"So you went to that mountain in order to get some medicinal herbs and sell some and use it?" Jin Rou asked. They were currently eating pork buns that were inside the inventory of Zin Shi. They were currently taking a rest under the shade of after they got out of the mountain to have Zin Shi rest her body for a moment. After all, she just kept silent on the way and just breathed hard.
Zin Shi remained quiet for a while before answering, "Mhmm. My grandfather is a master physician, so we always collect medicinal herbs. That is what we do for our living. After all, we are not getting any support from the clan."
"Right, if it's not sensitive to say, you told me a while ago that you guys were exiled from the Shi Clan. Why is that?" Jin Rou asked as he took a bite from the bun.
"Because the family where I was born with had the lowest pureness of unique blood." Zin Shi bitterly smiled, "In the Shi Clan, the pureness of the unique blood is very important. It is the basis of what will be your future in the clan. I, unfortunately, had the lowest pureness of ten percent."
She paused for a moment, sighing in her heart and said, "I can't even train a normal and mediocre Blood Arts technique. If I ever try to learn it, it will surely just kill me by getting every dose of blood in me since mine was not sufficient."
"But I don't think that would be enough for you guys to be exiled in the clan. After all, whatever happens, you are still a Shi clansman, having the blood of the clan running in your veins." Jin Rou said. He thought that this girl had yet to know that she had the pureness of the unique blood that can't be born in a branch clan. Although this fact is not yet visible, if Jin Rou does some alterations in her body, that would sure be awakened. He wondered, what would be the expressions of those in the 630th branch when they realized that they exiled their hope to rise in the greater heights?
"Yeah, that's true." Zin Shi responded, "That's a long story, I will tell you that next time if I have the chance."
Seeing that Zin Shi had no longer any interest of opening any information for him, he did not bother asking again about that.
After finishing eating the buns prepared, Zin Shi stood up and said, "I am going back to the Physician Guild. Where are you going?" She wanted to ask a thing or two about Jin Rou. However, seeing the mysterious and indescribable innate aura surrounding him, she dismissed this thought and just want to go home.
"You are a member of the Physician Guild?" Jin Rou was elated and asked, "Would you mind if I tag along?"
"I won't mind." Zin Shi immediately answered. Now that her only relative was dead, she wanted to have someone to accompany her and someone she could trust. If her gut feeling is right, Jin Rou is someone she could trust. Well, not that her guts have been wrong in the past. Besides, this would be a great chance to know more about something about this man in his twenties. She knew there was something special in this man. In her eyes, although he was not that handsome, he was damn attractive for her. In fact, the moment she had a talk with her, her heart unexpectedly skipped for a bit. Her eyes for people is not just for show.

"This is La Enstance, right?" Jin Rou asked.
According to what Yuna Sierra told him, La Enstance is one of the most successful and strongest powers residing in Grivexia. Rumors said that this city had an Immortal Emperor protecting this place. That's why no powers nearby dared to attack this place though it was literally a treasure vault.
"Yes, this La Enstance. This is the city where the Physician Guild resides." Zin Shi said, "But don't get me wrong, although our Physician Guild is residing here in this city, we don't need their protection."
"Oh, so you're guild is an independent one." Jin Rou said, "But depending on the circumstances, you might need the help of them, right?"
"In any case that we could not handle anymore yes, probably." Zin Shi nodded in agreement.
She paused for a moment and continued, "But there was never a time that our guild had asked for a favor from the echelons of La Enstance."
"I see." Jin Rou nodded. He roamed around and found out that this place was lot modern than the Farna's Mortal World. The buildings, the items being sold, everything was a level or two higher. Not to mention, this place had rumored to have am Immortal Emperor guarding in the shadows.
"So your guild has also an Immortal Emperor?" Jin Rou asked. After all, Immortal Emperors were the pinnacle of power here in Grivexia.
"Immortal Emperor!" For some unknown reason, Zin Shi felt agitated and blurted it out. When she realized that it was very inappropriate, she added, "I'm sorry. It's just that, it is my dream to be an Immortal Emperor someday. But when I think about my unique blood that can't even practice a lowly type of Blood Arts, I know that's just a pipe dream."
"That's not a pipe dream, for sure." Jin Rou smiled, "You still have yet to learn your limits and how to exceed it."
"What are you talking about?" Zin Shi felt a chill running down in her spine. For some reason, she felt that this man in front of her had already seen through everything about her.
"Nothing. You'll know it when the time comes." Jin Rou did not open any information again and dismissed the topic.
Zin Shi wanted to ask again. However, when Jin Rou dismissed it, she threw it at the back of her head. She'll just wait for that time if it ever comes.
"Here we are." Zin Shi said as she gestured the fancy building and tall building in front of her.
That's right, this is the Physician's Guild. This building consists of only two floors. However, the moment one entered this place would realize that this place was grander than those any other guilds in the past. With its right aroma of medicinal herbs planted in a pot everywhere, the ambiance was so comforting that would ease anyone's tension.
Just when Zin Shi was about to guide Jin Rou around, a cry suddenly rang right after they entered, saying,
"Please... Help!"
