As Lu Li entered the hall, he saw Baobao and Wei beside the fireplace.

Yao Yifei was just on the side, making a call, seemingly contacting someone.

Seeing this, Lu Li quickly picked up his phone to check.

Looking at the multiple missed calls on his phone, Lu Li's expression instantly darkened.

These missed calls were from Yu Lili.

Without bothering to return the calls, Lu Li went straight to the fireplace and asked, "What's with this sudden chill?"

Wei said, "Sister Yao said this chill is coming from deep within the Qingyun Mountains; there must be a problem with the secret realm deep inside the Qingyun Mountains."

At this moment, Yao Yifei also hung up the phone and came over to explain, "There's a problem with the secret realm deep within the Qingyun Mountains."

"What problem?" Lu Li quickly asked.

Yao Yifei said, "According to the League's investigators, the entrance to the secret realm deep within the Qingyun Mountains has been frozen over, and the suspected culprit is a Master-level Pokémon."

Lu Li: "???"

A max-level boss spawned next to the newbie village? Are you kidding me!

Lu Li asked dejectedly, "Is it a wild Pokémon or a trainer's Pokémon?"

Yao Yifei: "Preliminary investigation suggests it's caused by a wild Pokémon; its type should be Ice and Dark this year, but the specifics need further investigation."

Looking at the nine generations, there are only two Ice/Dark-type Pokémon.

The ordinary Pokémon Weavile and the legendary Ruinous Pokémon Chien-Pao.

"If it wasn't a trainer commanding the Pokémon, then there's only one culprit."

With a guess in his heart, Lu Li felt completely numb.

As everyone knows, badness is the nature of Dark-type Pokémon, and a Pokémon's goodness or badness is easy to distinguish; those who like to harm other lives for no reason are the bad guys.

Chien-Pao is one of the best among them.

As one of the Four Treasures of Ruin, Chien-Pao can be said to be innocently evil.

What bad intentions could Chien-Pao have? It just likes to manipulate snow and play happily in it.

So, here comes the question again.

Why would a Ruinous Beast spawn in the secret realm in the Qingyun Mountains? Shouldn't this thing be in those icy secret realms?

He's been to the secret realm deep in the Qingyun Mountains before; the main terrain inside is definitely not ice and snow, but mountains and forests.

The current situation is that Chien-Pao has frozen the entrance to the Qingyun Mountains, the good news is that those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in.

The bad news is that he doesn't know if Chien-Pao is inside or outside.

If it's inside the secret realm, that's fine; at least the real world won't be in danger, but if it's outside, then the people in the southern region are going to suffer.

The awkward thing is, if the people in the southern region are going to suffer, he might be among the first victims.

The thought made Lu Li's scalp tingle, and he even had the urge to move.

Lu Li asked with a dark face, "So, what's the League's attitude?"

Hearing this, Yao Yifei's face instantly became even more depressed than Lu Li's.

Yao Yifei gritted her teeth and said, "The League wants me to investigate."

"You're going to investigate a Master-level Pokémon?" Lu Li looked at Yao Yifei in shock.

What's the difference between this and sending a minion to kill Sun Wukong?

Knowing that she couldn't refuse, Yao Yifei could only find some comfort in the situation, "It's just investigating; it can't be that unlucky that I'll run into the main culprit, right?"

"What about inside the secret realm?" Lu Li asked.

Yao Yifei said, "Of course, we're ignoring it; the extreme ice left behind by a Pokémon that has entered the realm of gods is harder than diamond, and the cold also has an erosive effect. Unless a Pokémon that has also entered the realm of gods makes a move, the secret realm deep in the Qingyun Mountains can only be sealed forever."

Lu Li nodded.

For the League, it doesn't matter whether the Qingyun Mountains secret realm is open or not, after all, the League can't develop it, but the families in Qingyun City, including the Yu family, may suffer heavy losses.

For example, the Yu family and the Jin family; most of the Pokémon resources in the Qingmu Black Market come from the secret realm deep within the Qingyun Mountains.

Now that this road is cut off, it will be difficult for the Qingmu Black Market to continue operating.

But there's also good news, that is, that Psychic-type Elite Four member may also be trapped in the secret realm and unable to come out.

"Sister Yao, I suggest you look around nearby; if you can't find that Pokémon, then forget it; let's not get involved in this matter," Lu Li earnestly advised.

Master-level Pokémon and Chien-Pao are two different concepts; Chien-Pao doesn't have a species.

That is to say, that Chien-Pao may have mastered divine authority and power.

As everyone knows, having divine authority and not having divine authority are two different concepts.

Yao Yifei nodded and comforted, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

The familiar ringtone suddenly rang.

Lu Li looked at the caller ID and answered directly.

"Lu Li, are you okay over there? I heard there's a problem with the secret realm deep in the Qingyun Mountains, and even our climate is affected," Yu Lili asked nervously.

Lu Li comforted, "I'm fine for now; it's just a matter of putting on more clothes."

After autumn, the weather turned cooler, and the average temperature remained around 20~25 degrees Celsius, but it's different now.

The temperature here has dropped by more than 10 degrees, and the average temperature has dropped directly below 10 degrees Celsius.

This is about the temperature of winter here; Chien-Pao just froze a secret realm entrance and directly affected the weather in an area of thousands of kilometers.

Regarding this, Lu Li can only say that the power of a divine beast is terrifying.

"It's good that you're okay." Hearing that Lu Li was okay, Yu Lili breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Li also asked with concern, "My affairs are fine; now that the Qingyun Mountains secret realm is closed, what will your Yu family do?"

"My mom and Aunt Liu Li have discussed it; now we can only cut our losses, shrink our forces, and auction off the family's real estate to survive.

We've carefully calculated that as long as our Yu family doesn't suffer too much loss, the family's resources can fully support me to the Gym Leader level," Yu Lili said, forcing a smile.

Lu Li was a little surprised to hear this; is the situation that serious? The Yu family didn't even sell off family property when Yu Zhonggang died.

Lu Li sighed, "Is it that bad?"

Yu Lili also sighed and explained, "There's no way; we've suffered heavy losses, and the other families in Qingyun City have also suffered great losses, especially my maternal grandfather's family; their losses are even more severe than ours.

The reason why my mom and Aunt Liu Li are shrinking our businesses is because they're worried that the Jin family will use our Yu family to make up for their losses."

Lu Li nodded, comforted Yu Lili again, and then hung up the phone.

After Lu Li hung up the phone, Yao Yifei sighed softly beside him, "It seems your little girlfriend's family isn't doing well either."

"I'm more worried about us now; the weather suddenly turned cold, and the farm probably isn't doing well either," Lu Li finally remembered his own losses.

"What's your little loss? At worst, just change the seeds to cold-resistant seeds," Yao Yifei rolled her eyes at Lu Li.

"Wait!"

Yao Yifei came to Lu Li in a flash, asking with a worried face, "The garden won't be affected, right?"

It's not just crops that are affected by the temperature, but also flowers!

"Don't worry, as long as the temperature doesn't drop to zero degrees Celsius, the Gracidea flowers will be fine," Lu Li comforted.

"But the problem is that it's only autumn now; when winter really comes..." Yao Yifei still looked worried.

Hearing this, Lu Li's expression also became serious.

Extreme climate affects not only Gracidea flowers, but even the orchard will be affected by then.

Lu Li asked nervously, "Do you have any Pokémon that know Sunny Day?"

Yao Yifei shook her head with a bitter expression, "Weather skills aren't that easy to learn."

Lu Li: "..."

Are weather skills hard to learn?

Lu Li doesn't think so.

In the cultivation world, there are also many spirit herbs that are very delicate, such as those that are not adapted to high or low-temperature climates.

So, the spirit farmers of the past researched a very outrageous spell—Temperature Maintaining Technique.

Of course, the Temperature Maintaining Technique is not outrageous; what's outrageous is the upper-level spell of the Temperature Maintaining Technique—Meteorological Technique.

The most outrageous thing about Meteorological Technique is that it can change the climate of a certain area and turn it into any climate.

Whether it's snowing or sunny, or even hailstorms and tornadoes, the main thing is that it's outrageous.

He certainly can't turn such a heaven-defying spell as Meteorological Technique into a Pokémon skill; at least he can't do it now.

But the Temperature Maintaining Technique is still quite simple; this spell can be considered a small spell, and its difficulty is not even higher than Spirit Infusion Technique.

Even the Temperature Maintaining Technique can only treat the symptoms, and only temporarily; after all, he can't stay at home all the time, and he can't use the Temperature Maintaining Technique on the garden and orchard every day.

The duration of a Temperature Maintaining Technique is only seven days, and it's also range-limited; with the area of the orchard and garden, one Temperature Maintaining Technique can last for a maximum of three days.

When spells are useless, Pokémon skills have to stand up.

Charmander, Tropius, the organization is testing you!

As everyone knows, Charmander and Tropius cannot learn the weather skill Sunny Day.

As for whether they'll learn it or not?

Lu Li said to trust the wisdom of his partners.

"I'll go check the orchard first." After Lu Li finished speaking, he left the villa with Charmander's Poké Ball.

As soon as he arrived at the orchard, Lu Li saw Tropius constantly hovering in the sky above the orchard.

It was circling anxiously in the sky; Tropius, who had already started self-studying the planting of berries, had begun to worry about the impact of the sudden drop in temperature on the orchard.

Seeing Lu Li's arrival, Tropius looked like it had seen a savior.

"Trop~"

("Trainer, you're finally here.")

Lu Li, instantly understanding what it was worried about, comforted, "Don't worry, these fruit trees can't be frozen to death yet."

"Trop~"

("It's not a matter of temperature; this cold current is mixed with deep malice, which will definitely affect the quality of the fruits and vegetables.")

Lu Li: "..."

Hearing that there was such an impact, Lu Li was also stunned.

Chien-Pao truly deserves the name Disaster Pokémon.

Any natural disaster that can harm crops is the most terrifying disaster for humans.

Lu Li stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The first thing Lu Li thought of was that miraculous energy field shield, which could definitely block the cold current and the so-called malice.

But that thing is expensive; he can't afford that money now, even the lowest-level energy field shield.

"So, now the problem to be solved is not just the temperature, but also resisting the malice in the cold?" Lu Li looked thoughtfully at the orchard in front of him.

If it were before the College Entrance Examination Competition, he would definitely be helpless in the face of such a situation.

But now.

It's time to let this world see the power of cultivation!

He certainly can't set up too profound of a barrier; he doesn't have that level.

But if it's just setting up a barrier to resist some simple malice, he can still do it.

But before that, he has to go study it.

After comprehending simple space runes, he was only busy with making talismans and space rings; he really didn't delve into the barrier aspect.

But with the experience of the past, a simple space shielding barrier can still be researched quickly.

Having made a decision in his heart, Lu Li first comforted Tropius, then cast Temperature Maintaining Technique on the orchard and garden, and then rushed back to the basement.

Barrier technology Pokémon-ization is starting!

A barrier is basically another kind of formation, or even a low-profile version of a formation, so it's still simple to research.

Seeing Lu Li rushing back and diving into the basement again, Yao Yifei and Wei looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Li is always so busy, as if something is chasing him from behind.

Lu Li certainly couldn't tell them this feeling.

It's like a vault is right in front of you, but you can only take one coin out of it each time; at this time, any normal person knows that they have to speed up the rate of taking coins.

Barrier research begins!

Just as Lu Li was preparing to delve into the research, a cross-regional call disturbed Lu Li.

Big Goose... no, it should be called the Glacial Empire now.

Knowing that it was Ekaterina's call, Lu Li answered the phone.

Ekaterina asked in a certain tone, "Lu Li, did something happen on your side?"

"Yes."

Lu Li nodded.

Qingyun City originally had the Glacial Empire's spies; Ekaterina was able to know about this so quickly, so someone must have reported it to her.\u0026#x20;

Ekaterina didn't beat around the bush and directly confessed, "Listen to me, what's in the secret realm deep in the Qingyun Mountains isn't some Master-level Pokémon, but an evil god with divine authority and power; if possible, you should leave the southern region as soon as possible."

Lu Li frowned in confusion.

How did Ekaterina know? Even if she has spies in Qingyun City, it can't be that outrageous, right? You know, even the League doesn't know about this yet.

"Believe me! I've seen Him with my own eyes before; at that time, He had just recovered, and His strength was only Elite Four level, but now it's not certain," Ekaterina said with utmost seriousness.

If possible, even if it's an evil god, they, the Ekaterina family, would like to get their hands on it.

The problem now is that the secret realm is too far from the Glacial Empire, and it's still in the Kyushu region.

Now that such a commotion has erupted, it's almost impossible to keep the news a secret. If the Kyushu Alliance investigates this matter thoroughly, they'll be able to uncover the whole truth.

Instead of clinging to this secret, it's better to quickly remind Lu Li to move.
