Bai Rouyun was aware that she did not need all of these treasures to increase her body's strength, but they were all considered rare and valuable.
Even if she did not need them now, she might do so later. Also, many people followed her, and it would be fine to hand these treasures over to them. The pills were, after all, not that special to her, and if she released a few on the market, then the buyers would know that they existed and would be more eager for them later.
Bai Rouyun's way of thinking was very different from Li Moyun's. Both of them wished to use these pills to enhance the Eternal Shadow Palace, but they had their own ways.
Li Moyun did not wish for the rest of the world to know of the pills' existence as he feared that it might bring danger to his wife, but Bai Rouyun was much calmer, and knew that if they could produce these pills, then others would try to gain their favor.
The manager looked at the pleased expression on Bai Rouyun's face as she happily traded these unobtainable pills for some treasures. These treasures were indeed valuable and rare to find, but they were not worth as much as a pill.
However, he had gained an excellent reputation due to this transaction, so the manager would not remind her that all trades were final.
The manager felt as if he had benefited from this trade, but Bai Rouyun did not feel as if she had been cheated. Both were delighted with the way things had turned out, but they both felt as if they had taken advantage of the other.
Due to their own thoughts, they did not notice that the other was feeling as smug as they themselves were, and only Jiang Wei was feeling somewhat amused by their actions.
Bai Rouyun, who had felt as if she had picked up a bargain, quickly bid the manager farewell before she left the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
Jiang Wei followed behind her with a smile on his face as he shook his head. It was his job to protect her, so he hurried to follow her as she almost fled the appraisal room, which also caused the customers within the main hall to look at her with some doubts.
Usually, when someone was fleeing from the auction house, then they would be either embarrassed or furious, but this woman was clearly excited and happy.
Jiang Wei noticed the quizzical eyes cast their way, but he was naturally not going to explain to these people what had happened. If they knew that Bai Rouyun had that many pills and treasures, there was no guarantee that she would not be kidnapped on the way back.
Bai Rouyun did not think about what ripples her actions might bring to these other guests. Currently, she was eager to rush back home so that she could begin to temper her body, and to finally feel the Qi running through her veins once more.
Although she managed even without the Qi running through her body, she had been feeling very uncomfortable. This Qi was a part of her, it was her strength and the element that gave her faith in herself, but she had been unable to use it due to her fragile body.
The main reason for the energy to be this hard to control was actually Bai Rouyun's own fault. The Qi had been refined to a purity that put extra strain on her body, and made it difficult for the veins and meridians to withstand the power if they were not of an equally good quality.
Usually, the body and the Qi would be able to adjust and advance together, but the sudden burst in her Qi due to the previous epiphany had caused an imbalance that was hard to solve.
Although she was training her body tirelessly during this period of time, the Qi refinement had also not paused. Although she could not use this Qi, she was still ensuring that she could refine more so that after she managed to recreate her body, then her strength would reach a completely different level.
The sudden burst of strength that had caused her to reach the Innate Realm, Orange Tier, was already a rank higher when compared to other cultivators of the same age in the Blue Water Institute. However, if she was put alongside the geniuses from the various sects, she was still lacking.
However, this knowledge did not make her discouraged. Bai Rouyun was perfectly well aware that she had just started cultivating recently. Although she was far from having equal strength to the geniuses of the same age, she had begun cultivating much later than them, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to still lag behind.
Although she lagged behind now, she did not doubt that she would catch up soon. When she caught up, those who looked down on her would be unable to say anything, as she would be able to reach their level of strength in a much shorter time frame than they had needed.
Bai Rouyun suddenly furrowed her brows as she paused her steps and looked behind herself.
Jiang Wei was still walking behind her leisurely. He was smiling gently as he observed her actions; it seemed as if her happiness was enough to bring him equal joy.
Such a harmless appearance did not make Bai Rouyun feel relaxed. Instead, she felt slightly uncomfortable. Why had she been able to completely relax with him present? Why had she been so happy to forget her vigilance? She already found him questionable, but she suddenly acted as if she trusted him, which made her feel very conflicted.
