Those who attended this grand auction, not to mention the Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the Qi Refining cultivators were seasoned veterans of the cultivation world. After spending a certain amount of their spirit stones and acquiring one or two items they desired, they quietly began to leave one by one.
Jaekyung suspected that Myeong-ha had intentionally arranged the auction order this way. Perhaps it was a form of consideration, allowing them to leave on their own before being targeted by formidable seniors.

No matter how many he swatted down on sight, it would only be quiet for a moment before more crawled out from somewhere.
