Forsaken Immortals Chapter 71 - Immemorial Chamomile

Chapter 71 - Immemorial Chamomile

Wen Sihan raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw that the Crown Prince and Princess Xing retreated.

Although they were both stronger than Bai Rouyun in their cultivation base, their background was also much more ill.u.s.trious, and their ident.i.ty could not be belittled; they could not argue with her words.

Every person who was present in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was observing Bai Rouyun with mixed emotions.

They enjoyed drama, so the scene they had just seen was immensely satisfying, but they also felt somewhat unbalanced by knowing of her fast cultivation speed. They also understood that Bai Rouyun had a good relationship with Wen Sihan. He even gave her so many pills, and when they knew that she could roast someone with words so easily, they all felt a strange feeling of unfairness.

Not only had she married the man that every woman within the Empire wished to marry, but she was also pampered by him, and now she had shown to be a person with magnificent cultivation talent.

But many had their own thoughts. The Royal Hunting Feast was a recurring event that happened every year.

The youths of the capital's upper cla.s.s would be sent to a mountain, and they would have to fight against magical beasts. The one who got the most beast cores would be crowned the winner. Of course, the quality of the beast cores also mattered.

Bai Rouyun did not know much about the Royal Hunting Feast, but she listened to the people's gossip in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, so she got a brief understanding of it.

The prize for winning first place was a whole thousand-year-old Immemorial Chamomile herb, a crucial herb for advancing one's cultivation base, and could help one break through from the Acquired Realm into the Innate Realm.

Bai Rouyun was very eager to get her hands on the Immemorial Chamomile as it was able to help her increase her strength further.

There were also pills that could help one bridge the gap between the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm. However, they were not as useful, and they would leave hidden dangers in one's system if they were consumed. These hidden dangers could quickly end up damaging one's potential or success of advancing later, so most people broke through without the aid of herbs or pills. However, the Immemorial Chamomile was a very gentle herb and had no harmful consequences from being ingested.

The Emperor had taken this reward out to seem generous, but he was already certain that the winner of the Royal Hunting Feast would be his favorite son, the Crown Prince.

Since Li Moyun had been sent away, no one present could rival him in cultivation prowess, so the Emperor was not worried. If there was even the slightest bit of doubt, he would have never taken out the Immemorial Chamomile to be the prize.

Bai Rouyun was aware that she was currently not trash in cultivation. Her speed had been swift, but her current stage was very similar to others her age.

While she could challenge experts of a higher tier than herself, she had to consider the person's martial art techniques and manuals. If they had some excellent skills, she would be unable to gain too much of an advance.

She had, of course, many skills that were high tier and could use them to gain an advantage, but someone like the Crown Prince, who was the Acquired Realm, Heaven Ranked, Initiate Layer, he was much higher ranked than her.

Even if she could challenge higher-ranked experts, this was two whole realms above her. She would not stand much chance in winning against him.

However, she had a full week before the Royal Hunting Feast began. She had faith in her herbal baths and her talent. She believed that she would be able to reach at least the Acquired Realm, Sky Ranked, Initiate Layer.

While it was merely one breakthrough, it was a world in difference between an Earth Ranked expert, and a Sky Ranked expert.

Even if she had little faith in herself now, she did not doubt that she would be much more likely to succeed when she became a Sky Realm cultivator.

"Miss Bai, what can we help you with?" While everyone else was busy whispering and gossiping amongst themselves, the manager did not forget his task.

Bai Rouyun was a very important customer to their shop, so he better tend to her well.

"I need some herbs," she said casually, taking out a piece of parchment from her Primal Chaos Dimension, and handing it over to him.

At first, the manager was horrified. Herbs could be costly if they had to be a certain age, but upon seeing that they just needed to be ten years old or older, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

After ensuring that there was nothing too rare amongst these herbs, he quickly went to get them for her.

At the same time, Wen Sihan looked at Bai Rouyun with surprise in his eyes.

He had seen the piece of parchment that she had handed to the Manager, and he instantly recognized the herbs put on it. These were the ingredients for the Marrow-Cleansing Pill! And there were so many of them!

It was evident that she was an alchemist since she asked for the herbs; it was just he did not know how proficient she was. He suddenly had an urge to discuss the refinement of pills and concoction of elixirs with her.

She was the one who had given them the recipes and formulas, and she clearly held many secrets. Wen Sihan looked at Bai Rouyun with curiosity. How could such a small person contain so many secrets?
