Longevity Pavilion.
As one of the only two top forces in the Northern Territory, Longevity Pavilion was actually stronger than the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
Even ten thousand years ago, they occupied an important level within Xuanyuan Sword Sect, similar to Xuanyuan Sword Sect's Pill Pavilion.
However, in contrast to the ostentatious Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, Longevity Pavilion was very low-key, hardly ever conflicting with neighboring forces. Even the way they ruled their subordinate forces was through resource monopolization, by turning them into elixirs and Dao Artifacts for sale to gain profit.
This approach was undoubtedly much gentler compared to forces like the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect.
At least after the subordinate forces delivered various resources, they would receive corresponding rewards.
Some rewards might even be greater than the gain they would get from improperly handling the resources.
