Sera and Lilu Lu caught a whiff of the delightful aroma of the tea and sniffed eagerly.
"It smells amazing!" Sera exclaimed.
Mu Sen nodded in agreement. "This tea has detoxifying properties and leaves a lingering fragrance on those who drink it."
After hearing this, Sera and Lilu Lu hugged each other and turned to Li Yunqing, seeking confirmation. They each wrapped their arms around Li Yunqing, pressing their noses against her neck and inhaling deeply.
"You smell fragrant too, Master! But there's something else mixed in that makes it even more delightful! Did you add something to enhance the scent?"
Li Yunqing raised her hand to her neck and took a moment to smell herself. Along with the tea's aroma, there was indeed another scent. "Hmm, it's my own scent," she said thoughtfully. "I understand now; it's the fragrance from something my mother gave me. Would you like some?"
"Yes, yes! It smells so good!" they chimed in unison.
Seeing their eagerness, Li Yunqing raised her hand and conjured a Light Sphere. She placed her hands on Sera's and Lilu Lu's foreheads to help them absorb the essence.
Mu Sen watched curiously as Li Yunqing manipulated the Light Sphere, feeling a twinge of unease. Suddenly, he received a message from the ancient tree behind him.
"They are not from our world."
"What does that mean?" Mu Sen wondered, but he didn’t dwell on it for long.
Li Yunqing glanced at the tree, recalling that it seemed to have received something from someone just moments ago.
"Analysis," she murmured.
Ah, so it was like that. The tree had become an extraordinary being in this world, attracting the attention of the World Consciousness. However, the World Consciousness remained dormant; the appearance of just one extraordinary being was not enough to awaken it. Instead, it merely granted the tree some knowledge and power as usual.
Li Yunqing wondered if there was a Kibou no Muzan. The power granted by the World Consciousness was essentially a mark; if one entered another world, the other World Consciousness would recognize that they did not belong to that realm.
Li Yunqing, with formidable strength, could effectively conceal the mark embedded in the power given by the Earth Consciousness. However, the marks given to Sera and Lilu Lu were different.
Thinking about this, Li Yunqing cast a concealment spell on the Light Spheres given to the two women. Feeling it was not entirely secure, he set up several additional concealment spells. This way, unless someone far surpassed Li Yunqing's strength, no one else, apart from themselves and the Earth Consciousness, would be able to detect which world they belonged to.
Sera and Lilu Lu stood still with their eyes closed, sensing the effects brought by the Light Sphere's power. They felt enhancements in various attributes and an increased adaptability to different powers, along with other benefits.
Before long, both women opened their eyes. The first thing they did was raise their hands to sniff.
"Huh? There’s a faint fragrance, but it’s not as strong as the master’s," they remarked, looking towards Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing shook his head. "I don’t know either; I just replicated a portion of the power. Perhaps my mother’s method is different."
"Is that so? Well, as long as it has some similarities to the master’s, that’s good enough!" Sera and Lilu Lu exclaimed cheerfully as they hugged Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing smiled and nodded before turning his gaze towards Mu Sen.
Mu Sen was staring at a large tree with vacant eyes, seemingly communicating with it.
Glancing at the tree, Li Yunqing noticed that it had accepted the gift from the World Consciousness and had changed somewhat; its aura had become even more profound. It was now approaching the essence of the Tree of Life.
Li Yunqing sighed in admiration.
Sera and Lilu Lu looked at him curiously. "What is the Tree of Life, Master?"
