Forsaken Immortals

While Li Moyun and Wen Sihan were busy in the study, Bai Rouyun was seated in the Primal Chaos Dimension. She looked at Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin, who were both staring back at her.

In Xiao Bao's hand was a small jade vial, and within it was the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

This Marrow-Cleansing Pill would be able to change her body and increase her talent for cultivation, so Bai Rouyun smiled slightly when she reached out and took it.

Both Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin were slightly hesitant. Although they knew the benefits that the pill brought her, both of them also understood the immense torture that was accompanied by the consumption of the pill.

The pill was small and round, it was glistening with a red color, and Bai Rouyun, who had previously consumed a Marrow-Cleansing Pill also hesitated when she thought about the pain she would experience.

But the hesitation lasted for merely a second before her eyes gleamed with a decisive light, and the pill was placed in her mouth.

The pill quickly dissolved and turned into energy that seeped into every corner of her body.

At first, it felt like thousands of ants were walking on her skin, then it felt as if they began biting her, an indescribable discomfort and itch appeared all over her body.

As time went by, the itch and discomfort turned to direct pain. Sharp bursts of pain erupted in her body. At first, there was a long duration between the bursts of pain, but as time went by, the pain became more and more intense, and the frequency of the attacks came back to back.

During the entire time, Bai Rouyun was sitting still with her legs crossed, and her eyes closed. Sweat was beading on her forehead, and her body began trembling as the pain was getting more and more intense, but not the slightest sound escaped her lips.

Bai Rouyun's lips were tightly pursed, her jaw clenched. She refused to let the slightest sound escape her lips.

Time went by slowly. It felt as if one minute took a year, but at the same time, while it was immensely painful, she could feel her body's condition improve drastically.

Her eyelids trembled, her entire back was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, and black goo-like substances were being excreted through her pores, all the impurities within her body were being expelled.

As the day turned to night, the pain that Bai Rouyun was feeling was slowly lessening. Her body was almost fully remodeled by the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and she could not help but smile, while her eyes were still closed.

Although the pain was getting less and less intense and the bursts erupting less often, she was not in a rush to end her cultivation.

Only when the crimson sunrise was on the horizon did Bai Rouyun open her eyes. She was sure that the last bits of the medicinal energy had been fully used up.

Many who used the Marrow-Cleansing Pill failed at two very common parts. First of all, many could not withstand the pain and would faint, hence making the pill useless. Others would not have the patience to wait for the last bits of the pill's medicinal energy to be used.

As a result, most people did not get the optimal use of the pill, and thus, their remodeling was not as successful as that of those who managed to use the entire medicinal properties within the pill.

Bai Rouyun knew much about medicinal pills, and she had been told by Xiao Bao to consume all the energy before she moved. As such, she had gotten the best performance from an ancient pill.

Her remodeling of the body was perfect.

"Mother, come and take a bath," Xiao Jin appeared next to Bai Rouyun and pointed towards the hut. "Brother Xiao Bao has prepared a bathtub full of spiritual liquid. Although we usually use it to water the flowers, it is also good for other purposes. For instance, it can strengthen and nourish your meridians, it can also help purify your Qi, and it is even beneficial for your skin!"

Bai Rouyun could not process too much of what Xiao Jin was saying. She had been undergoing excruciating pain during the entire night, so it was only natural that she finally let go.

When she staggered towards the hut, she could smell the gentle and herbal scent of the spiritual liquid, and it slowly woke her up again.

She regained a bit of energy as she entered the hut. She then shrugged off the dirty clothes and jumped into the water, after which she felt her entire being becoming much more relaxed.

Her entire body relaxed. She stayed in the water for a long time, and all the grime and impurities were washed away from her body.

She slowly rose from the water, took a clean set of clothes, and put them on. When the clean clothes landed on her body, she felt much more comfortable.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Bao, come to Mother," Bai Rouyun called out, and both spirit artifacts rushed to her side.

"The pill was amazing, but do you have a book of formulas I can bring with me? I promised Li Moyun to help him with the recipes."

Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao were both hesitant. They did not mind helping their cheap mother, but they were not glad to help someone else.

"Li Moyun is your daddy," Bai Rouyun said, "We got to help him with what we can."

Hearing that it was a daddy, Xiao Jin was much more obedient than Xiao Bao, and she quickly ran into the hut and returned with a big book full of recipes and formulas.
