After resting for one hour, the blue lights were finally restored enough to remove impurities again.

So once again sitting down, Lin Xuan began.

Circulation, controlling the lights to enter the pill…..

BOOM!

Failure, it looked like it was still flowing too fast;  he needed to slow it down more.

After resting again, Lin Xuan tried once more.

He tried to slow down the flow, step by step until he found the limit for what the pill could handle without exploding.

This time, however, there was an accident. When the light entered the pill too slowly, not only did the purification fail, but it also moved the impurities closer together, making them denser and more inseparable.

It seems that going too slow will not work either.

After playing with both ends of speed, Lin Xuan began to consider the situation carefully. This purification process really isn’t easy to grasp, going either too fast or too slow will result in failure. The speed must be controlled in a certain range to be successful.

But exactly how fast or slow was this range? Only by testing over and over again would he find out.

Lin Xuan meditated and rested until the blue lights recovered, then began to purify once he was fully rested again. He worked throughout the night and didn’t sleep at all, continuously cycling through testing and resting in an attempt to master the secrets of the blue lights as soon as possible.

The darkness faded away as the sun raised.

Lin Xuan is holding a pure white pill. After going through the night trying over and over and wasting several trash pills, Lin Xuan finally had a successful purification.

Carefully recalling the moment he found the right amount of speed, Lin Xuan revealed a thoughtful look, and after a short break, he took out another trash pill.

However, after a while, he failed again, Shaking his head, Lin Xuan understood that although the required speed was now clear, his control of the blue lights was still insufficient, leaving no other choice but more practice.

But even with the current success rate, the trash pills could be purified at a rate of two in ten, about twenty percent chance, not too low. And since Elder Ma last time gave him two bottles of trash pills instead of two good pills, he had plenty to spend.

Things could have been a disadvantage, but now with the blue lights …

There were around one hundred pills in one bottle, and two bottles could give out at least forty Purifying Essence Pills. Compared to the original two pills, he had gained twenty times the profit.

Understanding all this, Lin Xuan showed a slight smile, not because he had gained so many pills, but because with the abilities of these blue lights, he finally had the hope to be a cultivator. With enough Spirit Medicine, even ordinary people can be successful.

Finally having a basic understanding of the blue lights, Lin Xuan pushed open his window, to a bright sky, and decided that it was time to practice. He went to the Young Hawk Pavilion and started to meditate. Although now he had the blue lights and didn’t have to worry about the pills, he still had to work hard.

Over the next ten days, Lin Xuan painstakingly cultivated while also quietly purifying the trash pills. Not only was this to get the practice needed but also to try and find other applications of the blue lights.

After all, as a cultivator on the road to immortality, even with no hope, one cannot afford to make any mistakes. After confirming his determination, Lin Xuan began to implement his plan. The process was hard, it can be said that he was trying to cross a river just by holding onto the stones. He held the trash pill, circulated the blue lights, controlled the speed, all while carefully observing this with his soul.

BOOM!

Failed again. Lin Xuan’s face sank, in the eyes of others, trash pills are worthless, but to Lin Xuan, every single trash pill had the chance to become a usable Spirit Medicine, so every waste was distressing.

But now was the trial stage, so losses were inevitable, and in addition to the consumption of trash pills, the volume of the blue lights was also reduced by a lot, forcing Lin Xuan to rest for a while…

In this way, Lin Xuan practiced every day while purifying pills, and after two weeks, his practice finally began to show results. Initially, there was only one success for every five or six attempts, but now after all the hard work, the success rate was one in three.

Originally on his first night, he was only able to purify two pills, but now working through the night he was able to get fifty-six low-grade Purifying Essence Pills.

Speed and success rate have both been greatly improved.

Two bottles of trash pills, after the efforts of a full month, his harvest was higher than anticipated, leaving Lin Xuan sixty usable pills.

Sixty pills was definitely a huge number, as it would take an ordinary disciple thirty months to gather so many pills.

Lin Xuan’s net worth now, can be described as very rich. He carefully collecting all his Purifying Essence Pills, as it was important to keep others from finding out.

With enough pills, then naturally one had to practice hard. After seeing how he was treated by others in Whirlwind Cloud Valley, Lin Xuan has come to understand that strength was the most important thing required to survive as a cultivator. With enough strength, anything can be fair. Justice and truth can be considered as mere lip service to the strong.

The most important thing, in the end, was how much strength one possesses.

And even to cultivators, life was not unlimited, but the higher the cultivation, the longer the life.

Spirit Condensation disciples, have yet to really set foot into the cultivating world, as their lives were barely higher than that of mortals. It was only at the Foundation Establishment stage will their life expectancy double to two hundred years, and it would continue to double as one continued to break through into the next stages.

For example, the Nascent Soul stage would be about eight hundred years, the Separation and Reunion stage would be a thousand six-hundred, etc.

Lin Xuan did not believe in reincarnation after death, as he saw it as an illusory hope for the weak. Although he did not have Spiritual Roots, now that he had the blue lights, Lin Xuan was finally showing some promise.

Lin Xuan made a detailed training plan.

Using the pills as his base, and coordinating it with diligent effort, every morning Lin Xuan took one Purifying Essence Pill and began meditating to refine the Spirit Medicine.

Although in the cultivation world, Purifying Essence Pills were not considered as a wondrous medicine, not everybody could be so luxurious as to take several pills every day after all. Under the stimulation of the pills, in just a week, Lin Xuan felt the spiritual power in his own Dantian was reaching the limit. The concern from the fact that he was almost approaching the bottleneck was gone now.

It was finally time to achieve the second layer of the Spirit Condensation Stage.
