Ye Silong really wanted to kick this rascal into the sea, but when she thought that she needed his help, she decided not to argue with him.
However, she was not used to having such intimate contact with people. She quietly twisted her body and wanted to break free from Ding Ning's arm.
But Ding Ning was thicker than the city wall. How could he let her break free so easily? He pulled hard.
Ye Silong didn't want to embarrass him too obviously, so she loosened her body. Ding Ning happened to exert force, which made her lose her balance and fall to the ground with a scream.
How could Ding Ning let her fall? He hurriedly reached out to hold her slender waist. Ye Silong instinctively exerted force to stabilize her center of gravity. As a result, the two forces overlapped and the two of them hugged each other face to face.
At this moment, the two of them stared at each other in a daze. Ye Silong had never been so intimate with a man. She was completely stunned. Her cherry lips slightly opened, her pretty face blushed, and even her breathing became rapid.
Ding Ning's heart was filled with warmth. Looking at her attractive red lips, his mind went blank. Without thinking, he lowered his head and kissed her.
"Uh …"
Ye Silong froze. She didn't expect Ding Ning to be so bold. She was Duxing's master. She was stunned there and forgot to resist.
Unexpectedly, her hesitation conveyed a wrong signal to Ding Ning. He thought that she also liked to be kissed by him, so he immediately became impudent with joy and began to conquer her territory. He pried open his teeth and tasted her fragrant lilac tongue.
"Ow!"
Ding Ning suddenly screamed, covered his mouth and stepped back. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Ye Silong who was livid and complained, "Are you a dog? How can you bite?"
"Bite? I want to kill people. I am Duxing's master. You lecher, how dare you be so disrespectful to me? "
Ye Silong was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She pointed at Ding Ning and scolded him.
Ding Ning blushed and lowered his head in guilt. He mumbled vaguely, "Who asked you to be so seductive? It's my fault. Besides, you didn't object. I thought … "
"Thought what? Do you think that just because you're handsome and elegant, any woman will fall in love with you and throw herself at you? "
Ye Linglong's heart was burning with anger as she mocked with a face full of disdain.
She had devoted herself to the study of tactical matrix and had never had any romantic feelings. What was more, she was the master of Night Lone Ranger. Lone Ranger once revealed the idea of sharing a husband with her, but she flatly refused.
She was a very traditional woman in her bones. Although she did not really hate Ding Ning in her heart, the seniority between them was the biggest obstacle, so she never thought that something would happen between them.
Besides, Ding Ning was a playboy by nature. He had a lot of women, and all of them were dead set on him, which made her very uncomfortable. She once complained about the injustice for Duxing, saying why her apprentice had such a hard life, but she met such a big playboy and even got pregnant with his child.
But now, her first kiss was taken away by this playboy. It would be strange if she felt comfortable in her heart.
"Isn't this a misunderstanding? Who knew that you would fall into my arms? You also know that I have no resistance to beautiful women, especially beautiful women like you."
Ding Ning muttered without sincerity. Although his tongue was bitten, he did not regret it at all. It was so worth it. If he could do it again, he would still kiss her without hesitation. Anyway, no matter what Ye Linglong thought, she could not escape from his clutches. After all, he had taken a fancy to her long ago.
Our Lord Ding probably did not realize that as his cultivation became more and more profound, he became more and more domineering in his bones, and his possessiveness became more and more intense.
In the past, when he was picking up girls, he was more or less willing. But now, as long as it was someone he liked, he would do everything possible to get her. If there were conditions, he would do it. If there were no conditions, he would do it.
"You … are so shameless. Humph!"
Ye Linglong was so angry that her whole body trembled. She stamped her feet fiercely and turned to leave.
Ding Ning was dumbfounded. Didn't she have something to talk to him about? Why did she leave in anger without saying anything?
"Alas! If you want to leave, then leave. You can't blame me for not helping you if you don't tell me. "
Ding Ning muttered with a depressed face.
Although he did not know why Ye Linglong was looking for him, she must have something to ask of him. He licked his lips with an unsatisfied expression.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the special alchemy room, the sound of furnaces exploding was incessant. Ding Ning was concentrating on alchemy. In fact, alchemy was more like burning money to practice.
Fortunately, he was using the Yan Dragon Cauldron. Although the furnace did not explode, the elixir would explode once it was formed, which made him very depressed.
The difficulty of refining a Heaven Level elixir was too high. Ding Ning did not know how many times he had failed, but he did not even refine a Heaven Level Lower Grade elixir, which made him very depressed.
Although he did not have a 100% success rate when refining an Earth Level elixir, he could reach an 80% success rate. But for a Heaven Level elixir, he did not even have a 1% success rate.
Fortunately, he had an almost inexhaustible supply of precious medicinal materials in the Spiritual Medicine Ring. Otherwise, these medicinal materials alone could make him go bankrupt.
But even so, he felt distressed. It should be noted that any of the medicinal materials in the Spiritual Medicine Ring could be sold at a sky-high price at auction.
He roughly estimated that the amount of wasted medicinal herbs he had refined would be worth at least tens of billions if converted into money.
Therefore, being an alchemist was an extremely expensive profession. It was no wonder that alchemy had been lost in modern times, except for some ancient sects that still had their inheritance. They really could not afford to practice alchemy.
Although ancient sects like the Holy Medical Family had the inheritance of alchemy, Ding Ning could guarantee that there were no more than ten people who could be called real alchemists in the Holy Medical Family.
Among these ten alchemists, it would be great if at most one could reach the Heaven Level. He even suspected that there might not be even one Heaven Level Alchemist.
After all, unlike him, the Holy Medical Family did not have the Spiritual Medicine Ring that could provide him with a large amount of rare medicinal materials for practice. Even if they gathered all the resources of the Holy Medical Family, they might not be able to cultivate a Heaven Level Alchemist.
There was no other way. The medicinal materials needed for the Heaven Level elixir were old enough. The medicinal materials of the Earth Level elixir could not be compared with the medicinal materials of the Earth Level elixir, and there was a world of difference in value.
It was like ginseng, but could a ten-year-old ginseng be compared with a thousand-year-old ginseng? It was not a difference in price, but a priceless one. No matter how rich one was, there was no place to buy it.
Even Ding Ning, who had the Spiritual Medicine Ring, trembled with pain when he refined elixirs, not to mention the Holy Medical Family. He didn't think that the Holy Medical Family would be willing to spend a large amount of money to specially cultivate a Heaven-level alchemist, who was a real bottomless pit.
Why did he fail?
After the furnace exploded again, Ding Ning did not rush to continue refining the elixir. Instead, he looked for the reason seriously with red eyes and a haggard face.
After practicing for more than half a day, he was able to practice making perfect. After the medicinal materials were processed, there was no longer a problem of conflicting medicinal properties. The purification of the medicinal liquid was very smooth, and there was no mistake in the control of the fire. It could be said that there were no mistakes in the first few important steps. But why did he fail every time when he was condensing the elixir?
Ding Ning carefully recalled every step, but he never found the problem, so he focused all his attention on the steps of condensing and condensing the elixir.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, interrupting his thoughts. He frowned irritably and said loudly, "I am busy. Don't disturb me."
Knock, knock, knock!
But the knocking outside the door did not stop, which made Ding Ning furious. He stood up and opened the door aggressively. Just as he was about to vent his anger, he saw Xi standing in front of the door and looking at him with a charming expression. Ding Ning was stunned.
Ding Ning hated being disturbed when he was refining elixirs or doing experiments. Xi was no exception. But considering that she might not know about this rule, Ding Ning suppressed his anger and said impatiently, "What is it?"
"Nothing. I just heard the continuous sounds of furnace explosions, so I came to remind you that Heaven Grade elixirs are taken by God-level masters. They have Heavenly Dao Patterns and require a large amount of Power of the Heavens and Earth to form the elixir. Also, an alchemist's state of mind is very important. He must remain calm. Alright, I am done talking. I will leave now."
Xi spoke quickly and turned to leave without any hesitation, leaving Ding Ning behind with a thoughtful look on his face.
Thinking about what Xi had said, Ding Ning's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He stood quietly in front of the door for a long time before returning to the alchemy room as if he had understood something. He was not in a hurry to continue refining elixirs. Instead, he calmed down and focused on circulating the Heart Sutra of Bodhi.
Slowly, the irritation in his heart disappeared and he entered an ethereal state of no thought, no sorrow, and his expression gradually calmed down.
When he had completely calmed down, Ding Ning stood up again and began refining elixirs. He prepared the herbs, started the fire, purified the elixirs …
The series of steps were as smooth as flowing water, pleasing to the eye. There were no mistakes. His Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the entire process. Finally, when it was the crucial time to condense the elixir, Ding Ning's originally calm heart suddenly tensed up. He shouted, "Condense!"
The boiling medicinal liquid quickly began to condense. The violent medicinal properties kept clashing, like a lit fuse of dynamite that could explode at any time.
Ding Ning took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm. He mumbled something and his huge Divine Sense poured out, seeping into the medicinal liquid, wrapping around the medicinal properties and forcibly condensing them.
There was a loud bang. The furnace had exploded.
Ding Ning's Divine Sense suffered a backlash. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground, but there was an excited smile on his face. He had finally found the reason for his failure.
It turned out that it was a problem with the Pill Skill. No, it should be said that his thinking had gone into a wrong direction, or it should be said that it was his habit.
The Pill Skill was a method created by ancient alchemists through constant exploration and experimentation. It was similar to the effect of talisman patterns. It could absorb the power of heaven and earth and improve the quality of the elixir.
There were no Pill Skills for Human-level elixirs. Every alchemist had their own unique method of condensing elixirs. There were no shortcuts. They could only rely on diligent practice and constantly strengthen their control of the fire. When their proficiency reached a certain level, they would naturally be able to successfully refine the elixir.
It was different for Earth-level elixirs. When condensing elixirs, they needed the assistance of the Pill Skill to enhance the medicinal properties. However, because he had Divine Sense and Spiritual Power, the effect of condensing elixirs was better than using the Pill Skill. Therefore, he abandoned the Pill Skill and replaced it with Divine Sense and Spiritual Power.
This led him to form a kind of habitual thinking that Pill Techniques were dispensable and could be replaced by Divine Sense and Spiritual Power.
If Xi had not come to remind him, he would not have realized that the problem was actually with the Pill Skill.
