William pinched Alice, and she trembled slightly, slowly opening her eyes with her mind still in a haze.
"Did I just pass out?"
"Yes."
"Shouldn't you perform CPR on someone who's unconscious?"
"Stimulating the pain point between the thumb and forefinger is more effective. CPR is for drowning."
"..."
Alice took a moment to gather herself, then hurriedly looked toward the alchemy furnace. "How did the Frost Spirit Elixir turn out?"
William said, "You should check it yourself, but I think it's probably ruined."
"Ruined?" Alice quickly wriggled out of William's embrace and rushed to the alchemy furnace. Fighting the discomfort, she directed her finger toward the furnace, infusing it with energy. Soon, a crystal-clear pill emitting a soft divine light flew out.
Without waiting to speak to William, she took out a prepared glass bottle and placed the pill inside, sniffing it before turning excitedly to William. "It was a success!"
