Chapter 4952
- The Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, had a mansion in the Alchemy City of the Barren Land. They also had a shop downtown where they could sell medicinal herbs and Celestial Pills. The sect’s mansion and shop were given to them free of charge by the Barren Land. Needless to say, such a treatment was only given to the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions.
- The authorities of the Barren Land also arranged accommodations for sectless cultivators and small sects from various Celestial Kingdoms in the Six Southeastern Regions, but they would have to pay for them with Celestial Stones and Crystals. Naturally, the better the mansion was, the more Celestial Stones and Crystals one would have to pay. However, even the best mansion or residence available to these people were not comparable to the mansions and residence of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions. Apart from that, rent was also collected for the stalls provided to the small sects and sectless cultivators. The better the locations of the stalls, the higher the rent. The rent of a stall downtown was so expensive that most people simply could not afford it. Even if they could afford it, they might not be able to earn enough to cover the cost. For this reason, those who rented the stalls were outstanding mediocre Celestial Alchemists from small sects or without a sect.
- Occasionally, one would be able to see a sectless prominent Celestial Alchemist, but it was really rare. After all, prominent Celestial Alchemists were in high demand and could join any of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions. If they join a top sect, they would be able to enjoy superior cultivation environments and resources. Moreover, they would be given a lofty position as an elder. The top sects would not restrict their freedom, and they were free to join and leave at any time. All they needed to do was refine Celestial Pills for the sect during their stay in the sect. The medicinal herbs and ingredients needed were also provided by the sect. They were treated extremely well and generously rewarded most of the time. How could they not join a top sect? Only a few eccentric prominent Celestial Alchemists would choose to remain solitary and not join any sects.
