"Haha, the Princess is smart, so her comprehension is naturally excellent, even better than me." Zhao Zhenghe smiled.
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Then you don't have to worry. The Princess can live longer than you."
"I hope so!" Zhao Zhenghe laughed.
Princess Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't want to live that long. It's best to walk in front of you, so I don't have to suffer alone."
Zhao Zhenghe smiled and shook his head.
"Amitabha!" The six monks put their palms together and looked at Chu Li in confusion, "Master Ding Ru, although Buddhism has the method of praying for luck to prolong life, it's very difficult to complete the cultivation."
Buddhism's method of praying for luck had always been unpredictable, seemingly real and illusory, so it was only a psychological comfort. It was better than nothing and could not be counted on. Otherwise, the Princess wouldn't have died.
Chu Li said, "The method exists but it's difficult to cultivate, and it depends on fate and luck. The Princess has a deep sense of kindness and virtue, so there's hope to cultivate it."
"Then …" The six monks thought about it and closed their mouths.
They wanted to know the mystery behind it, but they also knew that this was a unique secret technique that could not be passed on to outsiders. It was used to expand the number of believers, strengthen the faith of the believers, and promote the doctrine of Buddhism.
"Your Highness, I will leave now. I will come back tomorrow." Chu Li stood up.
"Master is leaving?" Zhao Zhenghe was startled, then shook his head, "That won't do. Why don't you stay in my residence? It'll be more convenient for you to teach the Princess."
Princess Zhuang Yuerong nodded lightly, "I don't deserve to trouble Master to run around."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Zhenghe nodded quickly.
Chu Li pondered and slowly nodded, "Alright, then send someone back to my residence to talk about it."
"Of course." Zhao Zhenghe laughed, "Master can stay in peace. Staying in my residence, at least it'll be quiet. Not everyone can come and disturb you."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He had considered this before he happily stayed in the Imperial Residence.
If he really lived there, all the high officials and nobles in the city would be able to find out and find him. It would be fine if he went to one house at a time, but if there were several houses at the same time, it would be troublesome to go to one house or not.

Everyone left, leaving only Chu Li and Zhuang Yuerong in the backyard.
The two of them arrived at the small pavilion on the lake. A cool breeze blew gently, and a bright moon hung diagonally in the sky, sprinkling down its clear splendor.
Chu Li looked at the sparkling surface of the lake and said slowly, "Yuerong, do you want to cultivate the Technique of Entering the World or the Technique of Leaving the World?"
He saw that Consort Zhuang Yuerong was truly sincere in wanting to be his disciple, so he no longer saw her as a Consort. Moreover, he had experienced everything in the Lower Realm, so he did not have much respect for Consort, Wang Ye, or even the Emperor.
If anyone else had done this, they would have been enraged. However, as a Divine Monk, Chu Li's actions had caused them to gasp in admiration. They felt that he was truly virtuous and could really achieve equality for all living beings in Buddhism.
"Master, what is the method of entering the world, and what is the method of leaving the world?" Zhuang Yuerong asked.
She stood in the pavilion under the moonlight, her light purple palace dress fluttering in the wind, giving her an otherworldly appearance.
Chu Li said, "The method of entering the world is about a unique heart technique, combined with doing good deeds to accumulate merit and extend one's lifespan. The method of leaving the world focuses on the cultivation of Buddhism, giving up everything and ignoring the mundane affairs."
He continued, "The two methods are equally matched, and it doesn't matter which method is better. It depends on each person's will, and they must choose according to their heart. Otherwise, the cultivation will inevitably be half the result with twice the effort."
"Yes." Zhuang Yuerong nodded lightly.
She looked up at the bright moon, lost in thought.
Chu Li remained silent and did not disturb her.
Zhuang Yuerong's eyes gradually lost focus, and she was lost in her memories.
After a while, her eyes gradually regained clarity, and she sighed softly, "Master, I've thought it through."
Chu Li looked at her.
Zhuang Yuerong said, "I want to cultivate the Technique of Entering the World, so I can't leave the world."
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Alright, as long as you follow your heart, entering or leaving the world is the same."
"Entering the world can also help you become a Buddha?" Zhuang Yuerong asked.
Chu Li said, "The cultivation of Buddhism, firstly, is to comprehend the principles of Buddhism, and secondly, to cultivate merit. Only by combining both can one hope to achieve perfection, and neither is dispensable."
