Consuming Meridian Advancing Pills
Ryker shook his head. He could not care less regarding the specific. What is most important is the fact all his lovers would be able to have a peak-level Meridian Advancing Pill for each of them.
In fact, he could refine more though he needed to grab more materials from the garden. But, from the book he read, the effect of the pills will decrease after each consumption, so it was not necessarily a good thing for them to eat more Meridian Advancing Pills.
After storing the pills inside differing pill vials to ensure the efficiency would remain the same, he got out of the alchemy room, intending to seek them, though he was not sure of the time from how long he spent inside the Alchemy Room.

"Big Brother! It was almost dinner. You did not come here for lunch!" Ilina scolded him, causing him to laugh sheepishly.
The others looked at them with a smile, the mighty Ryker brought down by a pre-teen. If that was not enough, Ilina also had Ariana in her arms, both girls glaring at him, though for the smaller girl, it was more of a pout.
"Big brother, bad," Ryker could feel an imaginary arrow pierce his heart when she said that. It took all his willpower to not succumb to the emotional pain but he was able to hold it for now.
He kneeled, allowing him to be at the same eye level as Ilina, "I am sorry but big brother is a bit busy at that time," he told the older girl before he squished the little cheek.
"Can you forgive your big brother?" he pleaded, though one could tell it was more of a playful one. Still, it was enough to make the little one nod before she raised her arm, asking to be carried by the older man.
He complied with the request, hugging the smaller girl as she buried her head on his shoulder. The rest smiled at the little show of affection before they resumed what they were about to do, namely having dinner.

"So, why do you call us?" Ina asked, looking at her lover in confusion. He had asked for them to gather in the hallway before transporting them outside, the exception being Rina and Brea.
She did not know what he was planning but it is likely why the previous night's session was less intense so they would be able to recover quickly even though it was still tiring but enjoyable for them.
Ryker took out several pill vials before throwing them at them. They caught it and almost dropped it from the intense energy it emitted.
"What are the pills you just gave us?" Mashia asked. Being the oldest and originating from the Core Region of the Monster Realm allows her to experience more things that the others come across higher grade pills and resources more often than the others did.
So, it was safe to assume she would want to know if she recognized the pill in question- "Meridian Advancing Pill,"
"I have no knowledge or even clue of what kind of pill it is," or not, Ina reprimanded herself, knowing that even someone like Mashia would not likely come across all pills in existence.
"So, what those it do?" Hylla asked, tilting her head cutely.
"You have to use it to believe it. Let's just say it would be a great surprise for all of you, good variety," he told them, causing them to nod.
They all took out the pills. It did not take long for both Hylla and Mashia to recognize the level of the pills and almost drop them to the ground.
"D-don't tell me that this is?!" Mashia's teeth shook, and the shock of the level of the pill seemed to be greater than what he had ever experienced.
"I-I think so," Hylla replied, still unbelieving of the existence of the spherical object that could cause a lot of people to fight to even see the object.
"What is it?" Era asked.
"The pill, it is at the peak level, the best pill for any Grade and almost impossible to find except an exceptionally talented alchemist," Mashia explained, causing their eyes to widen.
Era took hers before giving it to Hylla, who was closer to her than Mashia, "Is mine also a peak level one?" she asked.
"Yes, it is," Hylla replied, the shock of it all can be heard from the tone in her voice. One by one the lovers showed the pills they got, all but confirming that all of it is peak level pills.
"How did you?-" "Let us not think about it," Ina interjects from how Hylla was going to question how Ryker was able to get such pills.
After all, she was not averse to the fact her lover was capable of accomplishing some impressive feats, and from the looks of it, creating peak-level pills seemed to be one of them.
"Let us eat the pill and see what it would do," Ina suggested, the others nodding at her. They all consume the pills at once. As they ate the pills, all of them could feel their bodies seemed to undergo some changes.
Ryker, who was present the entire time quickly told them what to do, "Cultivate and refine the pill. As you refine it, absorb the energy it emitted and direct it to your Meridian and try to withstand the pain. If you do this, you will see some changes on all of you," he told them.
Taking his words seriously, they began to cultivate. As they refined the pills, they could feel some energy heading towards their meridians. If it was not for his reminder, they would have blocked it, as any damage to their meridian would affect them greatly.
As they allow the energy to head towards their meridian, they could feel some changes occurring. They gritted their teeth as they allowed the changes to happen, feeling something tearing through their meridian.
If it was not for the person being Ryker, they would have questioned if he was trying to kill them all. As they allowed the energy to affect their meridian, they began to discover some changes, namely their meridian feeling, like it was improved, or so they felt as they were not sure how to describe it.
As they finished refining the pill, they all opened their eyes and looked at one another, "Does anyone could tell what did the pills do?" Ina asked.
Mashia did not say a word as she cultivated, absorbing the energy around her. After a short cultivation session, she told them, "It seems to improve our cultivation or more precisely, our talent in cultivation,"
