Of course, Liu Yufang no longer cared what others thought or said about him—he was about to die, and he even eschewed silver, so why would he care about their opinions?
After dispersing all his family wealth, Liu Yufang hastened to Emei Mountain without a moment's delay to "seek a master and learn the Dao."
You might find it strange that a man like Liu Yufang could successfully become a disciple, given that Emei is the foremost among the mountains near Shu Mountain.
Then I must say, the bigger a sect or organization grows, the easier it becomes to inadvertently admit those who should not be accepted.
Though Liu Yufang had committed numerous misdeeds in the first half of his life, when he ascended Emei, his heart was truly sincere, and he had indeed devoted all his vast family fortune to good deeds, appearing to have had a profound enlightenment, as if he could attain Buddhahood instantly.
Given his state at that time, it was not surprising he could blend into the mountain.
