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

Chapter 413 The Undersea People of Atlantis.

As the saying goes, "no destruction, no construction," it's quite normal for such a miraculous reaction to occur under the combined effects of spiritual power and Meloetta's healing.

Lu Li, fully recovered, couldn't wait to stand up from the ground.

"Thank you so much, Meloetta," Lu Li said sincerely.

“You’re welcome. Your musical talent is a gift to the world, and I didn’t want you to die so young,” Meloeta replied.

Lu Li asked incredulously, "Is it really just because of my musical talent?"

“There are other reasons as well, but we’ll keep that a secret for now,” Meloeta said meaningfully.

Are there any other reasons?
Lu Li immediately misunderstood.

Lu Li remembered that in the world of cultivation, demonic beasts could transform into human form, and the profession of Beast Tamer included techniques for transforming demonic beasts into human form.

Even in the world of cultivation, the ultimate dream of a beast tamer is to have a capable and reliable partner.

However, that thing is more difficult to become an elf than the Qi Refining Technique, so Lu Li has no other ideas for the time being.

"Alright, don't do anything so dangerous next time. Call me anytime if you need anything. I'm leaving now." Meloeta said and then disappeared.

Lu Li then turned his attention to the core of Deoxys.

The energy in Deoxys' core has already reached the champion level; it's not that he doesn't want to raise the energy in Deoxys' core to the master level.

Rather, it's because the conditions don't allow it.

The meridians in the human body are like energy transmission channels. If the meridians are severed, the energy transmission channels will naturally be severed as well.

Thinking back on the pain he had experienced, Lu Li finally decided to follow his heart and honestly use the Spirit Gathering Array to provide energy to the core of Deoxys.

"Taking shortcuts is too painful. Someone like me is better suited to the right path," Lu Li told himself, trying to convince himself.

Calculating the time, the appointed day has arrived.

Upon arriving in the living room, Lu Li found it empty, so he called out to the Great Natural Bird.

With a whooshing sound, Yao Yifei and the Sun Elf arrived in the living room together.

As soon as Yao Yifei appeared, he couldn't wait to say, "You've been in seclusion for two days."

Lu Li nodded.

Yao Yifei didn't say anything, after all, he was used to this kind of thing.

"sit down."

Lu Li pulled Yao Yifei to sit on the sofa.

"Was the plan successful?" Lu Li asked with concern.

Yao Yifei's lips curled up slightly; she was very happy that she had completed Lu Li's task.

"It's a success. With our deliberate guidance, most of the trainers who were attracted by Jirachi are now staying in Pallet Town."

Lu Li nodded and continued to ask, "Has anything else happened in the past two days?"

"There is indeed something. Fairy King Qu Suxin is back. She even called you yesterday, but you were in seclusion, so we didn't disturb you."

"She said you've come out of seclusion and asked you to call her back. She'll be coming to visit you then." Yao Yifei said, then looked at Lu Li with a teasing expression.

Yao Yifei was actually quite curious about the relationship between Lu Li and Qu Suxin.

Qu Suxin definitely wanted to bring Lu Li onto the Qu family's big ship, but strangely, Qu Suxin hadn't made any moves.

Just look at the Long family; that's how a normal aristocratic family behaves.

Qu Suxin was the first opportunist, but it's strange that the other side didn't send any girls to Lu Li's side.

Yao Yifei even suspected that Qu Suxin was trying to seduce a younger man, but the problem was that the two were nearly 20 years apart in age.

Lu Li was grateful to Qu Suxin.

But if we're talking about romantic love between men and women...

There was a little, but not much.

He was an orphan in his past life, and he finally has a family in this life, but he is a left-behind child and his parents died early.

People like this usually have some degree of Oedipus complex.

Lu Li has a few of these qualities, but not many, which is why he likes mature, older women.

Qu Suxin can be considered a mature and sophisticated woman.

But that's just a liking, like his liking for elves.

If we're talking about love, then his love for Yao Yifei is the real love.

Lost in thought, Lu Li even forgot to answer Yao Yifei's question.

"Land from?"

"Land from!"

"what!"

Lu Li, snapping out of his daze, quickly responded.

"What were you thinking about just now? I called you twice before you answered." Yao Yifei's tone was full of inquiry.

"It's nothing, I just have some things to do later and may need to leave for a while," Lu Li said, changing the subject.

Hearing that Lu Li was leaving again, Yao Yifei frowned: "How long will you be gone?"

"About a day." Lu Li wasn't sure how long the negotiations would last, but he figured it shouldn't take more than a day.

Lu Li stood up from the sofa and said apologetically, "I'll leave the house to you. I'll go and get ready."

"Go ahead, leave the family to me." Yao Yifei nodded with a smile. She loved the feeling of being needed by Lu Li.

After returning to his bedroom, Lu Li picked up his phone and contacted Qu Suxin.

"Sister Qu, I'm sorry, I had something to do before, and I only came out of seclusion today." Lu Li apologized as soon as he came up.

"It's alright, we're all trainers, we all know what's going on," Qu Suxin comforted her considerately.

Qu Suxin then asked, "By the way, are you free now?"

“No, I might have to go to the Atlantis Secret Realm later,” Lu Li replied.

"Atlantis?"

Qu Suxin frowned. She couldn't understand why Lu Li would suddenly get involved with Atlantis.

After thinking for a moment, Qu Suxin guessed the truth.

"Is it because of the Wishing Star Bead?" Qu Suxin asked.

"Sister Qu, you actually knew about this too?" Lu Li was somewhat surprised.

Normally, the Qu family shouldn't have access to secrets of this level.

Qu Suxin explained, "The Li family told me that because of the Rainbow Warrior incident, the Qu family and the Tang Empire are now cooperating quite well."

"Then it's not surprising." Lu Li suddenly realized.

Qu Suxin asked in a low voice, "Does Atlantis want to force you to hand over the Wishing Star Bead?"

"It's not certain yet, but they probably want to make a deal. Atlantis isn't in a position to force me."

force?

Just kidding! How many gods did Atlantis have?
Qu Suxin took the initiative to ask, "Do you want your sister to go with you? I've been to Atlantis before."

"No need, I can manage on my own." Lu Li declined Qu Suxin's offer.

Although Lu Li was certain that Atlantis didn't have the guts to overturn the table, he still didn't want to have a burden by his side. Qu Suxin wasn't even a Master-level Trainer; on the battlefield between gods, she wasn't even cannon fodder.

"Okay." Qu Suxin didn't say anything after being rejected.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Li knocked on Millardon's door with a sandwich feast.

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Lu Li certainly wouldn't take Millerton for free.

Having already experienced this, Millerton simply inhaled the sandwich tornado, let out a remarkably human-like burp, and then slowly asked, "What's up this time?"

Milton was already well aware of this situation.

Normally, we only have one sandwich per meal, but this time they ordered a hundred. You can tell there's going to be a big job.

“Manaphy,” Lu Li stated the request briefly.

Upon hearing the name, Millardon nodded confidently: "No problem, shall we set off now?"

Manaphy is only a third-level god. Even on the opponent's home turf, Milton is confident that he can have a 60/40 chance against him.

"We might not actually fight; it's just that having you along is a form of insurance," Lu Li explained.

Millerton nodded.

It would be better not to fight. Fighting a god, no matter what level, would cause his body to be injured, and how many sandwiches would it take to recover?

If it weren't for her fondness for this kind of body, Milton really wouldn't want to follow Lu Li to fight the gods.

…………

In the spiritual world.

Groudon, watching this scene, complained, "This guy has turned the Future God into this, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Talebagos wasn't fooled. Instead, he sneered, "You're probably worried about Georka, aren't you?"

Groudon: “…”

Groudon's eyes instantly turned fierce after its secret was exposed.

Groudon warned worriedly, "He can't go to that bastard's place. He has my mark on him, and that fathead might sense it."

"Don't worry, that's Manaphy's territory, there's no way you'll run into any bighead carp," Talebagos reassured him.

"But the messenger of the bighead carp is right there." Groudon was still a little uneasy.

“Speaking of divine messengers, I thought you were going to make a move.” Talebagos looked at Groudon with a mocking expression.

One thing must be admitted: that human was quite brave. As Kyogre's messenger, even though he was one of the first generation, that guy actually dared to come and dart around in front of Groudon.

Although that guy didn't know, it was truly a miracle that the other person was still alive.

"Wula's death can only be attributed to his inferior skills, which also shows that the fathead fish has a better eye for people than I do. Moreover, I am not some shameless person who bullies the weak."

"If I'm going to do something, it'll be a fathead fish. Why would I bother with His messenger? That's too low-class and beneath my dignity."

Groudon's tone was full of disdain.

In His eyes, humans are merely consumables, and beings inferior to Him.

Although Wula was the first divine messenger he chose, he was also the one he was least satisfied with, because that guy was actually killed by the fathead fish's divine messenger.

This is also the only time in countless eras that the fathead fish has ever won against Him.

In terms of judging people, He did lose a round, but Groudon was not convinced. It doesn't matter if He makes a good judgment once, because this time He has chosen the strongest human!
Groudon was convinced that Lu Li could definitely help him get revenge.

While Groudon may believe it, he's not stupid.

He couldn't possibly fight a bighead carp in some secret ocean realm; that wouldn't be cowardice, it would be foolishness.

This is also why He didn't want Lu Li to go to Atlantis.

There, I might get beaten up by the fathead fish.

Talebagos assured him, "Don't worry, Georka will absolutely not appear in that secret realm."

Considering this guy's history of unreliability, Groudon still asked with some skepticism, "Are you sure?"

“I swear by the Way of Destiny.” Talebagos nodded very seriously.

After confirming several times that Kyogre would not appear in the Atlantis Secret Realm, Groudon decided to continue sleeping.

…………

For this trip to Atlantis, Lu Li brought Milton, Jirachi, and the first echelon, and of course, the Dragon Soul Sword in his dantian should also be included.

It's no exaggeration to say that he now possesses the vast majority of the fighting force.

He wasn't afraid if the other side really did overturn the table, and Meloeta didn't go with them either, precisely to prevent those people from raiding his base.

Lu Li never overestimates other people's character.

Because he likes to put himself in others' shoes.

For the sake of the Star Pearl, those people weren't incapable of resorting to blackmail or coercion.

The Atlantis Secret Realm is located deep in the Pacific Ocean, and its entrance is underwater, which means that trainers with low strength cannot enter it at all.

The pressure in the deep sea is something that not everyone can endure; to be precise, no one can bear it. The reason why people living underwater are able to live in the deep sea is because of their special physical structure.

If humans want to enter the ocean, they must rely on the help of water-type or psychic-type spirits.

Lu Li released Milotic and then followed Milotic into the sea.

Milotic envelops the land in water-based energy, creating a vacuum zone isolated from the seawater. Milotic can extract oxygen from the seawater and inject it into air bubbles.

This is one of the common methods used by Water-type Pokémon to take their trainers to the ocean floor.

Because of the sheer beauty of Milotic, some unexpected incidents inevitably occurred during the dive.

Some nearby Pokémon were drawn to Milotic, and the weaker Pokémon fawned over it.

The powerful Pokémon even became a sycophant, working for Milotic.

Lu Li was enveloped in a giant bubble. The culprit was a king-level gem starfish. The powerful gem starfish drove out all its competitors and won the opportunity to be a sycophant.

However, Milotic still dismissed it.

"Simps end up with nothing! And most importantly, you're a simp, there's no way you can ever have a future with my Xiaomei." Lu Li sighed helplessly.

Milotic's charm is so strong that it even transcends the limitations of its egg group. But thinking about it, it's understandable, since Milotic's charm transcends racial limitations.

The entrance to Atlantis is guarded by underwater people. They are similar to humans, but their toes are longer and their toenails are covered with a thin membrane.

However, if they wear shoes, no one on land can tell the difference. Also, the skin of the people living underwater is more moisturized.

It's no exaggeration to say that among all races, the skin of the sea people is absolutely the best, bar none.

"Humanity?"

A female sea creature wielding a trident blocked Lu Li's path. She was about 40 years old in human years, while a sea creature in middle age would be around 400 years old.

In terms of seniority, the other party could be considered Lu Li's ancestor.

"Hello, I have been invited by the High Priest of Atlantis." Lu Li handed the invitation to the underwater man in front of him.

Lu Li was actually quite curious about how the other person could talk underwater.

Upon hearing this, the female sea creature took the invitation from Lu Li. After reading it, her attitude changed drastically. She bowed respectfully and then extended the invitation:

"Please follow me, the high priest and the others are already waiting for you."
