Chapter 121: Networks

Right as Veronica finished speaking, Veronica moved her eyes over to Dave while remaining silent as she waited for Dave to reassure everyone that his information regarding Sebastian’s talisman crafting skills was correct.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Veronica’s action, Coril, Henry, and Damien also moved their eyes over to Dave.

With a frown on his face, Coril asked Dave, “Are you sure that your information is absolutely correct? Did you personally collect those information yourself, or did you paid someone to help you obtain those information on Sebastian?”

“Eh… I… Hah… hah…”

Faced with Coril’s question, an awkward look could be seen appearing on Dave’s face as he scratched onto his head with his right hand as he let out an awkward laugh to hide his awkwardness.

Upon seeing Dave’s reaction, Coril asked while with the corner of his mouth twitching, “You… don’t tell me… you got all these information from the dual cultivation department and didn’t bother doing anything on your part to confirm those information that you had obtained from the dual cultivation department…?”

Naturally, Dave didn’t collect the information regarding Sebastian’s background and information by himself.

Just as he had always did in the past years when he had recruited married-in sons-in-law into the Lisandris Family, he would pay the Bright Moon Sect’s dual cultivation department a decent amount of energy stones in exchange for the background and information of those married-in sons-in-law.

After all, most of the married-in sons-in-law that chose to join the families that were located within the Bright Moon City…

Most of the time, they would have first joined the dual cultivation department, so that they could obtain additional rewards when they managed to reproduce a descendant who possesses a spiritual root.

When the dual cultivation department accepted a cultivator into their department, not only would the dual cultivation department get the cultivator to fill in their information on a paper…

But the dual cultivation department itself would also furthermore do an intensive background check on the cultivator, to confirm that the cultivator didn’t fill in fake information, or that the cultivator wasn’t a spy from other sects that possessed bad ulterior motives for joining the dual cultivation department.

Because of the intensive network that the dual cultivation department has cultivated for the past 500 years, it normally would take less than an hour for the dual cultivation department to finish doing an intensive background check onto a cultivator who had just joined their dual cultivation department as a member.

This was one of the reasons why the families within the Bright Moon City would dare to accept all of the cultivators that wanted to join their families, so long as the cultivators had beforehand joined the dual cultivation department as members.

Of course, even if it was true that the cultivation families within Bright Moon City trusted the dual cultivation department’s capability and was rather certain that there was nothing wrong with the cultivators that joined their families, but sometimes, it would be best to still possess the information regarding the cultivators that they had just recruited into their families.

Thus, the cultivation families would pay the dual cultivation department a certain amount of energy stones in exchange for the information of the various cultivators that joined their families.

As for why the dual cultivation department wouldn’t just give those information to the cultivation families for free?

Well, at the end of the day, everyone had to eat, and the people that belonged to the dual cultivation department were no different too.

It was already more than enough that the dual cultivation department helped to provide a safe source for the cultivation families within the Bright Moon City to recruit married-in sons-in-law into their families.

Thus, if the cultivation families wanted a compiled information on the married-in sons-in-law that they had recruited into their families, it was only right that they would have to pay the dual cultivation department for it.

Of course, every cultivation family that were within the Middle District and Upper District possessed their own network that helps them to gather information, however, compared to the dual cultivation department’s network, none of the networks of the families that belonged in the Middle District could come close to the capability of the dual cultivation department’s network.

Thus, at the end of the day, the Middle District’s families were the ones that would buy those information from the dual cultivation department, while the Upper District’s families would use their own networks to do a further background check onto those married-in sons-in-law that they had recruited into their families.

Sure, the dual cultivation department was trustable, but there were a lot of “what if” that came with putting one’s complete trust on another party.

Therefore, if it was possible, it was best to depend on one’s own network, rather than others’ networks.

“Hah… hah…”

Upon being hit on the nail by Coril’s guess, Dave let out another awkward laugh while looking awkwardly at Coril.

Upon seeing Dave’s reaction, Coril knew that he was right with his guess, and immediately, Coril couldn’t help but begin breathing heavily as he grabbed onto his chest due to feeling that his heart was actually starting to hurt a little.

Though, in truth, Coril was just imagining the pain, there wasn’t any pain coming from his heart, it was merely the feeling of anger swelling up within his chest.

“You…!”

Right before Coril had began chiding at Dave, Dave hurriedly held his palms up at Coril, gesturing for Coril to hold on.

“Wait, wait! Grandpa, hear me out first!

Although it is true that I didn’t confirm the information that I had bought from the dual cultivation department, I have personally confirmed with my own eyes that Sebastian is indeed very close to breaking through to becoming an official talisman crafter!

Back then when I gave Sebastians a few tests to do, one of the tests that I gave to him was to get him to give me a demonstration of him crafting a fireball talisman…”
