’This is incredible.’

After Su Qing finished reading the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill.

It was as if the contents had been carved directly into his mind; he didn’t even need to memorize them.

[Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill: Requires a Five Elements Spirit Root to practice. This is only a Gathering Spirit Level Cultivation Technique.]

’A Five Elements Spirit Root?’

’Do I even have one?’

Su Qing wanted to try cultivating.

After sitting down cross-legged, Su Qing attempted to circulate the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill.

It was said that once he circulated it, he should be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Qi and absorb it into his body.

...

...

An hour passed.

’I really don’t have one?’

Forget everything else, Su Qing couldn’t sense even a hint of Spiritual Qi. He started to think the Cultivation Technique was useless.

Besides, the Synthesizer panel didn’t show any Skill Level for reaching the Entry Level.

’Replicate the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill once.’

His mind went blank for a moment, but Su Qing felt nothing else.

’It doesn’t consume anything?’

’Replicate the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill eight times.’

After a brief daze, Su Qing recovered.

’Synthesize.’

Nine copies of the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill were placed on the Synthesizer.

[Synthesis Successful: First Layer Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill (Effect is double that of the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill)]

"..."

’Damn it, what’s the use of this!’

Su Qing was annoyed.

He wanted to trigger a Talent.

Even if it was Evolution, without a Five Elements Spirit Root, Su Qing couldn’t cultivate.

Su Qing swallowed a Great Replenishing Pill.

’Replicate the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill nine times.’

’Synthesize.’

...

Su Qing grew stubborn.

For an entire day.

Su Qing did nothing but synthesize.

He always stopped after synthesizing the First Layer Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

「Nightfall.」

Su Qing felt numb.

The Talent triggered an Evolution once.

[First Layer Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill (Evolution)]

Useless!

It still required a Five Elements Spirit Root.

Su Qing was frustrated. Sometimes his luck was incredibly good, but when it was bad, it was second to none.

He had synthesized it nearly a hundred times.

’I still can’t just pick one Talent,’ Su Qing frowned. Without a Five Elements Spirit Root, he couldn’t practice Immortal Cultivation at all.

If he wanted to remove the restriction, the Mutated Talent was his only hope.

With Mutated, anything was possible.

’I refuse to believe it!’

Su Qing continued synthesizing.

With his strength at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, enhanced by his Chaotic Life Body and the Life Grass Ring, Su Qing could replicate the Five Qi Nourishing Yuan Skill and synthesize it every few minutes.

’Synthesize.’

...

「In the dead of night.」

Su Qing synthesized again, feeling helpless.

An Immortal Cultivation Technique was right in front of him, yet Su Qing couldn’t even touch it. The feeling of being stifled was agonizing.

[Synthesis Successful...]

[Synthesis Successful...]

None of them triggered a Talent.

[Synthesis Successful. Demonization Talent Triggered.]

[Five Qi Demon Spirit Skill: Steals the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Qi and absorbs it into the body. Cultivating to Perfection grants the Five Qi Demon Spirit Body (Can only be cultivated to the Gathering Spirit Level).]

"???"

’Demonization triggered?’

’It seems like it doesn’t need a Spirit Root?’

Seeing the new Cultivation Technique from the synthesis, Su Qing was overjoyed.

’Extract.’

Su Qing didn’t even hesitate.

He extracted it immediately.

The Five Qi Demon Spirit Skill appeared in Su Qing’s mind.

’It really is a Demonization-type Cultivation Technique.’

’It can forcibly absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Qi while circulating the technique?’

’No, I have to synthesize it again.’

After sensing the Cultivation Technique in his mind, this was his first thought.

Synthesize.

If he could just trigger the Evolution Talent once, it would become something incredibly powerful.

’Replicate the Five Qi Demon Spirit Skill once.’

Su Qing felt a wave of dizziness and had to wait a full ten minutes before he recovered.

’It’s still bearable.’

Su Qing assessed his condition.

"A Demon Fiend has appeared!"

"A Demon Fiend has appeared!"

Hearing this, Su Qing put his current thoughts aside.

It was time to settle things.

Su Qing immediately ran outside.

He headed in the direction of the shouting.

He saw that the Demon Fiend had now run into a main room in the northwest section.

By the time Su Qing entered, many disciples were already dead.

’Is Wang Li going for something big this time?’

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a little better.

After seeing the Demon Fiend, he also saw the master from some branch of the Wang Family who had killed Wang Li’s mother.

At this moment, that master was lying in a pool of blood, and many of his wives and concubines were dead as well.

At the same time, the Demon Fiend was stained with a shade of red.

The blood on the ground flowed toward the Demon Fiend, a truly bizarre scene.

"Wang Li, it seems you want to settle things with me?"

Su Qing said quietly, "My surname is Su, my given name, Qing. My style name is Changqing."

"I hope this battle brings an end for one of us."

When Su Qing announced his name, the black mist of the Demon Fiend Wang Li was already spreading rapidly toward him.

"Hahaha, it’s only right that you hate me."

"But I feel hatred, too."

How could Su Qing not feel stifled being a slave? He hated his own weakness, hated how pathetic he had been back then.

The reason Su Qing had fled back then was also because of Wang Li’s relentless questioning.

During their confrontation back then, the Poison Pill in his hand was actually just a useless piece of junk he had synthesized.

"We’re both pitiful, aren’t we?"

Su Qing laughed heartily.

The qi and blood in his body surged like liquid mercury, causing the surrounding aura to grow warmer.

On this night of howling autumn winds.

Su Qing moved.

His full strength erupted. The Great Demon Fiend, Wang Li, couldn’t react at all before being sent flying by Su Qing’s punch.

Su Qing stomped his foot, and the green bricks on the ground cracked for ten feet.

He continued his assault in mid-air.

His fists, blazing with hot Yang Qi, relentlessly battered Wang Li’s body.

When Wang Li landed on the ground, she was brutally pummeled by Su Qing.

The black mist had already been scattered.

All that remained was Wang Li’s cold, soulless body, with wisps of Yin Qi flowing around it.

The tremendous sounds of the beating made the arriving Wang Family disciples too scared to enter the residence of the master of the seventh branch.

The reek of blood drifting through the air was impossible to conceal.

"Zhong Ping, why aren’t you going in to help?"

Steward Wang, who had just arrived, asked Wang Zhongping, who was standing outside the seventh branch’s residence.

"Steward Wang, why don’t you go in? Take a whiff of that smell, listen to that commotion."

Wang Zhongping said irritably.

He, Wang Zhongping, wasn’t an idiot. Going in under these circumstances would only cause trouble, and might even be a death sentence.

As Steward Wang got closer, he sniffed the air. There was the overwhelming stench of blood, mixed with the reek of urine.

The commotion inside was also exceptionally loud.

"That Su Qiren went inside?" Steward Wang asked.

"He went in. Someone just told me." Wang Zhongping nodded.

Su Qing’s movements were basically an open book to the Wang Family’s upper echelons, especially since he was living in the Wang Family estate.

"The master of the seventh branch is in there. If something happens to him..." Steward Wang sighed.

If Master Wang Qi met with disaster, then the Wang Family would face another major upheaval.

...

"I’m sorry."

BAM! BAM!

Su Qing said through gritted teeth, his fists a continuous blur.

On the ground, the severed limbs of the Demon Fiend Wang Li were scattered everywhere.

But the Yin Qi didn’t diminish in the slightest.

Damn it!

If only Su Qing had a way to deal with Yin Qi.

The Yang Qi from his Physique could, at best, only suppress her mist.

’This isn’t working!’

’Synthesize.’

Su Qing picked up the remains and started synthesizing them relentlessly.

[Synthesis Failed]

[Synthesis Failed]

...

He continued, right up until he used Wang Li’s head.
