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

Chapter 423 Atypical Master Trainer.

With the board deliberately letting him off the hook, Lu Li arrived at the headquarters of the dark web without any trouble. However, it was certain that the key data at the headquarters had been removed first.

Lu Li didn't even glance at the few oddballs at the Dark Web headquarters; after all, there were so many of them, it would lower his prestige.

The higher a person stands, the more they care about their image. You can openly be a robber, but you can't steal a little girl's lollipop.

Lu Li is in a similar situation now.

Lu Li quickly destroyed the Dark Web headquarters, and then Banben, who arrived late, angrily engaged Lu Li in battle.

The story ended with Banben fleeing in a sorry state.

All three parties were satisfied with this performance; the only victim was perhaps the American League.

The alliance successfully cracked down on the dark web, regaining the face it had lost there.

Lu Li successfully gained four bear apprentices and, more importantly, fulfilled his promise to the alliance.

The Dark Web also gained the opportunity to cooperate with the God Trainer.

The American Alliance, however, gained nothing and instead had a major city destroyed.

…………

Shadow meeting at the headquarters of the American Union.

"This Kyushu man is too arrogant; we must respond," the Shadow Councilor, seated at the head of the table, spoke first.

The true masters of the America League have never been the League Chairman, but rather a shadow council composed of financial magnates and top trainers within the America League.

“It is unwise to make enemies of God Trainers,” retorted a councilor numbered six.

The third councilor suggested, "Then we can put pressure on the Kyushu Alliance."

“The Kyushu Alliance is currently in a standoff with the Indian Alliance, so the Kyushu Alliance certainly wouldn’t dare to be our enemy at this time,” Councilor No. 5 echoed.

Representative No. 8 emphasized: "What about the dark web? Don't forget, all of this originated from the dark web."

The councilor said in a deep voice, "The dark web has gone too far."

They may allow some tycoons to collude with the dark web in secret, but they will absolutely not allow the dark web to extend its tentacles into their core power groups.

That's one of the eighteen major attribute gyms, and one of the League's most obvious trump cards.

If people were to find out that the Electric-type Gym had joined the Dark Web, or even obeyed its commands, it would be the biggest scandal in the history of the America League.

“Let’s warn the Digol family that Edil is no longer suitable to be the Old Mountain Gym Leader and we need to replace him,” Digol said proactively.

His code name is 13, which means he is ranked 13th in the shadow meeting.

While this ranking may be somewhat inflated, it is enough to demonstrate that his ability ranks in the upper-middle tier within the American League.

Upon hearing this, the councilor glanced thoughtfully at Digor, then nodded: "Let's leave it at that regarding the Old Mountain Gym Leader. As for the Dark Web..."

"Who among you is willing to take a look at the dark web? The original one is also a master-level trainer. Members of the top ten can apply for this mission. All the spoils obtained during the mission belong to the individual."

“If the alliance is willing to back me up, I’ll take on this mission,” said the senator number four.

His number is four, which means that his strength ranks among the top four in the Shadow Council.

Seeing this, the councilor nodded and then said helplessly, "We can't force Lu Li, that god-like trainer. Let the America League impose an economic blockade on him."

Everyone in the meeting room agreed with this approach, but smart people knew that it was essentially a compromise.

Economic blockade is useless against Lu Li, because he relies on the Kyushu Alliance. Unless the Kyushu Alliance imposes an economic blockade on him, this so-called economic blockade is a joke.

“Next is another topic, which is still related to Lu Li, this god-like trainer,” Councilor Number Nine said, standing up.

He was one of the few people who had just opposed the American alliance's economic blockade of Lu Li.

This wasn't because he had a partnership with Lu Li, but because he knew that the American Alliance would be begging to make a deal with Lu Li.

Lu Li projected the information in his hand onto the screen.

"The Magic Candy is said to be a special item developed by Lu Li. Its effect is to raise a Pokémon's level by one small level without any side effects, but it cannot help the Pokémon break through its bottleneck, and it is only effective for Pokémon below the Master level."

After Representative Number Nine finished speaking, he silently looked at everyone in the conference room, waiting for them to speak.

"No! Why didn't you say this sooner? You're making me look like a fool!" The councilor looked at Number Nine helplessly.

They just decided to impose economic sanctions on Lu Li, and then you pull out a magic candy?
What about the results of the discussion?
Lu Li has magical candy in his hands. Now they have to beg Lu Li to cooperate, instead of Lu Li looking up to them.

Everyone else knew this too, but out of respect for the Speaker, no one in the meeting room knew how to speak.

In situations like this, you need to save face yourself, otherwise others will definitely take away that dignity.

"Forget about economic blockades; now we're the ones asking for their help," the parliamentarian said in a hoarse voice.

After the councilor finished speaking, he gave Number Nine a cold glare.

Number Nine was in charge of the American Alliance's infiltration of other alliances, so it was normal for them to know about the news in the Kyushu region before he did.

What really angered him was that Number Nine hadn't told him about this beforehand. If they had informed him earlier, he wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.

Number Nine was also helpless.

He had only just learned of this news, and for the sake of convenience, he hadn't informed the councilor beforehand.

But he really didn't expect the councilor to impose economic sanctions on Lu Li.

Prior to today, the American Union had never imposed economic sanctions on any individual.

The councilor, forced to swallow his anger, gritted his teeth and said, "The previous proposal is null and void. Now, let's talk about the magic candy."

"The auction for the magical candy will be held in three days in the newly established city of Lu Li—True New City, but there is no explicit rule prohibiting other forces from participating."

Number Two asked thoughtfully, "So, in other words, as long as we're shameless enough, we can send people to participate in the auction?"

other people:"……"

It's not good to say this to people's faces, even though everyone present is one of our own.

"To prevent price gouging, I suggest that the American Union send a representative to the auction, bring the items back, and then we can auction them internally," the councilor said helplessly.

These items definitely can't be individually discounted, otherwise it would easily raise the price of the Magic Candy.

They already had some conflicts with Lu Li, so naturally they wouldn't raise the price for him.

No one in the meeting room rejected the proposal.

After all, this is clearly beneficial to everyone. It's better for everyone to grab the goods after they've received them than to grab them before they've even arrived.

Magical candies are unimportant to those at the top, because they have no interest in breeding new Pokémon.

But just because they can't use it doesn't mean that their descendants can't.

This will definitely be a strategic support item in the future; whoever has more of it will be able to get a significant head start over others.

This thing isn't essential, but you can do without it yourself, but you absolutely cannot let your opponent have it, otherwise the gap between you will only widen further.

Before leaving, Lu Li gave Banben an invitation, inviting him to attend the magical candy auction three days later.

He had no intention of secretly holding an auction; otherwise, he wouldn't have advertised it at the Supreme Conference.

What if other forces come to participate?
Lu Li had no objection whatsoever. As long as the price was right, he didn't care who got the magic candy, since it was mass-produced anyway.

Lu Li, who returned with four divine beasts, put the cubs in the backyard to roam freely, where they were temporarily cared for by their guardian, Xiao Bawa.

There are quite a few mythical creature cubs in my family now.

Besides the seven Meltans, there are five Kushala Daoras. If you include the unhatched Pokémon eggs, that makes a total of 13.

After returning home, Lu Li also met an acquaintance.

"Long time no see." Lu Li looked at Qu Suxin with a complicated expression.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Qu Suxin nodded with a smile, her face also showing complex emotions.

In less than three months, the balance of power between the two sides underwent a dramatic reversal.

Lu Li, the investor, is now ahead of her.

Master-level trainer, a realm she had dreamed of her whole life, Lu Li achieved in just three months.

Looking at the Dragon Soul Sword beside Lu Li, Qu Suxin's eyes were filled with envy and longing.

She really wanted to know how Lu Li did it.

"Please sit down," Qu Suxin urged with a smile, as if she were the hostess herself.

Coming to his senses, Lu Li nodded and then sat down on the sofa opposite Qu Suxin.

After Lu Li sat down, Qu Suxin, who couldn't wait any longer, couldn't help but ask, "Can't the magic candy really be used to break through major bottlenecks?"

Lu Li nodded: "It's true."

"Then your Shield Sword Monster..."

“The Dragon Soul Sword is somewhat special; its growth has nothing to do with me,” Lu Li explained.

Qu Suxin didn't believe it, because the bond between Lu Li and the Dragon Soul Sword couldn't be faked.

If this Shield Sword Monster was truly subdued by Lu Li, then the bond between them should be extremely fragile, or even nonexistent.

It's no exaggeration to say that the bond between Lu Li and the Dragon Soul Sword is even stronger than the bond between her and Gardevoir.

Lu Li saw through Qu Suxin's little scheme and, not wanting her to suspect anything, put away the Dragon Soul Sword right in front of her.

“You can think of the Dragon Soul Sword as a part of my body, which is why my bond with the Dragon Soul Sword is so strong,” Lu Li explained.

"Human and spirit in one body?" Qu Suxin's face was full of disbelief.

"Oh? Is there such a saying in the world of elves?" Lu Li asked, somewhat surprised.

“The cult has conducted experiments in this area before, and they were even successful, but the subject of that experiment did not fare well.” Qu Suxin looked at Lu Li with some concern.

"If a trainer and a Ghost-type Pokémon share the same body, the trainer's body will be corrupted by Ghost-type energy. The best outcome is that the trainer becomes a living dead, and the worst outcome is that the body dies prematurely."

“The Dragon Soul Sword and I don’t share the same body; you can think of this as a special ability,” Lu Li comforted him.

There are far too many mad scientists in the Elf World, and with the God Cult having no taboos, it's quite normal for them to conduct taboo experiments like creating a human-spirit community.

Qu Suxin did not delve further into the matter of the Dragon Soul Sword, but wisely changed the subject.

The reason she couldn't help but ask was because her desire for the realm of the gods overwhelmed her reason.

Now that her intelligence has regained its edge, Qu Suxin has returned to normal.

"I have prepared the materials you requested, and I have also delivered the supplies from the Ekaterina family to you in advance," Qu Suxin reported in a serious tone, just like a female secretary reporting to her superior.

"Pretty fast." Lu Li raised an eyebrow.

The materials Qu Suxin mentioned are the substances used to make the magic candy.

Rare Candies are considered a lower-grade alternative to Elixir. Making Rare Candies doesn't even require his intervention as a trainer; Charizard and MetalGreymon can handle it perfectly well.

When the two elves work in perfect harmony, they might even be able to make magical candies faster than he can.

Lu Li was quite gratified that his adopted son could finally work and earn money.

Lu Li loves the elves of this world so much. They can both work and fight. The only thing that's a bit of a hassle is training them.

But compared to the benefits that elves bring, what is the time and effort spent raising them?

"Ekaterina asked me to tell you not to invite her if you have anything good. She's remembered this and will settle the score with you when we meet," Qu Suxin teased with a mischievous grin.

Lu Li asked curiously, "Is she also coming to participate in the auction?"

“Of course! Ekaterina isn’t alone, and besides, she also needs the magic candy,” Qu Suxin rolled her eyes at Lu Li, as if blaming Lu Li for not understanding them at all.

"My bad! I'll leave her some magic candy." Lu Li quickly raised his hands in surrender.

He was never good at dealing with girls' unreasonable demands, let alone this time when the girl was "reasonably demanding".

Upon hearing that Lu Li was going to reserve a batch of magical candies for Ekaterina separately, Qu Suxin, who had previously been on Ekaterina's side, immediately objected.

Qu Suxin asked with great dissatisfaction, "What about me?"

Lu Li quickly assured him, "You have some too! And just as many."

Qu Suxin nodded in satisfaction.

"Could you tell me more about the God's Realm? The more detailed the better." Qu Suxin released Gardevoir, looking at Lu Li with longing in her eyes.

She is considered a newly rich and powerful figure, and it's impossible for the master-level trainers from established forces to impart all their knowledge to her.

She only knew a tiny bit about how to lead elves into the realm of the gods.

Although she had the training notes of a master-level trainer that she had exchanged with the Li family, knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial.

“Actually, I don’t know much about it either, but I can have the Dragon Soul Sword tell you personally,” Lu Li said.

"If it's just about Pokémon, Gardevoir's mother is a Master-level Pokémon. What I need is the experience of a trainer," Qu Suxin said speechlessly.

Land from:"……"

Lu Li said, "You're probably making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger."

You can ask me to share my experience on how to build a foundation, no problem. But asking me to share my experience as a master trainer is really a bit difficult.

Lu Li asked hesitantly, "Do you think it's possible that I'm actually an atypical master-level trainer?"
