Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Leave the horse pen.

Chen Fan returned to the house.

Feeling a little nervous, he smiled and walked to the bronze mirror to take off his hat.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, half of his hair was white and the other half was black, and Chen Fan's lips curled up in a smile.

After drinking the spiritual water for half a year, his body, appearance, and hair were all rejuvenated.

As a result, Chen Fan has had to wear old-age makeup recently to prevent Xiao Dengzi from noticing that he has become younger.

After all, he's already eighty years old. If someone suddenly discovers that he's become young again, there might be trouble ahead.

Feeling a pang of emotion, Chen Fan began to remove his makeup with his hands.

After he wiped the rouge and powder off his face, a handsome and extraordinary face appeared in the mirror.

I have to say, I was quite good-looking when I was young. I just don't know why the original owner of this body couldn't understand why she became a eunuch.

Feeling somewhat frustrated, Chen Fan sighed and got up to take out a set of clothes that ordinary people wore from the closet and changed into them.

After putting on the hat, he suddenly looked like a young man in the mirror.

If he were walking down the street, probably no one would guess that he was a eunuch.

Chen Fan smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

After dressing properly, he quietly left the Imperial Stables...

……

In front of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City of Dayuan.

When the news spread that the Immortal Master of Changchun Sect was selecting disciples, many people came from far and wide, gathering together.

To demonstrate his respect for the Changchun Sect, the new emperor specially dispatched the Imperial Guards to maintain order.

A platform was specially set up in front of the Meridian Gate for testing.

With the crowds so dense, it quickly became noon.

Under the blazing sun, the crowd was filled with unpleasant odors such as sweat, foot odor, and body odor.

Even so, it could not dispel the desire in everyone's hearts to become disciples of the Changchun Sect.

"Have you heard... Changchun Sect is going to select three disciples this time... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Last year, only Princess Yuanping was chosen. I wonder who will be so lucky this year. If they become disciples of the immortal sect, their status will be on par with members of the royal family, right?"

"It's not that easy; you need spiritual roots... Many ministers brought their children this time!"

"What's there to be afraid of! Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? The Changchun Sect doesn't consider social status when accepting disciples, I'm just like them!"

……

In the crowded throng.

Chen Fan waited expressionlessly.

Looking at the high platform surrounded by the Imperial Guards, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

You should know that he hasn't seen this immortal master even once since he entered the palace.

Sometimes Chen Fan would secretly want to see what the other person looked like.

But he also felt that his cultivation level was too low, and if he were discovered, he would be finished.

After a while, Chen Fan could only wait for the immortal master to show himself.

"The Immortal Master has arrived..."

As Chen Fan was lost in thought, a powerful voice came from behind the platform.

Immediately afterwards, Tie Lin, the tall and imposing commander of the Imperial Guards, dressed in golden armor, led a group of people out.

With a blank expression, he looked around once, then parted to the left and right to make way.

There it was on that road.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary face, medium build, and wearing a white robe came out.

With a cold gaze, he merely glanced around, and the audience fell silent instantly!

That was an invisible pressure!

Chen Fan sensed it immediately.

Although he had already entered the Innate Realm, that instant felt like falling into an ice cave, sending chills down one's spine!

"So this is... the Qi Refining Realm...?"

Chen Fan swallowed hard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality are completely different worlds!

The strongest martial artist can reach the Innate Realm and live to be one hundred years old.

There are no limits to cultivating immortality, nor to lifespan.

In the eyes of cultivators, martial arts practitioners are nothing more than grasshoppers who are slightly stronger than ordinary mortals!

If they wanted to kill these people, a single glance from them would be enough!

This is why many people yearn to cultivate immortality!

However, the path of cultivating immortality is a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than practicing martial arts.

It is extremely rare for one person out of ten thousand to possess the spiritual root for cultivating immortality.

Not to mention having the spiritual root for cultivation, which only means having the qualification to cultivate immortality.

To become a powerful cultivator, one still needs to put in countless efforts.

Chen Fan shook his head inwardly, his thoughts swirling, his gaze occasionally drifting to the Changchun Sect Immortal Master.

After stepping onto the stage, this person took out a three-zhang-tall stone tablet from a bag at his waist.

There are no inscriptions on the stele, only some mysterious patterns covering it.

Chen Fan had heard Eunuch Wei mention it before.

It is said that the bag at the immortal master's waist is called the Qiankun Bag, which is used specifically for storing things.

In cultivation sects, every immortal master has one, which is also a symbol of status.

As for this stele, it should be the test stele that Eunuch Wei mentioned.

There is a similar stele in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

However, that was used to test one's martial arts foundation.

It is completely different from the stele used to test one's spiritual roots for cultivating immortality.

"Today, the Changchun Sect is selecting disciples. Anyone with spiritual roots can join our sect. You only need to place your hands on the stone tablet. If the tablet glows, it means you have spiritual roots for cultivation. The brighter the tablet, the better the spiritual roots, and vice versa... Let's begin!"

At this moment, the Immortal Master of Changchun Sect spoke.

His announcement of the test rules immediately caused a stir among the crowd!

Upon seeing this, Tie Lin, the commander of the Imperial Guards standing below the platform, immediately roared angrily:

"Line up, everyone! Now! Immediately!"

The crowd quickly formed three long queues.

Upon seeing this, the immortal master of the Changchun Sect on the stage also stepped aside to wait.

The first person to step onto the stage was a richly dressed, fat-headed young master.

With a grin on his face, he nodded to the immortal master and then placed his hand on the stone tablet.

As time passed, there was still no movement on the monument.

This startled the young master, whose face turned red as he said:

"Why isn't it bright... My dad said I have the potential of an immortal..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

This young master was dragged away by two Imperial Guards.

The second woman to come up was a woman with a beautiful face, full breasts, and a curvy bottom.

As she swayed her hips as she walked onto the stage, she didn't forget to wink at the fairy master.

However, the immortal master frowned and showed a hint of disdain on his face.

The woman was taken aback, and could only blush as she walked to the stone tablet to test it.

Like that young master, she had no light at all.

Unconvinced, she stomped her foot and then wobbled off the stage.

This made Chen Fan, who was watching from below the stage, feel a pang of sadness.

I thought to myself that practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality are indeed different; the choice is too difficult!

Chen Fan could tell at a glance that the two who just went up were both at the Iron Skin Realm, and were not the kind of people who were just there to make up the numbers and join in the fun.

Even so, the stone tablet remained completely still.

Seeing this, Chen Fan, who was standing at the back of the line, could only observe in secret.

Soon, as time passed.

Nearly a hundred more people were eliminated directly.

They didn't get a single ray of light, and their faces were black as they left the stage.

It wasn't until a young man went on stage that a sliver of white light appeared on the stone tablet!

Overjoyed, he exclaimed:

"We've succeeded... We can go to the Changchun Sect to cultivate immortality!"
