Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 567 - 367: Xuan Dan Secret Method, Complete inheritance of Dan Art_1

"The first turn of Silent Achievement is complete..." Zhang Dao's expression was full of frustration. He had presumed it would take at most three days, but unexpectedly, a whole year had passed before he successfully initiated it and cultivated the first turn.

The difficulty is so immense, no wonder the required resources are so few... this... Zhang Dao hesitated. In theory, he should have achieved Golden Core Nine Revolutions Great Achievement in this simulation, but his progress was far too slow.

It took a full year just to get started, and this was with him cultivating using the perfectly compatible Heavenly Talisman Body. This was the result?

If he truly cultivated until achieving Golden Core Nine Revolutions Great Achievement, then his entire plan would be unnecessary. His Heroic Spirit would then be incapable of reaching Unparalleled Quality, which, for him, was a disaster.

He could still distinguish his priorities. With the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique in hand, he could cultivate it slowly later. But if his Heroic Spirit couldn't reach Unparalleled Quality, his future path would become increasingly difficult.

However, he had no intention of abandoning the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique. Instead, he planned to treat it as a secondary objective, not the primary one.

Therefore, his next step was to leave this place.

As for Wang Linchi, Zhang Dao honestly felt the other man was holding him back. Lacking significant abilities, Wang Linchi could only help him with minor tasks. He decided he could quietly leave once Wang Linchi was fast asleep at night.

Although Wang Linchi was kind to him now, Zhang Dao still considered him a snob. If Wang Linchi had treated him this way in previous simulations, he wouldn't be planning to leave unannounced.

Wang Linchi walked in and asked, "How is it? Have you initiated it yet?"

Zhang Dao shook his head. "No. How could I have initiated the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, an unparalleled divine skill, so easily?"

Naturally, I can't reveal my true situation, he thought. I'm about to leave anyway, so why say anything? Better to keep it as a hidden card.

Wang Linchi feigned puzzlement. "That shouldn't be. Logically, you should have initiated it in three to five days. It's actually late for me to be asking now." He finally sighed. "It seems that while you have the aptitude to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, you lack it for the Xuan Dan Secret Method. Today is the last day. What a shame."

"Huh?" Zhang Dao's expression turned a little unsightly. How did he suddenly bring up a Xuan Dan Secret Technique? And today is the last day? Why didn't he say so earlier?

"Consider this a test," Wang Linchi continued. "Those who initiate it within a year possess the necessary aptitude. If not, then even if I gave you the Xuan Dan Secret Technique, you wouldn't be able to master it."

"And don't even think about just 'trying it out'—this is a lesson paid for in blood by our predecessors. Many scorned it, only to have reality slap them hard in the face," Wang Linchi said, his expression full of regret.

Zhang Dao felt Wang Linchi was deliberately trying to trap him. He knew Zhang Dao liked to hide his true abilities, and now he comes out with this line?

He now wanted to say that he had, in fact, already initiated it, but he was too embarrassed. If he said so, wouldn't it make it seem like he had ulterior motives? Accomplishing the initiation wasn't a major event, so why hide even that?

Zhang Dao asked, "Is the deadline right now?"

"Not quite. The deadline is by Hai hour tonight, so you still have a chance," Wang Linchi said with a grin.

"Good, I will give it one last shot!" Hearing this, Zhang Dao breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he still had a chance.

"I don't think there's much of a chance left. If you were going to initiate it, you would have done so already. There'd be no need to wait until now," Wang Linchi said, his tone tinged with regret.

Zhang Dao's face darkened. What kind of talk was that? If Wang Linchi hadn't deliberately dug this pit for him, would he have claimed he hadn't initiated it yet?

"Sir, I still want to give it another try. After all, this is an opportunity," Zhang Dao said, suppressing his anger. You say it won't work, and that's final? Isn't that a bit too unreasonable?

"Very well, you're certainly persistent," Wang Linchi said, shaking his head with an expression that clearly meant 'You're just being stubborn.' He then stood up and left.

Only then did Zhang Dao's expression soften slightly.

Xuan Dan Secret Method... Zhang Dao muttered under his breath after the man left.

Does he have other secret arts or techniques compatible with the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique? A thought emerged in Zhang Dao's mind.

From Wang Linchi's behavior, it seemed he didn't intend to give him everything at once. Instead, he would only impart more after Zhang Dao reached a certain level within a set time limit. This wasn't good. It would completely bog him down. At this rate, he'd spend his entire life cultivating here, and all his plans would be ruined. As for Immortality? Given this level of difficulty, he wasn't confident he could cultivate to that stage. Besides, this simulated period was about to end, and he would be forcibly returned. Therefore, reaching the Great Success stage of this divine skill before leaving the mountain was impossible; he simply didn't have that much time.

Kill Wang Linchi and seize his treasures? This thought surfaced as a potential solution.

He hesitated, though. While his impression of 'Wang Linyuan' wasn't favorable, his feelings hadn't reached the point of wanting to kill him. To actually commit murder and robbery... he truly felt he couldn't bring himself to do it. But if he didn't, he'd be stuck here. Besides, he still had prior commitments to honor.

After wrestling with his dilemma, he finally found a compromise: peeking.

His requirements weren't high: just memorize all the secret arts and techniques related to the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique and the Heavenly Talisman Body. He didn't need to take the original materials. The problem was, he didn't know where Wang Linchi kept them. He'd carried Wang Linchi's satchel before and even peeked inside, but there were no books or scrolls. This suggested Wang Linchi either kept them on his person or hidden in a secret compartment within his satchel. Trying to find them would inevitably create some disturbance, likely waking Wang Linchi. As for asking Wang Linchi directly, he didn't think it was a viable option. Wang Linchi might give them to him, but Zhang Dao didn't want to ask; he'd feel indebted. Besides, there was no guarantee Wang Linchi would agree.

Then I'll just have to take matters into my own hands! Zhang Dao resolved.

He mentally calculated the time, his expression growing increasingly grim. I've wasted far too much time here. This would make many future opportunities uncertain. If he missed them, his Growth would be significantly slowed. Fortunately, he had fully developed his Heavenly Talisman Body in this simulation; otherwise, the losses would have been devastating.

However, there was an unexpected boon: the Mana generated by the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique could effectively aid his Way of Talisman, especially with the Soaring Drawing Symbol. Both its power and formation speed were greatly enhanced. He could even forcibly draw some intermediate-level talismans that were previously beyond his ability. This was truly a delightful surprise. While others were still fumbling with low-level talismans, he could already use intermediate-level ones. This gave him an overwhelming advantage. He speculated that if he cultivated to Golden Core Nine Revolutions Great Achievement, he might even be able to use high-level talismans. As expected of an unparalleled quality Cultivation Technique! It could even ignore the restrictions of the End of the Dharma Era. The obvious drawbacks were its cultivation difficulty and high aptitude requirements. However, it also fit the conditions of the End of the Dharma Era: minimal reliance on resources, making it perfect for someone like him, starting from the bottom. Coupled with its numerous secret arts and techniques, it formed a complete inheritance.

...

He's decided to take matters into his own hands already? Wang Linchi's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Zhang Dao to be so decisive. Looks like keeping him here has pushed him to his limit. His main goal is still to make a name for himself. He'd never be content spending his entire life with me in these deep mountains and old forests. But this fellow is truly unscrupulous. Apart from the dissections, I don't think I've mistreated him, have I? So why is he thinking of resorting to theft?

Wang Linchi grumbled internally. Even though he'd erased Zhang Dao's memories of the dissections, theoretically, the boy shouldn't recall what he'd done. If he did remember, he would have turned hostile long ago, not waited until now. He would have left immediately after obtaining the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique back then. Why would he have stayed here cultivating until he achieved initiation?

Then again, these are all just nested doll techniques, and he still hasn't seen through it. Sigh... Wang Linchi was quite adept at creating such 'nested doll' arrangements for Skills. These were some minor tricks he'd picked up when developing the Soul Seed Boiling Series, and now he had applied them to the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique as well.

And it had to be said, the effects were quite good. Although they were 'nested dolls,' successfully cultivating the whole set would allow their effects to stack further, so there was no concern about them being useless.

Probably for this reason, most people failed to recognize the nested nature of these techniques, allowing Wang Linchi to easily fool them. After all, for most people, as long as a technique worked, that was good enough.
