Barbaric Land was once a wilderness, but that was many years ago.
The name "Barbaric Land" refers to a time when that area was truly wild and barely touched by humans. Eventually, it was developed by a certain dynasty and gradually became prosperous, reportedly even serving as the capital of that dynasty.
However, even after being developed, the name "Barbaric Land" was not changed.
The region had many forests and swamps and, before Shuzhou underwent its strange change, it was just like Miao State—a land abundant in Spiritual Medicine. Nearly all major forces had their branches here just to harvest these medicines.
As such, although it bears the prefix "Barbaric," it is actually quite thriving.
Those powers did not mind managing a place rich in Spiritual Medicine.
Even when Shuzhou experienced anomalies, they did not give up on Barbaric Land.
