Forsaken Immortals Chapter 144 - Marketing

Chapter 144 - Marketing

While the twins were hatching their own plans back in the Imperial Capital of the Richu Empire, news of the Marrow-Cleansing Pill spread through all the neighboring countries. Many n.o.bles and cultivators hurried towards Canglan City.

The Thousand Treasure Pavilion had done an excellent job at marketing the pill. They had focused on it being created from an ancient recipe, and they had even guaranteed the pill's effectiveness.

If it did not live up to the name of an ancient pill, then the auction house would refund the buyer all they had paid during the auction.

Such a promise was simply unheard of before. Usually, every auction was final, and if the goods you got did not live up to expectations, then that was just too bad for the buyer.

However, the Thousand Treasure Pavilion manager within Canglan City was aware that such a pill would cause doubt.

The fact that it had been refined while following an ancient formula was enough to make people question the authenticity of their words, so they had to somehow make people understand that they were not joking.

The manager had made this decision without consulting with Bai Rouyun, and as such, this meant that if it did not live up to par, then the loss was to be carried by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion alone.

Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun had also seen the effectiveness of the marketing that had been done. Whenever they had some extra time, they would stroll the streets, and they had noticed that the city was even more bustling with life now than it had been when the recruitment ceremony for the Blue Water Inst.i.tute had been ongoing.

Many came from far and near to partic.i.p.ate in the auction, and the Thousand Treasure Pavilion ended up reserving the central square of the city to host the auction there. Their usual auction hall would never be able to seat that many important guests.

While the whole city was bursting with antic.i.p.ation, the main character in the whole event, Bai Rouyun, was seated on her bed with her legs crossed.

Her eyes were closed, and she was absorbing the heaven and earth essence at a rapid speed.

Although it seemed rather fast, Li Moyun was aware that there was no rush in the speed with which she was absorbing. She took the time to fully refine this essence into Qi, but even so, the speed even made him admire her progress.

It would not take her long before she reached the Innate Realm.

Cultivation was split into realms. Each realm was different from the previous, and when one broke into the next realm, their strength would be at a completely different stage.

Bai Rouyun was well aware of this, having already broken into the Innate Realm in her previous life, and Li Moyun was not worried about her cultivation process.

However, he was eager to see her grow stronger. As it was now, she was not capable of standing side by side with him, as she would become his soft underbelly, his weakness.

He had complete faith in himself to be able to keep her safe, but he was well aware of her personality. She would never allow herself to become a weak woman who relied on her husband to shoulder all the difficulties for her.

She wanted to break free, to soar in the sky, to be a phoenix, and as the doting husband that he was, he had to ensure that her dreams could come true.

Bai Rouyun was unaware of Li Moyun's thoughts, but she would have been moved if she knew them. Many men looked at women as a vase that had to stay at home and make them feel better; however, Li Moyun truly understood her, and wanted to give her what she wished for.

Although he said nothing when Bai Rouyun looked at him, she saw the tenderness in his eyes, and her heart began beating rapidly. She knew that this man was considering everything for her sake.

This kind of consideration was not something she had encountered before.

She felt her heart swell with happiness, but her joy made Li Moyun's heart turn sour. He had not said anything, but she was already so touched.

Just what kind of horrible life had she lived before, to be so happy and moved from nothing more than a single pampering look from him?

Li Moyun took her into his arms. Although she was seated on the bed and looked as if she was cultivating, he did not hesitate to drag her into his embrace.

The st.u.r.dy arms wrapped around her, making Bai Rouyun feel a sense of security, and she could not help but rub her head against his chest in a gentle and comfortable manner.

She felt blessed to have woken up as his wife. She felt that although she wanted revenge, she would not live solely because of this purpose. She wanted to gain her vengeance, but the priority in this life would be to reach the apex of the world alongside Li Moyun.

She was not aiming for them to pressure everyone else and take over the control of the world, what she wanted was the journey that they could share, and the security they could gain.

She wanted to build a family with Li Moyun, but she would never start doing so before she was confident that they had what it took to protect their, and their children's happiness.

She had personally experienced the pain of being an orphan. She had experienced having to rely on herself, and going hungry for so long that she nearly died due to it.

She would never allow her child to suffer the same fate as herself, and thus she needed strength.
