Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 541 Celebration Of A New Grandmaster

The Celebration Day for Mu Tianxuan becoming a Grandmaster Alchemist was set two months after his breakthrough.

Within that period, the news about Mu Tianxuan becoming a Grade-7 Alchemist had spread throughout.

Within the Desolate Heaven Empire, there was no one who didnʼt know about this big news.

But it did not stop at the Desolate Heaven Empire.

All the neighboring empires had also received the news and were equally stunned.

Reactions varied for each empire.

Those who maintained neutral or friendly relations with the Desolate Heaven Empire were mostly pleased.

They even felt excited.

Because it meant the end of the Vermillion Pill Empireʼs monopoly over Grade-7 Pills.

They might no longer need to pay absurd prices for Grade-7 pills.

Well, it might take time, but obviously there should be a reduction in price since the Vermillion Pill Empire no longer has a monopoly.

On the other hand, those who held hostility toward the Desolate Heaven Empire found themselves conflicted.

Since the Desolate Heaven Empire was their rival, its increase in strength was not very good news.

And yet, even for them, the breaking of a monopoly held undeniable appeal. After all, unless they have a special relationship with the Vermillion Pill Empire, everyone has to pay those exorbitant prices for Grade-7 Pills.

Meanwhile, at the heart of it all-

The Mu Clan was preparing for the upcoming celebration.

For two months, they spared no effort.

Since they were an alchemy clan, they lacked no money and spent lavishly to prepare for what might be the biggest event in their clanʼs history.

Everyone knew that the upcoming celebration wouldnʼt just be a simple celebration.

Not to mention, the list of guests included every powerhouse in the empire and also those outside the empire.

And that was precisely why the celebration was delayed by two months.

Preparation alone required time.

But that was not the only reason.

***

The day of the event had finally come.

The Mu Clan territory had never seen such a sight.

The skies, once vast and serene, were now filled.

Massive flying ships drifted across the heavens, one after another, casting enormous shadows over the land below.

The people beneath could not help but look up.

Again and again!

Each arrival drew gasps.

Each insignia stirred recognition.

”Look! Thatʼs the Imperial Familyʼs insignia!”

A voice rang out from the crowd, filled with shock.

Heads turned instantly.

A colossal ship, far grander than the rest, cut through the sky with absolute authority.

Golden patterns shimmered along its hull.

Dragon motifs coiled across its structure.

Its mere presence demanded reverence.

And that was only one among many.

Today, they had witnessed things they would never forget.

Top powerhouses!

Existences that most would never see even once in their lifetime.

And yet, here they were.

Arriving one after another.

And everyone knew why.

Meanwhile, inside the Mu Clan territory, the atmosphere was even more

intense.

Servants rushed about tirelessly.

Their movements were quick and precise. Not a single moment was wasted.

They carried trays filled with exquisite dishes.

Rare spiritual fruits.

Fine wines that released rich aromas even from afar.

Every guest was treated with utmost care.

Streams of refreshments flowed without end.

At the same time, soft music filled the air.

The musicians played with complete focus, weaving together a beautiful

harmony that echoed across the grand halls.

Each note blended seamlessly into the next.

Creating an atmosphere both refined and majestic.

Graceful dancers moved in rhythm.

They captivated the attention of many guests, adding life and vibrance to the

already grand celebration.

Nothing was lacking and nothing was overlooked.

***

At the grand entrance, Mu Qingyuan personally stood to receive the guests.

Each time a new force arrived, he stepped forward.

Greeting them with proper courtesy befitting their status.

The clan representatives, mostly their leaders, responded in kind.

Polite and respectful.

And noticeably warmer than before.

Each offered congratulations.

Each spoke words of praise.

Because everyone understood that maintaining a good relationship with the Mu

Clan had now become crucial.

Becoming their enemies was no longer just a matter of conflict.

It was tantamount to sacrificing the future of oneʼs own clan.

Even if they themselves did not want to, would those at the Peak Great

Ascension Realm Elders not care?

Would those in the Immortal Realm, who needed Grade-7 pills to advance, not

care?

Even if they did not want to do so, they were pressured to do so by their own

clan.

Even those who were once rivals-

Even those who stood on opposing sides-

Had no choice but to smile and offer polite and respectful words along with

gifts.

None of the people who attended this celebration held back on their gifts and brought their most precious treasures.

The Imperial Family even brought Heaven-Grade Artifacts for them.

It could be seen from this gesture that even the Imperial Family wanted to get

along well with the Mu Clan.

Inside the grand halls-

Conversations flowed endlessly.

Voices remained controlled, but the content of discussion was strikingly

consistent.

How did Mu Tianxuan manage to break through?

That was the question on everyoneʼs mind.

And they discussed with each other in low voices.

”Did you find out how the Mu Clan got their hands on a Grade-7 recipe?”

”I heard that the Mu Clan sent their people to the Central Continent, and it

seems like they got their hands on it there.”

Speculations spread quietly.

Did they receive help from a hidden expert?

Was there involvement from forces beyond the region?

Perhaps someone from the Central Continent?

Or did they go there and obtain Grade-7 recipes themselves?

However, Grade-7 recipes were not something easily obtained.

Even if they sent their people, it remained unclear how they could convince alchemists of the Central Continent to give away their recipes.

No one had the real answer, and everyone could only guess and make

assumptions.

On the other side, Li Jianhong and Zhao Wutian watched everything with

frowns on their faces.

Looking at their allies as they flattered the Mu Clan, who should have been their enemy, they didnʼt feel good.

However, they also understood their position well.

They too were here in the hope of establishing a good relationship with the Mu

Clan despite knowing that the Mu Clan are strongly allied with the Bai Clan.

At least they still had to try.
