Zhou Heng immediately thought of a question: why hadn't the powerful families of Bright Moon Country intervened?
To say that Spirit Cores held no attraction for the powerful families of Bright Moon Country was something Zhou Heng found utterly unbelievable.
It was Orchid Concubine, the "noble-born" heiress of a powerful family, who cleared up his confusion. There were two reasons: First, each country had considerable autonomy, and this was a rule jointly established by the three great families of Bright Moon Country.
Therefore, even the Wind Howl Sect, backing Cold Blue Country, dared not openly violate it, and the same was true for the powerful backers behind the other three countries.
Second, the probability of finding a Spirit Core within that vein was pitifully small.
Nature's spiritual energy was not evenly distributed, but rather, the closer to the center of the continent, the denser the spiritual energy became, then progressively thinner as one moved farther away.
