Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 258: This is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.

At first glance, the tobacco shreds still appeared grayish and murky, but within that grayness, an extremely sharp, bright flash would occasionally streak through.

Su Ming activated his "Observation Micro State," and his pupils contracted sharply.

Deep within those turbid gray impurities was actually a silver thread, as fine as a strand of hair, mixed in! It swam through the gray mist like a nimble silver fish, emanating a clear, cold, and aloof aura.

"Silver thread! It's silver thread source substance!" Lin Yu's voice even changed pitch, unable to suppress his excitement. "Disciple, steady! Don't let it escape!"

Without needing Lin Yu's reminder, Su Ming had already fully activated the *Like Water Art*. His dark blue spiritual energy transformed into a flexible, resilient net, tightly covering that tiny area.

The Xuantian ring's light blazed brilliantly, like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, suddenly generating a powerful suction force.

That "silver fish" struggled in the air for a moment, seemingly wanting to burrow back into the void. But trapped within the stable channel constructed by the Star Pattern Sand and bound by Su Ming's spiritual energy, it ultimately couldn't escape.

*Whoosh.*

A flash of silver light vanished into the ring's surface.

The next instant, Su Ming felt a wave of cool, refreshing sensation wash over his mind. His divine sense, originally somewhat depleted from setting up the formation, recovered more than half in an instant under this coolness. Even his thinking became unprecedentedly clear.Within his Consciousness Sea, Lin Yu had his eyes closed, a look of intoxication on his face. His originally somewhat illusory legs now seemed to solidify a bit more, even the cloud patterns on his shoes were clearly visible.

"Hah..." Lin Yu let out a long exhale, opened his eyes, his gaze bright and clear. "The kick is strong. This single strand of silver thread is worth the total of the previous ten extractions combined! And it has very few impurities, requiring little effort to purify."

Su Ming slumped to the floor. He looked at the spirit stones that had exhausted their spiritual energy and crumbled into powder, then glanced at the Star Pattern Sand on the formation plate whose luster had dimmed, and gave a bitter laugh. "It's effective alright, but the cost..."

After running for just half a shichen, the forty spirit stones worth of Star Pattern Sand was completely consumed, and five spirit stones had turned into useless dregs.

This single "silver thread" was entirely bought with money.

said in high spirits, floating in front of Su Ming. "Although the cost is high, the direction is right. As long as we can keep getting money, this teacher's soul body recovery has hope.

Su Ming fell silent.
