Impressive power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small crossbow in Su Wuji’s hand clearly looked like a child’s toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was made extremely miniature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfectly suited for Su Wuji’s age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Su Wuji grows a few years older, this trinket will be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, parents making these for their kids is a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This crossbow was bought for me by my grandfather,” Su Wuji said with casual arrogance. “I told him not to, but he insisted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinshu Pavilion’s gear is indeed high-quality, but it’s also expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tiny crossbow, paired with twenty metal bolts, costs at least a thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My grandfather bought me five of these crossbows and their bolts. Do you need to borrow one? I can lend it to you—return it tomorrow morning after the enemies quiet down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noji, I need one set,” Su Cheng said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you, Su Jin?” Su Wuji asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have this,” Su Jin said, pulling a white bone bow from her storage ring. Also miniature, perfectly proportioned to her frame. The two ends of the bow were carved with tiny whale figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that the Whalebone Bow?” Su Wuji and Su Cheng both exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin nodded, then pulled a small pouch from her waist—inside were over a hundred miniature bone-carved arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your grandfather really is generous,” Su Wuji sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, his own fine crossbow looked elegant and had decent killing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Jin’s Whalebone Bow was a true treasure. And a cultivable one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, while the Whalebone Bow had clear advantages, its flaws were equally stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It relied entirely on bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make it grow, you must constantly feed it special bones—ordinary bones won’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, its bone-carved arrows are consumed rapidly—one use, then discarded. Unlike my metal bolts, which I can recover tomorrow morning and reuse. So fine artifacts suit me just fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji thought: Buying a large supply of bone-carved arrows isn’t cheap either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite its many flaws, a treasure is still a treasure. This must have been crafted by a master alchemist from the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a thing would be valuable even in the hands of a Purple Mansion cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji never imagined Su Jin’s grandfather would be so generous—giving his granddaughter a miniature treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just received it,” Su Jin said. “Grandfather told me to practice my archery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d previously thought that since the Martial Class students were so strong, she needed to gather some techniques, or she’d be helpless during the annual grade-wide tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d planned to cultivate two more martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never expected her grandfather to gift her a full set of Whalebone Bow and arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this bow and arrows, even if her future opponents were from the Martial Class, she’d have some real combat cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s approaching position seven,” Su Cheng said, having been monitoring the alert array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin didn’t hesitate—she slipped out silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. Another object fell from the air and slammed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them kept vigil steadily, alternating their crossbows and arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held out until the middle of the night, neutralizing five or six disturbances, until the entire courtyard finally fell quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during that time, sounds of cultivator battles had echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been piercing screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been a baby’s cry, abruptly cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply listening made the situation feel grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin worried about her sister-in-law and Xiaohe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enduring until dawn, before Su Jin could rush to check on her sister-in-law and Xiaohe, they saw Liu Shi approaching—exhausted, with a faint air of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s your group? Anyone injured? One of our students was careless last night—fell asleep while on watch duty and got bitten by a venomous snake. Now our class only has twenty-four students left,” Liu Shi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and the other two stared in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes asked: Is there really someone that careless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi nodded heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: If losses continue like this, her Wood Class might lose more than half its students in under three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one here was injured. We kept watch over the alert array all night. After the disturbances started, we eliminated five or six things that triggered it. Would you like to take a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wuji, come with me,” Liu Shi said. She’d come partly to assess the combat effectiveness of Su Wuji’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the sudden attack last night was both a crisis and a trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those unfit to be cultivators would be weeded out; the rest would become the family’s future elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon Su Wuji returned: “Liu Shi took away what we killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly did we kill?” Su Cheng asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two venomous snakes, two owls, and one large black-furred rat. Five total,” Su Wuji said. “Our position was near the courtyard’s center, not the main battlefield. I heard from Liu Shi that the outer perimeter—where the third-year students were stationed—was the primary target last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They were all third-year students. I heard five died and over seventy were injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and Su Cheng both widened their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who attacked us last night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ruthless could they be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They killed five students outright and injured over seventy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin’s heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the outer perimeter was guarded by third-year students, how was her niece Xiao Hua doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My niece is a third-year student. I need to find out her condition,” Su Jin said immediately. “Can you two hold the line? I’ll be back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead,” Su Wuji waved dismissively. “We don’t need you worrying about this. My grandfather has only me as his surviving descendant—I have no one else to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the clan school, he had no relatives to search for.\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e1eff71bfb0bfdb1a16d52b39acdf3a7a3d23f174788e4eb8fdb613140a49683","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-130","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-128",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
