The central area of the Blue Spring sect was divided into multiple sections. Towards the southern end, where Alex and Ma Tianxin were entering from, there were houses there for the Core disciples.
The land was rather large, so there was more than enough place for all 4000 to 5000 of the disciples to stay in.
Other than the disciples, there was a rather tall tower at the center where the elders were most likely to stay.
Then, the rest of the land was either open ground for the disciples to train in or some sort of beast ground where untamed beasts were kept for disciples to tame.
These included beasts that were taken from the Demonic forest, beasts that were born here, or beasts that improved their cultivation faster than their masters and thus broke their bonds of their own accord.
There were also beasts that were there because their master had died, but they were far too few and in between to be considered in the populous.
