I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 47 Establishing a Herb Field

Several days of intense work dealing with patients and refining elixirs left Chen Jingle somewhat exhausted.

However, the benefits are also obvious.

Firstly, Chen Jingle's skills in refining basic pills have reached a level of perfection, and his experience in refining pills is also increasing rapidly.

This visible benefit barely dispelled his fatigue.

"As expected, alchemy requires a lot of practice."

Even the most talented alchemists, despite their rich theoretical foundation, cannot do without practical application.

If they continue like this, the alchemist's experience will likely surpass that of the Qi Refiner and the Spirit Plant Master soon, making them the first profession to advance to a higher level.

It’s really hard to keep up with the changes in plans.

That's why he didn't completely refuse everyone who came to ask for the medicine; otherwise, it would be a waste to use all the refined Yang-Nourishing Pills to fill the warehouse.

Let's make the most of everything.

Secondly, unlike before, it is no longer necessary to pursue high-quality medicinal materials in order to ensure the quality of the pills.

Now, even with ordinary quality medicinal herbs, he can still refine medium- to high-quality pills.

It is clear that improving and mastering the skills is still very important.

For Chen Jingle, effectively reducing production costs without affecting product quality is the best possible outcome.

"It seems like he wants to be hung up by the streetlights."

just kidding.

Even using ordinary medicinal materials, the quality of Yunyang Pill still makes it a conscientious product, not something you can just scam anyone off the street for.

Those who sell counterfeit medicine are the ones who truly deserve to die!

Another factor is income.

Although Chen Jingle didn't value money as much as he did, the sales profit still exceeded 15 after three days.

No wonder everyone says the pharmaceutical industry is extremely profitable.

Because he set various purchase restrictions, the number of people coming to ask for the medicine decreased significantly.

In this way, he only needs to refine one or two batches a day, and he can use the remaining time to do other things without interfering with his cultivation plan.

If necessary, he would even consider suspending the supply of Yunyang Pills to external parties.

Don't talk about being a doctor with a benevolent heart then, you've messed up my normal plans!
Fortunately, it seems there's no major problem.

"We could consider purchasing more high-quality medicinal herbs."

Chen Jingle pondered.

It doesn't matter if he can't gather all the materials for some pills right now. He can prepare the materials he can gather first, and then start refining them as soon as he gets the scarce materials.

He likes to plan everything in advance and proceed according to plan.

My main task at present is alchemy, and in addition, I cultivate myself and tend to the orchard, vegetable garden and flowers.

Although the time spent on plant care has decreased compared to before, at least it hasn't completely stopped.

As for the Pet Master profession, you can do daily tasks in your spare time, such as petting cats or feeding water to two red-feathered chickens to gain some experience.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that this will be the last of these professions to advance to the next level.

Overall, the schedule is a bit more hectic than before, but it's still within the normal range.

……

In addition, there is a rather troublesome matter.

It refers to the phases of the moon.

As the 25th and 26th of the lunar calendar approach, it means that the moon will temporarily disappear again.

Just like last time, it will probably last for six or seven days, and then it will reappear on the third or fourth day of next month.

During this period, Chen Jingle could only draw on his original reserves to consume the Moon Dew he needed.

"Fortunately, we had considered this issue beforehand and made sufficient preparations in advance, so we were not caught off guard and unable to do anything without the Moon Dew."

Chen Jingle breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the current reserves, it was enough to sustain their basic daily needs for the next week.

Even more than enough.

After all, he had been working hard to collect moon dew during this period, especially during the full moon.

Chen Jingle felt that he was being a little too sensitive and worried, but of course, as long as it wasn't excessive anxiety, it wasn't a bad thing.

With food at home, there's no need to panic.

Unfortunately, the spring breeze and rain have run out and cannot be replenished.

"Let me see how long it is until the start of autumn..."

Chen Jingle flipped through the calendar: "Damn, there are still two and a half months left!"

Only on August 7th can one obtain the third kind of essence of heaven and earth, besides moonlight dew and spring breeze and rain dew—golden wind and jade dew.

This means that if we continue to consume the current amount of Moon Dew during this period, we will definitely need to live within our means, if not tighten our belts.

Cultivating scallions, watering vegetables, and promoting the growth of flowers such as roses and bougainvillea, all these things add up to a considerable burden.

Fortunately, these are not things that need to be consumed every day.

Even with the scallions they provide regularly, Chen Wenjie and Li Guangming, the two younger brothers, basically stop setting up their stall if it rains heavily at night during the rainy season.

This way, they can be left to be harvested the next day.

As for the water spinach and lettuce I grew myself, I can't finish them all at once, so I can keep them for a while longer. Although they taste great, it's not like I can't eat the ones from outside.

As for flowers, there's no need to rush.

With proper planning, Chen Jingle felt confident that he could make it to the beginning of autumn.

"If we successfully acquire the Golden Dew, we will be much better off financially."

The prerequisite is that you are well prepared and everything goes smoothly.

Unlike the spring breeze and dew, by the time he has the conditions and ability, spring has already passed.

……

After careful consideration, Chen Jingle decided to set aside a small medicinal herb garden area in the orchard, in addition to the vegetable garden.

Or rather, the medicine and the fruit coexist.

In the past, when reading fantasy novels, each major sect would have its own exclusive herb garden, providing various spiritual herbs and medicines for alchemy.

For alchemists, spiritual herbs and medicines are indispensable.

Cultivators from all walks of life often fight each other for a single spiritual herb, vying for that sliver of opportunity.

It's quite cruel to think about.

The so-called cultivation of immortality seems no different from the mortal world of martial arts, with people killing and plundering for profit.

Old Han has done this kind of thing quite often.

The alchemy techniques mastered by Chen Jingle mostly require high-quality medicinal herbs in their formulas. Some of these herbs are extremely rare and difficult to find anywhere in the world.

Although it is unlikely that he can collect so many top-quality medicinal herbs in a short period of time, it does not prevent him from trying to cultivate some himself.

People without thought, he must worry about.

We might as well take a longer-term view.

It is said that the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now. The same applies to medicinal herbs.

So he decided to make full use of the remaining space under the fruit trees and plant some medicinal herbs.

Take ginseng as an example.

I bought some ginseng seeds online, intending to sow them under fruit trees and cultivate them as wild ginseng.

Although the Lingnan region is not a traditional ginseng-growing area, he relied on his golden finger and the essence of heaven and earth, such as Moon Dew, which can accelerate plant growth, and wanted to give it a try.

What if it succeeds?
