Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Is that alright?"

Mu Yun was also somewhat curious about the differences between the Tongyou Secret Realm and the Shuilin Secret Realm of the Liu family.

However, before he came, Liao Ding had also told him some precautions for going to the family's secret realm.

For example, don't wander around aimlessly after entering the secret realm.

"Others can't, but you can."

Liu Hesheng said, "Your physique is special, and your blood and energy are as vigorous as a furnace. Ordinary Ghost-type Pokémon dare not approach you. As for Miss Qu next to you, I would not recommend that you stay in this secret realm for too long."

This was the first time Mu Yun had ever heard of the idea that a strong physique meant one was not afraid of Ghost-type Pokémon.

But if only those with strong physiques are immune to harm, how did the Liu family manage to avoid it?

It's impossible for everyone to have a special physical condition.

Perhaps anticipating Mu Yun's doubts, Liu Hesheng continued:

"Of course, the physical requirements are mainly for outsiders. For example, our Liu family has lived with Ghost-type Pokémon for generations. Even those without awakened talents will have some ability to get close to Ghost-type Pokémon."

"This characteristic is possessed by most long-established aristocratic families, and it is one of the reasons why most aristocratic families specialize in a certain attribute."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun nodded.

This sounds like something that has been marinated in a certain attribute and then mistaken for one of their own by a spirit of that attribute.

"How about it, want to go shopping?"

Liu Hesheng spoke again.

Seeing Liu Hesheng continue to extend invitations, Mu Yun raised an eyebrow: "This isn't a task given to you by your grandfather, is it?"

Based on his understanding of Liu Hesheng, although he wasn't exactly lazy, he wasn't the kind of enthusiastic person who would invite people over and over again.

The continuous questioning clearly indicated that they had received a mission.

"You guessed it."

Seeing that Mu Yun had guessed it, Liu Hesheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then directly revealed his hand:

"Actually, it wasn't my grandfather, it was my ancestor, uh, the mother of this elf egg you received. She wanted to see who took her son away."

"But you don't need to worry. She's just concerned about her child's future and wants to see you."

Ancestor?

Gengar?

After listening to Liu Hesheng's words, Mu Yun understood and expressed his comprehension.

This isn't like those Pokémon in the breeding house that treat laying eggs as their main job.

Pokémon capable of producing champion-level offspring already face difficulties in reproduction, so it's normal to have some concerns after finally giving birth to one.

"Then let's go take a look, we have nothing else to do anyway." After Mu Yun finished speaking, he looked at Qu Ning who was standing to the side.

According to Liu Hesheng, Qu Ning does not seem to be suitable for staying in the Tongyou Secret Realm for an extended period.

"It's okay, I brought some protective amulets from home before I came."

As she spoke, Qu Ning took out something that looked like a lucky charm from her chest pocket.

At first, Mu Yun didn't pay much attention, but he took a closer look when the message appeared on the peace talisman.

..............................

[Spirit-Suppressing Talisman: A special lucky bag woven from the hair of a champion-level Absol. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits and increasing luck. Long-term use can calm the mind, refresh the spirit, and stabilize vital energy.]

..............................

"This is a lucky charm made by my grandma, and it works quite well," Qu Ning said.

No, what kind of big shot is your grandma? She can win the championship-level Absol hair weaving.

Mu Yun had initially thought Qu Ning was just a staff member Liao Ding had randomly hired, but now it seemed she must be a young lady from some wealthy family.

But why haven't I heard Lü Jiayi mention the Qu family?

Is it because there aren't any in the training camp?

"In that case, you should go and see the Pokémon egg first, and then I'll take you to visit the Ancestor. When you leave, you can take the Pokémon egg with you," Liu Hesheng suggested.

Mu Yun naturally had no problem.

Soon, the three of them arrived at one of the rooms in the hall.

The room wasn't big, but it was fully equipped.

Mu Yun glanced over and found that they were all very expensive machines.

Some control temperature, some control humidity, and some he doesn't even know exactly what they do.

In the middle of these machines was a fairy egg with pale purple patterns.

..............................

[Pokémon: Gastly]

[Special Bonus: 1. Champion's Offspring (Dual Descendants): Energy quality increased by 20%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 20%]

..............................

Well, this panel is really quite ordinary.

But Mu Yun didn't care. Even a Pokémon with ordinary potential would one day become a champion in his hands, let alone a Pokémon that already had champion potential.

"This Gastly egg was just hatched not long ago, and it is expected to take about another week to hatch."

Liu Hesheng explained.

After examining the elf eggs, Liu Hesheng led Mu Yun and Qu Ning out of the hall.

Almost the instant the door opened, Mu Yun felt a gust of cold wind blow in.

It wasn't the kind of cold wind that blows when the weather is freezing, but rather a kind of eerie wind that makes you involuntarily get goosebumps and feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Mu Yun had an exceptional physique and was equipped with a waveguide, so apart from feeling a slight drop in temperature around his skin, he did not experience any other abnormal sensations.

As for Qu Ning, who was standing to the side, she only frowned slightly because of the spirit-suppressing talisman, and did not seem to have any unusual feelings.

"Let's go, it might be a bit dark outside, we'll need to bring some lighting equipment."

Liu Hesheng picked up a searchlight from the side and handed it to Mu Yun and Qu Ning.

"Is your secret place underground? You even have to bring your own lights."

Mu Yun took the large searchlight and made a small complaint.

"Not quite, but pretty much."

Liu Hesheng smiled and then led the two out the door.

Almost the instant I stepped out the door, a dim sky came into view.

Mu Yun looked up at the sky, which was a dark red color, as if the afterglow of the setting sun had almost disappeared. There was little light, and not even a single star could be seen.

"The Hidden Realm is a rare hidden realm that is perpetually shrouded in darkness. From the time it was discovered until today, it has remained in this environment where the sun never shines."

Liu Hesheng explained.

"Is it this dark 24 hours a day?"

Mu Yun glanced at the dimly lit, almost invisible withered forest in front of him and squinted slightly.

"In fact, it's already quite bright."

Liu Hesheng said, "The Tongyou Secret Realm is actually divided into day and night, but the daytime in Tongyou is very dark, and the nighttime is even darker."

"At night, it's truly pitch black, comparable to an underground cave."

"But precisely because of this, the Hidden Realm has become the best gathering place for Ghost-type Pokémon. Even the Qi family's secret realm in the capital doesn't have such uniquely advantageous conditions!"

At this point, a rare hint of pride and self-satisfaction appeared on Liu Hesheng's face.

"That's great, it'll definitely impress you!"

Mu Yun nodded.

With such a secluded place suitable for Ghost-type Pokémon to live in, it's no wonder the Liu family became the number one Ghost-type family in the League.
