He might just be able to rely on it...

Four Directions Huixue thought to herself and momentarily halted her thoughts.

She glanced sideways at the two bodyguards beside her and confirmed Beichuan Si's query, "That's right, just as Beichuan Master mentioned, the place we are asking you to go is indeed related to the Yellow Springs."

After Four Directions Huixue said this, both Master Yutian and Master Onodera became a bit restless.

They of course had read the name 'Yellow Springs' in the scriptures of their temples, and the conclusion they had arrived at was quite straightforward.

Places related to the Yellow Springs were undoubtedly extremely perilous.

If the Four Directions Shrine of the Four Directions Family were indeed related to these places—

Master Onodera was the first to speak, "Miss Huiye, you just mentioned that the place we are going to is related to the Yellow Springs, right? But as far as I know, the places where the Yellow Springs are found are extremely dangerous. First, we need to guard against the erosion of the Yellow Springs' aura, and second, we also need to be cautious of the unknown entities that emerge from the Yellow Springs... I'm afraid my abilities might not be quite sufficient..."

Four Directions Huixue smiled and said, "Ten million yen is merely the initial reward for asking you to take action. If the reactivation of the Four Directions Shrine is successful, we will then transfer another ten million to your accounts."

Upon hearing this, Master Onodera chanted a Buddhist mantra, his expression solemn.

He looked as though he wanted to sternly reprimand Four Directions Huixue.

After all, if one's life was gone, what significance would money have?

However—

"May I ask where exactly is the Four Directions Shrine located within the two million?"

Master Onodera capitulated.

Sometimes, excessive money indeed enables one to act arbitrarily.

At least after Four Directions Huixue mentioned 'adding another million yen', Master Yutian, who initially intended to stand up alongside Master Onodera, firmly settled back down.

It couldn't be helped.

Master Onodera may not have known the situation, but Master Yutian's was quite dire.

With the number of temple visitors decreasing and no recent exorcism commissions, the school fees for the orphanage children might be hard to cover next year, so Master Yutian had to think of ways in this regard.

And twenty million yen was an amount he couldn't refuse.

As for the other side at Beichuan Si?

He actually didn't care much about the twenty million yen.

After all, the monthly funds for Beichuan Si were already sufficient, and with people like Shan Yuanmu and the Qiuxiao Conglomerate, as well as Nakajima Michika backing it, life couldn't possibly be too difficult.

At this point, getting the twenty million yen was merely icing on the cake.

The reason Beichuan Si decided to accompany them was merely to observe the exorcism techniques of Master Yutian and others.

Furthermore, since it possibly involved the 'Yellow Springs,' Beichuan Si certainly didn't want to miss it.

All three had various thoughts, but without exception, they all agreed to go to the Four Directions Shrine.

"Now that you all have agreed to come along, I can reveal more profound things to you."

Four Directions Huixue raised the Divine Mirror she was holding and gently spoke, "As mentioned before, this time's commission relates to the 'Yellow Springs.' The location of the Four Directions Family Shrine is near Tenkawa Village in Nara Prefecture, but it has some unique aspects..."

"Spiritual realm?" Beichuan Si added at this moment.

This prompted Four Directions Huixue to move her lips and then nod, "Exactly, the spiritual realm."

Beichuan Si seemed to know quite a bit, and she quickly understood things with just a mention.

"The so-called spiritual realm is essentially a place formed by the grudges of the deceased. It intermingles with the hidden world, usually inaccessible and untouched by ordinary people. However, these worlds, hidden from plain sight, occasionally appear at dusk during the 'occurrence of demons,' engulfing the living and causing disappearances. And the place we are heading to is precisely such a spiritual realm."

Just as Beichuan Si was aware of the concept of the spiritual realm, Four Directions Huixue did not plan to hide any details about it.

"I have a question," Master Onodera raised his hand.

Four Directions Huixue paused her speech and turned to him:

"Please go ahead."

"Just as you said, Miss Huiye, if the spiritual realm is imperceptible, untouchable, and even inaccessible...how are we supposed to enter it? We can't just wait for the 'occurrence of demons' at dusk, right? And even if we get inside, how are we to get out later?"

Master Onodera's words were logically clear.

After all, this was a life-risking job, and he seriously had to inquire about these fundamental issues.

It was unlikely that anyone among them could freely tear through the spiritual realm, could they?

Four Directions Huixue was clearly prepared for Master Onodera's question.

She picked up the circular mirror that had been resting on her lap, "This is a heirloom passed down in the Four Directions Family, called the Moon Obscuring Mirror. It has a direct connection to the Four Directions Shrine hidden within the spiritual realm. It will guide us into the spiritual realm and lead us out as well."

Four Directions Huixue gently stroked the frame of the Moon Obscuring Mirror, slowing her voice as she continued to explain, "The Moon Obscuring Mirror has been worshipped by the Four Directions Family for many years and has accumulated a lot of good will. This good will will guide us, open the Four Directions Shrine, and then lead us out of the spiritual realm. That's roughly the process."

This was a clear explanation, and Master Onodera, having no further questions, withdrew his hand.
