You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chanjua Temple was once one of the Buddhist cultivation Holy Lands.

The reason it was once renowned is quite simple.

A so-called Holy Land sect is a cultivation sect with a Saint as its guardian.

The guidance of a Saint could profoundly inspire the sect's geniuses, allowing them to advance further, naturally flourishing.

But as the saying goes, a flower doesn't bloom for a hundred days. Even though a Harmonization Saint has incredible powers, their lifespan is ultimately limited. Unless they achieve Proving, their Dao Heart would eventually falter one day.

After the fall of a Saint, the Holy Land sect could no longer be regarded as a Holy Land.

And Chanjua Temple was a sect where a Saint once appeared.

Today, although it remained a top sect with several Great Cultivators, it hadn't birthed another Saint, and thus, could no longer be considered a Holy Land.

"Chanjua Temple, Qiu Zhi... so it's her..."

Lin Yue glanced sidelong at the Seventh Princess, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but marvel to himself, "The difference in appearance is quite significant."

Great Cultivators were already the senior figures of various sects, and he was familiar with most of them.

Qiu Zhi from Chanjua Temple was one of the most famous among them.

It wasn't that her cultivation was extraordinarily high or her Daoist prowess deep.

She only reached the Fifth Layer in the Tianxia Building. Her strength was decent but not exceptionally outstanding.

Qiu Zhi's fame was entirely due to her benevolence.

She was a healer who saved countless lives while representing Chanjua Temple across the world and even resolved a large-scale epidemic. Her folk tales were innumerable.

From cultivators to mortals, she treated anyone injured or sick without seeking reward when encountered.

So, despite not being a Saint, people lauded her as the 'Medical Saint.'

Though Chanjua Temple was not a Holy Land, it became famous because of the Medical Saint, and its reputation sometimes even surpassed many Holy Lands.

However, the legend said that the Medical Saint Qiu Zhi was very plain-looking, with somewhat dark skin, purely beautiful at heart.

Now it seemed likely that the Seventh Princess intentionally disguised herself to avoid trouble.

"Perhaps it was her experience in the mortal realm..."

Lin Yue pondered, speculating in his heart.

When Princes and Princesses reached the level of Great Cultivators, they had to conceal their identities and train in the mortal realm. This was not only to comprehend Heaven and Earth but also to temper their Dao Heart.

After all, even if their former lives were of Great Power, their identities had changed in this life. The new life experiences and perspectives required another period of tempering for their Dao Heart.

It was rumored that Qiu Zhi went through something later, returned severely injured to Chanjua Temple, and subsequently rarely appeared.

Now that the Seventh Princess only thought of farming, perhaps there was some connection?

"A healer? Farming?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but muse.

This was the Seventh Princess's Dao Heart in this life, her goal in cultivation.

Then...

What about himself?

"What am I cultivating for, aside from revenge?"

He silently watched the flames dancing in the campfire, gradually falling into deep thought.

...

The night passed peacefully.

The following morning.

Having not eaten properly for years, having breakfast early in the morning gave Lin Yue a long-lost fresh feeling.

After drinking some of the water boiled last night and eating some dry rations carried with him, he finally resolved his hunger.

The Seventh Princess also ate two and a half pieces of the pastries she brought, and begrudgingly gave half to Lin Yue for fetching water for her.

She didn't waste any food, surreptitiously licking the pastry crumbs from her fingertips clean without wasting a crumb.

"All right, let's move out after eating." The Seventh Princess stood up and said.

"Does Your Highness know where Beiyuan Village is?" Lin Yue asked.

"No, Beiyuan Village frequently changes its location." The Seventh Princess shook her head. "The last time I came was nearly twenty years ago."

"Then..." Lin Yue was taken aback.

"No worries, I have a way."

The Seventh Princess took out a light and thin veil, covering half her face, and casually explained, "We will eventually encounter bandits on our way. Once they see a beautiful woman, they'll try to capture her back to their lair."

Lin Yue scrutinized her, puzzled. "Merely covering your face this way seems ineffective. If I may be blunt, Your Highness, this half-concealment actually makes you more alluring."

As the saying goes, half-hiding the pipa creates mystery; the veil barely concealed anything. Even a blind man could tell she was an extraordinary beauty.

The beauty of the upper half of her face, coupled with the half-hidden lower face, actually made people more eager to see her whole face.

"I know, it's intentional."

The Seventh Princess nodded. "This way, it's easier for bandits to cause trouble. Even if we take action, as long as no one is killed, more bandits won't be attracted. Bandits generally carry money, so we can earn some extra while finding the lair and Beiyuan Village's location."

"..." Lin Yue was at a loss for words.

He wanted to ask, weren't you the reincarnation of a compassionate Bodhisattva?

Why are you now engaging in entrapment?

"I can understand the bandits knowing Beiyuan Village's location, but why does Your Highness want to find their lair?" Lin Yue didn't quite understand.

"I heard there's some opportunity in the lair, and it's no small opportunity." The Seventh Princess said, "If one has enough strength and is willing to give the bandits a large amount of money, they have a chance to receive the hidden opportunity from their side."

Lin Yue realized.

This point was new to him; the 'Strategy' he collected never mentioned it.

"Before we set off, carry this with you."

The Seventh Princess handed him a small sachet, which faintly emitted a medicinal scent.
