Chapter 375: Recasting the Broken Jade

The cave dwelling was terrifyingly quiet, broken only by one or two faint insect chirps coming from somewhere unknown.

Su Ming slowly raised his left hand and looked at the unremarkable Xuantian ring on his index finger.

After a long moment, he took the ring off, wiped it on his palm, then solemnly slid it back on.

His movements were slow and meticulous.

"Master."

Su Ming lifted his head. The trace of hesitation and fear in his eyes was crushed at this moment by a kind of resolve. "If I really can't hold on, if my consciousness collapses... don't bother saving me. Use the formation's power to push the ring out. It should be able to get out."

Lin Yu was stunned for a second.

Then he raised his hand, intending to give the brat a hard smack on the forehead, but his palm passed through Su Ming's brow, stirring only a cool breeze.

"Nonsense."

Lin Yu spat an insult. "I finally raised you this far, and I haven't even seen you take care of me in my old age yet. Want to die? Not on my watch."He floated higher, looking down at Su Ming with supreme arrogance, the pride of a modern soul and the confidence of a reclusive master.

"You survived that old woman's soul-search in the Heart-Questioning Formation, and you crawled out of a pile of corpses at Iron Wall Pass. Foundation Establishment is just a formality!"

"Keep your heart in your belly."

Lin Yu pointed to the flickering runes around them. "I revised this formation. I set this procedure. If this fails, how am I supposed to keep my rep in the ring world?"

Watching his master's 'I'm-number-one' swagger, the tightness at the corner of Su Ming's mouth finally loosened a fraction.

"Yes."

Su Ming drew a deep breath, formed the hand seals, and adjusted the rhythm of his breathing.

"Time's up."

Lin Yu glanced at the skylight.

It was late at night; the Zi hour was approaching.

Yin and yang within heaven and earth were interchanging, a moment when the earth veins' spiritual energy was most active and also most easily guided.
