Having finally reached the fusion stage, Hua Tianxiong found his spiritual power lacking once more. After all, the Minor Recovery Pill was composed of five types of Spirit Medicine, whereas the Body Tempering Pill required only three. Furthermore, the amount of Spirit Medicine needed for the Minor Recovery Pill was double that of the Body Tempering Pill. Consequently, his first three attempts at alchemy had all ended in failure.
However, Hua Tianxiong was not discouraged. Sensing the new opportunities for improvement and his own shortcomings in alchemy, he was possessed by a dogged determination to press forward despite the dangers, like a man heading straight into the tiger's den. He retreated into the Star Domain Cauldron, retrieved several hundred stalks of Spirit Medicine for the Minor Recovery Pill, restored his cultivation to its peak, and immediately threw himself back into the intense process of alchemy.
For the fourth furnace, Hua Tianxiong added five stalks of Blood Recovery Grass at once. After all, the Blood Recovery Grass was the most essential ingredient for the Minor Recovery Pill, requiring five stalks per batch. Having learned from his first three experiments, Hua Tianxiong had discovered a certain rhythm; instead of extracting the essence one stalk at a time, he did all five at once. He had previously extracted five stalks of Silver Leaf Grass simultaneously while crafting the Body Tempering Pill, so he had already accumulated some experience.
