Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 537 The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill

The Bai Clan-

As steady and imposing as ever.

Nothing seemed to have changed on the surface.

Yet the moment Bai Zihan stepped through the gates-

Several gazes subtly shifted toward him.

His absence for over a month had not gone unnoticed. Yet it wasn't uncommon as one might go into seclusion for years.

Bai Zihan walked calmly through the clan grounds as if returning from a casual stroll.

Before long, he arrived at the inner courtyard.

Where a familiar figure stood.

Bai Tianheng!

Hands behind his back.

Gaze deep and contemplative.

As if he had already been waiting.

"You're back!"

His voice was steady.

Bai Zihan nodded.

"Mmm..."

Bai Tianheng glanced at him briefly.

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.

"Since you're back... it's time to resume your training. To become the next Clan Leader, you cannot afford to slack."

Bai Zihan didn't respond.

He simply stood there quietly.

(Well, looks like my little vacation is over!)

Bai Zihan thought.

Initially he thought that refining pills would be extremely boring but was proven wrong.

Although a bit repetitive, one could always improve with a bit of adjustment. Not to mention, he also added various flavors to the pills.

The most proud creation of his was the 'Cola' Flavored pills.

Although it lacks the frizzness of the drink, its taste was 80 percent that of Coca Cola.

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.

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.

Bai Tianheng exhaled slowly.

A faint sigh escaped him.

"The time has also come..."

He muttered under his breath.

"For me to attempt a breakthrough."

His eyes turned distant.

From the Great Ascension Realm-

To the Immortal Realm.

A single step-

Yet like the difference between heaven and earth.

Then he shook his head slightly.

"If only I had a Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill..."

His tone carried faint regret.

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.

But such pills... only the Vermillion Pill Empire has them in the entire Eastern Region.

And they're always in low supply while demand is extremely high.

Everyone in the Eastern Region desired to obtain one, especially those

preparing to break through to the Immortal Realm.

The Vermillion Pill Empire knew just how precious they were and sold them at

extremely high prices-

Yet no one complained.

Those at the Great Ascension Realm did not lack wealth.

To increase their chances of reaching the Immortal Realm, they were willing to

pay any price.

Not to mention-

If one failed to resist the Heavenly Tribulation...

They would lose their life.

In that sense, the Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill was more of a life-saving

treasure.

Thus, even at exorbitant prices, people would still fight to obtain one.

However, the Vermillion Pill Empire did not sell them openly like other pills.

Instead, they held auctions once every year, maximizing their profit.

Knowing that his time to break through was approaching, Bai Tianheng had attempted to obtain one before-

But ultimately failed.

(The Vermillion Pill Empire seemed wary of the Desolate Heaven Empire.)

Bai Tianheng thought.

As the Clan Leader of Bai Clan, he didn't lack money to exchange for The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill.

But recently, it has become difficult to obtain one especially for those in the Desolate Heaven Empire.

He inquired and found out that he wasn't the only one but many others from

the Desolate Heaven Empire.

It was understandable!

Selling more The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill to Desolate Heaven Empire meant increase of Immortal Realm Cultivator for Desolate Heaven

Empire.

Since they don't want the Desolate Heaven Empire to have more Immortal Realm experts, they naturally would avoid selling it to them.

But well, it wasn't like the Vermillion Pill Empire had completely stopped selling

them since they were the biggest profit for their Empire.

He would have to wait for the next auction and try his luck again.

But his cultivation could not wait indefinitely.

It seemed he would have to enter seclusion and gather every treasure he could

to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation without the pill.

Bai Zihan heard his father's murmur.

He remembered that among the pill recipes he had given to the Mu Clan, there

was one that helped resist the Heavenly Tribulation-

And its effect was even superior to the Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill of

the Vermillion Pill Empire.

Considering the abilities of the Mu Clan elders, Bai Zihan didn't think they would need long before producing such pills.

Bai Zihan spoke.

"Father!"

Bai Tianheng glanced at him.

"Give it a few days. Perhaps the Mu Clan can refine one for you."

Bai Tianheng froze for a brief moment.

Then he shook his head with a faint smile.

He thought that Bai Zihan didn't fully understand. The Heavenly Tribulation Tempering Pill was a Grade-7 pill.

Without a Grandmaster Alchemist, it was impossible to refine. Not to mention, the Mu Clan didn't even possess such a recipe.

But even so, a small smile still appeared on his face.

At least his son was thinking about him.

That alone was enough.

"I too wish for that!"

Bai Tianheng said jokingly. He then turned and began to leave.

"Prepare yourself! We will continue your training."

His figure slowly walked away.

Behind him, Bai Zihan stood quietly.

His expression unchanged.

(They should have started by now.)

Bai Zihan genuinely believed that it would only take a few days before the

entire Desolate Heaven Empire welcomed its first Grandmaster Alchemists. And he knew very well-

That this might also set something into motion across the entire region.

He couldn't wait for that!
