Chapter 45 - Starting To Concoct Pills

"It really wasn't intentional," Bai Rouyun said sheepishly. "I did not intend to cause so many problems; it's just because your sister and brother are really annoying! I wanted to kill them, but because they were your siblings, I let them go" She was thoroughly affronted by then. She had truly suffered to keep his siblings out of harm's way.

"My sister and brother? Do you really think that I consider those pieces of trash my family? You can do with them what you please."

"Really?" Bai Rouyun's eyes shone with excitement.

"Of course, I do not want to see my wife getting bullied. Especially not by those pieces of trash."

Laughing out loud, Bai Rouyun suddenly felt ecstatic. She would not have to think about her ally's feelings when dealing with them in the future.

Seeing her satisfied smile, and the happiness on Bai Rouyun's face, Li Moyun was not satisfied. A dark cloud was evident on his face.

"You still have not answered me," he said, "why would you go out alone? Do you not know how dangerous it is? You are not that strong right now; you might get kidnapped!"

The more Li Moyun said, the guiltier Bai Rouyun felt, and she lowered her head with each sentence. She was indeed at fault this time.

"I won't do it again," she promised. But although she promised this, she could not help but glance at Li Moyun to see his expression, and she was complaining on the inside. It was just a simple trip to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Did he need to make it into such a big problem?

But she dared not open her mouth. She was aware that Li Moyun was in a foul mood, and if she went against him, then he would likely completely forbid her from exiting the palace.

Bai Rouyun was not wrong. Li Moyun was feeling very complicated at the moment. He had been incredibly nervous when he found out that she was gone, and it was even worse when he found out that she was all alone.

Although he was not sure about what position she held in his heart, he knew that it was not light. Looking at her, he could not help but feel his heart clench in worry.

Bai Rouyun could feel his glance at her face, and she felt a bit sweet in her heart. It was rare for her to have someone who worried about her before, only Xue Jingyu had worried about her in her previous life.

She was complaining a little, but she was also feeling sweetness. Li Moyun also knew that since nothing had happened, then there was not a need to scold her too much.

"I can begin concocting medicines soon," Bai Rouyun said proudly, as she looked at Li Moyun, her eyes sparkling as if asking to be pampered.

"That's good," he said, his eyes filled with tenderness. "But remember not to be too focused on playing with your concocting, we have to visit the Emperor soon."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head obediently. She was also looking forward to the visit to the palace, as that would be the first time she could pretend to be healing from her being dumb, and renounce her status as a deaf and mute.

As they arrived home, Bai Rouyun was happy and hurried to their bedchambers, where she entered the Primal Chaos Pagoda.

Inside the Primal Chaos Pagoda, the two small children were standing in front of her. One was a small boy, the pagoda spirit; the other was a little girl, Xiao Jin, the alchemy cauldron.

Bai Rouyun looked at Xiao Jin and smiled happily. "You liked the ginseng?" she asked, and Xiao Jin, who was suddenly having a red hue on her cheeks, nodded happily.

"Then, let us try concocting medicine!" Bai Rouyun was impatient and wanted to hurry, and Xiao Jin said nothing. She had wanted to concoct medicine for a long time, but without a master, it was impossible for her to concoct medicine.

Bai Rouyun looked around and found that Xiao Bao had already planted the herbs, and when she looked at her herb field, she was amazed to see that they had already started sprouting.

But she had a lot of mature herbs, which she had gotten from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and these were the ones she was going to use now.

What she was going to create was a simple pill, a Qi Returning Pill. It was the most common of all pills, and what it did was precisely as the name suggested, it allowed someone to restore their Qi.

These pills were immensely useful for every cultivator, and they existed in different tiers as well. The one she was going to make was the lowest tiered pill.

Even so, it required a full four different herbs. This was not considered many, compared to most other pills, but to a beginner, it was not easy at all to control four herbs.

She placed the first herb within the cauldron and ignited it with her sparse energy, the herb refinement took a long time, and she had to pause from time to time to restore her Qi before she could begin refining the second herb. This continued until all four herbs were refined.

Inside the cauldron, four small silvery pools of liquid were hovering in the air. The only reason that Bai Rouyun was able to take breaks through the refinement process was that she had a sentient cauldron, which was capable of storing the refined herbs separately.

After restoring all her energy, she began focusing on the next part of the concocting. The next step was to combine the four pools of liquid, and then she had to form the pill itself.
