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

Chapter 424 The Crazy Auction!

Qu Suxin: “…”

Upon hearing this, Qu Suxin's desire to learn from the masters vanished instantly.

"Well, it seems you can't count on me." Qu Suxin sighed helplessly.

Breaking through from Champion level to God level requires not only the efforts of the Pokémon, but also the efforts of the trainer.

The reason why the Dragon Soul Sword was able to advance to the Master level was purely because he exploited a bug.

But this path is not replicable; even Lu Li himself cannot replicate it, so Qu Suxin is even less likely to follow it.

The two, who had been separated for a long time, talked a lot, mainly Qu Suxin thanking Lu Li.

Because of Lu Li's previous suggestion, the Qu family orphan has been adopted by the God of the Forest. If the plan goes smoothly, the Qu family will also become a family with divine protection.

Such a great kindness cannot be expressed with words alone.

That evening, Qu Suxin did not leave the Lu family manor.

The next day, Lu Li entered the basement with great perseverance.

People say that beauty is the death knell for heroes, and Lu Li now thinks they are right.

The metal monster and the fire-breathing dragon worked through the night and successfully crafted 60 magical candies.

60 magical candies weren't the limit for MetalGreymon and Charizard; they were simply out of stock.

Thirty will be auctioned off, and the rest will be given as gifts. It's not a lot, but it's enough.

Qu Suxin is also a very busy person, and being able to indulge for one night is already her limit.

Knowing that Ekaterina was coming, Qu Suxin left early without asking Lu Li for the magic candy.

After all, the Qu family owes Lu Li now, and the reason he said those things before was purely out of jealousy.

After all, Ekaterina had it, so why shouldn't Qu Suxin?
Ekaterina arrived at the manor instantly using teleportation, which shows just how impatient she was.

Lu Li greeted Ekaterina in front of the courtyard.

The two hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, but because they often talked on the phone, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them.

Ekaterina looked at Lu Li with a complicated expression.

The connection between her and Lu Li can basically be described as a series of unexpected twists of fate.

She came to this place by chance to find the quasi-god spirit egg, then she met Lu Li by chance, and finally she felt that Lu Li was the ideal messenger by chance.

What followed was an unexpected investment and an unexpected friendship.

It could be said that their meeting was a mistake from the start, but the mistake led to a surprisingly good outcome.

Lu Li is not an ideal messenger, but he is a god trainer, and a reset god trainer at that.

Although Lu Li was not an ideal envoy, his subordinates were, and he had a wealth of talented people under his command.

The Messenger of Ideals – Ike.

Legendary Pokémon Trainer - Vi.

Goddess Girl - Boom Boom.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Lu family, a makeshift organization established less than half a year ago, already possesses enough foundation to be compared with those ancient clans from secret realms that have been passed down for countless eras.

Besides the matter of the magical candy, she also had a mission assigned by her family.

To form a marriage alliance with the Lu family.

It wasn't a marriage into the family; it was more like an alliance.

The person she married was none other than Catherine of the Catherine family.

Although both of them had a lot to say to each other, Lu Li said, "Let's go inside and sit down."

Ekaterina nodded and followed Lu Li into the living room.

As if she were back in her own home, Ekaterina found a sofa and sat down, looking at Lu Li with tender eyes.

Lu Li walked over with the tea set. Just as he was about to place it on the table, he heard Ekaterina ask, "If I marry you, will you marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the tea set on the table.

After putting down the tea set, Lu Li looked at Ekaterina with a shocked expression.

"I will not marry into the family," Lu Li said with utmost seriousness.

Ekaterina was not angry when she heard this, but explained, "It's not about me marrying into your family, it's about me marrying you."

Despite being deeply moved, Lu Li still reminded him, "I already have a wife."

“I know, I don’t mind,” Ekaterina continued to press.

Lu Li still kindly reminded him: "Political marriages never lead to happiness."

“Someone like me can only have a political marriage, not a free love marriage, and... this is not just a political marriage.” After saying this, Ekaterina stared intently at Lu Li.

If Lu Li refuses again, she will definitely pick up the teapot on the table and smash it on his head.

“Then I can’t think of a reason to refuse.” Lu Li shrugged.

It would be hypocritical to refuse again.

Aside from those who believe in the pure love of one person for life, no normal person could possibly refuse Catherine.

In Lu Li's view, the emotional relationship between a man and a woman can be roughly divided into three types.

The first type is the partnership type, where partners start a company together, with the man and woman having equal status, deeply bound together, and working together to achieve wealth.

A proper married couple.

The second type is the concubine type, where the man is in a dominant position and the woman is a subordinate who provides the emotional support the man needs, but the man has to pay a lot of money in return.

To put it bluntly, it's about keeping a mistress.

The third type: the female-professional type, where the two parties are only involved in money matters, not feelings, and it is purely to satisfy their simple needs.

Similar to hiring a prostitute.

As a pragmatist, Lu Li naturally wanted to find more partners, rather than simply keeping mistresses or visiting prostitutes.

After achieving her goal, Ekaterina's lips curled up slightly.

Her main mission in the Kyushu Alliance has been completed.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter if we fail.

"Tell me about the magic candy," Ekaterina asked lazily.

Lu Li nodded and said, "Sister Qu should have introduced it to you. You don't need to participate in the auction. I've reserved ten for you."

"Give it to me now, I need it right now," Ekaterina said eagerly.

Her first-tier players are already at the Champion level, but she only recently broke through to Champion. If she has enough Magic Candy, she will soon be able to challenge for the Champion level.

Lu Li placed ten magical candies directly on the table.

"These are the ingredients needed to make the magic candy. Two portions of the ingredients will make one magic candy." Lu Li handed a list to Ekaterina.

He wasn't worried that the Catherine family would be able to crack the recipe for the magical candy by looking at the ingredients. Unless there were cultivators in the Catherine family, even if they knew the recipe, they wouldn't be able to make the magical candy.

"You trust me that much? Aren't you worried about the production method being cracked?" Ekaterina looked at Lu Li with a teasing expression.

"If your Ekaterina family can do it," Lu Li said nonchalantly. If the Ekaterina family could really develop the magical candy from the game using the recipe, then he would accept it.

Ekaterina was very satisfied with Lu Li's trust in her.

Although their marriage was a political arrangement, it was also a free choice, since she had always admired him.

Ekaterina stood up, then lazily stretched and reminded him, "You should still attend the auction. It might help you raise the price. Besides, I am me, and the family is the family. Don't confuse the two."

"Okay, I'm going to your room to take a nap and get some sleep to adjust to the time difference," Ekaterina said, winking her right eye deliberately.

This is no longer a hint; it's an explicit statement.

The fiery horses of the Arctic Empire have large skeletons and fierce temperaments, making them difficult for ordinary people to tame.

However, being a cultivator, Lu Li successfully tamed the unruly Fiery Horse by relying on his absolute physical advantage.

Yao Yifei and Freya have been away from home for the past two days, both of them extremely busy preparing for the auction.

The Magic Candy Auction has arrived as scheduled.

It's no exaggeration to say that today's auction has gathered almost all the world's top powers, including some remnants of secret realms.

The auctioneer was played by Yao Yifei in a cameo role.

Wearing a cheongsam, Yao Yifei appeared elegant and graceful.

The magic candy is the main item up for auction.

To make the auction seem more prestigious, Lu Li also concocted a batch of special potions to warm up the atmosphere before the official start.

"Speed ​​Activation Potion! It has a similar effect to the Speed ​​Potion, but can be used three times and does not conflict with the Speed ​​Potion."

The starting bid is 10 million, and each bid must be at least 1 million higher.

As soon as Yao Yifei finished speaking, some forces couldn't wait to shout out their prices.

12 million!
12 million!
…………

"Next up is the Special Attack Activator Potion, which has the same effect as the Speed ​​Activator Potion. The starting bid is 10 million!"

Even before the magical candy was introduced, the various special potions alone brought Lu Li billions in profits, and that was after deducting costs.

Behind the potion lies the Elf Treasure.

The rewards from Elf Treasures are actually less than those from various special activation potions. The reason is simple: the price of Elf Treasures is relatively fixed and doesn't fluctuate much.

After all, special medicines are a monopoly business, and Lu Li is the only one in the world who has special activation medicines.

Amidst much anticipation, the magic candy, the grand finale, finally made its appearance.

"The magical candies are sold in sets of ten, and there are three sets in total for this auction."

"Because the magic candy is priceless, it is not settled with money, but with barter."

"It could be a Pokémon treasure, a trainer's notebook, or some special treasure or divine item."

"The starting bid cannot be less than the value of three Elf Treasures."

"Five magical treasures!" the Lee family of Daehan shouted impatiently.

"Two Dragon God Fruits!" The Dragon family representative followed closely behind.

"Three flowers of triumph!" the Li Tang royal family shouted.

The Triumphant Flower, also known as the Victory Flower, is a special sacred object of the Tang Dynasty. Its effects are similar to those of the Dragon God Fruit, and its value is also comparable.

Lu Li flipped through the description of the Triumphant Flower in his hand, then sighed, "The Triumphant Flower? The Great Tang Empire actually has such a good thing, what a pity."

If he had known earlier that the Tang Empire possessed such valuable resources, he would have definitely taken advantage of them before leaving.

After the Li Tang royal family made their announcement, no one else bid.

Lu Li had anticipated this. Magical candies are not priceless. If we only consider the number of candies, the value of one magical candy is definitely less than that of a magical treasure.

The price of ten magic candies is roughly equivalent to two fairy treasures.

The starting bid was three Elf Treasures, which was already considered a premium, mainly because the Magic Candy was making its first appearance.

Everyone is curious about the magic candy, and some even want to use it to figure out how it's made.

Lu Li knew this, which is why he auctioned them off in sets of ten.

One Triumph Flower is roughly equivalent to two Elven Treasures, and the price quoted by the Li Tang royal family is already considered astronomical.

Therefore, everyone abandoned the first group without hesitation.

During the auction, some astute individuals saw through Lu Li's scheme.

"Damn it! Why are they auctioning off in sets? If there were only three sets, the competition would be much fiercer." The Third Elder of the American Alliance gritted his teeth as he looked at Yao Yifei on the field.

The American Union is essentially a tripartite system, consisting of the Five Elders, the Shadow Council, and the overt American Union government.

The Five Elders hold the most power, followed by the Shadow Government, although in recent years the Shadow Council has gained increasing influence.

In order to suppress the Shadow Conference, he volunteered to take on this task, which was to seize the allocation of the Magic Candy.

After finally managing to snatch the mission, Lu Li ruthlessly tricked everyone.

The only solution now is to temporarily team up and try to capture one of the sets of magical candies.

The Third Elder quickly set his sights on the European Union.

Of all the forces present, only the European Union was willing to cooperate with the American Union. This was unavoidable, as the American Union's credibility had been steadily declining in recent years.

Only the European Union can be fooled time and time again.

After the first set of magical candies was photographed, Yao Yifei suppressed his excitement and shouted excitedly, "Next up is the second set of magical candies!"

The Magic Candy isn't expensive to make; one Magic Candy costs about 500 million. But the Triumph Flower is the real priceless treasure.

If it were put up for auction, a single Triumph Flower would start at least at 500 million.

3000% profit!
This is even more profitable than robbing a bank.

The worst part is that this is a monopolistic market!

A new round of bidding has begun.

Hiding behind the stage, Lu Li watched excitedly as the stakes continued to rise.

Finally, the second set of magical candies was auctioned off by the America Union and the European Union for the price of 12 Elf Treasures.

To be honest, Lu Li was not satisfied with the price.

Theoretically speaking, the value of 12 Elf Treasures is less than that of three Triumph Flowers.

The bidding for the last set of magical candies was the most intense.

The last group of magical candies was won by the remnants of the Sun and Moon.

The other party won the last set of magical candies at a high price of one Cosmog egg.

"Have the remnants of the Sun and Moon gone mad?"

Those members of the secret realm's remnant tribes who knew some of the inside stories were all deeply shocked.

You know, that's a Cosmogu!
Cosmogu is not well-known in the real world, but its final evolution is still talked about.

The final evolution of the Cosmog is the first-tier god, the Sun God or the Moon God!
In other words, Cosmog is the initial form of a Tier 1 God! An absolute Tier 1 God Pokémon cub.
