Chapter 410: Peace of Mind, Steady the Way!

Su Ming gently rubbed the ring’s rough surface with his thumb.

“Master, I just picked up some karmic ties,” he muttered inwardly, his tone carrying a hint of self-mockery he barely noticed himself, “If you were awake, you’d probably scold me for being a hopeless do-gooder, meddling in other people’s business again.”

There was no lazy, complaining voice to answer him.

Still, gazing at the deep night beyond the window, the corner of his mouth gradually lifted into a very faint arc.

He understood.

If Lin Yu really were awake, that old fellow would definitely roll his eyes wildly in the Consciousness Sea, then in that tone that was half exasperated and half secretly pleased say:

“Stupid apprentice, remember, we cultivate the Way of Survival, not the way of death. The Way of Survival is about staying alive, not becoming a cold, lifeless rock. As long as you haven’t exposed your hand, I’ll shoulder this bit of karma for you!”

Su Ming shut the window and returned to the wooden bed to sit cross-legged.

This time, he circulated his liquid spiritual energy more steadily and smoothly than before.

Peace of mind, steady the way.......

The next day, morning.

Dawn was just breaking, and heavy clouds still pressed over Wind Crossing Ferry, giving the town an air of suffocating gloom.

Su Ming finished a night of meditation and opened his eyes. There was no trace of fatigue in them; as long as a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s spiritual energy wasn’t exhausted, ten days or half a month without sleep was no problem.

He had just stood up and was about to smooth his slightly wrinkled teal robe.
