Exactly at dawn, Liam and Grace returned outside to resume their respective tasks.
An even bigger crowd greeted that return. More people had joined the audience, attracted by the promise of easy earnings and dirt-cheap alchemical products, creating logistical issues.
The valley was vast, but around a hundred people had amassed in front of Grace's shop, ignoring the fighting platforms altogether, which that specific area wasn't exactly meant to accommodate.
That wasn't even the end. The cultivators who had arrived during the night or that morning weren't limited to the crowd. More had settled on the valley's slopes, the fights not claiming their gazes even once.
In total, the valley had to have three hundred cultivators now, which was unthinkable for Liam's previous neighborhood.
