Chapter 389: Falling Short

The next morning, Twilight woke up, because Holm transfused the reserved four hundred CC blood for him, the spirit recovered well, and there were a few days of recuperation, it should be able to be intact, after breakfast, under Holm's arrangement, he moved out of the villa and lived in the original guest room of the main building, which was Ye Ning's favor, after all, Twilight was not from the underground world, and he didn't know anything about what happened last night, so there was no need to meet Scarryton, Alina and others.

After Alina did a Holy Light Technique conditioning for Meng Jiao, the functions in the latter's body began to function normally, and the next thing needed was time, the self-cultivation of pure yin blood was much slower than that of ordinary blood, and Scarliton deliberately let two female mercenaries be in charge of twenty-four hours of shift "waiting".

Huang Tian's efficiency was very good, and after lunch, he sent someone to send all the light and light medicinal herbs prescribed by Ye Ning.

In the evening, in an empty room on the second floor of the villa, Ye Ning and Alina sat cross-legged face to face, surrounded by six induction cookers with a clay pot stewed in proportion.

Refining the best grade pill is a tedious and long process, even if there is a detailed formula, the refining power will still not exceed two percent, and the slightest flaw in each link will be wasted, which is a great test for the alchemist's physical strength and mental strength.

"There are a total of three medicinal herbs sent by Huang Tian, if the three times fail, the big killer whale will probably have no joy. It took more than an hour to boil the medicinal juice, and Ye Ning was not in a hurry to enter the cultivation state, so he said with a sigh.

"Night Song, although I don't understand alchemy, I've heard that a mortal second-grade pill is a big challenge for a refiner, not to mention the best pill, you just cast the 'dark night' last night, wouldn't it be too reluctant. Alina said with some concern.

"In the next few months, I will stay in Huaxia all the time, and I don't have the energy to gather so many medicinal materials, it is rare that the Huang family has a rich collection, so I have to give it a try, besides, isn't it you, your Holy Light Technique can at least increase my chances by one percent, oh yes, I also have a secret weapon..."As he spoke, Ye Ning released the little guy from his pocket and showed it to Alina a little ostentatious.

The little guy was lying on Ye Ning's palm, a pair of humanized smart eyes looked at Alina curiously, but he didn't recognize life, Alina's eyes also crossed a trace of surprise, the little guy was snow-white, fluffy, so cute, so he stretched out his hands, as if he had a strong interest in the little guy.

I don't want to, the little guy jumped up very facelessly, landed on Ye Ning's shoulder, and let out a strange scream, expressing resistance.

"Hahaha, Alina, it seems that my little white is not interested in you, a big beauty. Seeing this, Ye Ning smiled happily, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes.

Alina puffed out her cheeks and glared at the little guy coquettishly, and the little guy was so faceless that she was a little annoyed.

"Let me tell you, my little white is amazing..."Ye Ning slapped the little guy and stroked it a few times in his arms, which was to briefly explain the origin of the little guy and the extraordinary things he has shown so far, and he has nothing to hide from Alina.

Alina's eyes lit up as stars when she heard this: "Night Song, according to what you say, it is likely to be a spirit animal, according to legend, the spirit animal will only have a small chance of recognizing its lord in the nascent stage. ”

Ye Ning replied noncommittally: "Maybe, whatever, Xiaobai looks at me pleasing to the eye, and he also likes Xiaobai at a glance, which can be regarded as a kind of fate." At the end of the sentence, just throw it away and let the little guy move freely.

With his eyes closed, Ye Ning tied a knot in front of him and began to meditate on pranayama.

The room fell silent, and as time passed, the afterglow of the setting sun faded into the sky, and the sky became dark.

An hour later, white smoke rose from the crockpots on the six induction cookers, and there was a boiling sound, Alina took the initiative to take on the work of "subordinates", combining the medicinal juice in the crockpots into a five-liter glass container, and gently placing it in front of Ye Ning, and at the same time, Ye Ning's eyes opened, and nodded at Alina, indicating that she was ready.

Then, a black smoke like ink emanated from Ye Ning's body, and after more than ten minutes, the entire room was filled with black smoke, almost to the point where he couldn't see his fingers.

Two white clusters of light appeared in the palms of Alina's hands, and in this darkness, like two bright lights, she could clearly see that one of Ye Ning's palms had reached into the container, and after a while, the medicinal juice in the container seemed to be heated, constantly bubbling and making a boiling sound.

Alina understands that the alchemy process has officially begun.

Half an hour passed, half of the medicinal juice in the container remained, becoming viscous as a slurry, and after another half an hour, only a quarter of the medicinal juice in the container remained, forming a state of half liquid and half solid, sweat covered Ye Ning's entire face, his clothes and pants were already soaked, obviously, the process of Cheng Dan was extremely consuming.

As soon as Alina's palm pushed, a white light cluster flew towards Ye Ning, and after touching the latter's chest, it faded at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappeared, and with the supplement of the Holy Light Technique, Ye Ning let out a long sigh of relief, and his slightly pale face revealed a little ruddy.

Another half an hour passed, and the medicinal juice in the container was only less than a tenth, and it was almost solid, Ye Ning's palm grabbed a black ball, slowly lifted it up, and after getting out of the container, his palm flipped over, and at the same time, the other palm slapped his chest, and a mouthful of blood shot out.

After being stained with blood, the surface of the black ball immediately cracked like a spider's web, and pieces fell off, only a dozen breaths away, it was a search circle, Ye Ning saw this, and in a row of chests, spurted out a second mouthful of blood, and then, the third, the fourth...

Until he spit out the eighth mouthful of blood, Ye Ning's face was as white as a piece of paper, and the black ball became only slightly larger than a ping pong ball.

Finally came to the last moment of Cheng Dan, Ye Ning bit the tip of his tongue and spit out a drop of essence blood, his eyes suddenly opened, a little nervous, a little expectant staring at the black ball, Alina was also infected, and held her breath.

Under the gaze of the four eyes, the surface of the black ball cracked again, accompanied by a subtle "click" sound, and after five seconds, ten seconds, and fifteen seconds, the black ball suddenly trembled, and a crack appeared from the middle, shattering in half.

Seeing this, Ye Ning's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sighed bitterly: "Hey, at the last moment, it fell short." ”
