"I've seen the records of other houses, and at most they can only make five cents a day."

  In the long corridor of the Poison House Courtyard, Zi Hua sat on the railing with a pout and muttered: "Alas, it's so difficult!"

  "Five points, I don't know how much others need to do, but we spend almost a whole day just to mix the poison to five points, not counting the time to prepare materials." Ziqi frowned and said: "However, if it's coordinated well, the top two are usually no problem."

  "Really? What are we waiting for! Sis, quickly assign what everyone needs to do!"

  Zi Qi nodded and opened the scroll, extending her hand to take one-third of the left side. She looked at Lin Lin and Zi Hua: "I'll be in charge of these more difficult ones, what about you two?"

  "I'll take care of the ones in between." Zi Hua drew a circle around the middle: "Let Linlin handle those relatively simple ones on the right!"

  "Good." Linlin nodded in response and looked at Hua Rou standing beside her: "Wait, we've got all these, what's Hua Rou doing?"

  "Her?" Zi Hua sneered: "What can she do? She's useless!"

  Ling Ling looked at Hua Rou with unease, her face full of worry.

  If she hadn't participated in contributing, she's afraid she won't get the materials in the future...

  "Will you poison me?"

  Huajun awkwardly asked questions, and Ziqi shook her head.

  "Then you go prepare the herbs for us, you can recognize them, right?"

  "I recognize it, as long as it's in 'The Poison Classics of Grass and Wood'..."

  "Of course!" Zi Qi's face turned impatient as he glared at Hua Rou: "Everyone listen up, this time our Poison House can't afford to lose. If we can't get first place, we must get second, got it?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  "Let me be blunt, everyone should do their part well. If someone doesn't do their job properly, they'll get less material in the future, so don't come to share!"

  Zi Qi's gaze fell on Hua Rou, and Hua Rou looked at her with a sharp glare, gritting her teeth and nodding: "Understood!"

  Hua Rou turned around and left the yard with a basket on her back, heading towards Yao Shan.

  "I'll go through the remaining materials and see what I can do first." Linlin also turned around to get busy.

  Zi Qi rolled up the scroll and was about to leave when Zi Hua grabbed her arm.

  "Sister! Why did you bring Hua Rou along?" Zi Hua lowered his voice and complained, "We shouldn't have brought her. Wouldn't it be better if she didn't have any material to use?"

  Zi Qi stared at her: "Are you stupid? Now is the time when everyone works together to earn materials, one more strength means one more chance of winning."

  "But..."

  "There's no 'what if', but if I lose, I'll never be able to show my face to that person again!" Zi Qi said as she walked away, leaving Zi Hua to follow behind her with a scowl.

  Huā Róu only recognized a small part of the characters on the scroll, but she had the Poison Classic in her hand, which clearly and distinctly illustrated every kind of medicinal herb.

  So, by looking at it and finding out what to pick, I know what to pick, but at first it's a bit slow. After half an hour or so, it becomes more and more smooth, and often just take a glance at the picture, and in my heart, I already know what to pick.

  At the time of Huā Róu's picking, except for the disciples of Fèng Zhòu House and Jiā Yè House in the Tang Sect, everyone else was busy.

  Although Mu Jun didn't consider himself a part of the Tang Sect and had no intention of contributing to the sect's efforts, he wouldn't shirk from doing what was expected of him as a guest. So, he volunteered to collect saltpeter and came to Yao Mountain.

  He had a pair of extraordinary eyes since he was young, those tiny and subtle differences that others couldn't see with the naked eye were as clear as a ravine to him, so identifying stones was simply a piece of cake for him.

  He strolled leisurely, sauntered around in a circle, and his sack was already half full. Feeling that it was enough, he headed back down the mountain. However, when passing by the medicinal field on the way down, he saw someone sneaking around with their waist bent, hiding behind an old tree.

  Admiring you, I subconsciously looked forward in the direction of that person. He not only saw Hua Rou squatting in the seedling nursery but also saw a disciple of the Jia Ye House sneaking up quietly behind her and approaching the backpack she had placed on the ground.

  He furrowed his brow, but didn't utter a word to remind him. He silently watched as the disciple secretly took away the backpack full of herbs and quietly slipped back beside his companions.

  "Got it! Now she won't have enough materials, the poisonous house won't be completed, and Ziqi's temper will definitely make her suffer!"

  "But Flying Swallow Sister instructed us to severely punish her, so she wouldn't dare to bully Tang Xiao Brother again! Is that enough?"

  "After being taken advantage of a few times, she'll know to reflect on herself. Once she understands that some people can't be messed with, she'll definitely become more restrained!"

  "That makes sense."

  Two disciples walked away whispering, Mu Jun Wu looked at Hua Rou's back with a suspicious expression.

  What's the idea of playing the bamboo flute?

  At this time, Hua Rou grasped a handful of picked herbs and turned around, but then she was stunned.

  "Hey? Where's my basket?"

  Hua Rou searched around in shock and confusion, unable to understand why her backpack had disappeared.

  I hid behind a tree and silently watched Huajou, still not making a sound.

  Huā Róu couldn't find the backpack, at first she was a bit dazed, but then she knocked her own head with a regretful expression, and put down the herbs on the ground, took off her jacket and shirt and threw them to the ground, then put the herbs in, and started picking again.

  Admiring you, I see your expression and walk over to sit on a nearby rock, watching as Flower Gentle picks herbs.

  Hua Rou was very angry, but she was even more anxious.

  It doesn't matter who took away the backpack at this moment, what's important is that she must bring back enough herbs to make up for it.

  Fortunately, she had a deep impression of the herbs she had picked before, so this time it was much faster.

  Two hours later, the sun had set and entered dusk. Tang Xiao also came to patrol the mountain as usual, except that today he was followed by someone.

  "Brother Tang, don't go patrolling the mountain today, I still have a few things that need your help!" Tang Feiyan followed closely behind Tang Xiao, only a step away.

  "I've told you, I'll go help you after I finish patrolling the mountain." Tang Xiao didn't even turn his head and took big strides forward: "You don't have to follow..."

  "I'm following you, don't you like it?" Tang Feiyan raised her voice and said with a pout, stomping her foot.

  Tang Xiao heard the noise and reluctantly turned around: "It's not that I don't like it, but you don't have to work so hard."

  Tang Feiyan's face immediately flushed with shyness, and she took two steps forward to grab Tang Xiao's arm: "Accompanying you, when have I ever felt it was a hardship?"

  Tang Xiao's face wore a smile, with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment as he curled up the corners of his lips: "Fei Yan, I know your intentions, but you also know that Grandma raised me and has high hopes for me. As for..."

  "You must take responsibility for the Tang Sect and take good care of every single disciple, right?" Tang Fei Yan rolled her eyes: "I know what you're going to say..."

  Tang Xiao sighed helplessly: "Fei Yan..."

  "Alright, alright, I won't stop you then."

  Tang Xiao smiled and turned around to move forward, but Tang Feiyan still held onto his arm.

  Tang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, glanced at his own arm, and then stepped forward without saying anything, but there was deep helplessness in his eyes.

  The two of them continued walking forward like this, from time to time Tang Fei Yan would ask him a few questions, and he would say whatever came to mind.

  Not long after, they arrived near the medicine field. Tang Fei Yan's eyes began to glance into the seedling nursery, and soon she saw half of Hua Rou's figure. She immediately looked at Tang Xiao, and indeed, Tang Xiao also saw Hua Rou.
