As he took his leave, Lin Yi entrusted Wu Tian Zhang to purchase some high-order Spiritual Herbs for him from the Pill Hall, with twenty thousand

Spirit Stones.

These Spirit Herbs are the ingredients needed for the Golden Elixir, and they are often used in other high-order Pills as well.

As for the main Spirit Herb needed for the Golden Elixir, he already had some among the Spirit Herbs he’d harvested after killing the evil demon in the Secret Realm. These should be enough for now.

The medicinal properties contained within the Spirit Herbs grown in the Secret Realm Medicinal Garden are far superior to those cultivated in ordinary fields in the outside world.

He wouldn’t let Wu Tian Zhang purchase all the materials for the Golden Elixir on his behalf. While doing so once or twice wouldn’t raise eyebrows, too frequent requests might arouse suspicion, even if Elder Brother Wu didn’t doubt him, others in the Pill Hall might.

Now half a year into his Foundation Establishment, Master Golden Sword Zen Ren had previously instructed him to cultivate Sword Control Technique for six months before starting to learn Swordsmanship.

However, since he had yet to finish the test of Dan God’s inheritance, Lin Yi had to postpone his Swordsmanship studies.

Not studying Swordsmanship for one or two years wouldn’t affect much. What would affect the evaluation of the test was the delay of time. If he didn’t receive the inheritance of the Secret Realm, the Dan God’s inheritance would be incomplete.

So, Lin Yi went to the Cave Mansion of his Master, Golden Sword Zen Ren, which was located behind Golden Sword Hall. This was the most spiritually-rich place in the entire Golden Sword lineage.

The direct disciples or other Foundation Building cultivators may come here seeking guidance if they had any doubts regarding their Cultivation.

Outside the Cave Mansion, there were no disciples stationed. However, without something important to discuss, no one would dare disturb a Golden Core Real Person.

Outside the Cave Mansion behind Golden Sword Hall, Lin Yi bowed and said,

“Master, your disciple, Lin Yi, has made improvements in the practice of the Sword Control Technique recently, and would like to further immerse himself in it for a while longer, may I postpone my Swordsmanship studies?”

Soon, Golden Sword Zen Ren t s voice came from inside the Cave Mansion, “You may, decide when you wish to learn. In the future, don’t bother paying a visit for such trivial matters, just send a message.”

“Thank you, Master, I shall take my leave.” Lin Yi bowed again and slowly exited the Golden Sword Hall.

A few days later, Wu Tian Zhang from Pill Hall came with the twenty thousand Spirit Grass Lin Yi had purchased. Because of the medicinal strength of some Gathering Soul Pills, they were nearly 30% more potent than others.

This was a discovery he made upon opening the porcelain bottle and checking the Pills inside afterwards.

Some Gathering Soul Pills had 20% more medicinal strength, some had 30%. Especially the top-grade and supreme Gathering Soul Pills, they generally had about 30% more potency.

With top-grade Gathering Soul Pills, having 30% more efficacy approximated them to the supreme grade. Supreme Gathering Soul Pills typically have 40% more potency than the top-grade ones.

Similar to how the success rate of top-grade Foundation Building Pills is 30%, and that of Supreme-Grade Foundation Building Pills is 50%, indicating a difference of 40%.

The Supreme Gathering Soul Pills were also approximately 30% more potent, making them supreme among the Supreme. As a result, even before they went on sale, some Foundation Building Elders at the Pill Hall purchased them out of their own pockets.

The elders asked Wu Tian Zhang where he got these potent Pills from, to which he responded mysteriously, not giving a direct answer.

Due to their increased medicinal property, the sale price was in turn increased, allowing Lin Yi to earn approximately ten thousand more Spirit Stones.

Lin Yi expressed his gratitude to Wu Tian Zhang, proposing that the profit from selling the Pills be divided in the ratio 7:3, with 30% going to Wu Tian Zhang as a labor fee.

Wu Tian Zhang refused without hesitation. It was merely lifting a finger for him, not a chore. Moreover, he was indebted to Lin Yi.

However, under Lin Yi’s insistence, he took only 10% of the earnings as a labor fee.

After obtaining the Spiritual Herbs, Lin Yi continued with the refinement of the Golden Elixir. For the first ten attempts, whenever he failed, he promptly used his Enlightenment opportunities to enhance his control over the pill refining process.

After the first ten attempts, the time it took for him to fail when refining the Golden Elixir went from two days to around five days.

Next, he started stacking his Enlightenment chances, and with ten days as the base, he could stack his Enlightenment opportunity twice per attempt.

Thus, with continuous refining and Enlightenment, Lin Yi became gradually adept at the refining process of the Golden Elixir.

Half a year later, his total number of attempts reached thirty, and his refining time was around nine days. He was only one step away from successfully refining the Pill.

After the thirtieth failure, Lin Yi immediately used his Enlightenment opportunity and gained many impressions about the Golden Elixir. He had a feeling that he’d be knocking on the door of success after one more attempt.

After experiencing another failure, and learning from the experience, a flash of brillance appeared in his eyes. He felt that it was time to use the Minor Blessing State to breakthrough to the successful refinement of th Golden Elixir all at once.

The thirty-second attempt to refine the Golden Elixir began. Lin Yi still did not use the Minor Blessing State in the early stages. He was proficient in the early and mid-stage refining process; what he lacked was the final Solidifying Pill stage.

It is after all of the medicine ingredients merged that the real challenge begins- to solidify it into a Pill. This stage bears the most probability of failure in the entire Alchemy process.

The slightest negligence could cause the hard work of several days of refining to be wasted..
