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

Cultivators have many benefits, such as using meditation to replace sleep and being able to cultivate while being aware of their surroundings.

The benefit of doing this is that there is no need to arrange for精灵to stand guard in the wild, and both精灵and trainers can get enough rest.

Early the next morning, Lu Li led his energetic精灵on a new adventure.

As before, he rode on Tropius, flying low, and used his mental power to search for treasures.

Unfortunately, his luck wasn't great today, at least not in the morning.

After searching for a morning, Lu Li only found some herbs that could replace spirit herbs. They weren't worthless, but they weren't much either.

Around noon.

Lu Li and his精灵carefully arrived at the area where the Sandshrew family lived.

Sandshrew are not social精灵. They may form family units, but Sandshrew will leave their families after they mature.

The Sandshrew family that the Ludicolo leader mentioned was four Sandshrew: a simple family consisting of parents and two children.

When they found this family, they were sunbathing on a stone slab.

Sandshrew don't have many natural enemies. Arbok is half of one, but wild Arbok rarely attack Sandshrew with families.

The reason is simple: they can't win.

As the saying goes, 'two fists can't beat four hands,' especially since Arbok doesn't have hands.

After carefully approaching the Sandshrew with Milotic, Lu Li whispered, "Milotic, use Attract to trap these Sandshrew."

Milotic nodded.

A beautiful sound rang through the forest. The Sandshrew family, who were sunbathing, couldn't help but close their eyes and enjoy the pleasant song.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Li quickly approached the Sandshrew family, and four self-made Poké Balls flew towards the Sandshrew.

The controlled Sandshrew were captured by the Poké Balls without any resistance.

The Poké Balls only shook gently twice after landing before becoming still.

Picking up the Poké Balls, Lu Li breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lu Li released the strongest Sandshrew.

The freed Sandshrew looked around in confusion.

Had it just been captured?

No!

It seemed like its whole family had been captured?

Thinking of this, Sandshrew glared at Lu Li in anger.

That damned human was too despicable, actually ambushing them while they were napping.

After activating Spirit Speech, Lu Li comforted, "Don't be angry, have something to eat first."

Lu Li chose to offer Sandshrew a sweet treat first.

Looking at the energy cube Lu Li handed over, Sandshrew felt a hint of disdain.

A mere human actually dared to try to buy them off with food? Sandshrew would never be slaves!

Despite its disdain, Sandshrew, which was indeed a little hungry, still picked up the energy cube on the ground.

Life for wild精灵is actually quite difficult. Sometimes, they are hungry three times a day.

Faced with the temptation of food, wild精灵generally can't resist, but most wild精灵will turn hostile after eating.

As for being captured after eating your food?

Just think about it.

"So delicious, so much energy..."

Sandshrew squinted its eyes, savoring the aftertaste in its mouth.

For wild精灵, energy cubes are delicious and highly nutritious candy.

If it was this delicious, being captured seemed...

Sandshrew wavered. Sandshrew felt that if its family could enjoy this kind of food every day, it might not be so bad to be captured by humans.

Seeing that Sandshrew's hostility wasn't as strong as before, Lu Li said, "How about you work for me, and I'll provide you with food?"

"Shrew?"

("You speak first, and I'll decide whether to agree.")

"It's like this..."

Lu Li told Sandshrew about the Water Stone mine.

Sandshrew hesitated after listening.

Working for someone, with flexible working hours, and protection from a霸主, and most importantly, no boss watching over them.

Sandshrew suddenly realized that this job wasn't impossible.

"The more you work, the more you get. The more Water Stones you dig, the more energy cubes I'll provide," Lu Li continued to encourage.

After speaking, Lu Li added, "Energy cubes are what you just ate."

"Shrew!"

("Deal! But you have to give me some benefits first.")

As the pillar of the family, Sandshrew was obviously more shrewd than ordinary wild精灵, but not much smarter.

After both sides reached a deal, Lu Li released the Sandshrew family. After the Sandshrew father explained.

A win-win deal was reached.

Looking at the Sandshrew gnawing on the energy cubes with relish, the corners of Lu Li's mouth also slightly curved upwards.

This is how the relationship between humans and wild精灵is established. Even Lian Sheyi's acquaintance with Arbok was because Lian Sheyi's ancestors had reached a similar deal with Arbok.

After the deal was reached, Lu Li took Sandshrew back to the camp.

The Ludicolo leader also arrived as promised. After the handover, Lu Li took the Sandshrew family to the Water Stone mine.

Although the Sandshrew family was not very satisfied with their future working environment, they were not too disgusted because of the energy cubes.

"Your reward will be settled every Monday. I will come here every week. I'll leave this place to you from now on." Lu Li left a pile of energy cubes and said goodbye to the Sandshrew.

Thus, the two-day adventure came to an end.

After returning to the villa, Lu Li first checked the orchard and was relieved to confirm that the seedling trees were fine.

It wasn't until the cell phone ringtone in his pocket rang at dinner that Lu Li remembered something.

He seemed to have promised Yu Lili to call her.

As a result, Yu Lili had not received his call for a long time, so Yu Lili chose to take the initiative to contact him.

"Lili? Have you arrived at Wavecrest City?" Lu Li asked preemptively.

"I've been here for two days." Yu Lili's resentful voice came from the phone, like an abandoned woman.

Hearing this, Lu Li was a little embarrassed.

"I've been exploring in the wild these two days and accidentally forgot the time," Lu Li explained embarrassedly.

Yu Lili's voice became even more resentful, "It seems that I really affect your performance by being by your side. As soon as I left, you started exploring in the wild."

Lu Li: "..."

"Cough cough."

Pretending to cough, Lu Li quickly changed the subject, "How is it at the Wavecrest Gym? Are you used to it?"

"I'm used to it, but..."

Yu Lili paused for a moment, then said with emotion, "I just feel that this world is so big, and my proud talent doesn't seem to be so valuable here."

"No! What you are most proud of should be your family background," Lu Li complained in his heart.

"What? Did you encounter a very heaven-defying genius at this Wavecrest Gym?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Not really." Yu Lili explained, "There are many geniuses at the Wavecrest Gym, but I haven't seen any that I would consider monstrous. After all, I haven't seen a genius more monstrous than you."

Lu Li: "..."

Lu Li didn't expect that he had actually refreshed Yu Lili's perception of the upper limit of talent. Lu Li felt that he should be a little proud.

"It's good that you're used to it there. If you have any Sitrus Berries there, remember to collect them. After all, you still have 5精灵that need the improved version of the Speed Boost Serum," Lu Li instructed again.

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Yu Lili's face, and then she happily assured, "Don't worry, I've been paying attention to the news of those rare berries."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you." Lu Li said and hung up the phone.

"I..."

Yu Lili looked at her cell phone speechlessly and muttered depressedly, "I still have a lot to say to you."

The young man opposite Yu Lili saw that Yu Lili had put down her cell phone, so he curiously came over and asked, "Did you find a boyfriend so quickly? Did your family agree?"

Yu Lili said expressionlessly, "They agreed, and my parents even encouraged it."

"Is that so? That's great." The young man said enviously.

Those born into wealthy families can never avoid one thing, and that is political marriage.

This kind of thing is often not something they can choose. He envied Yu Lili because Yu Lili seemed quite satisfied with her parents' choice.

The young man said with emotion, "But speaking of which, the daughter of a Steel-type Gym Leader actually likes Water-type?"

"What's so strange about that? Isn't the son of a Fire-type Gym Leader here at the Wavecrest Gym as an apprentice?" Yu Lili rolled her eyes at the young man.

If you want to talk about strangeness, it's strange that the son of a Fire-type Gym Leader actually likes Water-type, right?

"I had no choice." The young man smiled awkwardly yet elegantly.

"I'm not chatting anymore. The teacher should be free at this time. I'm going to ask him for advice." After Yu Lili finished speaking, she left the lounge without looking back.

…………

After putting down his cell phone, Lu Li returned to his bedroom and opened his computer to search for information about the Azure Cloud Mountains.

Most of the information online may be false. What Lu Li really cared about was whether there were many trainers going to the Azure Cloud Mountains.

If there were many, then the Ludicolo would be at risk of exposure. Any knowledgeable trainer would be able to associate the Water Stone mine with the sight of a large number of Ludicolo.

In fact, the best way to deal with this matter is to kill all the Ludicolo there, so as to minimize the risk of discovering the Water Stone mine.

However, Lu Li disdained that.

The good news is that elite trainers who can be active in the middle circle generally go to the depths of the Azure Cloud Mountains in groups to explore, and rarely explore the middle circle alone.

Ordinary-level trainers only dare to wander around the periphery. Even powerful elite trainers generally choose to explore secret realms, rather than barren places like the Azure Cloud Mountains.

This was good news for Lu Li. The less attention the Azure Cloud Mountains received, the longer his days of quietly making a fortune would last.

After turning off the computer, Lu Li sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

Calculating the time, tomorrow will be the agreed date, the Grimer gathering place in the underground sewers of Azure Cloud City, where there is a chance of出現Black Sludge.
