Yi Yun had originally intended to pick a few herbs on his first day. It would be too amazing if he had picked hundreds of herbs on his first day. After all, it would arouse the suspicions and doubts of others if Yi Yun carried on picking so many herbs in the future.
Zhong Yi's record was due to the quality of herbs he picked, not the quantity.
With a keen perception and a certain amount of luck, it was not surprising to pick exquisite herbs. Just by picking a few herbs that were worth a thousand dragon scale runes, one could easily get tens of thousands dragon scale runes.
Hence, it was reasonable to break the record this way.
If he did not use this method and broke the record in terms of quantity by picking ten to twenty times more herbs, then something would be amiss.
Hence, Yi Yun wanted to win according to the quality of herbs he picked, not the quantity. There had to be a gradual process in breaking the record.
