In the cultivation world, not everyone cultivated. In terms of matters, ordinary people who had never cultivated were the majority. However, the lives of ordinary people in the cultivation world were not as good as those in the array world.
The magic technology in the realm of arrays was very advanced. Ordinary people could know what was going on outside just by sitting at home. As long as you were willing to work, you would live a good life even if you didn't cultivate.
However, it was different in the world of cultivators. Almost all the ordinary people here were controlled by the major sects. They couldn't plant things randomly. If a family had 10 mu of land, only 5 mu was under their control. As for the other 5 mu, they would plant whatever their sect asked them to plant without any autonomy. Of course, their sects didn't let them plant for free. They would be rewarded after they planted something. Furthermore, the rewards were usually not too low.
