Chapter 25: Teaching Su Hua to Use One's Mind for Two Things at Once

Sigh, Su Jin sighed silently in her heart; her future seemed arranged crystal clear by her grandfather.

She somewhat understood why her father was willing to lie flat.

Her grandfather didn't stay long and left very quickly.

Her eldest niece stood before her, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Su Jin looked at her.

"Auntie, can I learn to use my mind for two things at once? I also want to cultivate the Green Wood Longevity Technique while simultaneously cultivating another Technique.

But you know my talent isn't very impressive.

Normally, when I cultivate the Green Wood Longevity Technique, even if I squeeze out all my time to cultivate, the efficiency isn't very high. So if I cultivate a new Technique simultaneously, I fear it will delay my cultivation of the Green Wood Longevity Technique.

But if I can use my mind for two things at once, then I can certainly cultivate another one simultaneously.

Of course, if you feel I cannot learn it, then there's no need to teach me."

"I was able to learn it; how could you, my niece, be unable to? Come, come, let's go to my room; I'll teach you how to use your mind for two things at once." Su Jin grabbed her and was about to return to her room.

Liu Yunniang heard this and immediately stepped forward, intending to stop them.

But her husband grabbed her sleeve.

Only after the two young girls entered the room did Liu Yunniang lower her voice and say to her husband, "Using one's mind for two things at once isn't something just anyone can do. Our Su Hua is afraid she can't do it. She lacks that talent."

"Let Su Hua go learn. If she can't learn it, then that girl will give up. If you don't let her learn, she will inevitably have a knot in her heart, as if her parents don't trust her. We cannot accompany Su Hua for a lifetime; the road beneath her feet must be forged by her own hands." Su Jian said.

Liu Yunniang fell silent.

"Auntie, how do I learn to use my mind for two things at once?" As soon as she entered her aunt's room, Su Hua immediately asked.

She was somewhat impatient.

"Using one's mind for two things at once is actually just a small trick. Try dividing your thoughts in two; hold something in your left hand and something in your right hand simultaneously, holding two different things." Su Jin said.

"Then I'll try."

"Let's start with the book and pen on the desk." Su Jin said.

Su Hua immediately grabbed the book and the pen.

But after that, she couldn't do it.

Su Jin gave hints several times in a row.

Several times grabbing things, Su Hua felt her hands suddenly become uncooperative, making more and more mistakes the more she tried.

The more she tried, the more anxious she became.

"Is it that I don't have the talent to use my mind for two things at once?"

"You are too anxious."

"Like this, watch me."

Su Hua inexplicably obeyed and looked into her eyes.

A silver light flashed in the depths of Su Jin's eyes; an extremely subtle silver-gray faint glow shot directly from her eyes and entered the center of Su Hua's forehead.

After the faint glow entered the center of Su Hua's forehead, Su Jin's expression also became dazed for a moment.

Then it seemed to return to normal.

"Xiao Hua, don't be anxious. You can do it; didn't you succeed on your first try?" Su Jin, with a stern little face, taught her niece by imitating Master Liu's manner.

Su Hua looked into Su Jin's eyes, nodded seriously, and calmed down.

"I'll try again."

Next, Su Hua felt she had suddenly become enlightened.

Every time Su Jin prompted her to grab something, her thoughts could be divided in two, allowing her left and right hands to move simultaneously to grab the target object.

The two of them tested this five or six times afterward.

Su Hua perfectly grabbed every designated object.

"Xiao Hua, I feel you have already learned to use your mind for two things at once." Su Jin said.

"Mm, mm, I also feel I have learned it. I didn't expect using one's mind for two things at once to be so easy to learn. Once I find another Technique, I can cultivate two Techniques together." Su Hua said happily. "I actually wanted to cultivate another Technique simultaneously long ago.

Most of the classmates in my class have already cultivated another Technique simultaneously.

Only I am still struggling against the Green Wood Longevity Technique.

Sigh, it's also my own fault. Back then, I didn't lay a good foundation. As a result, I had to undergo Scattered Qi, Severe and re-cultivate, wasting a huge amount of time."

Su Hua sighed with grievance.

"Do you have any requirements for the Technique you wish to cultivate simultaneously? Do you want to cultivate a Spirit-Refining Technique, or do you want to cultivate a Body-Refining Technique?" Su Jin asked.

"Uh, I haven't thought it through yet." Su Hua's eyes looked rather lost.

"How about you copy the Snow Skin Jade Bone Technique that Grandpa brought me and take it back to cultivate? If you feel you don't like it, you can change it later." Su Jin suggested. Su Jin thought to herself, after all, fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields; Su Hua is, after all, my own eldest niece.

"That doesn't seem right; that is a Body-Refining Technique Great-Grandpa found for you." Su Hua hesitated.

"Aren't we one family? What's wrong with cultivating the same Technique?

Besides, the Technique Grandpa found should be quite good; if you ask Big Brother to find one, he might not necessarily find a better one.

Moreover, Techniques are very expensive. Since we have one we can use directly without spending money, why go out and buy one?

It's better to save Big Brother some money. What do you think, Xiao Hua?" Su Jin said.

Su Hua thought for a moment and immediately decided, "Okay, I will cultivate the Snow Skin Jade Bone Technique together with Auntie."

"Then take the Snow Skin Jade Bone Technique back and copy it first; once you finish copying, return the original to me."

"Okay."

After seeing Su Hua off, Su Jin didn't read the book for long before choosing to sleep.

In her dream, the Great Pang Xingchen still shone upon her; even when the Great Expansion Spirit-Refining Art automatically began to circulate, she didn't notice, enjoying a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, after washing and dressing, the energetic Su Jin went to the medicinal fields in the backyard again.

One hundred and ninety-nine little red ginsengs saw her and enthusiastically waved their small leaves, looking somewhat impatient.

Su Jin immediately took out silver needles and began to touch the seedlings, catching insects.

This morning, she caught six white thread hookworms.

Yesterday she caught five; these little insects are truly becoming more and more numerous. No wonder her father stopped planting red ginseng after just two years.

After catching the insects, she began to clear the newly grown weeds.

Having finished with the little red ginseng seedlings planted in the spirit field, she remembered the Blood Xue Chiluo again.

So she went to find it again.

As soon as Su Jin entered the main body of her own Little Wu Tian within the Sea of Souls, she felt it seemed to have grown a bit larger.

Recently, the growth of Little Wu Tian has become increasingly obvious.

The Blood Xue Chiluo still looked like a seedling, having grown only two small leaves.

But it had already been able to move itself to the foot of the Jin Tong Mu.

Su Jin did not know how it moved there.

Su Jin did not move it, mainly because she discovered it was sleeping.

Without disturbing the Blood Xue Chiluo's sleep, Su Jin walked over and touched the Jin Tong Mu; the moment she touched it, she immediately felt the Great Expansion Soul Refining Art was about to start circulating again. Frightened, Su Jin quickly let go of the Jin Tong Mu.

She should go to the academy to cultivate the Great Expansion Soul Refining Art instead.

During breakfast, her eldest brother returned the original copy of the Snow Skin Jade Bone Technique to her.

"Here you go. Thank you for letting Xiao Hua cultivate this body-refining technique with you." Su Jian suddenly yawned.

Su Jin immediately smiled. "Did big brother copy the Cultivation Technique for Su Hua?"

"Mm-hmm, your brother copied it all night. Later, your sister-in-law supervised me and proofread it three whole times. I'm so tired my brain is about to go numb." Su Jian yawned again.
