But Lin Zheyu did not show it; instead, he listened attentively.

The third elder spoke in great detail, eager to pour his understanding of true intent into Lin Zheyu.

He held high hopes for Lin Zheyu, the newly admitted genius disciple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given special permission for Lin Zheyu to enter the pill room.

"Thank you, Elder, for clearing up my confusion."

"May I, as a disciple, observe the alchemy process from the side?"

Lin Zheyu said.

He was still somewhat unwilling to accept.

If that's the case, following the martial path he had set, cultivating a true intent of utmost rigidity and masculinity, will not be so easy.

Trying to cultivate true intent into energy of utmost rigidity and masculinity is impossible by true intent alone. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The third elder advised that the true intent needs to be comprehended more deeply; by understanding the rules behind it and integrating them into true intent, success might be achieved.

"Of course, there's no problem."

"But you must stand a little further away; even if you have any doubts midway, you must not interrupt. I will solve your doubts after the alchemy is done."

The third elder said with a smile.

"I understand, Elder."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

Soon, the alchemy began.

He stood silently on the side, watching the third and the fifth elders prepare the medicinal materials, handle them, ignite the ground fire, and pave the way for alchemy.

The Primordial Elixir is one of the most precious elixirs in the Infinite Sect, and also the most difficult to refine.

Even the preparation and handling of medicinal materials before alchemy is extremely complex.

Lin Zheyu silently memorized the medicinal materials and their proportions used in the alchemy. He wasn't concerned about the procedure since he didn't need to refine the elixir himself.

'There are several precious medicinal ingredients that can't be bought in the regular pharmacies; I need to try my luck on the black market.'

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

If he cultivated the Primordial Infinite True Skill using Source Power, his progress would be as fast as a rocket.

The cultivation materials needed would be used as if in a flood.

If all the materials were withdrawn from the sect alone, it would probably scare many people.

Cultivation resources deplete so fast, it would be hundreds of times that of an ordinary martial artist; even a fool would sense something wrong.

Bang!

The fifth elder slightly adjusted the position of the pill furnace, causing a dull rumbling sound, drawing Lin Zheyu's thoughts over.

Nearly an hour's preparation was required to complete all the material handling.

Next, came the formal alchemy stage.

The third and fifth elders sat facing the pill furnace, pressing their hands against the four spout-like outlets of the furnace.

Fiery red true intent energy flowed from their bodies, surging down through the openings beneath the pill furnace.

Whoom~

Soon, under the guidance of the fiery red true intent energy, an intense, lava-like blue flame erupted from the openings beneath the furnace.

In an instant, the temperature in the pill room soared.

The massive true intent energy emanating from the third and fifth elders guided this scorching flame into the pill furnace, refining the medicinal materials.

At that moment, the true intent and blue flame combined, and Lin Zheyu had the illusion that the true intent of the two elders was as scorching as fire.

"Such formidable fire control skills."

"Using true intent to control the ground fire, refining the medicinal materials to craft elixirs, requires extremely strong control."

"A single mistake could lead to all the materials being wasted."

"..."

"No wonder alchemists are almost unseen outside."

"To become an alchemist, one must first advance to be a Transforming Force martial artist, condensing true intent containing the essence of fire."

"This single requirement alone stops almost all Loose Cultivators."

"In addition to the knowledge accumulation, elixir formulas, systematic framework, and extensive practice needed by an alchemist, enhancing fire control skills to perfection is essential."

"Without a top-notch sect, it's impossible to cultivate an alchemist."

It was only through observing the entire alchemy process that Lin Zheyu understood the high difficulty of becoming an alchemist.

This was why the market prices for elixirs were so high and such a rarity.

"After returning, try roasting that demon puppet from the storage room with ground fire to see the effects."

"Test what temperature the flames need to reach to cause significant damage to the demon puppet."

"If it still doesn't work, think of a way to bring down the thunder and test the damage effect of Thunder Power on the demon puppet."

"..."

Lin Zheyu pondered his next plan.

Once he finds out the flame temperature capable of damaging the demon puppet, the next step is to find a way to raise the heat of his true intent to that level.

If that doesn't work, then test the thunder's restraining effect on the demon puppet by merging the true intent of thunder.

Lin Zheyu simply couldn't believe, with the assistance of Source Power, that he wouldn't be able to develop a powerful true intent capable of restraining Demon Essence.
