started my Cultivation at fourteen."

’Nine years to reach the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation... his aptitude isn’t bad. And he has Alchemy Skill on top of that.’

The two Qi Cultivation Cultivators tensed up slightly.

"Put your hand on the orb. Let’s see."

"Alright." Su Qing nodded and placed his hand on the orb.

A five-colored light appeared, and the two Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this ruled out the possibility that he was a genuine Demon Cultivator.

"You’re clear. Go to the Teleportation Array up ahead. Take this token."

One of the Cultivators handed him a wooden token engraved with the character for "Moon."

Neither of the two had a higher Cultivation than Su Qing.

But what could he do? He was a Cultivator seeking to join them.

"No offense, Senior Brother. We’re just following the rules," the other Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivator whispered.

Su Qing smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry about it."

With his Alchemy Skill and Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, he would be a powerful figure, at least within the Outer Sect.

After waiting a while longer, a large group of people gathered on the Teleportation Array and were transported away.

In an instant, they were teleported to a valley.

’It’s not a Pocket World!’

Mountains surrounded them on all sides, and a river flowed through the middle, dividing the land in two.

"More new arrivals?" This time, it was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a middle-aged man who looked very composed and steady.

"Form a line and hand over your tokens one by one to be recorded."

Su Qing lined up again, but this time it was much quicker.

Soon, it was his turn.

Su Qing handed over his token, and the man looked him over.

"A Loose Cultivator?" the Foundation Establishment Cultivator asked.

"Yes, a Loose Cultivator," Su Qing confirmed with a nod.

"What skill do you have?"

"Alchemy," Su Qing replied.

"Good. Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation. If you make some contributions to the Sect for a few years, a Foundation Establishment Pill is practically guaranteed." The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was already dangling a carrot.

The man recorded Su Qing’s information. "What’s your name?"

"Ye Shengliang," Su Qing said.

’Ye Shengliang’ was a pun on ’Ye Sheng is finished,’ a curse wishing for Ye Sheng’s doom.

"Not bad."

"Go report to the Alchemy Hall." The man gave Su Qing another token.

This one had a pattern of a Medicine Cauldron on it.

"Yes, sir."

There was a map of the valley nearby.

Su Qing went over to look at it.

He quickly found his destination.

The Alchemy Hall of the Moon God Palace.

It was located halfway up a mountain.

It took Su Qing quite some time to find his way there.

Upon entering the Alchemy Hall, the first thing he saw was an Elixir Shop.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy Elixirs or sell medicinal herbs?" The shop was tended by a young Cultivator at the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation.

"Neither. I’m here to join the Alchemy Hall," Su Qing said, shaking his head and presenting his token.

"Greetings, Pill Master." As soon as he saw the token, the young man immediately cupped his hands and bowed.

"I’m here to join the Alchemy Hall."

"Pill Master... are you new here?" the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator suddenly realized.

"Please, follow me."

Su Qing followed him.

The Cultivator led Su Qing through a side door, which opened into a wide area with many open spaces and buildings behind the shop.

Su Qing was brought before a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, a Loose Cultivator, just joined, right?"

"Yes, sir," Su Qing said, acting a little reserved.

"Hahaha, no need to be nervous. What Elixirs can you refine?"

"Qi Nourishing Pills, Nourishing Yuan Pills, and Detoxification Pills."

"Oh? Not bad. Well then, from now on, you can start contributing to the Sect."

"Refining ten Qi Nourishing Pills a day will earn you 10 Contribution Points."

"A Foundation Establishment Pill requires thirty thousand Contribution Points. However, you’ll be provided with five sets of ingredients for it at no cost. You only need to successfully refine one."

"As for the rest... well, you know the rules among us Alchemy Masters."

"I understand, sir," Su Qing said with cupped hands.

He didn’t care about any of this. What Su Qing wanted was the Secret Realm.

’I wonder what Cultivation is required to enter the Secret Realm.’

’Or rather, how can I obtain a legitimate chance to enter it?’

"Since you’ve just joined the Sect, here." The man gave Su Qing a token.

This token was different. It was very thin.

"It’s a one-time-use token. Go to the Book Pavilion and find yourself a Magic or Cultivation Technique. Either is fine."

"It’s a perk for joining the Sect."

"Thank you, sir," Su Qing said after taking it.

"Mm. I’ll have someone arrange your living quarters. There will be an Alchemy Room inside, and the fire will be a Spiritual Fire from a Magical Artifact."

After that, everything was arranged for Su Qing.

It was all very easy, with no strange demands.

After all, Su Qing was a promising Alchemy Master. Barring any accidents, he was sure to become a Tier Two Alchemist.

He was a Cultivator worth investing in.

Naturally, no one would try to trip him up with dirty, underhanded tricks.

In the days after his arrival, Su Qing frantically bought medicinal herbs and refined Elixirs.

He had already completed his tasks to perfection.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator had shown Su Qing the price for a Foundation Establishment Pill within the Sect.

One thousand Contribution Points, plus thirty thousand Spirit Stones, could buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

If Su Qing didn’t show any ambition,

that would be the real problem. As a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator joining a Sect, he needed to have a goal. It made him seem more predictable and easier to manage.

And Su Qing was playing his part perfectly.

「Several days later.」

「Nightfall.」

Xiaoqing and the Immortal Puppet returned.

"Master, we failed the mission," Xiaoqing said.

Su Qing frowned. ’They couldn’t even kill him with all that?’

"What happened? Explain clearly."

"A wisp of Ye Sheng’s Split Soul entered the Reincarnation Disc, had its soul cleansed, and entered the cycle of the Celestial Dao’s reincarnation."

"It can no longer be found."

"The rest have been completely eliminated," Xiaoqing said.

"Reincarnated like the Nine-Turned Gourd Immortal?" Su Qing asked.

"No. If it were only to that extent, I would still be able to find it," Xiaoqing explained. "His soul was truly washed clean, as if reborn."

"This also means that all karmic ties have been severed."

"..." Su Qing started to laugh.

That was no different from being dead.

"It’s fine. For a guy like Ye Sheng, this is as good as being dead," Su Qing said.

"Xiaoqing, Immortal Puppet, return to Qingsu Island in secret."

Right now, Su Qing had no need for the Immortal Puppet.

With his Fifth Realm Soul, he was in no danger of dying.

Besides, no one knew of his true existence; he was just a humble Qi Cultivation Cultivator.

He couldn’t even use the Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades anymore.

At most, he could communicate with it and have it act on its own.

He might as well wait until he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm and then reforge the Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades into something even more powerful.

"Yes, Master."

The Immortal Puppet took Xiaoqing and vanished in an instant.

Even with his Fifth Realm Soul, Su Qing couldn’t perceive how the Immortal Puppet had left.

Xiaoqing was very useful, but not right now.

He didn’t have much need for them at the moment.

Now that that guy Ye Sheng was dead,

Su Qing no longer needed to worry about being targeted by High-level Cultivators.

At most, he might run into some Demon Cultivators hiding among those with Spirit Roots,

or the occasional Tribulation Cultivator.

But Su Qing wasn’t concerned. In essence, he possessed the power of the Fifth Realm.
