Experiments within the New Moon Realm were exactly like this—they used cultivators' experiences with Heavenly Tribulations to find the most appropriate data and through this, gain insight into the mysteries of their cultivation techniques.
Indeed, if a particular cultivation technique was practiced frequently, recording it was not a difficult task at all—in fact, this was the fundamental reason why sects valued such things so highly.
On the surface, the Spiritual Leaf Sect appeared to be quite righteous, but in reality, they extensively collected all kinds of materials and secret manuals of cultivation techniques. In a sense, this practice was also an established convention.
Other sects were also doing similar things to a greater or lesser extent.
The only difference was that the Spiritual Leaf Sect conducted its activities more secretly under the guise of business, while other sects openly killed and looted for such resources.
