The first upgrade track did not disappoint. It granted Ves and other people a much easier pathway to mastering the five elements.
Ves had a considerable need for help in this area. His mother likely possessed a lot of expertise in the five elements, but she had consistently refused to teach him her secrets, using a variety of excuses to keep him in the dark.
The Red Collective and the T Institute both mastered a lot of knowledge in ancient and modern cultivation science, but the problem was that their libraries were not complete and systematic enough.

The cultivation research institutions were lacking in advanced and high-end cultivation theories.
This was why vital legacies that used to play a big role in ancient times still hadn't been recovered.
