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

Chapter 323 God's Metal Membrane was banned after cheating.

With a casual wave of his hand, Ergui Peng, who had put away his thorny vine club, swallowed what appeared to be an endless silver ocean in one gulp.

Before Lu Li could even breathe a sigh of relief after the silver ocean disappeared, the face of the mask summoned by E Guipeng began to continuously ooze silver metallic fluid.

Upon seeing this, Egui Peng quickly clapped his hands.

The entire secret space transformed into a world of thorns and masks, with masks constantly enveloping the silver fluids, and thorns slowly entwining the spheres formed by the masks.

In no time, something that looked a bit like a sea urchin fell in front of Lu Li.

This is the thorny fruit ball that seals the Melu Meta.

Egui Peng explained from the side, "This metal divine beast is almost transforming into a god, so I have no choice but to seal it away."

Lu Li nodded. In this world, it seems that the only way to deal with gods is by sealing them. Even when a high-level god fights a low-level god, sealing is usually the method used.

"Can the metallic fluid that makes up the MeroMeta be used to make the mask you need?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Ergui Peng shook his head and then replied, "Of all the knowledge I have, there are only four methods for making masks, but we can give it a try."

"It's not that it's impossible, but rather that we can't be sure?" Lu Li pressed.

Ergui nodded.

Lu Li continued to press, "Is there any way for me to use Melmeta's body without breaking the seal? And without any side effects?"

Lu Li's intuition told him that Melmet's body was the most suitable material to make a metal membrane, but he was worried that using Melmet's body to make a metal membrane might affect Onix's consciousness.

"That works, wait a moment," said Erguipeng, and began to operate it.

A short while later, a long, sharp thorn appeared in the very center of the thorny fruit ball.

Egui Peng explained, "If you need to in the future, you can use this spike to drain part of Melmeta's body and power."

“His consciousness has been suppressed, and as for his body, that’s no longer important,” Egui Peng added.

Melmeta's will was suppressed by the authority of the Thousand-Faced God, and his body was sealed by the authority of the Thorns. As long as he opened the outer shell of the Thorn Fruit, Melmeta would not be able to break free of the seal.

Moreover, even if he accidentally broke the seal, it would only be Melmetta's body manifesting in the world.

After putting the thorny fruit ball into his storage space, Lu Li followed E Guipeng back to the real world.

This match was a complete rout. Whether it was a contest of pure skill or a contest of rules, Melmeta was utterly crushed.

Upon returning to the real world, Lu Li saw the Gan family's eldest elder standing beside the metal pool.

The pond was now empty of liquid metal, just like a deep pit.

The eldest elder of the Gan family greeted him respectfully, "My lord, you're back."

"Your god has been destroyed by me. Reaching godhood by absorbing companions is an evil path. Melmetta has now been punished by the true god." Lu Li said expressionlessly, then stared intently into the other's eyes.

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the Gan family's eldest elder, but fear was even more intense.

If they could kill Melmetta so quickly, they could wipe out the Gan family even faster.

The eldest elder of the Gan family readily admitted defeat, saying, "I understand. From now on, the Gan family is willing to follow you, sir, to atone for our sins."

The Gan family's eldest elder has now started to give up.

Anyway, the Fire Seed Project has already succeeded. Even if the other party is a god, it is impossible to completely eliminate the survivors sent out by the Gan family.

Secondly, he had already prepared for the destruction of the Gan family.

Putting himself in their shoes, the Grand Elder didn't think the Gan family could escape unscathed.

Lu Li's lips curled slightly upward as he saw the other person's will to die on their face.

Lu Li said jokingly, "This kind of pressure shouldn't be borne by you alone. Why don't you call over all the people in your Gan family who can make decisions?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart sank completely.

He knew that this evil brat wanted to wipe out the entire Gan family, but the Grand Elder was not afraid, even though he was prepared to die.

The Grand Elder nodded expressionlessly.

"Please follow me." After saying this, the elder led the way.

Upon returning to the guest room, Lu Li discovered that the number of people in the living room had decreased by one-third compared to before.

Lu Li wasn't surprised. After all, when disaster strikes, everyone flies away. It's normal for some people to run away first because they can't handle the pressure in this situation.

"My lord, all those in the Gan family who can make decisions have arrived at the scene," the First Elder said respectfully.

They were all prepared to die. Even the elves only brought their initial elves, and the others were forcibly driven away.

At their age, their relationships with their companions may be even deeper than their relationships with their families, and some elves are willing to live and die with them.

But both the Grand Elder and the Gan family head chose to release their spirits.

Lu Li glanced at the Poké Balls in the hands of these people without showing any emotion.

Most Pokémon only have two Poké Balls, and some even only have one.

Lu Li could practically guess where the other Poké Balls went.

Lu Li asked jokingly, "Are you so sure I won't let the Gan family off the hook?"

“We hope that you will show us mercy, but we dare not gamble our lives on your mercy,” the head of the Gan family replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled.

If you call these people cowardly, they dare to stand here and wait to die; if you call them brave, they released their spirits early on, without even having the courage to resist.

This is perhaps the way of survival for the aristocratic families in this world, but Lu Li is quite satisfied with it.

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Lu Li also had a headache dealing with those who were not afraid of death, after all, he was not someone who enjoyed killing others.

To reiterate, he cultivates immortality, not demonic arts.

“You are very lucky, I am willing to show you mercy.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at Lu Li in disbelief.

The Gan family head was equally astonished. He could swear to God that these were the warmest words he had ever heard in his life. He had never been this happy when the Grand Elder announced that he had become the Gan family head.

"You...you mean you're willing to let us go?" Elder Gan asked incredulously.

The First Elder did not completely believe Lu Li's words. He was worried that Lu Li was lying to them, and that his purpose was to lure back those people they had sent away so that he could wipe out the Gan family in one fell swoop.

Lu Li nodded.

Seeing Lu Lizhen nod in confirmation, the Grand Elder asked in a trembling voice, "My lord... what is the price?"

"If I remember correctly, it was your Gan family's ancestor who discovered the Iron Temple, right?" Lu Li asked, squinting his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the First Elder immediately thought of the Merutans in Lu Li's possession. Knowing that Lu Li coveted their family's inheritance, the First Elder seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

“Yes, our ancestor was the first to discover the Iron Temple, and he further plundered all the knowledge and heritage within it,” the Grand Elder quickly nodded in agreement.

Lu Li, equally eager, asked, "What is inheritance?"

"A method for making a divine metal membrane, and some knowledge on raising steel-type spirits."

"The Divine Metal Membrane?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow, then looked curiously at the Gan family's Grand Elder, waiting for his explanation.

It's not surprising that there's knowledge about raising Steel-type Pokémon in the Iron Temple. In the ancient times, temples were originally used to raise Pokémon and to worship gods.

Lu Li was more interested in the so-called divine metal membrane.

"The Divine Metal Membrane is a special method of making metal membranes. The effect of this metal membrane is that it can improve the aptitude of elves by 100%." ​​The First Elder of the Gan family honestly explained the function of the Divine Metal Membrane.

Lu Li said expressionlessly, "Let me see."

Upon hearing this, the eldest elder of the Gan family quickly took off his shoes, removed the insoles, and then took out the blueprints that were underneath the insoles.

"My lord, this is the method for making the Divine Metal Membrane." The Grand Elder presented it with both hands.

Lu Li glanced at the yellow paper in front of him with some disdain, then took the blueprint and began to look at it.

After reading it, Lu Li suddenly understood.

The Gan family's true core Pokémon are only two types: Steelix and Scizor, both of which require the use of Metal Coat.

The Gan family relied on divine metal to continuously optimize the aptitude of these two types of spirits, eventually forming the Gan family as it is today.

If this accident hadn't happened, and the Gan family had been given another hundred years or so to develop, they would very likely have been able to produce a continuous line of master-level elves.

The Gan family has already raised the potential of these two Pokémon to Champion level, and their average potential is even Champion level.

"No wonder your Gan family has become stronger with each generation; it seems to be because of this divine metal membrane," Lu Li remarked.

The elder's face was full of bitterness.

The main material of the God Metal Membrane is a metallic fluid assimilated by Melmetta. This stuff is produced in very small quantities, otherwise the Gan family's strength would only be stronger.

After placing the blueprints on the table next to him, Lu Li gently tapped the surface, pondering how to deal with the Gan family.

"call."

Lu Li let out a heavy sigh and then stood up from the chair.

Upon hearing this commotion, the Gan family members lowered their heads even further, looking like prisoners awaiting trial on an execution ground.

"Be thankful that you held back in the battle, so I will show you the same mercy. I want all the knowledge and heritage of the Gan family, as well as the annual tributes," Lu Li announced in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Gan family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

The group, relieved, said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

The so-called tribute is equivalent to the relationship between an ancient monarchy and its vassal states, roughly meaning paying protection money every year.

In this world, offerings include money, supplies, and most importantly, spirits.

The Gan family controls two high-potential Pokémon species, Steelix and Scizor, and can produce a considerable number of high-potential Pokémon eggs every year, which is the most valuable part.

"One-tenth of the resources are enough, but we need two high-quality Pokémon eggs every year, at least Elite rank."

Although the head of the Gan family felt that Lu Li's request was excessive, compared to the fact that the family was preserved, the request was not excessive at all.

The head of the Gan family nodded quickly: "Yes, sir."

"That's settled then." Lu Li put away the blueprints on the table, and the Evil Spirit slowly appeared at Lu Li's prompting.

"Is this the god that the adults command?" Everyone observed the strange creature with great caution.

Fire and Grass attributes.

The Gan family suddenly understood why their sacred beast had been defeated so quickly.

"Egui Peng, let's go," Lu Li said to Egui Peng.

Lu Li disappeared from the main hall, and the Gan family members silently memorized the three words "E Gui Peng".

"Whoo~"

"We actually survived." The Third Elder let out a heavy sigh, still feeling lingering fear.

The eldest elder of the Gan family also remarked, "The Rainbow Warrior is indeed kind."

Upon hearing this, the Gan family patriarch's lips twitched slightly. Although the Rainbow Warrior was kind, he was greedy!
Greed is something that shouldn't exist in Rainbow Heroes. Even those Rainbow Heroes who were emperors in ancient times did not have this obvious greed.

"Elder, should we call back the fire seed?" the Gan family patriarch asked.

The Gan family elder shook his head and said, "Summon some back, and then... the other part will continue to carry out the Fire Seed Project. We cannot entrust the family's inheritance to the mercy of others."

The reason why the aristocratic families in this world have been able to continue for thousands of years is because they have left enough contingency plans. Even if the main family is wiped out, their family lineage will not be interrupted.

This is still because the Gan family is "too young." True established families are not afraid of being wiped out because they can actually cut off one head and grow two more.

…………

Back at the manor, Ergui asked curiously, "Lu Li, can you really make masks with these metallic fluids?"

Lu Li shook his head: "This alone is not enough. We may also need a steel attribute law crystal."

Erguipeng assured him energetically, "No problem, we can go mining."

It's just mining, he's an expert at that.

"Lu Li, is there anything else urgent? If not, I'll go back and continue mining for law crystals," E Guipeng asked.

Lu Li shook his head: "It's nothing, you can go back to your work."

Ergui Peng nodded, but instead of leaving immediately, he said somewhat apologetically, "There's something else I forgot to tell you."

"What?" Lu Li looked at the Egui Peng who had not left, puzzled.

Egui Peng explained, "I might not be able to hear you when you call me lately because Dream has decided to seal off the secret realm. In that case, I'll have to come to you."

"The secret realm is sealed off?" Lu Li nodded thoughtfully, then reassured him, "That's alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Egui Peng, still worried, added, "Then remember to be careful."

Lu Li nodded. Without E Guipeng as his powerful backer for the time being, Lu Li certainly didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

What's this? The player's account was temporarily banned because they were using too many cheats?
Lu Li silently complained to himself, and he roughly guessed why that guy had sealed off the secret realm.

You stole Ho-Oh's house? How could it not come knocking on your door?
