Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 347: Old Matters

"Finally, I can sleep soundly now."

Su Ming turned and walked back into the cave, flicking a hand seal behind him.

The stone door at the cave entrance closed silently, and then, even the outline of the door vanished amidst a distortion of light and shadow, as if there had never been an entrance there.

Inside the cave.

Su Ming walked over to the stone bed where a meditation cushion had long been laid out and sat down cross-legged.

"Let's test the effects."

He closed his eyes and began circulating the Like Water Art.

This time, the feeling was completely different.

Previously during cultivation, he had to laboriously capture and purify the spiritual energy. Now, with the formation in operation, the spiritual energy within the cave dwelling was like tamed sheep—docile and dense.

With just a gentle inhalation, that spiritual energy, carrying the coolness of the stars and the weightiness of the earth, rushed eagerly into his meridians.The water spiritual energy surged within his body. With each completed circulation cycle, Su Ming could feel that "resistance" was far less than when he was at his old residence.

"Efficiency has increased by at least thirty percent."

Su Ming opened his eyes, sensing the abundant spiritual energy within his dantian. "Moreover, this spiritual energy seems to have an extra trace of... resilience."

"That's the result of Star Baleful Energy tempering," Lin Yu said. "This formation is like a pressure cooker, crushing the impurities within the spiritual energy, leaving only the most essential parts. Cultivating in this environment for one year is equivalent to three years outside."

Su Ming let out a long breath of turbid air, his entire body relaxing completely.

Starlight flowed within the cave dwelling, and the earth energy was warm and moist. This small world finally had the stability of a "home."

A memory was suddenly illuminated.

That dusk after moving, everyone sat on the ground. Two jugs of cheap wine were produced. Without cups, they took turns drinking straight from the jugs.

"Down this mouthful, from now on we're following Senior Brother Su!" Zhao Tiezhu had shouted, his tongue thick.

Amidst the boisterous laughter, someone knocked over a wine jug. The amber-colored wine spread across the bluestone slab, like some clumsy mark.
