Chapter 135: Mu Qianqian and the Tranquil Mystic Realm (Part 2)
Upon entering the wooden cabin, Li Qian's expression immediately became even more perplexing. Inside, there was only a bed and a blanket, nothing else.
Even though he trusted Mu Qianqian, at this moment, Li Qian couldn't help but suspect what her intentions were for bringing him to this small cabin.
"Sister Qianqian, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Li Qian looked at Mu Qianqian, who was smiling brightly, and couldn't help but have some impure thoughts.
With Mu Qianqian's appearance, figure, and being at the most mature and charming age for a woman, if she really had any intentions towards Li Qian, he felt that he would most likely not resist.
"What are you thinking? Sister doesn't even look at you, a little kid!" Mu Qianqian chuckled and quickly walked over.
She came to the side of the low bed, lifted the blanket, and threw it aside. Then, she pressed a spot on the bed board.
With this press, a creak sounded, and a gap instantly split open in the bed board, revealing a stone staircase entrance.
"So, the entrance is here." Li Qian's face showed a wry smile of helplessness as he witnessed this scene, feeling that the mysterious atmosphere had led him to have wild thoughts.
"If there wasn't an entrance here, why would I have called you over?" Mu Qianqian looked at Li Qian with a smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Li Qian sighed, agreeing with his mother that when he was out in the world, he had to be able to resist temptations. He didn't believe that Mu Qianqian had made all this mystery without any intention to tease him.
In the end, it was his youthfulness that was at fault, having just recently come of age, and he couldn't see through the teasing tricks of these older sisters.
Without pausing, Mu Qianqian continued in a half-smiling, half-serious tone, "Otherwise, what else could I have called you here for?"
"Yes, what else could it be for? It must be because the entrance is right here." Li Qian went along with the flow and spoke up, "It's just a bit hidden, so people wouldn't have expected it."
Mu Qianqian didn't expose Li Qian's thoughts, and without waiting for his response, she continued, "Here, as one of the entrances to the Tranquil Mystic Realm, if it wasn't hidden, it would eventually be discovered by outsiders, and that would be troublesome. So, some necessary disguise measures are still necessary."
After speaking, she turned to Li Qian and asked playfully, "What do you think, Li Qian?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he couldn't help but inwardly scoff, deciding that he should minimize his interactions with these older sisters in the future, as it was a bit overwhelming.
Despite his inner thoughts, he outwardly agreed, "I think Sister Qianqian's reasoning is very sound. Such an important entrance naturally needs to be well-disguised."
"Well, if there wasn't an entrance here, why would I have called you over?" Without giving Mu Qianqian a chance to speak again, Li Qian turned his attention to the stone staircase entrance.
Seeing this, Mu Qianqian's lips curved into a faint smile, and she led the way into the stone staircase entrance, with Li Qian closely following behind.
As they entered the stone staircase, the interior was a bit surprising to Li Qian. It wasn't gloomy or dim; instead, the top of the staircase was adorned with unknown stones that emitted a soft glow.
Noticing Li Qian's curious gaze at the stones, Mu Qianqian explained, "These stones are called 'Parrot Stones.' In bright places, they appear as dull as dust, but in dim areas, they emit a gentle radiance. The Five-Colored Parrot loves to collect these stones, and that's how they got their name."
Li Qian nodded in understanding and agreed, "Indeed, it's quite fascinating." Then, following Mu Qianqian's footsteps, they continued deeper into the staircase.
As they walked, the light grew brighter the further they went. After about ten minutes, they reached the end of the staircase.
At the end, there was nothing else but a layer of light membrane emitting a misty glow. The increasingly bright light they had experienced while descending the staircase originated from this membrane.
"We're here." Mu Qianqian pointed at the light membrane and spoke. Then, she held out her palm, and a golden yellow leaf had appeared in her hand at some point.
Li Qian glanced at the light membrane and then at the golden yellow leaf in Mu Qianqian's hand. It was a Banyan leaf, likely the key to entering the Tranquil Mystic Realm.
According to Li Qian's knowledge, the so-called mystic realms were often formed from the Beast Companion spaces left behind by powerful Beast Companions after their demise.
These spaces did not overlap with the real world but were more like dimensional planes, existing in different dimensions.
To enter and exit these spaces in different dimensions, one needed either a stroke of luck or... possession of a key item from the same dimension.
These key items were also known as "space keys," and the golden yellow Banyan leaf in front of him was likely one of them. He wondered if it had any connection to the "Pine Saint" Mu Qianqian had mentioned earlier.
Without hesitation, Li Qian took the golden yellow Banyan leaf from Mu Qianqian's hand and, following her footsteps, stepped into the light membrane.
As if passing through a ripple that separated worlds, Li Qian found himself in a strange space the next moment.
In this space, there were no rivers, lakes, mountains, or celestial bodies, but the light was bright, and its source was unknown.
The space contained only a forest, an endless forest filled with various trees, some reaching heights of over a hundred meters.
"This must be the Tranquil Mystic Realm!" Li Qian exclaimed with curiosity as he looked around.
Mu Qianqian continued walking forward and called for Li Qian to catch up. As she walked, she explained, "The mystic realm is not much different from the outside world. It's just a small, independent space."
"Of course, since most mystic realms are formed from the Beast Companion spaces left behind by senior Beast Companions, the internal rules governing them are somewhat different from the outside world."
Without pausing, she led Li Qian deeper into the dense forest, "For example, this space we're in now is the Tranquil Mystic Realm of our Mu family. It was formed from the Beast Companion space left behind by a Sage Spirit level ancestor of our Mu family, who possessed the Beast Companion talent of 'Master of Wood.' Therefore, the Beast Companion space he left behind is ideal for the growth and development of high-potential wooden companion beasts."
She continued, revealing some of the Mu family's secrets without reservation, "The reason our Mu family has been able to thrive and pass down through generations is because of this Tranquil Mystic Realm. It provides us with an endless supply of high-potential, quality wooden companion beasts. It's just a pity..."
