Chapter 34 Success in Alchemy
Gu Qing held it in her hands and said, "Baby, you can already breathe fire, so we can't let this skill go to waste. Only by working hard to develop it can we accumulate more resources."
Then, we use these resources to upgrade. As long as we level up high enough, we become stronger and stronger. The stronger we become, the more resources we can acquire, and so it's a cycle.
So, baby, let's keep going!
As Gu Qing spoke, she stuffed the bewildered little cloud under the medicine furnace and gave it a thumbs-up.
Little Cloud puffed out her cheeks in confusion, then looked up at the big guy again, and finally, based on her bond with Gu Qing, she made up her mind about her request.
With puffed-out cheeks, it spat out a wisp of fire, which, upon contact with the medicine furnace, transformed into a vast net of fire that enveloped the entire bottom of the rooftop.
Soon, a scorching heat emanated from the medicine furnace. Little Cloud had also breathed fire before, and Gu Qing had curiously touched it with her fingertip but didn't feel anything.
This time, even in such a short time, I could feel the heat emanating from the medicine furnace, which shows that the fire-based power of the supernatural ability is quite strong.
Gu Qing directed Xiao Yunduo to control the firepower. Once the medicine furnace was preheated, she began to put in energy food and complementary exotic plants, just as she had learned before.
My mental energy also probed into the medicine furnace, and I saw that the exotic plants that were put into it did not fall to the bottom of the furnace, but were miraculously suspended in the middle of the lower part of the furnace.
There are bound to be traces of contaminants in exotic plants. Although the medicine furnace will remove some of them, it is still difficult to refine high-quality medicine.
It also requires the purifier's pure spiritual energy to perform multiple purifications. This is a very meticulous and mentally taxing task.
The plants need to be removed cleanly, but the process can't be too slow to avoid scorching them.
Gu Qing didn't handle one of the exotic plants well. She was too slow in removing the contaminants, and before she could completely remove them, the exotic plant was already burnt.
She felt a pang of heartache. Although such low-level exotic plants could be cultivated, they were quite expensive. Gu Qing cleaned up all the residue in the medicine cauldron.
Let Xiaoyun return to her mental image, and as she reflects on the process, she realizes that she was simply not skilled enough and not fast enough.
She opened the system panel to check the progress.
Name: Gu Qing (顾晴晴)
Age: 18 (120)
[Talent: Purify the Clouds]
[Talent: Fire Control 1%]
[Skill: Purify E-rank 9.2%]
[Skill: Planting Tier 1 57%]
[Skill: Alchemy Tier 1 0.1%]
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the newly added skill, alchemy, would increase her proficiency even if she failed to refine the medicine. Once she reached level two proficiency, her success rate in refining these low-grade medicines would become 100%.
The success rate of refining level one crystals will also be greatly increased. For example, now that her purification ability has been upgraded to level E, Little Cloud only needs to absorb a level one crystal core once.
This made her level up much faster.
After resting, I started preparing to refine the medicine again. This time the process went more smoothly. I successfully extracted the foreign plant extract, and I was able to proceed with the second one.
After putting the energy rice in, she was overwhelmed and messed up halfway through her training.
However, Gu Qing was not disappointed, after all, she could already see the dawn of victory. It was just that her mental energy was exhausted, which was why she lacked stamina and couldn't control herself well.
The little cloud was also listless, whimpering and nuzzling against her face. She wasn't a wealthy landowner, so she quickly sent it back to its original state and let it rest.
Clean up the alchemy room and turn off the anchor point; this thing consumes energy even if it's on for just one minute.
Gu Qing quickly went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. Although there was no explosion, the smoke and ash that had sprung up had covered her body, leaving a strong smell.
Cheng Zhi and the others waited for another half month, but Gu Qing still didn't contact them. Shang Ci was the first to lose his temper.
"What exactly do you two mean? Hasn't she contacted you?" He stood up and paced back and forth in front of the sofa, scratching his hair with both hands.
"I thought she was using a feigned retreat as a tactic, and that she was clever enough to coax us into continuing to support her. I never expected her to actually be able to hold on."
This means they're really trying to distance themselves from us.
An Yu tucked the dagger into his trouser leg, making a flower shape with it. "What? You're still reluctant to part with it now that I've granted your wish?"
Shang Ci was about to answer the question, but the words just wouldn't come out. Frustrated, he pulled out a couple more handfuls of hair.
"Sigh, she's a bit annoying now that she's grown up, but she was quite cute when she was little. If she changed, I could still treat her like a little sister."
He and Gu Qing were close in age and used to play together often, but Gu Qing became increasingly outrageous. Cheng Zhi was afraid that he would suffer a terrible fate and that things would be beyond repair, so he intentionally separated the two of them.
"Alright, you can contact me if you want, I didn't forbid it." Cheng Zhi said this and went back to his room.
Shang Ci saw that An Yu was about to get up. He suddenly pounced on him, grabbed his shoulder, and pressed him down onto the sofa.
"Don't go, send her a video." She knew who they were talking about.
An Yu glanced back at him and was about to get up when he was pressed down again. "Fine, fine, I'll hit you, okay? You stay with me."
An Yu's slightly sinister expression remained unchanged, but he didn't move. Shang Ci fiddled with the smart device on his wrist for a long time but couldn't make a call.
Just as An Yu was about to get up again, he quickly dialed the number.
Gu Qing had just dried her hair halfway and was about to use the dryer when the smart device on her wrist lit up. After seeing the name in the notification, she thought for a moment and answered the call.
