The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles - Chapter 355: Spirit Level Elixir_1

Before testing the Pill Flame, Lin Yi planned to only spend a few hours refining it. However, he realized that such a short period didn’t provide an accurate way to gauge the degree of Spirit Liquid refinement. Therefore, he decided to extend the procedure to one day.

Although refining Spirit Liquid, even if issues arise midway, would not result in immediate destruction like with the Spirit Grass, he still meticulously controlled the process using the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique.

Because he was refining his own Golden Core, if the Spirit Liquid was not well-refined, it would unquestionably affect the quality of the final Golden Core, potentially leading to a failure in its formation.

Throughout this process, Zhang Dao Xuan stood guard by his side, continuously monitoring Lin Yi’s condition. He discovered that the process was going smoother than he had anticipated.

He mused in admiration of a person bestowed with the Creation Method. Compared to his previous refined Golden Cores, Lin Yi held many advantages, including a Golden Dantian formed by the Creation Method, the Spirit Liquid of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer, and the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique at the Great Perfection level.

If you compared the Spirit Liquid to alchemy ingredients, then his own Foundation Building Ninth Layer Spirit Liquid would be akin to high-quality ingredients. Meanwhile, Lin Yi’s Foundation Building Tenth Layer Spirit Liquid was exceptional and packed full of potent medicinal properties.

About ten hours later, the Pill Flame gradually extinguished, having fully exhausted itself.

Upon examining the state of the Spirit Liquid, Lin Yi couldn’t help but reveal a hint of joy. The Spirit Liquid had refined better than expected, and his ten-hour process equated to almost a day’s worth of refining done by the Pill Immortal Master.

In addition, it was the Spirit Liquid of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer, thus highlighting the strength of the Pill Flame. Based on these circumstances, he calculated that thirteen hundred strands of Pill Flame would be entirely sufficient.

Additionally, the Pill Flame would mostly be consumed during the early stages of refining the Spirit Liquid. During the latter phases of nourishing the Spirit Liquid, the flame required would be relatively smaller.

After the Pill Flame extinguished, Lin Yi carefully inspected the refined Spirit Liquid within his Dantian. It had a jelly-like consistency and was no longer an aqueous solution.

This lump of Spirit Liquid would take about ten days to thoroughly refine. Therefore, refining a hundred batches would require about a thousand days, followed by half a year of cultivation for the final Solidifying Pill preparation.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something his master had previously mentioned. Quickly, he returned the refined Spirit Liquid to the lower part of his Dantian. Sure enough, the refined Spirit Liquid could not merge with the other unrefined Spirit Liquid.

Lin Yi opened the title panel again to check his Cultivation Process. He was still at the Great Perfection level of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer. Refining and compressing the Spirit Liquid had not resulted in any reduction of his cultivation level.

He couldn’t help but shake his head. It appeared that once the process of making the Golden Core was initiated, it couldn’t be abandoned. He had to refine all the Spirit Liquid before it could merge together.

Next, he attempted to utilize the refined Spirit Liquid, but again, the Spirit Liquid showed no response.

The refined Spirit Liquid was like a semi-finished product; it was not usable. It meant when he performed a spell, this part of the Spirit Liquid would not transform into Spiritual Power.

Therefore, making the Golden Core had to be done in one go. He couldn’t refine some and rest before continuing. The refined Spirit Liquid could not be used. It was as if his usable Spiritual Power had decreased, which naturally would put him at a disadvantage in a fight against someone of the same realm.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw the Pill Immortal Master guarding him. He promptly bowed in gratitude, “Thank you, master, for protecting me during the process.”

Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand and asked with a smile, “How did your refinement go? Will the red fire be able to support you through the entire alchemy process?”

Lin Yi responded, “Master, this flame refines Spirit Liquid rather quickly. The flames I have should be sufficient.”

Then he asked, “As you said, the refined Spirit Liquid indeed cannot merge. If I continue refining in a few years, will it have any impact?”

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, “No, I also conducted an initial trial before actually starting the refining process after several years.”

“Since your flames are sufficient, then focus on the refining process. Try to advance your Alchemy Skills to the Spirit Level, that will make your chances of success greater,” Zhang Dao Xuan smiled.

“Yes, master, I will give it my all.” Lin Yi nodded and took out a Storage Bag. “I plan to refine the Spirit-Level Gathering Mysterious Pill. Due to the scarcity of Spirit-Level herbs outside, I had to buy them in the Secret Realm. Please take 100,000 Spirit Stones for now.”

Zhang Dao Xuan accepted the Spirit Stones without hesitation and waved his hand. A Storage Bag appeared on the ground.”The Gathering Mysterious Pill is one of the easier ones among Spirit-Level Elixirs, perfect for breaking through ranks. I have prepared for you…-

materials for ten thousand Spirit Stones. The bag also contains the method of refining the Gathering Mysterious Pill.”

“Thank you, master. I will conduct the refinement process now.” Lin Yi thanked and acknowledged. If he were outside, Gathering Mysterious Pill’s materials wouldn’t be so easy to purchase…-

and it could raise others’ suspicions. Now he could proceed without worries.

“Go ahead, knowing your own limit. If it gets too difficult, finish making your Golden Core first,” Zhang Dao Xuan advised.

Lin Yi nodded in acknowledgment, performed the Teleportation Mantra, and arrived at the Alchemy Room in the Fire Element Area. While there were Pill Rooms in his Cave Mansion as well, his master hadn’t given any instructions, and since he had become familiar with the Fire Element Area’s Alchemy Room, it became his first choice.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, he had arranged his affairs at Golden Sword Peak’s Cave Mansion, proclaiming that he would close all doors for cultivation.
