Did Zhuang Country also need to pay tribute in the past?
As a vassal state, to offer tribute to Jinguo?
Powerful countries captured members of the Demon clan, then distributed them to various smaller countries.
The smaller countries would establish beast nests, cultivate Fierce Beasts, and use the Demon clan as raw materials to catalyze monstrous beasts. They would then extract the Dao veins to refine Channel-opening Pills and offer a portion of the proceeds as tribute to the larger nations.
In this way, the system cycle of the Channel-opening Pills was formed.
The large countries actually controlled the smaller ones silently through this system.
There was a very direct inference, Fierce Beasts had an essential requirement for growth, which was that they must experience combat with the Human Race.
