Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 543: Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, Triple Achievement_1

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, Triple Achievement_1

"The Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique has three stages. The first, with the Nine Revolves of Inner Peace Practice perfected, can prolong life by ten years. The second, with the Nine Transforms Active Skill perfected, can extend life by a hundred years more. If both Active Achievement and Silent Achievement combine, youth can be eternally preserved. Once the Golden Core is cultivated and made to undergo its nine revolutions, each revolution can prolong life by a thousand years, and the nine revolutions result in immortality." A glint emerged in Pei Jiang’s eyes.

In the end, he agreed to Wang Linchi’s terms, using his dynasty as collateral.

If I could achieve immortality, the dynasty would mean nothing to me. After all, as long as I live, I can maintain all my power.

"But why is it so difficult to begin this process? The first of the nine revolutions takes at least two or three years, and the second will take two or three decades."

"So, by the time I succeed, at the fastest, I would have spent twenty-two years. By then, I would already be middle-aged."

Pei Jiang was somewhat dissatisfied with this progress. However, despite his dissatisfaction, he had to start cultivation due to the prospect of immortality.

"The first stage requires Refining Self and Storing Sincerity. It is a meditation technique that needs a mind free of distractions." Pei Jiang quickly began the first step of cultivation. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He silently recited the mantra in his mind. However, after an hour, he had achieved no results, which irritated him.

I can’t even achieve the first step of subduing anger, stifling desires, and maintaining perpetual sincerity.

His expression turned grim, mainly because his mind was filled with distracting thoughts and he simply couldn’t calm down.

As soon as he settled down, he couldn’t help thinking about various affairs, power distribution, and so on. For him, it was genuinely challenging.

Unless I give up everything, retire to the mountains, and cultivate my sensibilities for a while... That might help calm my heart completely, and then I could cultivate further.

But this was impossible for him. If he dared to step down now, he would undoubtedly end up dead without a burial place.

His successor would not want him to live, and the newly ascended interest group would also not need him as an obstacle, so he definitely could not retreat.

I need to find a way to solve this problem, or else I’ll be stuck at the first step... The thought that he might not only fail to achieve immortality but also not gain even ten years of life felt like a massive loss to him.

I can only seek external assistance.

Pei Jiang knew that if he couldn’t calm his mind, he would have to resort to other methods to do so.

"Spirit Platform Knowledge Wisdom Calming Spell!"

After searching through his Charm collection, he finally found one that met his needs. This Charm could temporarily enhance his Comprehension and allow him to enter a tranquil state. Of course, tranquility was just a side benefit; the real effect was increased Comprehension.

Generally, this Charm was used to assist in creating advanced Charms. With these two effects, the success rate would be much higher.

However, there was a drawback. The Charm itself was not just any low-level Charm. It was quite difficult to create, and the required materials were expensive.

Why not use a Lower Position Spell Scroll? Pei Jiang felt a pang of regret; the process of making the Charm was intricate, and if large quantities were needed, it would be a considerable drain on resources.

Still, I should use the original version, he thought. While the Lower Position Spell Scroll could be used, it’s only barely functional and definitely can’t compare to the original.

A Lower Position Spell Scroll was a simplified version of a Superior Spell Scroll and was usually meant for practice or as a substitute when one did not have the money to buy a Superior Spell Scroll.

Pei Jiang was not short of money now; his reluctance stemmed mainly from his habits.

"Summon..." Pei Jiang listed a series of names. These were the personnel under his command responsible for logistics. Such matters naturally fell to them; he couldn’t possibly be expected to handle procurement himself.

Someone arrived promptly, but it wasn’t the people he had notified for a meeting. Instead, it was his middle-aged Aide.

"My lord, what is this?" The Aide was slightly puzzled. He felt that Pei Jiang had changed quite a bit in these recent days, showing much laxity towards administrative affairs.

He had not heard about the deal between Wang Linchi and Pei Jiang, where the nation’s fate was pledged in return for the threefold Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

Wang Linchi had undoubtedly employed some measures; if this matter were to be exposed, Pei Jiang would certainly face trouble.

"I have been unable to meditate lately, so I plan to craft several Spirit Platform Knowledge Wisdom Calming Spells for use," Pei Jiang said casually.

The middle-aged man was somewhat suspicious, but he didn’t say much and began to report the situation.

"In at most three months, all lands under heaven will be pacified. My lord, have you decided whether you will ascend the throne in the Capital, or go to Mount Tai to perform the canonization ritual and pray for divine blessings of peace concurrently?" The middle-aged man hadn’t heard about the Inner Alchemy Technique, but he had heard about the Holy Emperor’s demise, hence his suggestion for Pei Jiang to go to Mount Tai.

Anyway, offering incense and blessings to something that’s as dead as can be isn’t a big deal at all. It’s just like posthumously conferring a title on the dead; it surely doesn’t matter.

They had also investigated. The Temple Master of Dai Temple originally possessed Divine Arts, but one day they vanished. That day was when they broke into the Capital, indicating that the Holy Emperor had indeed fallen and there had been no sign of him to this day.

"Alright, what’s the timeline?" Pei Jiang did not refuse; for him, this was something that ought to be done.

"How about the twenty-eighth of the third month? It coincides with the Holy Emperor’s birthday and can be celebrated together." The middle-aged man already had a plan; this way, Pei Jiang would be directly recognized as the legitimate successor.

"The date is fine, but there is a problem: there is no one in Dai Temple now. We are maintaining it," Pei Jiang mentioned.

Because of the strict personnel system for Dai Temple that Wang Linchi had issued, none of the staff, from the lowest-ranked Servants to the highest-ranked Temple Master, passed the assessment, and all were eventually eliminated.

Fortunately, Pei Jiang, considering their many years of toil even if without great merit, had made proper arrangements for all these people.

So now, they couldn’t even find a Temple Master to preside over this event.

As for finding the eliminated Temple Masters, that was impossible. They had no Experience presiding over the Holy Emperor’s birthday. Each year, the birthday celebration merely consisted of providing slightly better fruits and offerings for the Holy Emperor’s statue; they couldn’t even afford the three types of sacrificial animals, and so the ceremony was conducted perfunctorily.

"Let the Ministry of Rites prepare for it. We shall use the imperial system of the Heng Dynasty. This can also serve to declare the abolition of the title of Lord of Mount Tai and restore the honored position of the Holy Emperor." The middle-aged man was not at all reserved in his suggestion. As long as it doesn’t involve gathering faith to become gods or threatening imperial rule, these things are truly trivial gains for us.

"Can the people from the Ministry of Rites handle it?" Pei Jiang was a bit skeptical about the Ministry of Rites. It wasn’t because these people weren’t his own, but because they were all youngsters who lacked sufficient Experience and were prone to messing things up.

"Yes, or else we have no one else to turn to," the middle-aged man chimed in, speaking honestly.

In the end, Pei Jiang could only agree. "This task is entrusted to you; remember, there must be no carelessness."

The ascension to the throne is a momentous occasion. No mistakes can be tolerated, or it will be seen as an ill omen. Besides, it involves matters like the canonization and the Holy Emperor’s birthday. This entire affair symbolizes that I have not only seized imperial power but also religious authority. Any error could trigger a chain reaction, leading to future turmoil.

"Yes, my lord!" The middle-aged man replied. He wanted to say something more, but seeing an attendant report that the individuals Pei Jiang had summoned earlier were now arriving for their audience, he refrained from speaking further and took his leave.

「...」

This youngster is indeed smart; he must have figured a few things out, Wang Linchi thought, naturally referring to the middle-aged Aide. The Aide had astutely sensed Pei Jiang’s predicament but hadn’t exposed it. The saying ’accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger’ isn’t false. It’s good he has the sense to realize that if things were laid bare, he would inevitably suffer as well.

But speaking of which, this idea of theirs to restore my reputation is rather incredible.

Wang Linchi was also quite curious about how Pei Jiang would proceed.

After his ascension, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique will certainly not be easy, especially the Silent Achievement, which requires tranquility and inaction. His best option will probably be to ignore state affairs. Otherwise, how could he find peace with various trivial matters constantly bothering him? He wouldn’t be able to quiet his mind even if he wanted to.

For now, he can still use the Spirit Platform Knowledge Wisdom Calming Spell. However, due to the Calamity of the Last Law, the success rate of crafting this advanced Charm has plummeted to only about one percent. After a while longer, it will likely become impossible to craft altogether.

The crafting and use of Lower Position Spell Scrolls, on the other hand, aren’t affected. It’s just that their efficacy is far too poor; they can’t effectively calm the mind at all.

It’s not that I deliberately tricked him. This Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, although derived from my Nine Revolutions Golden Core, is an entirely new cultivation method in itself. Naturally, there are differences. I wouldn’t actually pass off a defective product as a good one. At most, this version is just incomplete.
