Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 534 A True Alchemy Monster!

It was only then that Mu Yuelan finally turned away.

"Zihan'er, follow me. I'll lead you to your alchemy room!"

Bai Zihan shrugged indifferently and trailed behind.

But-

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Yet another set of footsteps echoed from behind.

Mu Yuelan halted briefly.

She glanced over her shoulder.

Mu Linyue kept trailing after them.

Bai Zihan arched an eyebrow.

"You have your own room."

Mu Linyue didn't halt.

"I know!"

She replied steadily.

Her eyes stayed locked on Bai Zihan.

"Then why keep following me?"

Mu Linyue cocked her head a bit.

"Didn't you promise to guide this clueless junior? I want to learn even more!"

Bai Zihan's mouth corner jerked.

(Her face is truly thick-skinned...)

Mu Yuelan eyed the pair.

She chose not to meddle, despite not grasping what Mu Linyue hoped to pick up from Bai Zihan.

After all, she hadn't witnessed Bai Zihan crafting High-tier Grade-4 pills.

They reached the spot shortly.

Mu Yuelan came to a stop at the entrance.

She pressed the jade token gently to it.

Hum-

The entrance slid open.

A surge of thick Spiritual Qi poured outward.

Within lay a spotless alchemy chamber.

A superior furnace stood ready.

Several ingredients sat prepared.

Mu Yuelan moved aside.

"From now on, this serves as your alchemy room."

Bai Zihan strode inside without pause.

His gaze swept the interior swiftly.

Then came a nod.

"Not bad!"

Mu Linyue slipped in right after, acting like it was utterly normal.

Bai Zihan shot her a look... yet held his tongue.

Mu Yuelan spoke up next.

"Here!"

Mu Yuelan passed a storage ring to Bai Zihan, packed with alchemy ingredients, even those for Grade-5 and Grade-6 pills.

It belonged to her, and since she possessed plenty, parting with it posed no issue.

Though she doubted he'd require Grade-5 or Grade-6 supplies immediately, they were meant for later use.

Mu Linyue had her own stock, naturally. Being the daughter of the Mu Clan's Leader left her wanting for nothing in alchemy needs.

"Heed my words. Stay low-key."

With that, she pivoted and departed.

The door eased shut in her wake.

Sealing the chamber tight.

Leaving just the pair inside.

Bai Zihan whirled around.

"You're still lingering?"

Mu Linyue advanced.

Her eyes gleamed vividly.

"Keep going!"

She declared firmly.

"Craft another one."

A brief silence fell.

Then, in a gentler tone-

"I crave to witness more."

Bai Zihan regarded her intently for a beat.

Suddenly-

A sly grin crept across his face.

"Heh. Such impatience."

He faced the furnace again.

"Alright!"

With a sleeve sweep-

Flames erupted anew.

"Observe closely this round."

His tone brimmed with subtle assurance.

Armed with the provided materials, Bai Zihan held nothing back.

He dove right into forging a Grade-6 pill.

Mu Linyue's stare behind him grew keen.

***

An odd vibe enveloped the Mu Clan.

From outside, it seemed the whole clan had barred its gates in silence.

Guests got turned back.

Feasts got delayed.

Families on friendly terms with the Mu Clan saw their invites graciously refused.

Save for truly pressing affairs-

No visitors entered.

Even clan members unaware of Mu Linyue and Bai Zihan's doings felt baffled.

But within-

Thrill bubbled up.

Eager hope brewed among the informed.

Those who beheld that fateful day.

Those who viewed-

Mu Linyue and Bai Zihan.

Pair of Grade-4 Alchemists!

Freaks of nature!

Now and then, eyes wandered toward a remote corner of the grounds.

Where exclusive alchemy chambers hid.

Where-

For the last month-

The duo hadn't emerged.

Or better said...

One hadn't emerged.

The other?

Popped in and out regularly.

All knew the truth by now.

Mu Linyue had all but moved into Bai Zihan's alchemy chamber.

Initially, some felt shocked.

Then perplexed.

Eventually-

They grew accustomed.

For each time she went in-

Hours elapsed.

Days dragged on.

Occasionally even beyond.

And upon exiting-

Her gaze sparkled brighter, keener.

As though she'd seized fresh insight.

***

Within Bai Zihan's alchemy chamber-

Flames gradually faded.

A potent, unwavering aroma hung thick.

Bai Zihan removed the cover.

A single pill lay serene inside.

Its presence felt balanced.

A Fifth Grade Pill!

Bai Zihan eyed it fleetingly.

He skipped any prolonged appreciation.

Instead, he pivoted.

"Did you grasp it?"

He inquired.

Mu Linyue remained rooted behind.

Her eyes radiated light.

She nodded at once.

"I got it! As expected from Master!"

Bai Zihan's lips quirked faintly. Master...

This began a month prior.

On that initial day, refining a Grade-6 pill.

That instant, Mu Linyue fell utterly mute.

Struck dumb in awe.

Next-

She embraced the reality.

She paled utterly against Bai Zihan.

Rather than frustration or envy taking hold, her excitement only intensified.

From that instant forward-

She shadowed him closely.

Heeded his every word.

Observed in silence. Absorbed his teachings.

And Bai Zihan- Of course-

Seized the chance. "Call me Master!"

He uttered in jest.

Believing he could exact a small payback.

Just a tiny bit.

For all her earlier words.

Yet-

"Master!"

She complied right away, showing no trace of reluctance.

Gazing at Mu Linyue, it seemed she cared for nothing besides

mastering alchemy.

"Tch!"

Bai Zihan tsked softly.

Yet inwardly-

He truly didn't object.

For Mu Linyue was downright frightening.

A genuine prodigy!

Show her one technique, and she inferred ten more. Describe an idea-

And she developed it into a hundred.

Occasionally, even he found himself stunned, despite his Grade-8 alchemy

expertise.

Now he grasped why so many alchemists shied away from instructing her.

Not due to her lacking aptitude or a foul temper-

But because her brilliance overwhelmed her surroundings.

While crafting basic pills, her inquiries soared

far past their scope.

It resembled teaching-

"An apple falls because of gravity."

Only to face an instant query-

"If gravity bends space, then could we manipulate spatial curvature to alter

how matter falls-and if so, would that change the fundamental interaction between mass and energy?"

Absurd! Still-

She posed it as if utterly commonplace.

Thus, it made sense that nobody wished to instruct Mu Linyue. She could even force them to doubt their own skills and comprehension.

Bai Zihan managed to respond to most thanks to his Grade-8 alchemy

expertise.

Mu Linyue thrilled at last finding someone who flawlessly addressed her queries with sound logic.

Before, numerous mentors had quit on her-maybe overwhelmed by her endless questions.

Thus, she favored self-study.

Yet with Bai Zihan now-

It felt like possessing a real mentor to lead her path.

Mu Linyue never let him down either.

In just one month-

She surged to Grade-5 Alchemist.

An absolute alchemy freak!
