The couple spend a week in the town, mostly to stay at a suitable place with very little danger before heading towards one of the larger cities.
They keep on taking missions, trying to raise their ranks. It also help temper the two, allowing them to survive future hardship. Their constant mission taking allow the two to raise their ranks with Ina going from a blank 1-star, to a 1-diamond 1-star adventurer.
As for Ryker, he was able to become 2-diamond 1-star adventurer, which is the highest in the small town. Of course, aside from their adventure ranks, their cultivation realms also increase at a fast rate.
In their time in the town, Ryker manage to reach the 5th Stage Genesis Formation, most of the reason for his quick raise in his cultivation because of the Genesis Crystals he mined beforehand.
Similarly, Ina benefit greatly from his excavation, managing to reach the peak of Genesis Gathering, to the shock of the receptionist.
The two are also not the only one to benefit, as Sutal manage to become a peak Tier 1 Genesis Beast, slowly closing in to become a Tier 2, similar to Ina.
"So, when are we leaving?" Ina asked Ryker as they have a simple lunch.
"Tomorrow. I am getting too strong for the town, not to mention you are no slouch either way. I just need to find the herb books, and then I can start to concoct a better Qi Gathering Pill for you," he said.
"At this rate, it is probably better if you research for the Qi Forming Pill inside the library," Ina pointed out. Ryker thought about before agreeing with her assessment. After all, it will not take long before Ina become a Genesis Formation cultivator.
The Energy Core they got from before would be sufficient for her breakthrough. The only thing left to do is to chose either to breakthrough when they are far from the town, or when they are still close.
"I should probably search for any pills that can help make you better in cultivating," he said, which cause Ina to turn her head so fast, she would have broke her neck if not hold by Ryker.
"There are such pills?!" she asked in a loud whisper, to which Ryker nodded.
"But they are not some miracle pills. They just help increase both potential and talents, well, not talents per say, but improve your cultivating ability.
But I'm not sure where the pill recipe is, so it will take sometime before I can make one. Not to mention I still need to learn alchemy skills before I can make a pill," he pointed out.
While he did not have any experience in alchemy, he is confident he can concoct a Genesis Grade Pill. After all, most if not all profession require high-Soul Level. His Soul Level is abnormal high from the ritual, which will help him in his study in different professions.
However, before he could hope to make a pill, he still need some introduction in Alchemt Art. After all, while most Alchemy Art possess the similar basic, most schools differ from the other schools in Alchemy, as different people have different experience and comprehension in Alchemy.
He plan on looking for an Alchemy Art inside the tablets containing the most precious Cultivation Arts given to him by his parents. Which would mean he need to read through the description again in each tablet.
In his defense, he only focused on Celestial Energy Art. He did not even go to the Body Refining Art and Soul Enhancing Art in the Celestial Energy Art's tablets, the silver-eyed man too busy in improving his cultivation before he could think of checking the different Cultivation Art and the other branches of Cultivation.
The only other Cultivation Art he had read aside from some skimming is the Profound Wind Scripture, which is where he read and learned the Phantom Breeze Stride. It is the only Cultivation Technique in his arsenal at the moment, Ryker more focused on raising his cultivation realm to allow him to use the Cultivation Technique more effectively.
However, he should change his plans in learning both Cultivation Art and Cultivation Technique sooner it seem, as some of the Art and Technique would likely help him in the future.
"So, when are we going to head out again?" deciding to change the topic to their previous one, Ina asked Ryker again, trying to get him out of his mumbling.
"Tomorrow morning. We should make some preparations. Like buying some supplies to make it look like we expecting to take a long time to travel to the other cities," he pointed out. After all, even heading towards the closest cities would take around 4 to 5 days, so buying supplies is not an oddity. Not to mention, he can also stock inside the Hidden Ancient Mansion.
"So, lets prepare then. I hope there still some meat left," Ina exclaimed before pulling Ryker towards the market. The larger male merely let out a fond smile as she was pulled by the brunette, the two began to buy enough food to feed an entire family for a month.

"I am going to miss this town," Ina said as she rode on top of Sutal, Ryker behind her. Thankfully, Sutal is a Genesis Beast, so the current load is not much of trouble for him. Even with the large amount of supplies.
With nothing else to worry about, the two had passed the gate, exiting the town as they headed into the wilderness. Though, they did stiffen slightly at the questioning of some of the guards regarding if they even saw the guard and his older brother they killed.
Thankfully, their shock were hidden well, before they deny ever seeing them. Seeing this, the guard did not make it hard for them and let them leave without any other questioning.
From the look of it, the brothers were not like by the guards, with how nonchalant they are. The only reason they search for them is likely because they are supported by a powerful expert or from a particularly powerful family.
However, the two did not care as they focused more on something else. Namely, training and cultivating. After all, why bother with two dead men.
