In addition to looking for items useful for healing or strengthening souls, El would probably also look for some important items in the auction house that could help his in the clone-making process.
One of the most important items Sister Ichigo was told about was the portable Homunculus incubator, which allowed clones to be developed and moved easily as needed.
El's mind was full of ideas about other tools and equipment that might be useful for cloning experiments. That way, he can speed up the process and ensure that every aspect of clone creation runs smoothly and efficiently.
A short while later, El arrived at the trading area and made his way to the booth where Sister Ichigo was, to pick up the order she had been waiting for these past few days.
Sister Ichigo smiled slightly when she saw El approaching. "Adrian, Misaka said to welcome customers kindly."
El nodded and asked the main point, "Thank you, Sister Ichigo. So what about the cloning data?"
Sister Ichigo took out a tablet from under the table and handed it to El. "This is the cloning data you wanted, Misaka said while handing over the data."
El accepted the tablet and examined the information for a moment. "This is more detailed than I imagined..."
Sister Ichigo nodded slowly. "If there's anything to ask, please don't hesitate to contact Misaka as soon as possible, Misaka said she'd be happy to offer her assistance."
El looked at Sister Ichigo with a faint smile. "Yes, thank you. So the price is 5,000 Points, right?" he said, raising his left eyebrow slightly. "Oh, right, I also want to buy one more Dimensional Device."
"Yes, so the total is 6,000 Points. Nice doing business with you, Misaka said," Sister Ichigo replied as another Dimensional Device from inside the tool storage room.
After finishing paying, El received the items. "Alright, I'll be going then. Thank you for your help, Sister Ichigo."
"Wait a moment, Misaka said preventing Adrian from leaving." Immediately, Sister Ichigo opened the hologram screen of her Dimensional Device.
Nimbly, Sister Ichigo controlled the screen and sent a group conversation invitation to El's Dimensional Device.
Kring!
El, who had just turned around, felt a vibration on her wrist and saw a hologram screen appear with an unexpected group invitation. "Hmm? Conversation group? You made one like that too?" he muttered, slightly surprised.
[Beyonder with serial number 190,800 has invited you to the Railgun group]
[Would you like to enter?]
[Yes/No]
Sister Ichigo smiled slightly. "Misaka thought it might be useful for you to stay connected. If you need any information, or order any other items, Misaka suggested."
El looked at the invitation for a moment before smiling slightly. "Ah, thank you again, Sister Ichigo. This is indeed useful."
Kring!
[Beyonder with Serial number 120,000 has joined the Railgun group!]
By accepting the invitation, El now had access to the Group Chat with Sister Ichigo. He noticed that the Group Chat had five members, including himself.

The nicknames of the other members looked familiar to El. But all of them were offline, with their names displayed in gray.
"Looks like the Group Chat members are offline," El muttered while closing the screen. "I'll say hello to them later." he left Sister Ichigo's booth and made his way to the auction house.
Once there, El sat down in one of the empty seats and began browsing through the list of items or skills available, focusing on anything that might strengthen or even heal her soul.
According to El, items or skills that specialized in souls might be closely related to Cultivators, so he paid close attention to every description related to Cultivators.
If he found what he was looking for, El intended to continue searching for other important items, such as clone-making equipment, specifically a portable Homunculus incubator that could speed up the cloning process.
Soon after, El found several skills that had healing and soul-strengthening effects, such as Nihility Devouring Flame, Life Spirit Flame, and Fallen Heart Flame.
However, after seeing the initial price, El muttered, "The competition is so expensive..." Realizing that these skills might be out of reach, El switched his search to more budget-friendly items.
After about ten minutes of searching, he finally found an item that was quite affordable but still had the effect of restoring and preserving the soul, so as not to fall into the abyss of destruction. And most importantly, the chances of winning this item were quite open.

Description:
Inside this pearl is a Ghost spirit. By swallowing this pearl, a contract will never betray its master to forever form. They will do whatever is asked and never complain. But, they cannot warm the bed and bear children for their master.

Without hesitation, El immediately put in a bid three times higher than the current top bidder, ensuring himself a great chance of getting the item.
With ease, El managed to win the Ghost Pearl in the auction for 50,000 Points. He smiled slightly, satisfied with his success.
"Damn, I'm unlucky!" complained a man next to El. "What rich fool would put up such a price!"
"It's a pity, I failed to get the Ghost Pearl," lamented a beautiful black-haired woman sitting in front of El. "This item can give the user a skill similar to a familiar, without being tied to a profession."
El remained silent, not wanting to stir up any unnecessary commotion. From the scent of blood clinging to their bodies, he estimated that their strength was much stronger than hers and decided to stay neutral.
"I've been browsing the auction catalogs for an hour, but I haven't found a portable incubator yet," El muttered with a heavy sigh. "Maybe no one is auctioning off that kind of stuff yet."
El considered going home, "I'd better take care of the Ghost Pearl first," he thought. However, as he was about to move, his fingers accidentally touched a button on the Accessories category.

"Huh? This accessory... It's perfect. This way, I can use it to learn Chakra, even if I don't have a related Profession," said El with sparkling eyes, finding the description of the item that really caught his attention.
Determined, El immediately set a high price to ensure he won the accessory, no matter how many competitors would appear.
In just a matter of seconds, El managed to win the accessory, utilizing his wealth equivalent to a level 3 Beyonder Authority. The accessory was now his for 10,000 Points.
Although he was satisfied with the items and accessories he got, he was a little disappointed that couldn't find the portable incubator he wanted.
El left the auction house, walking back to the Reincarnation Room, where he lived.
On the way, El muttered in a low voice, his face looking cold, but unable to hide his deep sadness. "Sorry, Ilya... it looks like your awakening will have to be delayed a little longer."
