Isn't this Su Jin? You've come to pick up a technique? Have you already broken through to Qi Refining Level Two? Hah, cultivation doesn't care about age—I ought to call you fellow cultivator now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Su Chengtian was the elderly cultivator in charge of the scripture library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he looked sluggish, his hands and feet moved with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had seen how he tidied up disordered books—his pace in reorganizing the scripture shelves was downright breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Chengtian, I really did break through to Qi Refining Level Two. That’s why Master Liu sent me to pick up a technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what technique are you planning to take?\" Su Chengtian asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Chengtian, I’d like to take the Entangling Technique and the Wood Essence Extraction Technique.\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’ve broken through to Qi Refining Level Two, you may take one or two technique books.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re planning to take both at once? Fine.\" Su Chengtian smiled. \"Wait a moment—I’ll get them for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chengtian quickly handed Su Jin two thin technique books. \"There are cultivation insights for these two techniques in Level One, Section Five. If you want to see how other Su family elders cultivated them, you can go find and read them yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s wonderful!\" Su Jin beamed. \"I’ll go look right away. Hey, Grandpa Chengtian—why do we have cultivation insights for techniques, but none for the basic Qi Refining scripture? We have to figure it out on our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the basic scripture is vast and profound. Almost everyone understands it differently. You’re still young—you can’t tell whether others’ insights are truly useful to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you blindly follow others’ insights, you’ll easily go astray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if you suffer qi deviation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clan school hasn’t been without strange incidents like this before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afterward, we stopped providing any cultivation insights for the basic scripture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re confused while cultivating the basic Qi Refining scripture, ask your instructors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their understanding of the basic scripture has been refined through countless trials—they’ve established fixed methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What they teach you will always prioritize your safety.\" Su Chengtian explained to Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin: So someone actually messed up! Then—is reading others’ cultivation insights really that dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I still read others’ cultivation insights for techniques?\" Su Jin asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reading others’ insights on techniques is perfectly fine. Techniques are far simpler than the basic Qi Refining scripture. Studying others’ insights helps you avoid unnecessary detours and accelerates your progress. Several students before you have come to claim techniques—they each took one or two books.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I never told them there were insights available here.\" Su Chengtian spoke with a mysterious grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin immediately gasped. She thought: Oh no—I’ve become the first little white mouse to read insights for techniques?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the term “white mouse” was taught to her by her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said white mice were ordinary small animals used by ancient Wu shamans for experiments—so common they became famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? Am I good to you?\" Su Chengtian grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin nodded stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine. She’d go look herself. She couldn’t ignore Grandpa Chengtian’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, what if the insights were truly useful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were, then being a white mouse was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin clutched the technique books and went to find the corresponding cultivation insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, the elder cultivators who had practiced these same techniques had written a great many insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin flipped through them rapidly, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She memorized ordinary insights after reading them once. Among so many, she selected only five to take: three on Entangling Technique, two on Wood Essence Extraction. The insight books were even thinner than the technique books—each only a few pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Jin brought them back to the Third Classroom, Su Wuji had awakened from his enlightenment—he had indeed mastered the Great Expansion Divine Cultivation Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was clearly in high spirits, grinning broadly, almost foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Su Jin, you brought back so many technique books? When did the clan school start letting us take this many at once? Did they change the rules because of you?\" Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not because of me. I only took two technique books—the rest are cultivation insights from elders who practiced these same techniques. Level One, Section Five has many such insights. Don’t you want to go find a few to read?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I see the insights you brought back first?\" Su Wuji immediately perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\" Su Jin pushed the pile of books toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wuji didn’t bother with politeness—he examined all seven books, including the technique books. After a while, he said, \"I should go find a few insights too. I see these are genuinely useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go.\" Su Jin packed away all the technique books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She prepared to begin cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She planted the formation disc, practicing three methods simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy in the Second Classroom was twice as abundant as in the First Classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy inside the Third Classroom was twice as abundant as in the Second Classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the spiritual energy in the Third Classroom was four times that of the First Classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such abundant energy, only she and Su Wuji were using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Su Jin’s cultivation was uninterrupted by insufficient energy—she pushed until her meridians reached their limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin stopped cultivating and immediately began dismantling the formation disc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Jin, hurry up and pack. Master Liu wants us to return to the First Classroom before dismissal. Time’s running out.\" Su Wuji said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Su Jin swiftly packed her things and, alongside Su Wuji—who was already ready—slung their small satchels and picked up their small baskets, heading to the First Classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the last students to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liu saw them and gestured with his eyes for them to take their seats quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t waste time—before dismissal. Student Pang Xingchen of the Water Class, though he broke through to Qi Refining Level One, used a forbidden drug. He has been expelled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He won’t be coming tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, remember this: during your time at the clan school, you must never use forbidden drugs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re caught using them, you’ll be expelled immediately. Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" The students answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dismissed.\" Master Liu said coldly. \"Those who have broken through to Qi Refining Level One, stay behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7470be0391686fbaea4aad1601b4586882ed7c7cda6ad4c5df2363eb467c8cd1","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-39","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-37",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
