#513 - Seven Days
Two hours later, Ah Hua lay flat on the ground, feeling like his entire monkey body had been hollowed out, leaving nothing behind.

However, all of this was worth it, because the man opposite him had finally stopped his movements.
In this contest of perseverance and physical strength, it was ultimately Ah Hua who had the last laugh.
Although Ah Hua was now so tired that he didn't want to move even a little finger, winning was winning.
Ah Hua's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
Then, he struggled to prop himself up, only to see Lu Jing indeed starting to manipulate the array disk again, which directly stunned Ah Hua.
Lu Jing was quite busy this day, first having a great battle with Han Shan Ke, then planting ginseng, and now practicing the Beast Taming Array with Ah Hua.
Even with his secret power cultivation, he was starting to feel overwhelmed, so he had indeed been a little short on secret power before.
But now, as the secret power in his Niwan Palace was refreshed again, Lu Jing became energetic again, so he planned to persevere and strive to master the Beast Taming Array as soon as possible.
Only, Ah Hua, the golden training partner who had always been hardworking and dutiful, suddenly quit and refused to continue.
Seeing that Lu Jing still wanted more, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and with his last bit of strength, he burrowed into the ground and escaped using earth遁.
Lu Jing was speechless at the sight, but he didn't chase after him. He could see that Ah Hua had been squeezed dry, and even if he caught him back and forced him to continue training, it wouldn't have any effect.
So Lu Jing simply let him go. Then he put away the formation materials and the array disk, went back to his residence to catch up on sleep, and replenished the lush ginseng field.
Seeing that it was almost the appointed time, Lu Jing hurriedly ate something and rushed to the library again.
Yang Tao and Xia Huai had already arrived before him, while Wen Xiaoqian was, unsurprisingly, nowhere to be seen. Lu Jing guessed that she was probably still sleeping, or had woken up, but had gone back to sleep.
Anyway, usually at this time, this guy was still in bed and hadn't gotten up.
After waiting for a while, Yan Yun also arrived as scheduled.
At this time, there were not too many people in the library. Besides Lu Jing and his group of four, there were only a few academy disciples and one instructor, all staying on the first floor.
Xuan Ji cleared her throat and said apologetically to them, "Dear teachers and students, from today onwards, the library will be closed for seven days. If you have any books you want to borrow, please borrow them as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the few new students borrowed books and prepared to leave, and no one said anything extra, because when Yu Qiuren was still around, the library would occasionally be closed for a period of time, such as when Guo Shaojian came to check the classics.
Of course, this time, the closure would last for seven days, which was longer than ever before, but no one thought too much about it in other directions.
However, the instructor on the side was not so easily fooled. He frowned and said, "I wonder why the library is closed?"
Xuan Ji's expression remained unchanged, "Although the original placement of books in the library was classified, it was mostly relatively simple, just randomly stacking similar books on a certain floor.
"Of course, because of the existence of [Gui Zi Sixty-Six], if you know what book you are looking for, just silently recite the name in your heart, and the book will naturally fly into your hand, so it doesn't matter where it is placed.
"But if you only have a general range and don't know the specific title of the book, it will be very difficult to find."
Xuan Ji paused, "I also saw that Guo Shaojian spent a lot of time looking for books in the library last time, so I wanted to reorganize and reclassify the books in the building, and add some subcategories, so that it would be easier for future generations to find them.
"I have already reported this matter to Supervisor Su, and he has also agreed. Well, but because there are too many books in the building, it is estimated that the time spent on sorting them out will be very long, which is causing trouble for everyone."
"Where, Miss Xuan Ji's move is very good. Although it may take some time now and may bring some inconvenience to us, if this matter can be accomplished, it can save a lot of time for those who come to find books later."
The instructor stroked his beard and said with a smile. After speaking, he handed the book in his hand to Xuan Ji for registration, and then walked out quickly like those disciples.
At this point, only Lu Jing, Yan Yun, Xia Huai, Yang Tao, and Xuan Ji remained in the library.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Lu Jing then opened his mouth and said, "Miss Xuan Ji, you have thought carefully. In this way, no one will suspect what we are doing behind closed doors."
But Xuan Ji was not so optimistic, "Seven days is still too short. I originally requested to close the building for a month, but I was rejected by the supervisor, who said that the library cannot be closed for such a long time at once. It is better to divide it into several periods of time, and the maximum closure time each time cannot exceed seven days, and the interval between two closures cannot be less than twenty days."
Lu Jing had not been in contact with that strange object before, so it was difficult to judge whether seven days was enough, but he knew that this was the longest time Xuan Ji could get for them.
So Lu Jing didn't waste any more words, called Gu Jing, brought a message to Chen Hanqing, asking him to help take care of the ginseng field, and then rolled up his sleeves and started moving books out of the building with Yan Yun and the others.
After a while, seeing that the sun was high, Wen Xiaoqian finally came to help, and the five of them worked together to move the library's collection of books out of the building.
Xuan Ji relied on her ability to remember everything she saw to pick out the books that could be left behind.
By sunset, the collection of more than 300,000 books had finally been reduced to only 10,000, or more precisely, 9,998.
Xuan Ji took out the book she had just written last night and placed it on the bookshelf.
This book tells the story of a palm searching for its owner, and finally reuniting with its owner successfully, while Lu Jing, on the other side, went to the second floor alone halfway through moving the books, found a room, and started writing.
According to Xuan Ji, it was not so simple to get [Gui Zi Sixty-Six] to recognize a book as something that could be materialized. Anyway, Lu Jing's previous idea of a college entrance examination essay was not going to work.
The entire book had to be at least 5,000 words long, and the story couldn't be too perfunctory, it had to be self-consistent.
Fortunately, Lu Jing managed to squeeze this thing out after holding it in for almost two hours, but unlike Xuan Ji, he didn't show the book he wrote to anyone except himself.
