Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 348: Escape Route

Leaving the Repair Hall, Su Ming didn't hurry back to Formation Peak. Instead, he turned a corner and came to a stop beneath a secluded covered bridge.

He took out that wooden box from his chest and gently opened it.

The lid opened, but no brilliant treasure light spilled forth. Only a cold, metallic scent rushed to meet him.

On the black velvet lining, thirty-six steel needles were neatly arranged.

The needles were as thin as ox hair, their entire bodies showing a dark bluish-green hue that spoke of being tempered a thousand times. On the tail of each needle, within an extremely tiny space, was carved an ancient, simple character: "Repair."

These needles had no spiritual energy fluctuations; they were not magical implements.

But Su Ming could tell at a glance that this was "hundred-fold refined steel" repeatedly folded and forged, stripped of all impurities, relying purely on physical hardness and sharpness to achieve the pinnacle of lethal weaponry.

"This thing is quite interesting." Lin Yu's voice sounded in his Consciousness Sea. "No spiritual energy attached, divine sense can hardly sweep them. If paired with your 'Dripping Water Force' or magnetic control, they'd be an absolute master at ambushing people. These rough fellows have surprisingly delicate minds."

Su Ming extended his index finger, his fingertip gently brushing over that row of cold needle points.

To polish these thirty-six steel needles, who knew how many days and nights were spent, how many good pieces of steel were wasted. This was the Repair Hall brothers' most unadorned way of wanting to protect him, their "leader who had flown up the branch."They knew that as Su Ming climbed higher, the dangers he faced grew greater. They couldn't help much, so they could only offer this hidden weapon for his sleeve.

"Master."

Su Ming closed the wooden box, storing it close to his body. He felt that trace of coolness seeping through his clothes, yet his heart was filled with warmth.

"What?"

"This place will always be my retreat."

Su Ming looked towards the distant, continuous cloud-wreathed mountains, saying softly, "As long as the Repair Hall remains, I am not alone. If one day I fall from above, at least there is still a place where I can peacefully repair a table or mend a formation plate."
