My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 284: Chapter 282: The Demon Fiends’ Offensive

"It’s all consensual."

"My Lord, you jest."

"These are Desire Demons."

"It’s simply a matter of mutual consent," Lei Qing said with a hearty laugh.

Su Qing sighed. "Then why doesn’t the Demon Race stop these Demon Fiends from attacking?"

"Why must it be up to us low-level Cultivators to stop them?" Su Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"The Demon Race is powerful; they don’t bother with these Demon Fiends."

"So it’s up to us to resist," he said helplessly.

Lei Qing’s hometown was here. By guarding this place, he’d found himself a beauty, he could gather materials from the Demon Fiends, and he could exchange them for Spirit Stones and other resources.

For a Loose Cultivator like Lei Qing, this was the best it could get.

"The Cultivators here make up almost half of all the Loose Cultivators affiliated with the Treasure Sect."

"Only a great figure from the Treasure Sect like you, my Lord, has no need to worry about cultivation resources," Lei Qing explained.

Su Qing smiled but didn’t say anything.

’Cultivation resources? What Cultivator doesn’t covet them? It’s just that the needs are different at each Realm.’

"Alright, I’m heading back to my room."

"Understood, my Lord." Lei Qing clasped his hands in a salute.

This lord seemed much more amicable than the previous ones, but in reality, he was even more aloof.

It wasn’t just simple arrogance; his gaze was profound, as if it could see right through him.

’This isn’t something an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could do.’

...

After returning to his room, Su Qing didn’t do anything else.

He immediately began to synthesize Spirit Fruits.

Just now, he had indeed used the God Demon-breaking Immortal Pupil to glance at Lei Qing.

He discovered that the young man’s fortune was at most cyan with a hint of blue. If he didn’t encounter some fortuitous opportunity, then his future prospects wouldn’t change much.

The same probably went for his Cultivation.

Su Qing had seen many Nascent Soul Cultivators. Their basic fortune was always crimson, or some shade of red and above.

So, this young man likely only had a small sliver of good fortune.

...

「Six days later.」

A loud horn blast, so sharp it made one’s skin prickle, suddenly sounded.

Su Qing went out to look.

Outside the fortress walls, there was nothing but Demon Fiends.

The majority were Unranked.

But a large portion were First Realm Demon Fiends.

There were at least ten thousand of them.

’So many Demon Fiends?’

’This is terrifying. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn’t want to get bogged down in a battle of attrition like this.’

The sheer numbers were just too overwhelming.

"My Lord, I’m heading out to kill one!" After coming out, Lei Qing joined the fray.

He was clad in a suit of armor and wielded a sharp Magical Artifact.

Su Qing nodded.

The middle-aged Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator did the same.

Many Cultivators had entered the battlefield.

In this battle, it seemed everyone was in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and they all wore thick suits of armor.

In low-Realm battles, armor was always a crucial means of survival.

Su Qing also made his move.

He specifically targeted the First Realm Demon Fiends.

’I’m not going to take out my Immortal Sword.’

’The Fireball Technique should be enough, right?’

’At worst, I can just use a weakened God Demon Summoning Day.’

The Fireball Technique in Su Qing’s hands seemed like a simple, small fireball.

But with every strike, a First Realm Demon Fiend and a pile of Unranked Magic Beasts were instantly killed.

The lingering flames on the ground, in particular, forced the Demon Fiends to change their paths of movement.

Why they wanted to attack this place, Su Qing truly didn’t understand.

But he could notice a faint, hidden gaze looking in this direction.

’It’s probably that guy’s doing.’

’But its strength is low. The Sects and the Demon Race haven’t said anything about it; they just built this fortress to block the Magic Beasts.’

Su Qing knew the situation must be somewhat complicated.

It was likely the result of a balance of power between different factions.

This was what Su Qing hated most.

’The faction I built is so much better. No other faction dares to provoke mine, and I don’t provoke anyone either.’

’After all, my faction is only powerful within a certain range, which maintains the balance.’

’And I only do business, without getting into any entanglements over interests.’

Just killing the Demon Fiends was already starting to annoy Su Qing.

However, casualties among the Cultivators began to appear. The First Realm Demon Fiends weren’t useless; they definitely had their strengths.

They either had powerful Magic for sneak attacks or possessed a formidable Physique.

The killing continued until nightfall.

At night, on the flat plains outside the fortress, fires blazed in many places.

Su Qing was still annihilating them.

He also saved many Cultivators who were wounded and on the brink of death from the Demon Fiends.

"This Foundation Establishment Lord is too good!"

"Yeah! He’s the one doing the most work!"

"Don’t talk, be careful of your wound. Cherish this Foundation Establishment Lord; not every one of them is like him."

"I wonder what this Lord’s name is!"

"Even if I only have one Spirit Stone, I’ll give it to the Foundation Establishment Lord to show my thanks. A Demon Fiend almost bit my head off just now."

"Luckily, the Lord sent a fireball down and saved my life."

"..."

...

The crowd buzzed with discussion, most of it filled with gratitude.

Su Qing was still launching Fireball Techniques.

He feigned needing to recover, consuming a few Elixirs for show.

Every so often, he would sit cross-legged and pretend to replenish the True Essence in his body.

Over ten thousand of them.

From one dawn to the next.

They had fought for almost a full day.

Only then did the battlefield slowly quiet down.

Su Qing had even patrolled the thousand-meter-long stretch of the fortress, constantly firing Fireball Techniques to help out.

He didn’t use any of his other abilities at all.

They were all just First Realm trash.

’Why would I need any other tricks?’

’Just get it done!’

...

Looking at the battlefield outside, Su Qing let out a sigh of relief. It was dawn again.

Su Qing watched the newly risen sun.

’No wonder that Shopkeeper from the Treasure Tower was unwilling to come.’

’But they’re all just First Realm Demon Fiends, they aren’t much of a threat, are they?’

’Isn’t a single Tier Two Spirit Fruit a bit too high a price for this?’

...

「One day later.」

The middle-aged Cultivator found Su Qing.

"Lord Ye, the Demon Fiends you cleared out have been processed."

"Do you need the materials from the Demon Fiends’ bodies, or would you like them converted into Spirit Stones?"

After the man said this, Su Qing finally realized that these Demon Fiends were valuable.

"Spirit Stones. What use are materials from Demon Fiends to me?"

"Yes, my Lord."

「Another day passed.」

Su Qing received an income of nearly one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

’Isn’t that a bit much?’

"Xu De, are you sure it’s this many Spirit Stones?"

"I earned nearly one hundred thousand Spirit Stones from this one battle?" Su Qing looked at the middle-aged Cultivator in astonishment.

"Yes, Lord Ye. Was it calculated too low?"

"I can have the Treasure Sect people calculate it again," Xu De asked, puzzled.

"No need," Su Qing shook his head.

’That’s not what I meant. How could these First Realm Demon Fiends be so valuable?’

It wasn’t as if Su Qing had killed every single First Realm Demon Fiend.

But he had killed the vast majority of them.

And the Unranked Magic Beasts as well.

After receiving the Spirit Stones, Su Qing was secretly amazed.

No wonder so many Loose Cultivators came here to defend against the Demon Fiend attacks. It turned out the Demon Fiends could be exchanged for Spirit Stones.

Su Qing dared to say that any Loose Cultivator who participated and killed just one or two Unranked Magic Beasts would probably earn dozens of Spirit Stones.

After a major battle, the rewards were plentiful.

Although the risks were high, the Spirit Stone rewards were even higher. No wonder.

This made Su Qing even more puzzled. Why would that Treasure Tower Shopkeeper give up such income, such a good opportunity?

He was even willing to give Su Qing a Tier Two Spirit Fruit. This made Su Qing even more curious.

"Lord Ye, would you like me to find a Desire Demon for you to... relieve some stress?" Xu De’s expression grew shifty, and he looked a bit sleazy.

Su Qing gave a helpless smile. "You guys go ahead and find your Desire Demons."

"I’m not really interested. Unless you’re talking about one of those so-called Pure Desire Demons, then I might be a little curious."

"So my Lord prefers them fresh! There probably aren’t any left here at the fortress. You’d have to go to the Mortal Realm for that."

"Go, go. Just go relax on your own." Su Qing smiled helplessly and waved his hand, dismissing him.
