Two hours later, Li Lin finally refined all the ingredients for the Foundation Top Pill into spiritual liquids. At this point, he felt completely drained of spiritual energy and was extremely fatigued.
Li Lin then began to recuperate, slowly restoring his spiritual energy and eliminating his fatigue.
After recovering, Li Lin felt rejuvenated and sensed a slight increase in his spiritual energy. He then resumed the pill-making process.
Injecting spiritual energy into the Fire Dragon Cauldron, the substantial blue and red flames reignited. Now, Li Lin's task was to merge these spiritual liquids into a pill.
This was the most challenging part. Each ingredient had some resistance, and the compatibility of the medicinal herbs also caused resistance. The suitable temperature for each herb varied, and all of these factors needed to be controlled with spiritual power, requiring a strong and sensitive soul.
As the saying goes, "A miss is as good as a mile." Any mistake could ruin the pill. Without Uncle Jiang's guidance, Li Lin knew he had to rely entirely on himself this time.
"I can do it, I must," Li Lin encouraged himself. He had to face future challenges alone and succeed.
Unaware that someone was approaching his usually deserted courtyard, Li Lin focused intently on making the Foundation Top Pill. The visitor, wearing a brocade robe that outlined her graceful figure, with long legs and black hair fluttering at her temples, exuding an aura of elegance, was Li Wushuang.
Since sensing some invisible changes in Li Lin, Li Wushuang's curiosity had been piqued, and she wanted to know more about her cousin.
As she stepped into the courtyard, Li Wushuang noticed it was empty and was about to leave when she sensed a strong aroma of medicinal herbs and a fluctuation of energy from a room.
At nineteen years old, already a first-tier Martial Master, her skills were considered strong in the Li family. Sensing something unusual, Li Wushuang cautiously approached the source of the energy fluctuations, readying her Qi.
Reaching Li Lin's door, she was shocked to see him making a pill. Having seen other spiritualists make pills before, she could tell that Li Lin, surrounded by spiritual energy, was a spiritualist capable of making pills – a formal one above the Lingtu level.
Watching Li Lin's hand movements and the energy he emitted, Li Wushuang could hardly believe what she was seeing. If she hadn't witnessed it herself, who would have thought that Li Lin, seen as a useless member of the family, was actually a spiritualist?
"Everyone was wrong about him; he's a spiritualist. Why is he hiding his abilities?" Li Wushuang thought, surprised.
"Looks like he was forced to hide his strength. It's best not to let him know I'm aware. If he can hide his abilities, then he should be fine in the future," she thought, smiling softly and quietly leaving the courtyard, understanding why Li Lin chose to conceal his abilities.
"This guy should be more careful. If others saw him, it could bring trouble," Li Wushuang muttered as she stood at the courtyard gate.
Back in the room, Li Lin, completely focused on making the Foundation Top Pill, didn't notice that someone had just been outside his door. Any experienced spiritualist would have detected Li Wushuang's presence, but Li Lin, absorbed in his task and worried about the potential failure of the pill, was oblivious to the exposure of his spiritualist identity.
"Clang…"
Two hours later, the lid of the cauldron opened, and a thumb-sized yellow pill emerged, enveloped in blue and red flames.
"Success, finally!" Li Lin smiled wearily but excitedly, having made a pill entirely on his own.
"Is it done? It must be successful," Li Wushuang thought, sensing the commotion in the courtyard. Smiling slightly, she glanced back at Li Lin's room and then left.
Packing away the Foundation Top Pill, Li Lin felt an urge to consume and refine it immediately, knowing it would advance his martial level.
However, he realized that selling the pill could fetch a higher price than the materials cost. With the proceeds, he could buy more ingredients and continue the cycle, ensuring he had enough funds for future purchases.
Deciding to sell the pill that afternoon, Li Lin tidied up and left the house, taking the back door to the market.

"Miss, we've gathered information about Li Lin," reported a martial steward in an elegantly furnished room. Du Gu Binglan and her maid, Cuiyu, were discussing.
"Let's hear it," Du Gu Binglan said.
The steward reported, "According to our investigation, Li Lin is the son of the Li family's third son and a maid. He has been marginalized due to his original wife Zhao's hostility and his inability to cultivate Qi and become a fighter. His status in the family is almost like that of a servant, and he's often humiliated by Zhao's side. The third son doesn't dare speak up, and there's nothing else noteworthy."
"What about that Zhao family?" Cuiyu asked.
"Yes, that Zhao family. The Li family seems afraid to offend them, hence Li Lin's current situation," the steward replied.
"From what I saw of Li Lin the other day, he doesn’t seem ordinary. A mediocre person wouldn't have such a demeanor, and he buys materials for pill-making, not relying on the Li family. Miss, we should keep an eye on Li Lin. If he comes again to buy materials, it proves that even if he's not a spiritualist, there must be one behind him," Cuiyu suggested.
