Why did my father insist on sending me to the clan school? I was so happy at home. Ever since I came here, it’s nothing but cultivation, cultivation. No freedom at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The psychological pressure is the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t even know why we have to come to the clan school,” Su Jin said, equally puzzled. “If I cultivated at home, I wouldn’t need nearly so many spirit stones. Mother says tuition at the clan school costs a thousand spirit stones per person every year. It’s too expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her alone, six years of clan school would cost six thousand spirit stones in tuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suspected the money came from her grandfather, since her parents certainly didn’t have that many spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grandfather was actually the eldest uncle in the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two… cut it out,” Su Wuji said, exasperated. “You’re already in the clan school—what’s the point of complaining now? Do you actually want to drop out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both shook their heads in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t want to get beaten to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Cheng arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng clearly had dark circles under his eyes. Everyone stared at him curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened to you? Up all night?” Su Wuji asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t heard? The clan school is distributing first-rank superior Spirit Gathering Arrays,” Su Cheng said. “My aunt told me last night—I was so excited I barely slept.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just heard this morning. How did your aunt find out so early?” Su Wuji asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My aunt has a close friend who’s an instructor at the clan school,” Su Cheng said. “I heard the first-rank superior Spirit Gathering Arrays will be distributed today. Are you planning to use yours in the classroom or at home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Definitely at home,” Su Wuji said, as if it were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the classroom,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the classroom,” Su Yunhu also said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why are you two putting the Spirit Gathering Array in the classroom? It’s far more efficient to use it at home,” Su Wuji said, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The spiritual energy around my house is too thin. If I bring the array home, it’ll drain spirit stones too fast,” Su Jin thought. My niece will probably set up one at home too—then there won’t be enough spiritual energy to go around, even if we use spirit stones to power it. It’d be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to use it in the classroom. If spiritual energy runs low, won’t the school find a way to fix it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu nodded. “The spiritual energy here is much denser. I’ll just use mine in the classroom. At home, I want to relax—I don’t want to cultivate all day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I plan to take mine home,” Su Cheng said. “My aunt told me to use it at home—it’s more effective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m taking mine home too,” Su Wuji said. “My cultivation speed in Wood Class is decent, but other classes have strong ones. I’m aiming for top rank in the year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re awesome,” Su Jin said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strong,” Su Yunhu added bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go for it, Wuji!” Su Cheng gave him an encouraging fist pump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just need to keep up with the normal pace,” Su Jin had never set her sights high to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice—others cultivated one scripture; she cultivated two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all need to step up,” Su Wuji said. “Let’s aim for all of us to make the top ten in the year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three immediately shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no intention of fighting for the top ten. One reason was their mediocre talent, but mostly they didn’t want to burn through spirit stones just to climb the rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng planned to supplement with a Body Refinement technique—he had no interest in competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu genuinely didn’t want to push himself—he only needed to keep pace with Su Wuji and the others. As long as he kept up, he’d stay in the top tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin didn’t even need to say it—she felt she had neither the time nor the energy to compete for the top ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve all fallen into decay,” Su Wuji ranted. “It’s only the start of the term—how can you be so defeatist already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and the other three simply remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi arrived late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried a large wooden crate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, she noticed several students with tear-streaked faces; two had eyes swollen like ripe peaches. One she remembered was Su Chengyue—the girl who’d taken her elixir and still needed to heal her cracked meridians. The other girl, she thought, was called Su Xin. She was beautiful, the prettiest girl in the class, but also the worst cultivator—still hadn’t drawn her first thread of magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such talent, she’d likely be expelled by year’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi stood on the podium and dropped the bomb. “Many of you have probably heard—I’ve brought four first-rank superior Spirit Gathering Arrays. Su Wuji, come forward and distribute the arrays to your group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Liu, can we get first-rank inferior Spirit Gathering Arrays instead?” Su Jin immediately stood up and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi shook her head. “The worst array the clan school provides is first-rank superior. First-rank inferior doesn’t exist. Use it if you want, or just watch others use theirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the first-rank superior Spirit Gathering Arrays issued to you have five adjustable tiers. Tier one uses one spirit stone for three days and gathers spiritual energy equivalent to a first-rank inferior array. Tier two matches a first-rank middle array. Tier three matches a first-rank superior array. Tier four matches a first-rank supreme array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier five matches a second-rank inferior array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the better the gathering effect, the more spirit stones it consumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing which tier to use is up to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, how much your cultivation base improves is entirely your own responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just don’t regret it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and the other three: If you put it that way, we have no choice but to push ourselves to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu: Damn. Another day of being pushed into frantic cultivation by Master Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively wanted to say something—but dared not open his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid of getting beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji obediently opened the wooden crate and took out four cloth bags, each containing ten array discs. Each bag also came with an instruction manual. As soon as he returned to his seat, he distributed the array discs to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next year at this time, the Hongtong Secret Realm will open. Students who’ve broken through to Qi Refining Level One must cultivate hard and aim to reach Level Three within the year—only then will you have the strength to enter the Hongtong Secret Realm. Those who haven’t broken through Level One yet—you need to work even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you’ll fall further behind the students who’ve already broken through.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4d2407cd2b72cdd4f99662cd4dd4ac09518149e910bda69aed31ddeaaf620692","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-20","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-18",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
