Although this method of shaking the dirt loose to pull up the grass looked easy, it was actually quite difficult.
For one thing, Qin Shaofeng used up 10 Inner Qi Points every time he did it. If he kept pulling grass this way, harvesting ten pounds of Vitality Grass would leave him utterly exhausted.
