Seeing the medicinal liquid completely blended, Hua Tianxiong finally let out a sigh of relief. The next step was to lower the temperature of the liquid, maintain it at a constant level, and then use his spiritual power to strip all impurities from the mixture. As time passed, the impurities in the stock solution were eventually isolated and removed from the mixture.
Raising the temperature again to a certain degree, he evaporated the moisture from the mixture, preparing to begin condensing it into pills. Although the two most difficult processes—dissolving the medicine and removing impurities—were complete, Hua Tianxiong still dared not relax. Carefully controlling his spiritual power and following the condensation method taught by Elder Xuan, he steadily regulated the temperature inside the cauldron. As the moisture gradually evaporated, the prototype of the medicinal pill began to take shape.
By this time, Hua Tianxiong was covered in sweat, and his spiritual power and divine sense were nearly exhausted. He knew it was not yet the end, but his energy was spent. Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through his mind, followed by a sizzling sound. His control over his divine sense faltered, the medicinal liquid evaporated entirely, and Hua Tianxiong collapsed onto the floor of the cultivation room.
