Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Zachary entered a pill refining room with Fabian and the others. As soon as they arrived, a crowd of inner disciples of the Dignified Supernal Sect showed up, filling up the room. Obviously, they had caught the news of the competition between Zachary and Fabian, so they all came to watch.
