"The Bi Xie Empire just like ours is filled with countless spots filled generously with the dao from spirit veins to treasured grounds and natural treasures. While most were in the control of the royal family and the other aristocratic families, some remained without owners and grew into uncharted areas filled with all manner of wild and rare resources that thrived in that solitude where a system of its own was established.
I managed to sneak into one, though it was rude of me I admit, but I couldn't believe my eyes at the wealth of resources I saw just laying there unclaimed. Resources that would drive the majority of the world to greedy madness just lay there. I couldn't believe it. There was radiant star fruit, an ascendant-grade fruit that can help a cultivator establish firm foundations and directly leap from a mortal to the peak of the core formation realm in a single day,
The dao enlightenment midnight rose which just the leaves can help a cultivator touch on the mysteries of the dao irrespective of their talent or their comprehension levels. A flower like this would definitely make those at the peak of the palace realm go mad with envy as it could deepen their foundations in preparation for a breakthrough to the domain realm.
Hundreds of profound purple sky metal lodes whose quality would make the hands of any gold-grade blacksmith itch with great anticipation, green jade fires, and amber earth flames that would be the delight of any alchemist and herbalist worth their salt.
I could not believe how such a place remained occupied, up until I went to several more unclaimed areas, and found out they were just as rich. I was even half tempted to claim one for myself. I came to realize how grossly I had underestimated its wealth, it was to the point that it even moved my heart, me, a person who once thought himself unmoved by anything other than the profundities of the dao. Even ascetic monks would feel their hearts waver from such a sight of absurd opulence.
Filled with the question, why, just why weren't there sects established here, when they could use the wealth here to establish foundations that would last a lifetime, roaming around, I finally found the answer.
"T.hreee...three? he said three?" muttered Yang Qing in shock as he reread the scroll over and over to confirm he wasn't hallucinating.
"It's three.." he added in disbelief after confirming what he read was indeed so.
"What golden luck did this empire have to be able to casually give out three saint-grade treasures to someone who isn't even from there.." Yang Qing said as he gritted his teeth in envy.
He stayed dazed for a short while before his look turned bitter and resentful as he looked around them.
"Why can't they be like them?" he softly said before he continued with some sense of apprehension, afraid that the author would mention other outlandish things he received during his tenure as dean in that academy.
