I disturbed your cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the classroom, a place for everyone to cultivate. Next time you come in and see someone cultivating, don’t shout,” Su Cheng reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only because the three of us are already familiar with our cultivation techniques; otherwise, being suddenly startled might have caused our magic power to go awry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, I understand. I’ll be careful from now on,” Su Yunhu hurriedly apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji simply waved at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gesturing for him to sit at the small table beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the small table before Su Wuji were already arranged five or six plates of various foods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, eat something. Master Liu hasn’t come by these past few days, and we don’t know how things are going on their side. Since you’re here, tell us about it,” Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu was indeed hungry and didn’t bother with politeness—he sat down and started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he ate, he began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On our side, everyone gets extremely tense during afternoon cultivation sessions. We wish we could split every minute into eight parts. Everyone’s pushing hard to break through Qi Refining Level One and catch up with you,” Su Yunhu said, gazing at Su Wuji and the other three with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But catching up with you is really hard,” Su Yunhu said, and proceeded to recount his cultivation experiences over the past few days to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days—he spent a full five days just to catch up and break through to Qi Refining Level One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, on the first day he had gathered five strands of magic power, and he thought he’d surely break through on the second day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next morning, his five strands had shrunk to three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was terrified and rushed to ask his father, only to learn that newly formed magic power gets continuously consumed by existing magic power—until the total reaches the threshold for Qi Refining Level Two, at which point it stops devouring the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, his seven strands dropped to four. On the fourth day, nine strands dropped to five. Finally, on the fifth day, he managed to gather ten strands and ascended to Qi Refining Level One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your cultivation speed seems fast, but your foundation is far too shaky,” Su Wuji said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is my foundation shaky?” Su Yunhu set down his snack, frowning at Su Wuji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lose too much magic power every day—that’s a sign your foundation is unstable,” Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Su Yunhu looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me, for example—I can cultivate four strands daily. Even though some of my newly formed magic power gets absorbed by older strands, I lose at most one strand per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin is the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng initially lost two strands daily, but lately he’s learned to be careful—he refines each strand repeatedly before forming it, so now he only loses one strand per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You lose so many strands every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because you rush when forming magic power, trying to go too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes your magic power float and impure, so you lose so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Su Yunhu doubted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think about it—if your magic power were pure and dense, the one strand you lose daily would simply be absorbed by your other strands. That’s not really a loss—it’s normal consumption. After all, your Qi Refining Level One magic power must eventually be refined into Level Two, right?” Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if your magic power is floaty, impure, and unrefined, when other strands absorb it, half of it may collapse before being fully absorbed. The collapsed magic power turns into spiritual energy and leaks out of your body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that just wasting the magic power you painstakingly cultivated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You work for nothing, and your cultivation speed slows down,” Su Wuji explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that really how it works?” Su Yunhu had clearly never heard this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t believe me? Observe for yourself,” Su Wuji said. “I have a cousin who was just like you—always rushing, trying to go fast. Eventually, his newly formed magic power got absorbed and collapsed by the stronger strands around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he’d form more, and it’d collapse again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand why his cultivation had stalled for so long, so he came to ask my grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grandfather had him sit in front of me and cultivate, and he immediately found the cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed when forming magic power, cutting corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His magic power was loose and floaty, so even a slight pull from other strands caused it to collapse. If the magic power keeps collapsing, how can his cultivation advance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu instantly understood where his problem lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a chill—“I get it now. Thank you. I’ll refine my magic power properly from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing—we’re classmates. When we see you going down the wrong path, we should remind you. Just spend a little extra time circulating and polishing the magic power inside your body when you form it,” Su Wuji said, slipping into his usual self-congratulatory tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng: “...” You just love giving advice—you weren’t satisfied pointing at me, now you want to correct everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin: “...” You just want to show off how much you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many strands of magic power can you each form daily?” Su Yunhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too. Only Su Wuji can form four,” Su Cheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Su Wuji is the strongest among you?” Su Yunhu exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just realized? That’s right—I’m the strongest,” Su Wuji grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and Su Cheng nodded half-heartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely. Correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji smiled smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Wuji, you’re amazing,” Su Yunhu said sincerely, thinking: This guy is the strongest in the whole class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides you, who else nears a breakthrough to Qi Refining Level One?” Su Wuji asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two others—they’re just slightly behind me and might break through tomorrow,” Su Yunhu said. “One’s Su Linyuan, the other’s Yang Guan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yang Guan? The one from the in-law family?” Su Wuji asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say his sister married into the Su family and got him recommended into the clan school,” Su Yunhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top six in class—that’s enough to enter the sect as an outer disciple,” Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter the sect as an outer disciple?” Su Yunhu looked astonished. “Isn’t it true that sects always take new disciples as laborers first?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6fd18f2234dbb47e6cc6235dba1dbf1bfd5e1cbdbb960044179b525a2413782e","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-12","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-10",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
