Immediately, with a spell cast, the refining of this pill began.

Compared to the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, the refining of the Profound Wood Ganoderma Pill was slightly simpler.

However, at this moment, when Chu Ning used the fire manipulation technique, he employed the perfected Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill fire manipulation technique.

As a result, the first batch of this Profound Wood Ganoderma Pill directly formed nine pills.

"Indeed, the fire control technique of the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill serves as the foundation for high-tier elixirs in the Jiuhua Sect.

No wonder Ling Cang was so delighted after I perfected it."

Chu Ning mused in his heart, then placed the elixir back into the Pill Furnace.

Refining Spirit!

This was a unique talent belonging to Chu Ning, which he had never shown to anyone, yet almost every elixir he consumed was refined by him.

To further enhance the grade and efficacy.

Once, twice... after seven rounds of refining spirit, Chu Ning observed the Profound Wood Ganoderma Pill in his hand, frowning slightly.

He could already feel that after the seventh refinement, the pill had reached its limit.

If refined further, the pill would be ruined.

"This pill is still an Intermediate Upper Grade Elixir, but I can sense it has reached a very high quality for its grade.

If it can advance further, it could become an Advanced Elixir."

Chu Ning murmured to himself.

An Intermediate Upper Grade Elixir, similar in grade to the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill he had publicly refined earlier.

"Unfortunately, the nine Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pills I refined have already been handed over to Ling Cang and He Yanmao for research.

Otherwise, refining spirit on an Intermediate High Grade Elixir might elevate it to an Advanced Elixir’s grade."

Of course, even so, Chu Ning was not fully satisfied.

What he most wanted was to refine a Fire and Wood Dual Attribute Advanced Elixir through refining spirit.

This would significantly improve his Flame Divine Wood Technique.

However, to achieve this, it seems he must first refine an Intermediate Upper Grade Fire and Wood Dual Attribute Elixir.

At this moment, Chu Ning recalled the process of his recent alchemy and the insights he gained over the past month from studying the pill formula.

"In the Profound Wood Ganoderma Pill, the use of Golden Ganoderma and Profound Wood Root strives for a balance of Fire and Wood Dual Attributes.

Because the Fire and Wood Dual-attribute Spiritual Qi of these two spirit medicines is very close and not conflicting.

But actually, the efficacy of these two spirit medicines is not top-notch, so to further enhance the quality, higher-quality spirit medicines are needed."

With this thought, Chu Ning took out a Jade Box from his Storage Bag.

Then he extracted several Flame Wood Twin Fruits.

"If I directly replace or add the Flame Wood Twin Fruit during refining.

Could it possibly elevate the pill by a grade?"

With this thought, Chu Ning felt it was worth a try.

The pure Fire and Wood Dual Attribute Spiritual Power within the Flame Wood Twin Fruit was well known to him.

After all, using this fruit as the main ingredient, along with a few not-so-advanced spirit medicines, he had refined the Profound Spirit Treasure Pill.

"If replaced directly, it might not elevate the pill by an entire grade, but adding it could work.

However, adjustments will be needed during the extraction and fusion process.

Moreover, Gold and Silver Dew, Dragon Gallstone need to be added too."

Chu Ning did not rush. He began to ponder how to perfect the alchemical steps based on his mastery of alchemy techniques.

He even simulated every step in his mind, predicting the possible changes within the Alchemy Furnace. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This deliberation took him a full seven days before Chu Ning finalized his deductions.

"Let’s give it a try!"

Chu Ning murmured softly, then cast several spells into the Alchemy Furnace.

After controlling the fire, Chu Ning formally commenced refining.

One by one, spirit medicines were placed into the Pill Furnace by Chu Ning, without much hesitation or doubt.

After all, these steps had been rehearsed in his mind countless times.

However, when Chu Ning placed the Flame Wood Twin Fruit in, and just as he activated the spell to begin extraction.

"Boom!!"

A loud noise emanated from the Alchemy Furnace.

The next moment, the lid of the Alchemy Furnace flew off.

At the same time, a surge of tumultuous spiritual energy erupted from the Alchemy Furnace, filling the Alchemy Room with chaotic spiritual energy.

Even the Alchemy Furnace itself was lifted by the force.

Chu Ning’s expression changed as he quickly formed a protective magic shield in front of himself.

After the Alchemy Furnace soared and then plummeted, with spirit medicine liquid splattering everywhere.

Chu Ning dispersed the protective magic shield.

Simultaneously, he swiftly cast spells with both hands to stabilize the faintly out-of-control Earth Fire.

"This seems to be the first time I’ve experienced a furnace explosion; indeed, crafting new pills isn’t easy.

Especially those of such high grade."

While tidying up the messy Alchemy Room, Chu Ning thought to himself.

Over these years, with the Primordial Pill Spirit Body and mature pill formulas, despite some fluctuations in pill formation success rate.

Overall, his path in alchemy had been smooth, always managing to produce some pills no matter what.

But this time, the furnace exploded, destroying all the spirit medicines.

Fortunately, the Alchemy Furnace was of high quality, or Chu Ning would have needed a new one.

With a slight reflection, Chu Ning began to recollect the process of the recent failed alchemy.

"Indeed, practice yields true knowledge. Despite simulating many times, issues still arose."
