Gazing at the clusters of Essence of Spiritual Medicine floating within the Pill Furnace, Elder Yan nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad," he said. "Although the purity isn't very high, reaching this stage on your first attempt is already very good."
'It seems starting to learn alchemy later in life isn't without its advantages,' he thought. 'At least I'm picking up the fundamentals quickly.'
"The next, and most crucial, step in alchemy is Solidifying the Pill! Different Spiritual Essences are highly repulsive to one another. You need to find the most delicate point of balance to condense them into an elixir. This requires immense Spiritual Thought and precise control over the flame! Give it a try!" Elder Yan instructed Shen Haoran.
Upon hearing this, Shen Haoran immersed his Heart Spirit into the Daoist Alchemy Furnace. He separated a red and a green cluster of Essence of Spiritual Medicine and manipulated the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, making them slowly approach one another.
