Shan Baiwan, seemingly feeling it wasn't safe enough, grabbed a large handful of elixirs from his storage space, slightly increasing his chances of surviving the pill lightning's bombardment.
"…Seriously?" Taotie muttered with a strange expression as he flew overhead. "Anyone who knows what's going on sees pill lightning. Anyone who doesn't would think it's Divine General Shan's celestial tribulation. He's being far too cautious."
Apart from Divine General Baize and Xu Lai, no one in the Immortal Domain knew that Shan Baiwan had not faced a celestial tribulation when he achieved the First Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Elixirs are not living beings. They have no cultivation bottlenecks and don't need to undergo tribulations. Their one and only life-or-death trial is pill lightning! This was the most important reason why Shan Baiwan was on high alert, as if facing a great enemy.
