Xin Ling's Medicine Gathering Skill was clearly superior to Song Jian's. Even when harvesting Red Sword Grass barehanded, the quality of her harvest was much higher than the grass Song Jian gathered using the Purple Bamboo Spade.

But not a single stalk of perfect quality Red Sword Grass had been gathered by her yet!
