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

Chapter 321 Stove Mask.

Looking at the piece of wood before him, Lu Li seemed to see an eternally burning flame, and within that flame, the phantom of a phoenix was crying out.

This thing has a name in the world of cultivation—the phoenix tree.

Of course, there are no phoenixes in the fairy world, only the Phoenix King, and the wood in front of you is not the paulownia wood of the cultivation world, but a kind of wood similar to paulownia wood.

"This is what Dream gave me. Because of this, He even closed the entrance to the world's secret realm," Egui Peng said, holding up the piece of wood.

The Phoenix King, who had just returned to its nest, looked at its burrow and fell into deep thought.

"Where is my home? My big home?"

His nest is not, but probably more like a magpie's nest, since mythical beasts can change size.

As for why the house is so small? Of course, it's because there aren't enough raw materials to make one.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the Phoenix King's originally kind and benevolent eyes.

If I find out it was done by humans...

Activating the Law of Fate, Ho-Oh quickly relived the entire process of its home being stolen.

A sleazy pink street urchin suddenly appeared, then ran off with his den...

"dream!"

Ho-Oh gritted its teeth, its eyes seemingly burning with flames. Ho-Oh burned the towering tree in front of it to ashes, then turned and headed towards the World Tree's secret realm.

The street thugs bullied the honest God! This time, He must get his revenge!

Ergui Peng had no idea how much Meng Huan had sacrificed for him, otherwise he would have been incredibly moved.

After all, the wrath of the honest god is the most terrifying.

Lu Li asked somewhat uneasily, "E Gui Peng, are you sure it's okay to use this thing to make a mask?"

Lu Li, who had watched the anime, knew that Phoenix King was not a magnanimous god.

What if Phoenix King sees the mask of the evil spirit and comes after him to cause trouble?
The most critical issue is that the Phoenix King in this world controls the rules and authority. What if it smells the scent and comes knocking on our door?
"Don't worry, this was given to me by Dream, and the wood has already been treated, so there won't be any trouble," Egui Peng assured him.

Lu Li accepted the paulownia wood with some hesitation.

This type of wood probably doesn't have a name in this world, so Lu Li gave it a more endearing name.

“Let’s go to your secret realm. We’ll get to work now. I happen to have some things to do, and I might need to trouble you for a bit,” Lu Li requested.

Ergui Peng nodded, then opened the entrance to the secret realm.

"Freya, you stay home and keep an eye on things for me. If you encounter any problems you can't handle, take Boom and the others and run. Remember, in this world, you can abandon everything except your own lives, even the Meltans," Lu Li instructed worriedly.

There was no other way; with the lessons of the past right before his eyes, Lu Li was also afraid that someone would raid his base.

After all, even a powerful being like Ho-Oh had its base raided one day, let alone an "ordinary person" like him?
“That’s right! If there’s any danger, run first, and we’ll get our revenge when we have time,” Egui Peng chimed in.

Freya nodded, deeply moved.

This was the first time she had ever felt so valuable, after all, those were six mythical beasts.

After saying goodbye to Freya, Lu Li, who had just arrived in the secret realm, couldn't wait to get to work.

With a master-level secondary profession, carving masks is practically a piece of cake. As for carving law crystals? That's a bit difficult, but still something anyone can do.

The materials that Erguipeng always prepared were actually extra, and the clever Erguipeng also took into account the issue of waste.

But with Lu Li, there are no mistakes, so he can always gain a lot of benefits when making masks.

Egui Peng also knew this, but He simply didn't care.

For Egui Peng, everything except the mask is external. If Lu Li wants to use it, why not take it all?
Lu Li knew this, so he was always very careful when carving masks, even though he was very confident.

Even the slightest mistake during the mask-making process can have unimaginable consequences for ordinary people, as the scraps from mask-making are enough to support the rise of a family.

Ergui Peng was also diligently assisting from the side.

The Egui Pong doesn't have many tasks; its main role is to act as a conduit for transformation, guiding the laws of transformation to descend and then infusing them into the mask, followed by infusing the power of the rules into the mask.

These are all simple, straightforward, and technically-free tasks, and Erguipeng is happy to do them.

He felt that Lu Li was too versatile and was born to be his partner. E Gui Peng even suspected that when the world conceived him, it had accidentally lost his other half.

And Lu Li is His other half, after all, the two of them are really a perfect match.

"Thank you again for the guidance of the God of Fate." Egui Peng silently thanked the two-faced turtle in his heart.

In the spiritual world.

Groudon's gaze was strange as it sensed the busy Luli and Evil Phantom.

"Are you sure this is just a level three god?" Groudon asked, puzzled.

Talebagos nodded with absolute certainty. As a god in his pantheon, how could he not know the opponent's strength?
"Why would a level 3 god have so many unique divine artifacts?" Groudon scoffed, somewhat incredulous.

"It's that water-attribute mask, and then another fire-attribute mask. Does this guy have 18 masks?" Groudon felt that Heraton was copying Arceus's 18 attribute panels.

Talebagos rolled his eyes at the other person: "Don't be ridiculous. You even suspected that Lu Li was Arceus's illegitimate son before."

Groudon said, "Then I now suspect that this thing is Arceus's bastard daughter."

Taile Bagos: "..."

“It shouldn’t be that outrageous. If nothing unexpected happens, this little guy should reach his limit with four masks,” Talebagos explained.

If it really is 18 masks, then Egui Peng is not a level three god, but a level one god or even a super god.

Groudon nodded. If that's the case, it's easier to accept.

"But this kid really does have some skill; he can actually assist a god in creating a unique divine artifact. I've always had a bold idea that I haven't put into practice yet, I wonder..."

Groudon watched Lu Li, who was busy at work, with a hint of eagerness in its eyes.

He wanted to further enhance his Crimson Orb, and Groudon thought that Luli might be able to help him do so.

"Don't even think about it. This kid isn't strong enough to create a level one unique artifact yet," Talebagos said, pouring cold water on Groudon's idea.

He knows Lu Li's methods best. Lu Li is indeed amazing now, but he is not strong enough yet.

"Alright." Groudon nodded, then continued watching Lu Li busy himself.

…………

One month later (the time spent in the secret realm).

Lu Li let out a heavy breath, and a brand-new mask gleamed with a crimson light in his hand.

The stove mask is complete!
The Fire Stove Mask has an effect on the Evil Spirit Phantom similar to the One-Hit Martial Arts Bear Master, which focuses on explosiveness, penetration, and one-hit kill.

If we say that the evil spirit under the well mask is a stick-like form that follows a combo attack style.

So, the Evil Spirit beneath the stove mask is a spearman who relies on a one-hit kill strategy. "Did it work? I can feel the incredibly explosive energy within the mask!" The Evil Spirit looked expectantly at the mask in Lu Li's hand.

"How about I put it on for you myself?" Lu Li looked at E Guipeng with anticipation.

Eruption nodded eagerly.

After receiving permission, Lu Li carefully put the mask on E Guipeng.

As the mask and the Evil Spirit merged, the Evil Spirit entered a fire-attribute state.

In its Fire Stove Mask form, Evil Phantom's attributes become Grass and Fire.

In this form, the Evil Spirit is still twice as vulnerable to the three attributes, but it can strongly resist the four attributes.

Most importantly, the Fire Stove Mask form of Evil Phantom becomes incredibly violent, which is almost Evil Phantom's strongest output form.

Similar to Ultraman Tiga's happy type.

Although confident, Lu Li still asked, "How is it? No unexpected problems?"

The evil spirit in the stove mask form nodded happily.

"I feel great right now. Compared to the gentle and weak water attribute, I prefer this explosive form," said Erguipeng happily.

"Lu Li, do you still have any enemies to deal with? Let's set off now, I can't wait." E Guipeng looked eager to go.

He now really wants to go and have a fight, and then continue collecting new mask materials.

"What comes after fire attribute? I can't wait!" Ergui Peng thought happily to himself.

Just then, Charizard emerged from the Poké Ball.

His eyes glowed and spewed fire as he looked at the Egui Pong with longing.

It seemed to see a flaming spear that could pierce through everything; the core of that spear was clearly of the grass attribute, yet it made the fire attribute even more powerful.

It likes this explosive flame that seems to pierce through everything.

Compared to the sacred fire left behind by the Phoenix, the Charizard yearns for its own flames to explode, pierce through everything, and burn wildly like the Evil Phantom before it...

The Charizard, with its extraordinary comprehension, looked on with longing in its eyes, as if asking, "Can I borrow this mask for a couple of days?"

Charizard pleaded, "If it's a battle, I'd like to watch from the sidelines."

"No problem, I'll definitely take you with me." Lu Li nodded.

As a trainer, he likes Pokémon that want to improve.

Charizard just wanted to improve, what's wrong with that?
"Ergui Peng, let's leave the secret realm first," Lu Li said after putting away the fire-breathing dragon.

Lu Li asked, "By the way, how much time has passed outside?"

"one day."

Lu Li nodded. He didn't ask E Guipeng why he didn't just pause the outside world, since a day wasn't too long.

After returning to the real world, Lu Li first found Freya and asked her to take Boom and the Wildfire Gang into the secret realm.

Then Lu Li set off for the Gan family.

He didn't know whether the Gan family's Melmeta was a divine beast or a god, but for safety's sake, Lu Li decided to have Freya lead the people into the secret realm first.

Lu Li, carrying the Evil Spirit Phantom, teleported to the Gan family's doorstep in an instant and chose to first try diplomacy before resorting to force.

After all, he still remembered how the Gan family had held back in the last battle.

"Please go and call your patriarch, and tell him that Lu Li has come to visit," Lu Li said to the two guards at the door.

Upon hearing the familiar name Lu Li, one of the guards quickly nodded.

The name Lu Li is quite familiar to the Gan family recently; in fact, it's practically a household name.

The Gan family has held countless family meetings to discuss their goal of becoming Rainbow Warriors.

The head of the Gan family was also completely bewildered when he received the guard's notification.

"Strange, the negotiation time shouldn't be up yet, right? And even if it is, the other party shouldn't be coming to our door, right?" The Gan family head, somewhat hesitant, quickly instructed the people around him, "Go and call the Grand Elder and the others over. Tell them that the Rainbow Warrior has come to our door in person."

He didn't know whether the Rainbow Hero came for destruction or for peace.

But he preferred the latter, because he had also heard rumors that the Rainbow Warrior could command the gods.

A short while later, the guard returned.

"Please follow me, sir." The guard led the way with utmost respect.

The guard is a Gym Leader, but he's quite old, at least 50.

He could become a security guard after the age of 50. Lu Li didn't know if this person had made any mistakes when he was young.

However, this at least proves one thing: the Gan family must be quite powerful. A gym leader guarding the gate—dojo-level trainers instantly elevate the family's prestige.
When the Gan family elder heard the news of Lu Li's visit, a bad feeling flashed through his mind.

He suddenly realized something quite serious: the other party might have ill intentions.

If the Rainbow Warriors really want to negotiate, the other side will definitely not be able to bypass the Alliance. Thinking of this, the Gan family elder said in advance behind everyone's back, "Let's prepare for battle. I'm afraid the other side has ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of fear crossed the eyes of a few elders.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is reflected in their actions, and the terror of the Rainbow Warrior has been proven by countless people.

Led by the guards, Lu Li soon arrived at the Gan family's reception hall.

Upon seeing Lu Li, the Gan family's eldest elder was the first to approach him, then asked with a smile, "You must be Lu Li?"

"Young man Lu Li, I apologize for disturbing the old man," Lu Li greeted politely.

Although they came to cause trouble, they still maintained the proper manners.

"Please sit down." The elder quickly invited Lu Li to sit down.

Only after Lu Li and the Grand Elder sat down did the others dare to sit down.

After sitting down, the elder asked directly, "I have long heard of your illustrious reputation, young hero. May I ask what brings you here in person?"

Upon hearing the title "Young Hero," Lu Li was speechless.

This isn't a martial arts world! If all else fails, you can call him "Handsome Guy" too.

Lu Li, inwardly scoffing, chuckled and said, "I'm here to resolve this trouble."

"As expected, it's about that matter." The Grand Elder was even more certain that Lu Li had come with malicious intent.

"There's no trouble at all. It's true that our Gan family went too far before. What would you like our Gan family to do to satisfy you, young hero?" the Grand Elder asked directly.

Meanwhile, three Elite Four level trainers and a Champion level Pokémon quietly left the Gan family.
