Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 323: The Last Supper

Returning to Stone Hut Number Seven, Su Ming began taking stock of his belongings.

The Military Merit token, identity jade plaque, Foundation Establishment pill, miscellaneous items acquired from the Ghost Market, and those few jade slips recording his formation insights... All items were sorted by category and neatly stored away into his storage pouch.

After completing this, the hut became empty and desolate.

Su Ming pushed open the stone window.

The wind and snow had ceased at some unknown time, and a few sparse, cold stars even shone through the night sky.

Tonight, Iron Wall Pass was unusually quiet. The distant, continuous beacon towers burned silently, as if even those restless demon beasts knew a meritorious individual was about to depart and were reluctant to disturb.

This was a peace almost auspicious, filled with a sense of consolation.

Su Ming gazed at the distant lights, his heart free from the usual tension and scheming, leaving only a calm sense of accomplishment.

"This year was worth it."

He closed the window, shutting out the chill from outside. His gaze swept over the corner of the table, where a small bottle still rested.

Su Ming picked up the bottle and gently shook it.

"There's still some Void Stone Powder left."

He asked within his Consciousness Sea, "Master, since there's nothing to do tonight anyway, why not use it now? Although the Source Substance here is thin, we shouldn't waste it."

......

No lamp was lit inside the room. The only faint light came from the formation plate slowly revolving at the center of the stone table.

Su Ming's wrist hovered, the tip of the brush holding a specially made spiritual ink mixed with "Void Stone Powder" still undried. Following the rhythm of his breathing, it descended with extreme slowness onto the most central node of the formation plate.
