The Difficult Cultivation Journey of an 18-Type Super Mixed Spiritual Root

"Haha... I did it!"

"This Daoist master finally did it!"

Bursts of crazed laughter rang out from the quiet farmhouse courtyard.

Feebas looked worriedly at Lu Li, who was dancing around with wild gestures.

He had held on for so long. Had its Trainer finally gone crazy today?

Ever since it had come to this Home, it had repeatedly worried about its Trainer's strange behavior.

What kind of Trainer came Home after school every day just to sit in meditation? And even called it Calm Mind cultivation?

He was not even a Psychic-type Pokémon. Even an Alakazam did not necessarily need to meditate and cultivate every day.

Overcome with excitement, Lu Li scooped Feebas out of the Water Tank. Unbothered by its bumpy, ugly appearance, he planted a hard kiss on its forehead.

Another flash of concern passed through Feebas's "wise" eyes.

Its Trainer had always been a little strange, but if he truly went insane, what would happen to this Home? It was only an ordinary Feebas That Knows Rain Dance.

Once his excitement faded, Lu Li put Feebas back into the Water Tank. Wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, his heart remained filled with emotion.

Only he himself understood how he felt at this moment.

He had been accidentally reincarnated into this world for sixteen years. Carrying the Hundred Immortal Cultivation Arts cheat from a text-based game, he had naively believed at first that he had been transported into a Cultivation World.

From the moment he was born, he had already prepared himself for a long life of farming, cultivation, and striving for immortality.

But everything changed when he opened his eyes and saw that "Pink Devil."

What kind of Cultivation World had Chansey?!

He had landed in the wrong world. This was an urban Pokémon world.

Still, it did not matter.

Arceus had never said people in the Pokémon world could not cultivate.

At first, that was what he believed too. It was only after he discovered that his Golden Finger did not work that he realized Arceus really had decreed that cultivation was impossible in this world.

Because the World Rules were different, he could only find ways to turn his cheat into something suited to the Pokémon world. He studied this world's knowledge, then worked to Localize his Golden Finger.

After three years of effort, at the age of six, Lu Li, who believed himself to be a Child of Destiny, finally began cultivating.

Then something even more ridiculous happened.

What kind of spiritual root had eighteen types?!

If the worst spiritual root in the Cultivation World was a five-element Mixed Spiritual Root, then his aptitude was an 18-Type Super Mixed Spiritual Root.

Lu Li certainly had something to say about that.

I'm a normal person. Shouldn't my type be Psychic or Fighting? Even Arceus needs the Creation Plate to have eighteen types. Doesn't that mean I'm more awesome than Arceus?

The most obvious consequence of his 18-Type Super Mixed Spiritual Root was that after ten whole years of serious cultivation, he had only reached Qi Condensation Stage 1.

Even in a Cultivation World, that merely counted as getting started.

Immortality through cultivation was clearly hopeless. He might as well honestly farm and live a healthy life.

Rather than hoping his 18-Type Super Mixed Spiritual Root could grant him immortal life through cultivation, he would be better off praying that he might one day encounter Xerneas and receive Their blessing of eternal life.

After all, those odds were far greater than his odds of cultivating to immortality.

Seeing Lu Li lost in thought, Feebas in the Water Tank worriedly blew several bubbles.

Sensing Feebas's concerned gaze, Lu Li came back to himself and softly reassured it, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just a little too excited."

Entering the Qi Refining Stage, even if it was only Qi Condensation Stage 1, meant that his cheat could finally be put to use.

With the Hundred Immortal Cultivation Arts, he would have been a bona fide Grandmaster Level figure in a Cultivation World, whether in pill refining, Artifact Refining, talisman drawing, or anything else.

But after arriving in this world, because he needed to Localize his cheat, Lu Li had no idea what level he was at.

Hearing that, Feebas sighed in relief. Then it gently swayed its tail, and a light drizzle fell. Strangely, the rainfall only covered the entire farmhouse courtyard.

Spirit Rain Technique was a minor spell every Spiritual Farmer in the Immortal Cultivation World had to learn. In this world, it had become a rather special Rain Dance.

Compared to ordinary Rain Dance, the Spirit Rain Technique version came with a few special effects, such as accelerating plant growth, slightly improving a plant's aptitude, and refreshing anyone soaked by the rain.

The rain fell slowly, and the flowers and grass in the courtyard became even more vibrant with life.

Lu Li looked at the fruit tree in the corner of the courtyard, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Mei, the Wiki Berries are almost ripe. You'll soon evolve into the most beautiful Milotic," Lu Li said happily.

The Wiki Berry Tree was a deciduous climbing bush, and it was also a fruit tree well suited for growing in pots.

Unlike ordinary plants, Wiki Berries were Pokémon Berries and much harder to grow. They required more than just nutrients from the soil; they also needed special natural energy. In a Cultivation World, that would probably be called spiritual energy, while in this world, it would be called Normal-type or Grass-type energy.

Wiki Berries were one of the primary ingredients for making Blue Pokéblocks. The main purpose of Blue Pokéblocks was to polish Beauty, and Beauty was what Feebas needed to evolve.

Besides the Wiki Berry Tree, the small farmhouse courtyard also contained an Indigo Berry Tree. The Indigo Berry Tree was a climbing plant, somewhat similar to a gourd vine.

It was used to make higher-grade Blue Pokéblocks. Indigo Berries were rare Berries, and a single seed cost as much as thirty thousand League Credit.

Moreover, Indigo Berries were extremely difficult to keep alive. The fact that he could make an Indigo Berry Tree flower and bear fruit meant that he was already a novice Planter.

After chatting with Feebas for a while longer, Lu Li checked his watch. Seeing that it was nearly seven, he hurried back into his room to grab his schoolbag and instructed, "Xiao Mei, watch the house. I'm going to school."

Qingfeng City was merely a third-tier city. It had neither a Gym nor a Pokémon Center, and there was only one reason for that.

There was no Pokémon Secret Realm around Qingfeng City. Therefore, no matter how hard the city leaders tried, the city had never been able to develop.

In the Pokémon world, a city's prosperity could not exist without three things.

Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Gyms, and Pokémon Secret Realms.

Normally, the most important of these was actually the Pokémon Secret Realm. As long as a city had a Pokémon Secret Realm, Gyms and Pokémon Centers would naturally follow.

By the time Lu Li arrived at school, the clock on the classroom wall had just struck eight.

Class had begun.

There was no morning reading in the Pokémon world, and the first class was the Head Teacher's academic lesson.

The Head Teacher, wearing thick glasses, wrote two words on the blackboard—Bond.

The Head Teacher was a Middle-aged Woman in her forties. She had taught for twenty years and had served as a Head Teacher for fourteen.

"Students, remember these two words."

"If you want to become Trainers, these two words will accompany you throughout your lives and guide your entire lives."

"They will also determine your upper and lower limits!"

After saying that, the Head Teacher called on Lu Li.

"Lu Li, explain the importance of bonds to a Trainer."

Lu Li stood up after being called on and answered seriously, "Bonds are connections—the connections between Trainers and Pokémon!"

In this world, bonds were not restraints or shackles, but emotional connections formed through training and educating Pokémon.
