Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 284: First Step into the Iron Wall Pass

"This man is a wily old veteran."

After walking some distance, Lin Yu commented within the Consciousness Sea, "Although his words are harsh, this kind of person is often more reliable than those hypocrites who spout benevolence and righteousness. Following him, at least you won't be inexplicably sold out."

"He was testing my method of receiving the formation plate just now," Su Ming said in a low voice. "He used a clever force, not brute strength. He noticed."

"Good that he noticed," Lin Yu said. "Here, showing your value is more important than hiding your clumsiness. Only when they think you're useful will someone give you a hand when danger strikes."

Stone House Number Seven in the Bing District was located at the very edge of the camp, right next to a section of abandoned city wall.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, the furnishings inside were simple to the extreme. A stone bed, a stone table, and a few meditation cushions piled in the corner. Simple soundproofing and temperature-gathering runes were carved on the walls, but they were already peeling and worn.

No one was inside, clearly a single room, or perhaps the roommate was still on duty.

Su Ming closed the door and checked the interior restrictions.

"Too crude."

Su Ming shook his head. "The defensive restrictions here are full of holes. If someone was eavesdropping outside, it'd be no different from standing right in front of me."He pulled out several Formation Flags from his storage pouch and skillfully laid down a simplified version of the "Minor Heavenly Cycle Water Rhythm Formation."

As faint water ripples spread across the walls, the noise inside the room instantly vanished, becoming deathly quiet.

"Master, is it safe here?"

"Temporarily, no high-level divine sense prying has been detected," Lin Yu said. "The spiritual energy fluctuations here are too chaotic, which actually provides natural cover. Hurry up and plant that thing."

Su Ming nodded and walked to the darkest corner of the stone house.

He took out his commonly used Mystic Iron small shovel. Without using spiritual energy, he acted like an ordinary mortal, carefully prying open the floor slab and digging down about three feet.

The soil showed an eerie dark red color, hard as iron.
