"Charlotte, bring the dagger over. I want to test its power," Lin Tian looked at Charlotte and spoke with a slightly commanding tone.

Unexpectedly, Charlotte took a step back and reluctantly said, "I finally repaired the Soul-devouring Blade. If you burn it, where will I find another Eye of the Creator?"

"Just find any dagger; who needs your Soul-devouring Blade?" Lin Tian was quite resigned.

Charlotte beckoned, and Ai Wei took out a dagger and handed it to Lin Tian, but appeared very nervous when approaching the purple flame, afraid it might scorch her.

Lin Tian took the dagger and reached into the purple flame. As soon as the dagger touched the flame, it immediately melted, and the molten iron wasn't even able to drip before being burned to ash. An alloy dagger was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

"Still not good enough," Lin Tian shook his head.

His mind moved again, this time reducing not by half but by one percent, leaving just a wisp of flame dancing in his palm, like a stray fiery lightning.

Lin Tian placed his hand on the medicine cauldron, and the wisp of flame wandered into the furnace, instantly reigniting the extinct fuel, causing it to burn once more.

The purple flame floated erratically inside the cauldron's furnace, appearing and disappearing. With the augmentation from the purple flame, the fuel did not extinguish this time and began to consistently heat the cauldron.

Everyone saw the alchemical process continuing and sighed in relief. But Lin Tian could not relax and instead focused more intensely, not daring to be distracted, as he had to control the purple flame to prevent it from touching the cauldron. Otherwise, this ordinary cauldron wouldn't withstand the purple flame's scorching for even a minute.

With the continuous heating from the flame, the snake skin finally underwent a change. An entire section of snake skin slowly contracted, melted into a mass, and further melted into a pool of dark blue liquid.

Seeing the liquid appear, Lin Tian immediately withdrew the purple flame, extinguishing the fire, and allowed the cauldron to cool, before pouring the liquid into a specially made glass bottle.

"Finally done with the extraction," Lin Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief. The Black Water King Snake's skin had a surprising resistance to fire, but with the purple flame's help, he managed not to fail.

"Huaxia pharmacists' methods of alchemy are truly amazing," Musa exclaimed. This alchemist went from initial defiance and disbelief to admiration. Regardless of the purple flame or alchemy techniques, she was thoroughly impressed.

Lin Tian turned to this female alchemist and asked, "Musa, how did you refine the snake skin when creating the Blood Angel?"

Musa didn't have the purple flame, which made Lin Tian curious about how alchemists did it. However, Musa slightly shook her head and said, "When I use alchemy to create the Blood Angel, it involves completely different methods and steps without the extraction phase. Looking at it now, its effectiveness seems far inferior to your method of alchemy."

Lin Tian actually knew that alchemists also have their specialties. Perhaps Musa's skill level hasn't reached that point yet, which is why the Blood Angel she created wasn't of the highest quality.

After refining the Black Water King Snake's skin, Lin Tian began extracting the Dragon Blood Stone, which must be ground into powder before extraction. Although the Dragon Blood Stone is very hard, grinding it into powder was a simple task for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian merely placed the Dragon Blood Stone in his palm, squeezed it with effort, and could crush it as much as he wanted. With a twist of his palms, the Dragon Blood Stone turned into powder, which Lin Tian put into the cauldron and began heating.

After refining the Dragon Blood Stone, it transformed into red crystals, shining with a sinister light. The "Blood Angel" formula consists of twenty-four medicinal ingredients, which Lin Tian refined one by one in sequence. After several hours and as night fell, Lin Tian finally completed the extraction of all medicinal ingredients.

Though this refining process faced challenges, Lin Tian managed to achieve zero errors. He wouldn't waste such precious ingredients.

"The next step is to integrate into pills, right?" Zhang Lingyu asked.

"Indeed, it's time to integrate into pills. However, the integration sequence is exactly opposite to the extraction order. Start by integrating the simpler ingredients, step by step towards the difficult ones, lastly integrating the Dragon Blood Stone, snake skin, and Netherworld Crow's feather. Once there are signs of integration among these, I'll add the main ingredient, zombie blood. Wait for my signal. When I shout start, you must initiate the formation, expelling the violent factors during the integration of all medicines; success or failure hinges on this," Lin Tian explained the task seriously.

Whether it was his fire control to manage integration speed or Zhang Lingyu's formation, both needed to work in seamless sync, without errors, to truly make a dual-pronged improvement to the Blood Angel.

"Begin the integration. I am ready," Zhang Lingyu stated earnestly and confidently. The more crucial the moment, the cooler you need to be. Zhang Lingyu clearly achieved that. Only those with high psychological states can accomplish it.

Lin Tian did not dilly-dally, starting to add the herbal essences into the cauldron. Normally, a pharmacist would have an assistant or apprentice to help add herbs to the cauldron while the pharmacist focuses entirely on controlling the fire to integrate the herbal essences.

But now, he neither had an assistant nor an apprentice, so Lin Tian had to do it himself. Thankfully, his spiritual power was strong enough, and this minor distraction did not pose a hindrance.

Lin Tian activated super perception, observing the changes in the fire and the integration of herbal essences in the cauldron. This meticulous observation technique is something other pharmacists cannot accomplish, as they do not have this super perception, which is one of Lin Tian's trump cards.

With his ultra-sensitive spiritual sense and super perception, no slight change in the cauldron escaped Lin Tian's eyes.

"Dragon Blood Stone... snake skin... Netherworld Crow's feather..." Lin Tian softly chanted. Each time he pronounced a name, he added a medicinal ingredient, essentially reminding Zhang Lingyu that the critical moment was counting down.

Zhang Lingyu already had his hands pinching a peculiar hand sign, strange energy subtly circulating, and the formation array surrounding the cauldron seemed ready to move. It seemed that, with just a thought from Zhang Lingyu, the formation could be activated.

"Zombie blood... prepare... activate!" Lin Tian decisively added zombie blood, leaving no room for hesitation. The integration process, once begun, is irreversible and unstoppable. Any hesitation would lead to missing the perfect integration moment, ultimately causing pill formation failure.

With Lin Tian's shout of "activate," Zhang Lingyu, who had long been prepared, moved his hand sign, a purple lightning flickered in the depths of his eyes, the formation sprang into action, rising purple light enveloped the cauldron, then seeped inside.

In the super perception view, Lin Tian saw a unique purple energy flow, emanating from the formation, permeating the cauldron. This energy comprised countless purple light points, resembling stars in the galaxy or stray lightning in a thunder pool. The scope was grand and majestic.

At this moment, as the zombie blood just made contact with the liquid inside the cauldron, a surprising scene unfolded: the zombie blood acted like a wild bandit, forcefully invading the semi-integrated liquid, or should I say, compellingly changing its medicinal properties.
