Chapter 486: Chapter 484: Xing Zhu Searches for a Root, Su Qing Intends to Create a Technique

’She’s already absorbed so much Power of the Stars from my body.’

’Isn’t it time to collect some interest?’

Su Qing stroked his chin, his thoughts already focused on Xing Zhu.

Xing Zhu had absorbed so much of Su Qing’s Power of the Stars.

’Isn’t it about time she paid something back?’

However, Su Qing first went to the exchange.

He was, of course, planning to buy some food.

He also stopped by the place where the Ran Cat lived.

"Long time no see, Su Qing."

"Lady Manla, I didn’t expect you to still be in the Taichu Daoist Palace."

"I didn’t see you during the recent turmoil in the Taichu Daoist Palace."

Su Qing said with a smile, though his words carried an undeniable hint of blame.

Of course, Su Qing spoke gently, without any real accusatory tone.

Lady Manla was currently in her cat form, lying on the counter with her tail swaying gently.

"What unfortunate timing. I was out seeking a certain treasure. The turmoil in the Taichu Daoist Palace was indeed unexpected."

"I heard you were the one who quelled the disturbance?"

"No."

Su Qing denied it at once.

He wouldn’t claim that he had quelled the disturbance.

The true source had been the two Thirteenth Realm existences.

Not Su Qing.

"You didn’t come here just to catch up, did you, little one?" Lady Manla said in a languid tone.

"Yes. I’d like to purchase the method for making the books you have here."

"Is it for sale?" Su Qing wanted this production technique.

’If I have to research it myself, it’ll probably take quite a while.’

So, buying it was more cost-effective.

"Of course. It’s just a method for recording and presenting information. It’s not worth many Taichu Coins."

"If you want to buy it, it’s yours for 100,000 Taichu Coins."

"Thank you. Let’s make the trade."

Su Qing nodded. He wanted to refine another Palm of Time Dao Artifact, this time in the form of a book. Perhaps it would have a different effect.

Soon, Su Qing got what he wanted.

"Su Qing."

Just as the transaction was complete and Su Qing was about to depart,

Manla called out to him.

Su Qing looked over, puzzled.

"Lady Manla, is there something else?"

"Do you want a pet? I have a Ran Cat here who wants to follow you."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing chuckled and shook his head. He paused to think for a moment, then his gaze firmed and he shook his head again.

"I’d better not. I don’t lack for followers, Lady Manla."

"Besides, following me isn’t necessarily a good thing."

After Su Qing finished speaking, a breeze carrying the scent of forest wood and leaves blew past.

And Su Qing vanished from the Ran Cat’s territory.

After buying some meat,

Su Qing returned to his own world.

He prepared a delicious meal.

He brought out a jar of wine. This time, Su Qing didn’t synthesize any new Joy Wine.

The White Cloak on his body stirred slightly.

In an instant,

Su Qing dragged the little girl, Xing Zhu, into the Void Realm and back out again.

"Ngh?"

Dragged along by Su Qing, Xing Zhu naturally felt the lack of Power of the Stars around her, along with a very strange sensation.

She groggily opened her eyes, only to see Su Qing holding her by the neck with one hand.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!"

Xing Zhu shouted, trying to burrow back into Su Qing’s Immortal Star Body.

But Su Qing just transferred her to the Void Realm and back again.

In a daze, Xing Zhu stood frozen on the spot.

’What just happened?’

’How did I end up back in his hands again?’

"Little girl, you’ve absorbed so much of my Power of the Stars. Isn’t it about time you did something for me?"

Su Qing chuckled.

In Xing Zhu’s eyes, his smile was a little terrifying.

"I won’t! I’m not human!"

"You can’t!"

"..." Su Qing’s smile vanished instantly.

’What is this girl thinking?’

’Am I that kind of person?’

He smacked her on the head.

"What in the world is going on in that head of yours!"

"Go find me a withered root from the Star Sea Tree, and I’ll let you continue absorbing the Power of the Stars. Otherwise, you’re on your own."

"Don’t come to me anymore."

Su Qing wasn’t going to spoil her. He had been "raising" her for so long; it was only right to get some compensation.

Otherwise, all that Power of the Stars would have been for nothing.

"Why should I help you just because you say so?"

Unconvinced, Xing Zhu once again broke free from Su Qing’s grasp, trying to dive back into his body.

A swap with the Void Realm.

Xing Zhu only felt a moment of disorientation before she found herself in Su Qing’s hand once more.

She was now utterly baffled, her face a mask of disbelief. She pouted angrily. "What kind of trick is this? I have the protection of the Star Sea."

"How can you still catch me?!"

"Don’t worry about how. Are you going to do it or not? I want a withered root from the Star Sea Tree. Get it for me, and you can absorb the Power of the Stars."

"Time is of the essence. I need it now, which doesn’t mean I’ll still need it later."

Su Qing released his grip on Xing Zhu’s neck. He took a sip of Seven Immortals Brew, then helped himself to some meat and vegetables.

Xing Zhu sulked. ’How could this be?’

’How did Su Qing suddenly come up with a way to deal with the Star Race?’

Originally, Xing Zhu had planned to live happily as a parasite.

She never expected Su Qing to just yank her out.

If she wanted to absorb such a rich Power of the Stars, only the Star Sea Tree or Su Qing’s body would do.

The crucial point was that most of the Power of the Stars from the Star Sea Tree

was inaccessible to Xing Zhu.

But the Power of the Stars on Su Qing was different.

It was incredibly dense, practically infinite, and stable.

She had no idea how this freak managed it.

Xing Zhu gritted her teeth and vanished.

Only she knew what she was off to do.

In any case, what Su Qing wanted was the root of the Star Sea Tree. If it could help him break through to the Dao Fruit Realm smoothly,

using an external object was acceptable.

As long as it didn’t damage his foundation,

Su Qing basically wouldn’t mind.

"Hmm, this Bael Earth Dragon Meat is really good. It has a better texture than Spirit Chicken Meat."

Su Qing nodded in satisfaction.

At his current level, if he didn’t break through, his rate of progress would be relatively slow.

It was better to break through and master the essence, rather than just increasing his control over external phenomena.

’The journey from the Taichu Daoist Palace to the Star Sea Tree is probably quite long. As a Daoist Cultivator, Xing Zhu’s speed is slow.’

’It’ll probably take a long time. I’ll wait half a year.’

’If she’s not back by then, I’ll just break through on my own.’

He could have the withered root of the Star Sea Tree, or he could do without it.

After all, the Great Dao Cultivation Method gave Su Qing extremely detailed instructions for his breakthrough.

So Su Qing was not afraid.

Even if the breakthrough failed, he wouldn’t be scared in the slightest.

This was the confidence that came from possessing the Synthesizer.

A Crystal Ball appeared in Su Qing’s hand.

Inside was the method for making those books.

Why did Su Qing want this method?

Magic. Su Qing wanted to create Magic.

Before he actually created it, it was all just empty talk.

He wanted to create a powerful Divine Technique.

Of course, he would also need the Synthesizer to help him perfect it.

After absorbing the book-making method,

Su Qing sank into a Unity State.

His mind grew increasingly active.

The power throughout his body also became active.

The most crucial were the Power of Destiny and the power of Devouring.

Su Qing’s main goal was to prevent certain powerful experts from surviving a fight by leaving behind a Split Soul or a clone.

Su Qing wanted to attack from the angle of destiny, ensuring that a blow against one target would be a blow against all beings connected to it by fate.

This was very difficult.

But Su Qing had to do it.

He still had an enemy, one who controlled destiny. Only if Su Qing’s methods were superior to his opponent’s could he crush them and ensure their death.

He couldn’t give the enemy any chance to survive.

This was of the utmost importance.

If he could synthesize a good Standardization in the end, that would be even better.
