Despite such a great achievent, there was no living witness to it. The only thing that had observed it was the lifeless array of the Alchemy Hall.
However, there was no way the hall would reveal anything, as the level of privacy within it was at an extre level, being a VIP hall. The two things alchemists hated the most were the leaking of their thods and recipes.
Lin Mu had essentially created an entirely new thod as well as a new recipe here. Not only were there no extra materials or herbs needed, but the process itself was also surprisingly simple—provided one had the power to execute it.
As such, the value of a thod like this was imnse, and the sa could be said for the recipe. If Lin Mu ever entertained the thought of selling it, alchemists worldwide would undoubtedly leap at the chance, offering up their entire fortunes.
Those who truly grasped its unparalleled value might not even hesitate to pledge themselves as Lin Mu's slaves for a thousand years or more.
Such was the true worth of what he had just accomplished.
If this breakthrough spread, it would revolutionize the process of pill refinent for beast-material-based pills.
Even though this thod was specifically designed for marrow, there were no fewer than a hundred thousand pills that used beast marrow as a key ingredient. Its value, therefore, was practically infinite.
"Now for the final step," Lin Mu muttered. "Collection."
The collection of the final product seed like the simplest task, yet it was far from easy. One could never truly determine the stability of a finished product until it was extracted from the cauldron and exposed to the normal atmosphere.
Within the cauldron, arrays kept the product contained and stable, creating an artificial calm. However, once outside, there was no telling how a pill or other alchemical creation would react. History had seen no shortage of explosive results or other unexpected reactions upon the removal of pills from cauldrons.
This unpredictability was precisely why alchemists had devised millions of unique 'collection' thods over ti. These thods ranged from the rudintary two-fingered extraction, single-spoon extraction, and dual-chopstick extraction to the esoteric Eight Wills Divine Extraction, Hundred Spirit Ghostly Assistance, and the legendary True Telekinetic Extraction.
Lin Mu, however, employed a thod that was less common but particularly suited to his skills: the Spatial Grasp.
This technique was exclusive to cultivators who practiced both the Spatial Dao and alchemy. For Lin Mu, it was second nature—an extension of a skill he had used countless tis before.
"ld," he whispered, lightly gripping the air. The golden globule of condensed marrow rose effortlessly from the cauldron's rancid, clear liquid.
Contained within the spatial restriction, the product emitted no sll or traces of its existence as Lin Mu skillfully deposited it into a pure white jade vial. The vial quickly filled to the brim, and Lin Mu tightened the cap, chanting a command to activate the inscribed sealing formation.
HUALA
Within a minute, the product was not only collected but safely stored away.
Lin Mu held the vial carefully in his hands, observing it for several monts before a radiant smile spread across his face.
"If this is the first try, I can't wait to see the second, third, or even the last!" Lin Mu exclaid, excitent brimming in his voice.
Anyone familiar with Lin Mu would instantly recognize this enthusiasm—it was the sa fervor he displayed when delving into formations or pursuing scholarly research. Now, however, this passion was directed toward an entirely new discipline: alchemy.
With this single incident, Lin Mu's latent interest in the intricate art of alchemy had been ignited. But this spark wasn't a fleeting ember—it was a blazing bonfire!
Achieving such a result on the first attempt would bolster anyone's confidence, and Lin Mu was no exception. Without delay, he prepared for a second attempt.
CRACK~ CRACK~ CRACK~
He cracked open more bones, ticulously scraping out every bit of marrow.
HISS
The Four-Legged Crimson Heart Steel Cauldron sizzled as the fresh marrow hit its interior, filling it to the brim. Clearly, Lin Mu was pushing himself to exceed his previous limits.
DENG
HUALA
The lid of the cauldron snapped shut, and the entire refinent process began anew.
Hours passed, one after another, as Lin Mu imrsed himself in his second refinent. Fourteen hours later, he completed the process, producing a glob slightly larger than the first.
"Again!" Lin Mu declared, his eyes alight with determination. It was as if he had been injected with a powerful stimulant.
This ti, he opted for a more ambitious approach, filling the cauldron to the brim with Tyrant Bull marrow and refining it once before refilling it for a second refinent.
What Lin Mu was attempting was a high-level technique known as Instantaneous Double Refinent.
Most alchemists would have deed him reckless for attempting this. But soon, the results would silence any critics and redefine who the real fool was.
HUALA
By the end of the day, Lin Mu had produced his third and fourth vials. The following day, he prepared the fifth and sixth.
Yet, as the days progressed, Lin Mu's efforts transcended even these achievents. On the third day, he began practicing Instantaneous Triple Refinent—a feat so challenging that even peak immortal alchemists could only dream of accomplishing it.
Such an advanced technique required not only flawless skill but also vast experience.
While Lin Mu might have lacked experience by mortal standards, he possessed the mories and knowledge of a Celestial's soul. With this unparalleled advantage, he turned what seed impossible into a tangible reality.
The cauldron humd with energy, resonating with Lin Mu's unwavering resolve. The alchemy hall, lifeless as it was, bore silent witness to the birth of a legend.
And Lin Mu, with his blazing passion and boundless potential, was just getting started.
But as he continued doing this, he didn't know of the strain he was putting into the isolating arrays of the entire Imperial Alchemy Pavilion. For this wasn't just a physical strain, but one that touched upon the very Heavenly Laws!
