Fifth Elder kept tracking the time.
He understood clearly that if these pill masters actually departed, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion would face complete dissolution.
This represented the Pavilion Master's life's work!

"You handled this well," the First Elder gave Fifth Elder's shoulder a pat.
Fifth Elder stayed quiet.
While both held elder positions, the First Elder served as the Law Enforcement Elder, wielding authority that Fifth Elder couldn't challenge.
Though the pill masters were momentarily pacified, they hadn't genuinely accepted the First Elder's leadership.
On top of the Pavilion Master Building.
The First Elder bounded up in a single leap.
He settled into the seat the Pavilion Master once used, stroking the vine chair gently, his expression revealing deep contentment.
