Once Xue Chiluo grows a bit more, I’ll have it take care of your spiritual fields too,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin thought: Either way, one sheep is herded, and a flock is herded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need,” Su Jian spoke up before Su Hua could say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and Su Hua both stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jian immediately rolled his eyes. “Xue Chiluo can already manage the entire backyard’s spiritual fields by itself. I watched it all day—it didn’t let a single insect escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected Xue Chiluo to be this powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua nearly screamed. Does this mean I’ll get top marks on my academy assignments from now on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scored forty-three on her first-year academy assignment, average for the class; sixty-nine on her second-year assignment, upper-middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest killers of the spiritual plants she’d cultivated these past two years had been insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xue Chiluo takes care of the insects, wah-kah-kah—she’d explode in progress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Luoluo, you’re already this strong?” Su Jin crouched down and stroked Xue Chiluo’s leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo rubbed its small leaves against her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestress, am I impressive?” Xue Chiluo sent a thought to Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive,” Su Jin replied mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestress, Xue Chiluo can also clear the tiny spiritual energy channels beneath your land. Many fine channels under these fields are blocked. If Xue Chiluo unblocks them, the spiritual energy here will grow denser, and the spiritual plants will grow better,” Xue Chiluo proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you get so capable?” Su Jin praised. “I can’t do without you anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin spoke in the tone her mother used to coax her into working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo immediately perked up like it’d been injected with blood. “Ancestress, wait—I’ll clear all the blocked micro-meridians in just a few days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’m counting on you. Keep it up, Xue Chiluo,” Su Jin continued mentally encouraging it. Su Jin had, without a teacher, mastered the art of “chicken-child” motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestress, just watch me,” Xue Chiluo happily spun in place, then plunged its white rootlets into the soil and shot underground with a hiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why’d it leave so fast?” Brother Su Jian asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xue Chiluo’s a hardworking kid. It told me it’s off to work,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jian: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this a symbiotic spirit, or is this your kid you’re raising?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, why does your tone sound so familiar? Like when Auntie was home, sitting around enjoying herself while you and Aunt Su Shen did all the work,” Su Hua blurted out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jian quickly signaled her daughter, hoping she’d catch the hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked from her brother to Su Hua, then sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll only say this to you, my niece—telling my brother won’t help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Su Hua was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Su Jian was equally confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know my mother’s a lazy daughter—my grandmother used to scold her every time she came.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But who made her give birth to me and Su Shen? Once I have a daughter, I’ll be fine—I’ll just dump all the work on her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can too—you can have a daughter later. Brother can’t have kids, but your sister-in-law can still enjoy herself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin spoke with perfect seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua: Why do I feel like my aunt is corrupting me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jian: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, what does Xue Chiluo usually eat? Do we need to feed it something it likes?” Su Hua asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll find out what Xue Chiluo likes later. It’s only just been born—I don’t even know its diet yet. But I do know it eats insects,” Su Jin said. And just now, when Xue Chiluo came running over, Su Jin had sharply noticed it had grown a full rounder, and its third leaf bud had just begun to peek out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own little red ginseng had all grown five leaves by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xue Chiluo had only sprouted its third leaf bud—clearly, its growth was sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had originally thought Xue Chiluo grew slowly because it absorbed little spiritual energy inside the Little Witch Heaven—but now she wondered if it was simply not eating insect flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To grow, Xue Chiluo needed meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, did you get a spell today? Which one did you pick?” Su Hua asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hua, when you broke through to Qi Refining Second Layer, which spell did you choose?” Su Jin asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I picked Thorn Spear and Illusion Veil,” Su Hua said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thorn Spear I get—that’s a combat spell. But Illusion Veil? Why did you pick that?” Su Jin frowned. “Isn’t that a spell to confuse and trap your opponent? Are you planning to daze them and then sneak in with Thorn Spear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hua gave her aunt an exasperated look. “I chose Illusion Veil after deep thought. It can confuse and trap your enemy—but it can also hide you. When you’re cornered by a strong foe and can’t run, the best escape is to vanish. If they can’t find you, you’re safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why not cultivate Earth Submersion or Wood Submersion? Master those escape spells, and even strong foes can’t catch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, think—really think. With our tiny magic power, how many meters can we tunnel with Earth or Wood Submersion? Where would we even run? If we actually used those spells, our enemies would laugh—easily picking up a weak, powerless ‘enemy’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin immediately agreed—Su Hua was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her earlier reasoning had a flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flaw: no matter how good a spell was, without magic power to fuel it, it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Little Auntie, what spell did you pick?” Su Hua asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I picked Entanglement and Wood Essence Extraction,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Entanglement’s good—just carry a few vine seeds in your pouch, and you can use it easily. But to make it combat-effective, you’ll need lots of practice. Wood Essence Extraction is also good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can sign up for the Wood Essence Extraction team outside the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The big trees outside Xiancheng were planted by the city itself. Each grove can be regularly harvested for wood essence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The city assigns Forest Wardens to guard these groves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you join the Wood Essence Extraction team, you must give one-third of whatever essence you harvest as city tax,” Su Jian explained patiently. “I used to do this job myself—for nearly ten years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You join the Wood Essence Extraction Team; every day you extract, you must pay one-third of the wood essence you harvest as tax to Xiancheng. Su Jian explained to her with great patience. Your older brother used to do this job—he did it for nearly ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Still need to pay taxes?\" Su Jin exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>",1116,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8c3dfed538ffedf7efbd10df2feb0db7558da06edb4c302955d33b1962bd7408","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-42","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-40",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
