Han Chi and Han Xue were almost stunned by Han Yue's words.
What had they just heard? Twenty-one years old, a Dou Zun, and a Grade 8 Alchemist.
Was this even human? Comparing goods led to disappointment; comparing people only bred frustration.
After hearing Han Yue's words, Han Xue lowered her head in thought, lost in memories.
Han Chi could not help but swallow, catching a piece of information from Han Yue's last sentence. "Yue'er, when is your sweetheart—oh no, our son-in-law—free? Let him come over for a casual meal."
"Xue'er, what is wrong?" Han Yue noticed her sister's unusual behavior and asked softly.
Han Xue instantly snapped back to reality, quickly shaking her head and waving her hands. "No, nothing! Sister, quickly tell me how you met this rich husband of yours."
"What rich husband? Be careful, or I will spank your bottom!" Han Yue's face flushed as she playfully pretended to hit her.
Han Chi sat back in his chair, watching his two daughters bicker in front of him.
Thinking of his younger daughter's appearance, he could not help but sigh. With his knowledge of the situation, how could he not know what was going on from her earlier look?

Three days later, in a forest outside Tianbei City.
Xiao Tian sat cross-legged, with a large red cauldron—the Mountain Melting Cauldron—placed in front of him.
His hands moved continuously, and the medicinal liquids inside the cauldron merged and fused in an orderly manner.
As time passed, the medicinal liquids in the cauldron merged into a single mass, gradually taking on the prototype of a pill under the scorching heat of the exotic flame.
Boom!
A green pillar of light, ten meters thick, shot straight into the sky. Immediately after, where the light pillar passed, clouds suddenly emerged, and in just a few blinks of an eye, they condensed into a thundercloud nearly a hundred meters wide!
A low rumble of thunder emanated from the thundercloud. The thundercloud churned, and then three colors—blue, silver, and red—slowly revealed themselves!
"Three-colored Pill Lightning? I did not expect to have three colors on my first successful pill. Not bad."
An Eighth Grade Pill, in the world of pills, could already be considered at the pinnacle of the pyramid. Although there was only one grade between Grade 8 and Grade 7, it was truly a world of difference.
The classification of an Eighth Grade Pill was unimaginably strict. Its quality could not be determined by the naked eye but by the color of the Pill Lightning!
Eighth Grade Pill Lightning had a minimum of two colors and a maximum of nine. If it could trigger nine-colored Pill Lightning, it meant that the pill was infinitely close to the Grade 9 level, which possessed the power of creation!
And this sight of the three-colored Pill Lightning also attracted the attention of the entire Tianbei City.
In the southern part of Tianbei City, the Han Family, being relatively close, was the first to discover it.
Han Chi sensed the energy fluctuation, and with a flash, appeared on the roof of the deliberation hall. Standing at the highest point, he stared at the three-colored thundercloud in the distance, his face full of shock. "This… this is a three-colored thundercloud! A sight that only appears when an Eighth Grade Pill is born!"
"How could a Grade 8 Alchemist appear in a place like Tianbei City?" Han Chi murmured in disbelief, his face full of incredulity. Grade 8 Alchemists were basically all in the Central Region of the Central Continent or the very center, Holy Pill City.
Han Chi suddenly remembered what Han Yue had said earlier, and a glint flashed in his eyes. "Could it be…"
While he was thinking, Han Yue came over with Han Xue and stood beside Han Chi. After greeting Han Chi, she looked at the terrifying Pill Lightning, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Yue'er, the one who refined it is…" Han Chi could not help but ask Han Yue.
"Sister, could it be brother-in-law?" Han Xue also asked, holding Han Yue's arm.
"Yes, he said this is one of his gifts for his first visit to our home, and he told us not to go over to avoid accidental injury." Han Yue said to her father with a smile, a proud expression on her face.
Her beloved, a Grade 8 Alchemist!
One must know that there were not many Grade 8 Alchemists in the entire Central Continent, let alone one so young.
"Yue'er, you mean he…" Han Chi, having managed the Han Family for so long, was not a fool. Combining Han Yue's words, he quickly guessed what his future son-in-law was going to do after a brief thought. "Have you told the Great Elder about this?"
"I have already informed Great-grandfather," Han Yue nodded and said.
The Great-grandfather Han Yue mentioned was none other than Han Fei, the current strongest member of the Han Family, with a cultivation of a Five-Star Dou Zong.
While they were talking, a giant fist, surrounded by lightning and carrying terrifying momentum, blasted towards the three-colored Pill Lightning's thundercloud.
The giant fist was wreathed in electric light, every electric snake twisting madly, exuding an aura that could destroy everything.
The fist wind roared, and wherever it passed, space was torn into dark cracks.
Just as the giant fist appeared, in the northern part of Tianbei City, in the direction of the Hong Family, several streams of light quickly flew out, heading rapidly towards the Pill Lightning. The two leading figures were stepping on air, while the others all had Dou Qi wings on their backs.

The three-colored thundercloud in the sky seemed to sense a threat and began to churn continuously, emitting low, intimidating roars of thunder.
As the thundercloud churned, it suddenly contracted sharply, and then a three-colored lightning bolt, like a giant python, shot out from the clouds, tearing through space and bringing with it a terrifying ripping sound, before crashing down towards the giant fist.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Wherever the giant fist passed, the thundercloud's lightning was torn and crushed like thin paper.
It continued to strike the center of the thundercloud with terrifying force.
Finally, accompanied by a deafening roar, the giant fist shattered the entire thundercloud.
The shattered thundercloud transformed into clusters of lightning points, then gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
Wherever the giant fist passed, the thundercloud was torn and shattered like thin paper. Clusters of startling thunder turned into nothingness the moment they touched the giant fist, and the terrifying force crushed the center of the thundercloud into a void.
Finally, accompanied by a deafening roar, the giant fist shattered the last piece of thundercloud. Endless lightning burst forth from the fist, illuminating the entire thunder abyss. The shattered thundercloud transformed into a rain of lightning, scattering across the four directions of heaven and earth.
Below the forest, a pill floated in Xiao Tian's hand, wreathed in a faint spiritual mist, vaguely forming a tiger shape.
It continuously swam in place, as if it were a living creature.
An Eighth Grade Pill already possessed its own spirituality. Such a pill was called a living pill or a spirit pill.
"So this is a Grade 8 Spirit Pill? It is interesting indeed." Xiao Tian glanced at the pill and put away the cauldron on the ground.
"You should be almost here, right?" Xiao Tian sensed many auras approaching, but he did not rush to put away the pill. He just stood there, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
Since not a single trace of lightning fell, the environment around the valley was not severely damaged. Only many large trees were snapped by the powerful gale.
Several figures rapidly approached the valley, and many others from different places were also heading towards it.
