A few hours later, Issei made the pills he promised Ye Zong and Ye Xiu. Issei was producing over a thousand pills every few minutes as he created over a dozen duplicates of himself. Yang Xin saw this and was amazed at Issei's ability.

Once Issei was done with the pill creation, he placed all the pills in a container and sent them into a storage ring. Soul Assembling Pills, Soul Nurturing Pills, Soul Concentration Pills, and Soul Tempering Pills, Issei made tens of Thousands of each pill. This wasn't something a typical Grand Master is capable of.

"Such a versatile ability," Yang Xin said. If she could duplicate herself, she would be able to learn more with less time. With it, she would be able to learn alchemy at a rapid pace. "I-Is there a way for me to learn such ability?".

"Unfortunately, the Images of Ikonn isn't something you'll be able to learn, but I'll see about you learning similar ability," Issei said. Mystic Arts are something anyone can learn, but that's only if you live in a world where the power originated and can only be used there, making Issei special. With his (Magic Talent – God), all his spells are turned into True Magic. Hence, he can use it without borrowing power from Extra-Dimensional beings such as the Vishanti.

While Yang Xin was staring at Issei, she also felt the presence of Ning'er.

"Hmm… Don't you have classes in the Holy Orchid Institute?" Yang Xin asked Ning'er. With the little girl's age, she should still be a student. "Aren't you heading to school? It should have started a few hours ago".

"Classes are cancelled until further notice," Ning'er said. That's why she was in the room of Issei cultivating. Soon, she would reach Silver rank. "And I don't want to head home and deal with the Elders. They're annoying".

In the Black Spring below the ravine of the Heavenly Fate Plateau, Raynare was exploring the place and killing any Demonic Beast that dared to attack her. At the end of the swamp, Raynare saw a mountain wall, but it looked suspicious.

Inspecting the wall, Raynare realised that it was a door. However, no matter how Raynare looked, she couldn't find a way to open it. So, she gave up and headed back to the top of the mountain.

After a few minutes of resting and eating congee, Raynare decided to head back to Glory City and cuddle with Issei. She also wants Issei to look at the mountain wall, which is actually a door, and see if he can open it.

It was frustrating for Raynare not to be able to open the mountain wall door, but even with [Super Strength of the White Tiger], it still wouldn't budge. Hence, she requires Issei's help. Raynare was quite sad about this as she wanted to bring back a gift if she found something interesting, but it couldn't be helped. The only thing she found interesting in her exploration was the mountain door that she couldn't open.

"Ah! Why did it have to be this way?!" Raynare said. She was returning to Glory City without bringing Issei a gift. "Damn it! I wanted to give him a gift, but nothing was interesting around. Ah! Issei's given me so much, and I haven't done much for him! Tsk! Now, I have to go back with nothing…".

Raynare felt dejected. She flew back to Glory City.

As for Issei, he was watching Yang Xin and Ning'er cultivating. After sixty tries, Yang Xin had exhausted herself by making a few pills. As For Ning'er, Issei can tell that she is now showing affection toward him, but he can't reciprocate it yet.

[If the User wants to let Ning'er grow up, there is a way. In the Gacha Shop, look for the (Martial Arts Practice) card. Usually, it would have an anti-ageing effect, but you can request it be removed since you want her to age. Plus, it can help Ning'er with training]

'Wait, I knew of the Martial Arts Practise card. Isn't that the one they have to stay in a special space that would help them train?' Issei said. He saw it in the shop long ago, but he never needed it. To think that he could have used it this way to help Ning'er grow older is brilliant. 'That's good but wouldn't Ning'er be burdened of staying in a space alone?'.

[Not to worry, the Martial Arts Practice card has an enlightenment effect. The years that she stays inside would only feel like a few days. Isn't that great? You wouldn't have to wait a few years for Ning'er]

'That's good and all, but wouldn't Ning'er still have the mind of thirteen years old?' Issei said. Although Ning'er might be older, her thought process is as important as her physical age. 'I don't want to date an adult that is still technically a child'.

[User, are you not reading my messages correctly? The Martial Arts Practice card has an enlightenment effect. That isn't limited to martial arts. Enlightenment is a state of mind. That would mean her thoughts are going to grow along with her physical body]

'That makes more sense,' Issei said. He sighed a breath of relief. 'Okay, system. Open the shop for me and refresh the list as many times as possible until a Martial Arts Practice card is available'.

The Gacha System refreshed the list over a thousand times before the Martial Arts Practice card appeared. It cost Issei one million credits for him to find the card he wanted.

[Ultimate Gacha Shop Function – (Credits: 682,471,800)

'System, purchase the Martial Arts Practice, Blue Like Morning Sky Flame and Nine Five Legendary Brick. I don't know what that brick is, but it's quite intriguing to see it ranked at Legendary," Issei said. The Martial Arts Practice was for Ning'er, the Blue Like Morning Sky Flame if for Yang Xin as it can aid her in alchemy, and the Nine Five Legendary brick was for Issei due to his curiosity. "How much credit do I have remaining after all the goods are bought?".

[Purchasing (Martial Arts Practice – 5 years – Epic), (Blue Like Morning Sky Flame – Mythical) and (Nine Five Legendary Brick – Legendary) …]

[Remaining Credit: 571, 471,800]

"I'm supposed to be saving credits for Mirror World, but I can help but buy all this useful stuff, well, mostly useful stuff. I still don't know what the Nine Five Legendary Brick is," Issei said. He then took out the card for the brick and activated it. It was indeed a brick. However, reading the description was insane. "Holy damn! As long as I hit the opponent in the head with this brick, it's a guaranteed knockout!".

Issei was laughing like a maniac. This was a perfect weapon for his parents. If there are Devils or other Supernatural people that want to hurt them, all they have to do is hit them on the head once, and the fight is over.

The brick is good, but Issei wanted to change its look. So, he used Heaven Flames of Transmogrification to change the brick into a bat. This is a weapon that Issei's father is familiar with.

Later at night, Raynare arrived back in Glory City. When she went to the Red Leaf Inn, Issei spoke with two people. They were Ye Xiu and Ye Zong. Issei was handing them storage rings that contained the pills that he concocted. When the two men left, Raynare entered the room.

"Issei! I missed you!" Raynare shouted as she hugged Issei. It's only a few days, but she missed Issei quite a lot. That's why she was dejected, not being able to get Issei a gift. "It's so nice to be able to hug you again".

"You were only gone for two days and one night," Issei said. He was caressing Raynare's cheeks as she looked at Issei with a smile. "Did you really miss me that much?".

"I did! I even wanted to bring you a gift, but nothing was interesting. So, I didn't get to bring you anything," Raynare said. This made her mood dampen a bit. But Issei kissed her, and Rayner's mood became cheery again. "Although, I found an interesting place".

Raynare told Issei about finding a settlement on top of a mountain, but that's not the interesting part. At the foot of the mountain within a ravine, there was a swamp, and at the end of it, a mountain wall door was waiting.

"That's quite interesting," Issei said. There was no reason for something like that to be for no reason. This piqued Issei's curiosity. "Let's head there in a few days with Ning'er and Yang Xin, but I need them to reach Silver rank first to train in the Heaven's Path Golden Body and the other arts they chose".

Raynare nodded at Issei. She was truly curious about the mountain door. Raynare thought Issei might have to prepare for a few days before heading there. But Issei's curiosity made him decide to head there as soon as possible.

"By the way, who were the two men that were just here?" Raynare asked. The two men looked like dignified people, which would mean a noble in this world. "I don't think I've seen them before around here".

"They are the City Lord and his…attendant? I think the old man was an attendant," Issei said. He was unsure about their relationship, but they looked pretty close, like family. "Anyway, they were just here to take the pills I made for them".

"What kind of pills? Is it the Zhenqi Gathering Pills?" Raynare asked. "Are those even useful for them. I thought the Zhenqi Gathering Pills are meant for the Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual?".

"It's not Zhenqi Gathering Pills. I wouldn't give such high-ranking pills to anyone but people I have a close relationship with," Issei said. The different Soul Enhancing Pills that Issei made for the City Lord are low-ranking pills, worthless to someone like Yang Xin and Ning'er. Otherwise, Issei wouldn't give such an item for free. "The ones I gave are Soul Assembling Pills, Soul Nurturing Pills, Soul Concentration Pills, and Soul Tempering Pills. Among the hierarchy of pills, they are nothing but garbage. Those pills are only helpful for people to reach the so-called Legend rank".

"I don't understand," Raynare said. Why would Issei even give them something in the first place? "Why even give them anything in the first place? I know that's not your style".

"Ha-ha-ha! That's because I destroyed one of the Major Families of Glory City. Due to that, the City is now weaker," Issei said. Raynare was still confused. "I know what you're thinking. But the answer to your question is simple. In a few months, this city will be invaded by Demonic Beast".

That's right. The real reason why Issei gave the pills to the City Lord is that he didn't want to be the cause of the City's downfall. Killing one of the Major Families responsible for the protection of the City weakened the defences. Issei didn't want to be the reason for the City's destruction because of his action.

True, Issei can just destroy the Demonic Beast Horde that was forming due to the ascension of Demonic Beast to the Legend rank and gaining Divine Wisdom. But why would he do that? He gains nothing from it. This was something this city had been dealing with for a long time.

"Geez. Was it because they messed with you?" Raynare asked. She remembered Issei saying when they first arrived in the world that if someone messed with him, he would show no mercy. So, seeing Issei nod at her question, all she could do was sigh. "Well, that's their problem. They brought their downfall on themselves".

"By the way, Raynare. I need you to test something for me," Issei said. He then gave a baseball bat to Raynare. This was the Nine Five Legendary Brick that he changed. "I want you to tap my head with this bat".

"Huh? Why would I do that?' Raynare said. She was confused. The bat looked ordinary. What would a light tap do to Issei? "You're weird…Oh my God! Could it be you're into that kind of stuff?!".

"I'm not a masochist!" Issei said. He already knew what Raynare was thinking. "I just wanted to test out the effectiveness of the bat. According to the information I have, a light tap from the bat should knock me out for a minute".

Raynare nodded at Issei and lightly bonked him with the bat. Immediately, Issei lost consciousness, but within a few seconds, he awoke before falling to the ground.

The Nine Five Legendary Brick was an insane item. It was able to knock someone like him for a few seconds. It would really knock them out for one minute if it was someone else.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Raynare said. She saw it. It made Issei lose consciousness with a light tap on the head for a moment. "I've seen how strong you are. Yet, but this bat was able to knock you out for a moment!".

"This is really a treasure worthy of giving to my parents," Issei said. With the Nine Five Legendary Bat, they can easily knock out their opponent. Of course, Issei would also let them cultivate the Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual, but they would probably only try the initial stage since they don't like fighting. "Getting this was worth it".

"I wonder. If I had this, would I have been able to knock out the Biblical God with a single bonk in the head?" Raynare asked. Sure, she knows that Issei was strong, but not to what extent. However, she has an inkling as Issei was able to pressure Sirzechs Lucifer. "He-he-he! If someone as strong as Issei was knocked out for a moment, then it would be possible. Too bad that he's already dead. It would have been fun to prank the old man. Imagine bonking him in the head, stripping him and tossing him in front of a crowded church for all to see! Ha-ha-ha!".

Issei raised an eyebrow as he watched Raynare make fun of the dead god. He sighed and let her be. Suddenly, Issei felt two people breakthrough. Only two people can cause such a surge of Divine Zhenqi. Ning'er and Yang Xin both broke through to Silver Rank. Good. With that, they would be able to learn Heaven's Path Golden Body and some of the Heaven's Path Arts.
