“Alchemical refining, commence!” Leo’s right hand formed seals, and with a light shout, the lid of the Mystical Sky Bagua-Patterned Alchemical Furnace automatically opened. Then, with a gesture of his right hand, the Firebird Elemental Core flew into the furnace.
To concoct the Essence Boosting Pill, the first step was to use Spiritual Fire to melt the Fire Bird Elemental Core into liquid form. After more than ten minutes, once the Fire Bird Elemental Core had completely liquefied, Leo, with another gesture, guided the Fire Yang Grass, Black Gold Flower, Jade Marrow Rock Flower, and other medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
The process of alchemy was time-consuming. Lights in the villa and the surroundings gradually lit up. Under the embellishment of the lights, the beautiful night scenery of the Lynd family estate unfolded.
When the moon was high in the sky, in the room on the top floor of the mansion, Leo had already finished refining the Essence Boosting Pill.
Next, Leo enjoyed a refreshing hot bath in the spacious and luxurious bathroom.
Outside the room, Devin Lynd had been waiting for some time. At this moment, Devin Lynd couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous, excited, and conflicted.
Several times he had wanted to knock on the door but was afraid of disturbing Leo’s alchemy. After waiting a bit longer, estimating that Leo had finished, Devin Lynd finally mustered the courage to reach for the doorknob.
However, just as his hand extended, Leo’s voice came from the room, “No need to knock; come in.”
Devin Lynd felt a rush of joy and, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, opened the door.
Entering the room, Devin Lynd was about to ask if Leo had successfully refined the Essence Boosting Pill, but the words didn’t come out. Devin Lynd had experienced the extreme disappointment following intense anticipation. Another blow like that, and he might go crazy. So, he held back his question and instead said respectfully, “Mr. Bloomer, dinner is ready for you. Please follow me downstairs.”
“Don’t you want to know if the Essence Boosting Pill was successfully refined?” Leo’s lips curled into a smile.
Devin Lynd lifted his head, his gaze filled with anticipation.
Leo flicked his right hand, and a faint golden light flew toward Devin Lynd.
Devin Lynd’s heart fluttered, and he quickly reached out to catch it.
Opening his palm, Devin Lynd held a pale golden pill. The pill exuded a unique and rich medicinal fragrance, intoxicating Devin Lynd with just its aroma.
Taking a deep breath, Devin Lynd’s expression became extremely excited and jubilant. His old face even turned somewhat red due to this excitement.
Without a doubt, the golden pill in his hand was the Essence Boosting Pill.
With the Essence Boosting Pill, he could completely eliminate the cold poison within him, liberating himself from the torment of the cold poison and reclaiming his status as a true man.
Devin Lynd’s trembling right hand, holding the Essence Boosting Pill, couldn’t be suppressed. His eyes even welled up with tears of excitement.
Understanding Devin Lynd’s current emotions, Leo said, “Alright, go ahead and take the Essence Boosting Pill. In just an hour, the cold poison in your body will be completely eliminated.”
Devin Lynd did not hesitate and swallowed the Essence Boosting Pill without a second thought. The pill dissolved instantly, transforming into a warm current that entered Devin Lynd’s stomach.
Feeling the changes in his body, Devin Lynd’s face lit up with a surprised expression. He then looked at Leo with a tone of even greater respect and said, “Mr. Bloomer, please join me for dinner.”
Leo nodded and walked out of the room, following Devin Lynd downstairs to the dining room.
The first-floor dining room in the mansion was opulent. The table was an oval-shaped European style, estimated to be over twenty meters long. Additionally, there was a distinctive fireplace burning smokeless fire.
In the dining room, the elders and some direct members of the Lynd family, who were previously in the council hall, had also arrived. They stood on one side, waiting for Leo with respectful expressions.
Regardless of whether these people were genuine or not, they had put in a lot of effort for appearances’ sake. Tonight’s dinner could be said to be the Lynd family’s most high-profile event in recent years.
Apart from delicious dishes, there were beautiful women in uniforms serving on the side.
After Leo took his seat at the head, the rest of the Lynd family members took their seats as well. Dinner details need not be detailed; just know that Leo had established the highest position within the Lynd family.
After finishing dinner, Leo returned to the room on the top floor.
Next, he planned to cultivate using Spiritual Stones.
Taking out a Spiritual Stone from the spatial storage charm, Leo placed it in front of him, closed his eyes slightly, and began to activate the Nine Heavens Star Chart.
As the Nine Heavens Star Chart operated, a milky white light appeared on the surface of the Spiritual Stone. These lights then condensed into a stream, spiraling into Leo’s body.
These white lights contained the Spiritual energy within the Spiritual Stone. After entering Leo’s body, they circulated through his meridians, finally reaching the place where they were refined into Spiritual Power and stored.
After about two hours, Leo slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, a pleased expression was evident in Leo’s eyes because the Spiritual Power in his body had become much more abundant.
Leo picked up the Spiritual Stone from the ground, pinched it lightly, and the Spiritual Stone, depleted of all its Spiritual energy, turned into powder in his hand.
The value of Spiritual Stones lay in their ability for cultivators to directly absorb and refine the contained Spiritual energy to enhance their cultivation. Using Spiritual Stones for cultivation was more than ten times faster than absorbing Spiritual energy from the natural environment.
With such a valuable resource, Leo couldn’t afford to neglect his cultivation. He took out another Spiritual Stone and continued his immersion in cultivation.
Cultivation was tedious, arduous, but necessary for those who aspired to become strong. To become powerful, one had to invest sweat and blood.
Leo, fully engrossed in his cultivation, quickly entered a state of trance, disregarding the passage of time.
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the window onto Leo, he finally slowly opened his eyes.
A glint of sharpness flashed in Leo’s eyes.
Throughout the night, Leo had consumed a total of five Spiritual Stones.
Exhaling slowly, Leo stood up from the ground.
At this moment, he could clearly sense that his cultivation at the lower-tier Grand Spiritualist realm had been completely consolidated. The Spiritual Power in his body was also more refined.
Now, Leo’s perception was much stronger than before, so he couldn’t help but look towards the door. He sensed that Devin Lynd had appeared outside the door.
Leo walked towards the door and opened it.
