The abbot’s face, previously adorned with a benevolent smile, gradually lost its warmth as he looked towards the refined man before him in some astonishment.

To be honest, this matter was an unspoken truth among various forces, yet no one had ever dared to speak of it without any conflict of interest, let alone utter such words undermining the foundation of the Buddhist Sect in its own territory.

However, as a member of the Buddhist Sect, the abbot naturally possessed excellent composure. His face once again broke into a kind smile and he said, “Of course we do not coerce anyone. If one does not believe in the Buddha, we do not insist. Everyone has their choice.”

This statement was impeccable.

Ning Chenxin didn’t know where to find a breakthrough; the abbot gave away very little, except for the brief moment of astonishment.

However, it was this momentary astonishment that confirmed to Ning Chenxin the existence of certain issues within the Buddhist Sect.

If it were as Ning Chenxin had thought, that the Buddhist Sect was harming ordinary mortals in a blasphemous manner to harness their Faith Power.

This was something Ning Chenxin could not accept under any circumstances.

“Perhaps the donor should not accuse our Buddhist Sect. We act with integrity and would not stoop to such lowly actions,” the abbot said with his hands together. “If the donor has come for this matter, I believe you may leave the mountain now.”

No clues were to be found.

However, Ning Chenxin hadn’t come expecting to find any clues but to confirm whether the Buddhist Sect had indeed engaged in such blasphemous acts.

Now that he had his suspicions, there was no need to stay any longer, especially since no clues were to be found.

So, he stood up to bid farewell, “Sorry for the disturbance.”

The abbot also stood up and escorted Ning Chenxin to the door.

As Ning Chenxin stepped over the threshold, without turning back he asked, “If the Buddha exists merely for the sake of Faith Power and acts unscrupulously… then perhaps the Buddha need not exist at all.”

After saying this, he once again picked up his pace and departed from the temple.

The abbot, watching Ning Chenxin’s figure disappearing into the distance, had lost all traces of his benevolence! All that was left was a cold expression and a murderous look in his eyes.

“This person, he is a great menace.”

…

After leaving the temple, Ning Chenxin descended the mountain directly.

There wasn’t much to investigate on the mountain.

Since most of the followers of the Buddhist Sect were ordinary mortals, he decided to investigate some of the villages around the Sect.

With this thought, Ning Chenxin intentionally chose a village relatively far from the territory of the Buddhist Sect.

If it was too close, it was very likely all believers, making it difficult to uncover anything.

Only among those who still retained a sense of self could clues be found.

After passing through about ten villages, he finally stopped at the entrance of one marked with three characters.

Cold Soil Village.

It was a village on the edge of the territory of the Buddhist Sect.

Smaller in scale than the Temple of Blessing Village.

The people here didn’t farm; indeed, “Cold Soil” described the poor quality of the soil that was unsuitable for cultivation, so they raised some livestock to support themselves.

Ning Chenxin walked in.

The sporadic villagers who saw Ning Chenxin, dressed in white, were momentarily stunned, their eyes filled with either wariness or curiosity.

Looking around.

Expanding his senses, he noted that most of the houses still had a small statue of the Buddha.

At that moment, an old man, bent over with a cane, approached Ning Chenxin and asked, “This… Immortal Master, may I ask what brings you to our Cold Soil Village?”

Ning Chenxin shook his head slightly and smiled, “I just want to ask about some matters.”

The village chief was slightly taken aback, “What would the Immortal Master like to ask?”

Ning Chenxin looked around and saw a bronze-skinned youth feeding chickens. He then walked over to him without another word.

It seemed Ning Chenxin had been noticed, as the young boy looked over, but only glanced once before turning his head again.

Seeing this, Ning Chenxin also noticed the other villagers’ disdainful glances towards the boy, and then asked, “What’s your name?”

The boy did not respond.

“Then why don’t you get along with the other villagers?”

The boy’s expression tightened, and he continued scattering feed, watching the pecking chickens but still not speaking.

Ning Chenxin decided to take a stronger approach, and so he said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Is it because of the Buddhist Sect?”

The boy then looked towards Ning Chenxin, his mouth slightly open, but he didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

Ning Chenxin smiled, “Then why do the other villagers believe and you do not?”

For the first time, the boy spoke, his voice somber, “What’s the use of believing in Buddha, can it improve this barren land?”

Ning Chenxin shook his head, “It cannot…”

“Isn’t that right?”

“But I can.” Ning Chenxin smiled, and with a flip of his palm, the soil of the entire village was enveloped in a white halo.

He infused his own power into it, filling the lifeless soil with vitality.

The other villagers, seeing this scene, immediately broke into joyful laughter.

They knelt before Ning Chenxin.

“Thank you, Immortal Master, thank you, Immortal Master!”

“The Immortal Master must be sent by the Buddhist Sect to save our barren village.”

“Praying every day does have an effect!”

The boy was somewhat dumbfounded and then asked, “Are you from the Buddhist protectors?”

“No.” Ning Chenxin shook his head, smiling, “Now that I’ve helped you, will you answer my question?”

The boy hesitated for a moment but nodded, “Then come to my house.”

After speaking, he led Ning Chenxin into a small house built of stones.

The boy moved a rickety chair in front of Ning Chenxin and after Ning Chenxin sat down, observing his surroundings that contained nothing related to Buddhism, he asked, “It seems everyone here is a follower of the Buddhist Sect, what about you?”

“I am not, but they often try to persuade us to believe in Buddha.”

“Then do you know why they are so obsessed with the Buddhist Sect?” Ning Chenxin wondered, “This couldn’t have just happened suddenly, right?”

The boy nodded, “I’m not very clear about the specifics, I only know that my grandfather once told me, originally a bald monk came to the barren village, taught some things, and at that time, most of the people in the village began to believe in Buddha.”

Teach things?

Just as Ning Chenxin had not yet figured anything out.

There was the sound of a large bell from outside.

Ning Chenxin was just about to go out and see what was happening, but the boy held him back, saying, “Don’t go out, this time is when the village collectively chants scriptures and worships Buddha.”

Collectively chants scriptures and worships Buddha?

Ning Chenxin frowned slightly.

Even such remote areas had become so fervent?

This situation was a bit too abnormal.

Ning Chenxin didn’t go out, but he watched the situation outside through his perception.

He saw at the entrance of the barren village, a Great Buddha statue as tall as a man where the village chief, leading by example, sat cross-legged on a straw mat chanting scriptures, then bowed his head.

Strands of Faith Power flew out from the top of their heads, flowing into the Great Buddha statue…
