Jingming Peak was a small mountain several hundred meters high on White Camel Ridge, less than fifty li from the ridge's main peak. It originally possessed a Tier 2 Mid-grade Natural Spirit Vein, which the Chen Lineage had now nurtured into a Tier 3 low-grade one, capable of supporting the cultivation of two or three Foundation Establishment Cultivators and over a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators.
