If you are, then I’ve got the strongest golden thigh in our family wrapped around me—my cultivation path ahead will be smooth sailing.” Su Hua fantasized happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop dreaming. Your auntie is just a first-grade primary schoolkid with a slight bit of talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only have talent in cultivating the Spirit-Refining Art. In our clan school, geniuses are as numerous as fish crossing a river. I just got first place in one small exam—it’s nothing special.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let my results affect you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For cultivators, the path to the Dao has always been one step at a time—deeply understanding yourself and honing yourself is how you go further.” Su Jin repeated the words her mother often told her, using them on Su Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Su Jin remembered that she was cultivating three arts simultaneously, and her cultivation speed was clearly accelerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Su Wuji could still sprint ahead slightly and break through to Qi Refining Level Three before her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, any sense of pride vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just one small exam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows? Next time, I might lose the top rank in this grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua, hearing this, reluctantly tamped down her ecstatic excitement. “Auntie, what Spirit-Refining Art are you practicing? When I break through to Qi Refining Level Four, I plan to follow the same one as you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, you’ve practiced it—you know the difficulties. If you explain them to me, I can learn it quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua added cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine. I practice the Great Expansion Spirit Refining Art. They say it’s hard to cultivate, but I haven’t felt that.” Su Jin frowned slightly. “You can try it—if you find it utterly incomprehensible, switch to another art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then Auntie, I won’t disturb your cultivation anymore—I’ll go back and practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Su Hua off, Su Jin didn’t plan to practice any spells. She took out the book her mother had left her—The Rhododendron Spirit Brew Notebook—from a small drawer beside her bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she silently opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until she reached one particular page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recorded the method for preparing a special spiritual liquid called Wood Soul Liquid, whose main ingredients were Wood Essence and Silver Marrow Spirit Milk, plus five other auxiliary materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s notebook recorded a total of eighty-five methods for preparing spiritual liquids and spirit dew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were recipes she had learned and improved over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had never thought of memorizing them before, but now she did. Since she had perfect recall, she carefully committed every recipe to memory, then placed the book into a wooden box and sent it to Xiao Wu Tian, letting Jin Tong Wood preserve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing these tasks, Su Jin decided to sleep and return to her blue giant star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant star was drawing closer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Su Hua overslept, so Su Jin left first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked toward the clan school, she noticed movement in the tall grass beside the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, she walked toward the swaying grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she stepped inside, she saw an eight- or nine-year-old boy lying among the tall grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed unable to move—only one small hand could twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used that hand to shake the tall grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he asking for help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin saw the desperate plea in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried over and asked, “Little brother, what’s wrong? Do you need my help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child seemed overjoyed, as if seeing a lifeline—but he couldn’t speak, not even blink easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they communicate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child clearly wanted to say something, but his lips only trembled, producing no sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed frantic, his eyes pleading for Su Jin to come closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing it, Su Jin stepped right up to him and bent down toward his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as her face drew near the boy’s, a black, finger-thick hole suddenly appeared in the center of his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white light shot out of the hole and surged toward Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came within less than a foot of her, a flash of golden light sliced through the white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white light dropped to the ground, transforming from a white caterpillar into a corpse cleanly severed in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cut was unnaturally smooth and precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caterpillar was unnervingly perfectly split into left and right halves—from head to toe, perfectly symmetrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the white light left the boy’s body, he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His complexion rapidly shifted from rosy to deathly pale, like a corpse that had been dead for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin staggered backward several steps in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly used a Thousand-Li Transmission Talisman to send word to Liu Shi and her older brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bu Satan, you saved me just now, didn’t you? Thank you so much—if not for you, I’d be dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks needed. Protecting the Ancestor is Bu Satan’s duty.” Now that Xiao Bu understood, to live well, he must obey the Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had learned to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin touched the thin gold bracelet on her wrist, still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had been too close—had that thing drilled into her brain, she’d have been done for. A child like her, if a worm crawled into her skull—she didn’t need to imagine what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brain would be eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” Though Su Jia was farther away, Su Jian arrived with Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Su Jin saw them, she hurried them over to the dead boy and the white caterpillar beside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I noticed the grass moving strangely, so I came to investigate. I found the boy lying in the grass, unable to move—only one hand could twitch slightly. He shook the tall grass to get my attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I walked over to him. He seemed to want to say something, but his mouth wouldn’t move—he looked frantic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I leaned close to his face, trying to hear what he was saying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that moment, a small hole burst open in the center of his forehead. I saw a white light shoot out and race straight toward my forehead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was terrified—but luckily, my grandfather gave me a protective talisman. It cut through the white light.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s when I saw the white caterpillar fall out. It was dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked utterly terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jian immediately rushed over and picked her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor little girl—she’d almost been killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?” Su Jian asked Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi thought for a moment, then said, “Report it to the Police Inspector. This child’s death here is too suspicious—I feel something’s off.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d361ea01594e31e89841014cce3f33a91995551a1200569d2a24d61507c254d1","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-119","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-117",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
