As Raia exhaled, a mist of spirit energy left his mouth.
"This is really a fortunate event. This place had all the things I needed. Beasts, a place where I can cultivate and most importantly, the glowing green spirit stones."
If Raia didn't find the armor rabbits, he might still be running around, trying to find the green stones. After thinking for some time, Raia decided his next plan.
"I will find more beast lairs. They should have some green spirit stones in their possession. Maybe I can discover new materials in their lairs."
The spiked-green tigers and armor rabbits both possess the green spirit stone. The cave where the tigers lived had some of the low-grade green spirit stones.
However, this was not the case for the lair of the armor rabbits underground. That made Raia thought of something.
"Where did these rabbits get these stones from? There must be a place where they acquire these stones. I also must find that place. This should not be the only armor rabbit lair around here. I should visit the other places."
The stones he refined from this place improved his spirit at a considerable amount. His spirit was strengthened by about five percent. This was very high compared to how much the stones from the tiger lair gave him.
"I need at least 4,000 of these stones before I strengthen my spirit to high state. The amount I needed to reach peak state would be much more enormous. I can't imagine how much I needed to achieve perfection state."
After staying for a few more minutes, he exited the world inside.
…
Raia appeared in his room. He head to the bathroom and took a shower.
"I'll hunt tomorrow then make some clothing for the world inside."
He said as he threw himself into his bed.
…
The next morning, while the other students were preparing for the final exam, Raia went out to hunt in the forest.
At the gate, Dan was shocked to see Raia's cultivation state. He and Raia talked for some time before separating.
'That must be really a physique talent.' Dan thought to himself. 'Raia now have a promising and dangerous future.'
Meanwhile, Raia was already hunting in the forest. He didn't stay at the outer part but went straight to the deeper parts.
He hunted beasts until afternoon and found some place where he can eat.
Rose gave him lunch but he also had something to eat.
After making the fire, Raia took some of the meat of the beasts from the world inside. He cooked and tasted them to confirm what is edible and what is not.
The black tailed beast and jackal were tasteless but still can be eaten. The armor rabbit and gray-scaled python tasted good. Some of the weaker beasts were also of fine taste.
However, Raia was amazed by one meat.
It was from the spiral-horned antelope.
"This is amazing!" He couldn't hold himself back and screamed. The energy the meat has was nothing to him but the taste and texture of it made him very satisfied.
"I'll give this to mother with some of the other meats. This would be beneficial to them."
After a fulfilling meal, Raia hunted for two more hours before returning to Forzen.
He went to Uncle Gran to sell his loot.
Gran was surprised to see Raia and his state. 'This kid! That must be a talent. No doubt about it.'
They both talked to each other first. Afterwards, Gran took the loot of Raia and gave its price. At this time, he was already expecting this much loot from Raia.
He calculated the price and showed it to Raia. The young man didn't question it and easily accepted the deal.
After the receiving the credits, Raia bought some high-grade recovery pills then left the shop.
When he found his mother, she quickly asked him. "Why are you so early?"
"I have something to do." Raia answered and send his earnings that day to his mother. Rose thanked him for it.
He also handed her some meat of the meat from the world inside.
After which, he head to the smithy to see his father. Hauran was in the smithy, working.
"Here are the horns, father." Raia placed the horns of the goat at one corner of the smithy.
Hauran thanked him and continued working.
"Father, can you help me create another weapon?" Raia asked.
Hauran stopped hammering and stared at him. He wanted to say something but kept it to himself.
"Let's see what material it is." Hauran walked to Raia.
Raia took out the two largest fangs of the alpha green tiger.
When he saw the fangs, Hauran quickly examined it with excitement. He then turned to Raia.
"Son, be careful in what you are doing. Losing your life only takes a split second." Warned Hauran.
Raia just nodded. He understood what his father meant. "I will, father."
After a few more minutes, Hauran put the fang down.
"I can't handle this material. This is too much for me. Even if you help me, we would not be able to deal with these fangs. Forget the two, even one is impossible to turn into a weapon." Hauran knew his limit and capabilities so he quickly told Raia the truth. He was still at 2nd level Martial Spirit State after all and the fangs were from a peak-rank 3 beast.
Raia already expected the answer of his father and already planned what to do.
First, he called his mother to the smithy. Rose asked what is up after she arrived.
Raia didn't say anything. He just took two pouches out from his spatial ring.
"This one contains low to mid-rank 3 beast crystals." Raia handed Hauran the first pouch. "These ones were fruits. Just eat them and see its effects." He gave his father the blue tear fruits next. "Oh eat them later when you have a long free time."
"These are for us?" Rose asked.
"Of course, mother." Raia replied with a smile. "Ah right. These are low-rank beast crystals for Rina and Rome. I'll just give Rhea hers myself." He took out another pouch and handed it over to Rose.
The two were speechless for some moment.
"Raia, thank you for what you are doing." Hauran patted Raia's shoulder.
"It's nothing." Raia smiled at him.
Rose gave a genuine smile. "Thank you, Raia."
"Mm."
The three talked for some time before Raia returned to his room.
On the way, he saw Rhea and gave her some beast spirit crystals to use. Rhea thanked him.
In his room, Raia took out some of the loot from the world inside and began making his new set of clothes.
A few hours later and he finished making his pants that was made from the skin of the alpha green tiger.
He resumed working after dinner and continued until morning. He didn't enter the world inside.
…
In their room, Hauran and Rose were staring at the crystals and fruits that Raia gave them.
"Do you know what fruit is this?" Hauran asked Rose as he picked up a blue tear fruit.
Rose shook her head. "No. This is my first time seeing it. What about you?"
"I also don't have any idea what this fruit is." Hauran responded.
The two were hesitating for some time. They were not sure what this fruit was after all.
"What is there to be hesitant about? This should be good considering Raia gave it to us." Hauran said with a smile.
Rose nodded. "I know. Let's eat it."
They took one fruit each and swallowed it at the same time.
A few moments later, an indescribable pain covered the both of them.
Hauran gritted his teeth as he held back his scream. On the other hand, Rose was already curled up on the floor, crying.
…
The next morning, Raia prepared to head out to hunt again in the forest outside.
He wanted to say goodbye to his parents but they were not in the kitchen or living room.
"They are still in their room." Rhea said. She was preparing their breakfast.
Raia wondered why. 'Did something happen to them?'
"They haven't come out yet?" Raia asked.
Rhea nodded. "They must be still sleeping."
"I'll go get them." Raia headed to the room of their parents.
He arrived at the door and was ready to knock.
At this moment, he sensed the spirit energy inside the room. Two separated and concentrated energies were present inside.
'They must be cultivating.' Raia smiled and went back to the kitchen.
"They are cultivating so don't disturb them. Let them take their time." Raia explained to Rhea.
Rhea smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll tell Rome and Rina to not to disturb them."
"Mm. Get your card, I'll send you some credits to use here in the house." Rhea took her card and Raia sent 10,000 credits to her account. "Use this if you need something. Just close the shop for today. If mother and father come out, call me. I'll be back in the afternoon."
Rhea was still staring at her card and dazed by the fact that her account instantly had 10,000 credits in it when Raia waved his hands in front of her face.
Raia repeated what he said.
"Sure. I'll do it. Be careful out there." The young lady composed herself.
"Mm." Raia left the house.
…
Raia arrived at the forest and began hunting the beasts. He travelled around massacring all the beasts he encountered on the way.
In this part of the forest where he was, no beast can threaten him. The only ones who can pose danger to him were the ones residing in the deepest part of the forest.
He ate some antelope meat and resumed hunting until afternoon.
Afterwards, he returned home.
…
'They are still not out huh.'
His parents were still in their room cultivating. He decided not to disturb them and went to his room. Raia resumed making his clothes and gears for the world inside.
He was only done working after midnight.
"This should be good."
He made a hooded shirt, pants and a pair of boots. With these, he won't have to run around naked in the world inside.
After wearing his proud works, Raia entered the world inside.
He appeared back in the lair of the armor rabbits. Raia took the glowing green spirit stones and used them to light the place.
"I will cultivate first before heading out once again."
He pulled out two hundred high-rank 3 spirit crystals and placed them around him.
Raia then began absorbing their energies.
…
While Raia was inside his world cultivating, Hauran and Rose were still in their room.
A few hours later and the morning arrived at the outside world.
Hauran opened his eyes first. Staring at his body, a tear formed at the end of his eyes. He was shaking from the mixed emotions he was experiencing.
Shock, excitement, confusion, awe, gratitude, and happiness.
He was speechless while he kept on checking his body to see if he was just dreaming.
"This is real." He said with certainty. "These are the impurities in my body. I know it." Hauran said as he wiped the black drops of liquid on his body.
A few minutes later and Rose finally opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the empty air for a few seconds and only went back to herself when Hauran called her.
She embraced him and began crying.
"My foundation, body and spirit were fixed. Is this real, Hauran? Did it really happen?" she asked Hauran questions because she couldn't believe it.
Hauran nodded with assurance. "It really happened. Most of the minor damages on my three aspects were fixed. Is that the same case to you?"
Rose' eyes looked at Hauran. "Mm. The small damages were repaired."
"Our three aspects were still not completely fixed, but it is better than before. At least we can advance our cultivation at a faster rate this time." Hauran embraced her wife tightly.
"I know." Rose turned at the pouch of the blue spirit stones. "Where did Raia got these fruits? These were no ordinary fruits. With this effect, it could be priced at millions or even billions of credits per piece. Just what is happening with that kid?"
Huaran sighed. "Should we ask him again?"
Rose shook her head. "Remember that one time he said that he will tell us after everything is ready? Maybe he was not yet prepared to tell us. Let us just trust our son."
"Alright. Your call."
"There are still many fruits left, should we take another one?" Rose asked Hauran with anticipation.
However, Hauran shook his head and said. "Let's do that after we take a shower. We stink."
