Spring Festival Benefits
"Sir, what is the upper limit of the cultivation method you provided?" Qing Yi asked this question for the first time.
"B-Class," Qing Chen replied in his office.
"Really? You actually managed to cultivate to B-Class?" Qing Yi seemed somewhat surprised.
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He thought Qing Yi would be a little disappointed, after all, there were two levels above B-Class: A-level and demigod.
But he quickly realized that this might also be Outer World.
The Time Walker from the Outer World, looking up at the level of demigods, naturally looks towards the highest point, after all, when everyone sets their own dreams, they all want to be the most powerful one.
But the people in the Inner World are different. They know how few experts like A-level and demigods are, so they think that B-Class is already very powerful.
At this moment, Qing Chen was thinking, if the first three Breathing Techniques of the Zhunti Method can reach B-Class, does that mean that the fourth Breathing Technique can allow the practitioner to reach level A?
However, practitioners of the Zhunti Method should also need to Heart's Inquiry when practicing the fourth Breathing Technique.
Perhaps what Buddhist practitioners mean when they say that spiritual practice requires cultivating the mind, being careful of inner demons invading, and that one can only become a Buddha when one's mind is thoroughly enlightened, is because one must Heart's Inquiry.
However, in the Zhunti Method, one only needs to undergo the Heart's Inquiry after reaching B-Class, while in the Knight tradition, the Heart's Inquiry process is required from the very beginning.
Therefore, the Knights have a higher ceiling.
But then Qing Yi meditative state, but after a while he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qing Chen behind the table.
"What's wrong?" Qing Chen raised an eyebrow.
Qing Yi asked, "Sir, is it no longer possible to receive the initiation ceremony at this stage of cultivation?"
Qing Chen smiled helplessly, "Okay, you can start cultivating first, and I'll give you the initiation later."
He hadn't expected that Qing Yi would actually make a request. Back at the Autumn Leaf Villa, the other person was so shy and didn't dare to say anything. Even when he gave initiations to everyone else, this kid would just look at him with a pitiful expression.
Sometimes, most people are polite to strangers, but they are quite unceremonious with friends and family.
This shows that Qing Yi has indeed become very close to Qing Chen.
Here, Qing Yi entered meditation, guiding his Qi and meridians while silently waiting, until a warm hand suddenly covered his watermelon head, at which point he finally focused all his attention on cultivation.
Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen once tried it out, and found that once the Zhunti Method reached the point of completing the Great Circulation, it could no longer be initiated by someone who had also completed the Great Circulation.
But Qing Chen can still do it.
In other words, only after all practitioners of the Zhunti Method reach E-Class will they truly begin to compete in terms of cultivation talent, and everyone's cultivation speed will gradually slow down.
Only those who have mastered the fourth Breathing Technique can continue to bestow initiation upon those who have completed the Great Circulation.
Qing Chen is now only two legs away from fully absorbing the Knight True Qi. However, even after the Knight True Qi 'Knight True Qi is infused into his body, Qing Yi may not be able to fully absorb it.
Only about one-tenth can be received.
Therefore, he would probably need to work tirelessly for twelve days to empower the other party and help them reach D-Class.
He can't test how many days it takes to go from D-Class to C-Class, or from C-Class to B-Class.
Twelve days is actually quite fast. If Qing Yi were to cultivate on his own, he would be at E-Class now, and it would probably take him a year to advance to D-Class.
This means that the upper limit of the group that can practice the Zhunti Method should be around E-Class or D-Class.
Qing Chen can't possibly do nothing but give people spiritual guidance every day.
In fact, the path that Luo Wanyai is taking is the most suitable for the "Zhunti Method". Although the family members are not of high level, there are many of them!
With tens of thousands of D-Class family members, wouldn't they be able to beat the Mechanical God Cult to a pulp?
Luo Wanyai probably knew that what his family needed most right now was to keep a low profile, which is why he was hiding and never confronting the Mechanical God Cult head-on.
The next moment, Qing Hua walked in from outside. He was stunned Qing Yi: "Boss, is this person cultivating?"
He thought to himself, "My boss has already started to openly support a certain Shadow Candidate. Does Mr. Shadow know about this?"
Then, Qing Chen looked at him and asked, "Do you want to cultivate?"
"Huh?" Qing Hua was stunned. "Me? Can I?"
"How many injections of gene serum did you receive?" Qing Chen asked.
"Two injections," Qing Hua explained. "Inspector, it's like this. There's a routine in the Intelligence Department One. After becoming an agent, the Qing family will allocate one dose of the lowest-level gene serum. Becoming a trainee inspector will get you the next level up, and becoming an inspector will get you the third dose. So inspectors are usually D-Class, trainee inspectors are E-Class, and agents are all F-Class."
Qing Chen nodded. "Okay, call all the agents back. From today onwards, you're all to stay in the main office and train. Until the transaction with Kamishiro Jingbian, unless you and Qing Zhun personally lead the team, you are not allowed to contact the outside world. Qing Hua, you and Yang Xuyang collect all the phones."
Qing Hua immediately became serious. The transaction with Kamishiro Jingbian was related to bringing Qing Mu home, and this matter could not be taken lightly.
"By the way, boss, will there be any problems with you privately passing on the family's cultivation method?" Qing Hua asked. He knew that the Qing family had a family cultivation method, and it was said that talented people could reach B-Class in fifteen years and even prolong their lives.
However, the methods of cultivation are extremely precious and are never passed on to outsiders.
Therefore, although Qing Hua really wanted to cultivate, she also had to think about Qing Chen.
Qing Chen glanced at Qing Hua: "Don't worry, it's not a family cultivation method, and there are no side effects."
Qing Hua left, completely bewildered.
In the morning, Chen Sai, the inspector of Group Six, noticed a problem. "Today is a bit strange. My informant in the parking lot told me that Group Seven didn't send out a single car today; they all came back."
"Huh?" The trainee inspector was taken aback.
"Watching them go out to arrest people every day makes me really anxious," Chen Sai said. "So I gave the parking lot guard some money so he could let me know if he saw any vehicles from Group Seven coming in or out. But today they all came back, and they're not arresting anyone anymore. I don't know why, but I'm even more anxious now..."
In Chen Sai's view, Group Seven is now synonymous with "moth" in his mind.
No matter what they do, it's like they're making a ruckus.
He looked up at Chen Zhen across the desk. "Go see what's going on, what are they doing. Aren't we VIPs? You just sit in their conference room today, don't do anything else, just keep an eye on them."
"Okay, I understand," Chen Zhen said and left.
"By the way," Chen Sai suddenly said, "You've brought all our agents back too. I have a feeling something big might be about to happen."
Chen Zhen came downstairs alone, but when he got to the third floor, he found the door closed. He could only peek inside through the crack in the frosted glass door.
The next moment, Chen Zhen was stunned.
Inside the room of Intelligence Group Seven, a group of people were sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
Chen Zhen paused for a moment, then turned and ran upstairs. He found Inspector Chen Sai and said, "Boss, it seems like the people in Group Seven are performing a ritual!"
Chen Sai: "???"
"What the hell is going on? What kind of magic is this? Are you crazy?" Chen Sai asked, puzzled. "What on earth happened?"
Chen Zhen recounted what he had seen and heard, and Chen Sai frowned. "This isn't a ritual, it's clearly a group of cultivators! It seems that the new boss of Group Seven has really gone all out."
"Boss, it's not that I'm ignorant, but have you ever seen so many people cultivating together?" Chen Zhen asked. "Have you ever seen anyone who, after acquiring a cultivation method, imparts it to so many people at once?"
Chen Sai thought about it and realized he had never seen it before.
When he followed Chen Zhen downstairs back to the door of Group 7, the two of them, one tall and one short, peered through the crack in the door.
When agents from other groups passed by, the two quickly straightened up and pretended to be nonchalant.
Chen Sai thought for a moment, "We can't be the only ones who know about this. We need to tell the supervisors in the other groups."
Gradually, a crowd gathered at the entrance of Group Seven, and everyone was discussing it.
Moreover, in order to deal with the sudden and strange behavior of Group Seven, all intelligence teams recalled their agents.
After all, Group Seven has been acting like a prophet these past few days, always one step ahead of everyone else in everything they do.
Now that Group Seven has recalled everyone, although they don't know what happened, they're sure they can do the right thing by following their instructions.
Li Yunqu remained silent. As a direct descendant of the family, he naturally knew why Qing Chen held such a high position in the Li family.
This is the future Grand Tutor of the Li family! Isn't it normal for him to teach him some cultivation methods? What's so strange about it...?
However, Li Yunqu thought to himself, "Mr. Qing Chen, you are a person in the Li family who can sit at the meeting table. Our Intelligence Group Two can also be considered your direct subordinates, Mr. Qing Chen. We are all family. You can't just teach Group Seven and not Group Two, can you..."
Li Yunqu to make his own plans.
Just then, the door to Group Seven opened, Qing Hua stood in the doorway, asking curiously, "What brings you here?"
Chen Sai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why didn't you go out to arrest anyone today?"
Qing Hua said irritably, "Do we really have to go out and arrest people every day? Can't we just leave it at that today?"
"No," Chen Zhen said, "You're practicing together, aren't you?!"
"Yeah," Qing Hua said casually, "Our inspector spent a fortune buying cultivation methods from black market merchants as a year-end bonus for all of us agents. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the inspector said giving out shopping cards or something wouldn't be as practical as giving out cultivation methods. This stuff not only increases strength but also prolongs life. By the way, what do you guys give your agents for Chinese New Year?"
The inspectors were taken aback.
What a terrible thing!
Who the hell is giving out cultivation methods as Chinese New Year benefits?!
On the black market, even a decent cultivation method can cost hundreds of millions, and that's the kind that has side effects!
Your new inspector must be crazy!
Chen Sai even noticed that one of his own agents, not far from him, was quietly looking at him with expectant eyes.
He suddenly realized that since the arrival of this new inspector from the seventh group, not only were they being dragged into solving cases and making arrests, but they were also being taken over by the Spring Festival benefits!
At this moment, Qing Hua said with a smile, "Our boss said that if he can become the director of the PCA (CIA), he might give this benefit to all the agents in Intelligence Department One First Intelligence Division. It is said that this cultivation method can be cultivated to B-Class."
Chen Sai was stunned again, then cursed himself for being so spineless, because he had just been a little tempted!
He turned his head again and saw that Kamiyo Changming and Inspector Kashima Lee Jong-heon- heon had clearly also been tempted.
Li Yunqu, however, was no longer merely tempted; he stated unequivocally and earnestly, "I support the Seventh Group Inspector's candidacy for the next bureau chief!"
In Li Yunqu's view, this was something that only the true elites of the family could learn, and he only needed to support Qing Chen's election as director to learn it.
What are you waiting for?!
However, if Qing Chen is indeed elected, he will probably become the youngest PCA (Central Intelligence Agency) director in federal history...
Too young, only 17 years old.
Qing Hua said to everyone outside the door, "Everyone, please disperse. Group Seven will not be receiving guests for the next two days. We will not be going out to arrest anyone, so there is no information to update. We will discuss everything in two days."
At this moment, Kamiyo Changming, Lee Jong-heon, Chen Sai, Li Yunqu and others felt a chill in their hearts. They understood that the Qing family was going all out to prepare for the transaction of Kamishiro Jingbian!
But what exactly is the Qing clan planning to do with the Kamishiro Jingbian?
Kamiyo Changming had a vague guess in his mind, but the other groups were still a bit unsure.
After all, Qing Mu had been under house arrest by the Gods for 19 years, and many people outside the Qing clan had already forgotten about him.
The inspectors from each intelligence group returned home, each with their own thoughts.
After Chen Sai returned to his office, Chen Zhen followed him in and asked, "Boss, Group Seven suddenly bought cultivation methods. Are they planning a fight with us?"
"What kind of fighting is this?!" Chen Sai said irritably, "Cultivation is something that takes at least six months to a year to even get past the threshold. After six months, nobody knows where we'll be."
"Oh," Chen Zhen stared intently at Chen Sai.
Chen Sai, enraged, retorted, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'd give out cultivation methods as a New Year's bonus? Is your brain rusty, or mine?!"
"Oh," Chen Zhen lowered his head in disappointment. He was only at the E-Class now, and if he wanted to be promoted to the D-Class, he would have to wait for Chen Sai to change positions.
Even if Chen Sai were to step down as inspector, it might not be his turn.
At this moment, Chen Sai said, "Go back to the main office and keep an eye on things. During this period, no one is allowed to discuss the New Year's benefits of Group Seven. Be careful that no one contacts Group Seven in private. I suspect that Group Seven's open and aboveboard cultivation is just a way to use cultivation methods to turn the other agents in this building against them."
Putting himself in their shoes, Chen Sai felt that if he was tempted by something, the detectives would probably be tempted too.
However, he didn't believe that the cultivation method of the Seventh Group could reach the B-Class. After all, the new inspector wouldn't use the Qing family's cultivation method to cause trouble.
The previous laziness has disappeared from the Intelligence Department Three.
All the Shadow Candidate have received new assignments, which means that their rare period of relaxation is over.
While sitting at his desk, Qing Wen suddenly received a message, then stood up and ordered his 36 agents, "Prepare the car, make the arrest!"
The agents perked up; it seemed that following the trend was indeed profitable. While the other Shadow Candidate hadn't made any progress, this Qing Wen had likely already secured family support and located the assassin's whereabouts.
Qing Wen added, "Everyone, get your weapons ready. The assassins who attacked the Kamiyo Style Street last night were quite ruthless, so please be careful."
After saying that, he looked at the 36 agents under Qing Yi's command and then realized that Qing Yi had not come to work at all today.
Qing Wen shook his head. He had long heard that his cousin was still young and not very ambitious, but he never expected him to be so lazy.
He said to the 36 agents under Qing Yi's command, "Qing Yi isn't here, so why don't you all come with me to arrest him?"
The agents under Qing Yi were also invigorated. It was just right for them that Qing Yi didn't come to work, saving them from wasting time with that candidate who seemed to have no chance of winning.
At this moment, the other detectives watched helplessly as Qing Wen's group swarmed out, while their bosses, Qing Shi, was still chasing after her idol, Qing Wu was still sleeping, Qing Yuan was nowhere to be found...
What kind of mess is this?!
Guys, this is Shadow Struggle! Can you guys pull yourselves together?!
However, just as Qing Wen's convoy set off, Yan Chunmi, outside the PCA Federal CIA building, sent Qing Chen a message: "Boss, Qing Wen has been dispatched. He must have found the assassin's whereabouts."
Qing Chen replied with a message: "Follow him."
Yan Chunmi asked, "Boss, do you need our Kite Falcon to intervene and rescue them?"
Qing Chen: "No need. Kite Falcon should stay in the shadows and avoid getting involved in these open battles. Remember, he has Kite Falcon too."
"Received," Yan Chunmi said thoughtfully as she got into her car and followed behind Qing Wen's convoy.
In the office of Group Seven of the Intelligence Department One, Qing Chen stood up.
The moment he pushed open the office door, the agents who had been meditating cross-legged in the large office opened their eyes in unison, stood up, and quietly looked at their boss.
The large office was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Qing Chen's instructions.
Qing Chen nodded. "That's more like Intelligence Department One should be. Qing Hua, take the brothers to arrest them. Qing Yi, you come along too."
Seven teams of 96 agents responded in unison, "Roger!"
Qing Yi followed behind Qing Chen and asked, "Sir, who are we going to arrest?"
He had been staying in Qing Chen's office the whole time, but he hadn't seen Qing Chen investigate anything.
Qing Chen laughed and said, "Of course, we're going to catch the assassins who attacked the Kamiyo Style Street."
"Huh?" Qing Yi aback. "We still don't know where those assassins are."
"What are you worried about? Qing Wen has already found it for us," Qing Chen said with a smile.
Qing Yi suddenly realized. "Oh, sir, you said to let the bullets fly for a while, so you wanted to wait for Qing Wen to find the clues first, and then we would follow up and catch him?"
But Qing Chen shook his head. "No, we'll go directly to Intelligence Department Three to arrest them. Have you forgotten? Intelligence Department One has the authority to interrogate prisoners from other divisions."
Qing Chen never intended to go through the trouble of finding the person. He only needed to wait for the other Shadow Candidate to capture the person before sending Qing Hua to bring them back.
It's that simple.
However, this can only be done once; after that, the Shadow Candidate will learn their lesson.
