Xiao Ran nodded, her face showing agreement, but in her heart she was already thinking about how to distance her brother from Xiao Shou and prevent him from associating with someone so useless.
This time, she would not be foolish again, providing him with food, clothing, shelter, and cultivation resources.
Back then, when her brother died miserably and her own life was hanging by a thread, Xiao Shou had repeatedly obtained opportunities and had already ascended to the Spirit Realm.
She had thought that giving a few magic treasures and some pills would settle everything.
This time, she wanted to see how Xiao Shou would enter the sect, gain the favor of the Peak Master of Void Origin Peak, be accepted as a direct disciple, and achieve success in cultivation without her and her brother acting like fools.
Xiao Ran cast a hidden glance of disdain at Xiao Shou.
Xiao Yi fell silent upon hearing this.
Xiao Ran quickly gave him a look, then bid farewell to Xiao Shou once again and left with Xiao Yi.
Only after they had gone far from the small courtyard did Xiao Yi finally speak, unable to hold back. "Xiao Ran, clearly we could just ask our master. Why did you say that?"
"Brother, it is also for Xiao Shou's own good. If he enters the outer sect without any cultivation, he will definitely be bullied by those outer sect disciples. You know that those outer sect disciples live by the rule of the strong preying on the weak. Once his cultivation recovers, we can go ask our master again." Xiao Ran said with a helpless expression.
Yet inwardly she sneered.
In the past, with her and her brother supplying him with pills, it had still taken ten years for him to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This time, without pills, she wanted to see how he would cultivate.
Would twenty years be enough?
There was no need for twenty years.
In just a few years, she would make sure her brother no longer had the time to think about an irrelevant person.
Xiao Yi did not know what Xiao Ran was thinking.
After the two of them left the marketplace and flew a hundred li away on their swords, Xiao Yi suddenly slapped his hand and said in frustration, "Ah! I forgot to leave the storage pouch for Xiao Shou."
"Storage pouch?" Xiao Ran asked in confusion.
Xiao Yi nodded. "Did you not give me the storage bracelet before? I'm no longer has any use for the storage pouch, as well as the Qi Refining stage artifacts and pills inside it. I've packed everything into the storage pouch to give to Xiao Shou, but I actually forgot about it. Really… Xiao Ran, you go ahead first. I will go back for a moment."
"No." Seeing Xiao Yi's surprised expression, Xiao Ran realized that her tone had been too harsh. She quickly pretended to be afraid and said, "I heard that the target of this mission might be ghost cultivators and demonic cultivators. It is very dangerous. I would not be able to handle it alone. Let us go complete the mission first. After we return, we can deliver it to Xiao Shou."
Near the mission location, there was a sealed blessed land.
In the previous life, Xiao Shou had gone there a few years after entering the sect and reaching Foundation Establishment.
While carrying out a mission nearby, he had accidentally entered the sealed area and obtained many benefits inside, his cultivation rising directly to the Golden Core stage before he came out.
In just a few years, his cultivation had surpassed both her and her brother.
This time, the ones entering would be her and her brother, and the ones reaching the Golden Core stage would also be the two of them.
Yu Lin, Chi Jia, just wait.
She would soon catch up to their cultivation.
At that time, she would grind their bones to dust and destroy their souls completely.
Xiao Ran lowered her eyes and her beautiful face twisted slightly.
"Alright." Xiao Yi was also worried about leaving his sister alone, so he immediately nodded.
They had not even entered the main hall.
It seemed that the heroine was very disgusted with the original owner.
Xiao Shou remembered that in the previous life described in the book, the original owner had never wronged the heroine.
After entering the sect, he had always remembered the kindness of the siblings and shared opportunities with them whenever he obtained any.
After his cultivation improved, he had also protected them.
Otherwise, Yu Lin would not have waited until after Xiao Shou ascended to the Spirit Realm before taking action.
He recalled that in the original text of the book, when Yu Lin mocked Xiao Ran, she had even said that if not for Xiao Shou, she would not have needed to use such troublesome methods or make Chi Jia lower himself to approach her.
Moreover, after the heroine's rebirth, many of her opportunities were things Xiao Shou had told her about in his previous life.
Clearly, he had never wronged her, so why was he hated?
Forget it.
There was no point in thinking about it.
The heroine's thoughts were impossible to guess.
Right now, treating his injuries was more important.
Xiao Shou took out the jade token to activate the formation, returned to the room, and after closing the doors and windows, he took out the ten bottles of low-grade Life Rejuvenation Pills from his storage pouch.
He picked up one bottle and poured all ten pills into his palm.
After he activating his Absolute Fusion ability, a burst of golden light flashed over his hand.
The ten pills twisted and fused together, and in an instant became a single pill.
"Not bad, a mid-grade Life Rejuvenation Pill. Continue." Xiao Shou picked it up and examined the pill patterns, then proceeded to fuse the remaining nine bottles into nine mid-grade Life Rejuvenation Pills.
