Chapter 57: Breakthrough to Body Tempering First Layer
With this Essence-Refining Pill, not only would her Qi Condensation Cultivation Technique's cultivation speed increase, but she could also attend to her Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, allowing her Body Tempering Cultivation Technique to advance at a rapid pace.
She had taken one pill, and the effect was simply too good.
With resources surging, her cultivation speed immediately accelerated rapidly. At the same time, she understood and experienced how other students with resources cultivated, and what confidence they truly possessed.
Now, her perspective was different from before.
Feeling her cultivation constantly progress under the support of resources made her feel she already understood very well the limits of those classmates who had once ranked above her, and her own future.
"Little Aunt, you must know I have Five Spirit Roots. Among the Five Spirit Roots in our Sect, many Nascent Soul Great Immortals have been produced through competition. I believe I can do it too." Su Hua said with restrained pride.
Su Jin thought to herself: Little Hua, stop talking about Five Spirit Roots; the Five Spirit Roots in our Sect have been ruined by them.
"Then take this." Su Jin handed her a small jar. "Inside is the Earth-Core Blueberry Dew I mixed. Consider it a gift from your aunt. You must break through to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer as soon as possible." Su Jin smiled encouragingly at Su Hua. "Auntie believes in you. You will definitely become a Nascent Soul Great Immortal."
Su Hua's eyes suddenly turned red against her will.
Earth-Core Blueberry Dew is truly a precious treasure for enhancing Body Tempering cultivation.
The spiritual dew in this small jar, she sensed, was at least half a jin.
As long as she consumed this portion of spiritual dew, she was certain to break through Body Tempering First Layer within a few days.
But...
"Auntie, this is too precious. I cannot accept it." Su Hua declined.
This is Earth-Core Blueberry Dew. Do not think she did not know that the most difficult part of this spiritual dew is the Earth-Core Primordial Milk. This Earth-Core Primordial Milk, she did not know how the Hall Great-Grandfather managed to acquire. He must have owed quite a few favors.
The Hall Great-Grandfather, for Little Aunt's cultivation, looked as if he were about to empty the entire family treasury.
So willing to give so much.
Besides, although this spiritual dew is very important to her, it is even more important to Little Aunt.
It concerns whether Little Aunt, who practices Three Methods simultaneously, will be held back by the Body Tempering Cultivation Technique.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot accept it.
"Little Hua, rest assured and use it; I have another half jin here. That is enough for me to break through Body Tempering First Layer. Earth-Core Blueberry Dew is only extremely effective when used just before a breakthrough, and it can only be used before Body Tempering Fourth Layer.
After Body Tempering Fourth Layer, it is not as useful as Red Maple Treasure Juice.
For daily use, its effect on advancing the Body Tempering Cultivation Technique is not even as good as ordinary Bing Chen Lu.
I mixed a total of ten jin of Earth-Core Blueberry Spiritual Dew. That is enough for us aunt and niece to use."
Su Hua: "..."
What to do? Little Aunt is persuading me.
"Besides, once you break through in Body Tempering, it will also advance your Qi Condensation Cultivation Technique further. Perhaps it will allow you to break through to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer even faster." Su Jin tempted her. "If you break through to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer earlier than the top ten in your class, then who is the true top ten in the class will be obvious at a glance, won't it?"
This was simply the devil's temptation. Su Hua could not help but feel moved.
"Little Hua, accept your little aunt's gift. Your father will help you repay this favor." Su Jian walked in and said.
He had happened to pass by Su Hua's room and heard Su Jin tempting his own daughter.
"Look, even Big Brother says so, so just accept it." Su Jin said.
In Su Jin's eyes, Su Hua had entered the Clan School for three years now, always chasing others while at a disadvantage.
Even though her grades were not as good as others, Su Hua persisted with unyielding resilience. In Su Jin's view, Su Hua might not have any extraordinary cultivation talent, but she possessed an unyielding heart.
With such firm will, it is enough to support Su Hua in walking the path of pursuing immortality and transcendence all the way.
So what if she helps her accelerate a bit while she is weak?
After all, she is her own eldest niece; her resources are not going cheap to outsiders.
"Thank you, Little Aunt." Su Hua solemnly accepted the small jar.
Su Hua secretly encouraged herself: For her to break through to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer, her family members have continuously invested in her, bringing her various cultivation resources.
So this time she must go all out.
"No need to be polite. After all, we are all family. Then I am leaving." Su Jin finished speaking and intended to leave. As a result, Su Jian walked out with her and handed her a small bag. "Su Jin, take this.
Inside are fifty spirit stones, compensation from Big Brother for the spirit fruit money.
The Golden Thread Blueberry Spirit Fruit inside the Earth-Core Blueberry Dew is not cheap either.
I opened the lid of the pottery jar and smelled your Earth-Core Blueberry Dew.
The scent of the spirit fruit and the Earth-Core Primordial Milk was too strong.
You must have added quite a lot of spirit fruit. These spirit stones count as part of Big Brother's compensation to you.
Additionally, it counts as a favor Big Brother owes you.
After all, Earth-Core Primordial Milk is a good thing that can be encountered but not sought; it cannot be bought even with spirit stones.
I do not know where the Hall Grandfather managed to acquire it.
Regarding Little Hua's matter this time, Big Brother will not be polite with you anymore.
In the future, when there is an opportunity, Big Brother will definitely repay you."
"Good." Su Jin smiled. Actually, whether repaid or not did not matter; as long as Big Brother was happy, that was enough.
"By the way, while there is still a little time in the morning, hurry up and drink a small bowl of Earth-Core Blueberry Dew. It is best not to take this kind of spiritual dew to the Clan School." Su Jian reminded her.
"I understand."
Su Jin returned to her own room and poured herself a small bowl of spiritual dew.
Then she drank it sip by sip.
The taste was slightly sweet.
At first, when the spiritual dew entered her belly, Su Jin felt nothing.
However, quickly, a wave of heat swept from her stomach throughout her entire body.
Crack, crack, crack. With a series of light sounds from her bones all over her body, Su Jin immediately sensed that she had broken through to Body Tempering First Layer.
Immediately after, the intense heat throughout her body that was difficult to dissipate began to radiate out from her skin.
Her skin gradually turned a faint pink, like that of a newborn infant.
Yet it felt remarkably tough, as if ordinary skin had transformed into some resilient membrane difficult to cut.
Some faint gray-black impurities also dissipated with the heat and were flushed out through her skin.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the medicinal power was completely exhausted.
Su Jin quickly took a bath with her sister-in-law's help.
She never expected that the first layer of Body Tempering, which she had thought would still require ten or so days to break through, was breached in less than a quarter of an hour with the aid of a bowl of Earth-Core Blueberry Dew.
In this case, the speed at which she cultivated her three arts together would likely accelerate once more.
Su Jin sealed the remaining Earth-Core Blueberry Dew with a Spirit-Sealing Talisman; this way, this spiritual dew would not spoil for several years.
Currently, she still had quite a bit of Earth-Core Blueberry Dew left. With only her and Su Hua consuming it, how much could they possibly use up?
This stuff becomes useless after the fourth layer of Body Tempering.
The problem is, if she wanted to sell it, who could she sell it to?
Who could purchase the spiritual dew in her hands quietly, safely, and without gossiping?
