Within the Kunlun disciples, there were four great ministries, each of whom were recognized as top tier players in The Other Shore, not too significantly weaker than Ni Shui Han.

Blood Poppy was a member of the Gancao Zi branch, one of four great ministries, and was set to become one of the core figures in the newly established Blood-herb Clan; the third old man was also a future core member of the Blood-herb Clan, called Spicy Kudzu Root.
Just in the Blood-herb Clan alone, there were four members ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, with their elder sister, Gancao Zi, even ranked seventh.
