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

Chapter 385 Reopening the Imperial Path?

Li Feng never imagined that she would one day become a pillar of the Du family.

The husband died; this should have been a sad news.

Moreover, the family's elders were gone, and even the family's foundation disappeared along with the secret realm.

This was also a terrible piece of news, but Li Feng inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Because she discovered that, apart from a Master-level Pokémon, the strongest trainer in the entire Du family was actually herself.

The first wife is a high-level Pokémon breeder, the second wife is a Pokémon scholar, and the third wife is a trainer.

In the family meeting room, Li Feng looked at Du Yao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Yao'er, doesn't the Du family have any high-level trainers who are out on missions?"

Du Yao's face darkened.

Putting aside the past, even if it were just a day ago, if Li Feng, this concubine, had dared to call him that, he would have definitely asked her who she was, daring to address him like that.

Does she really think of herself as my mother?

But that won't work now, because the other party is now among the top trainers remaining in the family.

The Du family will still need Li Feng's help and even support.

“Yes, stepmother.” Du Yao nodded with a dark face.

"So, are we really going to hand over our family fortune?" Li Feng asked with some reluctance.

Things are different now. Li Feng is confident that she will get the lion's share of the profits in the future. It can be said that half of the wealth that Du Yao gave away belongs to her.

"We must hand it over; our Du family can't hold on to it now." Du Yao's face was full of bitterness. Now that the family has suffered a sudden and severe blow, if possible, he would naturally want to keep those family assets to support the family's comeback.

Unfortunately, reality doesn't allow it.

Du Yao said apologetically, "I've discussed it with my family, and we plan to have my sister go to see that official with the sincerity of the Du family. Ideally, we'd like to have her stay by his side."

Du Yao felt somewhat ashamed, because because she had not awakened the power of control, Du Qiangwei had never enjoyed very good treatment at home.

Now the family wants Du Qiangwei to sacrifice her own happiness, which is indeed hard to talk about.

But for the sake of his family, Du Yao had no choice but to make this decision.

He didn't have much of an impression of his younger sister, Du Qiangwei, because she hadn't awakened any power of control, which meant that she could only be a tool for a political marriage.

Now, it's estimated that no one in the Du family looks up to them anymore, and they've given up on any hopes of marriage alliances. So, Du Yao thought of the culprit who caused all this—Lu Li.

Whether she becomes a concubine or a maid, Du Qiangwei represents the sincerity of the Du family.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng narrowed her eyes and her first reaction was to refuse outright.

However, Li Feng quickly realized what was going on.

This is no sacrifice, it's an unprecedented opportunity!

Who is Lu Li?

Rainbow Warrior! God-level Trainer! A trainer standing at the top of the pyramid, capable of deciding the life and death of the Du family.

If Rose could become that man's woman, wouldn't that be a kind of progress?
Normally, such a good thing would mean you wouldn't even be able to get a chance to see Rose in line.

After all, it wasn't just the Du family patriarch who had a daughter; the First Elder also had a daughter, and the Second Elder also had a daughter...

Having made up her mind, Li Feng said firmly, "I agree to this on behalf of Qiangwei, but I must personally supervise the entire process of you showing 'sincerity'."

If we don't show enough sincerity, what if our daughter suffers at the hands of that adult?
Li Feng instantly changed her stance.

The Du family patriarch's wife?

Feel sorry!

Now that I'm that man's mother-in-law, I have to keep an eye on his assets for my son-in-law.

Du Yao nodded. He knew his stepmother's concerns, but he had no intention of doing anything underhanded, so he wasn't afraid of being monitored.

…………

Inside the Lu Family Manor.

When they saw Lu Li come out of the basement, Yao Yifei and Long Ying both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Yifei asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Lu Li smiled and shook his head.

Long Ying also moved closer to Lu Li, asking with great anticipation, "So, you won?"

"I'll grab it with my hand." Lu Li said smugly, his right hand making a fist.

"Great! Tell us the whole story quickly." Long Ying happily pulled Lu Li's hand and led him to the sofa.

Yao Yifei also sat down next to Lu Li, and looked at Lu Li with anticipation.

"Here's what happened..." Lu Li began to recount the events.

"I never imagined that sir was actually a first-level god. Does that mean you're now practically an ideal hero?" Long Ying asked excitedly.

She had thought Lu Li was a powerful figure, but she never imagined he was this powerful.

Originally, it was thought that Lu Li could control a third-level god, but now he has directly controlled a first-level god and defeated the arrogant Du family.

That's a first-level god!
Throughout human history, those who have been able to command first-level gods in battle have generally suppressed an era and created an unprecedentedly powerful empire.

Yao Yifei also took a deep breath, and then exclaimed, "Unbelievable."

After expressing his feelings, Yao Yifei asked seriously, "So, what are your plans to do with the Du family?"

While it's possible to wipe them out completely, it's certainly impossible to eradicate them completely.

The Du family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has long been integrated into human society. If Lu Li were to eradicate the root of the problem, the result would only be to sever the main branch of the Du family, and it might not even be possible to completely sever it.

Lu Li replied indifferently, "The same as the Gan family, but worse off than the Gan family."

Long Ying also suggested from the side, "The Du family's power and connections are still useful. Although they have lost their top combat strength, if we support them, the Du family might become a very useful tool."

"That's what I think too, but only if they're smart enough not to do anything underhanded behind my back." He's only giving them one chance. If the Du family doesn't know what's good for them, then wiping out the main branch of the Du family won't hurt.

"Alright, that's all for now. I might have to go into seclusion for a while. I'll leave the Du family's assets to you two." Lu Li stood up from the sofa.

He gained a lot of inspiration from Tao Dailang's poisonous sticky cake, and Lu Li decided to continue his in-depth research on the poisonous sticky cake after feeding Milerton.

If things go smoothly, the Du family may never be able to recover.

In Millerton's room, Lu Li placed the new sandwich made with poisonous sticky cake in front of the boss.

Milton's slightest move greatly shocked Lu Li.

Lu Li no longer dared to underestimate others as he had before.

Even though he's injured, he's still your grandpa.

Millerton frowned at the sandwich in front of him; it looked rather ugly, a purple-black color. "Hopefully it suits my taste," Millerton thought to himself, then picked up the sandwich from the plate and began to eat.

The dark purple sandwich melted in his mouth, and Millerton's eyes lit up. He then looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

Is this the true value of being the world's number one chef?
Why are there such delicious sandwiches in the world?
Thank God for allowing me to meet this human being.

Milton almost cried tears of joy, but that didn't stop him from turning into a glutton and devouring all the sandwiches on his plate.

After finishing his meal, Millardon remarked, "I wish all sandwiches would be this delicious from now on."

“If you like it, then we’ll change the sandwiches to this kind from now on,” Lu Li said with a gentle smile.

This guy is also a big shot now, so we have to serve him well.

Millerton nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

This is the correct way to use a tool; that guy Tao Dailang doesn't understand anything at all.

Millerton, who once again despised Tao Dailang for his lack of vision, lay down again and lazily squinted his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Li also took the plate and left the room.

Considering that he might have to go into seclusion for a while, Lu Li specially gave Yao Yifei the sandwiches he had made in advance and told her to remember to feed Milerton on time every day.

Upon hearing that he could feed a level-one divine beast, Yao Yifei immediately agreed.

"Um... could I have this mission?" Long Ying asked timidly from the side.

Milton is a dual-type deity with both Electric and Dragon attributes, and Long Ying, a Dragon-type trainer, was extremely interested in Milton.

If she could take this opportunity to build a closer relationship, and if she was lucky, the favors that Milton might secretly bestow upon her and her elves would benefit them for life.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li searched for a moment and then said, "Then you two can take turns doing it every day. Just remember not to offend Millerton."

Long Ying nodded quickly, and Yao Yifei had no objection to it either.

After all, Long Ying was indeed a better match for him as a "caretaker" than she was; at least their attributes were a good fit.

Back in the basement, Lu Li couldn't wait to examine the fragment of will he had separated from the poisonous sticky cake.

If a normal person eats Tao Dailang's poisonous sticky cake, they will be permanently poisoned, and the poison can even be passed on to the next generation.

In the world of cultivation, this would be considered a standard bloodline incantation.

Curses are part of this profession, and there are many bloodline curses. Lu Li had never thought of studying these evil and unorthodox methods before.

It wasn't that he was so noble as to disdain using such unorthodox methods; it was simply because he couldn't find the "key."

Ordinary mark-type spells are fine, and while spirit transformation is more difficult, it's not too difficult.

But bloodline spells are different; before today, there was practically no clue whatsoever.

But things are different now. The sticky rice cake is like a key, and with the key, opening the door is much easier.

Lu Li wanted to upgrade the Loyalty Mark to the Loyalty Bloodline Mark. In Lu Li's vision, this new bloodline spell would be the same as Tao Dailang's power of control.

The curse will be passed down through bloodline inheritance, and those who have been cursed by him will forever be loyal to Lu Li.

Just like how the Du family has been dominated by Tao Dailang for generations.

Willpower...

While this thing exists in the cultivation world, normally speaking, willpower and soul are not closely related, so very few people in the cultivation world study willpower.

After all, willpower and soul power are similar. If you can study the soul, why would you study willpower?

But the world of elves is different; in the world of elves, willpower can even be materialized.

Therefore, Lu Li plans to combine the strengths of both to create a new bloodline spell.

Alliance Headquarters.

The alliance president, who received the news last, sat silently in his office with a gloomy expression.

He knew that the Du family was plotting against Lu Li, and he was paying close attention to it.

Like most people, he didn't think Lu Li could win.

According to his previous plan, if the Du family wins this time, he will lead other powerful families to take the opportunity to attack the Du family and make them suffer heavy losses.

But now the Du family has lost, and they've been completely defeated.

The Du family, those poor and spineless fellows, actually submitted directly to Lu Li.

Lu Li hasn't broken the rules yet; on the contrary, he's a victim, and the Du family has also joined the victim's side.

The original plan no longer needed to be continued. The Du family had indeed suffered a huge loss. When the young man made such an outrageous request to the Du family, and the Du family agreed, he knew that there could only be one winner this time.

Seeing the silent chairman, the secretary-general cautiously asked, "Chairman, should we continue to hold the Du family accountable?"

Upon hearing this, the alliance leader immediately cursed, "What the hell are you asking! The Du family is willing to be their dog and offer up all their assets. What's the difference between continuing to target the Du family and targeting the Rainbow Hero?"

If Lu Li had only threatened to take advantage of the Du family's wealth, they could have continued to plunder them afterward. But the problem is, the Du family is now acting like Lu Li's dogs.

These days, even if someone beats a dog, they have to consider its owner.

"Forget it, let's not worry about the Du family anymore. I just want to know why the ideal messenger and the real messenger from the prophecy haven't appeared yet?"

"If no one steps in to curb that young man's momentum, I even suspect he might reopen the Emperor's Road." The Alliance President looked at the documents on the table with concern.

When a person can do whatever they want, that person will definitely wantonly reshape the world according to their own desires.

Like the founding monarchs in history, they also gained the power to do whatever they wanted and reshape the world at will.

Unaware of the inside story, they named this process "Opening the Emperor's Path".

In this process, ordinary noble families choose to hide in secret realms, while wise noble families choose to invest. Only a few foolish people would think of stopping the other side's progress.

But those powerful families had a choice, while he, as the leader of the alliance, didn't.

The secretary-general said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? The other party can only control a level three god."

"I hope so." The alliance leader nodded wearily, then cursed through gritted teeth, "Gods shouldn't exist in this world."

The divine power that transcends the mundane world is inherently a trampling of rules and order.

…………

Lu Li, completely absorbed in his research, did not leave the basement until three days later.

The Loyalty Bloodline Spell was successful. This spell is somewhat similar to a beggar's version of the Power of Domination, but if used only on humans, it is certainly more than enough.

As for which lucky person will get to experience it first?

The first thing Lu Li thought of was the Gan family and the Du family. With the intention of treating both families equally, Lu Li decided to treat both families the same.
