The only difference is that the spiritual medicine materials being refined now are relatively precious, and the difficulty of condensing them is greater.

As a result, more time and energy are required during this condensation process.

Lin Tianming anticipated this long ago, so when implementing it, he proceeded steadily, fearing the waste of these invaluable spiritual medicine materials.

With such a cautious attitude, combined with a powerful divine sense after breaking through in cultivation, and more acute perception, these dozens of spiritual medicine materials were finally condensed successfully, each achieving the intended effect.

For this, Lin Tianming spent nearly a month of time.

Now, the step of purifying the elixirs has been completed, followed by the highly challenging fusion phase.

In this phase, elixirs are extremely prone to repulsion issues.

This is common across any type of elixir, at any grade.

And as the grade of the elixirs increases, this difficulty also rapidly increases, putting considerable pressure on Lin Tianming.

However, Lin Tianming anticipated this before refining and was prepared for failure.

Because as an alchemist, he knows very well that during such advancements, the failure rate is far higher than before any previous attempt.

Especially after reaching the Third and Fourth Rank of alchemists, since entering the category of High Order Alchemists, the failure rate when refining elixirs becomes even higher in ordinary times.

And now for him, it is also the first time refining Fourth Order Elixirs. If he succeeded initially, it would be a great surprise.

Because of this, Lin Tianming was already prepared for the first few failures in refining elixirs.

The only pity is that collecting these spiritual medicine materials is not easy, so wasting them is truly too regrettable.

However, there is no help for it; to advance to higher grades as an alchemist, this step can never be avoided.

For instance, in the current Qingzhou Cultivation World, there are only a scarce two Fourth Order Alchemists, which is enough to illustrate this problem.

And in most cases, many Nascent Soul Forces simply cannot sustain such a massive expenditure and ultimately can only give up helplessly.

After all, Fourth Order spiritual medicine materials are extremely rare, especially those that can be refined into elixirs to aid cultivators in speeding up their cultivation, the spiritual medicine materials required for them are even rarer, making it no exaggeration to say they are worth a fortune.

On such a basis, even strong powers with long-standing traditions like the Liang Family or Yuanzhen Sect are often unable to cultivate a Fourth Order Alchemist.

So initial failures are normal and unavoidable problems.

Lin Tianming has long understood this in his heart.

In this circumstance, during the subsequent fusion process, Lin Tianming remained calm and composed, with no particularly heavy burden.

As for the result, it was just as he expected, where problems arose during the fusion process, leading to the loss of all the elixir essence in this batch.

For this, Lin Tianming felt a pang for a while, but quickly adjusted his mindset.

Immediately, based on what he perceived earlier, Lin Tianming analyzed step by step, assessing various possibilities and issues, further dissecting the reasons for failure.

Summarizing these problems, he sought his deficiencies to make new adjustments.

As for whether the next batch of elixirs can be successfully refined, Lin Tianming has no certainty.

But what he is confident about is that the situation of the second batch of elixirs will definitely be better than the first.

And this is the result of continuously experimenting and attempting to improve.

In this regard, Lin Tianming's mindset is quite commendable, willing to delve into the mysteries within, ready to summarize and adjust in time.

He always believes that with such a mindset, as long as he continues attempting and improving, sooner or later he will be able to refine the True Spirit Pill.

At that time, it will also be when he steps into the rank of Fourth Order Alchemists.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming does not feel any fatigue; instead, he is filled with fighting spirit, as if he has endless strength.

In such a state, Lin Tianming is not discouraged. As he regains his peak condition, he takes out another set of materials for the True Spirit Pill and begins the first step again, starting with condensing the essence.

This time, condensing the elixir essence was also smooth, with efficiency faster than the first time and the quality seemingly improved considerably.

For this, while Lin Tianming felt pleased, he did not dare let his guard down, his entire being fully alert.

As a result, during the second fusion process, Lin Tianming actually succeeded.

At this moment, as a special medicinal fragrance spreads, a fragrance fills the air, far exceeding the purity phase earlier.

At that time, the elixir essence only had the most basic natural fragrance, which can't be compared to now.

But now, this fragrance is uplifting and soothing, and one can sense an alluring power within it.

This power is very subtle, but it cannot be hidden from Lin Tianming's powerful perception.

Because of this, upon sensing these changes, Lin Tianming immediately extended his perception to check the situation at the bottom of the furnace.

In his perception, he saw that at the bottom of the furnace there was already a light mass about the size of a baby's fist. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This light mass had a rather unique color, filled with a dozen different hues intertwined together, appearing more beautifully spectacular.

Moreover, this light mass clearly contained a powerful energy within it.
