The yellow sand stretched endlessly, littered with the carcasses of Sand Blight Spiders, densely covering the ground.

Easily disposing of thousands of Sand Spiders, the newcomer's strength had reached an astonishing level.

With his left hand, he took out a clean white cloth and wiped the Rainbow Sword clean before sheathing it.

Lu Yunxiao held the sword, his gaze fixed on the sky.

A gentle breeze stirred, and a figure in blue slowly descended from the sky, revealing her appearance and figure.

She wore a robe of blue, carrying an exquisite slender blue longsword.

Graceful and elegant, her long black hair danced in the wind, emanating a faint ethereal aura.

Lu Yunxiao's gaze shifted and, upon seeing her flawless beauty, he couldn't help but be slightly shaken.

Pure as spring water, Pure as snow from the ninth heaven, Clear as a lotus emerging from the water, Calm as an orchid in a secluded valley!

What an untainted beauty, truly embodying the essence of nature's elegance.

Coupled with her inherent nobility, she exuded a staggering charm, captivating anyone who laid eyes on her.

"What a stunning woman, truly peerless," Lu Yunxiao murmured, awe shining in his eyes.

He had seen beautiful women before, but encountering such an exceptional beauty was a first for him.

"Is the host smitten?" the system's amused voice echoed in Lu Yunxiao's mind.

"To be honest, a little," Lu Yunxiao earnestly replied in his mind.

Being moved by beauty was natural for humans, especially for a young man alone and of fine character. Feeling a twinge of admiration upon seeing a beauty wasn't excessive.

"Host, you're taken by appearances, huh!" the system teased.

"Pah, can't you speak properly? This is called love at first sight," Lu Yunxiao retorted.

"Ah, every person smitten by appearances says the same," the system said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxiao rolled his eyes, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

As his gaze shifted, the blue figure had already landed, merely three meters away.

At this close distance, her stunning visage became even clearer: eyes like stars, lips like vermillion, skin like snow, features picturesque, stunning beyond imagination.

With the gentle breeze, Lu Yunxiao could even catch a whiff of her delicate and refreshing fragrance.

Her appearance, strength, and demeanor left no doubt in Lu Yunxiao's mind about her identity. Such a presence was unique in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Thinking this, Lu Yunxiao couldn't help but soften his gaze a bit. After all, the person before him was his favorite character from the books he used to read.

She was a good woman, a really good woman.

"Thank you for saving me sister, I am indebted to you," Lu Yunxiao bowed slightly, expressing gratitude to the woman in azure.

"Sister?" The woman in blue softly repeated, her gaze flickering slightly. Since becoming the sect master, it was the first time someone had addressed her as "sister."

After all, she held a noble status as the sect master, and no one dared to address her so casually.

However, it felt rather special.

Her phoenix-like eyes shifted as she appraised Lu Yunxiao. His sword-like eyebrows, delicate features, and the otherworldly aura made him a rare sight. Especially the ethereal vibe he exuded, transcending the mundane.

Though she didn't judge people solely by appearances, she found herself appreciating the appearance of this young man. He was arguably the most remarkable person she had ever seen.

Moreover, whether it was her perception or not, she felt an inexplicable closeness to him. The more she looked, the more pleasing he appeared.

Despite having just met, her impression of this young man was quite favorable.

"It's just a small favor; there's no need for gratitude," the woman in blue waved her hand, smiling softly.

"To me, your help was lifesaving. I will remember this and won't hesitate to repay this kindness," Lu Yunxiao said firmly.

That was his character—grateful for the kindness received, willing to return it manyfold. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, let alone saving his life.

"Host, although you're expressing gratitude, this system feels like you have other intentions," the system unexpectedly chimed in.

"Shut up," Lu Yunxiao snapped in his mind, annoyed.

"Alright, this system will shut up. You really are heartless when it comes to the opposite sex. This system has been wrong about you," the system sighed.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

He suddenly realized that his system was really quite something.

Meanwhile, hearing Lu Yunxiao's words, a faint smile appeared on the woman lips. No one wanted to save a thankless person. Lu Yunxiao's words only increased her appreciation for him.

Studying Lu Yunxiao for a while, she couldn't help feeling pleased. Though he appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, his cultivation had reached the level of a six-star Dou Zhe. His foundation was solid, and his combat abilities were outstanding—able to fight second-tier magical beasts. His talent surpassed most, even those from the renowned Misty Cloud Sect.

If she could recruit him into the Misty Cloud Sect, he would undoubtedly become a significant force, further strengthening the sect.

With a flicker in her heart, she asked, "Young brother, you possess exceptional talent. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

The Misty Cloud Sect was the top sect in the Jia Ma Empire, but the empire had more than just one sect. Hence, the woman in blue posed this question.

Hearing her query, Lu Yunxiao hesitated for a moment but then understood her intentions. Instead of concealing the truth, he softly replied, "I haven't joined any sect yet; I'm currently a wandering cultivator."

"Wandering cultivator?" woman's eyes brightened as she heard him. "Let me introduce you to a place. Would you be interested?"

"What place?" Lu Yunxiao inquired.

"The Misty Cloud Sect. I have a friend who is the sect master there. Misty Cloud Sect welcomes talents like you the most. They possess profound martial arts and techniques and are also presided over by the Sixth-Rank Pill Emperor, Guhe. If you join the Misty Cloud Sect, you will undoubtedly receive the best treatment," the woman said with a smile.

"A friend?" Lu Yunxiao's eyes twitched. 'You, standing right in front of me, aren't you the sect master?'

"Young brother, would you be interested?" The woman smiled and asked again.

Lu Yunxiao fell into a brief silence, his expression somewhat hesitant. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Sister, Is this your request?"
