What made him happy was that there was no one there.

Xiao Shou landed in satisfaction and cast an earth dragon technique.

The Spirit Sand immediately condensed into a sand dragon several times larger than a normal earth dragon technique and flew quickly into his storage bag.

Being able to collect Spirit Sand so efficiently made Xiao Shou very pleased.

He also felt relieved that he had a earth spiritual root, otherwise the technique would not have been so smooth.

However, after filling one storage bag, he froze.

One storage bag only produced enough for two Tier 4 Spirit Sand.

If he collected sand this way, how many storage bags would he need?

He had brought quite a few storage bags, but they were not meant to be used like this.

Feeling like he had made a foolish mistake again, Xiao Shou’s face turned red as he dumped out all the sand he had just collected.

He then took out a Tier 4 large illusion array plate from his storage belt and set up an illusion formation covering the entire sand beach.

Anyone who entered the formation would fall into an illusion, seeing the same spirit sand beach as before and still able to collect sand.

However, they would not be able to see him hiding inside the formation.

With this, he could safely use his Absolute Fusion ability on site and only collect Tier 4 Spirit Sand.

Thus, Xiao Shou spent the entire day at the spirit sand beach and continuously fusion Tier 4 Spirit Sand without stopping.

By nightfall, he had used his Absolute Fusion ability and make a full hundred pieces of Tier 4 Spirit Sand, while the beach itself showed no visible depletion.

Although reluctant to leave, Xiao Shou still packed up and rode his wooden crane puppet back to White Silver City.

Unexpectedly, just as he entered the Chen family residence, he saw a group of people standing by the entrance.

A middle-aged man and woman suddenly ran past a young girl sitting on a simple wooden chair and knelt directly in front of Xiao Shou.

After knocking their heads on the ground three times with loud thuds, they looked up and said, "Thank you, immortal, for the medicine that saved our daughter’s life. We, husband and wife, are deeply grateful for your great kindness."

"Ah! You are Su Rourou’s parents. Please get up. It is only a few Life Rejuvenation Pills, not worth such courtesy."

Xiao Shou was slightly stunned at first, but when he saw the little girl’s pale face and her empty sleeves, he immediately realized who they were and quickly motioned for them to rise.

"Senior Xiao, you are back."

Chen Yufei ran over and helped the Su couple up.

"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, there is no need to be so polite. Senior Xiao is a very good person."

Xiao Shou had just obtained the precious Tier 4 Spirit Sand today and was in a good mood.

He did not mind being praised as a good person.

Seeing the Su couple stand up, he walked over to the little girl who had suffered because of his butterfly effect. He then gently patted her head and said softly, "You look a bit more energetic. With some proper nourishment for a while, your vitality will recover."

"Senior Xiao, is it true that your sect can reconstruct a body?"

Su Rourou who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke while looking at Xiao Shou with a somewhat deliberate calmness.

Looking into Su Rourou’s dark eyes, Xiao Shou could almost imagine that hundreds of years later, in a secret realm of the spirit world, a valiant female martial cultivator would calmly step ahead of Xiao Ran and seize the sword seed first.

After spacing out for a brief moment, he came back to his senses.

This time, he did not try to express apology through gentleness.

Instead, he nodded seriously.

"It is true. But only disciples of my sect can use it. Once you become a disciple, loyalty to the sect must come first. Your actions will also be restricted by the sect. For example, if you miss home and the sect does not permit it, you will not be able to return no matter how much you want to."

"I understand all of that. Xiaoyu already told me."

Su Rourou spoke urgently, though she struggled to find moving words.

"Senior Xiao, please take me to your sect. As long as I can reconstruct my body and return to the path of martial cultivation, joining the sect is fine. I will become an outstanding disciple."

After hearing this, Xiao Shou turned to the Su couple and asked seriously,

"What do the two of you think?"

"Being able to join a sect is a blessing that independent cultivators like us can only hope for. We both support Rourou’s decision," Father Su said first.

Beside him, Mother Su hesitated for a few moments before asking somewhat shyly, "Senior Xiao, may I ask what your sect is called and where it is located? Does it accept other disciples? Rourou’s brothers and sisters are also martial cultivators and have not joined any sect yet."

"My sect is called Eternal Prosperity Sect."

When Xiao Shou said this, he felt an intense sense of embarrassment in his heart, but he still forced himself to continue.

"The sect is located several thousand miles away from Azure Origin City. We do recruit disciples, but only children under the age of twelve. Those older than that are not accepted."

After speaking, Xiao Shou deliberately glanced at the three siblings of the Chen family.

The amusement in Chen Zhiyi’s eyes, the surprise in Chen Qingzhi’s, and the envy in Chen Yufei’s were all clearly seen by him.

Facing Chen Zhiyi whose eyes could see through everything, Xiao Shou felt immense pressure.

Every word he spoke felt extremely awkward as if he were lying in front of a police officer.

Because of that, he could not bring himself to say anything about taking Chen Yufei along and could only look apologetically at Chen Yufei’s disappointed expression.
