Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 233: New Residence

Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Clear Stream Valley.

By the time Su Ming stood before the somewhat desolate cave dwelling, the sky had completely darkened.

Moonlight spilled onto the weed-choked courtyard, while the stream in the distance gurgled and flowed, producing a pleasant sound.

All around was quiet and still. Apart from the chirping of insects, not a single trace of human noise could be heard.

This place truly was secluded. The small path leading into the valley was mostly obscured by dense vines. His new cave dwelling was located at the very end of the valley, backed against a near-vertical, dark gray cliff face. In front was a rather barren but decently sized flat area, with crumbling courtyard walls and wild grass growing rampant.

"Not a bad location."

Lin Yu's ethereal figure drifted out from the ring, hovering in mid-air as he looked around with satisfaction. "Backed by a mountain, facing water, Azure Dragon to the left, White Tiger to the right... *cough*... Mainly, it's the terrain. There's a natural fissure in that cliff face behind us. With a little modification, it becomes a perfect escape route. And this stream in front leads directly to an underground river. If someone ever sets the mountain on fire, we can still escape via water."

Pushing open the heavy stone door, a wave of dust-laden air, the smell of a long-unoccupied space, rushed to meet him.

The interior of the cave dwelling was more spacious than expected, divided into a front hall, a cultivation meditation room, a pill-forging/artifact-forging room (which also served as a study), and a small storage room. The runes of a basic Spirit Gathering Array were faintly visible on the ground in a corner. Though covered in dust, just as Manager Zhao had said, that basic Spirit Gathering Array was still operating. The spiritual energy in the air here was at least ten times stronger than in the menial disciples' courtyard.

The cave dwelling's interior was quite large, divided into a main chamber, a meditation room, and an artifact-forging room.Su Ming took out the one hundred spirit stones from his storage pouch, then placed the bottle of "Condensed Jade Pills" and his identity token on the stone table.

A faint, ethereal spiritual light illuminated the dim stone chamber, also lighting up Su Ming's face, which looked somewhat weary yet brimming with hope.

He picked up that iron token representing "Formation Peak Candidate Steward," his thumb stroking its cold, engraved patterns.

From a menial disciple living hand-to-mouth, to now being an outer sect steward with his own independent cave dwelling and holding a huge sum of money. This step he had taken was thrilling, yet also incredibly solid.

"Master," Su Ming spoke softly.

"Hmm?" Lin Yu floated over to the stone table, looking at that pile of resources. A rare trace of emotion also surfaced in his eyes.
