In the beginning, everyone's abilities were suppressed, reducing them to ordinary people. That was why they followed Jared and Catalina.
Now that they had regained their capabilities, it was unlikely that those people would continue to listen to them obediently.
If we discover a magical item now, using the auction method would clearly be unsuitable. There'd definitely be a mad scramble for it. It appears that Catalina's master had long since understood human nature, which is why he set up this restriction.
Just as the pair were about to go search for the others, over a dozen auras suddenly rushed in their direction.
In the blink of an eye, Cloud and his companions arrived, each of them looking excited.
“Mr. Chance, we got them back. We've all regained our strength!” Cloud said to Jared.
“I already know. I've also regained my powers,” Jared said with a smile. He even stole a glance at Catalina.
She turned her face to the side, not daring to look at the others.
“Now, we can thoroughly search the Celestial Battlefield. Now that we have our powers, we don't need to be afraid anymore,” said the elderly man from the group cultivators.
“Indeed. We've regained our capabilities, so there's nothing to fear. However, we've used quite a lot of spiritual stones along the way,” a bearded cultivator remarked before glancing at Catalina.
The meaning implied was clear. Now that their strength had been restored, they wanted to reclaim the spiritual stones.
When the other cultivators saw that, they also turned to look at her, hostility starting to appear in their eyes.
When they had been suppressed, all of them had complied obediently. However, the moment they regained their strength, they were quick to show their true colors.
Such was human nature!
In the Ethereal Realm, power was the ultimate currency.
