The teacher gave her this medicine powder.

The teacher said that if possible, we should purify it directly; if not, we should sprinkle this powder on it.

As for what this powder is...

Miss Qiao withdrew her hand.

A hint of unease flashed in his eyes.

It's okay, there's a time limit. As long as you hold on until that day, nothing will be discovered.

Surrounded by a crowd, Miss Qiao once again stood tall and proud.

She was certain she would succeed, so Miss Qiao slowly took the gemstone into her hand.

She gently closed her eyes, and countless fine spiritual threads seemed to grow flesh and blood.

They slowly connected to the gemstone. She certainly had some talent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by a master in the industry.

Although she ultimately defected... no... chose a different ruler, this did not prevent her from demonstrating her abilities.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning of the purification process.

The spiritual threads gradually seeped into the gemstone, slowly removing the impurities.

Perfect, absolutely perfect.

As the gemstone slowly became transparent, a smile appeared on Miss Qiao's lips.

It doesn't seem as difficult as I thought, so... it's just that those useless people aren't good enough and haven't met someone as capable as her. If they had, everything would have been solved.

Miss Qiao continued with a smug smile.

Dean Wang, who was standing to the side, also nodded.

Putting everything else aside, this Miss Qiao's healing speed is indeed faster than usual.

However, we finally arrived at the last step, the one that had consistently failed in the laboratory.

Dean Wang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He widened his eyes slightly, wanting to see what would happen next.

The researchers on the other side couldn't help but cast some glances at it as well.

Miss Qiao, however, was oblivious to the people around her; she simply wanted to use those fine spiritual threads to dissolve the impurities, as always.

But no matter what, that last bit is like that stubborn stone, impossible to dissolve.

She increased the difficulty of the mental threads again, but it didn't work, it didn't work, it still didn't work.

No matter how much she increased her spiritual power, even if she gave up the vast majority,

They only focused on that aspect that showed no sign of being resolved.

Miss Qiao's palms couldn't help but sweat a little. How could this be?

Miss Qiao slightly opened her eyes, glancing uneasily at the people around her.

Dean Wang was looking at him expectantly, his expression a mixture of nervousness and hope.

Miss Qiao: ...

She spat inwardly, thinking that the so-called Dean Wang had no ability whatsoever, nor even any status, so why was he looking at her like that?

Miss Qiao stared at the powder in her hand. Under such intense scrutiny, she had absolutely no chance to sprinkle the powder.

Miss Qiao's eyes darted around slightly, then, as if by accident, she twisted her ankle and fell to the side. In doing so, she blocked Dean Wang's view, and the medicinal powder hidden in her sleeve immediately spilled out.

Miss Qiao breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the powder fall successfully.

However, what she didn't see was that a researcher on the other side frowned slightly.

As soon as the powder fell, the gemstone seemed to encounter something unstoppable, and at an astonishing speed, it lost the last trace of its blue color.

The somewhat nervous Dean Wang was about to help Miss Qiao when he saw this scene, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He watched with delight as the last trace of blue faded from the gemstone, his eyes brimming with excitement.

It's done! It's done! It's done!

Dean Wang practically jumped up from the ground, bouncing around like half a meatball on a hot oil pan.

Of course, there's an element of acting involved!

The people he brought solved a major problem for the lab!

Now that guy surnamed Rong can't say anything more about him, right?

You need to apologize to him properly, otherwise he will absolutely not swallow his pride and help them!

Dean Wang's voice naturally attracted a lot of attention, but what attracted even more attention was on the other side.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted from a place they hadn't been paying attention to.

"It's a success! It's really a success!!!"

Miss Qiao frowned slightly. What success?

Isn't the success story over here? What are they shouting over there?

Miss Qiao angrily placed the gemstone on the table.

She was a major contributor, and it's one thing to not give her the cheers she deserves, but what's with ignoring her altogether?

Dean Wang felt extremely distressed when he saw the precious gem on the table. This gem had been evolved with great difficulty and could not withstand even the slightest bump!

Dean Wang, wearing gloves, carefully placed the gemstone back into the container, then followed Miss Qiao step by step toward the place where the crowd was cheering.

The researchers Rong Jinyan brought surrounded the area in layers, which made Dean Wang extremely unhappy. They had achieved great success over there, so what were they doing here?

Dean Wang gave a stern, displeased shout, ordering the people around him to disperse. The researchers nearby were somewhat dissatisfied, but ultimately said nothing, only reluctantly making way for him.

Dean Wang led Miss Qiao inside, where they saw a large pile of pure gemstones that had lost all trace of their blue hue.

Dean Wang, who was beaming with smugness and preparing to mock: ...? ? ?

Miss Qiao, who was about to put away her smugness and pride: ...? ? ?

Wait, what's going on?!

Meanwhile, the cub, having sung a song about successfully completing its evolution, was so praised that it buried its chubby little face inside Rong Jinyan's clothes, too embarrassed to come out.

Baby, baby is really super awesome!

The cub's little face flushed as it thought.
