Most of the problems within the Immortal Gate stem from a lack of spiritual energy.
Some issues, however, require even more spiritual energy to resolve.
Take resource issues, for example.
Foundation Establishment Trithings, Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Five Elements Golden Core Pill, Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, and other elixirs most concerned by the Immortal Sect disciples, due to the scarcity of medicinal herbs, can only impose various conditions to raise the threshold for exchange.
But if there were enough spiritual energy, then the major medicinal farms of the Immortal Gate could plant freely without the fear of wilting due to insufficient spiritual energy.
Even though the Immortal Gate has the technology to promote the growth of spiritual plants, medicinal herbs that take thousands or even tens of thousands of years can only wait for a prolonged period.
