Time flew like a shuttle, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to Han Changming, the Golden Gourd Palace periodically sold some mid-grade pills. The Han Clan did not sell too many mid-grade pills and had not come to dominate the market alone. In terms of business scale, the Han Clan still could not compare to those long-established powers. Those veteran powers mainly sought to draw the Han Clan in, while the Golden Gourd Palace's business grew increasingly prosperous.
On the seventh floor, inside an alchemy room.
Han Benfu sat cross-legged on a red cushion, her full attention fixed on the Green Gourd Furnace nearby. Han Changming stood beside her without saying a word.
After a while, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. Han Benfu changed her hand seal, and the flames dispersed.
She opened the lid and stepped forward to look. Inside lay three pale golden pills, each bearing pill patterns—mid-grade Golden Dew Pills.
"Mid-grade pills! Father, I succeeded! I succeeded!"
Han Benfu was beside herself with joy. She had not dared slacken in the slightest, constantly seeking Han Changming's guidance in alchemy. She could now refine mid-grade pills, though her success rate was still not high.
A gratified expression appeared on Han Changming's face. Smiling, he said, "Not bad. Your pill formation rate still needs improvement. You must work even harder in the future."
"It's all thanks to Father's guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have improved so much."
Han Benfu was overjoyed. A famous master produced brilliant disciples; without Han Changming's careful instruction, she would not have been able to refine mid-grade pills so quickly.
"Silly girl, would your father ever hold back from you? I plan to enter seclusion to cultivate for a while. Don't exhaust yourself either. Rest when you should."
