Chapter 117: Aunt and Niece Chat

Su Jin heard this and felt even more speechless. She reasoned that since she had never actually consumed the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk, it was probably best not to mention it for now.

Letting everyone think she passed solely because of the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk was no problem at all.

After all, the effects of the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk were common knowledge to the world.

"Su Jin, you obtained the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk before?" Su Wuji asked in surprise.

"Mm-hmm. I heard I was the first in the entire first year to break through to the first layer of Refining Spirit, so the clan school rewarded me with twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk," Su Jin said.

"Why do you have twenty drops while I only have ten?" Su Wuji asked gloomily.

"Because you were the tenth in the entire year to break through to the first layer of Refining Spirit. After you, even if one broke through to the first layer of Refining Spirit, there were no more rewards," Liu Shi interjected.

Su Wuji: "..." Well, he had still been lucky enough to take tenth place.

"Alright, take your Silver Marrow Spirit Milk and go home," Liu Shi said after distributing the items, then let them leave.

The three of them cheerfully bid farewell to Liu Shi.

When Su Jin returned home, only her sister-in-law and Su Xiaohe were left there.

Su Xiaohe was a gluttonous baby who wanted to taste everything she saw.

When Su Jin arrived home, Su Xiaohe had just taken a bite of chili powder and was crying loudly from the spiciness. Her sister-in-law had coaxed her for quite a while until the crying subsided, but as soon as she saw Su Jin return, she started crying again with a grievous expression.

Su Jin hurried over to help her sister-in-law coax the child.

It was hard work getting Su Xiaohe to stop crying, but as soon as Su Hua and Su Jian returned together, she started crying loudly again.

Anyway, since she had been made to cry by the spice, she had to make sure all the family members knew how aggrieved she was.

Her sister-in-law was almost driven to laugh by anger at this child.

Back when she raised Su Hua, Su Hua had been so well-behaved; absolutely nothing like this little girl who could cause such trouble.

If she had known the second child would turn out to be such a kid, she wouldn't have wanted to give birth at all.

Su Jian and Su Hua were also rendered completely speechless by her crying.

After dinner, Sister Yun said nothing and simply handed Su Xiaohe over to her husband.

She wanted to go out for a stroll to clear her mind. If she had to take care of Su Xiaohe any longer, she would be unable to restrain her motherly primordial fury and would beat the little girl's bottom until it was utterly destroyed.

She didn't want to deal with this broken child at all anymore.

Su Jian: "Do I want to deal with her?"

But since his wife had thrown her at him, what could he do?

Just then Su Hanlin returned, so he simply carried the child to chat with Su Hanlin, taking along a portion of dinner for him as well.

Su Hua, however, followed Su Jin to her room.

"Auntie, I heard your first year had a small exam today. How did you do?"

"Here, look for yourself." Su Jin took the report card out of her schoolbag and handed it to Su Hua.

Su Hua took one look and immediately cried out in shock. "Auntie, you are first in the year! You are first in the year!"

"It's nothing, just a small exam." Although Su Jin felt a little proud, she wasn't overly happy. After all, it was just a small exam result!

"Auntie, I also did quite well in this small exam. Relying on my cultivation at the second layer of Body Refining, I have already ranked in the top ten of my class," Su Hua said.

It was all thanks to the Earth Origin Blueberry Dew given by Auntie.

That allowed her to break through consecutively and earn herself an extra hundred points.

"When you break through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, hurry up and start cultivating the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique as well. Cultivating all three methods simultaneously will make your cultivation speed much faster," Su Jin said.

"Alright, wait until I break through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining first. I'm close too; give me another two or three months and that will be enough for me to break through," Su Hua said confidently.

"That's good. By the way, what level are the top three in your class?" Su Jin asked again.

"What level?" Su Hua didn't understand.

"I mean, how many layers have they cultivated their Cultivation Techniques to?"

"Oh, that. The first place in our class has Qi Refining at the fifth layer, Body Refining at the fourth layer, and Refining Spirit at the second layer," Su Hua said. "The first place in our class is ranked fifth in the entire year."

"Refining Spirit at the second layer is enough to rank in the top five of the year?" Su Jin was surprised.

"Of course. How difficult is the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique to cultivate? In our entire third year, there is only one person who has broken through to the third layer of the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique, and that is the top student of our third year. The Principal, to commend her for breaking through the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique so quickly, even rewarded her with a bottle containing twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk."

Su Jin: "..."

"Auntie, which layer have you cultivated your Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique to? Have you broken through to the first layer of Refining Spirit? If you haven't broken through, it doesn't matter; strive to break through one layer this year, and the second layer next year. Anyway, you still have three years. As long as you can break through to the third layer of Refining Spirit before the third year, I estimate you should still be able to secure the position of first in the year."

"Xiao Hua, I am already at the third layer of Refining Spirit now." Su Jin thought her cultivation level probably couldn't be hidden anyway, so she might as well tell Xiao Hua now to avoid her getting angry after hearing about her cultivation level from others.

Su Hua was instantly dumbfounded!!

"Auntie, say that again. How many layers have you broken through in the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique?"

"Three layers."

"Auntie, you have only been cultivating for three months. You have already cultivated the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique to the third layer?" Su Hua felt this was too incredible. "Your cultivation speed is simply inhuman, Auntie."

She was broken; she was truly broken.

"Auntie, do you know? In our clan school, the first-place student of the sixth year has only cultivated the Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique to the fifth layer."

That student is already praised daily by the instructors as a genius once in a hundred years! They say things like he will definitely secure a place in the Sect in the future! Or that he will be a future powerful Peak Master or Hall Master!

All sorts of praise are thrown at him.

That person clearly doesn't look very remarkable, with a small nose, small slits for eyes, single eyelids, and thin lips, yet he is narcissistic enough to think he is a great handsome man.

He thinks all the girls in the clan, regardless of age, must like him.

He even deliberately flirts with those beautiful senior female students, making those senior students endlessly annoyed.

Recently, he has even reached out to the most beautiful girl in our third year.

The boys in our third year don't know how annoyed they are with him."

Su Hua said with a tone of disgust.

"But Auntie, you reached the third layer of Refining Spirit in just three months. Won't you reach the fifth layer of Refining Spirit within a year? I see how he will continue to show off then!!" Su Hua said happily again, even adding a tone of schadenfreude.

With her aunt's cultivation speed, she would surely trample that person underfoot.

"Aunt, how exactly did you manage to cultivate the Soul-Refining Cultivation Technique to the third layer so quickly?" Su Hua asked curiously.

"I don't know either. I cultivated, then broke through; after a while, I broke through again." Su Jin also felt her talent for Soul-Refining seemed a bit too good?

Hearing this, Su Hua was once again left staring in dumbfounded shock.

"Aunt, could it be that you are a once-in-a-millennium genius of Soul-Refining?" Su Hua asked in astonishment.

Su Jin felt utterly helpless upon hearing this and retorted directly: "Why don't you say I'm a once-in-ten-thousand-years super genius?"
