Noah Orion's POV: -
"Gates are fragments of the destroyed world where the balance of the prey and the predators are ruined.
It gives the world which is heading towards a disaster a chance to make the preys and the predators stronger so that the balance can remain."
"This theory is said by Stakhovsky but many don't believe it as these gates have remained for thousands of years.", Lyra said as she started to teach me more about the gate.
We have practiced for quite a month and a joint expedition with the Emberhearts and Starcrest family was coming up in about three months.
'I still need to get stronger.', I thought.
We have distributed the petals of the rose gem flower to everyone who had a mid-tier affinity with ice and I have eaten the root of these gems and increased my low-tier affinity to mid-tier affinity.
I have taught Lyra a technique known as [Thousands cut in one].
It was one of Hao clan's secret technique and they taught me all of theirs as a deal to protect them.
She substituted Qi threads with mana threads.
She looked Quite happy with the technique.
I have also bought a lot of Elixirs and gathered about 75 years' worth of Qi and was able to do [Heavenly Demonic 3rd blade: Disc of death].
"Now it was time to go on a practice dungeon", I said to Thaldrin.
He then got to thinking and checked all of our skills.
My fundamentals have gotten better and stronger, which made my skills also very strong.
"Hmm, alright. You guys are strong enough.", Thaldrin said.
"But you will not be entering a dungeon but a battlefield.", Thaldrin said.
"Ok.", We all replied.
"Now go and prepare we will go to distress site and help them out.", Thaldrin said.
I decided to go and buy some necessities for tomorrow.
"Ron, do you know a store where we can buy essentials for a dungeon or a battle field expedition?", I asked him.
"Hmm, yes young master, I know one", he said.
"Let's go then.", I said and we started to go to the store.
"We are here, master.", Ron said.
This time I was not a dilapidated building but it looked like a convenience store.
As I entered I was greeted by an old man the same age as Ron.
"Do you want something here?", he asked me in a pissed off voice.
"Yeah, I need a dimensional ring and something which will help me save a lot of people.", I said and he looked at me with a weird look.
"How are you, Marik?", Ron said as he entered the store.
"Ron Opethel. How are you, old comrade?", the store owner said.
"Good, good just wanted to help our young master.", Ron said.
"This thin boy, uff ok, I will prepare a dimensional storage you can take a look around.", he said as he went to the backdoor.
"You know him?", I asked Ron.
"Yeah, we fought on the frontline together, he was a good soldier.", Ron said.
"I think we should take a look around.", Ron said.
He reminded me a lot about Librarian Wu.
"Let's see if he has anything interesting", as I took out a paper with an appraisal magic engraved on it.
There were rings, earrings and many other things.
As I was passing by I smelt something. Something fresh and refreshing.
It was a box as I opened it I was shocked.
It was a 1000-year-old ginseng.
'Jackpot.', I thought in my head and decided to take a look at other things.
"I have bought out the dimensional ring here what else do you want to buy.",
The store owner came out of the backdoor and said.
"Alright. Total will be 100,000 dollars.", he said as I then handed him the card and we went out of the store.
'This is good.', I thought.
I bought.
Chest Guard of the Emberheart soldier:- This was a chest guard which was used by Emberheart general.
Hardening: - It can harden and protect the wearer from heavy attacks when mana is input in the guard.
Reflect: - It has a 10% chance of reflecting the attacks.
Monocle of Distance: - It can help the used aim at a higher distance.Magical Pistol: - It can amplify the power of a spell by 50%.
"These will be helpful", I said as I put them in the dimensional storage necklace.
"I don't have a good feeling about the distress calls.", I said.
"Let's go home, Ron",
I said as he started to drive home.
….
I was now in the room with the ginseng in the box.
"Let's eat it.", I said as I hold it in my hands and ate it.
"This still taste very earthy", I said.
As I was chewing it, I felt the energy escape my mouth, I immediately used [World Qi gathering technique] and started to gather Qi in my lower meridians and spread it out.
I could feel my body empowering and getting stronger.
'Now I can establish a Wei gong', I thought.
I then stood up and started to use [Heavenly demonic Solaris body],my body started to become stronger than steel and I felt my meridians increase in quality and not only that the quality of my mana started to become dense and stronger as well.
"WOOSH!"
"This was some good stuff", I said as I used Qi to check how much years of Qi, I have accumulated.
"Nice, I have accumulated 100 years' worth of Qi.", I said as I saw the Qi blade on my hand looked more refined and hardened and long.
"Alright, now I have to figure out how to gain aura", I said as I opened the book.
[The only way to gain aura is to gain it during battling someone.]
"I see, it should be easy, I guess", I said.
"I should cultivate more for now.", I said as I started to cultivate again.

Ragnar's POV
"Sir, there is a huge problem with our plan.", assassin 1 said.
"What?", I asked him with wide eyes.
"They have changed the place it's not a dungeon but a battlefield.", he said.
"Even better, it seems god id helping me hunt you down. Just wait you will surely die, Noah Orion", I said as I stabbed a photo of him.
"Are you ready mage?", I asked a robed man.
"Yes, sir don't worry the monsters are ready to go berserk.", the mage said.
"Alright then I am now sure we will be successful.", I said.
