Inside the enormous Alchemy Room, after the two alchemists entered a meditative state, the scene became completely quiet.

After two rounds of refining pills, Xu Shilin's Dou Qi was severely depleted. In preparation for the final refining, Xu Shilin sat cross-legged to recover his Dou Qi.

As for Lin Ming, needless to say, he has recovered his Dou Qi several times by now, and the onlookers have gotten used to it.

The quiet environment lasted for almost an hour before the two people who were meditating in the room stood up, breaking the silence of the Alchemy Room.

After finishing their meditation, the two brothers stood up, exchanged a glance, gave each other affirmation, and then began their respective pill refining processes.

On Lin Ming's side, after a flame was lit inside the Medicinal Cauldron, he increased the temperature of the flame to the maximum, allowing the Medicinal Cauldron to reach a constant state suitable for alchemy as quickly as possible.

In no time, Lin Ming drew several Jade Bottle into his palm. Then, with a thought, the Medicinal Material Essence inside the Jade Bottle entered the Medicinal Cauldron, where they were enveloped in flames and began to fuse into the elixir.

After sensing that the medicinal materials in the Medicinal Cauldron had reached the required level, Lin Ming added the Medicinal Material Essence into the Medicinal Cauldron for further fusion and refining.

Time passed slowly. Lin Ming, who was fusing the pills, would occasionally draw the Jade Bottle into his hand. Sometimes he would draw in one Jade Bottle, and sometimes Jade Bottle. Then he would put the Medicinal Material Essence in the Jade Bottle into the Medicinal Cauldron and add it to the medicinal ball in the flames inside the Medicinal Cauldron.

Lin Ming was methodically fusing the pills, and his senior brother Xu Shilin was also making good progress. Judging from the Jade Bottle that was once again placed beside him, it was clear that Xu Shilin was almost finished refining the medicinal materials.

After adding the Medicinal Material Essence once more, Lin Ming manipulated the flames to fuse the pills. After more than an hour of refining without any major incidents, a faint Medicinal Fragrance of pills began to emanate from Lin Ming's Medicinal Cauldron.

After infusing the Medicinal Material Essence into the Medicinal Cauldron, Lin Ming now only had one Jade Bottle left beside him.

Lin Ming beckoned to the last Jade Bottle, and Jade Bottle appeared in Lin Ming hand. After taking a deep breath, Lin Ming moved his mind, and the stopper of the Jade Bottle automatically popped out. A jelly-like mass of Demonic Core Energy, enveloped by Lin Ming's Soul Power, floated up from the Jade Bottle and soon entered the Medicinal Cauldron.

With the arrival of the Demonic Core Energy, the original balanced energy within the Medicinal Cauldron was instantly broken, emitting energy fluctuations.

The situation inside the Medicinal Cauldron was like that of a lake, where there was originally a whirlpool, and the lake surface and the whirlpool maintained a balance.

The addition of the Demonic Core Energy is like adding a reverse vortex to a lake that is already in balance.

The addition of a reverse vortex has disrupted the lake's original balance, creating turbulence on its surface.

The two vortexes are still quite far apart, and their forces on each other are not yet very strong. Lin Ming's final Pill Formation in completing the pill formation is to bring these two vortexes into contact, so that they can merge under the influence of their mutual forces and cancel out each other's energy vortexes.

This is also the most difficult step. Now that the two energy vortexes are far apart, the resulting energy fluctuations have disrupted the originally stable Medicinal Cauldron.

When they are fused together, the energy impact caused by their mutual cancellation will be much greater than it is now. If Lin Ming makes a mistake or fails to withstand the energy impact, the Medicinal Material Essence in the Medicinal Cauldron will be destroyed by this energy impact in an instant, and Lin Ming's pill refining will end in failure.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Ming mobilized a large amount of Soul Power into the Medicinal Cauldron. In the instant that the Demonic Core Energy and the medicine ball mixed, this Soul Power completely enveloped it, allowing the energy to be fully integrated.

Inside the Crimson Flow Gold Cauldron in front of Lin Ming, the combined Demonic Core Energy and the medicinal herbs was trying to burst forth.

If this energy were to spread and impact the Medicinal Cauldron, Lin Ming wasn't sure if the Medicinal Cauldron in front of him could withstand it.

Even if the Medicinal Cauldron withstands the energy, the rebound will either cause the newly stabilized energy cluster to become unbalanced again or escape from the Medicinal Cauldron's opening.

Either way, Lin Ming's alchemy attempt will end in failure. Having come this far, Lin Ming is naturally unwilling to fail.

"Go back!" A furious shout came from Lin Ming's mouth. At this moment, Lin Ming once again drew out his Soul Power and poured it into the Medicinal Cauldron, enveloping and compressing the energy.

Under Lin Ming's immense Spiritual Strength, these energies, which wanted to rush out of the valley like wolves, were driven back into the valley by Lin Ming's tiger-like Spiritual Strength.

"Merge!" After sensing the energy within the Medicinal Cauldron stabilize, Lin Ming changed his hand seals, manipulating the medicinal herbs within the Medicinal Cauldron to form cores.

Having overcome the most difficult energy shock, the formation of the core has become relatively simple. Under Lin Ming's guidance, a milky-white Pill Prototype appeared inside the Medicinal Cauldron, engulfed and scorched by flames.

As the Pill Prototype appeared, the Medicinal Fragrance of the Medicinal Cauldron in front of Lin Ming materialized, floating above Medicinal Cauldron like a thin mist.

"Colored Pill Fragrance!" Someone among the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim. After saying that, they realized their mistake and immediately covered their mouth to stop themselves from making a sound.

However, everyone present was Alchemist. Although some of them were still quite skilled in alchemy, they were all aware of the phenomena that occurred when low- to Low-Grade Pills were formed.

The presence of colored and Colored Pill Fragrance only appears when Tier 5 Medicinal Pill is successfully refined. Of course, some top-tier Tier 4 Medicinal Pill can also exhibit Colored Pill Fragrance characteristic upon successful refinement.

But whether it's Fifth Grade pill or a top-tier 4th Grade pill, the Colored Pill Fragrance appearance only appears after the Pill Formation. Everyone knows what that means.

Across from Lin Ming, his senior brother Xu Shilin, who had finished refining the medicinal herbs, noticed the Colored Pill Fragrance the moment it appeared.

Xu Shilin, the senior disciple, was genuinely delighted to see his junior disciple refine Tier 5 Medicinal Pill.

Of course, aside from congratulating his junior brother, Xu Shilin also felt bad about being surpassed by him. So he was determined to successfully refine the Instant Qi Pill this time as well.

Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief when the Pill Prototype appeared, because all that remained was to use flames to nurture the pill until it was fully developed and its medicinal power was maximized. This step was almost effortless for Alchemist who had reached the point of producing Pill Prototype.

Above the Medicinal Cauldron, the milky white Medicinal Fragrance gradually intensified. In the end, the milky white mist became so dense that those inside could not see their own fingers.

The fact that the Colored Pill Fragrance is so intense indicates that the elixir inside the Medicinal Cauldron has reached its peak of perfection and its medicinal effects have been maximized.

Therefore, Lin Ming stopped channeling his Dou Qi. The instant the flames inside the Medicinal Cauldron went out, a suction force emanated from Lin Ming's hand, followed by a flash of white light disappearing from the Medicinal Cauldron.

Lin Ming opened his hand, and there lay a milky white pill, about the size of a longan, quietly in his palm. The residual warmth on the pill indicated that it had just been made.

Lin Ming took out a Jade Bottle, put the pills into Jade Bottle, then went to Elder Huo's side, held the Jade Bottle with both hands, and stretched out his hands to Elder Huo.

Elder Huo's face was full of smiles. From the unusual phenomenon of the Colored Pill Fragrance pill just now, he could tell that the quality of the Instant Qi Pill that Lin Ming had refined was probably quite high, which was why the Medicinal Fragrance was so strong. So when Lin Ming handed over the Jade Bottle, Elder Huo took Jade Bottle.

After Elder Huo took the Jade Bottle, he opened the stopper, tilted the Jade Bottle downwards, and a round pill rolled out of the Jade Bottle.

As the pill rolled from the Jade Bottle to its mouth, Elder Huo's eyes widened in shock, momentarily stunned. On the milky-white pill was an extremely fine and faint line-like pattern.

Although the lines were extremely fine and faint, they were real, appearing on the surface of the elixir.

For Alchemist to make a pill naturally develop Pill Pattern, every step, from refining the medicinal materials to the final product, must be done almost perfectly in order to produce Pill Pattern.

Although the pill's Pill Pattern are extremely fine and faint, Lin Ming is still very young, and this is Lin Ming first time refining Tier 5 Medicinal Pill.

Elder Huo's alchemy skills had reached the peak of the Fifth Grade, but even Elder Huo couldn't guarantee that the Pill Pattern would appear every time he refined the Instant Qi Pill.

That's why Elder Huo was shocked when he saw the Pill Pattern on it.

After being shocked, Elder Huo put the pill back into the Jade Bottle, sealed it, and handed it to Lin Ming. Then he had Lin Ming stand beside him to watch his senior brother Xu Shilin, who was currently Pill Fusion.

At this moment, Senior Brother Xu Shilin was methodically fusing the extracted Medicinal Material Essence. Judging from the number of Jade Bottle beside him, the medicinal herbs in the Medicinal Cauldron Xu Shilin probably already half full.

For the rest of the time, Lin Ming, like the other observers, watched his senior brother Xu Shilin blend the medicinal herbs.

More than an hour later, as the last Demonic Core Energy from the Jade Bottle was thrown into the Medicinal Cauldron by senior brother Xu Shilin, everyone in the room knew that the final moment had arrived.

Last time, Xu Shilin failed at this very step, mishandling the energy impact, which led to the failure of the alchemy process. What will be the Xu Shilin this time?

Having learned from his previous failed attempt at refining, Xu Shilin, after inputting the Demonic Core Energy into the Medicinal Cauldron, also channeled a large amount of Soul Power into the Medicinal Cauldron to fuse the pills.

At this moment, bulging veins could be seen on the senior brother's forehead and arms.

"Melt it!" A loud shout came from Senior Brother Xu Shilin's mouth. Then, the trembling Medicinal Cauldron in front of him gradually stabilized, and a wisp of white mist appeared on the Medicinal Cauldron.

At the moment the white mist appeared, everyone knew that Xu Shilin had passed the most difficult part of his alchemy process. All that remained was to nurture and refine the pills to complete the process. For Xu Shilin, this step also posed virtually no risk.

Above the Medicinal Cauldron in front of Senior Brother Xu Shilin, the white mist gradually thickened.

Half an hour later, Xu Shilin sensed that the pill had reached its perfect state, so he stopped transmitting his Dou Qi, extracted the pill from the Medicinal Cauldron, and then put it into Jade Bottle.
