Chapter 57: Breakthrough: Body Refining First Layer

With these Yi Jing Dan, her Qi Refining cultivation speed would increase, and she could also focus on Body Refining, rapidly advancing her Body Refining cultivation.

She had taken one pill—the effect was simply incredible.

Once resources became available, her cultivation speed surged immediately. She also finally understood how other students with resources cultivated, and what gave them their confidence.

Now, her perspective had changed entirely from before.

Feeling her cultivation base steadily rise under the support of resources, she felt she now fully understood the limits of those students who had once surpassed her—and her own future.

"Little Gu, you must know I'm a Five-Spirit Root. Among our sect's Five-Spirit Roots, countless Nascent Soul Grand Masters have emerged. I believe I can become one too," Su Hua said with restrained pride.

Su Jin thought: Little Hua, stop talking about Five-Spirit Roots—our sect’s Five-Spirit Roots have been ruined by them.

“Here, take this,” Su Jin handed her a small flask. “Inside is the Geocentric Blueberry Elixir I mixed. Consider it an auntie’s gift. You must break through Qi Refining Fourth Layer as soon as possible.” Su Jin smiled encouragingly. “Auntie believes in you. You will surely become a Nascent Soul Grand Master.”

Su Hua’s eyes suddenly turned red.

The Geocentric Blueberry Elixir was truly an excellent treasure for boosting Body Refining cultivation.

She sensed the elixir inside the flask—at least half a catty.

If she consumed this elixir, she would definitely break through Body Refining First Layer within days.

But…

“Auntie, this is too precious. I can’t accept it,” Su Hua declined.

This was Geocentric Blueberry Elixir. Don’t think she didn’t know the hardest part to obtain was Geocentric Primordial Milk. This Geocentric Primordial Milk—no one knew how her distant grandfather had acquired it. He must have owed countless favors.

Her distant grandfather had gone all out to support Little Auntie’s cultivation—like he was emptying the entire family’s treasury.

He had given too much.

Besides, while this elixir was important to her, it was even more vital to Little Auntie.

It determined whether Little Auntie’s triple-cultivation path would be held back by Body Refining.

So she absolutely could not accept it.

“Little Hua, don’t worry—I still have half a catty left. More than enough for me to break through Body Refining First Layer. Geocentric Blueberry Elixir works best only when you’re on the verge of a breakthrough—and only before Body Refining Fourth Layer.”

After Body Refining Fourth Layer, it’s less effective than Red Maple Essence.

Used daily, its progress in Body Refining is even worse than ordinary Ice-Sunken Dew.

I brewed ten catties total. More than enough for both of us.”

Su Hua: “...”

What should she do? Little Auntie was convincing her.

“Besides, once you break through Body Refining, your Qi Refining will advance further too. Maybe you’ll break through Qi Refining Fourth Layer even faster,” Su Jin tempted her. “If you break through before the top ten in your class, won’t it be obvious who the real top ten are?”

This was pure demonic temptation. Su Hua couldn’t help but be swayed.

“Little Hua, accept your little aunt’s gift. Your father will repay this favor,” Su Jian walked in and said.

He had accidentally passed by Su Hua’s room and heard Su Jin coaxing their daughter.

“See, even Brother agrees. Take it,” Su Jin said.

In Su Jin’s eyes, Su Hua had been in the clan school for three years, always chasing others from behind.

Even with inferior results, Su Hua never gave up. To Su Jin, Su Hua might lack exceptional cultivation talent—but she had an unyielding will.

With such determination, she could keep walking the path toward immortality and transcendence.

So why not help her accelerate when she’s weak?

After all, she’s family. Her resources weren’t going to outsiders.

“Thank you, Little Auntie,” Su Hua solemnly took the flask.

Su Hua silently urged herself: To help her break through Qi Refining Fourth Layer, her family kept investing in her, providing endless cultivation resources.

So this time, she had to give everything.

“No need to thank me. We’re family. I’m off,” Su Jin said, turning to leave. But Su Jian followed her out, handing her a small bag. “Su Jin, take this.”

“Fifty spirit stones inside—your brother’s compensation for the spirit fruit you used.”

The Golden Silk Blueberries in the Geocentric Blueberry Elixir aren’t cheap either.

I opened the clay jar and sniffed it.

The scent of the spirit fruit and Geocentric Primordial Milk was overpowering.

You must have added a lot of spirit fruit. These stones are just partial compensation.”

Also, your brother owes you a favor.

After all, Geocentric Primordial Milk is rare—unobtainable even with spirit stones.

No one knows how Grand Uncle acquired it.

For Little Hua’s sake, I won’t be polite anymore.”

“Next time you get a chance, I’ll repay you.”

“Alright,” Su Jin smiled. Whether he repaid her or not didn’t matter—as long as Brother was happy.

“By the way, since there’s still time in the morning, drink a small bowl of the Geocentric Blueberry Elixir now. Don’t bring this elixir to the clan school,” Su Jian warned.

“I know.”

Su Jin returned to her room and poured herself a small bowl of elixir.

Then she sipped it slowly, drop by drop.

The taste was slightly sweet.

At first, as the elixir entered her stomach, she felt nothing.

But soon, a wave of heat surged from her belly through her entire body.

Crack, crack, crack—accompanied by a soft series of bone sounds, Su Jin immediately sensed she had broken through Body Refining First Layer.

Immediately, the heat that had previously been trapped in her body began to seep out through her skin.

Her skin gradually turned slightly red, like a newborn baby’s.

Yet when touched, it felt surprisingly tough—as if ordinary skin had transformed into a resilient, unbreakable membrane.

Some faint gray-black impurities were also expelled through the heat, pushed out through her pores.

Within less than a quarter-hour, the medicinal power was fully spent.

Su Jin quickly bathed with her sister-in-law’s help.

She hadn’t expected to break through Body Refining First Layer in less than a quarter-hour—when she’d thought it would take ten more days.

This would surely accelerate her triple-cultivation progress even further.

Su Jin sealed the remaining Geocentric Blueberry Elixir with a Spirit-Sealing Talisman, ensuring it wouldn’t spoil for years.

She still had plenty left. Between her and Su Hua, how much could they possibly consume?

This stuff becomes useless after Body Refining Fourth Layer.

But the problem was—who could she sell it to?

Who would quietly, safely, and discreetly buy this elixir from her?
