The two Imperial Physicians who had followed Dongli to learn the medicine preparation process promptly decided to imitate it. After mastering the manufacturing process, they even wanted to take Daohua's trained attendants with them.
Gu Jian was unapologetically dismissive as he began to chase them away, "Wanting to take everything ready-made, why don't you just ascend to heaven?"
Although the two Imperial Physicians were unaware of Gu Jian's identity, seeing Dongli's great respect for him, they did not dare to overstep and could only reluctantly return to Beijing.
Watching the two Imperial Physicians leave, taking with them the small amount of medicine they had produced during their time here, Daohua was left speechless.
Dongli explained, "These two often accompany the military, so they inevitably... try to save a bit."
Daohua: "... It's good, thriftiness is a virtue."

Before one knew it, August had arrived.
