For a first-rank low-grade effect, one spirit stone is enough. For a first-rank mid-grade effect, you need three spirit stones. If you want a better effect, you’ll need even more spirit stones.” Su Jin said. “The array plate bag comes with instructions on how to install and use it—any idiot can understand it after one look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words she’d wanted to say—“Why don’t you help us and show us how to install and use it?”—died on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she admitted she didn’t know, wouldn’t she be the idiot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, so this is who you really are. Su Lan would remember this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides using the array plate, what should I do if I encounter difficulties during cultivation?” Su Lan asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask Liu Shi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you answer me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll probably only stay here five more days, maybe less. If you have questions, ask Liu Shi. She answers every student’s doubts. Besides, isn’t she better at explaining than I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Jin immediately felt uneasy—could this person start pestering her with questions every single day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin decided: to avoid sharing a classroom with her, she’d take the array plate home today—even if she just absorbed spirit stones, she’d accelerate her breakthrough to Qi Refining Second Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean you’ll only stay five days? Where are you going if you’re not here?” Su Lan asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll break through to Qi Refining Second Layer and move to the third classroom next door. I’m about to break through.” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan stared at her, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You’re breaking through to Qi Refining Second Layer? How can you advance so fast?” Su Lan exclaimed, agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does my speed have to do with you?” Su Jin was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why can’t you wait for me?” Su Lan snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I wait for you?” Su Jin looked at her in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t we best friends?” Su Lan demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of ‘best friend’ holds back her ‘best friend’ from advancing, instead of dragging her down to crawl at the same slow pace? Are you jealous your ‘best friend’ cultivates faster?” Su Wuji chimed in, sharp as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his barb was aimed at Su Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? I’m talking to Su Jin—what’s it to you?” Su Lan fumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t help it—you’ve twisted the meaning of ‘best friend’ beyond recognition, so I had to come over and ask you about it.” Su Wuji said, feigning innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahp. Ahp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng and Su Yunhu both burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just admit it—you’re jealous. Can’t stand someone doing better than you? Say it. Why insult the words ‘best friend’? When you say them, I feel like I’m covered in goosebumps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Su Jin said she was about to break through to Qi Refining Second Layer, her face twisted with jealousy,” Su Cheng added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, so ugly. I almost threw up,” Su Yunhu chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—you’re too much! I’m telling Liu Shi!” Su Lan stormed off to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned to the previous classroom and burst into tears the moment she saw Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi sighed, pulled her out of the classroom, found a small empty room, and asked what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan spun the whole story, adding her own venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did I do wrong? I just asked Su Jin to help me. We grew up together—we’re best friends. Why won’t she help me? Why is explaining a single doubt so unbearable for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think she’s selfish.” Su Lan concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, Liu Shi frowned: “Why must you ask Su Jin? Won’t that delay her cultivation? What is your relationship to her? Is she your father? Your mother? If you’re just childhood playmates, why should she sacrifice her own progress for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… can’t I ask someone for help? I just started in that classroom,” Su Lan said, bewildered and hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all students. Cultivation is your top priority. Even if she were willing to help you, I’d still urge her to focus on her own progress. If you have questions, come to me. If you need help, come to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m your instructor—that’s my job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean by going to Su Jin? As Su Wuji said—you’re trying to delay her, slow her breakthrough, drag her down to your level?” Liu Shi’s gaze turned icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you saying, Liu Shi? What do you mean ‘dragged down to my level’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I really that worthless in your eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan couldn’t hold back her hurt—she burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one will delay their own future for you. The clan school won’t allow it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either cultivate on your own, or prepare to be expelled,” Liu Shi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little jealousy was harmless—if it fueled healthy competition, she might even admire the girl for setting Su Jin as her goal. But she absolutely could not let her sabotage the seeds she’d identified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin was cultivating three methods simultaneously—she couldn’t afford any delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi would never permit a girl’s malice to hinder the seeds she’d chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shi, I won’t leave. I’ll cultivate properly from now on,” Su Lan said, instantly changing her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember your words. School’s out. Go home.” Liu Shi said coldly. “If I catch you thinking like this again, I’ll notify your parents and have you expelled immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan was too terrified to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Su Lan off, Liu Shi went to find Su Jin—and caught her just as she was packing up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here,” Liu Shi called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin saw it was Liu Shi and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though school had just begun, she’d always held a good impression of Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found another small empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi motioned for Su Jin to sit across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Lan came to me just now, saying you refused to help her with cultivation questions. What’s your view on this?” Liu Shi asked, serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I truly won’t help her. First, I have no obligation to answer her questions. Second, I won’t let her delay my cultivation. Third, I think she has ill intent. She keeps calling us best friends, but I’ve never felt that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled: though they’d played together a few times in the past, Su Lan only ever invited her when she needed something—otherwise, she never once included her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now she’s gone to complain!\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","044b904bb926210051de6bba79ced7858baf9941e038e34b6d71bd2faa8f7345","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-34","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-32",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
