After buying dozens of different herbs, Issei entered the Dimensional farm with Raynare. The Dimensional Farm felt different from before. The Divine Tree was producing Divine Energy within the Dimensional Farm. Raynare breathed the air, and she felt that it was extremely pure.
Issei didn't waste time. He started planting all the herbal ingredients that he bought. Thankfully, all of them still had their roots, which would mean planting them would be easier. A thousand catty is equivalent to six hundred kilograms, and each piece of Purple Haze Grass is no more than a gram.
Luckily for Issei, he had the Images of Ikonn. Issei made over a hundred duplicates and made them plant all the herbal ingredients. Once everything was planted, Issei and Raynare saw the rapid growth and spread of the herbal ingredients. The old ordinary grass was being replaced with Purple Haze Grass, Tiger Graze Grass, Black Pool Grass, Golden Striped Grass etc.
The other herbs were also being nourished by the Dimensional Farm. Herbs that needed more than a thousand years to be of any use are now available to be used just after a few hours of growth.
"Working hard for a few hours doesn't tire me out," Raynare said. She didn't have the best physique to begin with, but thanks to the Dragon Body she received from bathing in the blood of Fafnir, her physique was much better. "I think I can do this work all day without issue".
While Issei and Raynare were in the Dimensional Farm, Yang Xin was in the Alchemist Association. She was speaking with Gu Yan, the President of the association. Why? Because she plans to hand in her resignation of being the director. Gu Yan tried to stop her, but he could tell that Yang Xin's mind wouldn't be changed.
"Hah…I don't know why you're suddenly resigning, but I have no choice but to accept," Gu Yan said. He didn't want to let Yang Xin go, but he had no choice. Yang Xin has been uncomfortable in the association for a long time due to rumours about her. However, Gu Yan could tell that Yang Xin leaving had nothing to do with the rumours. "I wish you luck on your future plans".
"I'll be fine. I found quite a capable master," Yang Xin said. She was laughing. This was something that Gu Yan didn't see a lot. Yang Xin then took out the Purple Haze Grass uses and gave it to Gu Yan. "I want to give you this list. I've already tested a few of them".
Gu Yan took the list, and he was surprised. A useless herb that could be found everywhere had so many uses. Gu Yan was someone that believed in Yang Xin, but this was just too much! However, his trust in her is high enough to believe her words.
When Yang Xin finished doing her stuff, she headed to the place where Issei and Raynare were staying. Yang Xin wanted to learn as much as she could. Alchemy was something that she had loved since she was a little girl. To learn more about it from someone who showed knowledge surpassing President Gu Yan was truly a blessing. So, she was going to learn from Issei diligently.
When Yang Xin arrived in Issei and Raynare's room, they weren't there. So, she waited in one of the chairs in the room. While waiting, a transparent portal came out of nowhere. This made Yang Xin alert, but she dropped her guard when she saw who came out of it. Yang Xin wanted to ask about the portal, but she decided not to.
"Master!" Yang Xin said. She bowed to Issei to show her respect. "I've arrived and report to master that I have resigned from the Alchemist Association!".
"Alright, you don't have to bow. I'm not really one for formality," Issei said. It was awkward for Yang Xin to bow her head to him. "Are you ready to start learning today, or do you wish to do it tomorrow when you're refreshed?".
"If Master is willing, I wish to start today," Yang Xin said. Issei's eye twitched. Being called master wasn't his style. The only reason that Ddraig calls Issei master is that he knows Issei didn't like it. Which Ddraig must be punished for. "Yang Xin is ready to learn".
"First of all, don't call me master. I prefer to be called my name, Issei," Issei said. He then took out a pen and paper that he had never returned to Yang Xin earlier. "Next, I want to know how far your knowledge is on alchemy. I want you to list all the types of pills that you can make".
Yang Xin nodded her head, and she wrote down all the pills and medicinal baths that she could make. It was quite a lot. So, Yang Xin only listed the high-level pill and baths she knew. Once she was done, Yang Xin handed the paper to Issei.
Issei analysed the list and saw that. Yang Xin was a high-level alchemist, but only to the standard of Glory City. Issei then used Images of Ikonn and wrote over a dozen volumes about Alchemy.
From low-level to high-level. Issei wrote them all down. Why would he do this? Because Yang Xin has a lot of knowledge, there are many missing parts and gaps in her knowledge.
"I want you to read all these books," Issei said. If she could understand the contents of the books, Yang Xin would be able to remove her knowledge gap in alchemy. "Now, sit on the chair and start reading. If you need me to explain anything, don't hesitate to ask".
Yang Xin was about to bow her head at Issei, but a single look at Issei made her remember that Issei told her not to bow her head at him. Yang Xin fake coughed, sat on the chair and started reading.
At first, Yang Xin was hesitant to ask a question that she couldn't understand in the low-level alchemy book as she didn't want to look incompetent that she didn't even understand something from a low-level knowledge. But she listened to Issei and dropped her hesitation and asked her question.
"Master… I mean, Issei. I don't understand this part," Yang Xin said. She then pointed out what part she didn't understand. Issei explained it to her in the simplest way he could. All Yang Xin could do was say 'Oh!', 'Ah!' and other similar words. "Thank you, Issei. I understand them now".
When it got dark outside, Yang Xin headed back home and brought all the books Issei gave her. She couldn't wait to learn everything in the fifteen volumes of alchemy.
The following day, Issei and Raynare planned to head outside Glory City as they explored most of the city. The only exception was Sacred Border, Holy Orchid Institute, Alchemy Association, etc.
"Where are we going today?" Raynare asked. She was curious about the outside world of this universe. "I want to explore some ruins and whatnot".
"That's what we'll be doing today," Issei said. The other day, he saw a poster about someone recruiting for an expedition happening in the next few days. Will Issei be joining the expedition? Hell no! "I saw a recruitment poster about an exploration of a ruin called Ancient Orchid City Ruin. Want to explore that place?".
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Raynare said. She was excited to see a new place. Raynare then realised that they were indeed waiting for someone. "Right, we're waiting for Yang Xin. Hey, Issei, can you imagine a Student-Teacher relationship".
"What the hell?!" Issei said. He's only gotten to know Yang Xin for two days! And Raynare is already thinking of matching him with her. "Are you seriously trying to matchmake me with Yang Xin?".
"Yang Xin?" Raynare said. She was smirking. Raynare never mentioned Yang Xin. "I never mentioned Yang Xin, though. Why did she come to mind when I said Student-Teacher relationship?".
"Don't even try, Raynare," Issei said. He saw her smirking; this was her plan the whole time. "I saw the smirk on your face. I know what you're planning".
"Aww! But she seemed to be a great person," Raynare said. "Plus, she seemed interested in you. At least I think she is. So, why not, right? You are planning on bringing her back to our world, right?".
Why was Raynare determined to get Issei a harem? When she had sex with Issei, she could tell that she got tired quickly, while Issei pretended to be as satisfied as she was. And now that she had the Dragon Body, she knew that Issei could go for even longer.
One might say that since Raynare now has the same Dragon Body as Issei, she would be able to compete with Issei's stamina, but that's further from the truth.
True, the Dragon Body does give one immense stamina, but Issei has Avalon. It removes fatigue from his body. Combining that with his Dragon nature and Libido, you have a monster in bed.
Not long later, Yang Xin arrived in Issei and Raynare's room. She looked tired. Issei could tell that she had studied all night. He took out a green crystal from his inventory and handed it to Yang Xin. This was (Green Crystal – Legendary). It can replenish stamina and energy and heal the ones that consume it.
