Chapter 245 - The Four Creatures
Bai Rouyun enjoyed the feeling of Qi roaming through her body once more. Although the previous predicament had not harmed her, her body still felt much more comfortable when the energy could flow unhindered.
She had also been forced to stop actively refining energy due to the situation with her body, but now that she could cultivate again, a strange and childlike happiness overwhelmed her, which caused her to be even more successful in cultivation.
The Primal Chaos Dimension was full of heaven and earth essence, but the moment Bai Rouyun began cultivating, it all poured in her direction and wrapped around her as a cocoon.
Previously, she had experienced the consequences of not being able to keep her body and energy balanced, but due to the perfection of her body, she did not have to fear such a situation again. Her current body would be able to withstand the Qi that was used before one reached the Ascended Realm and left for the Wushi Continent.
The feeling of being filled with energy once more, and how it was slowly turning from a mist-like cloud into streams of qi, was so refreshing that she could not help but smile contently.
All the four creatures within the dimension slowly relaxed and looked at the woman who had become their master. Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao were both treasures which were supposed to be merely treated as tools, but they could not help but glance at the numerous and rare resources in front of them that they could use as they pleased.
Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao were not as close to Bai Rouyun, but they could also see what she had been doing in the outside world while they had been resting.
Initially, both of them felt grateful towards their new master, but they were not aware of her personality or aim with contracting them, so they also felt a bit of hesitation and worry for the future.
However, the more they had seen throughout the time they had spent in the dimension, the more they came to respect their new master, and truly wished to be considered family members, much like the two spirits.
The four observed the woman cultivate for a few hours before she slowly opened her eyes and stretched her body.
She felt comfortable and energetic, it was as if she had gotten a long and well-needed rest, and her body had regained all the strength it had been lacking previously.
"Did you find the ingredients you wanted?"
Bai Rouyun looked at Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao. She noticed that the two of them had merely picked a few items each, and most of these items were not even herbs, so she could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise, but she did not comment on it.
"Xiao Mao, Xiao Hua, come here."
She called out, and the two, beast and plant, hurried to her side.
"I am actually not very familiar with the cultivation of beasts and plant spirits, but I got a lot of treasures before. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate to ask for it. If it is something that I do not have, then tell me, and I will try to get it."
Xiao Hua was a plant spirit, but it was still unable to take on human shape, so it mainly consisted of a vine, however she could sense the disdain as it looked at the herbs placed in the pile.
However, suddenly, a vine shot out from the ground and wrapped itself around a few beast cores with eagerness.
No one in the dimension had any use of these cores apart from Bai Rouyun, but seeing the eagerness of the little plant spirit, she happily patted the vine and allowed it to impale the beast cores to consume the energy within.
Xiao Mao, who was standing by the side, was calm upon seeing this action. While he himself also had a beast core, he had consumed numerous cores from weaker beasts before, and while these cores could assist him, they were not as useful as many of the herbs in the pile, so he had no interest in fighting for a few treasures with Xiao Hua.
Noticing how the four of them could share the treasures so well, Bai Rouyun could not help but feel proud and grateful. They were all pure and gentle spirits. While they might have killed before, they were not the kind of souls that would fight with their friends and family for wealth, and she felt that she could truly trust them.
Time had gone past swiftly, and it did not take long for Bai Rouyun to know that she had to leave the Primal Chaos Dimension.
So far, no one knew the result of her trying to enhance her body, and if she spent too long inside the Primal Chaos Dimension, someone would worry about her wellbeing, and try to enter her room.
If they entered and found that she had vanished, then havoc would break out, and she would have to come up with a good excuse for her disappearance.
While she did trust the majority of the members within the Eternal Shadow Palace, she knew that they could never be told about her connection to the Primal Chaos Pagoda, as it would bring her much more danger and risk in the future.
As she left the dimension, she looked at the room and felt at peace. She had not stayed within Canglan City for a long time, but the time she had spent here was full of memories.
Many of these memories were shared with her and Li Moyun, and the warmth she had gained after rebirth was enough to make her feel at peace.
She felt ready to face the future!
