Energy Blocks? No! These Are Grass-type Pills!

After thinking it over again and again, Lu Li decided to stick to his original plan.

Feebas's evolution had always relied on confidence and beauty. Evolving with a Prism Scale felt like taking a shortcut.

After returning home, Lu Li released the Tropius that had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Lu Li smiled and said to the Tropius hopping around the yard, "As you saw, I ordered a lot of Berries for you. They should arrive tomorrow."

Tropius nodded happily, while Feebas leaped out of the Water Tank and excitedly pointed its tail at the Indigo Berries in the distance.

The Wiki Berries and Indigo Berries had both ripened.

The Wiki Berries and Indigo Berries in the yard were all of exceptionally high quality. According to the Berry Market's quality classifications, these Indigo Berries and Wiki Berries could all reach the Premium Berries tier.

Berries of Premium Berries quality were generally rare. Like the batch of Berries he had bought today, they were only High-Quality Tier.

Berry quality was divided into Inferior Quality first. Berries growing in the wild were generally of this quality. Since they received no care, most of them were somewhat malnourished.

Then came Normal Quality. Berries not grown by professional Planters were generally of this quality.

A slightly higher grade was Fine Quality. Such Berries could generally only be produced by specialized Orchards. After graduating from Berry cultivation, most people would work at Orchards like these, where the pay was not low either.

Then came Excellent Quality. Such Berries were already quite rare and cost several times more than ordinary Berries. Finally came Premium Berries, which were practically the highest-quality Berries available.

Energy Blocks made from Berries of different qualities would naturally differ in quality as well.

"Tropius, let's hurry and pick these Berries so we can store them properly," Lu Li urged excitedly.

Tropius nodded happily. After tasting other Berries with better flavors, it did not actually like slightly bitter Berries like Wiki Berries very much anymore.

But Tropius knew that these Berries were related to whether Sister Feebas could evolve into the beautiful Big Sister Milotic, so it was especially diligent.

Tropius held a basket in its mouth beside him, while Lu Li directed it to pick the Berries from the Vines and Bushes. Feebas in the Water Tank cheered them on from the side.

With the Trainer and Pokémon working in perfect coordination, the Berries in the yard were quickly picked clean.

Afterward, Lu Li specifically weighed them. They had harvested nearly ten jin of Indigo Berries and close to thirty jin of Wiki Berries.

If the fruit from just these two Berry trees were sold outside, their Premium Berries quality would put their starting price at at least two hundred thousand.

That was why Lu Li had always wanted to become a Farm owner.

No exaggeration, no false modesty—Lu Li felt that with his skills as a Spiritual Farmer, once he opened an Orchard, he could earn at least ten million a year.

Feebas gazed excitedly at the Berries in the basket.

Lu Li smiled reassuringly. "I'll make Blue Pokéblocks for you tomorrow."

Feebas spun excitedly in the water. It felt that evolution was truly not far away.

After refrigerating the Berries, Lu Li began his daily immortal cultivation.

Early the next morning, Lu Li was awakened by knocking at the door.

The Energy Block Machine had arrived.

After having it installed in his Home, Lu Li eagerly began studying the Energy Block Machine.

Lu Li had no intention of making this world's Energy Blocks. He wanted to Pokémon-ize the Immortal Cultivation World's Elixirs—or rather, turn Energy Blocks into Elixirs.

"Let me see how this machine works... Destroy Basic Structure, Remove Impurities, Essence Condensation, and then..."

Lu Li looked thoughtfully at the machine before him.

"Looks like my earlier guess was right. The process of making Positive Energy Blocks and alchemy in the Immortal Cultivation World really do share the same underlying principles." With his greatest concern resolved, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh of relief.

With that problem solved, it meant a new cheat ability was about to come online.

At eight in the morning, there was another knock at the door.

The Berries had arrived.

Lu Li had them moved into the house, then eagerly began his Alchemy Endeavor.

Since he had no Energy Block Recipe, Lu Li could only slowly explore things through the Game Knowledge he had from before crossing over, the Cultivation Knowledge he had learned in this world, and the alchemy knowledge inherently provided by the Hundred Immortal Cultivation Arts.

"First, the most basic Grass-type Energy Block. No... it should be called a Grass-type Pill."

Lu Li took out the Pressure Cooker Alchemy Furnace, formed Hand Seals with both hands, and dropped an Ember that looked as if it could go out at any moment into the Alchemy Furnace.

The Flame Manipulation Art was a basic minor spell that all alchemists had to learn. It was also a lower-tier spell of the True Flame Art.

Then, Lu Li began continuously adding Berries to the Alchemy Furnace with his Psychic Power.

First came extracting the essence. The Refinement Art activated, refining the essence from the Berries while the remaining impurities became fuel for the flames.

Then he added Roseli Berries and other Berries related to the Grass-type. Soon, nearly a hundred Berries had been tossed into the Alchemy Furnace. As the energy within his body was continuously consumed, sweat began forming on Lu Li's forehead, and even his breathing grew more rapid.

Half an hour later...

Lu Li stopped what he was doing, then eagerly used his Psychic Power to retrieve the few Emerald Green beads from the Alchemy Furnace.

Looking at the Elixirs in his hand, Lu Li fell into thought.

Judging by his Grandmaster Level alchemy skills, there was nothing wrong with the Elixirs before him. At the very least, they counted as a success.

They contained abundant Grass-type Energy and the Life Energy needed for Pokémon growth.

So the question now was which had better value for money: these Elixirs or Grass-type Energy Blocks?

Lu Li handed one Elixir to Tropius beside him. Seeing the Emerald Green Elixir in Lu Li's hand, Tropius eagerly swallowed it.

After seeing so many Berries thrown into the furnace in exchange for only a few Elixirs, Tropius had felt the pain in its heart.

"How does it feel? Compared to the Energy Blocks you ate before, which one is better?" Lu Li asked expectantly.

"Tro~ trop~"

(They're about the same, but after eating this, I feel really full, like I've overeaten. The Grass-type Energy and Life Energy are both way too abundant. You should hurry and use the Growth Spell on me so I can digest it.)

Lu Li: "..."

After turning off Spirit Speech, Lu Li drained the last trace of energy from his body and cast a Growth Spell on Tropius. Then he fell silent.

Good news.

The Elixir had been successfully refined.

Bad news.

The Elixir had been too successful.

Tropius could not digest it after eating it, which meant the Elixir was clearly unsuitable for a Tropius in its Growth stage.

Having a good effect was useless. What mattered most was having an appropriate effect.

Normally, this world's Energy Blocks did not have this flaw. In this world, regardless of an Energy Block's quality, Pokémon could not experience Energy Overflow unless they ate too much.

What Tropius was experiencing was something that would only happen when a low-level Pokémon used a high-level Pokémon Secret Treasure.

Not only was its energy overflowing, even its Life Energy was overflowing. This could be either a minor or major problem. Once or twice was fine, but if it happened over a long period, there would definitely be serious side effects.

The consequences of Overnutrition were the same as those of malnutrition.
