Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

This question in Chapter 210: is beyond the syllabus.

Inside the meditation room, the dark golden formation plate was placed on a specially made workbench, surrounded by various sizes of carving knives, spiritual ink, and the "spirit-detecting needles" Su Ming had made himself.

Su Ming sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his divine sense spreading out like quicksilver, carefully enveloping the formation plate.

"Do not rush recklessly. First, 'observe its momentum, inspect its damage.'"

Lin Yu directed with calm authority. "Use your water spiritual energy, transform it into the softest spiritual mist, and seep in to investigate. Remember, observe only, do not touch. This thing right now is like a volcano about to erupt. The slightest misstep, and our master and disciple will be reduced to ashes."

Su Ming nodded, took a deep breath, and began operating the Like Water Art.

Deep blue water spiritual energy flowed from his fingertips, transforming into a hazy mist that slowly seeped into the charred break on the formation plate.

As his divine sense delved deeper, Su Ming was inwardly horrified.

Since he began studying formations, relying on the True Meaning of Basic Rune Deconstruction and his own unique "Investigation of Things" method, he had mastered over eighty basic runes to perfection. In the Repair Hall, he could already easily dismantle and optimize most first-order formation plates. But the internal structure of this formation plate before him, that three-dimensional rune network that seemed to form its own world, was at least a hundred times more complex! His meager foundation was like dust before this vast star chart.

"Found it."After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"The core damage is here." He pointed a finger at the charred hole in the center of the formation plate. "This place should originally have been a three-dimensional 'void node,' acting as the spiritual energy hub for the entire formation. But due to spiritual energy overload, the node collapsed, causing the 'spiritual conduits' to melt and sever."

"The node collapse triggered a spiritual energy backflow, incinerating the three auxiliary conduits surrounding it." Lin Yu's voice sounded in Su Ming's mind, his tone serious. "This is like tempering a flying sword, blindly pursuing sharpness while forgetting resilience. The sword intent becomes too strong and backlashes against the sword embryo, causing the scabbard to shatter along with it."

"What should we do then?" Su Ming asked. "Recarve this node? But I don't even know what its original 'dao pattern' was."

"Repairing it exactly as it was is impossible." Lin Yu stated decisively. "The fundamental framework of this formation has a 'dao injury.' It's like using a reed stalk to channel water from the Heavenly River. Even if you temporarily connect it, the moment the water arrives, it will collapse."

"Then..."

"This is where we use our 'Investigation of Things to Extend Knowledge' method." Lin Yu's voice became gently instructive. "The road is broken, why must we replicate the original path? We can 'forge a new path.'"

"Forging a new path?" Su Ming was taken aback.

"Exactly. Since the original 'rigid connection' couldn't withstand such violent spiritual energy, then let's change our thinking." Lin Yu said. "You cultivate the water method, so you should know the characteristics of water. Water benefits all things without contention, conforms to the square and the round, and can contain a hundred rivers."
