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

Chapter 326 Everyone Speeds Up!
The iron dumbbell, which had been lifted up, looked at Lu Li with an innocent expression.

"It's too wasteful to give you this. You should eat this instead." Lu Li handed the pill to Tie Dumbbell.

Just kidding, the Divine Metal Membrane can be considered a divine object. Iron Dumbbell flaunts it like food. Even if he had unified the entire Kyushu Alliance, he wouldn't dare to waste it like that.

Moreover, he's quite poor right now.

Iron dumbbells were a little disappointed, but they still nodded.

The God Metal Membrane does taste good, but since the trainer said it's not to be eaten, it definitely shouldn't be eaten anymore.

After putting down the iron dumbbell, Lu Li continued to observe the Steelix.

Steelix can now be considered a proper "tank," especially with its new Ironclad ability. Steelix's physical defense was already ridiculously high, and with the addition of the Ironclad ability, its current physical defense can only be described as absurd.

Furthermore, Steelix can Mega Evolve, after which its physical defense reaches an astonishing 230.

What does this mean? Physical damage from Pokémon of the same level is ineffective against Steelix, and Steelix may even be immune to physical damage from Gym Leader level Pokémon.

Once Steelix's strength reaches the Gym Leader level, and with Mega Evolution, Lu Li dares to say that his Steelix is ​​invincible below the Champion level.

"It's perfect!" Lu Li exclaimed sincerely.

"Steel~"

(I also think I'm incredibly strong right now!)

Steelix nodded with great confidence. Compared to Onix's previous honest and docile appearance, Steelix now appeared much more ferocious.

That's a true steel behemoth!

"Steelcore, you should focus on developing your Ironclad ability, trying to be able to defend while also unleashing burst attacks." Lu Li arranged Steelcore's training.

Steelix is ​​positioned as a front-line tank, while also providing short bursts of physical damage.

Steelix nodded.

The trainer has already done so much for it, and it is confident that it can do even better.

Steelix spent half a month tirelessly in the volcano, just to create the perfect evolution tool for it. It saw all of this and kept it in mind.

"I will definitely become the strongest and live up to the trainer's kindness," Steelix secretly vowed.

Lu Li didn't know what Steelix was thinking, but he could sense Steelix's determination.

"Work hard!"

Lu Li patted the giant steel snake's body to show encouragement.

The giant steel snake nodded heavily, then turned and burrowed underground.

He's always had a grand dream: to drill through the Earth's mantle and train at the center of the world!
Having witnessed Lu Li's alchemy and weapon crafting, the giant steel serpent already had a bold idea in its mind.

That is to refine yourself as that artifact or elixir!

As long as you don't die from the training, train until you die. After all, with the elixir, there's no need to worry about any hidden injuries.

Lu Li was unaware of Steelix's determination, nor did he know that Steelix was preparing to give him a big surprise.

Lu Li looked helplessly at the Charizard that couldn't wait to emerge from its Poké Ball.

"I can give you the Fire Stove Mask, but you can't use it to improve your strength. You can only learn how to use the flames inside, is that alright?" Lu Li asked.

Although Egui Peng is a god, he is only a third-level god. Lu Li believes that Charizard's future will definitely be more than just a third-level god.

When it comes to its own future, Charizard knows what's important.

The fire-breathing dragon nodded quickly, indicating that it understood.

After the fire-breathing dragon repeatedly assured him, Lu Li finally took out the stove mask.

“This thing can only be used at home. If you go out, you have to hand it over to me, understand?” Lu Li warned again.

Charizard happily played with the mask in its hand, then nodded casually.

The reason I put my mask away when I go out is because I'm afraid of running into Ho-Oh.

Unlike other gods, Ho-Oh is notorious for being irresponsible, as evidenced by the sheer number of Rainbow Warriors.

If I were to actually run into Ho-Oh right outside, that would be a real disaster.

The game has already shut down and run away. If he falls into the hands of Ho-Oh, his fate will definitely not be pleasant.

…………

In the spiritual world.

"Humans have created yet another miracle," Groudon exclaimed.

Talebagos smacked his lips, looking thoughtfully at the projection of the giant steel snake.

Talebagos said, "This thing could be considered a demigod, right?"

The "god" here does not refer to power, but rather to a status or position.

Groudon nodded: "He only stole the last vestiges of the Iron God's power, but he can still be considered a demigod. His base stats are abnormal."

Groudon, as the god of the earth, knows Steelix better than Taleborg, the god of fate.

Steelix is ​​a Pokémon born from rocks, and can be considered a Pokémon conceived by Him, so He is the expert in this area.

"If this little guy can complete the Ground type, then it can be called a legendary Pokémon," Groudon added.

"Why don't you step in?" Talebagos urged.

Groudon shook its head: "It's too weak right now."

It wasn't that He was stingy, it was just the truth.

“Compared to this little guy, I care more about something else.” Groudon squinted at Talebagos, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes.

Groudon whispered, "The malevolent energy on the earth is increasing. If this continues, the earth may become unbalanced."

This is a very unusual occurrence. Based on His many years of experience, it is a sign that new life is about to be born, and the other party may not be a proper god.

Groudon didn't know if this had anything to do with the dead turtle in front of him, but as the god of the earth, Groudon hated the evil energy on the earth.

That stuff was like the grease on his skin; it didn't do anything wrong, but it felt really disgusting.

“War, protection, destruction, and hope—so many powers in one person, and born for battle. Do you think this new colleague was born to deal with catastrophe?” Talebagos asked mysteriously.

Groudon shook his head and sneered, "I don't know, but I do know... you're interfering with fate again."

Groudon always thought that the god Talebagos was doing something quite outrageous.

In theory, these gods are the embodiment of rules, representing a certain rule in themselves.

They should be the upholders of the rules, but this two-faced turtle is different.

This guy, as the embodiment of the rules, has been constantly altering the rules themselves.

This is similar to a referee personally playing the game and recklessly issuing red cards to the opposing team.

The main point is to expose a violation of regulations.

"You don't understand, this is fate..."

"Damn it!"

Groudon suddenly attacked, kicking Taleborg, who was about to deliver his charlatanic pronouncements, out of the Mind Realm. Now, anyone who dares to mention the word "fate" in His presence will be taught a lesson of true cruelty!
"Damn Voldemort! No wonder you can never fly." Talebagos cursed after being kicked out of the mind world.

After berating Groudon, Talebagos looked south with a conflicted expression.

He does not have the power to control the fate of a god, but He can influence or guide a god toward the direction He has arranged through other means.

But perhaps because the new god was too powerful, He found that He might be about to crash and burn.

Originally, He had wanted to persuade Groudon to act as Lu Li's henchman.

Unfortunately, that guy doesn't seem to have fallen for it.

"Sigh! Looks like I'll have to try other gods."

Ultimately, Talebagos still felt that his own god was more reliable, just like Egui Pong.

…………

After returning to the villa, Lu Li made a special trip to the training ground in the backyard to check on Wei and his apprentice Xiong.

Xiong's apprentice's strength is already close to that of a champion, and I believe it won't be long before he breaks through to the championship level.

Good news! With Xiong's apprentice's strength reaching the Heavenly King level, the opponent's strength improvement has finally slowed down.

The bad news is that although the opponent's strength improvement has slowed down, it is still incredibly unbelievable.

If the bear apprentice can advance to become a god, then there's no need to worry about the so-called bond; but if he's just a divine beast, then things will become particularly troublesome.

Mythical beasts are different from gods. Mythical beasts are essentially still spirits, and they also need so-called bond connections when fighting.

If a Pokémon's power increases too quickly and its bond system can't keep up, the Pokémon will fight at its own pace instead of fully trusting its trainer.

Then, when the bond is active, the trainer's protection level will decrease, making them more vulnerable to being killed.

Lu Li used to love encountering trainers like this because they were always right.

But if such a trainer is one of our own, then things get a bit complicated.

Lu Li didn't have a good solution to this, and neither did Wei. So Wei had to grit her teeth and keep training with Xiong, hoping to deepen the bond between them.

It's no exaggeration to say that Wei now practically lives and eats with Xiong's apprentice.

Even so, the bond between the two continues to weaken, but fortunately it is weakening rather than breaking.

Only when the bond is broken can a trainer be completely demoralized.

Freya looked at Vi and her apprentice Xiong in the training field with some concern, then asked Lu Li, "Can you find a way to suppress the speed at which your apprentice Xiong is getting stronger?"

Lu Li shook his head: "Even if I had a way, Wei would never agree."

Wei has a peculiar obsession with becoming stronger. Even if he had a way, let alone no one else, Wei wouldn't do it.

Vi always felt that her inability to keep up with her apprentice's pace of getting stronger was her problem, not his. If anyone had to take medicine, it should be her, the trainer, not his apprentice.

Hearing this, Freya's lips curled up slightly, and she sincerely sighed, "Now I understand why this little girl was recognized by the divine beast cub."

If you replaced her with Vi, she wouldn't try to suppress the speed at which her Pokémon grows stronger either.

To reiterate, if a trainer can't keep up with the speed at which their Pokémon are getting stronger, it's the trainer's problem, not the Pokémon's problem.

After a moment of silence, Freya suddenly said, "I want to take Boom as my disciple. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li gave Freya a strange look.

That look had only one meaning: "Are you worthy?"

This isn't an insult, nor is it sarcastic; it's the truth.

Boom's superpowers have already reached the champion level. If it weren't for the mask suppressing him, he would have broken through to the god realm.

In other words, Boom is actually a pseudo-psychic champion.

Both a trainer who reaches the Champion level and a Pokémon that reaches the Champion level can be considered Champion-level, so it's not wrong to say that Boom is a Champion-level trainer.

After all, wild battle trainers can personally engage in combat and unleash their formidable superpowers. Once unleashed, anything below the champion level is just a toy.

Freya is at best an Elite Four level trainer. If a battle were to actually take place in the wild, Boom would definitely be the victor.

Boom followed a similar path, focusing on overwhelming the opponent with sheer numbers.

"Don't even think about it. You're no match for Bao Bao, how can you be his teacher?" Lu Li rolled his eyes at Freya, who seemed oblivious to her own limitations.

Freya: "..."

"Am I not qualified? I'm teaching command skills, not superpowers!" Freya questioned.

Lu Li shook his head and sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, any fancy tricks are just paper tigers."

Your command skills are excellent, and you also possess powerful secret techniques, but what if someone is two levels above you?
You're going to hit me with your head?

Lu Li smiled and explained, "Let her be your junior sister. I'm looking for a master-level trainer for her. With Boom's talent, no master should refuse."

“We’ll have a bundled apprenticeship ceremony then, buy one get one free,” Lu Li added.

Freya felt insulted.

The offer of a bundled apprenticeship, a buy-one-get-one-free deal, clearly indicates that he was the one who was given away.

Freya, who was not only rejected as a disciple but also "insulted," left the training ground with a dark face.

What a wonderful man! Why does he only have a mouth?
Freya grumbled inwardly.

but……

If he really is a master of psychic abilities, then being sent away doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Just as Lu Li said, no superpower master would refuse a disciple like Bao Bao.

After watching for a while, Lu Li turned around and went into the basement.

Wei has been going crazy lately, so Lu Li decided to put aside everything else and take some time to help her.

The materials for the Body Tempering Pill are... but we couldn't find them. We can use Star Grass instead... and we also have to consider that the pills aren't for elves.

Therefore, the dosage of the elixir must be controlled, the potency of the medicine must also be controlled, and the digestive issues of humans must also be taken into account.

After working for most of the day, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh.

The body-strengthening pills that humans can eat have been successfully refined.

The effect of the Body Strengthening Pill is simple: it opens up the body's limitations, allowing the training effect to be multiplied.

The downside is also simple: this thing requires enough time and effort to digest the medicinal power, otherwise it will cause the medicinal power to accumulate and even produce erysipelas in the body.

The body-strengthening pills must be taken for a long time to be effective, but if not careful, long-term use can easily lead to erysipelas.

This thing is only really suitable for body cultivators, and it's best to stop using it after a while, which perfectly suits Wei's current state.

After refining about ten bottles of Body Tempering Pills for Wei, Lu Li then began to attend to his own affairs.

It's time to digest the fire-attribute fire crystal.

Although he hadn't cultivated much in the past two weeks, with the help of the tool god Egui Peng, his strength had already broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he wasn't far from breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
