Chapter 815: Only Through Effort Comes Reward

After Mr. Du finished teaching today’s Chinese medicine knowledge, he tested Xinyan’s understanding of the lessons.

Seeing that Xinyan could infer broadly from the knowledge taught, he beamed and said, "Judging by your progress, it won’t be long before this old man has nothing left to teach you."

Xinyan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Du, "That means Master teaches well."

Mr. Du took the tea, "I wouldn’t dare take credit for it. Even if someone is smart and diligent, without three to five years of practice, it’s hard to master."

Xinyan thought: You don’t see how much effort I, your disciple, have put in to achieve these results.

Indeed, if it weren’t for the medical books in the space as the foundation, alongside her talent, and her weekly practice in space, she wouldn’t have achieved these results.

Take acupuncture for example; last time Mr. Mu mentioned that given time, Xinyan’s accomplishments in acupuncture might be unmatched.

Receiving such high praise from Mr. Mu shows how impressive Xinyan’s acupuncture skills are, but others might not know how much she has put into it.

Initially, Xinyan would enter the space every night, exercise her body, practice martial arts, and then acupuncture, until she could accurately locate pressure points even with her eyes closed, which is why her practice eventually became less intense.

But afterwards, whenever she entered the space at night, she would practice a bit, fearing her skills might rust if she didn’t wield the silver needle regularly.

So, regardless of the field, it’s true that hard work leads to achievements; it’s truly a case of practicing diligently for years behind the scenes for a moment on stage. She’s already worn out several boxes of silver needles.

Fortunately, Xinyan has an advantage; not only does the Space Stream Water condition her body, but the time ratio in space also gives her ample time to practice, so she’s truly blessed with the right timing, location, and people.

Mr. Du saw her ready to leave and said, "Your fourth senior brother looked at the seminar schedule and asked me to remind you that the next two days are crucial, and you should adjust your time accordingly."

Xinyan nodded with a smile, "Got it."

After greeting the mistress in the living room, Xinyan prepared to leave.

Du Lingyun came out just after putting her son to sleep, "Yanyan, you’re leaving?"

Xinyan nodded with a smile, "Yes, Sister Lingyun, is Xuanxuan asleep?"

Du Lingyun softly responded "Hmm," looking like she wanted to say more, but finally spoke up, "Come, I’ll see you out."

Xinyan waved at the master and mistress and then walked out with Du Lingyun, "Sister Lingyun, do you have something to ask me?"

Du Lingyun hesitated a little, "You noticed?"

At the entrance, Du Lingyun considered for a moment before speaking, "I heard from my dad that when you acknowledged him as your mentor, you gave a ginseng as a token of respect."

Realizing the implications of her words, she quickly added, "Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean anything else."

Xinyan smiled at her anxious expression, "It’s okay, take your time."

Du Lingyun cleared her throat, "Here’s the situation, my father-in-law used to work in a geological exploration team, spending years working outdoors in his youth, now with age he has many chronic ailments.

Previously, my dad sent a small bottle of ginseng wine, my father-in-law drank it and felt it worked, before I returned my mother-in-law even mentioned it specifically.

I thought it wouldn’t be good to ask my dad for more, but considering you lived over in East Province, you probably know quite a few people there, so I thought I’d trouble you to ask around to see if you could find aged ginseng.

If you do, it’d be perfect to have my dad prepare some ginseng wine; rest assured, money is not an issue, just if you could bother yourself to inquire."

Xinyan, understanding it was about this, said, "Sister Lingyun, I remembered it, I’ll call my friends over there and ask them to look into it, I’ll inform you once there’s news."

Du Lingyun thanked her, "Thank you, I really appreciate it."

Xinyan waved, "It’s not like you’re someone else, no need to be so formal, I’ll ask a few more friends to help find it, I’ll be going now."
