"That's not quite the case. The two lower-grade mystic realms are still pretty good. One of them is already about as good as an ordinary mid-grade mystic realm, so there's no problem using it as a mid-grade one." Wei Geng reassured me.
"Mystic realms are better in greater numbers, right? How can we set up mystic realms within the branch academies?" I immediately asked.
"Hehe, most mystic realms lie above large earth-spirit veins. Some even have ore veins protruding directly from the surface. Thus, the strength of the earth-spirit vein directly affects the mystic realm's inherent and renewable resources. We find these places in advance, protect them by setting up a potential-field barrier, and then connect them to our academy with teleportation arrays. That forms a mystic-realm gate. After an overall inspection and assessment of the potential field—for instance, our academy will do everything possible to protect inherent resources and avoid catastrophic damage, like Dao Tian Mentor's catastrophic excavation of the Cursing Spirit Ore in Crying Spirit Lake, or the sweeping plunder of the third layer, which brought accusations from the various branch academies. Although the outcome hasn't been decided, we had originally decided to offset your merits against your faults. Who would have thought the vice dean of the Extreme Spirit Academy would make such a commotion? That was why, after discussion, we decided not to pursue the matter any further." Wei Geng looked at me earnestly.

I gave an awkward smile. *This really was a high-end setup. They found a blessed location, fenced it off, and then connected it to the academy as an entrance and exit route, turning it into a training ground for the
