Naming Technique of the Night

But even Liu Dezhu felt this way, he must have thought his teacher was somewhat extraordinarily gifted...

That’s not right, Qing Chen contemplated.

What exactly is different between these three individuals and the writer of the pamphlet concerning their cultivation?

The Fourth Breathing Technique!

The difference lies right here!

Qing Chen recalled the moment Uncle Li Dong had guided him and then the times he had guided others; it was clearly the Knight Vital Energy within him that was affecting everything.

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

The writer suffered greatly in practicing the first three Breathing Techniques without guidance and took many wrong turns.

On Qing Chen’s side, however, it was different; Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu, and Zhang Tianzhen couldn’t have taken the wrong path even if they wanted to!

With this thought, Qing Chen suddenly had another idea.

He placed his palm on the Baihui acupoint atop Liu Dezhu’s head and gently tried to infuse Knight Vital Energy into it.

Liu Dezhu’s face was calm without any abnormality, yet from the slight parting of his closed eyelids, two lines of tears flowed down...

After a short while, he opened his eyes, his face covered in tears, and said, "Classmate Qing Chen, my Baihui acupoint has been illuminated! When you placed your hand on my Baihui acupoint, I felt a warm current, like an ocean, pour into me. That current was much stronger than my own energy and illuminated the Baihui acupoint in just a few breaths."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, realizing that the idea of empowerment truly existed!

Isn’t this The Method of Empowerment, where the master helps the disciple unlock the gates of cultivation!

Originally, Qing Chen only remembered that the Cundi dharma is from Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, and empowerment is the most basic and important ceremony in Tibetan Buddhism.

He simply gave it a try.

Who could have thought that The Method of Empowerment would actually work.

No wonder Tibetan Buddhism always emphasizes empowerment; turns out it really does have its benefits!

Only, in the Outer World, no one can break through the world rules between Ordinary People and Cultivators, which is why empowerment has become nothing more than a ceremony.

He looked at Liu Dezhu’s tear-stained face and mused that if he didn’t understand the effects of Knight Vital Energy, he might have thought the other was moved to tears by him.

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

Liu Dezhu wiped his tears away and said, "I don’t know, I just felt like crying."

Qing Chen: "..."

He didn’t say anything more, resumed holding Liu Dezhu’s pulse, and helped him enter a state of meditation.

Next, Qing Chen placed his palm over Zhang Tianzhen’s head and infused him with Knight Vital Energy.

Zhang Tianzhen, too, began to shed tears.

However, Zhang Tianzhen was not as overwhelmed; after lighting up his Baihui acupoint, he continued to meditate with closed eyes, letting the tears flow freely.

Qing Chen thought to himself that this method of empowerment could indeed help the members of Daytime grow quickly, the only problem being that it might lead to a bit of dehydration...

Of course, another issue was that escalating in level too quickly might lead to an unstable foundation.

But after careful consideration, Qing Chen felt that since his only intention was for these three to assume the role of Protectors, they could first grow to possess the physical attributes of a Superhuman. As for the foundation, it could be replenished in time.

Overall, it was more advantageous than disadvantageous.

After he had imparted empowerment to Nan Gengchen, he began to calculate his own reserve of Knight Vital Energy.

With his current reserve and recovery speed of Knight Vital Energy, he could help light up one acupoint for each of the three individuals in around 4 hours, which meant six acupoints in a day, and 42 in seven days.

According to the pamphlet, lighting up 49 acupoints constitutes a Minor Circulation, while 81 acupoints make a Grand Circulation.

Here, a Minor Circulation corresponds to F-Class, while a Grand Circulation corresponds to E-Class.

Would Daytime gain three more E-Class Superhumans with just two more traversals?

In view of the storm brewing over Xian City on the 18th, although E-Class Superhumans don’t count as experts, at least there was some more capital for survival.

This brightened Qing Chen’s eyes; wasn’t empowerment simply the cheat code that a master gives to his disciple?!

Though he would be a bit tired and suffer some, the Knight Vital Energy had found a new use, which gave Qing Chen the motivation to practice the First Breathing Technique again.

By noon, Qing Chen slowly said, "Open your eyes, everyone. It’s time for lunch."

The three of them opened their eyes and looked at each other, eyes rimmed red but with undeniable joy in their eyes.

Zhang Tianzhen stood up, gave Qing Chen a deep bow, and said, "Thank you."

"There’s no need for that," Qing Chen also stood up and said, "If all of you possess strong powers, the Daytime organization will be able to do better. Right now, it’s up to the boss and me to protect you all, but I hope there will come a day when you can protect the organization in return."

Flushed with excitement, Liu Dezhu said, "I definitely will. Last time I went to Xian City, I felt like I hadn’t had enough. The boss should have let me help fight!"

Qing Chen smiled, "There will be opportunities."

Zhang Tianzhen, deep in thought, went upstairs. In the afternoon, everyone would move to Daytime’s new base.

A new path in cultivation, a new base; everything seemed hopeful.

When Zhang Tianzhen opened his door, he found Hu Xiaoniu sitting on the sofa, daydreaming.

Turning his head and seeing him, Hu Xiaoniu asked, "You cried? Did Qing Chen beat you guys up?"

Zhang Tianzhen laughed and said, "What, planning on avenging me?"

Hu Xiaoniu shook his head, "Qing Chen is very measured in his actions. If he beat you three, that means you deserved it."

Zhang Tianzhen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Hey, we’ve been good brothers for many years."

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

"Methods of cultivation," Zhang Tianzhen replied earnestly, "Real, orthodox methods of cultivation, without any side effects! Moreover, Qing Chen can help us cultivate with the method of empowerment. I feel that, after at most two more traversals, the three of us could reach E-Class."

"Oh," Hu Xiaoniu nodded.

"What, aren’t you envious?" Zhang Tianzhen laughed cheerfully.

Hu Xiaoniu gave Zhang Tianzhen a look, "Do you think I’ve made any mistakes recently?"

No," Zhang Tianzhen laughed.

"Then why am I the only one who can’t cultivate with Qing Chen? Don’t worry, I am very clear in my heart that there must be an even better path reserved for me. I just need to follow the boss steadily."
