Under his watchful eye, he saw at the very center of the furnace base, a pill levitating.

Upon closer inspection, this pill was about the size of a thumb, grey-white all over, with special patterns on it, looking overall semi-transparent.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming was overjoyed.

For in his opinion, this pill was undoubtedly the True Spirit Pill.

And the appearance of this True Spirit Pill meant that his attempt at refining Fourth Order Elixirs had finally succeeded.

Though only one pill was produced from the furnace, and the pill rate for Third Order Pills was indeed considered very low.

But in any case, this was the first time he had successfully refined a True Spirit Pill.

Before this, he had failed three consecutive attempts.

Now, the fourth attempt finally succeeded.

Based on the results, even if there was only one finished product, it was enough to prove that now he was a genuine Fourth Order Alchemist.

Lin Tianming was very clear on this. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Regarding pill rate and success rate, for any alchemist, succeeding in refining a True Spirit Pill within four attempts was already quite an impressive efficiency.

Especially as the alchemist's rank gets higher, achieving such a success rate on the first attempt could already be considered fairly high.

In Lin Tianming's view, his success in refining a True Spirit Pill this time had an element of luck.

Because during the solidifying pill phase, he wasn't very confident.

Yet despite that, he succeeded, and it was a good thing for him.

In Lin Tianming's view, having the success experience this time was enough to prove that his refining method had no issues.

Since that was the case, Lin Tianming had gained a greater confidence in the ability to refine the True Spirit Pill in the future.

Understanding this point, Lin Tianming was exceedingly happy at the moment.

According to his thought, now that he had found the method and gained some experience, he had at least a fifty percent chance to refine the last portion of Spiritual Medicine Materials.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming prepared to strike while the iron was hot, intending to continue refining another batch of True Spirit Pill while his skill was still sharp.

If he succeeded in refining the next batch, he would have nearly a half success rate in making this pill, constituting a degree of confidence.

Determined, Lin Tianming did not plan to waste time.

So he quickly took out the True Spirit Pill from the Sun Flame Furnace and held it in the palm of his hand for a closer inspection.

After confirming that this pill was indeed a genuine pill, Lin Tianming contentedly stored it away.

After that, Lin Tianming quickly adjusted his state.

Two days later, Lin Tianming started refining the True Spirit Pill again.

Unnoticeably, half a month passed.

On this day, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on a stone platform, with a slight smile on his face, seemingly in a good mood.

It turned out his good mood was because, after refining the fifth batch of Spiritual Medicine Materials, he indeed achieved what he thought, successfully refining a batch of True Spirit Pill.

And in this batch, he successfully refined two pills.

This outcome not only met Lin Tianming's expectations but even surpassed them.

After all, not only was this batch successful, but two pills were produced at once.

In terms of such a pill count, it had reached the basic qualifying level of a Fourth Order Alchemist.

Therefore, achieving such a result, Lin Tianming was genuinely surprised, but more so delighted.

Through a year of meditation and multiple refining processes, Lin Tianming had preliminarily entered the foundational range of a Fourth Order Alchemist.

Next, as long as he tried refining a few different elixirs and ensured they were all successful, even if each time only produced one pill, it would mean he had firmly established himself as a Fourth Order Alchemist.

This level of an alchemist was particularly common on Qingzhou Land.

For instance, the Great Elder Zhou Tianlong of Yulan Sect, through thousands of years of continuous refining, continuous meditation to enhance techniques, his current level compared to this level of alchemist might not be much stronger.

In other words, even on other continents, even in the Immortal Path prospering Central Three States, the vast majority of Fourth Order Alchemists could only achieve a thirty-percent pill yield rate.

As for the pill count, it wholly depended on luck.

If luck favored, it might reach two or three pills.

And if luck faltered, multiple refinings failing consecutively was not an unusual occurrence.

Contrarily, for an alchemist like Lin Tianming, his inherent talent was excellent, and in the realm of alchemy, it could be described as extraordinarily gifted, managing to refine a qualified Fourth Order True Spirit Pill in only a few attempts.

And in the next batch refining, not only did he succeed, but he also produced two True Spirit Pills.

In terms of such effects and efficiency, if outsiders knew, they would likely feel incredulous.

To many people, it might seem an impossible feat.

Yet Lin Tianming achieved it, and the entire process was smoothly executed without any delay.

Just this point demonstrated Lin Tianming's luck.

More importantly, it sufficiently showcased his frightening talent in the realm of alchemy.

Lin Tianming was well aware of this.

In return, Lin Tianming managed to suppress his inner excitement and began contemplating his next plan.

At the moment, he was not inclined to continue refining pills, because after a year of meditation and refining, he inevitably felt some fatigue.

Thus, he planned to rest for a while, waiting for the family to stabilize, and if no significant changes occurred, attempting to refine other types of elixirs wouldn't be impossible.

The immediate priority was definitely ensuring Lin Tianyun's safe advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.

And in the family's matters, he should help where he could.

Upon realizing this, Lin Tianming looked at the depths of the valley and saw that the place was still silent, showing no signs of a breakthrough anytime soon, so he got up and proceeded towards his Cave Mansion.
