Forsaken Immortals

Bai Rouyun did not care about what kind of gaze Wen Sihan was using to look at her with. She knew that he was loyal to Li Moyun, and at the same time, he had sworn a Heavenly Oath, so he would never be able to betray them.

Wen Sihan saw that Bai Rouyun completely ignored him, and he could not help but rub his nose with a bit of embarrassment.

The crowd was surprised when they saw that Wen Sihan was actually so friendly and respectful towards Bai Rouyun.

Although he respected Li Moyun, did this have to extend to Bai Rouyun, or did she have some sort of ability that made her well-liked amongst all these influential people?

The manager was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly hid away his amazement, especially considering that his boss, Xue Jingyu, also seemed to know her.

If she knew Xue Jingyu, then she could not be a simple person.

He came with the herbs that she had requested, and after ensuring that they were the right herbs, all of the right age, she nodded her head, packed them away, and nodded to the manager before she turned to leave the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

Everyone was shocked. She had not paid for the items, but the manager did not even seem as if he wanted to ask her for money. What exactly was going on here?

Bai Rouyun ignored the many puzzled glances, and Mo Chu was also not surprised. Wen Sihan, on the other hand, was shocked, and after staring at her retreating figure, he finally got his senses back and hurried after her, entirely forgetting his status as a high-ranked Alchemist.

The small group consisting of Bai Rouyun, Mo Chu, and Wen Sihan, left the Thousand Treasure Pavilion and went back to the Yun Palace.

When Bai Rouyun set out that morning, she had not heard about the Royal Hunting Feast, but when she returned, she was determined to participate.

Her original plan was to quickly refine two Marrow-Cleansing Pills and head to the Xiaolong Empire, but now she changed her mind.

Although she wanted the resources and the money she could get from the pills, a delay was not a big deal, since she could get her hands on an Immemorial Chamomile if she stayed and worked hard.

Mo Chu was unaware of any of Bai Rouyun's plans, but if he knew, he would, without a doubt, try to talk her out of it. Although he was not weak, he was not amongst the strongest experts, so how could he protect her if she put out the Marrow-Cleansing Pills?

But Bai Rouyun was not going to listen anyway. Fortunately, she decided to focus on the Royal Hunting Feast first. She returned to her chambers and entered the Primal Chaos Dimension where Xiao Bao had already prepared a barrel full of Spiritual Liquid, and next to it was a small vial with the herbal concoction that should be put into the water.

Bai Rouyun quickly shed off her clothes and entered the barrel. The temperature of the water was perfect, and she could feel how her entire body relaxed from the energy contained within the Spiritual Liquid.

After her body had relaxed entirely, she poured the herbal concoction into the barrel and felt how her body tensed again as the almost unbearable pain assaulted her.

Gritting her teeth, she withstood the pain. Although it felt like thousands of needles were being inserted into her body, she could also feel how her body was strengthening itself, and that her potential was growing.

While it was essential to advance, the most crucial thing for Bai Rouyun was to build a sturdy foundation, and she used herbs and pills to achieve this result.

With the help of these costly herbs, she was able to make a foundation that was so unshakeable that she could advance much further than her previous life.

Who knew, she might even get to try and see what that Ascended Realm was. If she was lucky, would she be able to leave the continent where she was now? Like a butterfly breaking through the cocoon and moving towards the skies, never to be held back by her past.

But she knew that these dreams were far away from her. Firstly, she would never leave this continent before she had gotten her revenge, and right now, she was very far from being able to gain her vengeance. She was still weak.

Thinking of the future, Bai Rouyun felt a rush of energy pouring in her body; she could not help but feel slightly giddy. She wanted to break through her cocoon as soon as possible, but she also knew that it had to be taken one step at a time.

Time went by slowly, Bai Rouyun's thoughts were flying around as she absorbed the energy from the barrel, and it was already night when she finished.

By the time she exited the room, she found that Mo Chu was, as always, waiting for her, and by his side was Wen Sihan, who was doing everything in his power to enter the room.

"Mister Wen, I understand your eagerness, but this is a lady's bed chambers. You cannot enter just because you are eager to hear about her alchemy skills."

"But isn't it also Li Moyun's bed chambers? I have been there numerous times before, why does it matter now?"

"Now it belongs to a lady as well. Her husband is not at home. Naturally, you cannot enter."

Bai Rouyun could hear their conversation the moment she opened the door, and she could not help but look at them with a slight smile on her lips as she crossed her arms across her chest.
