Chapter 158: Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun

Alchemists were usually not concerned about cultivating their inner strength. Most of them were obsessed with improving their ability to refine pills, and to get their pills to be free of as many impurities as possible.

Due to this obsession, they did not cultivate their inner energies often, and thus they were actually rather weak. They only cultivated for the sake of gaining an expanded life expectancy; even their cultivation base was unsteady, and they were not used to fighting.

The reason that alchemists were revered was due to their ability to assist the true geniuses. Pills would always be needed, and those who devoted their lives to concocting them would produce better results.

Since they were useful to the geniuses, they would also be protected. Since they had benefited from their pills, they would also return the favor.

This alchemist from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was quite familiar with all the experts in Canglan City, and he had often provided them with help, so they treated him with respect. This respect had caused him to get too proud, and think that the world needed to bow down in front of an alchemist, no matter who the other person was.

He was furious, and his eyes were full of malice, but he did not act against Li Moyun right away. He needed to get a much better understanding of their strength first. The man seemed so strong, and he was not sure if the experts that he had helped would be able to handle a fight against this expert.

Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun did not think more about the event. Bai Rouyun was rather happy when she got her hands on the qiankun bag. She was a money-grubber, and she had just gotten a lot of treasures without having to pay for it.

While Bai Rouyun did not have a complete understanding of what was within the qiankun bag, Xiao Bao had already emptied it and put the items in the right location.

The herbs were placed in the hut, alongside the other ripe herbs that had been harvested during the time that Bai Rouyun had become the owner of the Primal Chaos Pagoda.

There had been a few seeds in the qiankun bag too, and Xiao Bao had already planted them. Every resource was treated with the utmost respect; however, when it came to the pills that this alchemist had created, they were tossed in a dusty corner. Their purity was lacking, and they were created from incomplete formulas. Even just looking at them made Xiao Bao feel disgusted.

Bai Rouyun also had no intention of using those pills, nor did she plan on selling them. But she was against throwing them away, and thus she just let them stay within the dusty corner where they would not take up much space.

Bai Rouyun was aware of Xiao Bao's actions even without entering the Primal Chaos Dimension.

The two, husband and wife, felt rather happy as they returned home. Bai Rouyun had also stored the essence stones within the Primal Chaos Dimension, and she truly felt that today was a great harvest.

Li Moyun could not help but smile as he saw the undisguised happiness on Bai Rouyun's face.

Fifteen hundred and twenty essence stones were truly not a lot to him. He had his own vein and was capable of extracting quite a few if he wanted to.

Most of the factions had many followers, and they had to be much more careful about the amount they used.

The Eternal Shadow Palace held control over a large vein, which in no way could be compared to the veins that many of the other factions had. They also had a lot fewer experts in their faction, so their monthly costs were also much lower.

While it was a young faction, and did not have as long of a history like many others, nor did it have as significant an influence on the public as the older factions, it was very hard to rival it when it came to real power.

Li Moyun still found her money-grubbing appearance extremely adorable. She was like a kitten who had just stolen a fish, and was incredibly proud of herself.

He could not help but chuckle as he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her.

The arms radiated a warmth that entered Bai Rouyun's body, and she felt the happiness of being held in Li Moyun's arms.

Li Moyun felt his body grow hotter as he felt the petite body that was rubbing against him, and his eyes turned darker and deeper.

He wanted to bind her to his side, bring her everywhere he went, and ensure that she would never leave his eyesight, but he knew that this extreme possessiveness was impossible, as she was an individual who was born to soar high into the heavens.

However, no matter how great her future would be, he would be there for her, pampering her, and loving her. When she was tired, he would hold her; when she encountered problems that she could not solve, he would then step forward to ensure that she was safe.

The love in his eyes was so blinding that Bai Rouyun lost control of herself as she gazed at him. She felt her mind turn blank, her heartbeat increase, and her mouth open slightly as she wanted to say something.

However, just as she wanted to speak, Li Moyun lowered his head and accurately placed his lips on top of hers. The kiss was not as gentle and lingering as usual, but contained an aggressiveness that Bai Rouyun had not experienced before.

Bai Rouyun could feel the overbearing emotions of Li Moyun. She could sense his love, and knew that he was having a hard time controlling himself from breaking her wings.

But the fact that he was able to hold back made her feel warm and loved. He was always doing what was best for her.
