Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 37: Mastered

"The Wailing Woman Lantern is an artificially refined evil object. It takes the soul of a pregnant woman who died with a grievance as its main component, its ferocity and venomous resentment far exceeding that of ordinary vengeful ghosts. After being nourished by a hundred years of earth vein yin energy, its power has already reached the peak of the 'vengeful ghost' level. It was just one step away from spontaneously condensing a core and transforming into a 'ghost general'," Lin Yu explained. "You could say it was a 'quasi-ghost general' that hadn't fully formed yet."

Lin Yu thought to himself, "A premium, pay-to-win baby that was just about to achieve divine success, and I swallowed it in one gulp. That grudge is indeed not small."

Su Ming drew in a sharp, cold breath.

If a mere "quasi-ghost general" was so terrifying, what about its master?

"As for its master..." Lin Yu's tone carried a trace of... disdain?

"Judging from the residual memories of the vengeful soul, the person who refined this lantern probably isn't that high in cultivation himself. If he were truly a mighty figure in the ghost path, why would he need to place this lantern in this remote, impoverished countryside, relying on earth vein energy to nourish it for a hundred years? Clearly, he lacks resources and can only use this slow, grinding method to refine his treasure."

"Your master infers that this person is at most someone about to enter the 'Golden Core' realm, or perhaps even has an unstable foundation. He regarded the Wailing Woman Lantern as the foundation of his future path. Now that it's destroyed, he will definitely fly into a rage, but it won't be easy for him to find us."

Lin Yu mused internally, "Translation: The opponent is a broke entrepreneur. The only prototype of his potential hit product, which he painstakingly saved up for, got hacked by us. He's definitely so angry he's smashing pots and pans to raise funds right now, but it will still take some time for him to trace us across servers. So, we still have a chance... to run away! Ah, no, I mean to cultivate!"

After hearing his master's analysis, the heavy stone in Su Ming's heart eased slightly.

The enemy was powerful, but not unreachable or impossible to resist. His master was knowledgeable and his analysis was logical and thorough, calming Su Ming's originally panicked heart."Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts. This disciple understands."

"Good that you understand." Lin Yu's voice turned serious again. "Now, you know the enemy exists. Then you should understand even more that for every bit of slacking you do now, you'll face an extra bit of danger in the future. Continue!"

"Yes!"

Su Ming nodded heavily and once again settled his mind and spirit.

This time, he didn't use force. Instead, he made his intention as gentle as water.

He imagined he wasn't gathering mist, but was in the early morning, gently blowing a breath towards a blade of dew-covered grass.

That breath wasn't meant to blow away the dew, but to make the surrounding moisture naturally gravitate towards it.

His mind and spirit were that gentle breeze.
