Huang Yueli came to the medicinal field where a large area of dry land pearl lotus was planted, squatted down and stretched out her "devil's claw" towards the first lotus.
She first reached out her hand and gently touched the pink petals of the pearl lotus, as if to comfort it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the dry land pearl lotus, which had been swaying all over the place, suddenly straightened its stems and swayed slowly in the morning breeze, looking much more energetic.
Huang Yueli scratched the heart of the flower again, making the petals open a little more.
Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let me verify the results of yesterday's practice!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers again, silently reciting the instructions in her mind, and began to demonstrate the picking technique she had just learned yesterday.
A set of complicated techniques was displayed nimbly between her slender and beautiful fingers.
If Shu Yali and others see it, their jaws will definitely drop to the ground!
Because the skill and ease with which she performs her techniques are even better than those of them, genius alchemists who have undergone rigorous training! It's not something a beginner can show at all.
However, there was no one around now, except for Huang Yueli, who silently completed the hand gesture and then punched out gently.
The wood-attribute profound energy in the air was pulled by her hand skills and gently adhered to the petals of the dry land pearl lotus.
Huang Yueli saw the right moment, flicked her fingers, and plucked the entire lotus flower in one go.
Moreover, her force was neither light nor heavy, but just right. She only picked out all the medicinal inflorescences, without any damage to the leaves and rhizomes below.
Huang Yueli held up the first dry land pearl lotus she picked in both hands.
I saw the lotus in the palm of my hand. The color was crystal clear and pink. Each petal was the size of a pearl. It stretched lightly to the surroundings. It was so delicate and beautiful that it was impossible to tell that not long ago, this lotus was about to bloom. Withered and haggard appearance.
Huang Yueli only admired it for a short while, then quickly took out a jade box from her sleeve, carefully put the pearl lotus in, and then closed the lid tightly.
Since the vitality of medicinal materials will be greatly lost soon after they are picked from the plants, and the efficacy of the medicinal materials will also weaken rapidly with the passage of time.
In order to prevent this situation from affecting Doctor Dai's refining of medicine, the steward distributed a jade box specially used to store medicinal materials to each of their candidate apprentices.
This kind of jade box is refined using a special technique and has sealing patterns drawn on the outside, which can greatly slow down the loss of medicinal efficacy. It is one of the necessary tools for alchemists to go out to collect medicinal herbs.
The first harvest was a complete success.
This gave Huang Yueli great confidence.
A proud smile appeared on her face, "It doesn't seem to be difficult at all! I heard those alchemists talk about how difficult it is to pick medicinal materials... It seems they are deliberately trying to scare me!"
If Shu Yali heard this, she would definitely faint from tears on the spot!
She has worked hard for several years to practice her skills, but in the end, people don't like her at all, and she is despised like this... This is really a case of comparing one person to another and throwing away goods!
After the first experience, Huang Yueli became more confident and decisive in taking action.
It didn't take long for her to pick several lotus flowers, and the picking speed became faster and faster.
