Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

After thinking it over, Lu Li picked up his phone and made a call he rarely made.

"Little Pudding, do you need something from me?" Qu Suxin's tone was playful and teasing, her voice soft and slightly husky.

Hearing this familiar nickname, Lu Li's face darkened.

Ekaterina liked to call him that, and then this noblewoman he had never met followed suit.

Lu Li said helplessly, "I have something to tell you. It's like this..."

Lu Li briefly told Qu Suxin about his findings and guesses.

Actually, he didn't have to do this, but mainly, if he didn't, his conscience wouldn't feel right.

In case the Yao family really used such an excuse to start a war with the Qu family, he would regret it if he found out later. Rather than let himself regret it, he might as well tell Qu Suxin about it first.

Even if he guessed wrong, it would only be to avoid being laughed at.

As the saying goes, I'd rather make mistakes than do nothing. That's what Lu Li thought at this moment.

"I see. Thank you for this. I'll thank you properly when I have time, dear~" Qu Suxin drawled slightly, with a lazy teasing tone, like a cat teasing its prey with composure and confidence.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Suxin narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, then picked up the phone next to her and said, "I want all the information on that Yao Tianxing."

After hanging up the phone again, she stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Alliance... is this your condition?" Qu Suxin murmured in her heart.

The eighteen attribute families were already too powerful to control. Now that the Kyushu Alliance was about to become independent, the higher-ups naturally hoped to weaken the eighteen attribute families through various means.

This was also a last resort. If the eighteen attribute families were not weakened, then the Kyushu Alliance would be at the mercy of those families.

............

After listening to the entire conversation, Yao Yifei couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this too cautious? No matter how shameless the Yao family is, they wouldn't use such an excuse, would they?"

Lu Li just smiled and shook his head, without explaining much.

Lu Li asked, "The Elf Eggs are all gathered. Where do we go next?"

After searching for a moment, Yao Yifei asked, "I want to exchange Super Evolution Stones for Elf Secret Treasures that I can use. Do you have anything to exchange?"

"Which of your Elves are lacking Secret Treasures?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Yao Yifei's first-tier Elves were Sylveon, Togekiss, Altaria, Wigglytuff, Milotic, and Vespiquen.

But they had all reached their aptitude limit. If the Elf Secret Treasures couldn't improve their aptitude, it would be equivalent to wasting an Elf Secret Treasure.

Yao Yifei said, "Wigglytuff, I guess."

"Why not Espeon?" Lu Li asked.

Yao Yifei said helplessly, "Because Espeon has already used a Psychic Gem."

"Okay." Lu Li nodded and continued to ask, "What about Altaria?"

"Altaria has already used a Flying Gem, and Dragon-type Secret Treasures are not common. I don't have much hope for that." Yao Yifei spread her hands, saying regretfully.

If possible, she certainly hoped to exchange for an Elf Secret Treasure that Altaria could use. After all, Altaria could Mega Evolve. If Altaria broke through to the Heavenly King level and Mega Evolved, she could almost instantly break away from the initial stage of the Heavenly King level.

Lu Li smiled and comforted, "You still have to have dreams. What if they come true?"

Yao Yifei's luck was actually pretty good. She was definitely not going to stop at the Gym Leader level.

"Hopefully. Follow me."

After Yao Yifei finished speaking, she led the way.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a window. Their window was not the only one. There were at least sixty or seventy different windows in a row.

"Guests, what service do you need?" the staff behind the counter asked respectfully.

Yao Yifei: "Bartering."

"Please continue."

The staff nodded.

"I want to exchange a Swampert's Super Evolution Stone for a Fairy Gem or a Dragon Gem."

After hearing Yao Yifei's conditions, the staff quickly registered them: "Okay, please leave your contact information. We will match you with a trading partner as quickly as possible."

Yao Yifei stood to the side, giving her spot to Lu Li.

"What do you need, sir?" the staff asked, looking up.

"I want to exchange an Aggron's Super Evolution Stone for..."

Lu Li fell into thought.

To be honest, he didn't need Elf Secret Treasures at all right now. As for exchanging for other things, he could only exchange Super Evolution Stones for Super Evolution Stones.

Lu Li continued, "Exchange for Charizard's or Steelix's Super Evolution Stone."

The staff didn't say anything, just buried their head in registering, and then handed Lu Li a card: "Please do not leave Deep Blue City during the trade fair. I will match you with a trading partner as soon as possible."

Lu Li smiled and took the card.

After leaving the trading area, Lu Li said, "I remember there are also such transactions on online platforms, right?"

Yao Yifei just asked rhetorically, "Do you dare to believe online transactions?"

Lu Li: "..."

"The Deep Blue Black Market Trade Fair can be said to be the safest trade fair. The probability of seeing a scammer here is almost zero, and the probability of being double-crossed is also close to zero. This is why the trade fair can be held every year," Yao Yifei explained.

"Next, let's go to the miscellaneous goods area. It's usually a street stall area. It mainly tests your eyesight. That's the real Deep Blue Black Market," Yao Yifei suggested.

Lu Li nodded.

Yao Yifei added, "All the items in the miscellaneous goods area have no quality guarantee. Even if you buy fake items, the Deep Blue Black Market will not be responsible."

The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the trading area.

In fact, the items in the trading area were indeed as Yao Yifei said. 80% of them were fake, and 10% of the remaining 20% were inferior products. There were not many good things in the remaining 10%.

"People who come here to buy things need eyesight and knowledge. I usually don't come here to buy things," Yao Yifei said seriously. Lu Li even heard a kind of gnashing resentment.

Lu Li: "..."

"You haven't been scammed here, have you?" Lu Li felt that he might have grasped the point.

Yao Yifei's face darkened when she heard this.

Yao Yifei retorted, "Can you speak properly? At most, I paid tuition fees. Later, I learned."

"Learned what?" Lu Li looked at Yao Yifei curiously.

The "tuition fees" Yao Yifei paid should be quite a lot. Lu Li was also curious about what the other party had learned.

Yao Yifei replied dryly, "I learned not to buy things here."

"Heh~"

Lu Li was successfully amused.

Lu Li praised, "Sister Yao, I didn't expect you to have a sense of humor."

Yao Yifei: "..."

Yao Yifei glared at Lu Li and then chose to remain silent.

Lu Li curiously searched for his target at each stall.

The most important thing when buying things here is not to listen to the stall owner's nonsense.

Even the poop of an unknown Elf can be blown into a divine object by the stall owner.

What? You said why this pile of creature doesn't have any energy fluctuations?

Do you understand what it means for divine objects to be self-deprecating?

If there were real energy fluctuations, would it be your turn to pick up the leak?

Lu Li felt that the boss was right, and then spent 200 Alliance coins to buy this pile of poop.

It wasn't that this pile of poop was a divine object, but because it was the excrement of a Heavenly King-level Dragonite. For Berry Trees, it was a pretty good fertilizer. Many fertilizer formulas used this kind of thing.

"Hmm?"

Lu Li suddenly stopped in front of an old man's stall.

"This..."

Lu Li looked at the bone in surprise.

Lu Li said, "Boss, this thing is very close to the ground."

The opposite boss heard this and looked at Lu Li in surprise.

"A colleague?"

The boss asked with a smile, "What do you mean, little brother?"

"I felt the resentment on this bone from a long distance away." Lu Li answered while checking the bone in front of him.

The boss's face instantly calmed down when he heard this. So it wasn't a colleague. Then the old man was relieved.

This was a cervical vertebra from the remains of a Grandmaster-level Elf. Due to the passage of time and the body being too severely damaged, there were no energy fluctuations on this bone anymore. All that was left was soaring resentment.

It was worth mentioning that the resentment on it was not from the Elf itself, but was entangled by resentment.

In other words, the owner of this bone was an Elf who had committed a lot of sins in his lifetime, so much so that he was entangled by resentment even after death.

This thing was a great tonic for some Ghost-type Elves, but any trainer who wasn't crazy would not let their Elf absorb this resentment.

"I like this bone very much. Boss, name your price." Lu Li put the bone back on the stall.

"Fifty thousand, no bargaining," the boss said directly.

Lu Li paid directly and then threw the bone into his space backpack.

After the money arrived, the boss kindly reminded, "It's best not to give this thing to your Elf. Something will happen."

Lu Li nodded.

This was a Dragon-type Elf's cervical vertebra, entangled with soaring resentment. It was the main material for refining the Myriad Souls Banner.

"Now all that's missing are the runes. I need to find a Unown that represents the basic rules of the Ghost-type. That way, my Gengar army plan can be put on the agenda," Lu Li thought with anticipation.

Yao Yifei asked curiously, "What are you buying this bone for? To use it as fertilizer?"

"About the same." Lu Li didn't explain.

In the miscellaneous goods area, Lu Li did receive a lot of good things.

For example, some herbs that he had been looking for, as well as some materials for refining equipment, and even materials for making fertilizer.

Lu Li spent almost twice as much time in the miscellaneous goods area as in the Elf Egg area.

Yao Yifei suggested, "It's getting late. Why don't we go back to the hotel to rest?"

Lu Li was about to say that he was still full of energy at the moment, but considering that Yao Yifei was just a mortal, Lu Li finally nodded.

"Tomorrow we'll go to the second floor to take a look," Lu Li said.

Yao Yifei nodded without objecting.

After finding a hotel under the Qu family's banner to stay in, Lu Li couldn't wait to take stock of his gains today.

First of all, he found some of the materials for the Beauty Elixir 3.0. The materials for the Fire Elixir 2.0 were all gathered. Next was to cultivate and refine the new Fire Elixir.

Since he didn't know the specific formula for the Metal Coat, Lu Li specially collected a lot of strange metals, and decided to take them to the black market in other areas tomorrow to take a look.

As for those Elf Eggs, Lu Li didn't find any that suited his taste this year.

Ralts was okay, but he had already promised Baobao, so Lu Li chose to part with it reluctantly.

Of course, the main reason was that his requirements for the first-tier Elves had become higher. He couldn't stand Ralts with Gym Leader-level aptitude.

After taking stock of his gains, Lu Li specially made a cross-server call to Ekaterina to congratulate her on her ascension to the throne as Empress.

Ekaterina tempted, "Are you interested in coming over to be a consort? One with inheritance rights."

Lu Li: "..."

Looking at the silent Lu Li, Ekaterina continued to bewitch, "You can really consider it. Maybe you'll be Catherine X, or maybe you'll be Lu Li I."

"I'm used to being free. I'm really not used to it, but thank you for your kindness. I'll thank you properly when I'm free. By the way... Did you receive the gift I sent you?" Lu Li quickly changed the subject.

Who knew what shocking words this woman would say next.

Lu Li was quite clear about his own position.

He could have so many benefits now because of the Ideal Envoy's banner. Without this, Ekaterina might appreciate him, but it would definitely just be appreciation.

"I received the gift. You should have sent it to me on the day I ascended the throne. That way, your gift would have been the best ascension gift I received," Ekaterina complained with feigned dissatisfaction.

Lu Li weakly reminded, "Is it possible that I sent it to you a long time ago, but the logistics were relatively slow?"

Ekaterina: "..."

"Okay, you must have a lot of things to deal with now that you've just ascended the throne. I won't bother you. Goodbye."

Lu Li hung up the phone quickly after speaking.

"Eating soft rice and giving away the throne? Tempting me with this? I... almost fell for it." Lu Li thought with some relief.

This honey trap was absolutely amazing. If his identity wasn't fake, he would definitely agree to Ekaterina's request.

After shaking his head, Lu Li continued to sort out his recent gains.

Today, he collected a lot of special metals, one of which was the metal shard he cared about the most.

In the vision of Spiritual Sight, this metal shimmered with golden light, appearing exceptionally dazzling.

Lu Li fell in love with this metal at first sight.

There were no energy fluctuations on a piece of metal. The only thing worth praising was its terrifying hardness.

Lu Li also spent 2 million to get this metal. At that time, Yao Yifei said that he had money to burn and came to the black market to do charity.

The metal was a uniform orange-red color. Under the scan of his divine sense, Lu Li keenly detected the supernatural power waves contained within it.

Although he didn't know the origin of this metal, the 2 million was definitely worth it.

Even if this thing had nothing to do with elves, this metal was an excellent material for refining flying swords.
