Chapter 306: Three Surnames? Four Surnames? Turns Out To Be A Slave To Five Families!
When the cultivation speed is too slow, there’s only the issue of slow cultivation speed, that trouble, but now there are many more things to worry about.
There are many kinds of Foundation Establishment in the Cultivation World.
The most common is taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is the most standard Foundation Establishment and also the most ordinary kind. Almost 99% of cultivators use this method.
The second kind of Foundation Establishment is the Spirit Item Foundation Establishment Method. The advantage of this Foundation Establishment Method is that it’s particularly cheap, and it’s something most rogue cultivators choose only when they’re desperate.
The spirit item of the Spirit Item Foundation Establishment Method determines the success rate of Foundation Establishment and how far one can go in the future, but even the top spirit item is not as good as one Foundation Establishment Pill.
The third kind is the Blessed Land Foundation Establishment Method, using a Blessed Land for Foundation Establishment. The advantage is an extremely high success rate, but the disadvantage is also obvious: it doesn’t follow the usual path.
The Blessed Land Foundation Establishment Method has many benefits, such as 100% Foundation Establishment success, and its lifespan can even match that of the Blessed Land.
But it also has many drawbacks, such as slow cultivation speed, and afterward one can only become a “Ground Dweller,” and even call it “Blessed Cultivation” proudly.
In Lu Li’s view, this thing is just turning oneself into the world spirit of a small world.
The third path definitely cannot be chosen. As the saying goes, though the three thousand great paths diverge, they all lead to the same end. Although everyone’s endpoint is the same, if there’s a choice, why not choose the broad avenue? Why take the narrow path?
Lu Li cannot choose the first method either, not because he looks down on such Foundation Establishment, but because he can’t choose it.
But even Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine is not guaranteed to be found in a short time, let alone the spirit items needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
If the first one cannot be chosen, then directly using the Spirit Item Foundation Establishment Method is what’s left for him.
But the Spirit Item Foundation Establishment Method also has obvious drawbacks. First, the success rate is not high, but for him who already has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, his requirements in this aspect are not very high.
He only needs to increase the success rate by ten percent, and it becomes 100%.
But the Spirit Item Foundation Establishment Method has another flaw: the attribute of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine determines his future cultivation attribute.
For example, if he uses Grass Attribute Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine, then the cultivation techniques he can practice afterward can only be Grass Attribute.
For people with single attribute spiritual roots, this is not a difficult choice, but the problem is that he has an 18-attribute spiritual root.
Moreover, due to different world rules, Lu Li really doesn’t dare to guarantee that he can find multi-attribute Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine.
Cultivating with an 18-attribute mixed spiritual root is indeed quite difficult, but isn’t this also a unique kind of advantage? When he hadn’t solved the cultivation speed problem before, he felt that an 18-attribute mixed spiritual root was acceptable.
Now that the cultivation speed problem is solved, it’s even harder for him to give up the 18 attributes.
Lu Li sat at the desk by the window, looking somewhat dazedly at the scenery outside.
What can be confirmed is that divine items in this world can be used as Foundation Establishment spirit items.
After all, it concerns his future, so the Foundation Establishment spirit item definitely has to be the best.
Question: What is the best divine item in the Pokémon World?
Anyone who knows Pokémon can answer instantly, even a casual Pokémon fan can answer it.
That’s right!
It’s Alpaca’s eighteen Plates.
Using Alpaca’s eighteen Creation Stone Tablets for Foundation Establishment—Lu Li doesn’t dare to imagine how awesome he’ll be then.
The only problem now is that he doesn’t even have one Creation Stone Tablet, let alone eighteen.
If the Creation Stone Tablets won’t work, then the remaining options are quite limited.
Speaking of which…
Lu Li couldn’t help but touch the Gem on his necklace.
Terapagos’s Tera Crystal seems usable too, after all, it’s Tera attribute, which can be considered pseudo-18 attributes.
As a fallback, the World Beginning Tree seems possible too—that thing might also have 18 attributes.
As for the rest.
Gimmighoul’s 18 Attribute Masks are also an option. Although in anime or games, Gimmighoul only has three masks, this is the real world, so 18 Attribute Masks are absolutely feasible.
The current problem is that these Attribute Masks don’t seem to be naturally formed. Lu Li isn’t sure if they count as heaven-and-earth spirit items.
Moreover, the most important thing is that divine items seem to have uniqueness. If he uses these masks for Foundation Establishment, Gimmighoul might be ruined.
A single-attribute Gimmighoul would absolutely be at the bottom among all divine beasts—Suicune could come over and step on it.
“Great! It seems there are only two choices left for me.” Lu Li quickly made his decision.
The first choice is definitely to strive to become Arceus’s cousin. He only hopes that this world’s Arceus isn’t that origin Arceus who created the infinite Pokémon worlds.
If it’s just an avatar of Arceus, although it’s still usurpation, at least a single-universe-level Arceus is easier to bully.
Although for him now, if Arceus really gets angry, whether it’s the main body or an avatar makes no difference.
The second target is the World Tree.
Mew is relatively easier to bully, after all, its main divine duty isn’t combat. If he has to choose between fighting Arceus and fighting Mew, definitely fighting Mew is better.
As for Terapagos’s Tera Crystal, Lu Li doesn’t even know if that thing really exists, and…
Lu Li doesn’t dare to guarantee that after having this thought now, Terapagos won’t jump out and crush him directly.
Although Terapagos might be easier to bully than Mew and Arceus, the problem is that Terapagos might be right beside him.
Let you collect the Creation Stone Tablets, hoping to gather them all in his lifetime. If it really doesn’t work, abandoning a few attributes is also fine.
After making the decision, Lu Li, whose mood instantly relaxed a lot, left the room.
No longer needing to worry about cultivation, Lu Li decided to relax properly for a couple of days, but before that, he had to solve one trouble first.
After arriving in the living room, Lu Li called Freya and Yao Yifei over.
Freya is quite lucky—or more precisely, Natural Bird’s Foresight is very strong.
After they separated in the secret realm, Natural Bird saw their star of death flickering, knowing that staying in the secret realm would lead to a miserable death. Natural Bird forcibly brought Freya out.
It was precisely because of this that Freya narrowly survived.
After witnessing Gimmighoul, Freya knelt down extremely smoothly.
Freya herself has no sense of patriotism. Born in the South American Alliance, Freya immigrated to the European Alliance at age six, later followed her uncle to the North American Alliance, and now has thrown her lot in with him.
Facing Freya’s such rich resume, Lu Li sincerely wanted to give a thumbs up and say, “What a turncoat.”
South American Alliance, European Alliance, North American Alliance, Asian Alliance—she’s just one African Alliance short of collecting all Five Great Alliances’ signatures.
Wait.
“You said you also garrisoned in the African Alliance? Were you a Gym Leader there for a while?” Lu Li looked at the girl in front of him with a strange gaze.
Freya’s age is about the same as Yao Yifei’s, meaning the girl in front of him has already collected all the pieces of the Pokémon World.
Lu Li solemnly gave her a thumbs up.
“You’re really amazing. With such a rich resume, how did you become a Regional Heavenly King?” Lu Li asked curiously.
He was quite curious about this matter. Normally, Freya couldn’t possibly become a Regional Heavenly King of an alliance.
Freya answered confidently: “Because of talent and strength.”
“Unlike a certain big star.” As Freya spoke, she glanced at Yao Yifei beside her, then continued: “I didn’t take the wrong path, and I’m a Psychic Type Heavenly King Level Trainer. Not just the North American Alliance—even the Jiuzhou Alliance would definitely give me a Heavenly King position if I joined.”
The implicitly criticized Yao Yifei didn’t get angry, but instead added from the side: “People like Freya are called Master seeds. Whichever alliance she goes to, she’ll be strongly supported, not to mention the North American Alliance—no, now it’s just the American Alliance.”
Yao Yifei looked at Freya gloatingly, counting it as retaliation for Freya’s earlier insinuation.
“The American Alliance has no real natives; they banded together for benefit and don’t care where you’re from. They value worth more.”
Freya nodded, indicating that things were indeed like that.
“No wonder no one cared after you got into trouble.” Lu Li suddenly understood.
Freya’s greatest value is when she’s alive, but a dead genius has no value at all.
Lu Li probed: “Being treated like this, aren’t you angry?”
“Of course it’s fake to say I’m not angry, but I’ve long been mentally prepared for such things.” Freya acted as if she didn’t take it to heart.
What kind of nature does the North American Alliance have? How could she, as a Regional Heavenly King, not know?
“So you’re really determined to follow me?” Lu Li looked at Freya seriously.
Freya nodded decisively.
In terms of strength alone, Lu Li’s strength is negligible in front of him.
But behind him stands a deity, and not long ago he even commanded that deity to participate in a Divine War, and most importantly, he won that Divine War.
Seeing Freya so decisive, Lu Li asked incredulously: “Don’t you have any conditions?”
Hearing this, Freya laughed, as if laughing at Lu Li’s naivety.
After laughing, Freya looked at Lu Li seriously: “Have you heard this saying?”
“What?”
“Following a Divine Envoy is itself a Boon.”
“But you’re a Psychic Type Trainer.” Lu Li reminded.
“I know my attribute doesn’t match the deity you’re following, but…” Freya gave Yao Yifei a meaningful glance.
“I know you have a Psychic Attribute divine item in your possession, and it’s at least one left by a Tier 1 God.”
Before Lu Li could react, Yao Yifei jumped up excitedly.
Yao Yifei, whose facial expression paled slightly, nervously explained to Lu Li: “I absolutely never used the divine item in front of her, nor mentioned it.”
Seeing this, Lu Li quickly soothed: “Alright, why react so big? This isn’t a life-or-death matter.”
After calming down, Yao Yifei asked coldly: “How did you know?”
Freya said with a smile: “Don’t you know that the aura of divine items can linger?”
Freya pointed at the Espeon next to Yao Yifei: “Your Espeon stayed next to that divine item too long. The moment she appeared, my companion detected the aura on her.”
Hearing this, Yao Yifei frowned tightly, inwardly blaming herself for being too careless.
Lu Li also raised an eyebrow: “There’s such a thing?”
Lu Li asked: “Then what do you see on me?”
Freya said: “You should have a divine item from a Tier 3 God on you, Flying Attribute.”
Hearing this, Lu Li also looked surprised at the Natural Bird standing behind Freya like a statue, then asked in surprise:
“This was also sensed by your Natural Bird?”
Freya nodded: “My Natural Bird has a special talent; it’s particularly sensitive to the auras of Psychic and Flying Type divine items.”
Lu Li nodded and sincerely praised: “This talent is indeed impressive.”
Freya teased: “So… my boss, do you have anything else you want to ask?”
Lu Li rubbed his chin and hinted meaningfully: “I probably know why you want to stay by my side now. If you’re willing to pay a little price, you can use that divine item too.”
Freya looked at Lu Li in surprise.
She didn’t expect this young Divine Envoy to be so superficial.
However…
Unable to resist glancing at Lu Li’s handsome and dashing face, Freya found that this wasn’t unacceptable.
After all, both Lu Li’s appearance and temperament are quite outstanding, not to mention he’s a Divine Envoy, and most importantly, Lu Li is a younger brother.
If anything, it seems like she’s the one profiting.
“I have no objection, but does the one beside you allow it?” Freya deliberately gave Yao Yifei a provocative look.
The called-out Yao Yifei looked confused at Freya, who was trying to provoke her with her eyes.
The clueless Yao Yifei complained: “Why ask my opinion on this? Of course I wish for you to be marked by Lu Li.”
Hearing this, Freya inwardly exclaimed pervert.
“No wonder you can stay by the boss’s side.” Freya sincerely admired.
After all, not every woman has such a mindset and tolerance.
“Since neither of you objects, I have no objection either—after all, I’m the one profiting.” Freya nodded.
“Alright! Then we’re our own people from now on.” Lu Li said excitedly.
The impatient Lu Li rubbed his hands and asked: “Shall we start now?”
“Ah!”
“Here?”
Freya looked at Lu Li with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert.
Freya thought she’d seen capitalist corruption, but she never expected the supposedly conservative and traditional Jiuzhou Region to play so wildly.
“This isn’t good, right? How about I go to your room?” Freya asked hesitantly.
“Does engraving a Curse Seal have to be this troublesome?” Lu Li, inwardly speechless, explained: “No need for that much trouble, it’s quick! Back then, that girl Bao Bao didn’t even feel a thing—it was done instantly.”
“Hiss~”
Freya sucked in a cold breath.
