Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 149: Elder Ma's Discovery

Su Ming's words were nine parts truth, one part falsehood.

He had indeed spent a great deal of time on the basic runes.

But he omitted his master's guidance, and he concealed his own comprehension ability that far surpassed the ordinary.

He had compressed his actual progress by at least tenfold.

"Oh?"

Elder Ma's tone gave no indication of joy or anger.

"Set one up, let me see."

"Yes."

Su Ming replied respectfully.

He did not go looking for spirit stones or jade.He simply walked to a corner of the meditation room, and from a potted plant used for decoration, picked up three of the most inconspicuous, fingernail-sized pebbles.

Then, he crouched down, right there on the polished, mirror-like bluestone floor, and prepared to begin.

Lin Yu's soul thought, at this moment, transformed into the most demanding director.

"Your hand, tremble a little! Yes, just like that, as if your spiritual energy is unstable!"

"Your expression must be pained! Frown! Make others think that mobilizing every wisp of spiritual energy is like being constipated for you!"

"The rune inscription must be slow! Hesitant! Pause at the turning points, make it look like you're pondering the meaning of life!"

Su Ming's performance was practically flawless.

He extended his index finger, mobilizing that faint wisp of spiritual energy within his body.

His fingertip slowly traced across the floor, leaving behind a crooked, dimly glowing cyan trace.

The entire process was halting and stumbling.

He would pause from time to time, as if recalling the strokes.

At times, sweat beaded on his forehead, as if his spiritual energy was insufficient.

It took a full stick of incense's time before a structurally simple, even somewhat ugly "Gathering" character rune finally took shape.
