Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 256: Clumsiness Can Overcome Cleverness

One month.

Su Ming calculated quickly in his heart.

Now, he held the spirit stones earned from the Spiritual Plant Garden, plus the income from selling the Red Essence Copper just now. Resources were not lacking for the moment. One month's time, combined with the Like Water Art and his Master's guidance, was enough for him to push his cultivation to the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refining, and he could even attempt to touch the threshold of the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

Moreover, during this period, he could also initially master a few high-level rune combinations from the Ancient Analysis of Formation Lines.

By the time he paid respects to the Golden Core elder, with cultivation and skills to rely on, he would at least not appear too shabby, and could also be more confident in striving for some core inheritances.

Thinking of this, Su Ming bowed solemnly: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother. For this month, I, Su Ming, will definitely close my door to visitors, diligently study the path of formations, and live up to the elder's expectations."

With the main business concluded, Luo Feng did not immediately get up to take his leave.

He sat on the stone stool, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the rim of the tea cup, the unshakeable worry between his brows resurfacing.

After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made some decision, he turned his wrist and took out a semi-transparent formation plate.

"Junior Brother." Luo Feng's voice was a bit dry, "Actually, my visit this time, besides apologizing, also has a request... concerning the final hurdle of this 'Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation'—the 'Soul-Suppressing Core'."Su Ming's gaze fell upon the formation plate.

This was an unfinished formation plate, carved entirely from warm, gentle "Soul-Nourishing Jade." But at the center of the formation plate, there was an extremely obvious vortex of spiritual energy, violent and chaotic.

"This formation needs to use 'Soul-Nourishing Jade' as the base, to inscribe the 'Nine Palaces Soul-Suppressing Lines'." Luo Feng pointed at that vortex, his brow tightly furrowed, "But the problem is, Soul-Nourishing Jade has a gentle, nourishing nature; while the Soul-Suppressing Lines need to draw upon the Yin murderous aura power from the Northern Mang Ghost Domain, which is focused on suppression. Their attributes are completely opposite."

"I've tried seventeen types of harmonizing runes, even used the 'Material Purification Method' you taught me before to treat the Soul-Nourishing Jade, but I still cannot completely resolve this conflict."

Luo Feng sighed, his eyes full of defeat, "Once the murderous aura enters the jade, the Soul-Nourishing Jade instinctively repels it, causing continuous damage to the formation plate. According to current projections, this formation plate will collapse on its own due to internal conflict in at most three years."
