Seeing so many medicines, Hua Ruge was surprised, the scale that he had previously seen at the auction was only a tenth of what it was now.
Other than that, there was only a gigantic pill furnace in the center of the hall. Behind the pill furnace, there was a seated Gu Mo dressed in a black robe sitting on top of the pill furnace.
Hua Ruge entered and bowed respectfully: "Disciple greets Master."
"There are only two people here, master and disciple. There is no need to be so polite." As Gu Mo said this, he slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Do the people from the Law Enforcement Hall trouble you?"
Previously, when he looked at the others with indifference, he actually felt a little warmth in his eyes when he looked at Hua Ruge, as if he was comforted by the comfort of an old man.
Hua Ruge could clearly feel this kindness, and laughed: "With Master's jade pendant, they might not even make it in time, who would dare to make things difficult for disciple."
Gu Mo nodded, as he had expected this would happen.
Hua Ruge stood there silently.
"Do you know why I chose you?" Gu Mo was the first to speak.
"Is it because disciple's medicinal pill's quality is higher?" Hua Ruge said uncertainly.
"That's one reason, but if that's all you have to say, it won't enter my eyes." Gu Mo paused for a moment before continuing, "Element Body, Terminator Flame, this little girl is a person with a great fortune."
Hearing that, Hua Ruge's eyes revealed a little surprise, because her Destructive Flame had never been publicly announced before, she never thought that the first one's insight would be so strong.
"Only someone like you is qualified to inherit my Danyang Peak, but you are still lacking too much." Gu Mo continued to explain.
Hua Ruge humbly said, "Master, please teach me."
"Your cultivation is too shallow. You need to become stronger in order to have the ability to refine medicinal pills."
"Yes."
"Also, although I don't know how you became a pill refiner at such a young age, but one thing I'm sure of is that your knowledge of herbs is lacking, right?"
"Yes." Hua Ruge continued to nod his head.
She was a doctor in her previous life, but all she knew were the herbs at that time. When she came here, she knew a lot about them, even if she had read a lot for the sake of Tuoba Rui's illness, she would still eat them whole.
When she was refining pills, she would only use the pill formulas left behind by the original owner's mother. As long as she did not make any mistakes, she would be able to form a pill.
"From today onwards, you only need to do two things: cultivate and approve it." Gu Mo said.
After Hua Ruge nodded his head, he said: "Beside us is the library, the books have all recorded the medicinal properties and uses of the medicinal herbs, in the backyard there is a medicinal garden, all the medicinal herbs that you can use to study."
Hua Ruge felt that all of these were very reasonable, and hurriedly nodded. "Thank you Master, this disciple will definitely work hard."
"En, go ahead. If you don't know anything, you can come and seek guidance from me." Gu Mo said his last sentence and closed his eyes.
Hua Ruge replied and walked out.
The door of the hall closed automatically, and Hua Ruge stood outside.
She walked around and discovered that there was indeed a library next to the pill room. She pushed open the door and entered. With just a glance, she was shocked.
The interior of the library was extremely large, with only places for people to leave. The others were all tall bookshelves. She roughly estimated that even if there weren't ten thousand books, there were at least eight thousand.
She silently cursed. Even if she had read so many books, it would still have taken her a long time. Furthermore, it was just a book to record herbs and medicinal properties. Furthermore, she had to memorize them.
This is not life threatening.
Just thinking about it made Hua Ruge dizzy, he stretched his hands out to rub his temples.
Her mental strength was much stronger than an ordinary person's, and her memory and brain capacity were naturally greater as well. However, she definitely wouldn't be able to finish any of the books that she had memorized in a year or so.
Moreover, medicinal properties were ever-changing. It wasn't something that could be memorized just by memorizing it. It required practice before one could understand it fully. This way, even three to five years might not be enough for one to master it.
Now, she finally understood why alchemists were so old. This wasn't something an ordinary person could learn.
However, by learning these things, she would become more proficient in the dao of alchemy and might be able to think of a way to save Tuoba Rui.
As Hua Ruge thought about this, the corner of his lips curled up slightly. He casually picked up a book and sat down.
However, when she flipped open the book, she found that it was not as difficult as she had imagined. After all, her mental strength was eight times that of an ordinary person.
The roof of the library was decorated with Night Pearls, making it seem as if it was daytime even at night. Hua Ruge leaned on the bookshelf, carrying the book on his back, and quickly entered into a state of oblivion.
In the morning, when she felt a little tired, she put down the book and sat down to cultivate to recover her spirit.
Because the spiritual energy on the mountain was plentiful, she could feel her strength rising after meditating for an entire morning. She exhaled as she continued reciting while opening her eyes in a refreshed manner.
Just like this, she continued cultivating after she recovered her strength. With the help of pills and a stomach of a pill, she was able to remain in her original state for half a month without going out for the rest of the time.
This was because when it felt the dense spirit energy, it immediately refused to enter the spirit beast space and absolutely had to lie down on Hua Ruge's legs.
If one looked carefully, they would be able to see that the Devouring Beast's breathing was also filled with spirit energy.
Hua Ruge only realized that it was actually cultivating after it had been lying on her leg for more than ten days. She asked how it had done it.
Not only did the Devouring Beast not say anything, every time it heard Hua Ruge's question, it would give her a look as if it knew something.
Hua Ruge wanted to throw it out.
The Devouring Beast continued to lie down comfortably, as if it did not feel its master's anger at all.
There was no time left in the mountain, so Hua Ruge just continued to read and cultivate. After adapting to this rhythm, she felt that her life could be considered quite peaceful.
When she wanted to go out for a walk, she was startled by the cold wind when she opened the door. She looked up the mountain and saw that because of the dense spirit energy, the trees were still green, but there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground.
"It's snowing?" Hua Ruge acted as if he was in a dream, and then he began to plan.

It was already late autumn when she first entered the library. Apparently, it was already winter by now. She had taken three pills to quell her hunger, and one pill could last her ten days of hunger. This also meant that she had spent an entire month in the library.
