The Mu Clan settlement.
It was situated just beyond the ranges of the Blue Steam Mountain.
Superior clans within the Dragon Blossom Sect were granted authority to establish settlements, so as to keep them close to the sect.
This arrangement ensured that any disciple aspiring to join the sect would have the opportunity to do so, with their rank sometimes influenced by gender. Other clan settlements, like the Su Clan settlement previously overseen by Su Meirong but now feared for the presence of her nephew, Grandmaster Lin Feng, Chief of the Thunder Cloud Summit, also existed.
Even sects were permitted to have their own settlements, such as the Azure Lotus Sect.
Ultimately, such growth benefitted the matriarchs.
At the heart of the Mu Clan settlement lay the Golden Immortal Rice Fields, a vast expanse of shimmering golden grains swaying gently in the breeze.
