On September 28, Zhao Xing had already spent a month at Bright Moon Medicine Hall.
Every day followed the same two-point routine:
He rode a Bamboo Horse up the mountain to gather herbs, toured the medicine workshops, consulted prescriptions, and studied medical texts.
Though tedious, it was fulfilling.
"The month-end assessment is the day after tomorrow." Zhao Xing lay on his bed and opened his panel to review what he had gained over the past month.
[Name: Zhao Xing] [Realm: Unranked] [Fortune: Derivation One] [Basic Medical Skill: Diagnostic Analysis Technique (Herbal Compendium Section)] [Basic Spell: Spirit Scent (515/1000)] [Basic Medical Instrument Mastery: 124/1000] [Basic Gathering Technique: 565/1000] [Basic Materia Medica: Principal Medicines] [Basic Materia Medica: Supplementary Medicines] [Basic Materia Medica: Prepared Medicines] [General Prescription Mastery (Basic): 2,452 types] [Basic Medicine-Washing Technique (Instrument)] [Basic Refining Technique] [Sachet-Making Method (New Warming and Exterior-Relieving Method)] [Essence Gathering: Tier 3 (33/100)] [Class Change Mission: (First Stage in Progress)]
"Most of a materia medica physician's skills, the skills covering the four stages of gathering, washing, processing, and storage, have reached the basic level."
"The passive skills for knowledge accumulation are reflected in the [General Prescription Mastery] skill."
"With mastery of more than two thousand common prescriptions, I could go to a small clinic and become a resident physician now."
"Even my Essence Gathering level has risen by two tiers."
Bright Moon Medicine Hall's wages truly were not high, only two taels, but the hidden benefits were considerable. First, the properly balanced meals could speed up Essence Gathering.
Second, the mid-month festival had happened to fall during this period, and Bright Moon Medicine Hall had handed out a Gathering Yuan Pill. Even apprentices received one.
"I wonder how difficult the assessment will be."
Zhao Xing still remembered what Zheng Yulin had said a month
