This time, Austin intended to refine the Spirit-nourishing Elixir of the fourth grade, a kind of elixir specially made for improving the spiritual sense of cultivators.
Its main function was to nourish and strengthen the spiritual souls and spiritual senses of the cultivators that were going to take it.
In alchemy circles, there was a consensus that all spiritual elixirs were relatively difficult to be refined.
However, this Spirit-nourishing Elixir was a kind of elixir that was relatively more difficult to be refined among the fourth grade elixirs.
Austin found all the herbs needed to make a Spirit-nourishing Elixir in the cave of the Elder Drew. He piled them all up neatly beside him and sat down in a lotus position.
In his mind, he went over the refining methods for the Spirit-nourishing Elixir and the matters that needed attention.
Then, he began to refine the elixir.
First of all, he should burn the herbs, remove the dross and retain their essence.
Austin put his hand on the flame entrance of the herbal pot and sent in a golden flame.
Suddenly, the herbal pot was set ablaze with powerful fire.
With a simple move of Austin's hand, the first herb was thrown in from the herb entrance above the pot.
He then controlled the degree of the fire to the appropriate level, and burned the herb.
Soon after, a light green liquid was successfully extracted from the herb, which then floated into the chamber of the pot.
Austin then began to burn the second herb.
Austin became completely immersed in the refinement of the Spirit-nourishing Elixir that he was able to do it all day.
During the day, Austin was able to make a total of ten batches of the Spirit-nourishing Elixirs.
Seven were successfully produced, while three failed because of inaccurate timing or undesirable fire conditions.
Putting this into numbers, Austin's production rate for the Spirit-nourishing Elixir was 70%.
Since Spirit-nourishing Elixir was an elixir that was more difficult to be refined as compared to other fourth grade elixirs, Austin's rate of success was actually very impressive.
In order to see how well he was able to refine the Spirit-nourishing Elixir, Austin tasted one of the good one. As soon as it entered into his digestive system, a warm stream of heat rushed to his Soul Sea, and his whole Soul Sea became very calm. He felt very comfortable.
With that, it seemed that the quality of the elixir was top-notch.
Seeing the success of his refinement despite him current level of alchemy skill, he thought to challenge himself to be a fifth grade pill refiner.
Back in the Mysterious Nether World, Angus had given him numerous elixir formulas.
He went through that again and was able to find a relatively easy-to-refine fifth-grade elixir formula—the Earth Scorching Elixir.
The main function of the Earth Scorching Elixir was to quickly replenish the vital energy of a cultivator.
Such an elixir would be useful during a fight when a cultivator had unexpectedly lost too much vital energy. Using this elixir would grant him or her a chance to survive through the battle.
Without wasting any time, Austin looked at the elixirs in Drew's cave dwelling. Carefully picking through stuff, he was able to get enough herbs that would produce more than a dozen batches of the Earth Scorching Elixirs. . . . .
Right after getting all he needed, Austin went back to his place and once again arranged his stuff neatly beside him. He had just sat down in a lotus position when suddenly a voice came in from outside the cave.
"Elder Drew, I'm Foster. The Elder Council wants me to send you a message!"
Since no one was answering, Foster called out several more times outside the cave.
After contemplating whether to go out or not, Austin decided to face Foster.
His voice didn't have any sign that would lead Austin to believe that he was here with bad news.
He had said before that he would ask the elders of their sect to recruit him as an official alchemy disciple of the Magic Hand Sect.
Perhaps he came here because they had already agreed upon a decision about that matter, so he was actually here to pick up Austin from Drew's place?
Austin went out of the cave and found that it was indeed Foster.
Upon seeing Austin, Foster became very surprised and immediately asked, "Marsh, are you all right?"
Austin was a little touched by this gesture from Foster. To him, it was a testament to Foster's sincerity and how he truly cared about him.
"Steward Foster, thank you for your concern.
I'm all right," he answered, a wide smile on his lips.
"Ha-ha, you really surprised me!" Foster said, as he started to cackle. After pulling himself together, he took a deep breath and locked his gaze on Austin.
"Marsh, let me tell you some good news.
I have reported your amazing run at the assessment to several elders in our Elder Council and..." Foster paused as if to create an environment of anticipation.
"The Elder Council has approved your admission as an alchemy disciple in our Magic Hand Sect!"
Foster exclaimed with a huge smile.
Austin pretended to be ecstatic immediately.
