According to the Elixir Foundation, the different places in the herbal pot required different temperatures, especially when mixing different liquid and essences.
It was the same herbal pot. However, some places of it would require high temperature and some would need low temperature. It was frankly hard to do. The refiner must have the ability to control the temperatures in different areas of the pot precisely.
Austin observed the situation in the pot through the ice crystal once more.
However, it was difficult for him to have an idea about the pot's temperature just by simply looking. He could clearly see the ingredients inside the pot but he couldn't touch them or feel them. Thus, there was no way for him to know how hot it was inside the pot now. How could he even control the temperature of the flames in this situation?
Austin repeated the related part in the Elixir Foundation multiple times. Nonetheless, he still couldn't figure out how to control the heat in different places of the pot. He felt as if he was stuck.
He was in that dilemma when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. 'It's true that I can't feel the temperature inside but wait... I have a spiritual sense! That should do! I could apply my spiritual sense power and make it work into the herbal pot. I'd definitely know the temperature anywhere in the pot by doing that. Thus, I can control my vital energy based on it.'
Austin immediately took action with this in his mind.
He released his spiritual sense power and within a moment, he got a full view of what was inside the pot. He instantly knew the temperature at every point inside the pot and even the interior sculpted decorations. Everything was suddenly so clear to him just like the way he could see textures on his palm.
It worked!
Overjoyed, Austin licked his dry lips. His spiritual sense power was tracing every change inside the herbal pot closely. He made the temperature underneath the black particles increase gradually.
The flames sizzled.
His spiritual sense power enabled him to control the direction, force, and the amount of vital energy he was transporting.
He was using one of his hands to maintain the temperature of the pot on one spot while using the other hand to increase the temperature on the other. He felt even more pressured now that he had to do two different things at the same time.
It was lucky though that he gradually learned the method of controlling his vital energy to do two different tasks simultaneously through trial and error.
The small black particles inside the herbal pot finally burst into powders due to the increasing heat. The black powder it produced slowly mixed with the red paste and gave it a darker color.
Another sigh of relief escaped from Austin's chest upon seeing the last pinch of black powder dissolved into the paste.
He succeeded in blending the first three herbal extracts! It would be easier for him to blend whatever herbs were left since he already got the trick.
