Chapter 51: Reincarnation

Su Jin finished school and went home without bringing a spirit array, only carrying the newly bought seeds and spirit fruits.

She was going back to practice the Entwining Technique.

After hanging up her schoolbag and carrying the small basket home, Su Jin went to her mother’s room and dragged out her alchemy tools.

She brewed the Heartcore Blueberry Elixir: ten jin of sweet, crisp well water, plus one drop of Heartcore Primordial Milk and two first-rank Golden Silk Blueberries.

The prepared spirit elixir emitted a strange fragrance, drawing her eldest brother Su Jian.

“Little Jin, you just brewed Ice-Sunken Elixir a few days ago—didn’t you still have plenty left? Why are you brewing spirit elixir again?”

“Because I need it, big brother. This elixir must be stored in a cool cellar and left undisturbed for three days. Can you help me move it there?” Su Jin pouted.

“Fine.” Su Jian walked over, sealed the jar, then lifted it effortlessly and carried it away.

Su Jin: How I envy my brother’s strength!

“Little Jin, hurry and activate the cellar’s mechanism.”

“Coming, coming!” Su Jin rushed over to activate the mechanism, then directed her brother to place the large earthenware jar of Heartcore Blueberry Elixir into the cellar beneath her parents’ room.

Inside already lay her parents’ homemade spirit wine.

Su Jian selected a cool, clear spot near the cellar entrance and set the jar down.

“Su Jin, what spirit drink did you brew?” Su Jian asked as he placed the jar in its spot.

“Heartcore Blueberry Elixir.”

“Oh, Heartcore Blueberry Elixir? Wait—Heartcore Blueberry Elixir?” Su Jian suddenly raised his voice: “You can brew Heartcore Blueberry Elixir?”

Su Jian was stunned.

“Mm-hmm, I can. I have the recipe, so I can brew it.” Su Jin replied.

“Why are you brewing Heartcore Blueberry Elixir?” Su Jian asked, puzzled.

“Because I realized my body cultivation technique is progressing too slowly. So I took out one drop of the Heartcore Primordial Milk Grandpa sent me, bought three first-rank Golden Silk Blueberries, and brewed some Heartcore Blueberry Elixir.” Su Jin said.

Su Jian thought: Old man’s amazing—he actually got Heartcore Primordial Milk?

Since Su Jin began cultivating, the old man had grown ever more inscrutable.

“Alright, it’s placed. Wait three days, then open and drink.” Su Jin told Su Jian, “When the time comes, big brother, come get it for me.”

“Got it. I’ll go practice the Entwining Technique now.”

“Go on, go on.” Su Jian and Su Jin left the cellar together; Su Jin returned to her room to practice the Entwining Technique.

“Entwine, go.”

Su Jin swiftly unleashed the Entwining Technique, long practiced and mentally rehearsed countless times.

A gourd seed on her palm rapidly sprouted into a vine one meter long, twisting tightly around the chair before her.

Su Jin ran over and tugged on it.

The vine was extremely sturdy, tightly coiled.

Su Jin thought: Hmm, first time casting the Entwining Technique—the effect is decent.

“Release.” Su Jin cast the Jiechuchanrao spell; the vine instantly uncoiled from the chair, then fell lifelessly to the floor with a thud.

It was truly dead.

Su Jin walked over and touched it—the vine’s vitality was completely gone.

Meaning, this vine was utterly ruined.

“Practicing the Entwining Technique once wastes one vine. So wasteful.” Su Jin picked up the dead vine and tossed it into Xiao Wu Tian.

Better to use it as fertilizer for Jin Tong—then it won’t be wasted.

Otherwise, she’d feel it in her wallet.

All spirit stones!~

Su Jin practiced another ten or so times, consuming ten or so vines, all of which she later tossed into Xiao Wu Tian as fertilizer.

After exhausting her magic power, Su Jin began restoring it while mentally pondering the Wood Essence Extraction Technique.

She was now accustomed to multitasking—key was the efficiency!!

It didn’t delay anything.

The spiritual energy at home was simply too thin.

So Su Jin restored only about one-third of her magic power before deciding to sleep.

After all, even if she cultivated all night without sleep, she’d barely regain full magic power—and lose sleep, which wasn’t worth it.

Better to cultivate at school tomorrow.

Before sleeping, she entered Xiao Wu Tian.

Upon entering, she widened her eyes.

The ten or so dead gourd vines she’d thrown in earlier had vanished without a trace.

But in the southwest corner of Xiao Wu Tian, dozens of tiny, tender gourd vines, palm-sized, now thrived with vitality.

Su Jin silently counted: she’d thrown in twelve vines, and now twelve fresh gourd sprouts had grown—how was this possible?

Su Jin hurried over to touch the Jin Tong Tree and probed it with her spiritual sense.

The Jin Tong Tree quickly replied: “The nature of Wu Tian is reincarnation. When a plant dies and enters Wu Tian—or dies within it—it undergoes reincarnation.”

“Reincarnation: the dead plant regenerates into a new seedling.”

Su Jin received the information and was startled.

She hadn’t expected her Xiao Wu Tian to be so miraculous.

Any dead plant entering Xiao Wu Tian could regenerate into a new seedling!!

If so, according to Jin Tong Tree’s description, if she sent in a thousand gourd vines, would she get a thousand new gourd sprouts?

Then she’d never need to buy spirit seeds again to practice the Entwining Technique?

Could such a thing exist?

No, she had to test it.

But what to test with?

Oh right—she still had four fake golden silk blueberry seeds from when she brewed the spirit elixir. Su Jin found the four fake seeds and tossed them into Xiao Wu Tian.

Then she followed them in.

There, beneath Jin Tong Tree’s roots, four fresh, juicy sprouts had truly grown!

Golden Silk Blueberries!!

Su Jin suddenly let out a joyful cry.

Who said she needed to buy seeds?

Her own Xiao Wu Tian solved the seed problem entirely.

Su Jin happily ran out and brought in all her remaining gourd seeds.

The wooden box holding the gourd seeds still lay on the ground of Xiao Wu Tian.

But no new gourd vines had sprouted.

What happened? Su Jin was baffled.

Just now, she’d thrown in four fake golden silk blueberry seeds and immediately got four new golden blueberry sprouts.

But now she’d brought in many more gourd seeds—and not a single new gourd vine had grown?

Su Jin anxiously asked.

Jin Tong Tree replied with spiritual sense: “The golden silk blueberry seeds were dead. After Wu Tian’s reincarnation, four new golden silk blueberry sprouts emerged. The gourd seeds you brought in are alive. They cannot undergo reincarnation!”

Su Jin immediately understood: reincarnation means death and rebirth.

Without death, there is no reincarnation.
