Chapter 102: Power Boons As Present (3), Visiting the Rest
Aleron went to the Beastfolk village and saw Ruan teaching a few Beastfolk kids and several adults about the cultivation in the village square.
[Ruan Gioh, the Deadly Illusion]
Ruan looked like she was in her late teens with cute hair buns and a lively personality, but her power was quite the opposite of that as she had expertise in deadly illusion due to her cultivation method and techniques.
"Master!" Ruan excitedly stood up to see Aleron after a long time and rushed towards him.
"Hi, Ruan," Aleron smiled and nodded. "Good work there. And I see you also broke through to Exceed-rank."
"Yes," Ruan said with a big grin. "Master, I want to spend some time with you and adventure. Of course, I can wait if you are busy, but I want to help you too because I broke through." "Yep," Aleron chuckled and patted her head, "Don't worry, the time will come soon, and I will spend more time here for a while as we will go to a secret place later."
The beastfolks also arrived and bowed towards Aleron, "Lord Ale."
"Lord Ale, please don't hesitate to tell us if there's any work. You are our savior and we won't just accumulate this grace from you without return," a middle-aged man beastfolk said with determination. "My daughter is well and alive thanks to you, and no longer in despair. Even if I have to die, I will lay down my life for you."
"Haha, worry not. Just focus on getting stronger and enjoy here. I will tell you if I need you all."
Aleron and Ruan walked towards another part of the village where Lee Yin Sun was having combat practice with some Beastfolks, teaching them martial arts and cultivation techniques. [Lee Yin Sun, the Destructive Solar Staff]
"Master Ale," Lee cupped his fist and bowed. The beastfolks also followed.
"At ease," Aleron nodded at him and the beastfolks with a smile. "I am just looking around and checking up on everyone. It seems that things are progressing just fine."
Lee smiled and said, "To do our best for you is our sole purpose, Master Ale. We had a breakthrough thanks to abundant resources and magic stones. You only need to call us for action next, haha."
"I will do that soon," Aleron grinned.
Suddenly, Aleron saw a sparkling green cloud bursting high above before a shout echoed and neared them as a figure shot trailed down from it.
"Master Ale, I've succeeded!"
Aleron looked at the middle-aged man with a black beard and wearing an alchemist robe as he landed nearby.
[Yorin Kexua, the Nature's Alchemist.]
"Master Ale, I've succeeded in crafting the Exceed-rank pills after breaking through to Exceed-rank," Yorin said with a big smile. "Now we can increase our stats. Brother Darzax told me to focus on the stat-increasing pills, so I've been working on it.'
"Lord Ale, thank you for looking out for us, haha. You are telling us to relax, but please don't hesitate to increase workload if you are in need of large amounts of magic stones."
Aleron smiled and shook his head, "We are getting steady amounts, so don't fret about it. Just work and enjoy as usual."

Aleron spent several minutes with Ruan, Lee, Yorin, Ying, Liang, and Jiang as he talked about recent happenings and also told them about the scuffle with the Goddess and Cosmic
Ascension Competition.
The six of them were even more fired up as they knew that their strength would be needed sooner or later after hearing that and their Master was telling them that so they could work
hard and get stronger.
"The seven of us will be going to a secret place later," Aleron said with a grin, "Once we finish exploring it, I will give you all a Bloodline and a Job Class."
"For now, I want a sparring partner, so who is up for it?"
"Me!" Ying said with an eager grin and fiery eyes, "Master, I just broke through so I want to consolidate my strength too."
"In that case, I would also like to join," Liang said with a smile as she took out her large guqin
as it floated before her.
"I had just finished my consolidation, but I could join as well if you do not mind, my lord,"
old man Jiang said as he cupped his fist.
Ruan looked at Aleron with puppy eyes, "Master~"
Lee coughed and wryly smiled, "Me too..."
"Hehe, I am not like that, Master. I shall work hard to create pills, so I shall take my leave,"
Yorin said with a cheeky smile.
"Hahaha," Aleron laughed and said as he nodded, "Alright. Yorin, you can do your stuff and
concoct the pills."
"As for you five, come at me. I will take you all on," Aleron grinned.
