Forsaken Immortals Chapter 36

"I don't want to," the little girl said, her adorable cheeks puffed up in anger, her lips in a pout as she was filled with indignance. She was a high grade artifact spirit; how could she possibly do something that embarrassing?
Seeing that someone was even more unfortunate than himself, Xiao Bao was giggling on the side, the smile impossible to be torn off his face.
"Xiao Jin, don't be too willful," Bai Rouyun said with a frown on her face as she looked at the cauldron spirit in front of her. "You are a part of my family now, I will treat you well, but you have to do your part too."
The cauldron, which was now given the name Xiao Jin, looked perplexed at Bai Rouyun. "I don't want to be part of your family!" she exclaimed in anger.
"Your objection is overruled," Bai Rouyun said carefreely, smiling at the small child. "I do not have a family," Bai Rouyun suddenly said. "In my previous life, I was all alone, only having one friend throughout my entire life, now I have found such wonderful companions such as yourself. What is wrong with calling you my children? I will treat you well."
Xiao Jin paused slightly. Was it like this? Bai Rouyun was not insulting them because she wanted to humiliate them, but because she genuinely treated them as her family?
The words seemed to move her heart, and she quickly nodded her head, her eyes sparkled suddenly as if she accepted her identity, causing Xiao Bao to be stunned. Was she not won over too quickly?
"But mother, you have to be equal to both big brother and me," she said, with her childish little voice. "I am a medicinal cauldron; I can only enhance my strength if I consume herbs of a certain grade. Help me get a slice of that blood ginseng."

"You also want a slice of the blood ginseng?" Bai Rouyun was surprised; she had not expected this. "Yes," Xiao Jin nodded her head. "I haven't been used for so long, so most of my powers are dormant right now. Only by consuming herbs at a thousand-year-old age, or older, will I be able to unleash my full might."
Bai Rouyun was a little surprised. A herb in her space would mature very quickly, one day of growth was as one year outside, but a thousand years! That was a thousand days, almost three years would have passed by then. She could not wait that long to refine medicine!
As if sensing her thoughts, Xiao Jin puffed up her cheeks in an adorable way once more. "Mother, if you get me some of that Blood Ginseng, then I will be able to help you refine pills from rank one to rank five. "
Alchemy was ranked differently from cultivation. The first ten ranks were graded from rank one to ten. It was a straightforward system.
Rank one pills worked for Acquired Realm, Earth Ranked practitioners. Rank two pills worked or Acquired Realm, Sky Ranked practitioners. Rank three pills were for the Acquired Realm, Heaven Ranked Practitioners. Rank four was for the Innate Realm, Red tier, rank five for the Innate Realm, Orange tier, and so on.
If what Xiao Jin said was right, then Bai Rouyun would be able to have pills all the way to the Innate Realm, Orange tier from the small blood ginseng alone. That was definitely worth it.
"I wonder if I can scam the Crown Prince once more," Bai Rouyun mumbled. "If not, I guess I can afford a single slice."
Hearing this, Xiao Jin suddenly felt that it was not such a bad idea to have accepted Bai Rouyun as her master. Although she was overly forceful and had a strange scent attached to her soul, she was very accommodating.

"So, we can't begin refining any pills before I have gotten my hands on the slice of the blood ginseng?" Bai Rouyun's face was slightly dark; she was feeling annoyed. She had been preparing for the refinement only to be doused in cold water.
As she left the hut, her mood lifted as the seeds she had handed over to Xiao Bao had already been planted and started to sprout.
She had planned on spending some time concocting and refining medicine, but now it seemed that that was not possible.
She rubbed Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin's heads before she left the Primal Chaos Dimension.
Here she sat on the bed for some time feeling annoyed, but since she could not refine medication before she got her hands on the blood ginseng, and thus she fished out her face-changing mask, put it on her face, and made an exit from the palace without anyone noticing her.
Usually, Li Moyun would have ensured that someone would have been present to observe her, but he had also been under the impression that she would have been concocting medicine or refining pills. Hence he did not send anyone to observe her actions.
Bai Rouyun, on the other hand, did not actually care about not having a guard with her.
Although she knew that she was a magnet for trouble, this was a simple visit to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and she was sure that it would not cause problems.
As she left the castle, she had changed into a green dress this time, her hair was tied on top of her head, and her eyes were sparkling. Although the fabric was made from Royal Cloth, no ordinary person would be able to notice it, and thus she dared wearing it outside.

The Fated Series. Book #1. "A single minute without her in my arms and it felt like a lifetime." - Mateo Ramos My name is Mateo Adam Ramos. I was born into a family who's bleed for their reputation, and built us into being one of the most dangerous families to exist. You hear my name... you run. I for one am determined to continue upholding that reputation because that's in my blood. But things are never that simple, are they? Feeling and emotions got involved, and everything I thought I knew, vanished the second I met her. A soft souled, beautiful brown eyed girl who gleams with goodness found her way into my life. I shouldn't have played the good samaritan, that was my fault. I don't want to know goodness, and yet I'm drawn in like it's the light to cure my sins. This goodness has a name, and a face of salvation and I for one know I shouldn't get involved. Guess what I do? I get involved. Because even if I don't want too that's not really how fate works, is it? You don't pick and choose fates plan, you get slammed with it and good luck to your poor soul. This is my story, the kind that was written years before I was even born, and now I'm living it. Watch me make a mess of it too, because after all, I wasn't born to follow. P.S. This book is technically #1, but I have a book before this one that's about their parents. You learn more, and get a clue about their parents and why they are the way they are. Some of the conversations in this book would make more sense by knowing the past. It's not as well written, but if you can get thought it, I promise you'll love this one even more. Of course if you rather start here, then you do you! It will make sense either way! I tired to fill in all the gaps without it getting overbearing. You can always hop back to the book before this after.
