Xiong Youshan sent out the news, and many forces breathed a sigh of relief... At last, the crafting had resumed. They no longer had to pine for it day and night.
In truth, most of the forces waiting had not participated in the bounty hunt. Many simply thought: you sell, I buy; the price is clearly stated, and neither side owes the other anything... As for the bounty hunt, I'll join if I want to. If I don't, you can't force me, can you?
Many cultivators were just this indifferent. It had originally been a business relationship, and no one liked trouble, so why drag so many other factors into it?
Of course, everyone found Extreme Spirit appealing, and there were very few who did not want the bounty. But if they wanted it... they first had to possess the strength for it.
Even the Xiong Clan had suffered. Those weaker than the Xiong Clan had no need to join in the excitement, right? They truly could not withstand that kind of turmoil.
Those stronger than the Xiong Clan might not necessarily be willing to stir things up either. Take the Ji Clan, for example. If they had not reassessed Liba Beach and discovered that Xuanyuan Buqi had been staying there all along, they might very well have stayed out of it... Did it sound as though the Ji Clan was short a few pieces of Extreme Spirit?
No matter what, Liba Beach did not care who had participated and who had not. Their willingness to continue crafting magical treasures was a good thing.
Some people even wanted to ask how far the Xiong Clan's pursuit of the culprit had gone. Everyone's information channels were fairly decent, but some had refrained from asking at all in order to avoid suspicion.
