Obeying Lin Caisang’s command, Lin Chushui had done nothing but concentrate on reading those books these past few days, committing their content to memory. But today...
"Chushui, what are you doing?"
When Lin Caisang arrived at the pharmacy, she saw Lin Chushui sitting there, staring intently at some herbs.
"Sister Sangsang, you’re here?"
Upon seeing her, Lin Chushui quickly stood up to greet her.
"You’re not reading or sleeping. What’s so interesting about these herbs?" Lin Caisang asked him, amused.
Reading can be a tedious task, particularly when one has to memorize a whole book. It can be uncomfortable, so she could understand if Lin Chushui needed to take a break.
But one could rest by closing their eyes and meditating, eating something, sleeping, or even going outdoors for some fresh air.
So what was with looking at herbs?
"I’ve finished reading." Lin Chushui blinked and replied.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang was genuinely shocked.
"You mean you’ve finished reading all four books and memorized them? That fast?"
It had only been a few days, the eighth day to be specific. Had this lad actually memorized all four books?
Was he joking with her?
"The content in those books was easy to remember, I just memorized it."
He scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.
It seemed that she was right, Lin Chushui was indeed a talented individual. She needed to put more effort into cultivating him in the future.
"Then what were you doing looking at these herbs?" she asked.
"I’m not sure why, but after reading those books you gave me, every time I look at some herbs, I start visualizing some strange herbs in my mind, just like they are when they’ve just been picked, very much alive."
Lin Chushui explained.
Hearing this, Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows and looked at the herbs on the table.
Had he already connected the dots between the dried herbs and the freshly picked ones after just a tiny bit of knowledge from reading? Was it the magic of the books or was it Lin Chushui who was special?
Or perhaps, it had something to do with both.
"Ahem, good, as long as you remember them, you can go and rest." She told him.
"Alright, I want to go to the Liu Family first." Lin Chushui replied.
Lin Caisang nodded and watched him leave before she discreetly stepped into the Golden Bead space.
"Yujing, I’ve completed my hidden task, right?" Standing before the Yujing, she asked.
’Hidden task completed. Would you like to take on another advanced task?’ Two lines of text appeared in the Yujing.
Lin Caisang was slightly puzzled.
"The Second Prince’s injuries haven’t healed yet and I can take on another task? I thought I could only take on a new task after completing the previous one?"
The Second Prince’s external wounds were almost healed, but it would take months for his bones to completely recover. She thought that it would take at least half a month to complete this task.
’Advanced task completed ahead of schedule. Reward: Dual task period of one month.’
Seeing the words displayed on the Yujing, Lin Caisang was truly excited.
"Wait, Yujing, do you mean that for the next month, I can take on two tasks simultaneously, right?" And it wasn’t just limited to the tasks related to Jian’an City and Shaohua City, was it?
