Time passed by minute by second, and the air seemed to freeze. Lin Bing's breathing became cautious, for fear of disturbing Ouyang Linghu's alchemy.
So he didn't dare to speak at all and could only wait on the sidelines with anxiety. At the same time, he also prayed that Ouyang Linghu would succeed, otherwise he would waste such a good exorcism grass.
However, during this period, Lin Bing kept staring at Ouyang Linghu, not daring to relax for fear that she would put in other things.
Ouyang Linghu's figure looked a little illusory under the fire. Her face was covered with sweat, and she was working very hard to refine the elixir.
The flames jumped in the furnace, and the alchemy process seemed to become a quiet dance. Lin Bing was immersed in this wonderful scene, temporarily forgetting the worries in his heart.
At the same time, Lin Bing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this alchemist is really not that easy to become. At this moment, he seemed to see Ouyang Linghu's professionalism and difficulty as an alchemist.
It takes a day and a night to refine each furnace of elixir. During this period, the alchemist still needs to control the furnace fire stably.
It's no wonder that the refined elixirs are so expensive. Lin Bing also feels now that refining elixirs is indeed a very energy-consuming task.
A day and a night passed quickly, and the first furnace of elixir was successfully refined. Ouyang Linghu opened the elixir furnace with anticipation...
Lin Bing was also watching, but when he saw clearly what was in the alchemy furnace, his heart tightened and he felt a wave of disappointment welling up in his heart.
Because the pill furnace was not at all the pills he imagined, but five black coal-like objects that looked lifeless.
"how so……"
Ouyang Linghu's eyes were filled with disappointment. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and gently touched the few black coal-like elixirs.
"I also want to ask you, what is going on, where is my exorcism pill?"
After seeing the failure in refining the elixir, Lin Bing immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
Ouyang Linghu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and was silent for a moment before explaining.
"Junior sister Lin, don't be angry. Refining elixirs is inherently a very uncertain matter, and failure is normal."
Lin Bing's brows furrowed. He looked at the black charcoal elixir in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He tried to calm down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down the disappointment and anger in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Ouyang Linghu and said in a stiff tone.
"This is no joke, I put all my hopes on you."
Ouyang Linghu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Junior sister Lin, don't worry, I will definitely succeed. I will definitely refine the real elixir in the next batch."
Lin Bing couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he saw Ouyang Linghu's vow. He was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Okay, I believe you once, but you have to remember, this is your last chance."
After saying that, Lin Bing turned around and prepared to leave the alchemy room, but Ouyang Linghu suddenly stopped him.
"Junior sister Lin, please wait a moment."
Ouyang Linghu's tone was a little nervous, but he still said firmly.
"Alchemy requires a quiet environment. You will affect me here."
Lin Bing was stunned. He didn't expect Ouyang Linghu to say this. He turned his head and looked at Ouyang Linghu and said in a somewhat unkind tone.
"Are you letting me out?"
Ouyang Linghu nodded and said in a firm tone.
"Yes, please go out. I need a quiet environment to refine the elixir. You will distract me here, and you don't want me to fail in refining the next batch."
When Lin Bing heard this, although he was extremely dissatisfied, in order not to waste his exorcism grass anymore, he decided to agree to withdraw from the alchemy room, but before leaving, Lin Bing still said
"I can go out, but I must stand outside and observe your alchemy process at all times to prevent you from adding other things."
Seeing that Lin Bing agreed, Ouyang Linghu immediately nodded.
"No problem, as long as you no longer affect me, whatever you think is fine."
Later, after Lin Bing left the alchemy room, Ouyang Linghu specially opened a window for him so that Lin Bing could observe the alchemy process.
Lin Bing stood outside the window, staring intently at Ouyang Linghu's every move. His eyes were firmly fixed on the fire, as if he wanted to see through the flames.
As time went by, Lin Bing's mood became more and more impatient. He had an ominous premonition that this time the alchemy would still end in failure.
Because Ouyang Linghu's alchemy movements were still so fussy, there was no sense of proficiency at all.
The flames jumped in the furnace, which was in sharp contrast to Lin Bing's inner anxiety. His eyes were staring at the flames, but his heart could not calm down. Every rise and fall of the fire affected his nerves, and he seemed to be able to feel behind every movement. pressure and expectations.
Another day and night passed, when the second alchemy furnace was opened alone.
Lin Bing's brows furrowed, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He looked at the pills jumping in the fire, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
In the picture, the fire was blazing and the fragrance of elixirs overflowed. However, the elixirs in Lin Bing's eyes still looked like black coal. His heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Every piece of exorcism grass he had worked hard to collect was now in vain.
Lin Bing closed his eyes silently, his heart full of helplessness and bitterness. He felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, surrounded by darkness, helplessness and despair shrouded him.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm, but the pain in his heart surged like a tide, making him unable to extricate himself.
At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking. The sound echoed in the empty alchemy room, becoming increasingly desolate.
The failure of the second furnace meant that Ouyang Linghu had wasted sixty exorcism herbs.
After conversion, that was 1,200 spirit stones. With such a huge loss, Lin Bing felt his heart bleed. This was simply a crime!
At this moment, Lin Bing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then rushed directly into the alchemy room, picked up all the exorcism herbs, then looked at Ouyang Linghu with red eyes and clenched teeth and said.
"In the first furnace, you said that I would affect you in the alchemy room. I heard that you had just exited. But in the second furnace, without anyone interfering, you still failed to refine it. I wonder what else you have to say. .”
Ouyang Linghu turned pale with fright when she saw Lin Bing rushing in with such a terrifying look. She knew that Lin Bing could not bear it anymore.
Then she knelt down in front of Lin Bing, hugged his legs tightly with both hands, and begged with tears streaming down her face.
"Junior Sister Lin... No, Senior Sister Lin, please give me another chance. I promise that I will do my best in this last round and will never fail again. If you fail again, I will compensate you for your losses, and I will also I’ll give you a thousand spiritual stones as a guarantee.”
