The Supreme One
Chapter 38 The difficult library study begins
Xia Xian had read a lot of books in a day and had a general idea of the original owners of these books.
The only exceptions are the monks. Judging from the few words in the books, it seems that they will not live long. Xia Xian also roughly guessed that these books were collected from the monks after their death.
But Xia Xian was not sure whether the books and notes they wrote would be collected only after their death, or in other ways.
Now I have only read a large number of books on one platform. As for the few books I had read before I was troubled by the library owner, they cannot prove anything.
Beyond that, there are no further similarities.
So on the way home, based on the books he had read, Xia Xian gradually came up with ideas on how to organize these books.
The next day, as usual, after quickly completing a day of practice and checking in, Xia Xian came to the library and started today's study.
Although the scope of this entire platform is not the largest among all platforms, its area of tens of thousands square meters is not small.
Although there were many books piled on it, the platform was not full, and even if they were piled up in a messy manner, they were not very high.
So with Xia Xian's fast reading speed, he could roughly understand the content of each book by just flipping through it.
Xia Xian had finished reading one corner of it yesterday, and the first thing he did today was to continue reading the book.
It was not until night fell that Xia Xian lay on the wooden floor, looking uncomfortable.
However, he didn't know that the owner of the library in the room above him, watching him randomly reading books all day, and then seeing him fall down in such a bad way, shook his head in disgust:
"Humph, you are indeed an ignorant waste. You can't pretend anymore after just one day? Then just go back to that crappy school as soon as possible!"
After cursing a few words, he stopped paying attention to Xia Xian's actions below. Only reading could bring peace to his mind.
Xia Xian, who was completely unaware that he had left a bad impression on the museum owner, lay down on the ground helplessly.
He read books for a whole day, and every book was memorized in his mind. Even he felt his brain was groggy and the weight was too heavy for his body to bear.
That is the weight of knowledge!
Even though he was lying on the ground now, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he was roughly recalling what he had seen today.
Based on yesterday's ideas, it didn't take long for me to come up with a plan for organizing these books.
Based on the books he had read in the past two days, he had a general idea of all the types of books on this platform.
These books should indeed be the books of deceased monks, and the time of their death should be relatively close to the present.
The identities of these monks are almost all individual monks, or monks in small groups such as small mercenary groups and small hunting teams.
Among them, Xia Xian even saw a monk from Tengu School.
Of course, this origin only means that one embarked on the path of cultivation from Tengu School, rather than being a descendant of the monks of Tengu School.
Although these monasteries train monks, it does not mean that they have to work for the monastery for the rest of their lives.
Of course, you cannot choose to leave once you embark on the path of cultivation or reach a certain level.
They all need to pay a certain price before they can choose to leave Xiugua and live a relatively freer life.
The stronger you are, the higher the price you have to pay.
Or maybe some mercenary groups or hunting teams have their eyes on certain people and can pay a price to take them away.
Some individual monks can also choose to pay a certain fee and let the monastery train their offspring to a certain level.
So even though most monks are born in various monasteries, in fact many monks are individual monks or members of small groups.
The future development path of these small groups is actually to form various repair halls.
There are two types of shukan: one established by a family like Tengu Shukan, and one established by a group of people or a group.
The books on the platform that Xia Xian is reading now all belong to individual cultivators. Of course, this is only their identity when they finally die.
Some of them died at the end of their lifespan, and the books left behind by such monks are much thicker. After all, as long as they practice formally, they will have a lifespan of at least 500 years. If they hone their skills a little and their bloodline is not particularly bad, they will enter the next spiritual realm and their lifespan will be 1,000 years.
With such a long life, if Xia Xian followed his habit of writing records, this entire platform would be filled up.
But the thickest book Xia Xian had read was only half a meter high, and most of the things in it were written casually, and he had no habit of making special records.
As for the others, they were books that came to an abrupt end, and it was obvious that their owners had met with some accident.
These books record what they have experienced and thought about in their lives, and are naturally related to what they are doing.
So Xia Xian simply classified these monks according to their professions, and naturally most of the knowledge also involved these professions.
In this way, when people read books in the future, they will know what these books are about.
In addition, there are two types of classifications within specific occupations, which are sufficient for organizing these books.
As for some of them who have lived for too long and have worked in several professions, they can be directly sorted into the connected area in the middle.
After sorting out the classification criteria in his mind, Xia Xian stood up again and started to get busy.
First put the books you have read into the designated area. Since there are no bookshelves, just pile them up like this.
After putting away the books I have read in the past two days, it is basically time to go home.
Xia Xian stood on another platform, looking at today's work progress with satisfaction.
Even though most of it is still messy, the edges do show a sense of neatness.
After nodding with satisfaction, Xia Xian simply left the library and trotted towards home.
But before going home, he went to Tengu Xiuguan first, had a big meal to replenish the energy consumed by his brain today, and then returned home.
I got home at this time, had a brief chat with my parents, then washed up and went back to my room. I lay on the bed and recalled and organized the knowledge points from the books I read today.
These books are similar to the books Xia Xian had read before. They seem like a lot, but there are so few actually usable knowledge points that probably add up to less than one percent.
Fortunately, I have already adapted to the situation of books in this world. Before going to bed, I finally organized all the knowledge points in the books I read today in my mind.
When I fell asleep again, I no longer had the dreams caused by the previous stress.
Even though the progress in the library was not smooth, I was finally in, and there was plenty of time to get the knowledge I wanted.
With a relaxed yet cautious attitude, Xia Xian spent every day of this holiday in the library.
It took Xia Xian ten full days to finally complete the first platform.
At the same time, it was also discovered that the books placed on this platform were all books for cultivators in the two earliest stages of cultivation, namely the Spirit Opening Stage and the Spirit Body Stage, after the Body Strengthening Stage.
Naturally, most of the knowledge he acquired was related to these two realms, which allowed him to know the cultivation knowledge of the last two realms in advance.
For Xia Xian today, although it is useful, it is not very useful, so he just put it aside.
In addition to this, there is the relevant knowledge involved in their lives and occupations, which also allowed Xia Xian to gain a lot of understanding of the various spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, spiritual mines, spiritual beasts around Heliu City, as well as the monsters hunted by the hunting teams.
As for the knowledge that Xia Xian needed for the physical strengthening period, of course he did have it, but it was obviously not too much.
They are just fragments of words and lack a system, but for Xia Xian that does not mean they are useless.
After some cultivators formally begin their cultivation after fusing their bloodlines and enhancing their physical strength through spiritual power, they will occasionally recall their previous cultivation during the period of strengthening their bodies.
Such a high-level idea can indeed bring a lot of help to Xia Xian.
During this period, Xia Xian read books and further optimized his physical fitness techniques based on these experiences.
Originally, I could reach the limit by practicing for one and a half hours a day, but now less than an hour is enough.
At the same time, he took some time to retest his physical data and finally came to a conclusion.
His physical limits have definitely improved.
It’s not much, but it has indeed increased. Obviously, it is the benefit of the gift from the city lord last time.
On the last day, the practice time was almost fixed to one hour.
Later, when reading books in the library, he didn't know which books were on each platform anyway, so Xia Xian simply looked for platforms with fewer books. This way, he could look at more platforms and have more luck.
Finally, on the day before school started, he ran into one.
"Oh my god, you have no idea. I have been reading books for a whole month. I felt like my head was going to explode. Finally, I found a book that contains the records of monks in the Strengthening Stage yesterday."
"A cultivator in the physical strengthening stage?" Sheng Wuya looked at Xia Xian in surprise.
It can be seen that Xia Xian's face is full of fatigue, and the scholarly air is even stronger. When he looks at other people normally, although he knows that Xia Xian has no other thoughts, he just glances at him.
But the superiority in IQ and cognition was fully demonstrated.
Maybe Xia Xian didn't feel anything, and even the way he spoke and other habits were no different from usual, but other people around him could feel that there seemed to be an unspeakable gap between themselves and Xia Xian.
The description of him having a slightly bookish air and a sense of superiority in intelligence was something Xia Xian had casually told him before.
Now it seems just right to use it on Xia Xian.
But he looks quite smart, how could he make such a common sense mistake as soon as he opened his mouth?
After hearing Sheng Wuya's questioning words, Xia Xian realized that there was something wrong with his choice of words.
He shook his head, which seemed to have gained several pounds, and said helplessly: "It's easy to say, but it's really embarrassing to be stuck in the strengthening stage. I'm not a cultivator, but I don't seem to be an ordinary person either."
Just like the books written by humans in the physical fitness stage that Xia Xian read yesterday, although their lifespan is also two hundred years, there is no obvious improvement compared to ordinary people, except that their bodies may be stronger when they get older.
And they themselves were somewhat troubled when they got up.
On the one hand, there are people like Xia Xian, who have extremely low talent and, like everyone else, overdraw their training every day. In the end, their limit is reduced too much. Even integrating the blood of ordinary spiritual realm aliens is very dangerous. Naturally, they cannot embark on the path of cultivation.
The blood of a different race cannot be fused by simply drawing some blood.
First of all, you need to reach a certain strength and possess a certain amount of spiritual power.
The lower limit is the spiritual body realm, and if it is the spiritual body realm, it is also necessary to extract the essence and blood from its heart or other cores.
But if your strength is strong enough and your realm is high enough, any little blood will be enough.
Therefore, there is a minimum threshold for blood fusion, otherwise the success rate will be extremely low.
According to Xia Xian's estimation, for a family like theirs with hundreds of generations of mortals, the potential they possess might just be enough to reach this threshold.
But with the current training model, those who have potential but are not strong enough must either risk their lives and try their weakest bloodline, or they can only be mortals in the strengthening stage.
There are actually quite a few people like this in Heliu City.
In the circle of big families like Sheng Wuya and his group, there are not many mortals in the physical strengthening stage.
However, for a family like Xia Xian's, the people they interact with basically are in this kind of circle, so quite a few people know about it.
The books written by these people did have a significant impact on Xia Xian.
They are trapped in the body-strengthening period, and they often conduct in-depth study and research on the body-strengthening techniques of this period. These books basically copy one or two sets of training methods for this period.
Xia Xian also came across a particularly thick book that he was unwilling to accept. It contained fifteen sets of physical fitness techniques, including two unconventional physical fitness techniques that Xia Xian had never seen before.
In addition, there are many unsystematic body-building techniques, that is, body-building techniques that only involve the single links of skin refining and flesh refining.
Even if it is not a system, it can still provide Xia Xian with certain reference value.
Sheng Wuya, who was standing by, also smiled unkindly when listening to Xia Xian's complaints.
"There's nothing I can do. Who told you to follow... this person's path?" Sheng Wuya naturally went home to find out what happened and learned about the discord between the principal and the owner of the museum.
Regarding Sheng Wuya's gloating, Xia Xian could only give him a hammer and said, "What can we do about it? This is the only way to go!"
"That's not necessarily true." Sheng Wuya blinked, as if he was prepared.
"What road? Is there a road to your house? I feel that your house has a way. It's just a library, not a confidential document storage place of Heliu City. Can your Sheng family get in?"
During this period of time, he also thought clearly that the Sheng family had been in Heliu City for a long time, at least much longer than the current owner had been alive.
Xia Xian also learned from a previous conversation with Uncle Desheng that the library had become difficult to enter only since the current generation of the owner, and it was actually fine before that.
The previous owner of the library is actually the master of the current owner. This is basically the case for bookstores in other cities, with the inheritance from master to apprentice.
However, this museum owner is not only the museum owner, but also the child of the city lord. Naturally, his power is much greater.
They even have the right to restrict others from entering and leaving at will!
