Gu Xiyue stood aside, watching, listening to the group’s conversation, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.
It must be said, Master Qiqi is truly... quite harmful.
Of course, she didn’t dare to say this out loud.
Gu Xiyue originally thought Gu Zhiqi would explain a little to them, but unexpectedly, Gu Zhiqi raised her hand and patted Ruan Hao’s shoulder, saying solemnly, "Cultivation isn’t about a day, nor is it about a year or two, keep working hard, young man."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hao immediately nodded seriously.
Lu Yuanjiang and others also followed suit with serious nods.
Gu Xiyue: ?
Could it be...
The true essence of alchemy lies in the exploding furnace?
If not, why even though Master Qiqi taught her new alchemy techniques, her pill success rate and quality aren’t as high as Master Qiqi’s?
At this moment, Gu Xiyue fell into deep self-doubt.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
The group spent the whole night refining elixirs, with fires blazing all around Gu Family Manor, and Gu Zhiqi single-handedly refining several furnaces of elixirs, explosions ringing throughout the night.
Luckily, there was a soundproof formation, otherwise it would have disturbed the public.
By eight o’clock the next morning, they had finally produced a large batch of elixirs. Gu Zhiqi immediately sent people to deliver them and then went to rest with everyone.
She slept straight through to two in the afternoon.
When she woke up, she found quite a few people sitting in the living room.
All the Gu Family members were there, along with the Yu Family, Jin Family, Fu Family, and Luo Fenghe who brought Gu Chengcheng.
Jin Cengran and Fu Xiyan were still on missions, and Old Master Fu was in poor health, thus he was not among the Jin and Fu families present.
Even so, seeing so many people, Gu Zhiqi was surprised and thought something had happened.
After asking their purpose, Gu Zhiqi realized that tomorrow would be her coming-of-age day.
Jin Huazhu and others had come specifically to Haicheng to attend her coming-of-age ceremony.
It turned out that after discussions among the Jin, Fu, and Gu families, they decided to hold Gu Zhiqi’s ceremony at the Gu Family.
Coincidentally, tomorrow was also the coming-of-age day for Gu Xiyue and Gu Xingruo, so they decided to host the three siblings together. This way, it would be convenient for the Gu Family relatives and the trio’s friends to come and celebrate.
The Yu Family, Luo Fenghe, and Gu Chengcheng were also there to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Upon learning the intentions of everyone, Gu Zhiqi was slightly emotional, having been busy these days forgotten tomorrow was her coming-of-age day.
She sat down, chatting with Jin Huazhu and the others.
Not long after, Gu Xiyue, Ruan Hao, and the others also got up. It turned out besides helping with alchemy, they were also there to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

That night, close to midnight, Gu Zhiqi received a call from Su Yunling, who hadn’t been in touch for a long time.
These days, Su Yunling had been out on missions, and Gu Zhiqi hadn’t heard from him for a while. Seeing his call, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes flickered slightly, thinking he must have completed his mission.
She immediately picked up.
"Zhizhi." As soon as the call connected, Su Yunling’s gentle, affectionate voice filled with longing came through the phone.
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Zhiqi was momentarily unable to respond.
She thought Su Yunling would say more, but there was a long silence from his end.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi murmured softly, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"
The moment Gu Zhiqi asked, Su Yunling spoke up, "Happy Birthday."
Gu Zhiqi glanced at the time and saw it was midnight, August 8th, right on the dot. He was congratulating her precisely at the moment.
