"So, it's a girl, huh?" Rean said as he looked at the baby embraced in Malaka's arms. Well, they all knew about that already since they could feel it in Malaka's belly with their Spiritual Senses. Rean then took a Soul Power Measurement Orb and had the little baby touch it.
-Soul Power, 24 points-
*Wow!*
In the end, Rean was right. Because Malaka and Agis developed Soul Power, their kid inherited that trait. It wasn't anything impressive, though. If one thought about Frandin, for example, he had 73 points when he was born. Although 73 points were considered a high value for newborn Zasfins, 24 points were on the other end of the line. It was deemed as below average.
"The amount of Soul Power she has doesn't matter. The fact is that she has above 20 points. Once she grows old enough, she will be able to manipulate and train it. Also, it means that Bloodline Soul Mark Formations are now useless on her since her Soul Power is too high. This is what I want to happen with all the humans in Wringan Continent." Rean was obviously happy to see that. Even if the value was below 20 points, the fact is that the kid's Soul Power would develop on its own during the next few years. Because of that, it would surpass 20 points sooner or later as it has inherited her parents' bloodline.
Qia took the little girl in her arms and couldn't help but ask, "Have you decided a name for her already?"
Malaka immediately nodded, responding, "It's Mia."
Immediately, everyone understood. That was the name of Malaka's old master, the Dalamu Sect Master, who 'died' in Sunkan Planet. Even now, none of them knew what happened after the planet's 'destruction.'
Those words also reminded Rean of his sister, Rana. She had been barely born when that event happened. "Sigh...what a very good name, Malaka."
The others also agreed with Rean.
"Indeed."
"I couldn't have thought about something better."
"I think it's great!"
Roan, who hasn't said anything until now, snorted in response, saying, "I see. That means you still remember your days of training with your old master. That's great! I'll make sure to make her soul in the underworld proud. Now that your kid is finally born, you better be prepared to make up for all the laziness up to this point."
Malaka's expression went pale after hearing that, more than it was after giving birth. "Ahem...perhaps we should select another name for her. What do you think, Agis?"
Agis looked away, pretending he didn't hear anything as he whistled. "Nice weather outside, don't you think?" Today was very cloudy...

Malaka was crying already after that. "Traitor!"
*Hahahaha!*
The mood in the room immediately brightened up once again. Rean, for a moment, glanced at Roan, who closed his eyes as if nothing had happened. 'Well, it's not every day you see Death itself caring about everyone's feelings.'
[That's true. We could say that the Demon King is improving, even if it's an old tortoise's pace.] Sister Orb agreed with Rean's thoughts as well.
Roan completely ignored those two before turning around to leave the room. He saw what he wanted to see, which was the baby's Soul Power. That meant Rean's plan of awakening the humans' Soul Power could really work.
In fact, Rean felt a lot more confident once he saw the numbers on the Soul Power Measurement Orb. After all, he could only use his feeling for Life Force to confirm it so far. Having concrete proof in front of him was another story altogether.
Later that day, Rean went to check the reports of the equipment created with his Light Element Gathering Metals. He spent quite a bit of his time making many huge pieces of low-level ingots. Those ingots were then sent to several cities where gold and blacksmiths turned them into small and cheap pieces of equipment. Freedom Sect even created a new company just for that, the Freedom Healing SA. No one understood why Rean put SA in the name, though. "You guys don't need to care about it. It's just a personal taste..." or so Rean said.
The disciples in his office organized all the papers and jade slips so that Rean only had to read through them. "Oh! So we were able to reduce the price to the point where people can buy it with cooper coins, huh? That's great!" Freedom Healing SA's equipment had a good effect on injuries, especially on people who didn't have any cultivation.
One must remember that the higher one's cultivation, the harder it was for Rean to heal. One could take Phex and Darian, the two Stage Nine Divine Demon Beasts, as examples. In Darian's case, Rean spent weeks working on him. However, ordinary humans, which were obviously the majority, didn't have any cultivation whatsoever. That's where Rean's healing equipment made the biggest impact.
Kids who simply fell on the ground and bruised their knees, for example. In just a few hours, such injuries would be gone as long as they kept wearing a Healing Collar. One can't underestimate this power. Bruises weren't things that disappeared in just a few hours to start with. Usually, they would take several days to weeks, depending on how serious they were. As for more serious injuries, like broken bones and so on, a few days wearing the Healing Equipment would usually be enough.
Rean's ingots all had minuscule Spiritual Energy Gathering Runes all over. Since the metal gathered Light Element once Spiritual Energy was poured inside, they were constantly absorbing and released tiny amounts of Light Element in the users' bodies. Now that the company succeeded in reducing their price to mere copper coins, it obviously became a hot pocket in the hands of the shops selling it.
A few countries saw this chance and immediately made agreements with Freedom Healing SA. Obviously, the company accepted all of them as long as they kept the base of the business, which was the low price. "Sigh...the only question now is how long it will take for the wearers to develop their Soul Power. If I'm not wrong, I should see a few developments in the next few months in the areas where this type of equipment was first introduced." He could only wait to see how it would go from there.
Rean then looked at one of the disciples in his office before saying, "Make sure to keep the Soul Measurement Orbs available for the public everywhere. Just say that the first humans to achieve a Soul Power over 20 points will receive a prize in gold coins from the Freedom Sect."
The disciples immediately nodded after that. "Yes, Elder Rean. We already have our partners working on it. If you visit the first regions that received our Healing Items, you will see that their cities have Soul Power Measurement Orbs positioned on crowded streets. Our partners, who are selling them, are also promoting it in their own shops."
Rean was satisfied with that. "That's good. Let me know as soon as a human with more than 20 points of Soul Power appears. I want to go and see it myself."
"We understand, Elder Rean."
