The middle-aged ugly man hurriedly said, “I understand. Only someone like me would be interested in this lousy bear. It’s really too degrading for someone of your status to use bear skin. Only something like dragon scales are worthy.”

Zeng Jing thought to himself: If you wear clothes made of dragon scales, won’t you look like a fish? What’s wrong with your aesthetic sense? Your Handsome Sect is a sect that makes people uglier, right? It’s impossible to become handsome.

A group of people from the Handsome Sect began to operate the bear demon. They excitedly peeled off the bear skin. One of the gang members scraped out the bear gallbladder and wrapped it in oil paper. He held it in front of the middle-aged ugly man with both hands. “Sect Master, how should we deal with this bear demon gallbladder?”

The ugly middle-aged man said, “Consuming this gallbladder will only help one build their Foundation Establishment. Even the weakest disciples of our Handsome Sect have already built their Foundation Establishment. It’s useless. It can only be used to make Bear Gallbladder Fritillary Bulb Loquat Throat Soothing Compounds.”

“Eh?” Zeng Jing asked curiously, “Can this thing allow people to build their Foundation Establishment?”

“Yes!” The ugly middle-aged man said, “After consuming it, it can instantly open up the conception and governor vessels. However… my little friend definitely won’t like this lousy piece of sh*t.”

Zeng Jing said, “Wait! I like this one.”

“Eh?” The ugly middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he understood. “Little friend, you like Bear Gallbladder Fritillary Bulb Loquat Throat Soothing Compounds?”

“Like hell I like to eat that!”

The middle-aged ugly man thought about it seriously and came to a realization. “There are still outer sect disciples in your sect who haven’t reached the Foundation Establishment realm?”

The Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect had already been destroyed, so there were naturally no outer sect disciples who had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, Zeng Jing had told Bai Yan several times that he had built his Foundation Establishment to Bai Yan’s disbelief. He could not possibly use a punch to send a mountain flying to show it to her either, which meant he was in a very awkward situation. Nonetheless, Bai Yan would definitely believe him if he obtained a bear demon gallbladder and swallowed it in front of her. He could use it as a reason for building his Foundation Establishment. Then, he could logically ask her to teach him the true Sword Control Art. Wouldn’t that be a happy ending?

Zeng Jing said to the middle-aged man, “That’s right. There’s a useless disciple in my sect who has yet to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. If he can’t reach the Foundation Establishment realm, he won’t be able to start cultivating. Everyone looks down on him. It’s not good. Since this bear demon gallbladder can allow someone to reach the Foundation Establishment realm, I’ll bring it back and let him consume it so that he can improve.”

The middle-aged ugly man quickly handed over the bear demon gallbladder with both hands.

Zeng Jing did not stand on ceremony. He took the bear gallbladder and put it away. The middle-aged ugly man bowed to him. “Before I went on this trip, I did a divination. The divination pointed to this trip as auspicious. It said that even though my trip was dangerous, I would definitely be able to turn misfortune into fortune with the help of a benefactor. It turns out that the benefactor in my divination was you, little friend. I’ll remember your help today. If you need any help in the future, you only need to write a letter, and the Handsome Sect will definitely help you.”

Zeng Jing smiled and said, “There’s no need to be so polite! I still have two senior sisters searching for the Mind-Clearing Grass in this valley. I have to go and meet them. We’ll meet again someday. I’ll take my leave today.”

The middle-aged ugly man was shocked and thought to himself, He actually has two senior sisters nearby. Since their seniority is higher than his, their cultivation must be deeper than his. They must be terrifying. This valley has hidden talents, I’d better hurry up and leave.

Zeng Jing headed in the direction where he had separated from Bai Yan and the others. The ugly middle-aged man and the others quickly picked up their artifacts and left in a hurry. They had flown over on their artifacts when they came, but after the battle with the bear demon, almost everyone’s artifacts had been destroyed. They had to refine them again after returning to the sect.

Without a Dharma treasure, they would not be able to fly. Therefore, this large group of people could only use qinggong to run on the ground.

At this moment, Bai Yan and the Loli Sect Master were still searching for Zeng Jing in the valley. They searched high and low for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, the two of them felt that the cold air that filled the valley had disappeared. In other words, the demon beasts had been eliminated.

The two of them felt the pressure ease. Before they could rejoice, they saw another large group of people running over.

The two women gripped their swords warily. Then they saw a large group of extremely ugly men in black. The leader was a middle-aged ugly man. The moment he saw the two women, he stiffened visibly. Then the middle-aged ugly man bowed to them. With a very polite look, he pointed in a direction in the valley. “Little friends, the Mind-Clearing Grass you’re looking for is in this direction. I saw it just now. Oh, by the way, your Junior Brother is also in this direction.”

The two women were overjoyed and hurriedly cupped their hands in return. “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

The ugly middle-aged man said, “I don’t deserve to be called Senior. Just call me Uncle. If you need any help in the future, just tell me.”

With that, the ugly middle-aged man ran away with his subordinates.

He really didn’t want to stay long in the valley where the three old demons were. The mood of these old demons was unpredictable. They could be laughing with him in one moment and killing him with a backhand in the next. They didn’t even need a reason. They had to run faster.

The two women looked in the direction where the ugly middle-aged man had disappeared with extremely strange expressions. After a few seconds, the Loli Sect Master said, “Was that someone from the Handsome Sect?”

Bai Yan nodded. “I heard that the entire Handsome Sect is filled with extremely ugly men. It’s really a fact now that I’ve seen them.”

The Loli Sect Master said, “I saw a person carrying a roll of bear skin on his shoulder. It seems that they killed that demonic bear.”

Bai Yan said, “Now that the divination is finally clear, we should have encountered a bear demon on this trip. It was dangerous, but because we had the help of a benefactor from the Handsome Sect, we turned misfortune into luck.”

The Loli Sect Master said, “Senior Sister’s divination skills are really amazing. If only I could do this too. Unfortunately, the Master asked me to abandon all miscellaneous knowledge and focus on cultivation.”

Bai Yan said, “You’re a genius with unlimited potential. You really shouldn’t spend your time on these miscellaneous things. You should work hard to cultivate so that you can revitalize the Sword Sect in the future. This is the Master’s will and your responsibility.”

As the two of them spoke, they walked in the direction pointed out by the middle-aged ugly man. Not long after, they encountered Zeng Jing. Moreover, they saw several stalks of Mind-Clearing Grass by the roadside.

The two girls were overjoyed. “That’s great! We found both Junior Brother and the Mind-Clearing Grass.

Zeng Jing took out the bear demon gallbladder wrapped in oil paper and waved it at the two women. He smiled and said, “Senior Sister, Sect Master, look what I got.”

Bai Yan took a look and was shocked. “Bear gallbladder? Oh, no! This is not an ordinary bear gallbladder. It has so much spiritual energy. It seems to be the gallbladder of the bear demon that the Handsome Sect killed just now. This… This is a good thing that can allow ordinary people to directly build their Foundation Establishment. Junior Brother, how did you get it?”

Zeng Jing said, “Just now, a group of ugly black-clothed people passed by me. Among them was a middle-aged man who seemed to be the sect master or something. He said that even the weakest disciples in their sect had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm so they had no use for it, so he casually gave it to me.”
