"Oh. Can you evaluate the treasure now? We can order Chin-star temples ginseng power and Panther-fang schools incense with this." Rayhan said. Although these things were not treasures like paradise grass or the water from the fountain of youth or Senju beans, They had their own merits. They would supplement martial arts practice in the long run.
Chin-star school's ginseng powder would supplement body strengthening.
Panther-Fang school's incense would hone one's reflexes.
'These products and their formulas will be destroyed by King Piccolo in the next 15-20 years.' Rayhan thought.
After selecting the most beautiful pearls, she started to count and after an hour she evaluated them to be worth 100 million.
They flew to the Chin-Star school and the Panther-Fang school. Surprisingly, both grandmasters of their school had died because of old age. The new schoolmasters were much weaker than the previous masters. Rayhan and Annin struck a deal with those two schools and left 40 million in each school.
They visited the Eastern royal family and Annin arranged to buy 'Monkey wine' worth 20 million through an illegal channel. They stayed in the capital for a month. Annin took him everywhere and he met quite of few of his friends and relative. He also understood that relations were intricate in these families. After that, they visited the old master A-wut. He looked significantly older and he had gotten weaker. This made him think of his master. His master was already 110 years old and he would be living 30 years at most. He had decided to ask his master to retire and live peacefully in the valley.
After departing from the Orin Temple, they roamed the world for a while. They helped people on the way. This world had a lot of villages where there was always some problem. Some villages had a drought. Some villages were being used as a food source by certain predators. Most villages were used as a money source by bandits. In some villages, girls were used as sex slaves and men as labor. Some towns were ruled by underground forces. They solved these kinds of problems along the way.
After two months of pointless traveling around, they returned home. He tried to persuade his master to come to live in the valley but his master was not able to leave his legacy behind. However, he had promised that he would come after grooming his senior brother as the next Tiger Hermit. His senior brother was not close to him. So, he didn't bother training him or giving him resources. He also told his master about the paradise herb and water from the fountain of youth. Tiger hermit said that he would consume them after coming to live in the valley.
News had spread that Mutaito had opened up his school and had taken in many disciples.
6 months later, Fanfan had given birth to a baby boy. They named him Rayfan. After his son was born, Rayhan checked that his son was born with a battle power of 1. It was impressive for a human. It made Rayhan incredibly happy. He fed the baby phoenix's tear. He had already consumed 8 drops of it but there were no visible changes in him.
1 year later, News of the death of the Monkey Hermit spread around.

'Why are these top dogs dying one after another?' Rayhan thought to himself.
2 years later.
Rayfan looked like a 1-year-old despite being 3 years old already. He was intelligent and strong but his physical appearance was that of a 1-year-old. Rayhan had a conjecture about this. It was probably because both of his parents had longer lifespans that is why the child also inherited a longer lifespan naturally. Thus, his physical growth was somehow slow.
His battle power was already 5 without any training at the age of 3. That kid was always with his grandma since he was born.
Another year passed and Mutaito had publicly challenged Rayhan to a duel. It was said that Mutaito was the current strongest grandmaster. So, the whole world was excited to see the match. Rayhan's power level was already 415. Even King Piccolo might not be able to defeat him much less Mutaito. But Rayhan did not want to outright defeat Mutaito because he was someone who could become a valuable sparring partner for Rayhan. If Rayhan used the best training clothes that Annin had recently made for him, it would suppress his power level to 320. Mutaito could be a good training partner if he had already reached 290. But that was impossible.
However, Before the tournament started Rayhan's jaw dropped because Mutaito was able to reach 300 in his 40s. Rayhan finally realized that since Mutaito had viewed him as competition, He had a better motivation to train. That is why he had reached such a high level. Thousands of martial artists had come to view this fight. So, Rayhan had decided to make it a thrilling match and win with high difficulty. Since he had heavily suppressed himself with weighted clothes. This was an easy matter for him.
The match started and they fought for an hour before Rayhan was declared the victor. Mutaito had a strange feeling during the fight that Rayhan had been playing with him. On the other hand, Rayhan was impressed with Mutaito because although Mutaito's power level was at 300, He showed the combat power that neared 315.
After the match, Rayhan heard Mutaito say that he would surpass Rayhan. This was funny but also unexpected. Rayhan had expected Mutaito to be dejected and digress in martial arts over the next few years. But Mutaito was more motivated than ever. Rayhan also saw Roshi and Shen. They were just kids right now. That meant Piccolo should be coming into existence in the next 10-12 years.
King Piccolo would create a massacre and nearly wipe out the human population. His primary targets would be martial artists. Firstly, He didn't want people to die because a lunatic thought it was fun. Secondly, He wanted merit points for saving the world. Thirdly, He didn't want his supply of supplementary goods from various schools to come to a halt because some crazy-ass goblin decided to wipe out a race. He could easily kill King Piccolo as of now. Even if unexpectedly, King Piccolo had a power level of 450 or higher. He could use 'Demon Killing Fist' to kill him but if he killed him Kami would die too. He wanted Kami to owe him a favor. How could he use a favor from a dead person?
So, he decided to create the "Evil containment wave". It took him two years to create it. During this period his power level had minimal increment. In a blink of an eye, it was the year 460 and Rayhan had become 50 but he looked like a 20-year-old.
His master had come to stay in the valley 3 years ago but he had refused the paradise grass and the water from the fountain of youth. He wanted to break through the shackle of mortality through his power. Rayhan could not understand his master's and mother's way of thinking but he did not say anything regarding this topic. His power had dropped to 250 from 260 as his old age was catching up but with the help of weighted clothes and some usage of the medicine, the old man had jumped from 250 to 290 in 3.5 years. The old man had accumulated a lot of wealth So, he poured all of the wealth into medicines and such. Naturally, Rayhan also gave him some from his stash. Tiger Hermit would probably live another 50 years with his sheer power of martial arts but after that, he would have to pass on to the afterlife.
