However, the next moment, his calm heart surged violently because someone placed an object in his palm.

He knew too well what this was, "A B-level Crystal?"

The Douglas Family indeed didn't lack this, and Mike was also a Wind Attribute Warrior.

Even though he hadn't seen a B-level Crystal before, he could feel it, not to mention he had five of them in his collection.

"Don't speak," Jamaari's voice sounded, "Follow your usual Cultivation Method."

Mike also guessed the other party's intention, and his heart raced uncontrollably for a moment, "Alright, thank you for your generosity, sir."

It took him about five minutes to calm his emotions, then he began his exercises.

The sensitivity of the Wind Attribute allowed him to feel it immediately, "Cultivate directly with a B-level Crystal?"

Although he had vaguely guessed it, this surprise still interrupted his exercises.

"Hmm?" Jamaari hummed unhappily, "Don't get distracted, remember the feeling."

Mike hurriedly collected his thoughts, and after two minutes, resumed his exercises again.

He didn't know how long had passed when a voice coldly said, "That's enough."

Mike slowly finished his exercises, then stood up and, without removing his blindfold, bowed deeply towards the direction of the voice.

"Thank you, Master Jamaari, this kindness and virtue, I will never forget."

"Nothing to thank for," Jamaari coldly said, "Follow me."

After leaving that place, Mike removed his blindfold, and the first thing he said was,

"Thank you, sir, the Douglas Family is willing to pay a high price to acquire this Cultivation Method."

In his mind, the Inspector did these things in private to sell the Cultivation Technique for a high price.

The private transfer of Cultivation Methods is prohibited by Central City's regulations, but this Cultivation Method is clearly not obtained through orthodox means.

Even if the other party didn't allow its dissemination, it didn't matter; he could advance to B-level within ten years through this method.

Just resolving the family's crisis was worth it, regardless of the cost.

Jamaari glanced at him lightly, "Who told you to acquire it?"

Then he turned around and left slowly, "Remember to keep it confidential."

Mike stood there, stunned: Without saying anything? What on earth are you planning?

His mouth moved, wanting to speak, but in the end, he didn't dare to utter a word.

Yet, this discovery made him feel stranger the more he thought about it. After returning home, he couldn't help but seek advice from an elder in the family.

── Although Jamaari asked him to keep it confidential, within the family... it should be fine as long as it's not passed to a third person.

He consulted with an elder in the clan, a Water Attribute Warrior, knowledgeable and, most importantly, very wise.

The elder was also shocked after Mike explained, repeatedly asking him whether it might have been an illusion.

But an illusion... how could that be possible?

Not to mention that there are no Spiritual Attribute Warriors now, even if there were, Mike was most skilled in Perceptive Ability.

After finally being certain, the elder pondered, "Is this... a ploy to entice you and then sell at a high price?"

Mike also considered this possibility and could analyze it coolly, "That possibility exists, but it's unlikely!"

"Jamaari has a good reputation in this regard, and he's an Inspector; how greedy must one be to dare break the rules?"

"Don't assume anyone is good," the elder laughed indifferently.

"What kind of person he truly is, we need to thoroughly understand in private."

The elder's connections and networking capabilities were much stronger than Mike's, even having good relations with several B-level Warriors.

However, after inquiring for more than ten days, he also had to admit, "This Jamaari really is capable."

Mike heard this and couldn't conceal his disappointment, "So... that's it?"

"How can it just end like this?" The elder was also unwilling to give up... the family desperately needed B-level Warriors.

He pondered for a moment, "This Cultivation Method is unheard of, and it's in the rather niche Wind Attribute..."

"There's a good chance that Jamaari obtained it by accident and wants you to test its effectiveness."

"Since he's unwilling to sell, let's think of a way; see where he's been recently, and we'll find it ourselves."

It turned out the Inspector of the Earth Room was very busy, with movements throughout Central City.

The Douglas Clan had to investigate secretly, and it was a very arduous process.

The result was also clear, with multiple pieces of information concerning Jian Lei.

But when checking Jian Lei's information, it was "Mechanical Repair Consultant," which seemed unrelated to the Cultivation Method.

Moreover, Jian Lei resided in Central City, and such an unusual Cultivation Method was unlikely to appear there.

If it had, it would have been discovered long ago, not staying hidden until now.

Finally, someone discovered something unusual, "Last winter, Jamaari frequently traveled to the Celestial District!"

(First update, celebrating Master He Meng's cold-blooded animal, the jellyfish.) ——————

While the Douglas Clan secretly investigated Jamaari, Qu Jianlei was obliviously improving the Cultivation Method.

This day, the improvement of the Cultivation Technique went quite smoothly, but trying to make the next improvement, there wasn't enough time.

So, Black Panther left relatively early, and Qu Jianlei planned to stay in until dinner and then dine at a restaurant.

However, just as dusk fell and mealtime approached, there was a knock at the door.

The small courtyard had been nicely renovated; Qu Jianlei saw through the monitor that it was a teenager he didn't recognize.

So, he couldn't be bothered to go out. Instead, he asked directly through the intercom, "What is it?"

The teenager waved the envelope in his hand, "Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying you'd give me three silver coins."
