The following morning, Xiao Tian accompanied Long Jingxian to meet Ru Guo.
They met at the same place, but they immediately went to Ru Guo’s house because it was not the right place to talk about something important.
Ru Guo’s house was located in a remote area. It wasn’t easy to find her house because her home was hidden between trees.
Yes. Her house was located in the southwest part of Wushang city. It was a place where most of the areas were forest and mountains.
‘What?! This is her house?!’
Ru Guo was pretty famous in the past, so Long Jingxain was shocked when she saw Ru Guo’s house.
Her house was small and made of wood. There was not a single luxurious thing to be found in her house. Like Lian Xun’s house, there were no houses around her house.
Even though Xiao Tian was also startled, he did not show it on his face.
‘Damn! Did we go back to the ancient times?’
Because Ru Guo’s house was like these in ancient times, Xiao Tian suddenly thought they went back to the ancient times.
As Long Jingxian and Ru Guo were talking inside the house, Xiao Tian stood in front of the house and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
To his surprise, Ru Guo and Long Jingxian suddenly came out of the house.
“Xiao Tian, follow us.” Long Jingxian spoke abruptly.
They then went to the deep forest. After walking for about twenty minutes, they finally reached their destination.
‘What are we going to do in the cave?’
Currently, Xiao Tian and the others were standing in front of the cave.
The cave was not big and also challenging to find because it was hidden between the trees.
“Come in.” Ru Guo still did not tell them the reason why she brought them to the cave.
They then entered the cave. Even though Xiao Tian and Long Jingxian wanted to know as to why Ru Guo brought them to the cave, none of them said a word.
They only exchanged a glance with each other as if they were communicating through their eyes.
‘Let’s just follow her for now.’
To their surprise, there was a hidden door inside the cave. Xiao Tian and Long Jingxian did not expect this.
After entering the hidden door, Ru Guo started to light all the oil lamps which were hanging on the walls and the tables. “This is my secret place. All the knowledge I have in my entire life is in this place.”
Xiao Tian saw giant bookshelves full of books on each side of the room.
‘Damn! There are so many book in this place!’
Due to how many the books were, Xiao Tian believed it was more than four hundred books in that room.
Apart from a large bookcase full of books, there were only three wooden chairs and one table in that room.
Ru Guo then looked at Long Jingxian and spoke, “Jingxian, I want you to study all the books here.”
“All right.” Long Jingxian wanted to master all of Ru Guo’s skills, so she accepted it immediately.
“Good! Remember, don’t tell anyone about this place.” After saying that, Ru Guo looked at Xiao Tian. “Young man, I hope you won’t tell about this place to anyone too.”
“All right.” Xiao Tian nodded his head.
As Ru Guo was discussing medicine with Long Jingxian, Xiao Tian stood in front of the bookcase.
‘This is….’
Xiao Tian was surprised when he found a book that could help martial artists strengthen their bodies.
When Ru Guo noticed Xiao Tian holding a book, she immediately spoke, “That book is indeed for martial artist. It can help any martial artist strengthen their bodies faster than normal.”
“Are there any side effects later?” Xiao Tian inquired.
“No.” Ru Guo replied instantly. “That medicine can only help martial artists strengthen their bodies faster than normal, but it would be useless if they only used the medicine without training their bodies. In other words, it all depends on whether you train your body or not.”
“I see.” Xiao Tian nodded his head.
“You are a martial artist, right? It’s easy to use that medicine. You just need to put it in the bath and soak thirty minutes every day for a month.” Ru Guo knew that Xiao Tian was a martial artist. “That medicine can increase your strength faster if you practice martial arts and soak every day.”
Xiao Tian was pleased after hearing her words.
His speed and reflexes were already in the category of the high-level master stage, so he could become a high-level master stage martial artist faster if he used that medicine.
‘This book can help me break through to the high level master stage faster! Lucky!’
His heart was filled with happiness.
He walked towards Ru Guo before speaking, “Can you make this medicine for me? I will accept any conditions from you later.”
“I don’t have the ingredients to make that medicine. And I think it’s better if you ask your lover to make one for you.” Ru Guo knew that Xiao Tian and Long Jingxian were lovers because she could tell everything from their behavior.
Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from Ru Guo to Long Jingxian. “Jingxian, can you make this medicine for me later?”
“All right. I will study it later.” Xiao Tian was her lover, so Long Jingxian would do anything to help him become the richest or strongest person in China.
She did not want to be a useless lover who only used his money, so Long Jingxian would do anything to help him in the future.
“Good!” if Ru Guo were not with them, Xiao Tian would have kissed Long Jingxian earlier.
‘It seems like I will depend on her in the future.’
He added in his mind.
Long Jingxian then shifted her gaze from Xiao Tian to Ru Guo. “Teacher, how did you create that medicine?”
This was the first time she knew of a medicine that could help martial artists.
Sadness flashed across her eyes for a second. “Don’t ask this question.”
‘And I should not create this medicine in the past.’
She added in her mind.
As Long Jingxian and Ru Guo were talking about medicine, Xiao Tian went through the books again, hoping that he would find a book that could help him achieve his goals later.
‘Sigh!’
Xiao Tian sighed because there was no book for martial artists.
All the books were about medicine, poison, and many other things. Sure, it would be useful for him, but he did not understand any of them.
‘Well, Jingxian will study all of these books later, so I don’t need to memorize them.’
Happiness glowed inside him when he remembered that Long Jingxian would study all of these books later.
Because Long Jingxian and Ru Guo were talking seriously, Xiao Tian walked out of the cave. He then sat on the cliff, looking at the forest in front of him.
To his surprise, Ru Guo suddenly appeared behind him not long after that. “What are you doing here?”
Xiao Tian turned his head towards her before answering. “I just want to enjoy the scenery. Why are you here? Where is Jingxian?”
After sitting next to him, Ru Guo replied, “She is studying inside the cave now.”
“I see.” Xiao Tian replied.
“You are lucky, Xiao Tian.” Ru Guo stated. “Your lover is a smart woman, so I’m sure she can master everything later.”
Ru Guo was pleasantly surprised when she found out that Long Jingxian was an intelligent woman. She only explained once, and Long Jingxian could already understand it.
“Of course, because she is my lover!” actually, Xiao Tian had no idea whether Long Jingxian was a clever woman or not.
All he knew was she was a doctor who loved her daughter dearly. Xiao Tian also never cared whether Long Jingxian was a smart lady or not because the most important thing was that they love each other.
“How long have you two been together?” Ru Guo asked curiously.
“Only a few days.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.
“Ah!” Ru Guo thought Xiao Tian and Long Jingxian had been together for a long time. “I hope you two will be together forever.”
“That’s what I want too.” Xiao Tian replied.
As Xiao Tian was looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ru Guo suddenly did something unexpected to him.
