The Heavenly Derivation Sect.
With a calm expression, Yan Yun led Chu Xingchen and the others toward Qingzhi Peak.
As for Sandong's request to plant trees and spirit plants, Yan Yun did not agree outright, instead saying that all spirit plants and spirit trees they wanted to plant would have to be evaluated first.
If the things were normal, planting them would be no problem. If they were not, they simply would not pass the evaluation.
The Heavenly Derivation Sect did occupy a considerable area, but little of it went unused. This was not simply because the sect had many people, but because once its development brought it sufficient resources, it naturally began expanding into other pursuits.
Alchemy, artifact refining, healers, formation masters, and so on, for instance.
Things unrelated to their own cultivation also came into focus. Whether disciples intended to delve deeply into these paths or merely dabble as a hobby, they naturally needed dedicated grounds to experiment on.
Otherwise, as the sect leader, a peak lord, or an elder, you would find a scene of flourishing life and all things vying to thrive on a single peak.
The cultivators practicing alchemy complained that the artifact refiners made enough noise to shake the heavens, with intense surges of spiritual energy disturbing their concentration every so often.
The artifact refiners, meanwhile, complained that the alchemists reeked of stale medicinal herbs.
Those on the peak who liked growing spirit plants would come knocking to make trouble for the alchemists-did you pull up my spirit plants to make pills?
That picture of unity truly resembled the bright moon in a stinking ditch-it looked quite lovely from afar, but take just a few steps closer, and it was both foul and fragile.
The solution to this was naturally extremely simple.
