64 Close, closer than you imagine.

"... What? My blood? why do you want my blood?"(Shi-Woon).

"Relax dude, it's not what you are thinking. Remember I commented briefly that my mother was sick?"(Jin).

"Yeah, I remember you say something like that. Is she better now?"(Shi-Woon).

"No, and that's why I want that little bit of your blood."(Jin).

"Sorry, but I am still not following it care-"(Shi-Woon)

"She is dying Shi-Woon, my mother is dying."(Jin).

"What?"(Shi-Woon).

"She was infected with a rare disease, and the only thing I know that can help her cure it is your blood."(Jin).

"That is... I don't really know what today, it's just that my blood is in no way special for it to be some miraculous cure."(Shi-Woon).

"You have no idea, have you?"(Jin).

"No fo course not, I don't remember-... Wait... maybe that pill I consumed had this different effect. That pill was potent enough that master had to help me circulate my [Ki] after all."(Shi-Woon).

"You are indeed correct, the [Divine Dan] you consumed is literally one of the most potent know pills in existence. And a potent pill like that is in so way simple."(Jin).

"Wait... How do you know it's a [Divine Dan]? I didn't tell anyone about it. And I am sure neither my master nor his friends told you."(Shi-Woon)

"Shi-Woon, I may not be smart, but I am not stupid either. Someone who had below-average [Ki] suddenly appears at school with [Ki] enough to be a bootleg [Real Master], that person gotta only be cheating using a pill. The second clue was how fast you recovered from having your [Ki Center] broken."(Jin).

"What my broken [Ki Center] has to do with this? I don't see how-"(Shi-Woon).

"Dude, a broken [Ki-Center] should've put you into a coma for months at least. It nothing shy of a miracle that you are walking and talking. And the only pill that gives so much [Ki] and such healing proprieties to its user is a [Divine Dan]."(Jin).

"I understand... But how can this help your mother?"

"My mother has a disease called [Corpus Vitalico Infernalis], and according to one of my sources of information the [Divine Dan] was literally created with the objective of healing said disease. What I want to do with your blood is use it to help my mother, either by sort of "remaking" a [Divine Dan] or in the worst case a blood transfusion. Thankfully my mother's blood type is AB so there isn't a risk of incompatibility."(Jin).

"I don't mind donating my blood to your mother, if this will save her I am happy to help."(Shi-Woon)

"Thanks, you really don't know how much this means to me. You literally help save the life of my mother. Thank you."(Jin).

"No problem Jin, you helped me with your info too. So how are we gonna do it?"(Shi-Woon).

"Relax, I won't be doing this right now. You are literally in the hospital and still recovering, I am not that heartless. Besides, I also need to arrange things and fin a specialized hospital for cultivators."(Jin).

"Isn't this one of those hospitals?"(Shi-Woon).

"Yeah, it is. But I first need to take care of some other things, principally transferring my mother, as it is a delicate process so it can take a bit of time. Don't worry when the time comes I will call you, just remember to take care of your health for when the time comes."(Jin).

"Okay, I understand."(Shi-Woon).

"Now that the important stuff is out of the way. We can talk about-"(Jin).

We talked for some hours more, even Shi-Woon's mother passed to say hi, She surely is working a lot but I could clearly see that she cares about her son a lot. she talked with both for some time and seeing that Shi-Woon was okay she went back to her work.

After that came Sae-Hee with her extremely contagious bubbly personality, she is really a happy go, lucky girl. She was quite surprised on seeing me here but as we are classmates she didn't tough much of it, as is aid I was simply worried about a friend.

We all talked some more, and during all this time I made sure that my cell phone was downloading all of Shi-Woon's master teaching videos, it is 19 videos in total and I have downloaded 17 until now, I am nearly finished. 18 right now, and I already started downloading the 19th one, just a little bit more.

"Hah, it's getting late. I better go unless I want to stress my mother out. Bye Shi-Woon, bye Yang Jin"(Sae-Hee).

"Bye."(Shi-Woon/Jin).

"I am almost certain that girl likes you."(Jin).

"What are talking about!?"(Shi-Woon).

You could visibly see Shi-Woon get embarrassed by my affirmation, but i am not that surprised Sae-Hee is developing feelings for Shi-Woon, he literally saved her from being raped knowing he would get beaten up, that must look very heroic in Sae-Hee eyes. While both also appear to be good friends, so I won't be surprised if she likes him. My phone vibrated a little indicating that the 19th and final video has been downloaded, Nice.

"Guess, this is my time to go. I haven't eaten anything besides breakfast today so I am quite hungry. Before I go, I would like to thank you one more time for your help Shi-Woon, Really, Thank you. Bye, and take care of yourself."(Jin).

"Bye Jin, and thanks for everything."(Shi-Woon).

I Just smiled and go out, coming to a building like this was quite a bold move, principally with the number of [Advanced Masters] here, liking it or not this is one of the murim alliance hospitals, or at the least an affiliated one so its bound to have some cultivators here.

While I was walking towards the stairs my vision was unconsciously attracted towards a room which has its door slightly opened, I didn't waste time and immediately put on my sunglasses and activated my [Sharingan]. What is ay almost give me a scare, it was the Boss. And I am sure it is him, that crimson aura is impossible to miss, when Recruit described this guy as "crimson" he wasn't playing arround.

Thankfully the Boss right now I looking more like a mummy than a threatening individual, that fight on the rooftop must've costed him greatly and I am not even surprised he is hospitalized. This would've been an ideal moment to kill my persecutor, he is weak and relatively powerless right now, and I am not above using dirty tactics against my enemies.

Sadly my hopes were cut short when I saw how heavily guarded this room was, there are at least Six cultivators guarding the wounded Boss, and they are at a minimum on the rank of [Master]. Shit, better get out of here before any of them notices me shopping around. A little bit faster than before I proceed to walk down the stairs and exit the hospital, exiting the hospital I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
