Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life-Chapter 150: Formation Complete

Having thoroughly comprehended the true meaning of "Concealment," Su Ming felt as if he had pierced through a layer of window paper.

Previously, when he looked at those basic runes, it was like reading a celestial script; he could only memorize them by rote.

Now, looking at them again, each rune transformed into the most fundamental "principle" in his eyes.

"Repel," its principle was "exclusion," constructing an outward-facing, stable force field.

"Flow," its principle was "guidance," allowing energy to travel smoothly along a specific trajectory.

"Resonate," its principle was "sympathetic vibration," using one's own spiritual energy as a guide to vibrate in sync with the fluctuations of the external spiritual energy.

These problems that had troubled him for so long were now resolved with ease.

He was no longer constrained by form, but went straight to the core.

He spent only a short eight days to fully master the remaining few basic runes.

Thus, he had completely grasped all nine basic runes of the "Micro Soundproofing Formation" and the "Simple Breath-Concealing Formation."

"Not bad." Lin Yu's soul thought carried a trace of satisfaction. "The foundation is laid; now we can build the house."

"Disciple, today, your teacher will teach you the technique of formation superimposition."

Su Ming's spirits lifted, and he focused intently, listening carefully.

"So-called superimposition is not a simple piecing together. It is using one formation as the skeleton, incorporating another formation for its function, making them complement each other and become an integrated whole."

Lin Yu's soul thought materialized two formation diagrams in Su Ming's mind.

They were precisely his modified "Micro Soundproofing Formation" and the "Simple Breath-Concealing Formation."

"Look, the core of this soundproofing formation lies in the 'Absorb' technique, dissolving vibrations. The core of the breath-concealing formation lies in the 'Concealment' technique, blending into the environment."

"What you must do is find a balance point. Make the breath-concealing formation also 'conceal' the spiritual energy fluctuations generated when the soundproofing formation activates."

Su Ming immediately sat down cross-legged on the cleanest patch of greenstone floor in the center of the room and began his first attempt.

He first used the "Breath-Concealing Formation" as the base.

Spiritual energy flowed from his fingertips, and a rudimentary formation framework composed of the three runes "Concealment," "Flow," and "Solidify" slowly took shape.

Then, he took a deep breath and began embedding the runes of the "Soundproofing Formation" into it.

This was the most critical step.

Two different "principles," two different modes of energy operation, began to intersect and collide at his fingertips.

Fine beads of sweat instantly broke out on Su Ming's forehead.

He could clearly feel two forces repelling each other, like two stubborn bulls refusing to yield.

"Steady your mind!" Lin Yu's voice sounded in time. "Don't force the fusion! Guide it! Let the 'water' of the breath-concealing formation envelop the 'stone' of the soundproofing formation!"

Su Ming's mind stirred, and he immediately changed his strategy.

He no longer tried to twist the two forces into a single rope.

Instead, he divided part of his focus, controlling the power of the breath-concealing formation like a gentle stream of water, softly, bit by bit, enveloping that restless soundproofing formation.

Something marvelous happened.

The originally violent spiritual energy fluctuations, after being enveloped by the "water stream," truly began to gradually calm down.

It's working!

A flash of sharp light gleamed in Su Ming's eyes, and the spiritual energy at his fingertips suddenly accelerated!

The final rune was placed!

However, at the very moment the formation was about to be completed—

"Pfft!"

A faint sound, like a bubble bursting.

The composite spiritual light that had just lit up on the ground flickered violently a few times, then, like a punctured balloon, all the spiritual energy instantly dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

Only a few rapidly dimming etchings remained on the ground.

Su Ming panted, his face somewhat pale, not just from spiritual energy consumption but also from the exhaustion after such intense mental concentration.

"Expected." Lin Yu's voice was calm and unruffled. "The requirements for spiritual energy stability and total amount for superimposing formations are far beyond those of a single formation. The little spiritual energy you possess yourself is like a trickling stream, insufficient to support the simultaneous stable operation of two formations, let alone maintaining their delicate balance."

Su Ming was not discouraged. He closed his eyes to regulate his breathing for a moment. Once his mind and spiritual energy had recovered slightly, he began his second attempt.

This time, he was even more careful, his control over spiritual energy output refined to the extreme.

Guided by him, the runes of the two formations began their slow and arduous fusion once more.

Everything seemed to go smoother than the last time. That invisible barrier was vaguely taking shape, and even the surrounding air began to grow sluggish and quiet.

But just as success seemed within reach, another anomaly occurred!

"Hum... Zzz..."

An unstable, piercing tremor, like a lute string about to snap, emanated from the center of the formation. The originally stabilizing spiritual light twisted violently, as if being fiercely grasped and kneaded by an invisible hand!

"Not good! Local overload in the spiritual energy circuit, backlash is coming! Disperse it quickly!" Lin Yu urgently shouted.

Su Ming acted decisively, forcibly severing his connection with the formation. The faint burst of spiritual energy pushed him backward, and his chest felt tight.

On the ground, even a small patch of the greenstone floor showed fine, web-like charred cracks.

Su Ming looked at the traces of failure, his brow furrowed tightly.

Lin Yu clearly realized the problem wasn't with technique or understanding, but with "energy" itself. Su Ming's own spiritual energy couldn't support two formations.

"It seems we can't do without using some 'external force'." Lin Yu sighed. "Take out those two remaining low-grade spirit stones of yours."

Hearing this, Su Ming immediately and carefully retrieved the two warm, smooth stones containing pure spiritual energy from his personal storage space.

"In the path of formations, borrowing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use is the norm. Spirit stones are crystallized spiritual energy, the most stable and purest source of external force." Lin Yu instructed. "Place these two spirit stones at the 'Heaven' and 'Earth' positions you used when setting up the 'Three Powers Dust-Repelling Formation' before. Use them as the formation foundation to construct the energy core of this entire composite formation. Your spiritual energy will then focus on guiding and regulating, not serving as the main force."

Su Ming followed the instructions, carefully placing the two low-grade spirit stones in the specified positions.

The moment his fingertips left the spirit stones, he could clearly feel two stable, gentle, yet powerful sources of spiritual energy being activated, like drilling two deep wells into a dry riverbed.

He extended his fingers for the third time.

This time, the feeling was completely different.

When he inscribed the runes and guided the formation fusion, he was no longer solely relying on his own weak thread of spiritual energy to struggle along. It was more like holding reins, driving two docile yet powerful steeds.

The previous feeling of struggling inadequately, the critical point of collapse, disappeared. It was replaced by a sense of smoothness and stability.

The runes were outlined, the formations superimposed, everything proceeded as naturally as water flowing downhill.

When the final rune was placed, perfectly connecting with the energy core formed by the two spirit stones—

*Hum—*

A faint hum, almost inaudible.

On the floor in the center of the room, a composite formation with an intricate structure, composed of nine basic runes, suddenly lit up!

There was no dazzling light, no violent fluctuation.

The halo spread out silently towards the surrounding walls like ripples on water.

The moment the halo touched the walls, Su Ming's ears were abruptly struck by silence.

The world seemed to have had its mute button pressed.

The shouts of Zhang Meng practicing his fist and footwork outside the window, disappeared.

The *thump-thump* sounds of Manager Zhao chopping firewood in the courtyard, disappeared.

Even the *whoosh* of the wind blowing past the eaves, completely disappeared.

An absolute, pure silence enveloped his entire being.

Immediately after, he felt his own aura, his own sense of presence, being infinitely diluted within this space.

He felt as if he had turned into a stone, a speck of dust.

Success!

An indescribable surge of wild joy and a sense of security welled up in Su Ming's heart.

He finally possessed a corner that was truly his own, absolutely private!

However, just as he was about to share this joy with Lin Yu.

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Violent, door-splitting pounding suddenly erupted without warning!

Su Ming's heart gave a violent lurch!

"Su Ming! Open up quickly! My junior sister and I are here to listen to your stories!"

Outside the door came Qingfeng's loud, robust shout, delivered at full volume.

Su Ming's face instantly turned deathly pale!

"Dispel the formation! Now!"

Lin Yu's urgent soul thought rang out in Su Ming's mind!
