The group did not follow Alice as she visited her family, they felt she should be allowed to spend some family time with them. While she was with her family, Grey and the others toured the City, even though it was not the first time they were coming to this City, it was completely different from the last time. There was not only an increase in cultivation of the overall population, but even the items on sale saw an increase in quality, which was to be expected.
Just like humans, the quality of treasures are determined by the quality of the essence in the place they formed. Take Grey and his friends for instance, the moment they left the Azure Continent, it was like they received a baptism, growing at shocking speed. Even for people in the Aurora Continent, the speed of Grey and his friends could only be described as shocking.
