Although to the Cultivation World, human life is deemed worthless.
But if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can only be exchanged for thirty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones... well, those are top-grade Spirit Stones. As long as the cultivator has dual Spiritual Roots or above, thirty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones are sufficient to cultivate five to ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Therefore, for the sect that has lost a Foundation Establishment disciple, obtaining so many Spirit Stones as compensation from the Earth Cultivation World doesn't result in a loss.
Of course, all of this disregards the invisible value of the sect's reputation and prestige.
Under normal circumstances, sects like the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect, if their disciples encountered trouble in other parts of the Southern Domain, they would surely investigate the truth.
