When a person dies, no lie is innocent.

Jiang Xue was secretly pleased when she saw the "boss" say he wasn't moving. Qing Chen was clearly going to move there anyway, it was just that the boss wasn't moving.

Whether the boss moves or not has nothing to do with me, Qing Chen.

Now, Jiang Xue especially enjoys watching Qing Chen lie so earnestly.

But what she didn't expect was that the Little Rich Girl's lie was exactly the same as the boss's.

Li Tongyun will definitely move with Jiang Xue, but the "Little Rich Girl" can't move; if she does, she'll get a beating first...

Fortunately, Qing Chen had reserved a room for each of them in the villa, so that Xiao Tongyun wouldn't be discovered when she participated in the group chat.

Liu Dezhu: "Little Rich Girl, why aren't you moving?"

The Little Rich Girl, "I'm not a local from Los Angeles. I accidentally became Time Walker while traveling there, so I can't move there."

Liu Dezhu: "You can also settle down in Los Angeles. Everyone here is from Los Angeles, and the boss is also from Los Angeles."

The Little Rich Girl: "Definitely in the future!"

Liu Dezhu then asked, "Hey, don't we have a wealthy woman here during the day? Is she moving out?"

The tycoon. "Mind your own business."

Liu Dezhu: "..."

At this moment, Jiang Xue said somewhat shyly in the group chat, "Um, I'm a little embarrassed, everyone. I'm a divorced single mother, so I'll be bringing my daughter with me. But don't worry, she's very well-behaved and won't bother anyone."

Qing Chen Nan Gengchen were both laughing so hard they were practically doubled over in the first-floor room...

A Little Duck: "Is she really well-behaved? If she is, then there's no problem... Qiu Xue, don't worry about bringing her here. The boss definitely wouldn't have the heart to separate you and your daughter."

Boss: "Hmm, bring your daughter along, it won't be a problem."

Xiao Tongyun, who lives in the second bedroom upstairs, suddenly started to worry as she watched her mother struggling to explain for her. She thought about how badly she would be punished if she were ever found out.

At night, Qing Chen pushed open the door to Yang Yang's house alone. To his surprise, there was a letter under the door, written by Zhang Wanfang. The envelope was thick and seemed to contain money.

He didn't read the contents of the letter, nor did he take the money; he simply threw it into the trash can.

The force field of the gravity chamber had not weakened much, but Qing Chen had already advanced from E-Class to the peak of D-Class, so the original gravity chamber was no longer of much use to him.

Perhaps even Yang Yang didn't expect Qing Chen to be promoted so quickly.

During this period, Qing Chen has also had two other hidden abilities that are growing rapidly. One is that his sniper rifle target has been moved to 2350 meters, and the other is that he has maintained the first section of Breathing Technique, Knight True Qi has begun to spread from his arms and legs to his spine.

He has an extremely high demand for Knight True Qi. On the one hand, the sharpness of Knight True Qi in turning all things into a sword is very important, and on the other hand, the quantity is also very important.

When Qing Chen went to Xiancheng this time, he carried playing cards with him, so he had no problem passing through security.

If he goes with the enemy to a place where he cannot carry weapons, then the skill of using the Autumn Leaf Blade as a personal weapon will become his trump card.

But what Qing Chen cares about most right now is not the Autumn Leaf Blade.

Rather, it is the Puppet Master that holds the puppets together after he manipulates them.

When he killed Zhang San, he used the string between himself and the puppet to deliver the fatal blow, severing the man's neck.

This made Qing Chen think that if one day he could control many puppets, with the fifty-meter-long strings between them all as sharp as knives.

Then the host and the puppet can pull out a huge Heaven and Earth Net and quickly reap the rewards on the battlefield.

At that time, they were like invisible Puppet Master, their figures intertwined, and the sharp strings would be extremely deadly.

At one point, Qing Chen thought that this might be the best way to combine the Puppet Master with the Knight True Qi.

Countdown: 162:00:00.

No classes on Sundays.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Dezhu braved the biting cold wind to knock on the door. Today it was Nan Gengchen's turn to break the wind. The guy looked listless and no one knew what he had been doing for the past seven days.

Qing Chen pondered at the back of the group: was it too risky to let a naturally thin boy like Nan Gengchen walk the path of a knight?

The path of a knight in the Outer World involves completing all eight Life and Death Trial, after which one will be promoted to a true knight, advancing directly from an ordinary person to A-rank, without having to Heart's Inquiry.

But the real danger on the path of a knight lies in the challenge itself.

The first task is climbing the Green Mountain Cliff. A slight misstep could lead to a fall from the cliff. That final, desperate leap could cost countless lives.

The challenge consists of eight Life and Death Trial, requiring challengers to be among the best in each sport.

Each of these had an extremely high mortality rate.

Therefore, not every member of the Daytime Sect has to take this path. Selecting a few without potential and having them practice the Zhunti Method can also help them become protectors of the Daytime Sect sooner.

Qing Chen glanced at Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, Nan Gengchen, and slowly began to have new ideas.

After the morning run, he said to the group, "Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, and Nan Gengchen, the three of you come inside with me. Xiao Niu, you go home first and contact the moving company. The boss wants us to move there this afternoon while we don't have to go to school, so we can all gather together for our practice."

Hu Xiaoniu was stunned for a moment.

Cultivation?

But why did Qing Chen call away the other three and leave himself alone to do the work?

Hu Xiaoniu didn't understand, but said nothing, "Okay, I understand."

Currently, the boss holds the highest position within the Daytime Organization, followed by Qing Chen, and everyone acknowledges this.

Inside the room, Qing Chen looked at the three people in front of him. "The boss asked me to teach you some new things."

Zhang Tianzhen asked curiously, "Qing Chen, why didn't you invite Hu Xiaoniu? Did he do something wrong?"

"I don't know," Qing Chen shook his head. "That's what the boss told me to do, and I didn't ask why."

Zhang Tianzhen also fell silent.

Liu Dezhu asked, "Qing Chen, what do you plan to teach us?"

At this moment, Qing Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "The method of cultivation, the orthodox method of cultivation."

The three of them were stunned for a moment. Even Nan Gengchen didn't know that Qing Chen had already mastered other cultivation methods!

They looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone had joined He Xiaoxiao's group chat. Although Zhang Tianzhen was not in the same group as everyone else, the Time Walker in the group would more or less talk about things related to cultivation.

They knew very well that although the methods of cultivation were rare, they could still be found as long as one was willing to spend money.

At most, there might be some aftereffects, but the potential for long-term effects is very low.

"How much do you know about cultivation methods?" Qing Chen asked.

Liu Dezhu was quite interested in this, and he said, "I know that many cultivation methods have side effects. It is said that there are cultivation methods in the Inner World that require castration before cultivation..."

Qing Chen thought to himself, he had never heard of this before; the price was indeed a bit too high...

He asked, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Dezhu: "I've also heard that there's a Tiger Sect whose martial arts technique has a maximum C-Class, but practitioners become as strong as oxen; there's another particularly evil technique that makes practitioners covered in hair; there's another technique that causes intellectual decline; and there's another technique that makes practitioners fart all day long, with higher levels resulting in more and louder farts..."

Qing Chen thought to himself, "This cultivator who talks nonsense will have a hard time pursuing an assassination career."

These are not orthodox cultivation methods; they all use unorthodox methods to gain power.

There will always be various costs.

However, adding the word "orthodox" before "method of cultivation" completely changes it.

It has been said that the entire Federation's orthodox cultivation methods are no more than the size of a palm!

Now, such a scarce resource is right in front of them.

"Our orthodox cultivation method is probably unique within the Time Walker organization, isn't it?" Zhang Tianzhen asked curiously.

"Not necessarily," Qing Chen shook his head. "I've heard rumors that He Jinqiu is in the Hu Clan's intelligence organization in the Inner World. It's said that this organization also has orthodox cultivation methods. If He Jinqiu is a core member of that organization, then there should be such cultivators in the Jiuzhou as well."

Qing Chen said, "Let's not talk about other things now. Follow my breathing rhythm and adjust your breathing rhythm accordingly."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and began to maintain the first Breathing Technique.

Just a few minutes later, they were shocked to find that the three people opposite them had not grasped the situation at all.

Liu Dezhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Qing Chen, this breathing rhythm... is very difficult to control precisely."

Qing Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly placed his fingers on Nan Gengchen's wrist pulse, recalling how Li Shutong had first guided him in the Breathing Technique.

The next moment, as he began to enter the first Breathing Technique frequency, the Knight True Qi within his body surged, and Nan Gengchen's breathing frequency was forcibly changed accordingly!

So this is how Breathing Technique should be passed down!

Nan Gengchen's face initially turned bluish-purple, but then returned to normal.

Ten minutes later, this guy seemed to have entered a meditative state, completely immersed in some kind of strange consciousness.

Qing Chen was also somewhat surprised. The booklet said that it was very difficult to get started with the Zhunti Method, and it usually took half a year to truly master it and feel the existence of Qi.

But now, Nan Gengchen's behavior is clearly wrong. Didn't he have it all figured out from the beginning?

Although Qing Chen was needed to guide him, this guy had clearly sensed the presence of Qi.

He gently tapped Nan Gengchen's Shen Ting acupoint with his finger. "Use your consciousness to guide the generated Qi here. This is the first bright spot you need to polish. After polishing 81 bright spots, the first round of cultivation will be complete."

Qing Chen had never practiced the Zhunti Method, so he could only teach according to the words in the booklet.

He had already burned that booklet; anyway, with his memory, it didn't matter whether there was a physical book or not.

Qing Chen looked at Zhang Tianzhen: "Close your eyes."

After saying that, he grabbed the other person's wrist and used the same trick again.

To Qing Chen's astonishment, Zhang Tianzhen, along with others, sensed the presence of Qi and entered a meditative state after the first guidance.

Undeterred, Qing Chen continued to try it on Liu Dezhu, but the result was the same!

He originally just wanted to use Liu Dezhu to test whether the other party could still cultivate after awakening and being injected with gene serum.

As it turned out, it was indeed possible.

In other words, Liu Dezhu is currently cultivating all three branches simultaneously and advancing them in parallel. Will he become the most abnormal hexagonal warrior in the B-Class in the future?

The so-called "hexagonal warrior" refers to someone who excels in all aspects, including agility, defense, endurance, and strength, with no weaknesses.

The boy looked at the three meditating figures sitting cross-legged in front of him and fell into deep confusion. How could this be completely different from what the booklet said?

If only Nan Gengchen was like this, Qing Chen would think that the kid was exceptionally talented.

But even Liu Dezhu felt this way; he thought his teacher must have some extraordinary talent...

No, no, Qing Chen pondered.

What are the differences in the places of cultivation between the three people in front of me and the author of the pamphlet?

Section Four: Breathing Technique!

That's where the difference lies!

Qing Chen recalled the moments when Li Shutong guided him, and the moments when he guided others. It was clear that the Knight True Qi within his body was influencing everything.

Therefore, the fourth Breathing Technique is itself a shortcut to inheriting the first three Breathing Techniques.

Because the author had no one to guide him, he found the first three sections of Breathing Technique extremely difficult and took many detours.

But Qing Chen's side is different. Even if Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu, and Zhang Tianzhen wanted to take a detour, they couldn't!

Thinking of this, Qing Chen suddenly had a new idea.

He placed his palm on Liu Dezhu's Shen Ting acupoint on the top of his head and gently tried to infuse it with Knight True Qi.

Liu Dezhu's expression remained calm and normal, but two lines of tears streamed down his closed eyelids...

A short while later, he opened his eyes and said with tears streaming down his face, "Qing Chen, my Shen Ting acupoint has been lit! When you placed your palm on my Shen Ting acupoint, I felt a warm current flowing into it like a vast ocean. That warm current was much stronger than my Qi, and it lit up my Shen Ting acupoint in just a few breaths."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. So the concept of empowerment really existed!

Isn't this the Consecration Method? The master helps the disciple open the barrier to cultivation!

Originally, Qing Chen only recalled that the Zhunti Method was a Tibetan Buddhist scripture, and that initiation was the most basic and important ritual in Tibetan Buddhism.

So I decided to give it a try.

Who would have thought that this Consecration Method would actually work?

No wonder Tibetan Buddhism always mentions initiation; it really does have benefits!

However, since no one in the Outer World can break through the world rules between ordinary people and cultivators, the initiation has become a ritual.

Looking at Liu Dezhu's tearful face, he thought to himself that if he didn't know the effect of the Knight True Qi, he would have thought that the other party was moved to tears by him.

Qing Chen asked casually, "Why are you crying?"

Liu Dezhu wiped away his tears. "I don't know, I just want to cry."

Qing Chen: "..."

He said nothing more and took Liu Dezhu's pulse again to help him enter a meditative state.

Immediately afterwards, Qing Chen placed his palm on Zhang Tianzhen's head and infused it with Knight True Qi.

Zhang Tianzhen was also seen with tears streaming down her face.

However, Zhang Tianzhen was not so easily angered. After activating the Shen Ting acupoint, he continued to meditate with his eyes closed, letting the tears flow freely.

Qing Chen thought to himself that this kind of empowerment could indeed help the members of Daylight grow rapidly, but the problem was that it would cause everyone to be a little dehydrated...

Of course, another problem is that climbing too quickly in terms of level may lead to an unstable foundation.

However, after careful consideration, Qing Chen decided that since he was only going to let these three people serve as protectors, they could first grow up to have the physical qualities of extraordinary individuals, and their foundation could be built up slowly in the future.

Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After he gave Nan Gengchen the empowerment, he began to plan his own Knight True Qi.

With his current Knight True Qi reserves and recovery speed, he can light up one bright spot for each of the three people every 4 hours, so that's 6 bright spots a day, and 42 bright spots in 7 days.

According to the booklet, lighting up 49 bright dots constitutes a Xiao Zhou, and lighting up 81 dots constitutes a large cycle.

Here, the Xiao Zhou corresponds to F-Class, while the Great Heavenly Circuit corresponds to E-Class.

With just two crossings, three more E-Class superhumans will appear during the day?

Facing the impending storm in City No. 18, the E-Class superhumans, while not exactly experts, at least had more means to save their lives.

This made Qing Chen's eyes light up. Wasn't this kind of empowerment just a cheat code that a master would give to his disciple?!

Although he would be a little tired and suffer a bit, the Knight True Qi had a new use, which gave Qing Chen the motivation to practice the first section of the Breathing Technique.

At High Noon, Qing Chen said slowly, "Open your eyes, everyone. It's time for lunch."

The three opened their eyes and looked at each other, their eyes red-rimmed, yet filled with undisguised joy.

Zhang Tianzhen stood up and bowed deeply to Qing Chen: "Thank you."

"No need for that," Qing Chen said, standing up as well. "With your strength, the Daylight Organization can thrive. Right now, the boss and I are protecting you all, and we hope that one day you can turn the tables and protect the organization in return."

Liu Dezhu exclaimed excitedly, "Definitely! I felt like I hadn't had enough of the last trip to Xiancheng. The boss should have let me help out in the fight!"

Qing Chen smiled and said, "There will be opportunities."

Zhang Tianzhen went upstairs thoughtfully. Everyone was going to move to the new base during the day that afternoon.

A new path of spiritual practice, a new base—it all seems to hold promise.

Zhang Tianzhen opened the door to her home, only to find Hu Xiaoniu sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Hu Xiaoniu turned his head and saw. "Crying? Did Qing Chen beat you up?"

Zhang Tianzhen laughed and said, "What, are you planning to help me get revenge?"

Hu Xiaoniu shook his head. "Qing Chen is very sensible. If he beats up the three of you, it means you three deserve it."

Zhang Tianzhen said, both amused and exasperated, "Hey, we've been best buddies for years!"

"Tell me, what did you learn this morning?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.

"The cultivation method," Zhang Tianzhen said seriously, "is a genuine and orthodox cultivation method with no side effects! Moreover, Qing Chen can also help us cultivate with the empowerment method. I feel that after two more traversals at most, the three of us will reach E-Class."

"Oh," Hu Xiaoniu nodded.

"What, aren't you envious?" Zhang Tianzhen said with a chuckle.

Hu Xiaoniu glanced at Zhang Tianzhen: "Do you think I've made any mistakes recently?"

"No," Zhang Tianzhen said with a smile.

"Then why can't I cultivate with Qing Chen?" Hu Xiaoniu laughed. "Don't worry, I know very well that there is definitely a better path for me. Just follow the boss steadily."
