Because of his interest in their "produce," Yang Qing had read extensively about the Spirit Emerald Pod Kingdom, far more than the information contained in Duan Ting's slip. From his research, Yang Qing discovered a remarkable pattern: the kingdom consistently produced a palace realm expert approximately every thousand years. While the number of experts they produced at any given time was not particularly high, the consistency of their achievements was astounding.
With the kingdom's history spanning 68,000 years, this meant they had produced at least 68 palace realm experts. However, Yang Qing knew from additional records that the actual figure was closer to 130. Compared to the larger scale of the continent and the longevity of the kingdom, this might seem modest. But such an evaluation would miss the true brilliance of the Spirit Emerald Pod Kingdom—their unbroken consistency.
