Jiang Ding did not conceal himself on this first trip. He flew through the skies of the Northern Plains, inspecting its mountains, rivers, spirit veins, earth, and waterways.
From time to time, he descended to the ground, taking out array artifacts, ores, or spirit stones. His hands formed incantation seals as he arranged something.
After some time, cultivators from Tushan Central Court arrived and took over the affairs here.
At times, Jiang Ding flew to a fourth-grade spirit vein and paused within some Nascent Soul level sect. Regardless of the sect ancestor leading the entire sect to welcome him with the highest ceremony, he continued arranging something.
Sometimes he planted a tree. Sometimes he used great magical power to move mountain after mountain here, altering the earth veins.
At other times, he planned out a Spirit Medicine Garden here, or created a Spirit Beast Garden.
After Jiang Ding spent several years finishing the affairs of the Northern Plains, he flew to the Eastern Sea, Southern Border, and Western Desert, arranging many things and planning many industries in each place. These involved Spirit Medicine Gardens, spirit beast lakes, deep-sea aquaculture currents, deep-sea plantations, deep-mountain mines, and more.
These were the Void Refinement industries he was arranging for this Minor World.

It might simply take longer.
But when combined with the Immortal Sect's more scientific and efficient nurturing methods, its output might perhaps surpass that of the Jiao Ming Domain's Minor World, with a shorter required time.
