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

Chapter 391 New Members of the Supreme Council.

Lu Li was not surprised that Liu Li, who came from a humble background, gave the opportunity to Jin Fengjiao.

Liu Li is a rather pitiful woman. She spent the first half of her life working like a slave for Yu Zhonggang, and even in the second half of her life, she still had to dedicate herself to Yu Lili.

However, Lu Li had no intention of interfering. After all, it was their own choice, so why should he, an outsider, care so much?
Once everyone had arrived, Lu Li revealed his purpose.

He plans to hold the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament in Pallet City two years from now.

Since Xiong's apprentice had already been exposed, Lu Li didn't bother to hide it and directly stated that the reason for holding the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament was for Wei.

"Leaving aside the construction costs, that's not the issue. You can hold the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament if you want, but the problem is why would those powerful fighters come to participate in your World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament?" Qu Tongtong went straight to the heart of the matter.

Lu Li said seriously, "I will offer a reward that no fighter can refuse."

Qu Tongtong pressed on, "For example?"

“A divine object, even a cub of a divine beast!” Lu Li replied expressionlessly.

"What?" Qu Tongtong stood up in disbelief, then looked at Lu Li in shock.

Are you crazy? Or is the world crazy?
Rewards of divine objects and mythical beast cubs? Why don't you offer divine blessings as rewards?

After the initial shock, Qu Tongtong calmed down.

As a successful businesswoman, Qu Tongtong's emotions come and go quickly.

Yao Yifei remained silent. The Lu family already possessed quite a few divine objects, but such things were rare, and no family was without them.

Needless to say, the cubs of mythical beasts are even more so. Did you see the Gai family next door preparing to sell their future head of the family just for a cub of a mythical beast?

Jin Fengjiao listened with trepidation. This son-in-law's actions were far too extravagant, completely beyond the comprehension of people of their social standing.

That's a divine object!

Because their daughter possessed a Suicune artifact, they resolutely abandoned the idea of ​​having her pursue the Steel-type path.

Needless to say, if a daughter has a mythical beast cub, why not switch to a different attribute path?

"Are you serious?" Qu Tongtong looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression.

If it's simply for the purpose of developing the city, there's no need to go to such lengths.

It's no exaggeration to say that a divine object and a mythical beast cub could be exchanged for a first-tier city anywhere in the world.

These costs far exceed the value of Zhenxin City itself.

Lu Li calmly asked, "I have my own plans. I just want to know if the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament can be held if I use these two items as prizes?"

"Yes!" Du Yao answered decisively.

Leaving aside divine creatures, the mere sight of a legendary Pokémon cub is enough to attract trainers who have stepped into the realm of gods, especially if it's a Fighting-type legendary Pokémon cub.

Those masters who create a new fighting style would be tempted.

This World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is definitely worth pursuing; the only downside is that the cost is too high.

"In that case, let's talk about the location. I don't plan to set an age limit, which means that there may be master-level trainers participating."

"The competition venue must be able to withstand battles between master-level trainers. To achieve this, how much funding would we need to invest?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Jin Fengjiao and Yao Yifei were just there to make up the numbers, since given their positions and status, they couldn't possibly imagine how much resources such a competition venue would require.

Qu Tongtong started calculating on her tablet. After a moment, she put it down and replied, "500 billion! A conservative estimate is 500 billion! The cost might be even higher. I suggest investing 600 billion."

"Sigh~"

Jin Fengjiao gasped.

500 billion! That's equivalent to five Yu families! Just for a single stadium, that's just too much...

Jin Fengjiao's lips trembled slightly, and she almost cried out.

At this moment, Jin Fengjiao once again witnessed the gap between the Yu family and those top-tier aristocratic families.

Remembering the patriarch's instructions, Qu Tongtong immediately said, "The Qu family can invest 200 billion."

200 billion is almost enough for the Qu family's working capital for a year, but the patriarch instructed that if Lu Li encounters any problem that can be solved with money, then he should do it unconditionally.

Qu Tongtong chose to obey, especially since, given Lu Li's status as a divine trainer, a mere 200 billion investment was insignificant.

Having a god-level trainer as a friend can save your family from annihilation in a critical moment.

Take the Gan and Du families, for example. If they had a divine trainer willing to help them, would they have ended up like this?
Du Yao knew it was time to demonstrate the value of the Du family, so he quickly said, "The Du family can come up with 300 billion."

Anyway, most of the Du family's assets now belong to the Lu family. Although the 300 is said to be paid by the Du family, it is actually paid for by the Lu family, even though these assets were originally taken from the Du family by Lu Li.

With everyone having expressed their opinions, the Gan family's eldest elder could only weakly announce a figure: "The Gan family can contribute 100 billion."

Now the pressure is on the Yu family.

Jin Fengjiao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Arceus above, even if they sold the entire Yu family, they still wouldn't be able to scrape together 100 billion.

Although I made a lot of money in the international futures market before, it wasn't to the level of tens of billions.

Jin Fengjiao, on the verge of tears, frantically racked her brains, trying to figure out how much cash the Yu family could possibly come up with.

Finally, Jin Fengjiao could only say with a lack of confidence, "The Yu family can only come up with 50 billion."

Lu Li interrupted directly, saying, "There's no need for the Yu family. The reason I called you over is to have your Yu family become a supplier. After all, we shouldn't let the profits go to outsiders."

Most of the Yu family's assets are related to steel. Although they cannot completely acquire this project, they can acquire a large portion of it.

Lu Li didn't even look down on those oddballs from the Yu family.

He wouldn't have called Yu Jia over if it weren't for the fact that Yu Jia was his initial angel investor.

Upon hearing this, Jin Fengjiao's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected that this time, instead of suffering a huge loss, she would actually make a fortune.

Qu Tongtong watched this scene indifferently, sneering inwardly: "Does this idiot think he's made a profit?"

The fact that Lu Li still remembers the good things about the Yu family shows that they have decent character. But the problem is, if you can't demonstrate your own value, how can you expect them to remember you when good things happen to them?
Qu Tongtong also did a rough calculation and concluded that if the Yu family could not demonstrate its value, then the Yu family would definitely fall behind.

The phrase "falling behind" here doesn't mean Lu Li will sever ties with the Yu family, but rather that in the future, the Yu family will only be able to follow in Lu Li's footsteps and obtain some financial benefits.

But for a family of trainers, money is often the least valuable resource.

Overwhelmed with joy, Jin Fengjiao was very happy, but she was also someone who had received a traditional education from a prominent family.

She quickly realized that something was wrong.

Everyone present was one of their own, so why should the Yu family only profit and never lose?
Thinking of this, Jin Fengjiao's back was already covered in cold sweat.

Realizing what was happening, Jin Fengjiao quickly said, "Although our Yu family isn't large, we have certain advantages. We can provide steel at cost." "Moreover, our Yu family can invest 50 billion." After saying this, Jin Fengjiao looked at Lu Li seriously.

She didn't say it would be provided for free, after all, Lu Li wasn't short of that kind of money.

Although 50 billion yuan was all the Yu family had in liquid assets, at this point, the concern wasn't whether the 50 billion yuan would go down the drain.

Lu Li saw the pleading in Jin Fengjiao's eyes and understood her thoughts and worries.

"This is really interesting, they're even rushing to give me money," Lu Li thought with amusement.

But out of respect for Lili, Lu Li ultimately did not make things difficult for Jin Fengjiao.

This woman isn't particularly quick-witted, but she's quite sensible, especially after she recognizes her own position; once she does, the other party becomes the smartest one.

Jin Fengjiao acted so badly before because she completely failed to understand her own position.

Of course, the main reason is that Lu Li's improvement speed is too fast, even exceeding Jin Fengjiao's subconscious.

With the decision on the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament finalized, Lu Li brought up the matter of his disciple Xiong again.

"Can we collect the Xiong apprentice who has fallen into the black market?" Lu Li looked at Du Yao and Qu Tongtong.

Qu Tongtong shook her head and said, "Impossible. Now it's not just us, even those secret realm clans and dynasties have intervened. Even if Xiong's apprentices in the black market lined up, they wouldn't be able to get a turn with us."

"The only Xiong disciple that has come out of the black market is in Wei's hands. The rest should be in the hands of the dark web, but we can't even find their headquarters."

Lu Li asked, puzzled, "Aren't other forces interested in Xiong's apprentice in the hands of the Dark Web?"

“How could they not have? They wouldn’t know where Xiong’s apprentice is in the hands of the Dark Web. Moreover, the Dark Web is extremely well hidden. Almost no one knows where their headquarters is, or even their approximate location,” Qu Tongtong said with a wry smile.

Perhaps having learned from the lessons of the cult, the dark web has truly become more covert, and even other forces have followed suit and gone into hiding.

There was no way around it; the impact of the cult's demise was simply too great.

"Is that so?" Lu Li pondered, a wicked thought rising in his mind.

Although robbery is not a good thing, it seems that lowering the bar a little is not unacceptable if it's for the sake of Xiong's apprentice.

Thinking of this, Lu Li's lips curled up slightly.

I don't know if Milton would be willing to become a robber with me. If not, then I'll have to rely on the power of the Qu family and the Catherine family.

"Motor Lizard, you'd better make a move quickly, or you'll be stuck with this mess," Lu Li reminded him again.

It wasn't that he had particularly good foresight, but rather that he had consulted a fortune teller beforehand and predicted that the price of the Motor Lizard would soon plummet.

Everyone nodded. The Motor Lizard Project was initiated by Lu Li, so no one would question Lu Li.

After the meeting ended, Lu Li couldn't wait to go to his room.

Others might not be able to pinpoint Xiong's location, but he could!

No bragging, no blackmail.

In terms of predicting the future alone, all the prophetic spirits in the world combined cannot compare to him. Apart from the gods who control the power of destiny, he is the world's strongest prophet.

The fortune-telling three-piece set is activated!
After two minutes of frantic calculations, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh.

There were more of Xiong's apprentices on the dark web than he had imagined.

The divination indicated that three bear apprentices lived together, and Lu Li guessed that this should be the headquarters of the dark web, with the other two in two different places.

Lu Li guessed that the two bear apprentices were engaged in research.

Hmm! Being studied should also be considered research, right?
Lu Li slowly opened his eyes and let out a heavy breath, then recorded the results of his previous divination.

First, go to the Alliance and see if you can extort a bear apprentice back, then consider how to rob the dark web.

After leaving the room, Lu Li found Yao Yifei again.

Lu Li asked, "When will the next Supreme Conference be held?"

Lu Li wasn't worried about not being invited.

If the Alliance still hasn't invited him to the Supreme Council, it can only mean that the Alliance looks down on him too much, which would be a good reason for him to lash out later.

Yao Yifei replied, "It just so happens to be tonight. The main topics are the border conflict and Xiong's apprentice."

When it was confirmed that Lu Li was a God Trainer, the League directly invited the Lu family to join the Supreme Council, but Lu Li had not been interested before, so he had not participated.

"That's very good."

Lu Li took Milton with him and then summoned the Great Natural Bird.

As for why Millardon was brought along? Of course, it was to prevent anyone from overturning the table, and to give himself the confidence to do so.

After nightfall, Lu Li and the Great Natural Bird went directly to the Alliance headquarters.

Normally, teleportation is not allowed in the capital, but this doesn't apply to the members attending the Supreme Council.

There were quite a few people attending the Supreme Meeting, probably more than 30.

As the host of the meeting, the president of the Kyushu Alliance announced before the meeting began that the Du family had lost their qualification as members of the Supreme Council.

No one objected to this, not even those who were on good terms with the Du family.

The Du family's affairs have been thoroughly investigated. Everyone who attended the meeting knew that the Du family was no longer worthy of their position.

If they weren't afraid of Lu Li, they would have already ordered the Du family to dismember and eat him.

Lu Li is a new face. Few people are sure when the Supreme Conference will be held, but it is basically the same group of people.

Now that a newcomer like Lu Li has suddenly appeared, everyone is naturally taking notice.

"This kid actually came to the Supreme Meeting. It seems he's here for Xiong's apprentice," Wen Gongmao thought to himself thoughtfully.

Gai Lie, Long Yuzuo, and others shared the same idea.

As someone with experience, the Dragon Throne specially called Lu Li to his side and introduced him to the councilors attending the Supreme Council.

Apart from the representatives of the eighteen major attribute families, the remaining dozen or so are all master-level trainers, and all of them represent the interests of ordinary people.

Wen Gongmao belonged to the commoner faction, while Long Yuzuo and Peng Chongshan were the standard representatives of aristocratic families.

Normally, Lu Li represents the commoners' faction, but strangely, apart from Wen Gongmao, no one else in the commoners' faction seems to have any intention of communicating with him.

The attitudes of the aristocratic families towards him were similar; apart from Long Yuzuo and Peng Chongshan, the attitudes of the other aristocratic families towards him were also quite subtle.

Lu Li felt that she might be isolated.
