Twenty minutes after performing the first set of hand seals, Gu Zhiqi performed a second set, followed by a third and fourth set.
Once the four sets of hand seals were completed, Gu Zhiqi quickly led everyone away from the scene.
Everyone was puzzled but still moved to a spot far away from the stove.
After walking about 20 meters, they heard loud explosions, one after another, exactly 20 times.
Everyone turned to look back and saw all 20 high-pressure cookers had exploded, leaving the site in a chaotic mess with 20 columns of thick smoke rising into the air.
Everyone fell silent.
Lu Yuanjiang scratched his head and voiced the thoughts of the others, "Did... we fail?"
Ling Yuxuan looked at the chaotic scene and was taken aback, feeling a wave of disappointment.
Originally, seeing Gu Zhiqi perform alchemy on twelve furnaces filled her with hope, thinking that all the disciples could be saved.
But to think that the furnaces would explode at the last minute.
