Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 391: Spring Festival Benefits

“Sir, what’s the upper limit of the Cultivation method you gave me?” Qing Yi asked this question for the first time.

“B-Class,” Qing Chen responded from his office.

“Really? I can actually cultivate to B-Class?” Qing Yi seemed surprised.

Qing Chen was taken aback. He thought Qing Yi would be a little disappointed, after all, there are still A-Class and Demi-God levels above B-Class.

But he quickly realized that this might also be due to the Outer World’s insufficient understanding of the strength levels.

Outer World Time Travelers, looking up to the Demi-God level, naturally aspire to the highest peak. After all, when setting their dreams, everyone wants to be the best.

But people from the Inner World are different. They know how rare A-Class and Demi-God experts are, so they think B-Class is already very powerful.

At this time, Qing Chen was thinking, for the Zhunti Method, the first three Breathing Techniques can reach B-Class, so does that mean the fourth Breathing Technique can allow cultivators to reach A-Class?

However, cultivators of the Zhunti Method should also need to pass the Trial of Heart when practicing the fourth Breathing Technique.

Perhaps what those Buddhist cultivators say, that Cultivation requires cultivating the mind and being careful of the invasion of demons, and only those with a clear mind can become Buddhas, is because they have to pass this Trial of Heart.

However, with the Zhunti Method, the Trial of Heart comes after reaching B-Class, while with the Knight path, it's from the beginning.

Therefore, the Knight path has a higher ceiling.

Qing Yi happily entered a meditative state, but after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qing Chen behind the desk.

“What’s wrong?” Qing Chen raised an eyebrow.

Qing Yi said, “Sir, can’t I receive empowerment at this stage of Cultivation?”

Qing Chen smiled helplessly, “You can. Cultivate first, and I’ll give you empowerment later.”

He didn’t expect Qing Yi to take the initiative to ask. At Autumn Leaf Manor, the other party was always hesitant and dared not speak, even when he gave empowerment to others, this child would only look at him with grievance.

Sometimes, most people are polite to strangers, but they are impolite to friends and family.

This shows that Qing Yi has become very close to Qing Chen.

Here, Qing Yi guided his meridians while cultivating in meditation, silently waiting. Only when a warm hand suddenly covered his head did he finally focus entirely on Cultivation.

Qing Chen and Nangeng Chen had tried before. Once the Zhunti Method completes the Greater Heavenly Cycle, it can no longer receive empowerment from someone who has also completed the Greater Heavenly Cycle.

But Qing Chen still can.

In other words, when all cultivators practicing the Zhunti Method reach E-Class, they begin to truly compete in cultivation talent, and everyone's cultivation speed will gradually slow down.

Only those who have mastered the fourth Breathing Technique can continue to give empowerment to those who have completed the Greater Heavenly Cycle.

Qing Chen is only two legs away from having Knight True Qi infused throughout his body. Judging by his current Knight True Qi, even after the infusion, Qing Yi may not be able to absorb it all.

He can only absorb about one-tenth.

So he will probably have to give empowerment non-stop for twelve days to help him reach D-Class.

How many days it will take from D-Class to C-Class, and from C-Class to B-Class, he can’t test yet.

Twelve days is actually very fast. If Qing Yi cultivated on his own, he’s currently E-Class, and it would probably take a year to reach D-Class.

This means that the upper limit of the Zhunti Method group should be around E-Class and D-Class.

Qing Chen can’t possibly spend all his time giving empowerment.

Actually, the path Luo Wanya takes is the most suitable for the ‘Zhunti Method.’ Although the Home Families’ levels aren’t high, there are many Home Families!

If there are tens of thousands of D-Class Home Families, wouldn’t they beat the Mechanical God Sect to a pulp?

Luo Wanya probably also knows that what the Home Families need most now is to lie low and bide their time, which is why they hide and never confront the Mechanical God Sect head-on.

The next moment, Qing Hua walked in from outside. When he saw Qing Yi, he was stunned: “Boss, is this person cultivating?”

He thought to himself, his own Boss openly supporting a certain Shadow Candidate. Does the Shadow Master know about this?

Then Qing Chen asked him, “Do you want to cultivate?”

“Ah?” Qing Hua was stunned, “Me? Can I?”

“How many Gene Medicine injections have you had?” Qing Chen asked.

“Two,” Qing Hua explained. “Supervisor, the Intelligence Bureau One has a practice. After becoming an investigator, the Qing Family will allocate the lowest grade Gene Medicine. Becoming an apprentice Supervisor will get the next level, and becoming a Supervisor will directly receive the third injection. Therefore, Supervisors are generally D-Class, apprentice Supervisors are E-Class, and investigators are F-Class.”

Qing Chen nodded, “Hmm, call all the investigators back. From today on, stay in the large office and cultivate. Before the Shendai Jingbian transaction, unless you and Qing Zhun personally lead the team, you are not allowed to contact the outside world. Qing Hua and Yang Xuyang, collect everyone’s phones.”

Qing Hua immediately became serious. The Shendai Jingbian transaction is related to bringing Qing Mu home, and this matter cannot be careless.

“By the way, Boss, secretly teaching the family Cultivation method, will there be any problems?” Qing Hua asked. He knew that the Qing Family had a family Cultivation method. Legend says that talented people can cultivate to B-Class in fifteen years and can also prolong their lives.

But the Cultivation method is extremely precious and is never passed on to outsiders.

So although Qing Hua really wanted to cultivate, he also had to consider Qing Chen.

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Hua, “Don’t worry, it’s not the family Cultivation method, and there are no side effects.”

Qing Hua left in a daze.

...

...

In the morning, Chen Sai, Supervisor of the sixth group, discovered a problem: “Something’s strange today. My informant in the parking lot told me that not a single car from the seventh group went out today, they all came back.”

“Hmm?” The apprentice Supervisor was taken aback.

“Seeing them go out to arrest people every day makes me nervous,” Chen Sai said. “So I gave the security guard in the parking lot some money, asking him to tell me if he sees the seventh group's vehicles entering or leaving. But today, they all came back, and they didn’t arrest anyone. I don’t know why, but I’m even more nervous…”

In Chen Sai’s eyes, the seventh group is now the symbol of his worries.

No matter what they do, it feels like they’re causing trouble.

He looked up at Chen Zhen across the desk, “Go and see what’s going on. What are they doing? Aren’t we VIPs? Sit in their meeting room today and just watch them.”

“Okay, understood,” Chen Zhen said and left.

“By the way,” Chen Sai suddenly said, “Tell our investigators to come back too. I feel like something big might happen.”

Chen Zhen went downstairs alone, but when he reached the third floor, he found the door closed. He could only peek inside through the gap in the frosted glass door.

The next moment, Chen Zhen was stunned.

He saw that in the room of the Intelligence Bureau Seven, a group of people were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran upstairs. He found Supervisor Chen Sai and said, “Boss, the people in the seventh group seem to be performing a ritual!”

Chen Sai: “???”

“What the hell kind of ritual? What are you talking about?” Chen Sai was puzzled. “What the hell is going on?”

Chen Zhen recounted what he saw and heard, and Chen Sai frowned, “That’s not a ritual, they’re clearly cultivating together! It seems that the new Boss of the seventh group is spending big bucks.”

“Boss, I’m not saying I’m inexperienced, but have you ever seen so many people cultivating together?” Chen Zhen asked. “Have you ever seen anyone teach so many people a Cultivation method at once?”

Chen Sai thought for a moment, and indeed, he hadn’t.

When he followed Chen Zhen downstairs back to the door of the seventh group, the two of them peeked inside through the crack in the door.

When investigators from other groups passed by, the two of them quickly stood up straight, pretending to be nonchalant.

Chen Sai thought for a moment, “This can’t just be known to us. Tell the Supervisors of the other few groups.”

Slowly, people gathered at the door of the seventh group, and everyone discussed it.

Not only that, in order to deal with the sudden strange actions of the seventh group, all intelligence groups called back their investigators.

After all, the seventh group has been like a prophet lately, doing everything a step ahead of everyone else.

Now that the seventh group has called everyone back, although they don’t know what happened, following suit is definitely the right thing to do.

Only Li Yunqu remained silent. He was a direct descendant of the family and naturally knew why Qing Chen held such a high position in the Li Clan.

This is the future Grand Tutor of the Li Clan. Isn’t it normal to teach some Cultivation methods? What’s so strange about it…

However, Li Yunqu was thinking, you, Mr. Qing Chen, are someone who can sit at the Li Clan’s negotiating table. Our Intelligence Bureau Two can also be considered your direct line, Mr. Qing Chen, right? We are all one family. Can’t you just teach the seventh group and not the second group?

Li Yunqu started making plans in his heart.

At this time, the door of the seventh group opened, and Qing Hua stood at the door and curiously asked, “Is there anything you need?”

Chen Sai hesitated and asked, “Why didn’t you go out to arrest anyone today?”

Qing Hua said impatiently, “Do we have to go out to arrest people every day? If there’s no one to arrest today, is that okay?”

“No,” Chen Zhen said, “You’re cultivating collectively, aren’t you?!”

“Yeah,” Qing Hua said nonchalantly, “Our Supervisor spent a lot of money buying a Cultivation method from black market merchants as a year-end benefit for all our investigators. Isn’t the Spring Festival coming soon? The Supervisor said that sending gift cards is not as cost-effective as sending Cultivation methods. This thing not only improves strength but also prolongs life. By the way, what are you giving your investigators for the Spring Festival?”

Several Supervisors were immediately stunned.

What a crime!

Who the hell gives Cultivation methods as Spring Festival benefits!

Even a mediocre Cultivation method on the black market costs hundreds of millions, and those usually have side effects!

Your new Supervisor must be crazy!

Chen Sai even noticed that the investigators nearby had quietly looked at him with expectant eyes.

He suddenly felt that after the new Supervisor of the seventh group arrived, they were not only surpassing them in solving cases and arrests but also in Spring Festival benefits!

At this time, Qing Hua smiled and said, “Our Boss said that if he can become the director of the PCAFederation Intelligence Agency, he might give all the investigators of the Intelligence Bureau One this benefit. It is said that this Cultivation method can cultivate to B-Class.”

Chen Sai was stunned again, then cursed himself for being incompetent, because he had just been tempted!

He looked again. Shendai Changming, Li Zhongxian, and Chen Sai clearly showed signs of temptation.

Li Yunqu, however, was not just tempted, but said earnestly, “I support the seventh group Supervisor’s candidacy for the next director!”

In Li Yunqu’s view, this is something that only true family elites can cultivate. He only needs to support Qing Chen’s election as director to learn it.

What are you waiting for?!

However, if Qing Chen is really elected, he will probably become the youngest director of the PCAFederation Intelligence Agency in Federation history...

Too young, only 17 years old.

Qing Hua said to everyone outside the door, “Everyone, disperse. The seventh group will not be seeing guests for two days. We won’t be going out to arrest people, so there’s no new information to update. Let’s talk again after two days.”

Now, Shendai Changming, Li Zhongxian, Chen Sai, and Li Yunqu felt a chill in their hearts. They understood that the Qing Family was going all out to prepare for the Shendai Jingbian transaction!

But what is the Qing Family preparing to do with the Shendai Jingbian?

Shendai Changming had a vague guess, but the other groups couldn’t guess.

After all, Qing Mu has been under house arrest by Shendai for 19 years. Many people outside the Qing Family have already forgotten him.

The Supervisors of various intelligence groups went back with their own thoughts.

After returning to the office, Chen Sai had Chen Zhen follow him in and ask, “Boss, the seventh group suddenly bought a Cultivation method. Aren’t they going to fight us?”

“Fight? What fight?!” Chen Sai said angrily. “Cultivation takes at least half a year or a year to even get started. After half a year, who knows where we’ll all be.”

“Oh,” Chen Zhen stared straight at Chen Sai.

Chen Sai was angry and ashamed, “Why are you looking at me? Do you think I’ll give Cultivation methods as Spring Festival benefits too? Are you stupid, or am I stupid?!”

“Oh,” Chen Zhen lowered his head in disappointment. He was only E-Class now. To be promoted to D-Class, he had to wait for Chen Sai to change positions.

Even if Chen Sai doesn’t become a Supervisor, it might not be his turn.

At this time, Chen Sai said, “Stay in the large office and keep an eye on things. Don’t let anyone discuss the seventh group’s Spring Festival benefits, be careful that someone secretly contacts the seventh group. I suspect that the seventh group’s open Cultivation is to use the Cultivation method to win over other investigators in this building.”

Empathy aside, Chen Sai felt that he had been moved, so the investigators should also be moved.

However, he didn’t believe that the seventh group’s Cultivation method could reach B-Class. After all, the new Supervisor couldn’t use the Qing Family’s Cultivation method to cause trouble.

...

...

In Intelligence Bureau Three, the usual laziness was gone.

All the Shadow Candidates received new tasks, which meant their rare leisure time was over.

Qing Wen, sitting at his desk, suddenly received a message, then stood up and greeted his 36 investigators, “Prepare the cars, we’re going to arrest someone!”

The investigators cheered up. Following the popular candidate always brings rewards. While other Shadow Candidates haven’t made any progress, Qing Wen probably already has the family’s support and has found the whereabouts of the killer.

Qing Wen added, “Everyone, get your weapons ready. The killer who attacked Shendai Fengqing Street last night was quite fierce, so be careful.”

Then, he looked at the 36 investigators under Qing Yi, and found that Qing Yi didn’t come to work today.

Qing Wen shook his head. He had heard that this younger cousin was young and not very studious, but he didn’t expect him to be so lazy.

He said to Qing Yi’s 36 investigators, “Qing Yi isn’t here, why don’t you all follow me to arrest someone?”

Qing Yi’s investigators also cheered up. Qing Yi’s absence was perfect for them, saving them from wasting time with a candidate who seemed to have no chance of winning.

At this moment, the investigators from other groups watched enviously as Qing Wen’s group rushed out, then looked at their bosses. Qing Shi was still chasing stars, Qing Wu was still sleeping, and Qing Yuan was out of contact...

What’s going on?!

Guys, this is the Shadow Succession! Can you all get your act together?!

However, as Qing Wen’s convoy set off, Yan Chunmi outside the PCAFederation Intelligence Agency building sent a message to Qing Chen, “Boss, Qing Wen is moving. He should have found the killer’s whereabouts.”

Qing Chen replied, “Follow him.”

Yan Chunmi asked, “Boss, do we need Kestrel to intervene and take over?”

Qing Chen, “No, Kestrel should stay hidden and participate less in such overt battles. Remember, he also has a Kestrel.”

“Received,” Yan Chunmi thoughtfully got into his car and followed Qing Wen’s convoy.

In the seventh group’s office of the Intelligence Bureau One, Qing Chen stood up.

As he opened the office door, the investigators who had been cultivating cross-legged in the large office all opened their eyes in unison, stood up, and quietly looked at their Boss.

The large office was quiet, everyone waiting for Qing Chen’s instructions.

Qing Chen nodded, “This is more like the Intelligence Bureau One I know. Qing Hua, take the brothers to arrest people. Qing Yi, you’re coming too.”

The 96 investigators of the seventh group responded in unison, “Received!”

Qing Yi followed Qing Chen and asked, “Sir, who are we arresting?”

He had been in Qing Chen’s office the whole time, and he hadn’t seen Qing Chen investigate anything.

Qing Chen smiled, “Of course, we’re arresting the killers who attacked Shendai Fengqing Street.”

“Ah?” Qing Yi was stunned, “We don’t even know where those killers are.”

“What are you worried about? Qing Wen has already helped us find them,” Qing Chen laughed.

Qing Yi suddenly realized, “Oh, Sir, you said to let the bullets fly for a while, you actually meant to wait for Qing Wen to find the clues first, and then we’ll follow behind and arrest them?”

Qing Chen shook his head, “No, we’ll go straight to Intelligence Bureau Three to arrest them. Don’t you forget, Intelligence Bureau One has the right to interrogate prisoners from other bureaus.”

Qing Chen had never planned to spend effort finding people, he only needed to wait for other Shadow Candidates to catch the people, then send Qing Hua to bring them back.

It’s that simple.

However, this can only be done once. After that, the Shadow Candidates will learn their lesson.
