The carriage traveled through the night without stopping, finally arriving at the foot of Nanshan Temple the following morning.
Because Nanshan Temple was built on a high mountain peak, the carriage could go no further. To enter the temple, one had to climb step by step. Due to the rugged mountain path, ordinary people required a full day and night to reach the top. Even those skilled in martial arts, while faster, would expend a tremendous amount of energy, typically reaching the temple in a state of exhaustion.
It was precisely because of this that very few people were willing to make the climb. For Master Mingjing, who no longer wished to practice medicine or save lives, the temple remained pleasantly tranquil.
