They naturally wouldn't understand that in this world there exists a second life pill, such a miraculous thing.
Ling Zhenfei placed all the necessary herbs in front of him in order, then took a deep breath, and summoned a stream of spiritual energy towards the Pill Furnace.
Underneath the furnace, the residual fire was sustaining itself, so with just a bit of spiritual energy, the flas below began to grow.
The large fire burned, the furnace began to heat up, Ling Zhenfei placed the herbs in front of him in order, controlling the temperature so it wouldn't get too high.
As the materials were added, the herbs were refined into strands of liquid essence bit by bit, while the remaining residue settled at the bottom of the furnace.
The essence hovered above the furnace, and with the addition of more herbs, the essence grew more abundant; initially the size of a sesa seed, then becoming the size of a bean.
After all the herbs were added, the essence reached the size of a duck egg.
Ling Zhenfei knew now was the most crucial part — to continue refining this duck-egg-sized essence as it contained the elixir.
Refining an elixir is essentially a process of purifying herbs and fusing them together.
Now all herbs have been purified into the size of a duck egg, and by continuing to refine and fuse this essence, it will eventually beco an elixir.
Ling Zhenfei certainly understood this principle, increasing the spiritual energy in his hands, yet for so unknown reason, there was still no change in the elixir.
Sweat broke out on Ling Zhenfei's forehead, realizing his abilities were lacking. Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei unleashed the power of his soul directly into the furnace with the intention of awakening the Phoenix Essence within.
In fact, the Phoenix Essence was long overdue for awakening; under the stimulation of the soul's power, the Phoenix inside the furnace suddenly spat out a stream of flas.
These flas were incredibly potent, the originally red flas turned purple; Ling Zhenfei knew this was the Phoenix Flas.
With the help of these Phoenix Flas, the divine pill could surely be successfully refined.
The herbs such as September Flower needed for this divine pill were very mystical and long extinct, even Wuliang Mountain didn't have many.
The duck-egg-sized herbal essence continued to tumble in the air, but its changes remained minimal.
After several hours of refining, the elixir showed a hint of change, Ling Zhenfei let out a long breath, knowing that the refining thod was correct. Due to the Phoenix Flas, Ling Zhenfei's consumption of spiritual energy dramatically reduced.
However, several hours of continuous output made Ling Zhenfei feel astonished; without the Phoenix Flas, relying solely on his spiritual energy output, refining a single elixir was uncertain of how much spiritual energy it would consu.
According to the elixir recipe, the final elixir should be dark red, the size of a pinky fingertip, yet the elixir Ling Zhenfei refined was still as big as an egg and dark green in color, indicating it was not yet at the right stage.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked in his heart, not knowing how long this would take to burn. No wonder the elixir is an Immortal Pill; it is not sothing ordinary people can refine.
Ancient cultivators generally had high realms, even Pill Masters had high realms; otherwise, they couldn't maintain such a large output of spiritual energy, sotis requiring several expert guardians during crucial elixir refining to prevent interruptions in spiritual energy.
Once spiritual energy is cut off, the fla temperature drops, inevitably causing failure in refining the Immortal Pill.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei had the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, otherwise, with his insufficient spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to refine such a powerful elixir.
But Ling Zhenfei was determined; today, even if he exhausts all his spiritual energy, he must refine this elixir.
Ling Zhenfei prepared himself, channeling spiritual energy into the Phoenix Flying Pill Furnace.
Inside the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, the Phoenix raised its head and continued to spew powerful flas towards the top of the furnace.
The elixir tumbled under the influence of the spiritual energy in the flas, and its color continuously changed.
Ling Zhenfei knew that everything he was doing now was effective, at least knowing this way could successfully refine the divine pill.
However, the change in this elixir was incredibly slow, almost giving the feeling of each day passing like a year.
Ling Zhenfei found this feeling extrely uncomfortable, almost feeling boundless, unaware of when it might end.
The spiritual energy from Ling Zhenfei's body continuously poured onto the furnace; after several hours, half of his spiritual energy was already depleted.
Even though he continuously absorbed spiritual energy from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, the absorption speed couldn't keep up with the consumption rate of spiritual energy.
Ling Zhenfei was deeply shocked, because the spiritual energy he was channeling was rely supplying the Phoenix Essence rather than using his own spiritual energy to refine the elixir.
If he were to use his own spiritual energy to refine the elixir, it's estimated that Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy would have been exhausted long ago.
From this point, it's clear without a Phoenix Elixir Furnace, a Pill Master wanting to refine this divine pill would find it incredibly difficult.
If Ling Zhenfei didn't have the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, it's likely his spiritual energy would have been completely drained.
Furthermore, this elixir still required ti to fully form; during this period, it's uncertain how much more spiritual energy would be consud. Thus, refining this Second Life Pill is uncertain how much spiritual energy would be consud.
Ling Zhenfei relentlessly continued refining this elixir with the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, without a single mont of relaxation.
Under the refining of the Phoenix Flas, the elixir constantly shrank, and Ling Zhenfei persisted arduously.
It's uncertain how much ti has passed; nonetheless, Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy was almost depleted, but the elixir had finally shrunk to the size of a fingertip, its color advancing towards dark red.
Ling Zhenfei was unaware of the presence of many people around the courtyard during his cultivation.
Because Ling Zhenfei promised the Master of Wuliang Palace that he would find people to act as guardians around him when refining elixirs.
Currently, several people were waiting around the courtyard, all very powerful cultivators.
Originally, they were cultivating peacefully in their respective domains, but unexpectedly were summoned by the Master of Wuliang Palace and assigned such a task.
This task seed very deaning to them because most of them were of Pursue Heart State, yet now had to act as protectors for a junior, which was quite embarrassing to ntion.
Nevertheless, the Master of Wuliang Palace's orders made them comply despite their status; they had no choice but to fulfill it.
In fact, they were very curious since they knew this was an elixir room, a place once dedicated to alchemy.
However, no one had accompanied anyone here for alchemy, nor had anyone ever needed guardianship.
Yet, they understood the importance of an Alchemist, hence had no complaints.
The Master of Wuliang Palace heard when the divine pill was complete, it might trigger a Heavenly Tribulation because he had never seen one and was uncertain of the energy magnitude, thus dispatched several experts of Pursue Heart State to assist Ling Zhenfei.
