Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 346: Moving

Dawn's first light was faint, and the wind atop Gazing Star Cliff remained bitingly cold, like a blunt knife repeatedly scraping against the rocks.

After a night of formation guidance, the originally violent and chaotic spiritual energy field underwent a subtle change. A faint silver starlight descended from the nine heavens, converging mid-air with the grayish-yellow earth energy rising from the base of the cliff. If one had opened their spiritual eye, they would have seen these two vastly different forces being combed by an invisible hand, forming a slowly rotating vortex ring around the cliff's periphery.

The outer ring was turbulent like a meat grinder, tearing apart the chaotic fierce winds; the interior, however, gradually stabilized, forming a relatively calm eye of the storm.

Inside the cave dwelling, it was still damp and chilly. Fine beads of water seeped from the stone walls, dripping onto the bluestone slabs with hollow, lonely echoes.

Su Ming crouched before the newly opened medicinal plot, his sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms half-covered in mud. In his hands, he held a "Silver-Spotted Heart-Clearing Orchid" he had just transplanted from his old residence in Clear Stream Valley.

This orchid looked somewhat wilted, the silver spots on its leaves dull and lackluster.

Su Ming tapped the tip of the orchid's leaf with his fingertip, his brow slightly furrowed. "The Silver-Spotted Heart-Clearing Orchid prefers shade and tranquility. The Star Baleful Energy here on Gazing Star Cliff is like being scraped by knives. I hope it doesn't get blasted to death."

"Picky."

Lin Yu's voice sounded lazily within the Consciousness Sea. "Only greenhouse flowers fear wind and rain. Since this orchid originally mutated due to the remnant Sinking Star Iron vein, it inherently carries the 'star attraction' property."

Hearing this, Su Ming fell into thoughtful contemplation. He activated the Like Water Art, condensing a drop of deep blue spiritual liquid at his fingertip, but this time he deliberately mixed in a trace of the surrounding Star Baleful Energy.The spiritual liquid dripped onto the roots.

The previously drooping orchid shuddered violently. The silver spots on its leaves suddenly lit up, like a greedy drunkard, instantly sucking the drop of spiritual liquid completely dry. It even stretched its leaves in an incredibly human-like manner, craning towards the sliver of starlight penetrating through the cave ceiling.

"Truly a life that thrives on hardship," Su Ming chuckled, deftly planting the remaining dozen or so spiritual plants one by one.

He specifically set up a miniature "Spirit Gathering Funnel" around the medicinal plot, not to gather energy, but to filter it. It filtered the violent stellar force into fine, dense needle-like threads, continuously stimulating the root systems of these spiritual plants.

"Speaking in biological terms, this is called induced mutation," Lin Yu commented. "The harsher the environment, the more potent the things that survive become. If you can cultivate this batch of Heart-Clearing Orchids into 'Star Dew Orchids' here on Gazing Star Cliff, then when your divine sense is exhausted in the future, this stuff will be a life-saving fast-acting medicine."

After handling the spiritual plants, Su Ming straightened his back and patted the dirt from his hands.

He walked to the center of the cave dwelling, surveying this spacious yet crude new home.
