Chapter 6446 The Secret Department

Ves appreciated the craftsmanship of the Cultivation Method Department.

He and his mother were far from the only people who could formulate sound cultivation methods.

The Five Scrolls Compact had a much wider impact on human civilization than he expected. A lot of old families had stubbornly preserved old cultivation scriptures or even attempted to keep up their practice over the centuries.

Even though there was little use practicing these legacy cultivation methods in a low-energy environment, the old families continued to keep up this effort due to tradition and belief in the future.

Now that red humanity had entered the Age of Dawn, the scattered legacies of ancient cultivation had made a resurgence once again.

Ves did not know how, but the Red Collective successfully managed to attract enough cultivation experts to draft not one modern qi cultivation method in a year, but many more!

If they managed to whip up this much in a short amount of time, Ves looked forward to what they could produce in 5 or 10 years. The best cultivation methods should be a lot more effective at that time!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ves continued to chat a little more with Eliza about the cultivation methods available in the Repository.

"The RC Merit Exchange charges much lower prices to the members of the Collective." The woman explained. "This makes it much easier for us to practice the more effective and promising cultivation methods. However, we still have to satisfy other criteria in order to prove we can make good progress in them. Our talent, comprehension and ability to pay for the relevant cultivation resources must all be satisfactory before we are allowed to redeem a high-grade method,"

"I see. I take it that outsiders have to pay a lot more RC merits to gain access to these premium methods."

Eliza nodded. "The Red Collective must establish a dominant position in human society in the area of systematic cultivation. The Red Association continues to dominate in the area of mechs, and the Red Fleet maintains the largest and most powerful warfleets. If we cannot dominate in our own sphere, the public will not take us seriously anymore. This is why our current policies encourage us to practice more powerful methods right away, while encouraging the masses to start off with the weaker but also safer free curated cultivation methods."

This was a clever scheme. The collies were predominantly hired for their talent and compatibility with systematic cultivation, so they should have much less trouble getting started with mid-grade and high-grade cultivation methods.

Ordinary people tended to be a mixed bag in this regard. In order to avoid any waste in resources, it was better if the general public figured out where they stood by practicing the beginner cultivation methods first.

Not only would they be able to build a solid foundation that should significantly increase their fault tolerance, they could easily determine their overall talent and affinities by tracking their progression speed and reactions to different. E energy attributes.

While most of these folk should be able to earn enough RC merits to eventually redeem decent premium curated cultivation methods, the delay should be enough to give the collies a decisive head start!

"I take it that starting off with the more powerful cultivation methods right away is hard on you and your colleagues. Ves guessed. "Especially since many of you are still new and unfamiliar with systematic cultivation. How often does cultivation deviation take place among the collies?"

The female assistance's expression darkened. "More than we would like. The cultivation methods that are heavily derived from legacy samples tend to produce the most incidents. We have seen perfectly healthy and rational colleagues change overnight as they are overtaken by schizophrenia, crippling migraines, uncontrolled physical mutations, amnesia and brain death. This is despite the fact that we are directly imparted with the correct means to cultivate with the help of cultivation artifacts and classroom instructions."

"Every person is different. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't always work. Some cultivation methods need to be tweaked to suit the individual. Another factor that can play a role is that our modern understanding of ancient terms may be severely off. Translations are always imperfect. If you misinterpret a cultivation instruction, then the errors may be so significant that your entire practice suffers a critical flaw."

"I have heard those theories from other sources. The cultivation scientists have worked on this problem and subsequently implemented several targeted improvements that should have cut down the rate of incidents. Their effectiveness is not high enough, but severe injuries and deaths no longer happen as frequently as before."

Ves was not too interested in these teething problems. He just wanted to make sure that the death rate was not too exaggerated. He did not want to gamble with the lives of Raymond Billingsley-Larkinson and the other clansmen that would soon receive their invitations.

After Ves learned what he could from Eliza about the popular cultivation methods in the Repository, she eventually concluded her miniature lecture.

Once the Secret Keeper took his place, he suddenly reduced the intensity of his masking

effect, causing Eliza to become startled!

"Ah! You Secret Keepers never fail to surprise me with your sudden appearance trick.

The guards and I shall leave you with the chief councilor."

Eliza and the pair of Apocalypse Guardians standing guard inside the office made their way out, leaving Ves alone with an extremely sketchy individual who could potentially launch an assassination attempt against one of the most senior officials of the Red

Collective.

Once the door closed, the newcomer activated a command that automatically caused the office to lock down and activate a lot of privacy measures.

Ves also pushed the button to activate his new signal jammer. The interference field generated by this small device turned out to be a lot more powerful and comprehensive!

The signal jamming measures were so effective that they even managed to dampen his connection to the Larkinson Network and other spiritual entities!

Ves actually grew concerned about this effect. Was it strong enough to block the Blood

Pact and render the Carmine System ineffective?

Perhaps not. He clearly noticed that the super-class signal jammer was not able to cut

off his connections to his external incarnations.

He saw no need to share this particular secret.

While all of these measures caused the air in the main office to become thick and

charged with energies, Ves was still able to maintain his composure.

"Who may you be?" He asked. "Secret Keeper Closier-17. A completely flat and generic voice replied. "I bear some of

the secrets that you have been privileged to learn. Before I begin to share them with you, we must complete a ritual that monitors whether you have violated the rule that prohibits you from sharing our secrets to others without authorization. This measure may not be able to prevent you from doing this, but we will be able to detect the violation and take appropriate measures to remedy the issue."

That was pretty smart. Ves could already figure out multiple ways to circumvent any

measure designed to keep his mouth shut. Others could probably do the same. It was better to resort to the next-best option and simply monitor whether he had violated his oath of secrecy. It was much easier to detect such instances. "Very well. Please proceed. I am curious to learn what is truly going on in this dwarf

galaxy."
