Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 295: The Living River

The person who arrived was none other than the Grandmaster of the Path of Formations at Iron Wall Pass, Elder Mo.

The old man was still wearing that plain, faded robe, his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze swept across the warehouse before finally settling on Su Ming's workbench.

"How many have been repaired?" Elder Mo's voice was somewhat hoarse, betraying no emotion.

"Reporting to Elder Mo, today I have repaired thirty-two 'Earthen Shield' formation plates, fifteen 'Blazing Fire Cone' formation plates, and additionally modified twelve warning plates," Su Ming lowered his head and reported truthfully.

Elder Mo's cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly walked over to the wooden crate.

He casually picked up one of the 'Earthen Shield' plates repaired by Su Ming, his rough fingertips gently rubbing over the healed cracks on the surface of the formation plate.

A moment later, the old man's eyebrows twitched.

"The Water Refining Method?" Elder Mo looked at Su Ming, a flash of surprise in his eyes. "No alchemical fire was used, but water spiritual energy was used to permeate and fuse. This technique..."

"This disciple's spiritual root is water, my fire techniques are not proficient, so I could only find an alternative path," Su Ming said respectfully. "Although it is not as sturdy as fire refining, it has the advantage of not damaging the veins of the formation lines, and... it's somewhat faster."

"Somewhat faster? It's more than just that."Elder Mo put down the formation plate, a note of appreciation entering his tone. "Fire refining is rigid, but it easily makes materials brittle, unable to withstand a second impact. Your water refining method preserves the material's toughness. On the battlefield, toughness is often more important than hardness."

Having said that, Elder Mo's gaze fell upon the pile of modified warning plates.

He picked one up and gently exhaled a wisp of spiritual energy.

A circle of gentle, watery ripples spread out, instantly covering the entire warehouse.

Elder Mo's expression finally changed.

He looked deeply at Su Ming, as if trying to see through this seemingly ordinary Qi Refining stage disciple.

"Integrating the circulation principle of the 'Minor Heavenly Cycle' into such a low-grade magical implement, transforming rigidity into fluidity." Elder Mo slowly nodded, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Su Ming, this old man indeed did not misjudge you. What you said that day, 'do not seek its source, only observe its momentum,' was not empty talk."

Su Ming felt a slight relief in his heart, knowing he had passed this hurdle.

"This disciple only wished to give his comrades one more chance at survival," Su Ming appropriately expressed a hint of "comradeship."

"A fine sentiment, 'one more chance at survival.'"

Elder Mo took out a cyan jade token from his sleeve and lightly tossed it onto the workbench with a crisp 'clack.'

"Since you have such intentions and such talent, this old man cannot be too stingy. This token grants you access to the side hall of the Spiritual Hub Hall, allowing you to peruse the formation diagrams on the 'Yi'-numbered bookshelf. There are some insights into intermediate formations there, perhaps useful to you."

Su Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat.

The side hall of the Spiritual Hub Hall!

What was stored there wasn't the common goods found outside, but the practical essence left behind by generations of formation masters at Iron Wall Pass, even touching upon the core structures of some intermediate formations.

Elder Mo's guidance!" Su Ming bowed deeply. This time,
