Chapter 8: Wailmer’s Heaven-defying Qualification
Watching Lu Li, who was holding the Pokémon Egg in thought, the Wailmer in the water vat couldn’t help but spit out a few bubbles.
Hearing the sound of the bubbles bursting, Lu Li came back to his senses and tossed the Energy Cube in his hand to the Wailmer in the water.
Lu Li asked gently in a soft voice: “This is our new companion. Wailmer, are you also ready to welcome the arrival of new life?”
The Wailmer in the water vat excitedly spun around a few times, then continuously spat out several bubbles.
After teasing the Wailmer for a bit, Lu Li remembered something, formed hand seals with both hands, and whispered in his mind: “Qi Gazing Technique!”
The Qi Gazing Technique is a minor spell that diviners in the Cultivation World must learn, and its effect is to see a person’s fortune.
After coming to the Pokémon World, Lu Li modified it slightly, turning it into something that could check a Pokémon’s qualification.
The Wailmer in the fish tank was surrounded by faint purple energy. Such qualification could already be called outrageous among normal Pokémon.
This was also one of the reasons he secretly adopted the Wailmer back then. A Pokémon with faint purple qualification would at least become a Heavenly King Level Milotic in the future, barring any change.
Around the Pokémon Egg, on the other hand, was faint cyan energy. To have such qualification before hatching meant it would at least be deep cyan after hatching.
According to color division, qualifications from low to high are white, yellow, red, green, cyan, blue, purple. Actually, there’s colorless before white, which represents no qualification.
Mortals in the Cultivation World have such qualification, and most humans in this world also have such qualification.
“Tomorrow I have to go buy hatching equipment. Looks like I need to make a trip to Qingfeng City.” Lu Li, holding the Pokémon Egg, muttered softly.
Having the Wailmer perform Rain Dance in the yard, Lu Li fed the Wailmer another Energy Cube.
The Wailmer has a small appetite and only needs 4 Energy Cubes a day.
The market price of four Energy Cubes is 800 League Coins. Over these years, his parents’ death compensation has basically all gone into the Wailmer’s stomach this way.
Considering that his small savings were about to run out, Lu Li knew it was time for him to fend for himself.
But all the effort was worth it. Once the Veteran Level Wailmer evolved, it would be an Elite Level Milotic.
What concept is an Elite Level Milotic? In Qingfeng City, this third-tier city—no, even looking at the entire Jiuzhou Region or even the entire Asian Alliance—an Elite Level Trainer under 17 years old is quite explosive.
After the daily feeding of the Wailmer, Lu Li sat by the water vat holding the Pokémon Egg and began cultivating.
Due to that mysterious Blue Gem, Lu Li was surprised to find that his cultivation speed had increased significantly. Compared to the turtle-crawl speed before, his current cultivation speed was finally like a normal person walking.
This absolutely counted as a leaping improvement. Compared to before, his cultivation speed had at least increased sixfold now.
“By this calculation, I only need two years to cultivate to Qi Refining Layer Two… What the hell!”
Lu Li was numb. At this moment, Lu Li finally had a clear judgment of his own qualification.
Cultivation gets harder the further along you go. Normally, it took him twelve years to reach Qi Refining Layer One, so reaching Qi Refining Layer Two would take at least fourteen years.
Now, even with the Blue Gem as a cheat, it would still take him over two years to reach Qi Refining Second Layer.
If this weren’t a Pokémon World, Lu Li felt he could never reach the late stage of Qi Refining before dying of old age.
With a bit of depression, Lu Li quickly entered the cultivation state.
Early the next morning.
After washing up and feeding the Wailmer, Lu Li took the Pokémon Egg and got on the car to Qingfeng City.
Qingfeng City is the superior city to Qingfeng City, located in the south of the Jiuzhou Region. Qingfeng City counts as a first-tier city.
The reason for all this is that Qingfeng City has a medium-sized Secret Realm. Of course, Qingfeng City’s transportation is definitely much more convenient than Qingfeng City’s.
Soon the car arrived in Qingfeng City. Through the car window, Lu Li squinted at the Gym not far away.
Qingfeng City’s Gym is not an attribute Gym, but rather a family-oriented city Gym.
In this world, Gyms are roughly divided into two types.
The first type is ordinary Gyms, which generally rely on the city’s own Secret Realms. The rest are the Alliance’s Eighteen Attribute Gyms.
The Gym Leaders of the Eighteen Attribute Gyms are generally Heavenly King Level Trainers. Compared to ordinary Gyms, the Eighteen Attribute Gyms are the true server opening player level forces.
Seeing Lu Li staring straight at the Gym outside the window, the driver said familiarly: “Little brother, you might not know, Gym Leader Yu’s ace Pokémon broke through to Heavenly King Level four days ago.
Now Gym Leader Yu is already a Heavenly King Level Trainer. From now on, our Qingfeng City is also a city with a Heavenly King Level Trainer.”
The driver’s tone carried a bit of heartfelt joy and pride.
Lu Li smiled and nodded after hearing this, then sighed: “Gym Leader Yu is indeed impressive.”
Qingfeng City’s Gym Leader is named Yu Zhonggang, and he is also Qingfeng City’s biggest signboard. Yu Zhonggang is of commoner origin and broke through to Heavenly King Level at just 40 years old.
This talent is already quite high, and since Yu Zhonggang is from commoner origin, this talent seems even more outrageous.
Precisely because of this, some ordinary people unaware of the truth blindly worship Yu Zhonggang.
But Lu Li, who spends all day in the library, knows some things ordinary people don’t, like Yu Zhonggang’s wife Jin Fengjiao being a direct descendant of the Gym-level Family Jin Family.
Yu Zhonggang’s ace Pokémon is Aggron, the Jin Family’s signature Pokémon.
If talking about relationships, his homeroom teacher and Gym Leader Yu’s wife are relatives. If he hadn’t refused Old Ban becoming the Jin Family’s son-in-law before, Yu Zhonggang would be his elder now.
However, Yu Zhonggang did not marry into the Jin Family. He has exceptional talent, and the Jin Family is the one clinging to him.
The car soon stopped in front of the mall.
After getting off, Lu Li headed straight to the Pokémon hatching area.
Pokémon incubator, Pokémon hatching fluid…
After finding the target, Lu Li took the items and queued to pay.
Due to the time, the mall was particularly lively today. After all, students aspiring to become Trainers would buy Pokémon hatching equipment during this period.
Behind Lu Li, a beautiful woman held a little girl in her arms who looked like a porcelain doll.
The little girl curiously looked at the hiking backpack on Lu Li’s back.
“Mommy, why can this uncle carry a bag to shop here? Can I bring my little schoolbag next time?” The little girl pointed doubtfully at Lu Li’s hiking backpack and asked.
The beautiful woman quickly pressed down the little girl’s randomly pointing hand, then scolded softly: “Impolite! Call him older brother.”
After scolding, the beautiful woman continued: “The bag contains the little brother’s most important things. You’ll understand when you grow up. When you’re as old as the little brother, you can bring your schoolbag too.”
Hearing the whispers behind him, Lu Li turned his head and smiled friendly at the beautiful woman and the little girl.
In the entire mall, there weren’t many youths dressed like Lu Li, but they weren’t entirely absent either.
