Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 159: Incident

The rune flowed beneath the brush tip. Su Ming was completely focused, keenly aware of his own state. Lin Yu's soul power acted like the most precise sensor, enveloping Su Ming's wrist, the brush shaft, and the slowly forming rune.

A quarter of an hour later, the simplest "Spirit Gathering" rune was completed. A faint glimmer flashed, and it began operating stably.

"How do you feel?" Lin Yu asked immediately.

Su Ming carefully savored the sensation, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes. "Master, while carving it, I felt... the consumption of my divine sense seemed slightly less than usual. My brushstrokes were steadier, and my mind felt more tranquil and concentrated."

"As expected..." No joy could be heard in Lin Yu's soul voice, only deeper caution. "This ink stick indeed possesses the miraculous effect of nourishing the divine sense and improving carving stability. Just this effect alone makes this item extremely valuable, far beyond what those few low-grade spirit stones of yours could compare to."

"What about Li Kai..."

"The debt of gratitude is even greater now, but it's also more suspicious!" Lin Yu cut him off. "Where did a mere menial disciple like him obtain such a precious item? And why would he give it to you so easily? This matter is absolutely not simple!"

He looked at that ink stick as if it were a hot potato.

"This item is to be sealed away for now. Until we completely understand Li Kai's background and motives, it absolutely cannot be used for maintaining core formations like the 'safe house'! Even for daily practice, use it with extreme caution, and constantly observe for any subsequent effects."

When Su Ming held his breath, focused his spirit, and his brush tip was about to touch the old formation plate, Lin Yu's warning sounded again:"Remember, disciple, pies don't fall from the sky! In this perilous world of cultivation, apart from your master, you must maintain a twelvefold wariness towards everyone! Any seemingly good fortune or gift likely has a price tag attached that you cannot afford!"

Su Ming understood clearly in his heart. Li Kai's "silent gift" held value far beyond his imagination.

He noted this debt of gratitude. Simultaneously, he became even more convinced that within this sect, only by quietly, unobtrusively improving himself could he weather the unknown storms ahead.

......

Several days later, at the Basic Formation Lines Maintenance Department.

Su Ming was guiding two newly arrived menial disciples in repairing a "Bedrock Shield Formation," following the "standardized procedure" he had organized. His explanations were clear and insightful, completely based on data analysis and structural mechanics. The two menial disciples listened, nodding repeatedly, their eyes filled with admiration.
