Chapter 426 My Own Path
The little cloud shrank back to a suitable size, then burrowed to the bottom of the furnace and spat out a line of fire, which eventually formed a thin layer of flame that enveloped the bottom of the furnace.
Gu Qing sensed that the colorful cloud had been upgraded. Although the flames had not undergone a qualitative change, their shape and duration were much better than before.
The liquid covered everyone again. Then, the petals of Guizhen were taken out and melted into liquid at the appropriate temperature. The bottle containing the Guizhen juice was then taken out, the cap was opened, and the person subconsciously held their breath before putting the liquid into the furnace.
The juice was baked by the temperature in the oven, gradually turning into wisps of smoke, but miraculously it was absorbed into the juice formed by the melting of the petals.
Then these liquids turned into spheres the size of modern soybeans, which, upon closer inspection, resembled rubies. Looking closely inside, it seemed as if something like smoke or mist was flowing within them.
The temperature of the flame gradually decreases, but it cannot be removed all at once; this requires careful control.
Once the flames had completely disappeared from the bottom of the furnace, Gu Qing immediately turned on the ventilation system and then carried Xiao Caiyun to conduct a check-up.
Only after confirming there were no problems was the mental image taken back. I then took the energy stone and practiced the technique. Only after confirming that there were indeed no problems did I feel relieved.
Once the single pot had completely cooled down, Gu Qing took out the bottle containing the liquid and carefully put 13 ruby-like things, each the size of a soybean, into it.
I breathed a sigh of relief only after comparing the data with the proficiency panel and confirming that there were no errors.
Then I made the bottle, marked it, and put it in my spatial storage. Actually, once it's refined, you don't need to be so careful. The exterior is like fish oil, with a certain elasticity, but it's very well-sealed and won't leak.
Unless you touch it with water or puncture it with a sharp object, the smoky-like substance inside will not come out.
Gu Qing then thoroughly cleaned the alchemy furnace several times, and finally summoned Little Rainbow Cloud to spew flames, baking the furnace inside and out.
The flame was set to its highest temperature, turning a deep blue, and the ventilation system in the room carried out hot air.
After finishing all this, Gu Qing pointed to her Adam's apple, and the liquid protective suit shrank to the size of a button. She put it into a box and placed it on the shelf.
After checking her surroundings and confirming that everything was alright, Gu Qing left her yard without stopping. The smart door lock automatically locked as she came out.
"Qingqing, are you done with your work?"
"How's it going? Are you done with your work?"
Lou Xiaoyu and Qi Bai asked in unison, their brows furrowed with worry. Although they didn't know what Gu Qing was doing, they had a vague feeling that something was dangerous.
But no matter how they tried to persuade Gu Qing, she wouldn't agree, so they had no choice but to wait outside as she wished.
Gu Qing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "It's done." Indeed, it's done. The next step after returning to the true nature is to produce seeds, but this will take 3-5 months.
Her words eased their expressions considerably, but the way they held her hands tightly showed how worried they were.
Gu Qing shook their hands, "Go get something to eat, then we'll go to the basement and get these people settled before the second batch arrives."
Lou Xiaoyu took a step forward, then turned around and walked backwards towards her. "If Qingqing doesn't like it, she doesn't have to go. The initiative is on your side. You don't need to make yourself suffer for their feelings."
"Sigh! I know, but if I don't finish what I promised, I'll always feel uneasy."
He bent down slightly to meet Gu Qing's gaze, his expression tinged with helplessness. "You always carry the burden of responsibility on your shoulders. With your level and abilities, you could easily live a carefree and luxurious life."
Gu Qing, at his height, gently touched his forehead with her own, "Because I want to be my own boss!"
I once heard a saying that goes, "If a woman relies on her father, she'll become a noble princess; if she relies on her husband, she'll become a noble empress; and if she relies on her son, she'll become an empress dowager."
But if you want to become a queen, you can only rely on yourself.
I never thought I would become a queen, but I want to be my own boss, unlike in the beginning when I was forced to accept other people's arrangements.
That kind of life wasn't easy either, and my heart was constantly filled with fear and anxiety.
As he spoke, he released their hands, raised them high, and spun around in place. "Although things aren't easy right now, I've truly been walking my own path and making my own decisions. Everything is filled with my willingness."
Then she looked at the two of them and said, "This feeling is just wonderful."
