Chapter 121: Chapter 52: A Pair of Eyes (Seeking Investment, Seeking Followers)
Qi Yunhan had mentioned before that the teleportation into the secret realm was random, and it wouldn't be strange to appear anywhere within the secret realm. If one's luck was really bad, it was even possible to be directly teleported into the lair of an elite-ranked beast.
Within the Nirvana Secret Realm, elite-ranked beasts weren't numerous; mainly juvenile-stage beasts were prevalent. Thus, the probability of such an unlucky teleportation wasn't high, maybe occurring once every few decades.
As soon as Lin Su entered the Nirvana Secret Realm, he quickly realized that he was likely that once-in-decades unfortunate soul.
After staggering from dizziness and regaining his footing, he found himself in a cave that was precisely the lair of an elite-ranked beast.
And not just one elite-ranked beast, but two!
And in the lair of these two elite-ranked pet beasts, there were also five or six juvenile-stage beasts!!
However, his situation wasn't so dire after all.
"Puchi~"
Poking the two elite-ranked Bright Light Groups that radiated a warm light and had a surface of fine fur that felt pleasant to touch with his finger, Lin Su's face carried a hint of eagerness to try.
If the juvenile-stage Bright Light Groups were only as big as a small pillow, just big enough to rest under one's head, then the elite-ranked Bright Light Groups were much larger.
The single-person-sofa-sized elite-ranked Bright Light Groups were even large enough for him to lie on top of them completely.
"Big guy, can I try lying on you?" Lin Su's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Without waiting for a response from the Bright Light Group, he lay down on it with a satisfied expression on his face.
There was a "puchi" sound as the Bright Light Group's soft body instantly caved into a "灬" shape, with the warm light shining on Lin Su's back, comfortable as if basking in the sun. The fine fur on the body of the Bright Light Group gently caressed the exposed skin of Lin Su's arms, neck, and other areas, providing an exquisite touch.
As a low-tier elite species beast with no attack skills and only a core skill called "Warm Light," Bright Light Groups were known to be non-aggressive. They were famous for their good temper. Although they were weak in strength, they were not used as food by other beasts, so few would attack them without reason.
After entering the Nirvana Secret Realm, Lin Su could clearly feel that every corner was filled with intense supernatural energy. As long as he entered a state of meditation, even without the help of the Space Heart, he could cultivate at a speed two to three times faster than usual.
Still, given that he could only stay for two days, he wouldn't waste this precious opportunity on meditation.
After a brief interaction with a few Bright Light Groups, Lin Su and Qiuqiu left the cave where the Bright Light Groups resided.
"Meow~ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (The big Bright Light Group is so much fun~)
Back in the Bright Light Group's habitat, Lin Su lay on one of the Bright Light Groups, while Qiuqiu used another as a trampoline, jumping up and down.
As soft-bodied beasts with no skeletal structure, such interactions did not discomfort the Bright Light Groups; on the contrary, judging by the flickering light from the two Bright Light Groups, they also enjoyed the game.
"When we get back, let's help the Bright Light Group in the yard evolve," Lin Su said with a smile. "Then you can play trampoline games with it every day."
Even though it was considered an elite species, the Bright Light Group was the weakest of the low-tier elites. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for them to grow into elite-ranked. Were it not for the category of juvenile-stage species, they might have been directly excluded from the elite species group.
The Bright Light Groups within the secret realm had likely advanced due to the realm's special growth-accelerating properties. The one in the Lin Family courtyard lacked such conditions and was still at the juvenile stage.
However, this problem was not difficult for Lin Su to solve. All he needed to do was concoct a light-element energy potion and combine it with a second-tier light-element supernatural resource, to easily advance a Bright Light Group to the elite stage.
"Meow!" (Trampoline!)
"Alright, let's discuss this once we're outside," Lin Su coughed lightly and wrapped up the conversation. "Now that we're in the Nirvana Secret Realm, we should get on with the main task. We could be attacked by beasts at any time here, so we must stay alert."
"Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)" (Understood!)
Qiuqiu nodded and lightly hopped onto Lin Su's head, settling down. Its large ice-blue eyes brimmed with intense frostiness. With the augmentation from its level II Frost Eyes, it could see everything in the vicinity clearly.
Qiuqiu brand scanning radar!
Lin Su took out a map from his Space Ring and, under Qiuqiu's vigilant watch, began to study it with confidence.
The Nirvana Secret Realm had been in the control of the Southern Domain for many years, so maps of its interior were naturally abundant.
According to the original plan, Lin Su needed to take Qiuqiu to the Nirvana Pool to complete its evolution and then, with an elite-ranked Qiuqiu, proceed to the locations where supernatural resources were known to appear, to gather various supernatural resources as their haul from the Nirvana Secret Realm.
To achieve this goal, he first had to determine their current location.
Lin Su was surrounded by tall trees that seemed fitting for wood-element pet beasts, and on the map, such an environment was only found in one place.
Quickly pinpointing his own location, Lin Su shook his head in resignation. "Qiuqiu, it looks like our journey to the Nirvana Pool won't be so smooth."
"Meow?" (What happened?)
"Look," Lin Su pointed to a certain area on the map and then moved his finger toward the most conspicuous marker. "We should be in this forest right now, and the Nirvana Pool is over there. Even if we go straight through, we'll have to exit the forest and then cross the snowy mountain inhabited by ice-element beasts to reach it."
