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

Chapter 308 The Genius Who Was Delayed

Articuno isn't a particularly powerful legendary Pokémon, after all, it's one of the few legendary Pokémon with a herd, but the Articuno in the Snowfield Secret Realm is different.

Because that was the original Articuno, the Articuno that held the reins of power.

Such beings are the greatest asset simply by staying in the secret realm and not actively attacking humans.

The Kyushu and India regions have been constantly at odds over the Snowfield Secret Realm. During the Z-Move Disaster, the Snowfield Secret Realm fell into the hands of the Indian region.

However, with the establishment of the alliance in the Kyushu region, and the subsequent recapture of the Snowfield Secret Realm, the Indians were naturally unwilling to accept this. But the alliance's momentum had already been established, and the Indians had no choice but to endure it, even if they were unwilling.

But things are different now. After the collapse of the Asian Union, India has seen renewed hope in seizing the Snowy Secret Realm.

"A master-level trainer must be stationed in the Snowfield Secret Realm, and they must also be able to face challenges from trainers from India at any time." The league president, with his hands supporting his chin, stared intently at the people in the conference room.

The alliance leader's meaning was simple: it was time for the powerful families to contribute.

The Leng family is undoubtedly the one most concerned about the gains and losses of the Snowfield Secret Realm, so the Alliance President's attention has always been on the Leng family representative.

Seeing that everyone in the conference room seemed indifferent, the Leng family representative had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My Leng family's master-level trainers can go and guard the Snowfield Secret Realm, but during this period, the right to use the Snowfield Secret Realm must belong to our Leng family."

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it first. The alliance leader knows this, as do the representatives of the other families.

Even representatives of the commoner faction did not stand up to refuse. No matter which family they belonged to, even those ancient clans, master-level trainers were the foundation of their clans.

Losing a master-level trainer means that one can only defend the city and can no longer strive for advancement.

The Kyushu Alliance's goal was simple: to use the snowy region to hold back the Leng family. Even though the Leng family knew the Kyushu Alliance's intentions, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and try this poisoned icing.

The alliance leader added, "Next, the Lee family of the Korean Alliance asked us for help yesterday. The Yamato Alliance is preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to seize control of the Korean Alliance."

The Li family is also one of the eighteen major attribute families in the Asian Alliance, and in fact, their strength ranks among the top in the eighteen major attribute families.

Even such a powerful family could not possibly fight against the entire Yamato Alliance on its own.

"Who is willing to go and provide support?" the alliance leader asked with a smile.

The Long family representative sneered, "Shouldn't he go find his father, Amei?"

"How can you be sure? Did he not go to the American Alliance?" the Alliance President asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone present understood the unspoken message.

The eldest son beats the younger son. Although the eldest son is a rebellious son, the American Alliance clearly hopes that this eldest son can cause some trouble for the Kyushu Alliance.

So it's normal for you Americans to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

The alliance leader said, "Since no one is willing to provide support, let's put this request for assistance on hold."

Now is definitely not the best time for the Kyushu Alliance to act; it should be when the Korean Alliance is defeated.

Next, the people in the conference room started discussing their current roles.

After the collapse of the Asian Alliance, the Kyushu region was in dire straits.

The main adversary is definitely the Indian alliance, but the Yamato alliance and the Golden Triangle alliance are also constantly making underhanded moves behind the scenes.

Especially in the south, things are becoming increasingly turbulent.

The only saving grace is that a divine messenger emerged in the southern region, so that when things truly reach a point of no return, the divine messenger will still be a trump card.

…………

Lu Li received a thank-you call from Aunt Liu Li early in the morning.

After returning home, Director Du immediately halted all plans targeting Zhongli Ecological Park, and even suspended plans targeting the Yu family.

Lu Li was quite indifferent to this matter. That Master Du was also a smart man. Since the other party had admitted defeat so thoroughly, he was too embarrassed to continue to cause trouble for him.

Around noon, Principal Wen called to share the good news.

The alliance approved all of Lu Li's requests.

Whether it's expanding into new cities or dealing with the Pokémon eggs, the Alliance doesn't dare to make things difficult for Lu Li.

However, building a new city is not something that can be done overnight.

The first problem to be solved is the population issue.

However, Lu Li never even considered solving this problem, since in this world, it's not just humans who represent productivity, but also elves.

If humans don't live in that city, elves can come and live there; it's the same.

Lu Li was quite open-minded about this.

The next step was to start acquiring land, and Lu Li already had a plan in mind for this.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Li couldn't wait to call everyone over to announce the good news.

Even Freya was surprised when she heard that Lu Li wanted to open the city gates, not to mention Yao Yifei, even though she already knew about Lu Li's plan.

But Yao Yifei was still very excited when he heard that Lu Li had succeeded.

Wei was equally excited. She had followed Lu Li since before he became wealthy and had witnessed him grow up to where he is today.

Although this time was very short...

Freya asked in confusion, "Is the Kyushu region really this competitive now? Even a divine messenger like you has to open your own city."

It's no wonder Freya asked that question. As someone who grew up in a capitalist alliance, Freya's nature is to prefer plundering wealth rather than creating it.

Therefore, they don't understand Lu Li. Lu Li could have occupied a city with productivity and wealth accumulation, but instead he has to work hard to develop a new city.

"Because my new city will be built in this location." Lu Li took out a map of the Qingyun Mountains and pointed to a spot on it.

Yao Yifei leaned closer to take a look, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Are you planning to build the new city next to the Water Stone mine?"

Lu Li also explained with a smile, "It's not just the Water Stone vein; this location just happens to cover the entrance to the Ninth Generation Secret Realm, and it's also far enough away from the depths of the Qingyun Mountains."

"There's a water stone vein here? How big is it?" Freya asked curiously.

In any world, when describing someone as wealthy, people usually say, "Does your family own a mine?"
Abundant natural resources represent wealth. If the Water Stone vein is large enough, it can indeed bring enough wealth and even population to the new city.

Yao Yifei explained, "Even the most vulnerable ones are large water stone veins; we've even found water gems inside."

Since they got busy, she and Wei have been in charge of mining the Water Stone vein. Compared to Lu Li, Yao Yifei knows the Water Stone vein even better.

"A large water stone vein? And it even has water gems?" Freya's eyes lit up.

Freya exclaimed sincerely, "That is indeed a rare and precious treasure." "The presence of a Water Stone vein means there is no shortage of water resources, and since it is close to the Azure Cloud Mountains, it can also meet the needs of common elves."

Freya's eyes lit up as she spoke, realizing that Lu Li had excellent taste; this was truly a chosen place.

The only drawback of this place is that transportation is not very developed, but that is not a drawback. In the world of elves, transportation is the least important issue.

“But wild elves are also a problem, as are the elves within the secret realm,” Yao Yifei said worriedly.

A Pokémon swarm caused by wild Pokémon is manageable; with her Gym Leader level strength, she can easily suppress it. But a Pokémon swarm caused by Pokémon is a different story.

As the Great Bird has already stated, the Ninth Generation Secret Realm is a super-large Secret Realm, which may even contain multiple Master-level Pokémon.

A wave of Pokémon of this size would require at least two Master Trainers to stop, or perhaps a Pokémon like Urgot to intervene.

But wild elf tides won't tell you in advance when they're coming.

Lu Li said confidently, "Although there is some risk, it is still controllable for us. Egui Peng is fully capable of suppressing the elf tide of the ninth generation secret realm."

Freya said worriedly, "But the Great Natural Bird said that there might still be gods in the Ninth Generation Secret Realm. What if the gods invade reality? We might be the first ones to suffer then."

Lu Li took this kind of thing in stride and calmly comforted her, "Even if we don't build a city there, if there really is an elf tide of that scale, we'll be the ones who suffer."

Freya: "..."

“Actually, I could have chosen a city with a small or medium-sized secret realm as my family’s territory, but such a small place cannot satisfy my ambition,” Lu Li said with utmost seriousness.

He's a man who wants to build a huge family and live forever as its patriarch.

When choosing a family territory, one must naturally choose a good location. Can't you hear that all those immortal cultivation sects like to occupy blessed lands and grotto-heavens?

Are blessed lands without danger? They're only more dangerous, but what's a mere risk to one's life compared to the enormous profits involved?
“I have no objection. After all, the location you chose is indeed quite good. The only risk is the Ninth Generation Secret Realm, but the Ninth Generation Secret Realm is also a huge opportunity.” Yao Yifei strongly agreed with the city location chosen by Lu Li.

The existence of a new type of Pokémon similar to Ultra Beasts is enough to raise the value of the Ninth Generation Secret Realm to an immeasurable level.

The power of Ultra Beasts is something that almost every trainer in the world has witnessed.

Lu Li finally made the decision, saying, "Let's do it this way. The alliance will send officials over in a couple of days, and they will be in charge of the construction of the new city."

There was another major reason why Lu Li chose to establish a new city.

That means the alliance is responsible for all materials and human resources, and even if the alliance can't do it, the Qu family will provide some support.

That's the point.

Is there any need to agonize over which to choose between getting a city for free and getting a city of your own shape for free?

Lu Li added, "Freya, you'll be responsible for driving away the elves and protecting the construction team as they develop the city."

Freya nodded. As a newcomer, Freya wasn't very willing to do this kind of security guard work, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Lu Li.

"Then can you tell me what kind of spirits you have? I'll arrange the pills for you," Lu Li continued to ask.

"What kind of pill are you talking about?" Freya asked, feigning confusion.

He had already discovered the existence of pills, after all, Yao Yifei and Wei did not avoid him when they fed the elves with pills.

In particular, the pills used by Yao Yifei's Sun Elf were so tempting that even the Natural Bird was tempted. If she hadn't stopped it, the Natural Bird might have already started to snatch them.

Yao Yifei proudly boasted, "That's a secret medicine from my Lu family. It's 100 times more effective than ordinary energy cubes, and it's even equivalent to a continuously usable Elf Treasure."

Lu Li smiled and didn't stop Yao Yifei from showing off his divine power in front of everyone.

Freya asked, "The effect is so amazing? It must be very expensive."

"The cost isn't high, it's about the same as the cost of a high-level energy cube," Lu Li explained from the side.

"Using the cost of advanced energy cubes to create a sustainable elven treasure?" Freya looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

Freya had already been cursed, so he wasn't worried at all that she would betray him, and there was no point in hiding the matter of the pills.

Freya murmured, "Then I'm so lucky."

Freya suddenly felt a little ashamed. Since joining, she had been receiving benefits from Lu Li without having made any contributions.

"It's just a security guard, I'm going to be one!" Freya vowed to herself.

Yao Yifei urged from the side, "Introduce your partner. Pills, like those top-tier energy cubes, need to be custom-made."

Yao Yifei, who already considered himself Mrs. Lu, wasn't jealous. After all, Freya was now Lu Li's subordinate, and the stronger Freya was, the stronger the Lu family would be.

Freya would actually be happy if her strength could increase.

Freya nodded, and then released the Pokémon from the Poké Ball.

Natural Bird, Crimson Armored Knight, Gothic Lady, Flame Horse (Special Form), Demon Fire Red Fox, Gem Starfish.

They are all Psychic-type Pokémon, and none of them have a secondary type.

It's worth mentioning that Freya doesn't have any Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolution. What Lu Li is more curious about is that Freya actually has Crimson Armor Knight.

The strongest Natu has already reached the late Elite Four level, while the weakest is Rapidash, which currently only has the late Gym Leader level strength.

Lu Li asked, "Have all your spirits used spirit treasures?"

Freya nodded: "Except for Rapidash, all the other Pokémon have used Pokémon Treasures, and some have even used them twice."

Lu Li nodded.

This is normal. Freya's background is not as good as those of the top noble families. The fact that she has the strength of a Champion at this age means that her Pokémon must have used Pokémon treasures.

and……

Lu Li activated his spiritual vision again.

Among Freya's Pokémon, the one with the best potential is Starmie and Red Fox, which has Champion-level potential. The other Pokémon have already reached their potential.

Even a natural bird's aptitude is only at the Heavenly King level.

"What a waste!" Lu Li sighed with some regret.

Freya's situation was similar to Yao Yifei's, but Freya's was slightly better. She hadn't gone down the wrong path; it's just that the aptitude of her Pokémon was almost at its limit.
The North American League is really wasting talent. A genius of Freya's caliber should have at least one Pokémon that can break through to the God Realm, right?
The one with the highest potential was the Crimson Fox, and it's possible that the Crimson Fox broke through its own limits during the evolution process, which pushed its potential to the champion level.

Perhaps the original aptitude of the Crimson Fox was also at the Heavenly King level.
