Chapter 68: Busatan Came from the Great Collapse

"At our age, unless someone has an extraordinary innate talent for meridians, everyone's meridian limits are roughly the same," Su Wuji said.

Cough cough cough—Su Linyuan coughed, signaling with his eyes for him to get to the point.

Who doesn’t know this common fact?

But Su Wuji ignored him and deliberately asked: “Then why can we cultivate longer than you?”

“Yeah, why is that?” Su Yunhu blurted out without thinking.

“Because we’re all cultivating a second art simultaneously—Su Jin is even practicing three at once: Qi Refining, Body Refining, and Spirit Refining. When practiced together, they all assist in tempering the body, slightly accelerating our cultivation speed.”

“Practicing three at once works even better,” Su Wuji added.

Only now did Su Linyuan and the others look suddenly enlightened: “So that’s why the direct descendants of Nascent Soul experts are willing to waste so many resources just to stick with triple cultivation!”

Who could resist an increase in cultivation speed?

"After breaking through the first level of Body Refining, your physical innate talent improves slightly. I feel my meridians have become more resilient," Su Jin dropped an even bigger bomb.

"Your physical innate talent improves slightly? Wait—you’ve broken through the first level of Body Refining?" Su Linyuan finally caught on. "How is that even possible so fast?"

Su Wuji also shot a quick glance over. “You really broke through the first level of Body Refining. No wonder your cultivation speed picked up again lately!”

“Cough cough, there’s a reason for that. Let me introduce you to Heartcore Blueberry Elixir,” Su Jin said.

“Cough cough—you actually got your hands on something like this?” Su Linyuan exclaimed in shock, glancing at Su Jin several times, as did Yang Guan.

“I didn’t get it myself,” Su Jin sighed in explanation.

“I know—it was your grandfather. Purple Mansion experts really are something else,” Su Linyuan immediately said.

“Your grandfather’s a Purple Mansion expert?” Su Cheng was slightly surprised, but didn’t care much—he had no Purple Mansion cultivator in his family and couldn’t feel how different such a cultivator made things.

Su Wuji’s grandfather was a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator.

He was about to ascend to Purple Mansion.

So he didn’t care much either.

Besides, at our age, even if a classmate’s grandfather were a Nascent Soul expert, we wouldn’t think the classmate was any different.

In short—we can’t feel the power of a Nascent Soul expert!

“Anyway, if you need Heartcore Blueberry Elixir, come to me. Three hundred spirit stones a flask, half a catty per flask. I still have some left over, but not much.”

“The Heartcore Blueberry Elixir really works. If you raise your Body Refining to the brink of breaking through the first level, then drink a bowl or two, you’ll break through effortlessly.”

“The breakthrough speed is extremely fast.”

“Give me one flask,” Su Wuji immediately tossed down three hundred spirit stones.

Anyone who didn’t take this kind of treasure was a fool.

“I want one too,” Su Cheng said at once. “I’ll bring you the spirit stones tomorrow.”

“Alright. I’ll bring your Heartcore Blueberry Elixir tomorrow.”

"And mine and Yang Guan’s," Su Linyuan said, seeing Su Wuji and Su Cheng both unhesitatingly grab the elixir—he pulled out six hundred spirit stones and pushed them toward Su Jin.

“Fine, I’ll bring four flasks tomorrow.”

“I need some too—I’ll bring the spirit stones tomorrow,” Su Yunhu finally caught on.

If you tried to break through Body Refining by yourself, it might take ten days or even half a month.

But with Heartcore Blueberry Elixir, it’s a snap.

Only a fool would refuse.

Su Jin nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring you one flask tomorrow too.”

Su Jin thought to herself: she’d brewed ten catties of Heartcore Blueberry Elixir, given Su Hua half a catty, sold two and a half catties, and still had seven left.

Well, still plenty left.

Fine—I’ll sell more when I get the chance.

But this Heartcore Blueberry Elixir really makes money—five portions sold for fifteen hundred spirit stones.

Thank you, kind young man who dropped that little bottle into my basket!

Such a good person!

“Sister Jin really has good stuff,” Su Linyuan beamed. “Next time you get something like this, don’t forget me!” With the Heartcore Blueberry Elixir, he’d start cultivating Body Refining too.

Originally he’d planned to focus on Spirit Refining first.

Now with the Heartcore Blueberry Elixir, Body Refining came first—his family already had auxiliary Body Refining spirit liquid.

Come to think of it, that auxiliary Body Refining spirit liquid came from his cousin’s family.

Su Linyuan suddenly winked at his cousin.

Yang Guan immediately smiled helplessly and nodded.

That meant he understood his thought—he’d tell his father later.

Su Wuji had long since entered the basics of Spirit Refining; his cultivation was nearly ready to break through the first level of Spirit Refining. He’d been pondering his Blood Spirit Body Refining Art for days and recently had some insight—he planned to begin triple cultivation soon.

He hadn’t even started when the clan school dropped a bomb.

The clan school had offered the Beast Blood Purification Pool—a rare resource—and now Su Jin had provided Heartcore Blueberry Elixir; good news kept coming.

If he still couldn’t compete with the martial class students with all these resources piled on him, he’d be terrible.

He’d never dare call himself class top again!

When Su Jin returned home that night, she finally remembered what she’d forgotten lately.

As soon as she entered her room, she plunged her spiritual sense into Xiao Wu Tian.

“Jin Tong Mu, where’s that calabash seed? Did you grow it?”

Jin Tong Mu gently moved aside a thick root.

On the ground appeared a tiny sprout.

“This is the Heaven-Piercing Calabash?”

“Mm-hmm. You can also call it Busatan.”

Su Jin found that odd.

“What do Xue Chi Luo and Busatan mean? Why can the Heaven-Piercing Calabash also be called Busatan?”

“Xue Chi Luo means ‘bloodthirsty seed.’ Busatan means ‘calabash that commands sword light,’” Jin Tong Mu explained. But Su Jin still found it strange. “These names are odd.”

“Jin Tong Mu, can you tell me how these names came about? This naming style doesn’t seem to come from ancient Wu Clan?”

“From the Great Collapse.”

“What is the Great Collapse?”

“The Great Collapse is the Great Collapse,” Jin Tong Mu said.

“When did the Great Collapse happen?” Su Jin asked again.

“I don’t remember,” Jin Tong Mu paused before replying: “My memories contain no time for it—only that such a Great Collapse occurred.”

“Jin Tong Mu, aren’t you my soul fragment? How do you have memories of this?” Su Jin asked, puzzled.

“From bloodline,” Jin Tong Mu said.

“From the Wu Clan blood in us? That’s a fascinating way to pass down knowledge,” Su Jin exclaimed.

Jin Tong Mu fell silent.
