Under the powerful effect of Dan fire, the two jelly-like lumps of Spiritual Liquid slowly began to become active. Guided by Lin Yi’s Piano-refining Alchemy Technique, they started fusing together.
This fusion was total. Without the effect of Dan fire, the two lumps of Spiritual Liquid could also merge, but that would be merely a superficial merger. It would require further cultivation to coagulate into a pill in a normal Cultivator’s way.
However, unlike now, the effect of Dan fire intimately melds these two lumps of Spiritual Liquid together.
After a while, once the two lumps of Spiritual Liquid had fully merged, Lin Yi added two more lumps. Just as he predicted, fusing Spiritual Liquid carried no risk or difficulty.
Once the four lumps of Spiritual Liquid had completely fused, he promptly activated Minor Blessing State. He created a circle of Spiritual Liquid around him to prevent any explosive release of Wind-Thunder Element from injuring his Dantian in case of failure.
Next, he picked a lump of Thunder and Lightning Element to, under the influence of the Dan fire, merge into the large lump of the Spiritual Liquid.
As the merging progressed, electrical discharges erupted from the lump of Thunder and Lightning Liquid, suggesting that it was in an unstable state.
In the Minor Blessing State, Lin Yi gained some realizations. After a few failures, some of the liquid Thunder and Lightning erupted outward, thankfully contained by the circle of Spiritual Liquid.
Subsequently, enlightened by Minor Blessing State, he finally stabilized the Thunder and Lightning Element using the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique, gradually achieving a successful merge.
After the fusion, the Spiritual Liquid was constantly agitated by Thunder and Lightning Element. Unlike before when Thunder and Lightning were merely foreign objects within the Spiritual Liquid, now it had completely integrated as one.
He then checked his Virtue Points consumption, it was around one hundred. This indicated that it would cost over two thousand Virtue Points to completely merge in more than twenty lumps of Thunder and Lightning Element.
Lin Yi promptly deactivated the Minor Blessing State and continued to merge the Spiritual Liquid. After the four lumps, he chose a lump of Wood Element to commence fusion with the Spiritual Liquid.
However, with Thunder and Lightning Element in the Spiritual Liquid, incorporating Wood Element became slightly more challenging. Even with the insight from Minor Blessing State, it took more failures than before to achieve fusion with the Spiritual Liquid.
Besides, he found that the consumption of Virtue Points had increased from a hundred to two hundred.
It seemed that with each successive addition of Wind-Thunder Element, the difficulty increased. If merging one type of element first was to be considered, he decided to abandon this approach.
If he only incorporated Thunder and Lightning or Wood Element, and then tried incorporating another element after complete fusion, the difficulty would be much greater than now; it might even end in failure.
Suddenly, Lin Yi glanced at the fused lump of Spiritual Liquid, the Wood Element, and Thunder and Lightning within were completely fused together. Two very unstable elements derived from Wood Element were now greatly augmenting each other.
This reminder him of the Wind Thunder Sword technique. Master Golden Sword ingeniously fused the properties of wind and lightning.
Lin Yi had done some serious research on Wind Thunder Sword technique. Now, he had a flash of inspiration – he decided to merge Wind-Thunder Element before combining it with Spiritual Liquid. This way, he could decrease difficulty and risk, and significantly reduce the consumption of Virtue Points.
With this approach, he would merge one lump of Wind-Thunder Element material for every ten lumps of Spiritual Liquid.
He proceeded with the fusion as per this plan. After merging with ten lumps of Spiritual Liquid, he began to take out Wind-Thunder Element of the same size and fused them first under the effect of Dan fire.
Although he failed several times, Lin Yi finally figured out the commonality and successfully merged them before fusing with the Spiritual Liquid.
This time, the Wind-Thunder Element, which was already merged in, didn’t resist. The Wind-Thunder combined material smoothly integrated into the Spiritual Liquid.
The whole process only consumed one hundred Virtue Points. Sometimes, changing a perspective can make many difficulties bearable.
Of course, his ability to think of this, might also be related to the luck effect of his two titles.
In this way, half a year passed, and Lin Yi managed to merge all the Wind-Thunder Element within his body with the Spiritual Liquid. However, since Wood Element was slightly more than Thunder and Lightning Element, quite a bit was left.
He tried to merge this excess Wood Element but it almost triggered an eruption of the Wind-Thunder Element within the Spiritual Liquid. He shook his head, realizing that as with Alchemy, a ratio should be maintained. Now, the Wind-Thunder Element has reached a stable state. Any excess would cause uncontrollable changes.
Lin Yi had no choice but to give up, leaving the Wood Element remaining in the Dantian. Then, he started the final Solidifying Pill process.
This time, he didn’t use just a single wisp of Dan fire as before, but released three wisps all at once. These burned beneath the fused Spiritual Liquid, while he commenced Solidifying Pill with the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique.
Minor Blessing State was also activated. He had only one goal – to successfully refine his own Golden Core.
During the Alchemy process, insights kept flowing in his mind, and he started to improvise his Alchemy Method. At the same time, he increased the quantity of Dan fire to provide ample energy for the formation of Golden Core.
