Chapter 52 - Marrow-Cleansing Pill
Chapter 52 - Marrow-Cleansing Pill
The following morning, Bai Rouyun woke up alone in the bed. She could see that someone had laid next to her, but the other part of the bed was already cold. Clearly, Li Moyun had left a long time ago.
Bai Rouyun stretched her body before she went to wash up and get dressed. Today she picked a white dress, a dress that suited her temperament, and she looked exactly like a fairy from the fairytales.
Leaving the bedroom, she found that Mo Chu was waiting for her outside. When he noticed her waking up, he bowed deeply, and no matter where she went, he followed her.
First, he followed her to eat. Then he followed her to look for Li Moyun. Although he was following her, he said nothing, and his expression was stern as if this was a challenging task.
Bai Rouyun’s face crumpled when she saw how stoic Mo Chu looked, and she could not help but wonder if Li Moyun planned on having Mo Chu following her everywhere, just so that she could not escape the palace unsupervised in the future.
Thinking about it, she could not help but shake her head, if he was, then that was that. She understood Li Moyun’s worries. The day before, he had admitted to the entire court that she was his weakness, and she was likely to be targeted by many of the ones who disliked Li Moyun.
While she was a reincarnated immortal, the truth was that her current strength was so pitiful that she might not be able to keep herself alive.
While thinking, Bai Rouyun made it to the study room. She saw that two guards were standing guard outside. "Brother Guards, is Li Moyun busy?" she asked sweetly, her face once more containing an innocent smile, and her eyes bright and free of impurities. Although she was not doing it on purpose, she was unable to remove her mask of being an innocent and sweet little girl.
The guard outside the study looked at Bai Rouyun, after which they looked at Mo Chu, who just shrugged his shoulders. The guards at the door were all somewhat puzzled. Could their ruthless and murderous master truly like such a weak and soft bunny? She was too innocent! How could she possibly help their master when she was so weak?
"The Lord is dealing with some things," the guard said hesitatingly. He did not know if he was supposed to stop her; she was the Madam after all, but he knew that Li Moyun was talking with Elder Sun about something important, so was it suitable to let her enter if she was adamant on it?
Bai Rouyun looked at the guard, but after seeing his discomfort, she knew that it was, in fact, a crucial meeting that was going on inside, so she smiled and said, "No worries. Brother Guard, can you tell Li Moyun that I need to talk with him when he finishes?"
The guard heaved a heavy breath of relief and nodded his head. "I will relay the message," he promised.
Seeing that the guard promised her, Bai Rouyun chuckled and left the office again, went back to the bed chambers, and she sat on the bed where she began cultivating.
She wanted to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension and eat her Marrow-Cleansing Pill, but it was not suitable to do so without warning Li Moyun first.
If he could not find her, then he would become frantic, and she was not willing to see him turn the entire Imperial Capital upside down, just to find her.
As such, she just sat and cultivated, the energies flowing into her veins and her Acquired Realm, Earth Stage, Initiate layer was slowly climbing upwards. Bai Rouyun had intentionally suppressed her breakthrough for a long time, but she decided to break through to the Acquired Realm, Earth Stage, Mediate layer before she was going to cleanse her marrow.
Marrow-Cleansing pills were able to remold the body of the cultivator completely. She would be able to shed the human skin and become a true cultivator, but Marrow-Cleansing pills were immensely rare and very expensive.
Alchemists were famous for safeguarding their own recipes and formulas, never letting anyone else, other than their legacy disciples, learn their most prized recipes, and thus many of the recipes and formulas had gotten lost or become rare throughout the passing of time.
Bai Rouyun was fortunate. The hut within the Primal Chaos Dimension was full of recipes, and most of them were considered rare, some even extinct in the current day.
Together with the help of Xiao Jin, it was possible for Bai Rouyun to become an alchemist that no one would want to cross.
Bai Rouyun knew that she had her hands on a treasure trove, but she was also aware that she had to be careful. If she was not prudent, others would know of her treasures, and she would see herself die an unjust death.
While she was cultivating, Li Moyun and Elder Sun ended their discussion. Neither of their faces looked pleasant as they left the office, and the Guards could sense the killing intent seeping out from Li Moyun.
No one knew what had happened, but they could guess that something had caused him to become immensely unhappy.
Still, the guard who had been tasked with telling Li Moyun about Bai Rouyun’s message took a deep breath and spoke up.
"My Lord, Madam asked to see you."
Hearing this, the killing intent which shrouded Li Moyun lessened slightly, he nodded his head, and he left the study, heading straight for the bedroom.
He was in a foul mood, and his heart was worried. The twins had escaped from Elder Sun. Although he doubted that they would cause him problems, he feared that they would not leave Bai Rouyun alone.
