Chapter 31: The Spirit Refining Talent Is Unmatched

The spiritual energy seems to be running low.

This time, Su Jin clearly felt her meridians had not yet reached their limit, but there was no spiritual energy left in the Spirit Gathering Array.

Su Jin could only stop cultivating, sat right inside the Spirit Gathering Array, and pulled out the book “Six Hundred Cases of Pest Control,” flipping through it while waiting for the array to replenish enough spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the spare classroom here had plenty of spiritual energy.

About half an hour later, she resumed cultivating.

Only when her meridians reached their limit did she begin dismantling the array plate.

“Su Jin, what’s wrong with you today? You always stopped cultivating first before—today you were the last to stop. Look, Su Linyuan and Yang Guan finished before you.” Su Yunhu bustled over, chattering.

“I’m cultivating three methods. I dare not rush—I’m starting slow.” Su Jin replied calmly.

Su Yunhu’s mouth dropped open in shock.

“You’ve started cultivating three methods at once?” Oh my god, she’s actually begun cultivating three methods simultaneously.

“Mm-hmm.” Su Jin nodded.

Su Wuji immediately exclaimed, “I still need a few more days to study before I can even start cultivating three methods. No wonder you weren’t in a hurry to break through to Qi Refining Second Layer—you’ve been pouring all your energy into studying the three methods.”

Su Wuji’s tone carried a hint of bitterness.

Actually, his heart ached more.

In our class, although his Qi Refining technique always earned him the top breakthrough rank, Su Jin wasn’t far behind.

He’d only just begun supplementing his Spirit Refining technique, and hadn’t even started studying his Body Refining method.

Yet she’s already cultivating all three at once.

Though he claimed he could start cultivating three methods in a few days, according to his current progress, he’d need at least ten to fifteen days before he could even begin.

A simple comparison revealed that Su Jin’s cultivation talent was no worse than his.

A deep sense of crisis took root in Su Wuji’s heart.

No, he couldn’t afford to dawdle anymore—he needed to give his all to cultivation.

In our class, Su Jin was already overtaking him; who knew how many formidable talents in other classes were waiting to crush him underfoot?

While Su Wuji was lost in thought, Su Cheng had already exclaimed in surprise. “Su Jin, you’re moving too fast. I’m still struggling with dual cultivation.”

“The day after I first generated my first wisp of magic power, I developed spiritual sense and opened my mind sea.”

“Later, my brother helped me get a Spirit Refining technique from Master Liu—‘The Great Expansion Spirit Refining Scripture.’ I started studying Spirit Refining early. While you were all focusing on single methods, I was already studying the techniques and researching dual cultivation. So it’s only natural I got a head start on triple cultivation. Anyway, you’ll catch up in just a few days.”

Su Jin still recognized Su Wuji and Su Cheng’s talents. She felt that even though she’d begun triple cultivation earlier, her lead wouldn’t last long—they’d catch up soon enough.

Just like how Su Wuji broke through Qi Refining Second Layer ahead of her—it didn’t matter, she’d catch up quickly too.

After all, triple cultivation shouldn’t be an obstacle to their progress.

“Can you tell us what it’s like?” Su Yunhu asked curiously.

“The feeling of triple cultivation? It’s great,” Su Jin said.

Su Yunhu rolled his eyes.

“You know what I really want to ask, right?” Su Yunhu groaned.

“Hahaha, I know—you want to know why everyone wants to cultivate three methods at once, right?” Su Jin laughed.

Su Yunhu glared at her.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. From the very start, triple cultivation slightly boosts the cultivation speed of all three methods. But that’s not the key—the key is that I feel the effects reinforce each other.”

“For example, when I circulate Qi Refining, my Spirit Refining technique can reverse-boost my Qi Refining, making my magic power purer and denser.”

“Likewise, when I cultivate Spirit Refining or Body Refining, it enhances the effectiveness of my other methods too.”

“They complement and mutually promote each other.”

“I feel my magic power from triple cultivation is denser and easier to control, and its form is more stable.”

“Spirit Refining is even better—I feel a slight increase in my soul force after every full cycle.”

“As for Body Refining, though I’m currently cultivating my skin and membrane,”

“the spiritual energy I inhale while practicing the other two methods automatically and subtly refines my internal organs, bone marrow, and tendons. Of course, this refinement effect is faint—unless you pay close attention, you won’t notice it. But I believe small gains accumulate; when I start refining other parts of my body, it’ll save me a lot of time.”

“That’s incredible! Triple cultivation can reinforce each other and produce such results?” Su Cheng exclaimed in astonishment. His resolve to begin triple cultivation grew stronger.

“No wonder so many people want to cultivate three methods,” Su Yunhu muttered, envious. He… cough, probably couldn’t manage triple cultivation himself.

Su Wuji thought for a moment, then said, “Su Jin, your Spirit Refining talent is simply extraordinary.”

“I’ve heard Spirit Refining techniques are the hardest to cultivate—even after mastering the basics, most people need five or six days to generate just a single wisp of new soul force.”

Spirit Refining has always been the bottleneck in triple cultivation. If you want to cultivate three methods together, none can lag too far behind—otherwise, the slowest one drags down the whole process.”

Spirit Refining is usually the one that drags everyone down.

But your Spirit Refining talent is astonishing—you gain a wisp of soul force after just one full cycle. That means you gain at least five or six wisps per day, right?” Su Wuji asked.

Su Jin nodded.

She completed at least six full cycles of the Spirit Refining Scripture daily.

That meant six wisps of soul force.

“I don’t think Spirit Refining will hold you back—you’ve just bulldozed through this obstacle with pure talent,” Su Wuji said helplessly. He knew this pattern too well—powering through every barrier with raw talent.

Because that’s exactly how he’d cultivated his Qi Refining technique.

“So today, during my triple cultivation, my Spirit Refining result was this: one full cycle, one wisp of soul force—I gained six wisps today,” Su Jin said.

“Then triple cultivation really does deliver impressive results,” Su Wuji immediately smiled. He’d hurry to begin triple cultivation himself—he wanted to experience it firsthand.

“I think people differ in innate ability. Su Jin was born with a powerful soul—so even with the same technique, she gathers new soul force faster than we do,” Su Cheng said.
