However, this energy still seems somewhat volatile and has a strong backlash if one attempts to refine it.

Yet, the more it is like this, the more it indicates that as long as the True Spirit Pill completes the next crucial step, which is the Infusion of Spirit, then a batch of genuine True Spirit Pills will be successfully made.

Conversely, if the energy within the light cluster is not strong enough, then it won't reach the required step for Infusion of Spirit.

Thinking of this, upon feeling the changes within the light cluster, Lin Tianming knew that the fusion step he just performed was indeed a success.

Therefore, the next crucial step is the Infusion of Spirit.

Once Infusion of Spirit is successful, he will have refined the True Spirit Pill and thus become a Fourth Order Alchemist.

If it fails, then this would just be the second refining failure.

As for the subsequent attempts, as long as he continues practicing a few more times, sooner or later he will step into the ranks of Fourth Order Alchemists.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming adjusted his mindset.

Later, he carefully controlled the Blue Heart True Flame, slowly increasing the temperature of the Pill Furnace.

As the temperature of the Pill Furnace increased, Lin Tianming kept sensing, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity came quite quickly.

At a certain moment, Lin Tianming sensed the temperature of the Pill Furnace was about right, and he extended his palm, precisely patting the furnace body.

"Bang..."

Instantly, a muffled sound was heard.

Immediately, a strange noise echoed, its heavy sound reverberating in the mountain valley for a moment.

In the next second, Lin Tianming's expression looked somewhat grim.

"Alas... the timing for Infusion of Spirit was still a bit early..."

"Such a pity... such a pity..."

Lin Tianming sighed, his face helplessly showing a bitter smile.

"Luckily, the Spiritual Medicine Materials for the True Spirit Pill have been collected several times over the years, enough to settle down and refine carefully."

"I don't believe I can't refine at least one elixir from these batches of Spiritual Medicine Materials."

At this moment, Lin Tianming muttered to himself.

Soon, Lin Tianming adjusted his mindset, and his whole demeanor regained vigor.

And next, he still planned to continue refining the True Spirit Pill.

But in the subsequent process, he needs to comprehend well and summarize before he can proceed with the refining.

After all, the Spiritual Medicine Materials for the True Spirit Pill are extremely difficult to gather, and if he continues to waste them like this, even with the wealth of Lin Tianming, he would inevitably feel distressed.

Therefore, Lin Tianming must be careful and avoid wasting these precious materials he has painstakingly collected.

He believes that as long as he continues to research diligently, he will eventually succeed in refining it.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming shows no despair; instead, he becomes more energetic, and his goal becomes purer.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed again.

Unknowingly, Lin Tianming has been the protector for Lin Tianyun in this mountain valley for almost a year.

By now, it means Lin Tianyun has also been in seclusion for a year; during this year, the mountain valley remains the same, deep inside there is no movement, and externally, only Lin Tianming sits cross-legged here.

Only from time to time, within a ten-mile radius behind him, a squad of clan members flies by.

When they see Lin Tianming's figure, they dare not approach to disturb him, because they have already received instructions from the Law Enforcement Hall Master, keeping a consistent ten-mile distance during each patrol, not daring to step forward, nor allowing anyone to come closer.

In this way, the inside and outside of the mountain valley are entirely two worlds.

And throughout the year, Lin Tianming has not set foot outside the mountain valley, continuously attempting to refine the True Spirit Pill.

Until today, it has already been his fourth attempt at refining the True Spirit Pill.

As for the previous three attempts, they were all failures due to various reasons.

Hence, although Lin Tianming had anticipated this and made some preparations, the heartache is unavoidable.

Fortunately, Lin Tianming maintains a positive mindset, promptly adjusting his state, tirelessly engaging in the fourth refining attempt.

This time, if he cannot succeed, he plans to temporarily give up to preserve the last batch of True Spirit Pill Spiritual Medicine Materials.

And if he succeeds, he wouldn't mind striking while the iron is hot and proceeding to refine the last complete batch of Spiritual Medicine Materials.

With such expectations, Lin Tianming, at this moment, is concentratedly staring at everything within the Sun Flame Tripod.

At this moment, sweat drips down Lin Tianming's forehead, his eyes fixated on every process happening within the Pill Furnace.

Under his gaze, the Elixir Essence within the Pill Furnace is already merging, with dozens of Elixir Essences intertwining together.

Upon closer observation, this light cluster vaguely has the rudimentary form of an elixir.

"In the last batch of elixirs, failure occurred at this step..."

"It seems because the timing was a bit early, the duration for maintaining the Exotic Flames' temperature wasn't long enough, which led to the refining failure..."

At this time, Lin Tianming muttered to himself while also planning for the possible issues he might face this time.

After a long while, Lin Tianming seems to have thought of a strategy and is prepared.

Therefore, at a certain moment, Lin Tianming's expression shifts, and he executes a complex hand gesture.

In the next moment, he extends his palm directly, slapping it onto the body of the Sun Flame Tripod.

"Bang..."

Instantly, a muffled sound is emitted, accompanied by a distinctive medicinal aroma wafting out.

At this time, feeling that this medicinal aroma is distinctly different from the last time he refined an elixir, Lin Tianming promptly checks the internal condition of the Pill Furnace.
