Yet it wasn't uncommon as one might go into seclusion for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan walked calmly through the clan grounds as if returning from a casual stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he arrived at the inner courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where a familiar figure stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaze deep and contemplative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had already been waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng glanced at him briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already informed of Bai Zihan's stay at the Mu Clan, though he didn't expect Bai Zihan to remain there for over a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're back... it's time to resume your training. To become the next Clan Leader, you cannot afford to slack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan didn't respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Well, looks like my little vacation is over!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially he thought that refining pills would be extremely boring but was proven wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a bit repetitive, one could always improve with a bit of adjustment. Not to mention, he also added various flavors to the pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most proud creation of his was the 'Cola' Flavored pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it lacks the frizzness of the drink, its taste was 80 percent that of Coca Cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the efficiency of the pill dropped by 10 percent which Bai Zihan thought wasn't much if those tasteless pills could taste so good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, there was also the problem that refining such pills made it much harder to achieve those qualities, but with Bai Zihan's Grade-8 alchemy skill, it wasn't difficult-especially since he was refining pills of a lower grade than what he was capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sigh escaped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The time has also come...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For me to attempt a breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Great Ascension Realm-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single step-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet like the difference between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only I had a Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried faint regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill was a Grade-7 pill capable of greatly increasing the chances of breaking into the Immortal Realm by assisting one's body in resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such pills... only the Vermillion Pill Empire has them in the entire Eastern Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they're always in low supply while demand is extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Eastern Region desired to obtain one, especially those\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>preparing to break through to the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vermillion Pill Empire knew just how precious they were and sold them at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>extremely high prices-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those at the Great Ascension Realm did not lack wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To increase their chances of reaching the Immortal Realm, they were willing to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pay any price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one failed to resist the Heavenly Tribulation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would lose their life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that sense, the Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill was more of a life-saving\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even at exorbitant prices, people would still fight to obtain one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Vermillion Pill Empire did not sell them openly like other pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they held auctions once every year, maximizing their profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that his time to break through was approaching, Bai Tianheng had attempted to obtain one before-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(The Vermillion Pill Empire seemed wary of the Desolate Heaven Empire.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Clan Leader of Bai Clan, he didn't lack money to exchange for The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But recently, it has become difficult to obtain one especially for those in the Desolate Heaven Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inquired and found out that he wasn't the only one but many others from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Desolate Heaven Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was understandable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selling more The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill to Desolate Heaven Empire meant increase of Immortal Realm Cultivator for Desolate Heaven\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they don't want the Desolate Heaven Empire to have more Immortal Realm experts, they naturally would avoid selling it to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But well, it wasn't like the Vermillion Pill Empire had completely stopped selling\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>them since they were the biggest profit for their Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to wait for the next auction and try his luck again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his cultivation could not wait indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he would have to enter seclusion and gather every treasure he could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation without the pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan heard his father's murmur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that among the pill recipes he had given to the Mu Clan, there\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was one that helped resist the Heavenly Tribulation-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And its effect was even superior to the Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Vermillion Pill Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the abilities of the Mu Clan elders, Bai Zihan didn't think they would need long before producing such pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give it a few days. Perhaps the Mu Clan can refine one for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng froze for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that Bai Zihan didn't fully understand. The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill was a Grade-7 pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a Grandmaster Alchemist, it was impossible to refine. Not to mention, the Mu Clan didn't even possess such a recipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, a small smile still appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least his son was thinking about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I too wish for that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng said jokingly. He then turned and began to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare yourself! We will continue your training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure slowly walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Bai Zihan stood quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(They should have started by now.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan genuinely believed that it would only take a few days before the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>entire Desolate Heaven Empire welcomed its first Grandmaster Alchemists. And he knew very well-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That this might also set something into motion across the entire region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait for that!\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-05-28T18:17:28.844Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","3448fa83572d200a4dd0254c3df4f6a75fb0f734293546fda9586678792f661e","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-538","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-536",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
