Chapter 259: Clues to Foundation Repair

"Luck?"

Qin Yi smiled, slowly walking to the edge of the cold pool. He reached out and gently fiddled with those few formation flags. "The formation layout is rigorous, the nodes precise. This is not luck. And..."

He turned around, his gaze burning as he stared at Su Ming. "I observed the positions where you set up the formation, junior brother. It seems you intentionally avoided the 'startle point' most sensitive to the young snakes. Even someone who doesn't understand formations can see that when this formation operates, those three snake eggs not only don't reject it, but actively draw in spiritual energy. Junior brother, you seem to have a unique sensitivity to spirit beast auras as well?"

The hairs on Su Ming's back instantly stood on end.

When he had set up the formation, he had indeed used Lin Yu's "observation micro state" perspective to see the fluctuations inside the snake eggs. He then adjusted the frequency of the spiritual energy flow to synchronize it with the breathing of the eggs.

Such a minute detail was actually seen through by Qin Yi at a single glance?

"Senior brother, you misunderstand."

Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, his mind racing as he gave the safest explanation. "The Repair Hall usually repairs miscellaneous items for various peaks and has dealt with many damaged beast pens from the Spirit Beast Peak. This junior brother noticed that spirit beasts prefer tranquility over movement, gentleness over harshness. Therefore, when setting up the formation, I deliberately chose the mild variant runes of 'returning wind' and 'moistening things'. These are just rigid principles from books. This junior brother was merely copying them mechanically."

"Rigid principles from books, huh..."

Qin Yi looked deeply at Su Ming for a moment but did not pursue the matter further.With a flick of his wrist, an exquisite porcelain bottle flew towards Su Ming.

"This is 'Beast Spirit Elixir'," Qin Yi said casually. "It greatly benefits the growth of spirit beasts. I see you carry a faint scent of plants and grass on you, junior brother. You must frequent the Spiritual Plant Garden often? If you ever have the fortune to obtain a spirit pet in the future, this elixir can help it gain intelligence."

Su Ming caught the porcelain bottle. It felt warm and smooth to the touch.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qin, for bestowing this medicine." Su Ming bowed again, his posture impeccable.

Qin Yi nodded, then took a communication jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over. "The formations on the Spirit Beast Peak are mostly related to living creatures, complex and ever-changing. Those junior brothers from the Formation Peak often only understand static formations, not living beings. If you encounter any thorny problems in the future, I might still need Junior Brother Su's assistance. This is my communication imprint."
