You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 361 - 8, Three Major Strengths_2

...

The next morning.

"Qiuhe, did you sleep poorly last night?"

In the simple courtyard, Lin Yue sat opposite the Seventh Princess on a stone stool, casually swiped a piece of pastry from her, and while eating, he pretended to casually observe his slightly sullen sister.

There was no helping it, compared to her pastry, the dry ration he brought was simply too hard to swallow.

Qiuhe got even more used to calling out, really wanting to become a Prince Consort, huh... The Seventh Princess muttered in her heart, then shook her head and said, "Nothing much, just not used to sleeping after so long."

"Oh..." Lin Yue realized, "That's true, being a mortal is indeed unusual."

Even he, who had only been cultivating for six or seven years, felt somewhat uncomfortable suddenly returning to his mortal days, let alone the Seventh Princess.

No need to sleep, even if one's spirit was poor, one could simply meditate or cultivate.

It's like a person with insomnia being told to sleep early; even if they're tired, it's hard to fall asleep.

"What are your plans for today?"

The Seventh Princess asked, while internally weighing how she should bid farewell.

"Selling wolf skin and inquiring about the haunting matter," Lin Yue didn't hide it.

"Are you still thinking about that opportunity with the haunting?" The Seventh Princess frowned slightly and shook her head, "If you die in Beiyuan Mountain, you can't come back again."

"How many times can one enter?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"Twice."

The Seventh Princess didn't hide it from him, saying directly, "A cultivator at the Four Symbols Stage who spends over a thousand big money in Beiyuan Village and gets no guidance, yet has high talents, can receive a promise from the Village Chief to re-enter Beiyuan Mountain before reaching the Three Talents Sky Peak."

Lin Yue showed a look of realization.

Although he already knew this, for a common cultivator, this was a highly valuable secret.

Reaching Perfect in Three Talents Heaven Barrier involved understanding Heaven and Earth Law to its extreme, while the Three Talents Sky Peak was about mastering the embryonic form of the Dao.

Clearly, the biggest benefit of Beiyuan Mountain was to guide cultivators in mastering the embryonic form of the Dao.

"A thousand big money, that's quite a lot."

Lin Yue commented, "It might not be easy to earn that much here, right?"

"It's pretty hard."

The Seventh Princess said, "But your martial arts skills are decent, and your talent shouldn't be bad. Spending a year hunting should be enough to gather that sum. After you break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier and become a Great Cultivator, returning here would yield great benefits."

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, saying nothing.

After he went out, he was about to break the Three Talents Heaven Barrier and directly cultivate to the Perfect Level.

Coming back then could also be an option.

But actually, there was not much difference; still being a mortal, no matter how much he improved in martial arts, he couldn't use them here—it was just an extra year.

If something unintended happened during his next entry, that wouldn't be good.

So, if one could finish it all at once, it was better to do it in one go.

"Stop worrying about me; I know my limits."

Lin Yue gently shook his head and asked, "Qiuhe, what are your plans? Do you want to come hunting with me?"

Knowing my limits and still calling me Qiuhe all the time... The Seventh Princess muttered to herself internally, then said aloud, "No need. I've already arranged with the Village Chief to farm nearby this year. By then, besides the chance to receive guidance, I'll also have a chance to get all of Beiyuan Village's seeds."

"Seeds?" Lin Yue puzzled, "Just for some seeds?"

"You don't understand."

The Seventh Princess said, "Beiyuan Village might seem like just a mortal village, but those mundane things aren't necessarily mundane. Perhaps they're suppressed into ordinary things here, but once taken out, they might be Spirit Seeds of some Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots?"

"I see..." Lin Yue feigned realization.

"Of course, even if there are Spirit Seeds, they are probably few and far between."

The Seventh Princess shook her head slightly and said, "If it were just letting me choose, I wouldn't know which ones, but getting a share of all of them, there'd be no problem."

"You really do like farming," Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim.

"This Beiyuan Mountain definitely has Spirit Seeds that don't exist outside."

The Seventh Princess revealed a smile, "The Spirit Seeds I've been cultivating recently might increase the grain production of Great Yong by several times. Then, Great Yong could support more people, not only preventing famine but also increasing the number of cultivators when more mortals are around. Don't you think this is a great benefit to both the nation and the people?"

"Oh? That is indeed true." Lin Yue nodded slightly, deliberately bowing slightly, "I truly admire you."

"As you should."

The Seventh Princess clearly became happier, "This is much more useful than healing people. If the guidance I receive this time is even more suited to farming, even better."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "But such a path wouldn't have enough combat power, Your Highness? You're not vying for the throne?"

"Vying for the throne? I know I don't stand much of a chance, and even proving successful would be difficult," the Seventh Princess shook her head, "I'm like Fourth Brother, just wanting to protect myself, and tending my farm is enough."

Lin Yue laughed.

It was not bad for the Fourth and Seventh Princes, at least there was no fear of a fight to the death with them in the future.

It was only that he had not been crowned king yet; even the Twelfth Prince, who was at odds with him, could not target him directly, only exploiting loopholes around the rules, which allowed him to remain so at ease.

...

After breakfast, the Seventh Princess went to discuss farming matters with the Village Chief, while Lin Yue carried the wolf skin and Iron Embryo Bow to sell for money.

According to what the Village Chief had said, Lin Yue first went to Wang Pijiang the leatherworker to inquire about the price.

But the price Wang Pijiang offered for the wolf skin left him speechless.

"That's a rip-off," Lin Yue couldn't help but curse under his breath.
