Hauran and Rose left the bathroom after showering.
"We should step out first to see the kids. We were out for a while after all." Hauran said.
"The process took a long time. So that is why Raia said that we should consume when we have a long free time." Rose spoke with an awkward smile on her face.
"I still couldn't believe what happened." She continued.
Hauran walked closer to her and said. "Yeah, me too but it really happened. We should just be thankful that Raia gave it to us."
"I am starting to see some hope, Hauran." Rose buried her head onto the chest of his husband.
Hauran gave her a pat on the head. "I know. Come on, let's see the kids."
They left the room together to meet their children.
…
In the center of the lair of the rabbits, Raia's body was enveloped in a faint light.
After almost thirty hours, he was finally done absorbing and refining all the energies from the two hundred high-rank 3 spirit crystals.
Some more minutes passed and the light finally dimmed then disappeared. After which, Raia opened his eyes, exhaled then stood up.
"That amount of energy and I just reached high 1st level Martial Spirit State."
He checked his spirit and it was strengthened by about two percent.
"If I only cultivated normally, I would not even reach the high state of my spirit even if I get to 9th level Martial Spirit State. The green spirit stone is my only choice if I want to attain perfection state spirit."
He stretched his limbs and looked at his room outside.
"It was already morning. I wonder if father and mother is out." With that in mind, he exited the world inside.
…
Raia took a shower first before heading out.
When he arrived at the living room, his parents were already there talking to his siblings.
"Raia, you're up." Hauran said when he noticed Raia walking to them.
"I can say the same to you, father." Raia wore a smile on his face as he sat down.
Hauran coughed and said. "Thank you, Raia."
Raia raised his brows but still said. "I am just doing what I can to help."
Hauran and Rose looked at each other. Rose then spoke. "Raia, can we talk to you for a bit?"
"..Sure"
The three left and went to the smithy.
"Son, we both couldn't thank you enough for the fruit that you have given to us." Hauran said sincerely.
Raia asked them. "How did it do? It's good , right?"
Hauran chuckled then his expression became serious. "Raia, what it did to us was greater than you can ever imagine."
Heaing this, Raia's eyes widened. "How so?"
Rose shook her head. "We'll talk about that next that next time. You should just have to know that this fruit is a great help to me and your father. We decided to not ask you about this but I still couldn't help myself after all." Rose sighed. "Raia, where did you get this fruit?"
Raia was still thinking about what just his father said. 'Greater than can I ever imagine?'
"I just get it somewhere good." He answered with a smile.
Rose sighed once more. "It's fine, you don't need to tell us. There are things that you can't tell us now. On the other side, there are also things we can't tell you right now. Just remember to always take care of yourself."
"Yes, I will. You, too."
"Raia, really, thank you." Rose hugged him.
"Mm. Right, please don't tell anyone about this fruit." Raia added.
This time, the two only nodded. "Sure. We'll keep this to ourselves."
"Thank you. If you need more of that blue tear fruit, just ask me. I have more of it. Rhea and the two little ones can have them too." He continued.
'This kid is rich!' Hauran shouted in his mind.
'He has more…' Rose was imagining how many more Raia have.
Hauran and Rose quickly agreed about the suggestion of Raia about giving the fruits to Rhea, Rome and Rina.
"I'll give it to them later. We should also help them while they refine it." Hauran said to Rose and Raia.
The two nodded as they understood Hauran's intention.
They talked for a few more minutes before going back inside.
After breakfast, his father opened the shop. He and Rose decided to cultivate at night. The shop was doing pretty good because of the amber swords and daggers. People actually liked the quality of the two weapons.
Raia also left and went to the forest to hunt beasts for the third time.
As usual, he hunted beasts until afternoon. After a few hours of hunting and he went back to Forzen and sold his loot to Uncle Gran.
In his home, Raia wanted to gave his mother half of the credits he earned that day however, Rose refused it. She looked at Raia and said. "Take a break from hunting beasts tomorrow. Get your siblings and go buy some clothes or anything you want."
Raia wanted to disagree.
However, before the words left his mouth, Rose already spoke.
"Do it." Rose gave a serious face.
Seeing this, Raia coughed and answered. "I will."
"Good." Rose nodded. "Right, how are your preparations for the final exam? You are not just hunting beasts and setting aside your finals, right?"
Raia shook his head. "I am studying at night. Don't worry, mother, I am confident about the finals."
What he said gave Rose a smile. "Alright. Oh, one more thing. We will help Rome and Rina when they take the blue tear fruit. You go help Rhea. Can you do that?"
"Yes, sure. When will we do it?" Raia asked.
"Tonight, after dinner." Rose answered.
"I understand." Raia left and returned to his room.
…
Back to his room, Raia took a shower then lied on his bed. He took out his phone and opened the messages and recorded calls of Aaron, Caroline and Veronica, his three little students.
"I should answer their questions now."
Raia didn't get the time to reply to them.
He opened the messages of Aaron first. After reading them, Raia gave a reply to his friend. He answered Aaron's questions that he did know the answer to.
It took him half an hour before he was done answering.
"That is one down." Next, he opened Caroline's messages.
He replied as best as he could and moved onto Veronica.
After almost two hours, he was finished on answering their questions.
Raia threw his phone to the bed. "I should go down and help father."
He left his room and assisted his father in the smithy. The two worked until dinner.
After a wholesome meal courtesy by Rose and Rhea, the family separated. Hauran and Rose took Rome and Rina to their rooms while Raia was with Rhea.
In his room, Raia made Rhea sat on the floor. He then showed Rhea the blue tear fruit.
"You will take this blue tear fruit and I will help you refine it." He said as he handed a piece of teardrop shaped fruit to Rhea.
"Why are you going to help me?" Rhea asked with confusion.
Raia knelt and placed his hands on the back of Rhea.
He then spoke. "Because it will be painful if you take it on your own."
Assisting Rhea was really simple. Raia just needed to would just need to control the energy that flows to Rhea and make sure that she would not absorb all the energies at once. A sudden surge of this energy might be so painful and Rhea might not be able to endure it. That is why Hauran and Rose were the ones helping Rome and Rina. His parents were more experienced than Raia after all.
However, Raia was not worried that he will screw up. He was also a Martial Spirit State like his parents and more over, he also has a deep understanding and connection to the spirit energy.
Although the spirit energy in the outside world is way worse than the world inside, Raia could still feel his connection to it.
"Really? How painful is it? Rhea asked with a raised brow.
"So painful you would likely faint and shit yourself." Raia answered casually.
Rhea gulped and went silent. 'That painful?'
"If you are ready, just take the blue tear fruit. I will assist you in absorbing it." Raia tapped Rhea's shoulder. "Trust me, I'll take care of you."
"I know. Thank you." Rhea said.
"Thank me after this is done." After Raia said that, Rhea consumed the blue tear fruit.
As the energy surges out, Raia controlled it and only transferred to Rhea the amount her body was able to handle before suffering pain.
The process began. Her foundation was being repaired and transformed.
Unlike Raia, she was not suffering from unbearable pain.
'What a fortunate lady.' Raia thought. He was happy that his siblings didn't need to experience the pain he had experienced.
Raia assisted Rhea until she was done absorbing the blue tear fruit.
…
The morning came.
It would initially take it a short time to refine the blue tear fruit but it was extended due to the fact that the energy was flowed at a controlled rate.
The second Rhea stabilized her foundation, Raia took his hands away.
"Nice work, Rhea." Raia gave her a thumbs up with a nod.
Rhea smiled. "Thanks, Raia. I feel my foundation is much stronger now. I also reached the 5th level Martial Foundation State. What is this fruit, anyways? I can also feel that my body improved."
Raia smiled. "Just something that can improve your foundation and body. That is all you need to know. Take this fruit as secret. Don't tell it to anybody."
Rhea was confused and had questions on her mind. However, she held those back.
"Alright. I understand. I'll keep this a secret. Thanks again." Rhea smiled.
At this moment, Raia pinched his nose and spoke in a weird voice. "Go take a bath, you stink."
He then stood up and ran away. Rhea also smelled her body and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower.
…
At breakfast, Rome and Rina told Raia what happened to them excitedly. The two both reached the 2nd level Martial Foundation State.
Raia listened to their story with a smile.
After a few minutes, he said to his three siblings. "We will go out today and go shopping."
When the three heard this, their eyes lit up. Rome and Rina even stood up and screamed.
"I'll send you some credits." Rose said to Raia.
Raia just shook his head. "It's alright mother. I still have some credits on me. It will be more than enough for us."
"Okay, your call." Rose just smiled at him.
"Take care of them." Hauran said.
"I will." Raia answered.
At this time, a figure jumped onto Raia. "Elder brother!" Rina shouted and her voice was filled with excitement.
"What are we going to buy today, brother?" Rome asked Raia.
Rhea and Rina looked at Raia with anticipation.
The eldest child smiled and spoke after a cough. "Clothes, toys, I don't know. What do you want to buy?"
Romes pondered and asked. "Can I have my own phone?"
"Yes, sure. I'll get Rhea and you a good phone." Raia answered quickly.
"Really?!" Rhea shot to her seat and asked Raia. The one she was using was an old one after all. Getting a new one would be great.
Raia just nodded. "What about you, Rina? What do you want to buy?"
Rina stared at Raia for a few seconds. "Can I request anything?"
"Yes, anything." Raia replied. 'She wouldn't request very expensive stuff, right? She is a kid after all."
"Anything?" Rina asked one more.
"Anything." Confirmed Raia.
"Then I'll just tell you later!" Rina returned to her seat and resumed eating.
Raia began wondering what she wanted.
After having their morning meal, the four siblings prepared to head out.
