Chapter 118

"Little Aunt, perhaps you truly are a once-in-ten-thousand-years super genius. If you really are, then I've just hugged onto our family's strongest golden thigh. My cultivation path from now on will surely be smooth sailing." Su Hua imagined blissfully.

"Stop dreaming. Your little aunt is just a first-grade elementary student with slightly above-average talent.

I only have talent in cultivating the Spirit-Refining Cultivation Technique. The clan school has geniuses as numerous as carp crossing the river. Being first in a small exam is nothing to mention.

Do not let my results influence you.

For us cultivators, the path to the Dao has always been one step at a time; only by deeply understanding oneself and tempering oneself can one go further." Su Jin copied the words her mother often said to her and used them on Su Hua.

Su Hua: "..."

Moreover, Su Jin thought to herself that clearly she cultivated her Three Methods simultaneously, and her cultivation speed was clearly getting faster and faster.

Yet Su Wuji could still make a slight sprint and break through to the third layer of Qi Condensation before her!

Immediately, any feeling of pride vanished.

It was just a small exam!

Who knows, at the next small exam, I might have to give up this number-one spot in the grade.

Hearing this, Su Hua could only rein in her excitement, which was about to make her fly. "Little Aunt, which Spirit-Refining Cultivation Technique do you cultivate? Once I break through to the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, I also plan to cultivate the same Spirit-Refining Cultivation Technique as you.

After all, since you have cultivated it, you surely know the difficulties. As long as you explain them to me, I can quickly enter the door."

Su Hua said happily again.

"That can be done. I cultivate the Great Expansion Spirit-Refining Art. It is said to be difficult to cultivate, but I did not feel that." Su Jin frowned slightly. "You can try it; if you feel you truly cannot understand it, then change the Cultivation Technique."

Su Hua nodded upon hearing this.

"Then Little Aunt, I will not disturb your cultivation. I will go back to cultivate first."

"Good."

After seeing Su Hua off, Su Jin did not intend to practice spells. She took out the "Lin Linghua Spirit Brew Notebook" left by her mother from a small bedside drawer.

Then she silently opened it.

Until she turned to one page within.

It recorded the preparation method for a special spirit liquid, Mu Hun Ye. The main ingredients were Wood Essence Qi and Silver Marrow Spirit Milk, plus five other auxiliary ingredients, which could be used to prepare Mu Hun Ye.

On this notebook left by her mother, a total of eighty-five spirit liquid and spirit dew preparation methods were recorded.

All were formulas her mother had learned and improved over the years.

Su Jin had never thought to memorize it by heart before, but now she had this idea. Because she possessed the ability to remember everything she saw at a glance, Su Jin carefully memorized all the formulas into her mind, then put the book directly into a wooden box and sent it to Little Wu Tian. She let Jin Tong Mu help her preserve it.

After finishing these matters, Su Jin decided to sleep and dream of her big blue star.

The big star was getting closer and closer to her.

Early the next morning, Su Hua woke up late, so Su Jin left first.

As she was walking toward the clan school, she saw something seem to move within the tall grass on both sides of the street.

Su Jin hesitated slightly, then walked toward the swaying grass.

The result was that as soon as she walked in there, she saw an eight or nine-year-old boy lying in the tall grass.

He seemed unable to move. The only thing he could move was a small hand.

He was using that small hand to shake the tall grass.

Was this a plea for help?

Su Jin saw that the other party's eyes seemed to hold a desperate longing for aid.

She hurried over and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong? Is there anything you need my help with?"

That child seemed very happy, as if he had seen a straw of salvation, yet he could not move his mouth, and even blinking was extremely difficult.

How could they communicate?

The child seemed to have something he wanted to say, but his lips merely trembled, and no sound was uttered.

He seemed anxious, his eyes seeming to beg Su Jin to come closer.

Su Jin unconsciously walked to his front and even bent down toward his face.

Just as her small face got closer and closer to the little boy, a black, finger-thick flesh hole suddenly appeared in the center of the boy's forehead.

A beam of white light suddenly broke free from the flesh hole and rushed toward Su Jin.

Just as that thing approached Su Jin to within less than one foot, whoosh, a flash of Jin Guang sliced directly through the white light.

The white light directly plopped to the ground, turning from a white caterpillar into a caterpillar corpse cut into two halves by something moving at extreme speed.

That cut was exceptionally smooth and neat.

The caterpillar was strangely and forcibly perfectly split into left and right halves. Cut from head to foot, it was so symmetrical.

And that little boy died the moment the white light broke free from his body.

His complexion quickly changed from ruddy to deathly pale, looking like a corpse that had been dead for some time.

Su Jin was so frightened that she stepped back several times in succession.

Then she quickly used a Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman to send messages to Liu Shi and her own eldest brother.

"Busatam, was it you who just saved me? Thank you so much. If not for you, I would have been done for."

"No thanks needed. Guarding the Ancestor is Busatam's duty." Now Little Bu understood that to live a good life, he had to listen to the Ancestor.

So now it had also learned to respond.

Su Jin touched the thin gold bracelet on her hand, looking as if she was still shaken from the shock.

That was truly too thrilling just now; that thing almost drilled into her brain. As a child, what would happen if that caterpillar drilled into her brain? She didn't need to think to know.

It would surely eat her brain.

"What happened?" Although the Su family was farther from here, Su Jian still arrived together with Liu Shi.

As soon as Su Jin saw them, she hurriedly beckoned them to look at that dead little boy and the white caterpillar beside the boy's head.

"I noticed the grass here was moving, seeming somewhat unusual, so I walked over to check. I saw that little boy lying in the grass, unable to move, seemingly only able to move one hand slightly. He used his hand to shake the tall grass to attract my attention.

I walked past him; he seemed to want to say something, but his mouth wouldn't move, and he appeared very anxious.

I moved close to his face, wanting to listen carefully to what he was saying.

Just then, a small hole burst open right in the center of his forehead. I saw a streak of Bai Guang crawl out from inside and charge straight toward the center of my forehead.

I was terrified to death at that moment, but fortunately my grandfather had given me an amulet. That amulet severed the streak of Bai Guang.

Only then did I see a white caterpillar fall out from within the Bai Guang. It was dead."

Su Jin looked as if she had been frightened.

Su Jian hurried over and picked Su Jin up.

It was truly too hard on the little girl; she almost died.

"What should we do?" Su Jian asked Liu Shi.

Liu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Report it to the Patrol Office. This child dying here is far too suspicious; I just feel something is wrong."
