No Need to Worry

After hesitating for only a moment, the Cai Die flashed away and left the massive spaceship.

Although this spatial rift could engulf the spaceship, it posed no harm to Cai Lin.

Many people saw the colorful Cai Die leap away and begged it to take them away, but the Cai Die did not turn back. Instead, it continued to fly forward through the spatial tunnel.

Once inside this spatial tunnel, it makes no difference to Cai Die whether there's a spaceship or not.

In the Northern Region of the Central Plains, North Sky City.

Within the market area controlled by the Hong Family, all the pharmacies bearing the Hong Family emblem began to beat drums and gongs.

Many people were drawn by the sound, and there stood the steward of the Hong Family on the upper floor, announcing to everyone, "My Hong Family Hong Chen has been accepted as an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion. The patriarch is delighted and has specially brought out the Hong Family's stock of medicinal pills to entertain everyone."

This news exploded like a bombshell among everyone. The Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion held extremely high prestige here, and being recruited as an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion demonstrated his talent and current strength.

The inner disciples of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion have a very high status, and they never expected that Hong Chen, the young master of the Hong Family, could become an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion.

The Hong Family steward seemed to enjoy the people's surprise, but he continued, "This time, our Hong Family is offering Sixth Grade Pills pills. First come, first served!"

The crowd gathered below the stage erupted in uproar upon hearing this. While they were merely astonished that Hong Chen had become an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, the fact that he had obtained Sixth Grade Pills was already quite insane to them.

It should be noted that although the Central Plains is very large, the Northern Region is the most remote part of the Central Plains, and North Sky City is the northernmost city in the Northern Region. It is usually quite difficult to find even a Fifth Grade Pills, let alone Sixth Grade Pills.

Among the crowd, one or two people's expressions changed slightly, and they slowly retreated, quickly running out of the market.

The steward of the Hong Family on the high platform also noticed this scene, a hint of smugness in his sinister eyes.

The two people who ran out just now were spies sent by the Han Family. These days, the Han Family has been on guard against the Hong Family's underhanded tricks. After the news of the sale of Sixth Grade Pills spread, they went back to report.

Inside the Han Family's main hall, Han Chi, upon hearing the guard's report, immediately stood up and exclaimed, "What did you say? The Hong Family is going to sell Sixth Grade Pills?"

The guard bowed and said, "Yes, patriarch. Furthermore, they've spread the news that their young master, Hong Family Hong Chen, has become an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion!"

Standing to the side, Han Lin angrily said, "The Hong Family is clearly targeting our Han Family. Now that everyone knows Hong Chen has become an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, they'll inevitably give the Hong Family face and buy the pills. This way, everyone gets what they want, and it also suppresses our Han Family's pharmacy in the market!"

Han Chi said in a deep voice, "North Sky City is about to change. The Hong Family has sounded the horn for their attempt to annex our Han Family. Summon Master Zhu Gan here for a meeting!"

"Yes!" The guard walked outside.

Han Lin said worriedly, "The Hong Family is selling Sixth Grade Pills this time, while our Han Family only has Fifth Grade Pills. What should we do?!"

"Even so, our Han Family cannot sit idly by and wait to die!" Han Chi said coldly.

Soon, an old man dressed in an alchemist's robe walked in from outside. The old man had a hint of arrogance on his face, which was the arrogance of all alchemists. After all, alchemy was the noblest profession on the continent, and many people admired alchemists. This old man was Zhu Gan, Fifth-grade Alchemist.

Han Chi and Han Lin also respectfully welcomed Zhu Gan and seated him at the head of the table, as Zhu Qian held a very high position in the Han Family. Han Chi looked at Zhu Gan, "Mr. Zhu Gan, our Han Family has treated you well, hasn't it?"

Zhu Gan glanced at Han Chi and Han Lin, then said calmly, "The Han Family has naturally treated me quite well. If the Han Family has anything to say, Han Family, please speak frankly!"

Han Chi smiled somewhat awkwardly, then said to Zhu Gan, "Elder Zhu Gan, the Hong Family is now targeting our Han Family Han Family. They've brought out a lot of pills to disrupt our market, so we need a countermeasure. Please, Elder Zhu Gan, refine some pills for the Han Family!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gan frowned slightly. He looked at Han Chi and said, "I have no problem helping your Han Family refine pills, but the Han Family must pay for all the medicinal materials used in the process. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't help you with this!"

Han Chi immediately nodded and said, "Of course, of course!"

Zhu Gan, "I wonder what kind of pills the Hong Family has refined this time? And what kind of pills does the Han Family need to counter them?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Han Chi said, "The pills brought by the Hong Family this time are Sixth Grade Pills, so our Han Family must refine the best grade Fifth Grade Pills to get a better price!"

After all, even Sixth Grade Pills vary in quality. If the Hong Family's Sixth Grade Pills are less effective than the Han Family's Fifth Grade Pills, then there's naturally no need to worry. But is that really the case?

The Hong Family.

The living room was already filled with the elders of the Hong Family, with Hong Li, the head of the Hong Family family, at the head. Although the old masters of the Hong Family and the Han Family were still alive, they had long since stopped managing their families, so naturally the head of the family was respected.

"Patriarch, all the pharmacies and shops in our Hong Family have now publicized the matter. I wonder what kind of Sixth Grade Pills the family will be offering this time?" an elder of the Hong Family asked Hong Li.

Hong Li chuckled and said, "Dou Ling Pill, Imperial Pill, and Azure Nether Longevity Pill!"

Everyone was immediately startled, and said hesitantly, "We can understand the Dou Ling Pill and the Azure Nether Longevity Pill, but isn't the Imperial Pill too precious!"

Hong Li shook his head and said, "Although the Imperial Pill is precious, we need to use it to make a name for the Imperial Pill Hong Family and let everyone in North Sky City know that the Sixth Grade Pills our Hong Family offers are excellent, not just low-grade ones!"

The crowd nodded slightly in approval. Undoubtedly, the Imperial Pill held immense appeal for everyone; even the elders were somewhat envious, let alone the others.

However, it is unknown how many Imperial Pill the Hong Family can produce, while on the other side, in the Inner Academy of the Han Family...

Han Yue learned from her father that the Hong Family was selling pills to attack the Han Family, so she immediately went to find her father.

Inside the study.

Han Yue looked at Han Chi and asked, "Father, did the Hong Family use Sixth Grade Pills to lure people to their pharmacy to buy pills?"

Han Chi nodded with a bitter expression and said, "Hong Li is treacherous and cunning, but the Hong Family is indeed more powerful than us. We, the Han Family, cannot afford Sixth Grade Pills!" Han Chi shook his head as he spoke, looking distressed.

Han Yue chuckled and said, "Father, don't worry, I know where to find Sixth Grade Alchemist!"
