Chapter 830: Chapter 830 My Sister; 12 Furnaces at a Time

Gu Xiyue saw Gu Zhiqi nod and then looked at Ma Tao and Jin Xiaolan, speaking politely and distantly, “Sorry to trouble both of you for coming here. You may go back and rest now.”

Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, then said with displeasure, “What is this? Are we just your playthings? You want us to come, we come. You want us to leave, we leave. What do you think we are?”

Standing beside him, Jin Xiaolan was quite willing, “Well, I’ll head off first then. There’s a lot going on lately, I need to get back early to rest. I won’t accompany everyone here.”

After saying this, Jin Xiaolan pulled the dissatisfied Ma Tao and left.

Because of the multiple interruptions by Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao, the earlier introductions were not completed. So, after they left, Gu Xiyue introduced Gu Zhiqi to the remaining three.

“This is my younger sister, Gu Zhiqi, who will be guiding you in refining pills. From now on, you’ll need to follow her instructions and I ask for your full cooperation.”

Hearing Gu Xiyue’s introduction, the three alchemists were momentarily surprised.

So, she is Minister Yue’s sister.noveldrama

Instantly, their regard for Gu Zhiqi increased significantly.

Minister Yue is so powerful, her sister must be quite impressive too.

After introducing Gu Zhiqi to them, Gu Xiyue also introduced the three alchemists to Gu Zhiqi.

The shabby middle-aged man was named Lu Yuanjiang, a fourth-order primary stage alchemist.

The slightly plump lady was named Li Chunhua, a fourth-order middle stage alchemist.

The young man with the mushroom hairstyle was named Ruan Hao, also a fourth-order primary stage alchemist like Lu Yuanjiang.

After getting to know each other, Ling Yuxuan brought over the medicinal ingredients.

Before taking Ruan Hao and the other two to distribute the materials, Gu Zhiqi said to Gu Xiyue, “Three people didn’t come, so only distribute materials for 17 stoves.”

Seeing Gu Xiyue nod, Gu Zhiqi went to explain the precautions to the twelve assistants Gu Xiyue had arranged for her.

“I’ll give you numbers. Later, you each take responsibility for a stove according to your number. You don’t need to do anything else; just control the firewood as I instruct to manage the heat.”

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s instructions, the twelve assistants were immediately dumbfounded.

Is it possible… to do it this way?

From the sound of it, this person intends to refine twelve pill furnaces simultaneously?

The twelve assistants were disciples of the Ancient Medicine Department and had learned some alchemy in their regular studies, so they naturally understood alchemy techniques.

Even refining one pill furnace posed the risk of explosion. This person wants to refine twelve at the same time?!

The twelve assistants stood there in chaos.

When Gu Xiyue and the others had already distributed the ingredients into 17 stoves, Gu Zhiqi solemnly asked Gu Xiyue a question, “If these pressure cookers explode, do we need to compensate for them?”

Although pressure cookers aren’t as expensive as pill furnaces, Gu Zhiqi indicated that she didn’t want to compensate regardless of the amount.

Gu Xiyue: “…”

After a moment of silence, and filled with doubt, Gu Xiyue shook her head at Gu Zhiqi, “No need.”

Gu Zhiqi, hearing this, nodded satisfactorily, “Alright, then let’s begin. I’ll take the first 12 stoves, the 13th, 14th, and 15th are for Ruan Hao and the others; the remaining five, you and Alliance Leader Ling can use as you wish.”

Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s arrangement, Gu Xiyue nodded. After nodding, she felt something was amiss and was about to question Gu Zhiqi when she heard her say, “You and Alliance Leader Ling can refine on your own or observe me refining one round first.”

Hearing Gu Zhiqi mention one round, Gu Xiyue’s eyes deepened, “You intend to refine twelve pill furnaces at once?”

Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, “You could say that.”
