Chapter 8: The Benefactor Arrives

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The valley was quiet and shaded.

A chill seeped into their hearts the moment they entered.

Cultivators were usually unafraid of the cold. Moreover, the higher one’s cultivation was, the stronger their tolerance to the cold.

For example, Bai Yan, who was at the elementary of the Core Formation realm, had a temperature tolerance range of negative 90 to positive 150 degrees. As for Yuan Yingjie, who was at the late-stage of intermediate Qi Refinement realm, she could also endure a temperature range of negative 60 to positive 120 degrees.

Therefore, in theory, they shouldn’t feel the chill unless the chill didn’t come from the temperature but something else.

Bai Yan said in a low voice, “There are indeed demon beasts staying here! Moreover, they are of water-attribute so there is a very strong, cold air.”

The Loli Sect Master hugged her waist from behind.

Zeng Jing was speechless.

Bai Yan looked worriedly at the Loli Sect Master behind her. Then, she looked at Zeng Jing with an even more worried gaze and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we go out and look for the Mind-Clearing Grass in another valley? It’s the same.”

“There… there… there’s no need. The spiritual energy here is dense, and the chances of finding the Mind-Clearing Grass are higher. If we don’t find it in another valley, we’ll still have to come back here. We might as well continue searching.” The Loli Sect Master stammered, “I’m super brave, so I’m not afraid.”

Brave my ass. Aren’t you just a timid child? Zeng Jing thought inwardly.

Naturally, he couldn’t say this out loud. Dissing his Sect Master wasn’t something a shrewd outer sect disciple would do. He could only say that he hadn’t seen anything.

Bai Yan was still a little worried, but she could only continue forward when she saw her junior sister’s stubborn look. In any case, there were demon beasts entrenched here, but it didn’t mean that the three of them would encounter them. Moreover, the three of them might not necessarily lose to the demon beasts.

It wouldn’t be a good thing if they were afraid of everything and didn’t advance.

That would affect one’s mental state and thus affect one’s cultivation. In the end, it would be difficult to see through the Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, the most important thing was that the results of divination for this trip was “auspicious”. There might be danger but there would be help from a benefactor, so there was nothing to worry about.

“Alright, let’s continue moving forward then.” Bai Yan said.

She walked carefully at the front, holding both swords in her hands. The Loli Sect Master followed closely behind her, also holding a sword tightly in her hands.

The two women’s nervous looks tickled Zeng Jing but he couldn’t laugh. He had to hold it in. Those who mocked girls for being timid would be single forever.

Not long after the three of them entered the valley!

A group of people suddenly flew over from the sky. These people were dressed in black and wore tall crowns. They were stepping on various flying treasures and looked very impressive. The person in the lead looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, but in reality, he was an old cultivator with a cultivation base of over 200 years and was at advanced Golden Core Realm.

The magic treasure he used to fly was a black folding fan. Once his feet touched the ground, the fan immediately flew into his palm and swung away with a whoosh. On the fan, there was a huge word “Handsome” written on it. He fanned himself pretentiously and snorted. “This is the place?”

A subordinate at the side stepped forward and bowed respectfully. “Sect Master, this is the valley. That Mystic Ice Bear Demon has been here for several days, and many cultivators have seen it appear here. It’s just that it’s powerful and ferocious, and ordinary cultivators don’t dare to challenge it. Moreover, they won’t be able to obtain any extraordinary treasures from it. At the very most, they would obtain a Mystic Ice Bear Gall that can help outer sect disciples build their foundation. The risk and benefits aren’t proportional, so high-level cultivators didn’t bother with it. Low-level cultivators couldn’t deal with it, so it stayed here happily for some time.”

The Sect Master kept his fan with a single fell swoop. “Oh! Is its fur really as beautiful as the legends say?”

The subordinate bowed and said, “That’s right. This bear demon’s fur is good-looking, but cultivators are generally not interested in things that are useless. Only our Handsome Sect will painstakingly search for such things.”

A look of joy appeared on the Sect Master’s face. “Very good. I want to use its fur to make a coat. This way, I’ll be even more handsome. Those beautiful female warriors on the streets will definitely like me.”

A group of subordinates at the side bowed in unison. “Lord Sect Master is the most handsome in the world. You’re invincible and explosively handsome. You’re so handsome that your beauty can shake the heavens and earth, and dim the glory of the sun and moon. We can’t even compare to one ten-thousandth of our Lord Sect Master.”

The Sect Master laughed complacently. The group of subordinates behind him were all so ugly that they couldn’t be seen by others. They belonged to the type that would scare little girls when they went on the streets. Naturally, they couldn’t compare to him.

The world-famous “Handsome Sect” only accepted extremely ugly disciples. They wouldn’t accept anyone who was slightly good-looking. Apparently it was because they didn’t want to hurt the sect master’s pride. This was because the Sect Master’s appearance was really… ahem…

The Sect Master flicked his fan and wrote the word “handsome” with it. He then smiled and said, “Everyone, let’s go into the valley and kill that bear demon to make a bear fur coat.”

“Sect Master, I heard that the bear demon is very powerful… Can we defeat it?”

The Sect Master snorted. “I did a divination on the way here. This divination is a blessing in disguise. Even though there are dangers, we will definitely be able to turn misfortune into fortune with the help of a benefactor. Don’t be afraid, let’s go.”

His subordinates roared in unison, “Let’s go! Become more handsome! Let’s go! Become more handsome!”

At the same time, Bai Yan, Loli Sect Master and Zeng Jing were in the depths of the valley, searching for herbs as they walked.

Bai Yan raised his head and frowned. “There are other cultivators here, and there are quite a few of them. They are flying over on their weapons at the entrance of the valley, and their cultivation isn’t low either.”

The Loli Sect Master clapped her hands and said, “Alright, alright. It seems that our benefactor has arrived. We can be at ease now.”

Eh? Someone really came? I thought that I was the benefactor who would be here to help them. Could it be someone else? Zeng Jing thought.

No matter, at the end of the day, it was hard to say if the divination was accurate or not. He was of a new generation who grew up under the red flag1 and didn’t believe in divination. However, this world was a cultivation world and there were indeed immortals here. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to believe in divination here, right?

He was thinking about random things when Bai Yan, who was in front, suddenly frowned. Then, a strange cry rang out from the grass by the side of the road. A shadow pounced toward Bai Yan. Before the shadow arrived, a cold aura pounced in front of them first.

The Loli Sect Master screamed, “Aiyo, a demon beast!”

Bai Yan’s nervous expression relaxed slightly. She then sheathed the sword in her left hand back into the sheath on her back and reached out to grab the black shadow. The black shadow let out a squeak and was caught in her hand, struggling and twisting.

Everyone took a closer look. It was a Snow Ferret!

The Loli Sect Master heaved a sigh of relief. “I was wondering what kind of monster it was, but it’s just a ferret.”

Bai Yan threw the ferret into the grass. It squeaked twice and fled quickly.

Zeng Jing teased from behind, “Aren’t you going to make it into a ferret fur scarf? Senior Sister is quite kind.”

Bai Yan shook her head. “The word ‘kind’ is too much of a praise! It’s because I’ve embarked on the path of cultivation that I try my best to avoid killing.”

Zeng Jing asked, “For your mental state?”

Bai Yan replied, “That’s not the case. Killing doesn’t necessarily affect one’s mental state. However, killing will accumulate ‘Heavenly Tribulation’. Every time you do something that goes against the Heavenly Dao, the heavens will record it as a ‘Heavenly Tribulation’. Usually, it doesn’t matter, but when you need to transcend the lightning tribulation, the more heavenly punishment you owe, the greater the tribulation clouds above your head will be. The might of the lightning tribulation will also increase. In other words, there is nothing wrong with killing but it’s better not to kill.”
