satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a single month, raising someone from Grade-4 to Grade-5 Alchemist-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he had to admit-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was also thanks to his teaching as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue's own talent was terrifying to the extreme but without him, she would have taken a very long time to make a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had pointed the direction and she had walked the path herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And walked it faster than anyone he had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, there was nothing more for him to do here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose in the Mu Clan had already been fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he had only considered staying for a few days to test his ability but ended up staying for over a month because of Mu Linyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think it was a bad investment though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Mu Linyue's talent, in the future, she would certainly surpass everyone and might stay at the peak of alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he didn't need to worry about not getting any pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time to return to the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, however, Bai Zihan made one final decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his storage, several Seventh Grade pill recipes appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from refining pills and teaching Mu Linyue, he had also been spending his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>time writing down the recipes for the Grade-7 pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an alchemist to break into Grade-7, talent alone was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill alone was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even resources alone were not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One crucial element determined everything: Recipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a proper Seventh Grade pill recipe-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most talented alchemist would be stuck at the threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to take that final step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was precisely what limited the Mu Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they lacked were the paths forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan also spent time determining which pill recipes to give, as not every one of them was useful nor were their ingredients found in the Desolate Heaven Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he decided on 10 Grade-7 pill recipes, which should be more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those, it would only be a matter of time before the Mu Clan inevitably produced Seventh Grade Alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their standing would rise once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their influence would expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their foundation in alchemy would become even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the Eastern Region, only the Vermillion Pill Empire has Grandmaster Alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the final thing he was going to do before leaving the Mu Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan arrived outside the alchemy room without much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been called by Bai Zihan, so naturally, she came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand and pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation rippled slightly as she entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the flames burned steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan stood beside the furnace, expression calm, posture relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue stood opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a student listening to her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan blinked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Since when did they become like this?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, she felt a bit relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them getting along like this was something she hadn't expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given their personalities, she had thought there would be conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, they were helping each other in alchemy, which she thought was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze naturally shifted toward the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right on time, Mu Linyue lifted the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich fragrance spread instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan's brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This aura...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue reached in and took the pill out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the moment everything froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils shrank violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire body went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pill rested in Mu Linyue's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-tier... Fifth Grade Pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, Mu Yuelan thought she was seeing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind blanked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze locked onto that pill, unable to move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Mid-tier... Grade-5?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a month ago, Mu Linyue had only just broken through to Grade-4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with her talent-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with her monstrous comprehension-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed was absolutely absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her eyes, thinking she saw wrong and that perhaps it was a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-tier Grade-4 pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the scene before her remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Bai Zihan glanced at the pill casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was as casual as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it wasn't anything worth making a fuss over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've stabilized it well. Your control over the flame is better now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was also as calm as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if this result was expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if this was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That calmness...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That indifference...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan stood there-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind struggling to process what she had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(She broke through?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(No... This isn't just a breakthrough...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(She's already refining mid-tier Grade-5 pills?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers trembled slightly. She didn't even realize it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan's gaze shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he noticed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Mother, you've come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was casual, as if nothing unusual had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then waved his hand lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mu Linyue, go back to your room and practice more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked out calmly-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if everything that had just occurred was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan's voice suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop acting like everything is normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Bai Zihan and Mu Linyue paused. Even Bai Zihan was slightly startled. He blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, what's wrong?\" He asked, genuinely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes locked onto Mu Linyue. \"When did you break through to Grade-5?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Linyue tilted her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't remember exactly... Maybe about a week ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she was talking about something insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the exact time didn't matter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein faintly throbbed on her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A week ago?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A headache crept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a hand and pressed her temple lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to calm herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This girl...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through to Grade-5 Alchemist-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And treating it like nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even reporting it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan exhaled slowly. She forced herself to settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter needed to be discussed with the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Mu Linyue needed to be properly reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such breakthroughs were not trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't be ignored so casually.
