"I will accept these seventy-two igue flowers," said the man and took them from my hand, while I took the thing I want.

I placed it into my storage and looked at the whole market, where I had been shopping for the last hour, before walking toward my abode.

I come to the market day in the morning, afternoon, and evening and spend around two to three hours in it. It is far more than I would like to do, but there is no other choice.

If I didn't have other things to do, I would have stayed a few more hours.

People understand they might not be able to survive if they didn't give their all and now, using everything, they have to increase their strength. They are even taking risks and making breakthroughs, which they wouldn't usually do unless they are very sure of it.

So, there are a lot of things appearing in the market. Including the rewards from the temple.

In the past three nights, I have been here. Coins have been auctioned every night, among other rare treasures.

I didn't bet on them; their prize was too high. Though, I bet on the other things. I have killed a lot of Grimms and have a lot of things, not to mention my treasures and the resources, I have harvested from plants in my abode.

I am using all of them to get the things I want.

I stopped near the pillar at the end of the market and tapped on it. Soon, the ring came out bearing the resources, I looked inside, before adding new things to it and uploading my list before walking away.

I didn't have time to haggle with every person selling the things.

I have made a list of thousands of things I want and the things I have offered them. The pillar is an artifact that does the deals without the need for anyone to be present.

With that done, I walked toward my abode while watching the surrounding people. 

Hun!

A few minutes later, I reached my abode and saw twenty-six people already sitting in the waiting room. It surprised me, that in the morning, there were only six, but now, there are twenty more.

It had been only two days since I had opened the clinic, which is just like the one I had opened in Javelin City.

In these two days, I had helped make three successful breakthroughs; the one had just finished, an hour before I left for shopping.

Now, there are twenty-six people; seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

I nodded at them, all of them Earth Sovereigns, before walking into my office.

Click!

A minute later, the door opened and the woman with vine-like hair and purple skin walked inside.

"Healer, Tanis," she greeted. "Miss Urhav, please sit in the circle," I said, motioning her to sit in the stone circle. 

She had already filled out the detailed form; I had asked all the patients to do so. So, I know all the basic information about her.

Buzz.

Now, it is time for her meta-scan.

"I assume you want to make a breakthrough?" I asked her, to which she nodded. "Yes, I want to make a breakthrough to the Peak of Earth-Sovereign," she replied, with a nervous smile.

Her meta-scan appeared above her and every second, it became more and more detailed. So much so that it had even surprised her.

We didn't spear for a few minutes before I turned to her.

"Unfortunately, I have bad news for you. Ms. Urhav," I said to you and the sadness filled her eyes.

"You have not reached the limit, and you seemed to have used some heavy resources that strained your body and soul," "I wouldn't advise to make a breakthrough in a condition like this," I added.

"Is there nothing you could do?" she asked, to which I shook my head. "I cannot, Miss Urhav," I said and threw the crystal with the meta-scan and diagnosis in it.

I hope the other healer she goes to would tell her the same.

I am not the first healer she has gone to; I have seen the scanning rays in her body. She is taking an opinion from a lot of healers.

She left, and after her, a stone-skinned man entered.

Like her, he also wanted to make the breakthrough, and, like the woman, he was also not ready. Though his chances are better than hers, if he tried, he would also fail.

Seven patients came one after another, but not a single one of them was prepared enough to make a successful breakthrough.

"Mr. Kaln. You have around 70% chances of successful the breakthrough and you could improve them even further,"

"If we were outside, I would have definitely would have told you to wait and use that potential to the limit," I said to the scaled man, with a small blue pearl in the center of his forehead.

"I would have done the same, but here, I do not have that luxury," he said and sighed.

"As you are aware, I offer the breakthrough formation. It might sound like boasting, but it is the best one in the whole camp. If you want, you can book it," I said to him.

"My friend had made a breakthrough here in the morning. She had praised the experience a lot," he replied, and I smiled.

"I like to book a slot," 

"At which time?" I asked. "Sooner the better," he replied. To which I smiled. 

"I will have finished with patients by five. By then you can browse the assortment of essences and refined resources I have," "If you like, you can give me the list of resources you have prepared and I will see if you need anything," I said.

He hesitated for a moment before giving me a crystal.

A few seconds later, he walked through the door, while I sent the crystal to my clone. To study the list and make changes, if he requires it.
