With himself shut within the Private Manor within the Pavilion, Altima started to enter his own Private Cultivation Farm, and inspect the available materials and its quantity before he could start off with something. After checking for a while on the inventory, Altima decided to continue where he left, which is the martial arts mastery and its further refinement.
Starting with the few martial arts he recently obtained from the Cultivator Exchange Manor, Altima starts to refine the martial arts one by one, slowly achieving the Basic mastery, before he moves onwards to another martial art. Continuously, without stopping, Altima spend most of his time grinding his martial art capability.
But to no avail, Altima fail to achieve higher than the basic mastery stage for most of the martial arts he recently obtained. Feeling weird with all the pointless cultivating and martial art sharpening time spent, Altima decided that he need a rest for now. He stopped practicing, and take some time to properly refine some extract of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extract.
Although the process of absorbing the Yin or Yang Essence, converting them into a pill shape form, and condensing and completing, is easy to be done for the Energy Yin or Yang Pills, but the process to refine a total of 10,000 Energy Pills into a single Extreme Extract is arduous and difficult work.
Firstly, one requires to completely melt and combine the 10,000 Energy Pills into a base solution, before they could start to refine and condense the essence energy. The concentration of Zen Essence towards the solution is very sensitive, where a slight mistake will cause the whole 10,000 Energy Pills solution vanished in thin air.
Secondly, after the concentrated solution is thoroughly refined into a watery liquid, carrying a light azure colour on the Yin type, and Light scarlet colour on the Yang type, it is the time to inject a sizable amount of Essence Energy into the liquid and allow the liquid to absorb the essence energy until it glows.
Although the amount of yin or yang essence energy required to inject into the liquid is not same on each batch, but in the end of the result, all of this liquid will form into a liquefied Extreme Extract, where they will be required to be given a certain time to fully mature into an Extreme Extract.
But for Altima, this is no longer a difficult task.
Being skillful in concocting, and obtained the rank of Concocting Master, Altima current success rate to produce the Extreme Extract is close to 90%. Added with the wealthy Yin and Yang Essence within the Private Cultivation Farm, Altima wastes no time and quickly refine his first batch of 100 Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extracts.
Although the Extreme Extract is not differentiated into different quality, but the price range for the Extreme extract is estimated to be reaching 600 Balancing Zen Pill each, and the rate will increase if the production exceeds 100 Units, 500 Units, 1,000 Units, 2,500 Units and 5,000 Units.
As for the reason why the extreme extracts price will increase depending on the volume, is due to the compatibility. A master concocter always depends on one similar essence undulation ingredient, to increase the familiarity towards the material during concoction.
Due to the Extreme Extract is usually come out in the biggest batch of 50 to 500 each time from one refining master, the concocting masters usually fight to decide who could get the extreme extract in hand. After all, the success rate of a Concocting Master who uses the 500 extracts from one same refining master, is always higher by a quarter or 25% rate, compare to some other concocting master who uses 500 extracts from 5 to 10 different refining masters.
Continuously producing the Extreme Extracts, Altima's production keeps coming out, and on the side, its being stored by the professional Goblin that being taught directly by Gunther to assist Altima whenever he needed. Through this way, Altima could keep himself to continue refining, while allowing the underlings to remain beside him to store and pack the Extracts altogether.
Gunther is reliable. The first moment he knows that his master is going to concoct the Extreme Extract, it immediately returns to the smith to start producing a stacking container, with the capacity of 100 units of Extract slots in every stack. By continuously creating the Extreme Extracts, Altima quickly reaches the capacity of 5,000 Units of Extract in each type, before he stopped.
Feeling he is still energetic to continue, Altima started on his concoction. As he still has the bond of 50 Yin Yang Tear Drops and 100 Brilliant Spirit Pill to have the full ownership of this two Recipe, Altima decided to quickly finish off this bond, as well as complete the concoction for this two new recipes.
Without wasting any single second, Altima started his ingredient sorting, cleaning, and processing all the required extract and essence required from the Pure Yin Silk Worm and the Pure Yang 1,000 years King Mandrake. Upon completely extracting all the required essence from the ingredient, Altima started his concoction.
Withdrawing the Black Metal Dragon Fire Cauldron, Altima starts first by heating the cauldron internally and externally using a pure Flame of Yang and allows the cauldron to absorb a large amount of Yang Essence. With the Cauldron turning from black color into a lava reddish hue, Altima started the concoction by placing 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills as the base of the Yin Yang Tear Drops.
Next, an equal amount of Extract from Yin and Yang is evenly placed within the cauldron, allowing the balancing zen pills to slowly gathered around the two different extreme extracts. With the concoction flow of energy going within, the internal space of the cauldron manage to form a sphere shape of balancing zen pill, with the extreme extract being in the middle of two different flows.
The Yang Flow towards the clockwise, while the Yin Flows toward the anti-clockwise. This two flow continuously clash with each other, as the balancing zen pill started to be destroyed slowly, and being absorbed into the Yin Extract and Yang Extract.
Soon, the Balancing Zen Pills within started to reduce to nothing left, almost all had been absorbed into the Extract, so Altima proceeds with the final step, which is to allow the Pure Yin Silk Worm's Essence and the Pure Yang King Mandrake's Extract to enter the cauldron.

Unexpectedly, The Yin Extract Charge towards the King Mandrake's Extract, and aggressively trying to consume the extract, while the Silk Worm Essence is ignored by the Yang Extract. Soon, the concoction goes into its first failure, and all the ingredient within is wasted.
"Where are the mistakes within this concoction ?"
Altima double check on his concoction step by steps, and slowly find the fault between his concoction. Due to the written guidance within the recipes is too vague, Altima has no other choices but to refine the Drops, again and again, to find the mistakes within.
Very quickly, Altima wastage increased from 10 to 100, and soon increased into 350, then only he found out the mistakes in between his concocting steps.
"Now I finally notice the difference between life concoction method and basic concocting method."
Receiving the enlightenment on the Yin Yang Tear Drops concoction method, Altima restarts his method once again.
Firstly, Altima injects a large amount of Yin Essence and Yang Essence into the Pure Yin Silk Worm and the Pure Yang King Mandrake, thoroughly filling this two living ingredients with the power of life. The Silkworm manages to form a cocoon upon its maturity, and wrapped itself in the Yin rich silk, while the King Mandrake started to peel off its skin, releasing a red flesh hidden behind its walking root.
Next, he proceeds to totally grind the Balancing Zen Pills into powder form, before he pours in the Extreme Extract into the powder and allows the extract to assimilate and combined together, forming two spheres of liquid rich with Yin essence and Yang Essence.
Lastly, Altima places the Silk Worm in the cocoon to the Yang Extract, to stress the growth of the silk worm, while the King Mandrake to the Yin Extract, to excite the king mandrake. Adjusting the flame and frost below the Cauldron, Altima created two different worlds within the Cauldron, one Freezing, and another Blazing, and allows the Silk Worm and King Mandrake to cultivate the Extract.
Very Soon, the cocoon slowly losing it luster Yin essence shine, and turn flattened. The similar reaction happened on the king mandrake, where the whole root seems to be dried and collapse, leaving only the reddish mandrake skin. Altima finally retrieves the two different Living ingredient, and by removing the cocoon silk, One piece of the Yin Tear encased within, while another half of the Yang Tear is retrieved from within the Mandrake Skin.
By placing the two piece of Teardrops together, the pulling energy came within the drops started to attract each other, and cause the two piece to combined into one, and giving a different kind of energy within when it is separated.
Without wasting time wondering the effect this Essence Drop might bring, Altima places it into his mouth and swallow the essence drops without worries.
Instantly, a hot and cold feeling came unleashed out from his middle Dantian, causing his body to be swirled and covered with two different fierce energy. Altima quickly returns to his cultivating stance, and slowly restrict the flow of the Hot and Cold energy, and making the flow into a spiral shape, before controlling his spiritual body to absorb the released Yin Yang Essence. After spending about 30 minutes in absorbing the medicinal value brought by the Yin Yang Tear Drops, Altima notices an increased of 2% of strength in his spiritual body, and the increment doesn’t require any practice to get used to the adjustment.
"This is good Stuff!"
Without noticing his changes of language, Altima actually blurts out some of his before reincarnation's slang out from his mouth.
By grasping this correct concocting method, Altima wastes no time but to diligently concoct all available material into the Yin Yang Tear Drops. Other than leaving a total of 50 Pure Yin Silk Worm and 50 Pure Yang 1,000 Years King Mandrake to be taken care and breeding of the hands of the elves, Altima successfully concoct a total of 200 Units of the Yin Yang Tear Drops.
With the task in hand for Yin Yang Tear Drops is completed, Altima passes a message to Gunther and had him prepare a total of 150 Casings, plated with Briolite External and Soulless Crystal Internally. Within half a day, the casing is complete, and each of the Yin Yang Tear Drops is well kept within the Case to be protected nicely, without allowing any of the medicinal effect to flow out wastefully.
Next, Altima starts with the concoction of the Brilliant Spirit Pill. Instead of trying it in a conventional way, Altima went straight ahead with the Living ingredient concoction method. Firstly, Altima has the Elder Mandrake and the Young Yin Tree Snake to consume the Spiritual Corpse Ash and the Demonite Stone accordingly.
But this time, instead of having big changes within the living ingredient, the Elder Mandrake and Young Tin Tree Snake started to overfilled with ridiculous essence energy, and their body started to evaporate, leaving only a transparent but brilliant Soul within the concocting table.
With the primary preparation is complete, Altima place the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extract into the cauldron, along with the Soul of the 500 years Elder Mandrake and Young Yin Tree Snake Soul. Placing a total of 4 fire in the opened inlet, Altima charges his 4 Yang Flame into its maximum strength, forcing all the ingredient to combined into a single pill, and refined again and again, until there are no more flakes to be produced from the heating of the Pill.
Next, Altima shifts the Yang Flame into the Yin Frost. Instantly, the Pill is chilled into a -200 Degree, and the useless impurities started to drill out from the inner of the pill, leaving the to looked like a bee nest. With no medicinal properties is released from this Bee nest looking pill, Altima considers the concoction to be a failure.
As he moves his hand over to grab the pill, Altima put a pressure to destroy the failed medicinal Pill, but as crush the pill, a harder and sturdier form of bead is found within, revealing itself to be a transparent glass-like bead, releasing out a large amount of spiritual energy which Is nutritious towards the Spiritual Body.
As Altima swallow the pill, the successful Brilliant Spirit Pill melted within his stomach, and a wave of energy flows automatically to his spiritual body, nourishing and energizing the spiritual body. Although Altima has no injuries on his spiritual body at the moment, the brilliant Spirit Pill still manage to heal and recover a little of the Spiritual Body's condition.
With this effect, Altima finally understood one fact.
"Although I have no injuries, but this doesn’t mean I am in my top condition. This fact applies toward my spiritual body as well. The body will feel tired, fatigued, stressed, and disturbed if the physical body is not well maintained. I should focus more on the Body Recovering Art, perhaps I would found a few during the Grand Auction of Primordial Ark."
Continuing the concoction, Altima quickly finishes the 999 Units left within his inventory, and similar to the Yin Yang Tear Drops, Altima provides a total of 50 elder mandrakes and 50 Young Yin Tree Snake to the Ancient Elves, to be breed and reproduce.
Within the 999 units left, Altima successfully concoct a total of 550 units, and the balance of 449 is either failure or the purity within the ingredient is not up to standard, leading to the failure of producing the soul required before the main part of the concoction.
Within the concoction task is completed as well, Altima checked on the time remaining for him to spend before the Primordial Ark reach Lan Shen Dalu. Going without notice, Altima already spent around 2 weeks in the room to concoct and martial practice.
Finally, Altima emerges from the manor he is staying within, and to his surprise, Gan Ning actually seated outside of his manor, awaiting him to come out.
"What are you doing outside here, Brat ?"
Altima quickly teases Gan Ning.
"During this two weeks, I had myself diligently trained the Martial art and Cultivate my Strength. I just manage to enter the Warrior Stage yesterday. So I thought I should drop by to say thank you. Are you leaving ?"
Gan Ning replied, and give Altima a respectful bow as a good gesture.
"Yes, I am leaving, but not the city. I'm want to pay a visit to the Market Street owned by the City Lord, can you bring the way ?"
Altima replied.
Without waiting for any answers, Altima starts walking, while Gan Ning followed beside him. Although this duo only has known each other for a day, but the trust between them is deeper than anyone else. Spending a total of 20 minutes walking, Altima and Gan Ning finally reach the Market Street, where the Sun and Moon Great City most flourishing and busiest District is located.
