The Zhou Family's annihilation was not a small matter, and it was like a bucket of cold water poured over the auction, which dampened a lot of enthusiasm.
There were many cultivators who chose to leave, as no one wanted to bring about their own destruction for no reason at all.
But still, many people stayed.
This time of the year was when Foundation Establishment Pills appeared the most, and they couldn't give up on their own journey.
Cultivation was never a smooth sailing, and it was bound to encounter some hardships.
However, the market had obviously cooled down, with people waiting for the auction and actively reducing other activities.
Moreover, the black market in the shantytown was directly canceled.
Even if it meant making less spirit stones, they weren't going to cause trouble voluntarily, giving off the impression that they were shutting down from now on. It was obvious that the well-informed people already knew the reason behind the Zhou Family's demise.
