As the warmth from the settlement of his panel rose within him, Zhao Er could clearly feel that his eyesight seemed to have improved considerably again.
This was only his first cultivation session, and his proficiency had not even reached a hundred. Yet besides being able to see at night, his daytime vision had improved significantly too.
"Slow and steady... no rush..."
After checking the results of his cultivation, Zhao Er got up and left the courtyard, then went to the storeroom to inspect the ledger.
It recorded the ore and hundred-forged fine iron produced by the Third Squad's mining area each day. Only with it could he tell how far they were from meeting their monthly quota.
So whether or not Zhao Er felt inclined to verify every entry, he still had to leaf through it regularly. That way, no one would dare falsify the accounts.
After going through the ledger, he found that over the past half month, the mining area had only fallen short of its targets during the first few days. After Ning Jin and the others arrived, they had made up those shortfalls. It seemed there was no need to worry too much about this month's quota.
Once he had finished checking everything, Zhao Er thought for a moment and went to the First Squad to see Jiang Zhi. The two shared a meal before Zhao Er returned to his courtyard to cultivate.
Although Zhao Er had already completed his mission, and even his merit had been recorded, he still had to wait for his share of the silver.
Besides, Wu Xing had yet to emerge from seclusion, and Zhao Er had no other source of Qi-Gathering Pills. Even though his supply of medicinal pills was dwindling, he could only wait patiently at the mine.
