Finally, on the fifth day, Xia Liu managed to skillfully extract the essences of three materials.

Next, he adopted a precise strike approach to extract the essence of the Spirit Grass.

Tossing all the herbs into the Medicinal Cauldron at once would only turn them into nothingness.

Having failed so many times, he gathered plenty of experience.

But until the final success, he didn't show much joy.

As Xia Liu once again immersed himself in the time of alchemy, in a trance, ten days passed.

Old Zhuang had been watching Xia Liu all along.

When weary, he consumed a Soul Renewal Pill; when exhausted, he absorbed Spirit Grass that reinvigorated his spirit.

For nearly four months, he had been watching Xia Liu.

During the first three months, Old Zhuang was filled with confidence in Xia Liu.

But the successive failures over more than a dozen days made Old Zhuang's confidence in Xia Liu wane considerably.

Perhaps, he truly wasn't yet at the level to challenge to be a fourth-tier Alchemist.

Perhaps, he still couldn't grasp the technique of refining a Purple Spirit Pill.

Perhaps, his opportunity hadn't arrived yet...

After Xia Liu failed once more, Old Zhuang wanted to advise him, to stop and carefully think over what exactly was wrong.

Recklessly charging forward, although effective, exerted too much energy.

In these dozen days, Old Zhuang was unsure how many Soul Renewal Pills and Pill Restoring Pills Xia Liu had consumed.

"You should rest a bit, haven't you failed enough times? If you continue..."

"Of course, I will rest, but after I succeed in refining."

Xia Liu understood Old Zhuang's mind.

From the beginning to the end, he watched over him; it was warm, really warm.

He genuinely cares for him.

But he couldn't stop.

"I've found the key; at most three more furnaces, I'll definitely produce the Purple Spirit Pill."

Xia Liu's expression was extremely earnest, his promise only thus.

"Oh? So in the next three furnaces, there will definitely be a Purple Spirit Pill?"

"Of course, if the Purple Spirit Pill doesn't succeed, I'll swallow the entire Pill Fire."

Xia Liu said with utmost conviction.

"Ah, I really regret telling you about the Purple Spirit Pill."

Seeing Xia Liu's crazy appearance, Old Zhuang shook his head helplessly.

Things had come to this point, he could only hope for success.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know until when this desperate guy would keep going.

"Haha, Senior Zhuang, watch closely, I'm starting!"

With a loud laugh, Xia Liu threw the first portion of Spirit Grass for refining the Purple Spirit Pill into the Medicinal Cauldron.

After extracting it, he tossed another stalk.

A few minutes later, two stalks entered through the feed opening.

Then, one after another continued to be added.

For this irregular feeding pattern, Old Zhuang looked puzzled, unable to understand.

What kind of operation is Xia Liu performing?

Could it be that using this method, he can successfully refine the Purple Spirit Pill?

"Senior Zhuang surely has doubts, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Liu explained proactively, and Old Zhuang certainly listened.

Also, he knew, his guess was correct, perhaps the success of the Purple Spirit Pill did indeed relate to the extraction method.

"After carefully reviewing materials, I confirmed one thing: among the ingredients for the Purple Spirit Pill, two are mutually antagonistic. If essences of them are extracted separately, the entire batch of Pills would be completely ruined."

"By this statement, the two materials mixed into the Medicinal Cauldron are antagonistic herbs?"

Old Zhuang nodded in confusion, Xia Liu's theory indeed held some logic.

"Exactly, due to the uniqueness of the Purple Spirit Pill, those two Spiritual Medicines are irreplaceable. The way to resolve their antagonism is to merge them, creating a new transformation without losing medicinal efficacy."

As Xia Liu manipulated the cauldron flames, he explained to Old Zhuang.

"Terrifying..."

Old Zhuang had nothing more to say.

Xia Liu, who merely failed hundreds of times, could actually devise such a method.

In the alchemy community, his talent definitely ranked among the top.

Coupled with the assistance of the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire.

He would surely make a resounding name in the alchemy world.

Xia Liu didn't explain further as the refinement of the Purple Spirit Pill reached its final key stage.

Combining the essences of all six materials!

Then, using the Power of Divine Consciousness to condense them into a Pill.

As time ticked by second by second.

Sweat beaded on Xia Liu's forehead.

In his journey of alchemy so far, he had never been so tense.

Perhaps it was because he focused too much on this Purple Spirit Pill.

Beside him, Old Zhuang was equally focused, feeling even more nervous than Xia Liu.

Because he was witnessing the birth of a legend.

Outside the hall, Qingdie's Divine Sense continued to extend.

She didn't want to miss Xia Liu's moment of success.

As the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire within the Medicinal Cauldron gradually weakened and eventually extinguished completely.

Everyone's hearts tensed up at this moment.

"Did it succeed?"

Seeing the Medicinal Cauldron without a Pill for a long time, Old Zhuang softly asked.

"Perhaps..."

Xia Liu wiped a hand of sweat and said, "It seems like a success..."

As his Divine Sense spread, suddenly, a pill with a swirling purple-gold color slowly floated out from the Medicinal Cauldron.

As the pill appeared, it immediately brought a strong medicinal fragrance, looking exceptionally beautiful under the illumination of the Illumination Stone.

The entwined lines of purple and gold made it hard to look away.

"This is the fourth-tier Purple Spirit Pill!"

Old Zhuang's breathing intensified.

Terrifying!

Extremely terrifying!

Xia Liu, in just over ten days, had actually refined the Purple Spirit Pill!

Before this, Old Zhuang once speculated that Xia Liu would need at least half a year to accomplish this.

The result was a severe jolt to him.

Ascending from a third-tier alchemist to fourth-tier took him over three months.

Yet refining a Purple Spirit Pill, which even a fourth-tier alchemist couldn't easily succeed in, took him just over ten days.

A genius!

A true genius!

"Congratulations!"

A charming voice echoed in the Alchemy Hall.

Xia Liu smiled faintly, realizing Qingdie had always been watching him.

"Thank you!"

"Ah, compared to Senior Xia, this little girl will never catch up in this lifetime."

Qingdie sighed helplessly.

"Hehe, that may not be the case. Luck accounted for much in getting to where I am today, so, Miss, you still have a chance to surpass me."

"Indeed, I can have children, and you can't, that's an advantage over you."

Pfft...

Both Xia Liu and Old Zhuang burst out laughing.

Qingdie was indeed witty...

"You go ahead, I'll head to the back mountain for cultivation."

Qingdie no longer wished to talk; diligently cultivating and striving for achievements was the truth.

"When do you plan to consume this pill?"

Old Zhuang asked.

"When I've adjusted my state."

"That's wise. Your spiritual energy and Divine Sense are severely depleted now, supplementing them with Pill form cannot compare to natural recovery."

"I understand that, if it weren't for certain matters, I wouldn't have pushed myself so hard. Now, I should be able to rest for a while."

Xia Liu nodded, looking through the hall's door, gazing into the distance, knowing that once he advanced, it would be time to fulfill his promise...
