550 Rely on Extraordinary Perseverance and Hard Work
They would usually only withdraw a little from Zhao Weimu, who was in charge of their assets. They would already feel devastated if they purchased enough medicinal herbs to refine pills for half a month.
Why did the camp buy so many medicinal herbs at once?
“Did Master buy it? Is he trying to make us refine medicine 24 hours a day without rest?”
Shui Xian could not help but wonder if what she said was true.
After all, not only did Ye Chenglin cause trouble for herself, but she also implicated Qin Yifeng and had her sent to the protected grounds.
Of course, Qin Yifeng and Qin Tingfeng were not the only ones affected. They, too, were affected. They had become busier since losing two medicine refiners.
She had been complaining in her heart initially. However, her sister told her that intermediate and advanced medicine refiners were all once forced to become good at what they did.
No medicine refiner could improve easily. They had to rely on extraordinary perseverance and hard work to do so.
Perhaps their level of medicine refinement would improve after being forced by reality?
If that happened, she would undoubtedly thank Ye Chenglin. They might not have made any progress if she hadn’t caused trouble and made her and her sister, Shui Liu, the only two remaining medicine refiners in the camp, flustered.
Of course, these were her mere thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?”
Yan Jin looked up from the large pile of medicinal herbs and glanced at them.
“Master bought this for Mistress,” he said.
Only their master would be willing to spend so much on this many medicinal herbs and Flaming Jade. Uncle Wang, who had delivered the medicinal herbs, was grinning happily.
He must have bought nearly all of Uncle Wang’s herbs, right?
“He bought it for Mistress?” Shui Liu raised her eyebrows in understanding.
It seems like Mistress wants to become a medicine refiner too! That’s fantastic news!
She was worried that Ye Chenglin, who specialized in causing trouble, would be recalled because there were insufficient medicine refiners in the camp and the number of medicinal pills refined could not keep up with the rate at which people were injured.
They could barely scrape by if their mistress knew how to refine medicine too. At most, they would request that Qin Yifeng return.
As for Ye Chenglin, she could go wherever she pleased.
She was arrogant and thought her medicinal refinement skills were the best in their camp. In fact, the four of them were roughly equally skilled. They had recently advanced to intermediate-level medicine refiners.
However, Ye Chenglin had advanced to an intermediate medicine refiner a few days before them. Even though it had only been a few days, she was arrogant, as if she had become the best in the world.
“I’ll gather all the pill prescriptions later and deliver them to Mistress,” she said after some thought.
The medicinal herbs and Flaming Jade were insufficient—the prescription was the most important. She knew that their master had brought her to the Building of Years, but every camp had its own secret medicine. They were no exception.
She had to send her these prescriptions.
“Sister, I don’t think all the necessary medicinal herbs are here. Some can’t be bought. We must deliver them to Mistress too,” Shui Xian added.
Medicine refiners like them would buy herbs from the shopping street and also go out to pick herbs. Herb picking was extremely dangerous here.
She felt that their master would definitely not let their mistress do it.
“Why don’t we pick some fresh medicinal herbs over the next two days?” she suggested.
