Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 295 Can I Make a Water Hanging Scroll?

Upon finding the exit of the secret room, Ike realized that he was in a tower, and he was at the very top of the tower.

Standing by the window, Ike gazed into the distance.

This is a tower that is over 400 meters tall.

"Phew! Be careful, we should be able to get back." Ike encouraged himself.

With the power of ideals, even if this is a high-level secret realm, Ike is confident that he can leave alive.

…………

Lu Li wasn't heartbroken that the villa was destroyed; what pained him was the supplies left inside.

Fortunately, he had made a storage ring in advance, and most of his belongings were stored in the ring, otherwise he would have really lost a lot of money.

Adhering to the idea that out with the old, in with the new, Lu Li decided to rebuild the villa and expand it as well.

For this reason, Lu Li specifically asked Qu Tongtong to find the top construction company in the southern region.

Lu Li decided to upgrade the villa into a manor, which Yao Yifei strongly supported. Wei didn't object either, since he was focused on training.

The only requirement is that the new manor should have a better training ground.

The beautiful manager, wearing black-rimmed glasses, said respectfully, "Young Master Lu, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."

Lu Li nodded, indicating that the other party should speak if they had something to say.

“Although our company can build an ecological training ground, the construction cost is very high, and the maintenance cost is also very high. Are you sure you want to build an ecological training ground?” the beautiful manager asked again to confirm.

“Money is not a problem.” Lu Li nodded.

He doesn't lack money now. If he really did, he could just go to Qu Tongtong and exchange secret treasures or elf eggs for money.

"The price of one type of ecological training ground is about 20 million yuan, and eight types would cost 160 million yuan. The annual maintenance cost would also be as high as one million yuan," the beautiful manager continued to explain the shortcomings of the ecological training ground.

“I can accept this.” Lu Li was not deterred by the astonishing price. He had already learned about this when he decided to build the ecological training ground.

The beautiful manager nodded and continued, "Then we have no problem with that. However, since you are going to build eight ecological training grounds, we suggest you simply build a small ecological park instead."

“The price of a small ecological park is about the same as that of eight ecological training grounds, but if you combine the two, the cost will only be around 200 million yuan, and even the annual maintenance cost will be the same.”

“Then let’s build another ecological park.” Lu Li nodded.

After arranging the construction plan for the manor, Lu Li devoted himself entirely to the elf training program.

Over the past few days, Lu Li hasn't assigned himself any tasks. Instead, he's been working on improving his teamwork and understanding the changes in Charizard's strength.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Although the ecological training ground was not yet completed, the villas were already ready for occupancy.

Lu Li prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate moving into her new home that very evening.

In the past, Vi would definitely have become a glutton, but since the last attack, Vi has been somewhat absent-minded about everything except training to become stronger.

She was even somewhat distracted when faced with the food prepared by Lu Li.

This attack made Wei realize how weak she was, and she put in even more effort in training.

However, hard-working athletes cannot compete with naturally gifted athletes.

Although the bear apprentice is a divine beast, that's after its evolution. Before its evolution, the bear apprentice was just like any other beast.

After all, the bear apprentice's base stats are only 385.

That night, Wei, determined to become stronger, finally knocked on Lu Li's bedroom door.

Lu Li, who had just finished studying, looked at Wei with a puzzled expression as he left the room. A girl knocking on a boy's bedroom door late at night made Lu Li think of some inappropriate things.

To be honest, Wei isn't his type.

Wei has a great figure, but "great" here doesn't mean sexy; it means athletic. Also, Wei is too androgynous.

He didn't even touch Yao Yifei, let alone Wei.

"Come in." Lu Li made room for him.

Wei silently went into the bedroom.

Wei clenched her fists nervously, then asked cautiously, "I remember you said that my bear apprentice is a legendary mythical beast."

Seeing that the other party wasn't there to lust after his good looks, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Wei wasn't there to offer comfort, since he's not a man who knows how to refuse.

"To be precise, it is the evolved form of the bear apprentice that is a divine beast," Lu Li explained.

A look of confusion flashed across Wei's face.

Lu Li countered with, "Have you ever heard the story of the Diamond Princess?"

Wei nodded. As a typical Westerner, even though she was a tomboy, Wei had heard the story of the princess of the Diamond Kingdom.

After all, which girl didn't dream of being a princess when she was little?

Lu Li explained, "Although Diancie, known as the Diamond Princess, is a divine beast, she is actually a mutant with small diamond fragments."

"what?"

Upon hearing this secret, Wei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The fact that Diancie is a mutation of small diamonds would cause a sensation in the academic world if this were to be revealed.

After the initial shock, Wei suddenly realized and asked, "You mean my bear apprentice is like a small diamond?"

Lu Li shook his head: "No, Diancie is a mutant of Little Diamond, but Martial Arts Bear Master is not a mutant of Bear Disciple, but an evolved form."

Hearing this, Wei breathed a sigh of relief, after all, evolution is always easier than mutation.

"How should the bear apprentice evolve?" Wei asked excitedly.

"Have you ever heard of martial arts in the Kyushu region?" Lu Li continued to give an irrelevant answer.

"Martial arts in the Kyushu region? I've heard of them, but I've never actually seen them."

Wei shook his head. As a Fighting-type trainer, he had certainly heard of martial arts in the Kyushu region, but the transmission of that kind of thing was through a lineage, just like the secret techniques of various families.

Everyone in the world knows that martial arts greatly enhance Fighting-type trainers, but 99.999% of Fighting-type trainers worldwide have never considered using martial arts to improve their Pokémon's strength.

The secrecy surrounding martial arts lineages is almost as high as the secrecy surrounding secret techniques held by major clans.

Lu Li didn't hide anything and directly stated his guess.

"I can only say that if Xiong's disciple wants to evolve, he must embark on the path of martial arts, and he must achieve something in the path of martial arts, at the very least to the level of a grandmaster."

"Martial Arts...Martial Arts Bear Master..."

After carefully reading Lu Li's words, Wei seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing Wei deep in thought, Lu Li did not disturb her.

In anime or games, the evolution requirement for a bear apprentice is to learn the martial arts styles on the Water Scroll or the Evil Scroll.

But in the real world, it's not necessarily the case. He had never heard of any Martial Arts Bear Master, not even from Egui Peng. So there's only one possibility: Martial Arts Bear Masters may never have existed in this world. Perhaps the so-called Water Scroll or Evil Scroll simply doesn't exist.

However, based on speculation from the anime, the appearance of the Martial Arts Bear Master must be related to the true meaning of martial arts. If the first Martial Arts Bear Master can wield authority, then it may be a partial authority over martial arts.

To be honest, Lu Li actually wanted to raise a bear apprentice as well.

Lu Li comforted him from the side, saying, "Don't be too anxious. I'm already helping you find martial arts lineages in the Kyushu region."

Wei nodded, knowing that her current mindset was not right, but the thought of Bao Bao being taken away in front of her made her unable to calm down.

Speaking of martial arts...

Lu Li suddenly remembered something.

Before he transmigrated, he had learned some boxing techniques for a period of time, but it was all for performance purposes.

Since he began cultivating immortality, his memory has improved considerably, and he remembers the last fist technique very clearly.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Lu Li's mind.

Perhaps there's something we could try.

Thinking of this, Lu Li stood up abruptly.

"I've thought of something. I'm going into seclusion now. Don't rush things with my apprentice, I might come up with a solution soon."

Once in the basement, Lu Li eagerly took out an A4 sheet of paper and began drawing on it.

Bajiquan is similar to the "one-strike style".

Wing Chun is essentially a combo-style martial art.

If I can master these two styles of boxing and capture their essence in a painting, then could my disciple Xiong evolve through this painting?

As for the power of law?

This is not difficult. As the God of a Thousand Faces, Egui Peng can easily draw upon the power of the laws and then integrate it into the painting.

Just like when he made the well mask last time, Egui Peng used the crystallization of water-based laws to integrate the laws and rules of water into the mask.

The most troublesome thing now is probably the matter of the law crystals.

Moreover, this is just an experiment, and it's uncertain whether it will succeed.

As for the artistic conception of boxing techniques...

Lu Li wasn't too worried. As a master-level immortal performer, he could completely integrate the essence of martial arts into his paintings by playing the role of a martial arts master.

The "Evil Scroll" representing a one-hit kill style is definitely not going to work, since he doesn't have any Evil Crystals right now.

However, the Water Scroll, which represents the combo style, is different. There are still some Water Crystals left over from the last time that Egui Peng gave us. Now, if Egui Peng is willing to come and help, this matter might be resolved.

If this really happens, he will create a god with his own hands. Although this may seem like he is pushing things along, so what?
Thinking of this, Lu Li wished he could summon E Guipeng right now.

But this is not something you can do on a whim; you have to at least repeatedly confirm whether the plan is feasible.

The treacherous and mysterious should not be used lightly, after all, they are also very busy.

Avoid doing things that will lower your favorability rating. If you make Egui Peng's trip for nothing, it will be a loss.

Let's verify the first guess first.

Whether I can successfully portray a martial arts master and integrate the true meaning of martial arts into the painting remains to be seen.

The essential tool for the Fairy is the God Mask. Then, she uses unknown methods to collect and seal away the spiritual energy that people reveal when worshipping gods.

When necessary, just act it out. Act until others believe it, act until you believe it yourself, act like a god with yourself, and become a god with yourself.

This is the professional ability of the immortal musician. However, Lu Li is acting as a martial artist while cultivating immortality, which is an act of the lower realm and does not require the power of the will of sentient beings.

The creation of the divine mask was also very complicated, and that was certainly the case before encountering the Evil Spirit.

But after encountering the Egui Pong, making the divine mask became as simple as eating and drinking for Lu Li.

The God of a Thousand Faces, or even the God who controls masks!
With the forbidden knowledge bestowed by this being, if he can't even achieve the elven transformation of a divine mask, then he might as well go find a crooked tree to hang himself.

The materials for the divine mask are very simple; it doesn't require rare woods, ordinary trees will suffice. The difficulty lies in the pigments.

However, there was a lot of paint left over from making the well mask last time, which is more than enough to meet the needs of making the god mask.

After summoning Iron Dumbbell and having it guard the door, Lu Li began making the God Mask.

However, what can be considered art is most vulnerable to being suddenly disturbed. If external factors disturb the inspiration, it will be difficult to continue.

The creation of the divine mask took a full six hours, and it was not until four o'clock the next morning that the divine mask was successfully made.

The mask for portraying the Wing Chun master is finished; the next step is to test whether I can get into character.

"I am Ip Man, the master of Wing Chun!"

"I want to hit ten!"

There was no other way; the only person Lu Li knew about Wing Chun was Ip Man, so he could only act according to Ip Man's style.

As to whether Ip Man himself was actually the master of Wing Chun, that's not really important.

Once he got into the zone, Lu Li seized a fleeting inspiration and quickly picked up a sheet of Xuan paper to draw the exquisite moves of Wing Chun.

As Lu Li continued drawing, he realized that something was amiss.

After Lu Lixin finished writing with satisfaction, he looked at the boxing techniques on the paper with great satisfaction.

"Ok?"

Lu Li frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

This is not a painting of Wing Chun, but a martial art he has never seen in the real world. To be precise, he has only seen this kind of thing in anime, and he himself would never know it.

"How did Wing Chun turn into Flowing Water Rock Breaking Fist?" Lu Li was full of doubts.

He was absolutely certain that the character he had played before was Ip Man, and the Wing Chun master Ip Man at that, definitely not Bang from One-Punch Man.

The eyes are tangible, expressive, and meaningful; the only thing they lack is the flow of principles.

We need to call on the Evil Spirit to help with this.

The so-called infusing of laws into paintings is actually connecting laws and words together, ultimately transforming them into part of the world's rules.

That's how the well mask of the Evil Spirit came about. The only difference is that when the well mask became part of the world's rules, it also became part of the Evil Spirit.

Considering that E Guipeng had just left, Lu Li ultimately didn't have the heart to call him back.

Looking at the time, Lu Li realized it wasn't dawn yet, so he decided to study the Meltans in the basement.

The nuts and bolts became increasingly shiny, even gleaming silver under the light.

Most importantly, these nuts and bolts have already given birth to faint life essence, which means that God is being conceived.

Unfortunately, these Mertans do not possess any aura of authority or rules, meaning they are merely divine beasts, not true gods.
