Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 39: Junk or Treasure

Su Ming carried the water bucket, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes squatting, sometimes standing up. He gradually immersed himself in this feeling of extreme control over his body, never tiring of it.

After playing around for a good while, he finally set the bucket down. The curiosity in his heart ultimately overpowered his fascination with his newfound strength.

He rubbed his hands together, feeling a bit embarrassed as he asked in his mind, "Master, you old... you said earlier that this ring itself is a pocket dimension?"

Lin Yu thought to himself, "Here it comes, here it comes, the regular program. I knew this kid couldn't hold back."

Lin Yu sighed, adopting a tone of helplessness that seemed to say, "Why is this child so interested in these external material things?" "So what if it is?"

"Then... then inside that pocket dimension... are there... lots of treasures?" Su Ming's voice was filled with a young person's yearning for treasure.

Lin Yu thought to himself, "Treasures? The real treasures are all in my head! Apart from a pile of junk left behind who knows how many years ago, this ring contains nothing but a resentment bomb that could explode at any moment. Which one do you want?"

"Hmph." Lin Yu snorted coldly. "Shortsighted! What constitutes a treasure? Divine weapons and sharp blades will eventually be damaged one day; miraculous elixirs and medicines also have their time of depletion. Only one's own personal strength is the true, eternal, indestructible treasure! You haven't even stepped through the gate of cultivation yet, and you're already thinking about these side paths and crooked ways. How will you ever ascend to the Great Dao in the future?"

This scolding immediately made Su Ming's face flush red.

"Disciple... disciple understands his mistake.""Forget it." Seeing that the reprimand had been sufficient, Lin Yu's tone softened again. "Your curiosity is a natural human tendency. This master will let you broaden your horizons, lest you become confused and led astray by the trivial tricks of the outside world in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming's vision suddenly blurred.

He seemed to "see" a gray, hazy space, not large, about the size of a few rooms. Within the space, a few items floated scattered about—exactly those things Lin Yu had inventoried earlier.

"Look carefully." Lin Yu's voice seemed to become the narration for this space.

One image was magnified. It showed several dull, almost spirit energy-depleted stones.
