Time slipped quietly by as Fan Shou and the others waited anxiously.
Five days later, a cultivator intentionally passing by the Alchemy Room suddenly saw its tightly closed doors thrown wide open, his heart skipping a beat as he immediately looked over.
However, upon seeing the expressions on Elder Li and the others, the cultivator couldn't decipher anything from their faces.
Elder Li and company looked completely calm, no different from usual.
"Looks like the outcome wasn't as good as expected."
He thought to himself, quickly turning and leaving.
But he didn't realize, this move made him look suspicious in the eyes of Elder Li and the others.
"I know that kid, I think he's called Ma Nian."
Elder Li watched his departing figure, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
With all these Elders here, and yet he pretended not to see them—if that's not guilty conscience, what is?
The other Elders had more or less the same idea, keeping that cultivator Ma Nian in mind.
