Xiao Qing had been brought back for some days now.
Only twice with no particular matters in hand had she taken the initiative to ask Qin Niu to accompany her into the mountains to search for herbs.
But at home, she never cultivated.
He had initially thought she disliked cultivating, only now did he realize that this young girl was too considerate.
Afraid of harming his herbs.
"To cultivate the 'Medicine King Sutra,' one must absorb the essence of herbs, essentially taking away the essence contained within them. This can cause great harm to them. When my grandfather and I used to pick herbs and we found good ones, we'd immediately cultivate in the mountains. Moreover, we deliberately left some essence so as not to hurt their vitality."
Xiao Qing explained.
"The herbs you sold last time, they were all wilted, was it because you had absorbed their essence before selling them?"
Qin Niu asked her.
