Half a day later, led by Venerable Tian He, they quickly found the medicinal ingredients in the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range. Xiao Li's required ingredients were quickly found. A Dou Zun Expert took him flying, making Xiao Li feel like the second trial lacked any real experience.
At this moment, Xiao Li and Venerable Tian He were in a hidden Immortal Cave.
Several medicinal ingredients appeared before Venerable Tian He: earth core soul marrow, Star Soul Ganoderma, Willow Wood Soul Marrow, Pill Spirit Plasma, and Gastrodia Jade Essence.
Venerable Tian He was currently studying the sequence for refining the medicinal liquid. Since this medicinal liquid had no name, Venerable Tian He, on his own accord, named it'Spirit Ascension Fluid,' a spiritual liquid capable of enhancing the Soul.
"Good! We can begin now." Venerable Tian He was already prepared. He took out his Medicine Cauldron, then put the medicinal ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron. Afterward, a white flame appeared in Venerable Tian He's hand.
"What kind of flame is this? So strong, a Heavenly Flame? Bone Chilling Flame? It doesn't look like it," Xiao Li said, looking at the flame in Venerable Tian He's hand.
"Hehe, you're inexperienced, aren't you? What this old man holds is a ninth-tier beast flame, named White Crane Flame. This old man found it in the remains of a ninth-tier White Feather Sacred Crane back then."
Venerable Tian He said proudly. Then, the white flame in his hand transformed into a crane shape and flew into the Medicine Cauldron.
Xiao Li sat by, observing Venerable Tian He's flame control techniques. Watching an Grade 8 Alchemist refine medicinal liquid up close was a good Opportunity. The techniques of an Grade 8 Alchemist were enough for Xiao Li to learn a lot at this time.
Xiao Li stroked his chin. If he were to refine this medicinal liquid himself, he would fail many times, at least half of the medicinal ingredients would be consumed. However, Venerable Tian He, an Grade 8 Alchemist, directly put all the medicinal ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron.
He was truly bold due to his skill. If he failed, all the medicinal ingredients would be destroyed. One could only say that as an Grade 8 Alchemist, his courage was indeed great.
That's right, Venerable Tian He was an Grade 8 Alchemist, his Soul Realm had reached the Early Stage Peak of the Spirit Realm. With his ability, refining an Eighth Grade Pill with a three-colored Pill Lightning was absolutely no problem. If he was lucky, a four-colored Pill Lightning or five-colored Pill Lightning was also possible.
However, four-colored and five-colored Pill Lightnings were a bit troublesome for Venerable Tian He to handle.
Venerable Tian He came to this Pill Gathering precisely for the Soul Cultivation Technique. His Soul Realm had been stuck in the Early Stage for too long. If he wanted to continue improving his Alchemy, he had to Breakthrough his Soul Realm. Now, this medicinal liquid gave him an Opportunity.
Venerable Tian He thought that if he could refine this Spirit Ascension Fluid and consume it, his Soul Power would definitely Breakthrough again. As long as he broke through to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Realm, Venerable Tian He would not have made this trip to the Pill Gathering in vain.
As time passed, a rich aroma diffused. Venerable Tian He began to retract the flame, keeping it at a constant temperature to continue warming the medicinal liquid.
"Little friend, quickly grab a large jade basin!" Venerable Tian He said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately took out a large cold jade basin. Xiao Li had specially bought this at the Alchemist's trade fair to hold special medicinal liquids.
"Rise!"
Venerable Tian He put away the flame, then used Dou Qi to suspend the Medicine Cauldron and poured the liquid from the Medicine Cauldron into the jade basin.
At this moment, the cold jade basin contained a jade-green liquid with an extremely rich aroma. Just smelling it briefly made one feel incredibly comfortable!
"Alright, it's done. The Spirit Ascension Fluid is refined. Little friend, as we agreed before, you get half and I get half. Am I fair enough?" Venerable Tian He said with a smile.
"Senior, this junior's admiration for you is like a surging river, endless..." Xiao Li said with a grin.
"Alright, alright, no need for flattery. Oh, right, this Spirit Ascension Fluid's medicinal effect is probably quite potent. You can't drink it all at once; your body probably won't be able to withstand such a massive medicinal power."
Venerable Tian He waved his hand, and several jade bowls appeared. Then, Venerable Tian He took half of the Spirit Ascension Fluid from the jade basin and went deep into the Immortal Cave, preparing to consume the medicinal liquid and go into seclusion to enhance his Soul Power.
Xiao Li scratched his head: "This Senior's personality is really good. The rest is mine, I'll store it first."
Xiao Li took out jade bottles and collected the remaining half of the Spirit Ascension Fluid. It took eight jade bottles to store it all.
Xiao Li held two jade bottles in his hand. He planned to consume two portions of Spirit Ascension Fluid to raise his Soul to the Spirit Realm! Without further ado, Xiao Li gulped down the Spirit Ascension Fluid.

The moment the Spirit Ascension Fluid poured into his body, Xiao Li's head immediately felt a 'buzz.' The Soul Power in his glabella, at this moment, swelled abruptly as if it had consumed a catalyst.
The rapid expansion caused a severe throbbing pain in Xiao Li's glabella, as if his head was about to explode at that very moment!
"Peak of Soul, guiding stars into orifices, gathering stars to form spirit, soul nurturing forging Soul..."
Xiao Li began to silently recite the incantation. Then, the Yin Yang Heart Flame within his body began to refine the Spirit Ascension Fluid.
Upon contact with the Heavenly Flame, the Spirit Ascension Fluid immediately released a terrifyingly powerful and peculiar energy, rapidly seeping into his Soul. At the same time, the strength of his Soul also dramatically increased, as if it had consumed some great tonic!
While Xiao Li was refining the Spirit Ascension Fluid, the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space continuously surged into Xiao Li's glabella, making his head feel somewhat bloated.
Boom!
A strange fluctuation emanated from Xiao Li's glabella and quickly spread out, startling the nearby Demonic Beasts and people.
"This is! Someone's Soul has advanced to the Spirit Realm!" an elderly Alchemist said, trembling.
Many Alchemists began to rush towards the source of the anomaly, whether to kill and seize treasures or to observe a powerful expert. They went with different motives.
However, when they approached within half a mile of the Immortal Cave, a golden and silver figure swiftly flashed past, killing two Dou Zongs and several Dou Huangs in just a few breaths.
"A Dou Zun-level Puppet!"
Seeing a Dou Zun-level Puppet guarding the area, many people retreated. Of course, there were also those who disbelieved and insisted on charging forward, only to be met by the Earth Demon Puppet's fist.
Xiao Li was unaware of what was happening outside. He was now completely immersed in the rich Spiritual Qi, in that comfortable feeling deep within his Soul.
Due to the massive influx of Spiritual Qi, Xiao Li's glabella was also gradually undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Time flowed like water, quietly passing. In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Xiao Li went into seclusion to Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm. During these seven days, the anomaly in this world also gradually dissipated.
Venerable Tian He sat by, watching Xiao Li, who was sitting cross-legged. At this moment, Venerable Tian He's eyes were deeper, and he exuded a more unfathomable aura.
"Is this little fellow not done yet? Hehe, an eight-star Dou Huang's Soul Realm reaching the Spirit Realm, hehe, I wonder how many old fellows will collapse. They've cultivated their entire lives and still haven't reached the Spirit Realm, yet a little fellow has."
Venerable Tian He said with a faint smile. He had already used the medicinal power of the Spirit Ascension Fluid to reach the Middle Stage of the Spirit Realm. The Breakthrough in his Soul Realm also caused his Dou Qi Bottleneck to loosen slightly.
Buzz—
Xiao Li opened his eyes, and a vast Soul Power swept out like a towering wave.
"Thank you, Senior." The first thing Xiao Li did upon waking was to thank Venerable Tian He.
"Hahaha, it's no big deal, no big deal. You're too young, and perhaps this is your first time in the Central Plains, so you don't quite understand this old man's reputation. You can inquire about it later; this old man's reputation in the Central Plains is quite good.
You don't need to call this old man Senior anymore. My surname is Jiang; just call this old man Elder Jiang."
Venerable Tian He waved his hand.
"Elder Jiang."
