Venusaur

"That's Bulbasaur!" A murmur of discussion arose around them as they looked at the Pokémon standing beside the masked man.

"No, the Bulbasaur carries on its back are unopened. This Pokémon's seeds have already split open, and there are leaves around the flower bud. It should be Venusaur, which evolved from Bulbasaur," Analytic a cultivator who had extensive knowledge of Pokémon.

Because the Mysterious Bookstore has opened up the world of the Pokémon book several times, everyone is quite familiar with the Pokémon in it. They know what some Pokémon will evolve into, what types of Pokémon have natural advantages and disadvantages against other types, and even some Sacred Beast Divine Beast have never appeared before have been researched through the Pokédex.

"My God! Doesn't that mean his Pokémon has broken through to the fourth tier?" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, staring dumbfounded at the Venusaur beside the masked man.

A single Tier 5 Pokémon has yet to appear in Dubian Town! All the Pokémon are stuck at Tier 4, and no matter what methods they try, it's useless; everyone's Pokémon are unable to progress at all.

If the Pokémon Tavern hadn't announced that Little Elf advancement required a special item, which the Mysterious Bookstore was working to acquire, and hadn't asked cultivators who owned Little Elf to remain calm, the Mysterious Bookstore's doors would probably have been blocked by these Little Elf owners long ago.

But now, they actually saw a little sprite that had broken through to the fourth tier!

Instantly, all the cultivators who possessed the little sprites went crazy.

"Young man, can you tell me how your Venusaur evolved?" A Spirit Venerable walked straight over, his aura radiating outwards, and the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion were instantly pushed aside.

Clearly, this important figure wanted to protect the masked man.

At this moment, who among the surrounding cultivators was still paying attention to the fight? They all looked at the masked man with expectant faces, hoping to learn from him the method for the little elf to break through.

The masked man shook his head and said, "There's nothing more I can do. Something unexpected happened to me."

"Young brother, please don't keep things to yourself. We are both Pokémon trainers, and we should help each other." Upon hearing the masked man's words, one of the cultivators nearby immediately became nervous and, disregarding that he had interrupted the great Spirit Venerable, hurriedly said.

The so-called Pokémon Trainers are a profession they learned about after entering the world of Pokémon. In the books, humans capture, raise, and train Pokémon, and then take them to participate in various competitions. These people are called Pokémon Trainers.

For these cultivators, being able to capture Pokémon, level up with them, and then participate in Pokémon Championship is actually quite similar to the story in the Pokémon. As a result, everyone started calling themselves Pokémon trainers.

Since people don't know much about Pokémon, the Pokémon community is open-minded and shares their training experiences so that all trainers can improve together.

The masked man refused to tell everyone how to advance Pokémon, leading everyone to believe he was hiding something. That's why the cultivator tried to get close to him by calling himself a trainer.

They had hoped it would have some effect, but to their surprise, the masked man shook his head again and said, "There's no way to do it for now."

After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, he turned to the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion and asked, "Are you still going to fight? If not, I'm going inside to read."

The members of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion exchanged glances, then turned their gazes to their Pavilion Master, awaiting his final command.

The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion Master's face was grim. The current situation was clearly not right. The sudden intervention of the Spirit Venerable and the little elf that broke through to the fourth rank had brought a lot of uncertainty to this battle.

The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion group wasn't afraid of a fifth-tier sprite. The most crucial point was that the masked man seemed to have mastered the method of breaking through from fourth to fifth tier. Based on this alone, the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion Master knew that he probably couldn't do anything to the masked man today.

Because these cultivators who wanted to know the method for the little elf's breakthrough would definitely not stand by and watch him kill the masked man.

Thinking of this, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion couldn't help but sigh and said, "Withdraw."

Then, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion and six high-ranking members vanished instantly.

Seeing that they had left, the masked man put away his Venusaur and headed towards the Bookstore.

"Young man, two million Spirit Crystal for the method to help the little elf break through." The powerful Spirit Venerable Lord looked at the masked man and said calmly.

Ma Feifei, who had just come out, happened to hear this, and her eyelids twitched instantly.

"Holy crap! Two million! No way, I have to hurry up and participate in the Quartz League Competition, otherwise it's just too painful to watch the meat in front of me but not be able to eat it." Ma Feifei thought to himself.

"I'm sorry, Venerable, even if you gave me ten million, I couldn't help you," the masked man said, stopping in his tracks.

The Spirit Venerable Lord frowned, glanced subconsciously at Ma Feifei at the door, and then said, "Five million for your Venusaur, how about it?"

"Not for sale." The masked man replied firmly, then walked towards the Bookstore. As he passed Ma Feifei, he bowed to her before entering the Mysterious Bookstore.

To everyone's surprise, the shop owner and Zhang Yunji did not stop the masked man from entering!

This is big news! You see, inside the Mysterious Bookstore, apart from staff and a small number of people who can come and go freely, everyone else needs a unique number. Without a unique number, even if you were a prince of the Chu Kingdom, you wouldn't be able to get in.

The fact that the masked man was allowed to enter the Mysterious Bookstore right in front of the owner can only mean one thing: either he had a number and it just happened to be his turn today, or he and the owner have a very good relationship!

However, the masked man first went to the Wantong Trading Market, which means that if he had gone to the Mysterious Bookstore, he would have needed to show his unique number, but he didn't.

Then there's only one explanation: he knows the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and they have a very good relationship, at least to the same extent as President Gongsun.

Who is this person, and who is their identity? How can they be friends with the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore?

In other words, since you can befriend the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, no matter how low his status is, he will have a halo above his head, and anyone who tries to touch him will have to consider the halo above their head.

Upon realizing this, the cultivators around who had previously harbored some thoughts about the masked man instantly abandoned those ideas, shook their heads and sighed, and silently left.

The powerful Spirit Venerable remained silent for a moment before leaving with a sense of resentment.

"Shopkeeper, is that Li Bieli inside?" Zhang Yunji glanced at the masked man who was hiding in a corner reading a book and asked.

Ma Feifei nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Zhang Yunji couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is he wearing a mask?"

Ma Feifei glanced at Li Bieli inside, sighed, and said, "Because he's gotten old."
