Within six hours of hard work, Davis completely recorded the millions of books kept neatly in order within the Imperial Library's first level. He felt as if there was a heavy feeling present on his mind, but it was just his fatigue.
His capacity to collect information and store it within his mind could not compare to an ordinary human being, not in the realm of being comparable in the first place as his cognition level was way higher. What a mortal would need a hundred years to finish even reading, he could do that within a single day and store it within his memory, and that also included the fact about experiencing fatigue.
The fatigue that he felt was more than what a mortal would feel with hundred years of constant learning, but his Soul Forging Cultivation let him withstand such powerful exhaustion, almost letting him play G.o.d in mortal's terms.
That said, the information he collected was quite a haul! There were books on thousands of various topics and concepts.
Fighting Methods, Energy Circulation Methods, Law Comprehension with Martial Energy, Efficient Usage of Soul Force, History of the Ethren Empire, Cla.s.sification of Pills, General Cla.s.sification of Cultivation Foundations, Partial History of the Alstreim Family, Topography of the Nine Eastern Territories, Powers in the Alstreim Family Territory, Powers in the Tripart.i.te Alliance Territory, Record of Unverified Immortals, and many more.
Then it took him two hours to record the information on the second level. This level possessed books that were much more difficult to destroy. They were made up of magical beast skins that were above Sixth Stage, Saint Beast Stage, and Seventh Stage, the Lord Beast Stage.
There were books on Cla.s.sification of Armaments, Ranking of Spirit Attribute Sources, Medicinal Herbs Compendium, Records of Poisons, Myriad Heavenly Resources, Magical Beast Compendium, A Guide to Spirit Races and many other books that would greatly increase his knowledge!
And it took him a mere ten minutes to record the information in the third level. There was a lesser amount of information, but they were all kept within some kind of thin rectangular stone called jade slips!
Unlike the formation he encountered in the Treasury of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, this object that is known as jade slip actually contained information within them, and different from books, one is able to copy information from one jade slip to another easily.
When a person accessed them with soul force, they would be able to easily go through the information. However, there was a limitation. A jade slip is only able to store information once, and it cannot be changed, added, or overwritten, so people prefer to store information on jade slips instead of books.
However, jade slips were rare! They were produced from a special material that is able to store one's current memories when interacted. The rarity of that special material is widely known. Hence, only a few pieces of information that were greatly important, and not to have been tampered with were kept within the jade slips.
The book on how to measure talent by Unislyn Ethren was also recorded in a jade slip. It could be seen that his achievements were acknowledged and stored within the jade slip for future generations.
In any case, Davis was essentially satisfied with the amount of information he had gained. The Imperial Library was practically a treasure trove of rare information!
This was why he requested Alexi Ethren to become the Emperor, so he could easily take their ten thousand years of hard work and information collection into his mind without breaking a sweat!
Davis felt that he could use his Solitary Soul Avatar in the future to digest these millions of information while he could freely traverse, but the matter of having to find Ellia and Princess s.h.i.+rley left him reluctant to burden the avatar.
Right now, his Solitary Soul Avatar is currently engaged in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, paving the way for his comprehension level to reach High-Level Supreme Soul Stage.
With the fact that he had just entered the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, his comprehension through the Solitary Soul Avatar, which is incessantly connected with the mysteries of heaven and earth energy without the fleshly body obstructing it and combined with Old Man Garvin's old teachings, it provided him twice the results with the normal effort!
As for the Solitary Soul Avatar's previous task, it was already completed. Davis has already become a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist!
At that time, he sent Evelynn on an errand, making her purchase a Peak-Level King Grade Cauldron, the Roaring Turtle Dragon Cauldron, for the price of 100,000 High-Level Spirit Stones! It was the best he could find in the Thousand Pill Palace Branch!
There was not a single Emperor Grade Cauldron, and it seems like if he wanted something like that, he would have to visit the Thousand Pill Palace in its Territory. However, he had no need for that since he had just entered the level of a King Grade Alchemist.
Davis also made her buy a few king grade ingredients for the concoction. She bought it from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch, but at that time, the Grand Elder made things difficult for her since she possessed Alchemist Davis's Alchemist Token Plate.
Alchemist Davis became well known since he was the face of the Conferred Queen. Almost every knowledgeable person in Ethren City knew that Alchemist Davis is the Conferred Queen's most used subordinate.
Davis knew that the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch was making things difficult for Evelynn due to the humiliation he received because of the Conferred Queen's Protector in the third level when he was unable to enslave Algos Yantra.
At that point, Davis almost spelled death for the Grand Elder as he kept an eye on Evelynn with his avatar because of the city's muddy waters, but perhaps the Grand Elder sensed a vague amount of killing intent from the shadows, he no longer made things difficult for Evelynn.
Evelynn returned and happily told him that her errand was smooth sailing in front of his avatar's face like she had done something worthy of praise. He just smiled and nodded his head before returning to concocting a normal Low-Level King Grade Healing Pill.
The amount of High-Level Spirit Stones he possessed also lessened from 426,345 High-Level Spirit Stones to 320,000 High-Level Spirit Stones from purchasing the cauldron and the king grade ingredients.
When this all happened, he went to pick up Nadia, during the time he broke through to the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage in a cultivation cave he excavated and secluded himself for a week.
Davis came out of the third level of the Imperial Library and sighed with a little bit of exhaustion. He expended thirty percent of his soul force in memorizing all this information, and he safely kept it within the confines of his memories.
If he was perhaps in the Mature Soul Stage, then he would have perhaps utterly spent his soul force.
He could recall this recorded knowledge and learn it anytime he wanted to unless he received brain damage that makes him lose his memories, but in any case, it is said that the seven physical souls held the copy of one's memories of their current lifetime, so he could always stimulate it using certain yang elements and remember it back.
Of course, he only derived this as a theory based upon Fallen Heaven's knowledge in soul essences, so he wasn't sure if this method would truly work.
