Chapter 212 - 212 - Foundation Building Pill
The manager could not help but feel somewhat regretful when he heard Xue Jingyu"s words. Everyone within the cultivation world knew that the Eternal Shadow Palace had been looking for this treasure. Li Moyun had previously contacted Xue Jingyu for the sake of gaining his help, but he had never expected that the one who needed it was Bai Rouyun.
"I will see to it." The manager had to follow Xue Jingyu"s orders, whether he wanted to or not. He dared not rebel, and while he was trying to think of ways to benefit himself, he truly dared not do anything underhanded.
He understood that this woman was protected by the Eternal Shadow Palace, and it was impossible for him to stand against them. He knew his own worth; if he were the one who made a mistake, the Thousand Treasure Pavilion would never go against Li Moyun for his sake.
While he was very interested in these pills, he was not willing to risk his life for them, and thus he could only sigh before accepting the task.
Bai Rouyun was smiling happily as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She hoped that the word could be spread all across the continent, and that someone was willing to make this trade with her.
She was aware that she had no other treasure that could rival these pills as things were now, and while it was possible to offer the pill formula, it would be very dangerous. Not only by proving that they had found the formulas, and not just a batch of these rare pills, but also because others would come and try to steal it from her, causing her to become the target of many.
As Bai Rouyun returned to the mansion, a sigh escaped her lips. Her eyes were somewhat unfocused as she glanced at the upper floors, feeling somewhat lost as the figure she was missing did not appear.
She knew that what Li Moyun was doing now was extremely important, but she still could not help but feel a lingering pain in her chest, alongside a growing worry.
Li Moyun was stronger than she had ever been before, but that did not lessen the worry that had taken root in her heart.
He had not hidden anything from her, and she was aware that the Golden Dragon Clan came from the Wushi Continent.
She did not know much of the Wushi Continent, but she had seen Bai Mulan attack before, and his strength was above the Innate Realm, at a level she did not understand yet.
Bai Mulan was merely a servant to the Bai family, and while he might be talented, she had some doubts that the servants sent by the Golden Dragon Clan would be much weaker than him.
When Li Moyun had left, he had been very confident, but was it all just a mask he had used to ensure that she would not be worried? She did not know.
However, no matter how worried she was, she knew that she could not follow him. She would not be able to a.s.sist him in the current condition that her body was in, so all she could do was train and enhance the strength of her body.
Mo Chu and Dongfang Yu were walking behind her, and seeing her listless expression; they instantly understood her thoughts. They did not know what to say, as both of them were singles, but they wanted to cheer her up.
Before they thought of what to say, Bai Rouyun snapped out of her depressing thoughts, "Little Chu, I"m going to go and strengthen my body."
Bai Rouyun did not wait for their answer before she began moving upstairs to her bedroom.
The bedroom was where she had been living with Li Moyun, and she felt a strange calm wash over her anxious heart as she entered. She took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood before she went into the washing room that was connected to the bedroom.
The water in the bathroom had been changed just before they returned to the mansion, and a Fire Stone had been placed within the bath.
The Fire Stone was a special type of stone that could be found around volcanoes. It gave off heat, and was often used to heat up water.
Before entering into the warm water, Bai Rouyun took out a small pill from within the Primal Chaos Dimension. The pill was a special pill she had refined previously. Its name was the Foundation Building Pill. It was a pill that had been extinct for thousands of years, but the formula had been amongst the ones that Bai Rouyun had gotten from Xiao Bao in the Primal Chaos Dimension.
The pill resembled a small pearl but with a slight green sheen to it. It was very smooth, and the scent that wafted out of it was also capable of making the people close by feel comfortable.
Bai Rouyun weighted the pill in her palm for some time before dropping it into the bath.
The scent that previously had been very faint, but comfortable, suddenly changed to a strong aroma that overwhelmed Bai Rouyun.
The full a.s.sault of the herbal scent caused Bai Rouyun to become dizzy, and her head began hurting. She understood that the Foundation Building Pill was made for someone of a higher level than her, but she also knew that she had to take a risk.
While it would still not be enough to cause her body to withstand the Qi in her dantian, it would still build a firm foundation for the body itself, allowing her to be able to use at least a bit of the Qi without harming her roots.
