Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 240: Boiling Sea Technique

For a cultivator, a month's time was nothing more than the span of a short nap.

In Clear Stream Valley, the vines had climbed three feet higher up the cliff face. The stream at the valley entrance had swelled and receded twice with the rainy season.

Within the cave dwelling, the "Minor Heavenly Cycle Water Rhythm Formation" operated with increasing smoothness, shrouding this remote valley in a perennial, faint mist. To outsiders, this place seemed cold, damp, and utterly lifeless. In truth, the interior was warm and moist with spiritual energy, a hidden world of its own.

Inside the meditation room, the air was unnaturally dry and hot.

Su Ming was bare-chested, sweat trickling down his spine. Before the droplets could hit the ground, they were vaporized into white steam by the residual high temperature lingering in the air.

A water sphere the size of a fist hovered before him.

Su Ming's eyes were bloodshot, his divine sense honed like a carving knife as he attempted to forcibly inscribe a fiery red "Burst" character rune onto the surface of the extremely unstable water ball.

Fire and water being incompatible was a fundamental law of heaven and earth.

The moment the rune, representing the ultimate ferocity of the fire attribute, touched the gentle water spiritual energy, the violent repulsion reaction occurred exactly as expected.

"Zzzzt—"A sharp, piercing screech rang out.

The water sphere didn't shatter into lethally sharp fragments as anticipated. Instead, like a deflating balloon, it trembled violently before transforming into a shower of scalding hot water that drenched Su Ming from head to toe.

"Three hundred and twenty-four."

Lin Yu's phantom sat cross-legged in mid-air, having even conjured a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand. Though he couldn't actually crack them, his posture was the epitome of someone enjoying a show. "Disciple, admit it. What you're doing is like trying to make a fish wear iron armor to go for a run. You're torturing both the fish and the armor."

Su Ming wiped the hot water from his face and slumped back onto the meditation cushion, somewhat dejected.

If this hot water had poured onto an ordinary person, their skin would have blistered and peeled instantly. But for a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, it was merely like taking a bath.
