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

But in the blink of an eye...

The Imperial Guards immediately felt a fierce aura emanating from them!

His expression changed drastically after his cultivation had only reached the Acquired Realm!

Upon closer inspection, the aura actually came from the old eunuch in front of him!

He instinctively tried to draw his sword, but it was too late!

Chen Fan's eyes were like torches, and he raised his hand and slapped her across the face!

Before the Imperial Guard could react, he was stunned, fainted instantly, and then vanished into thin air!

"Who are you calling a dead eunuch... you stinking Imperial Guard..."

After beating the man, Chen Fan clapped his hands and left as if nothing had happened.

On the way back.

He also made a side trip to the Imperial Hospital.

After collecting some medicinal herbs suitable for crafting puppets, Chen Fan quietly left…

……

Early the next morning.

The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).

After opening his eyes, Chen Fan exhaled a breath of stale air, then got up, dressed, and went out.

Squeak...

I pushed open the door and looked up to see the sky turning white; it was going to be another beautiful day.

Chen Fan, who was squinting, coughed.

They followed him step by step toward the kitchen.

Now the horse stables are watched over by Xiaodun, so he no longer needs to keep an eye on them.

"Godfather, you're here..."

In the kitchen, a small stool is used to heat water over a fire.

As the weather gets cooler, the imperial horses will need to drink warm water.

Chen Fan, unfazed, nodded.

He habitually sits on a stool to warm himself by the fire.

Xiao Deng also came over to massage his shoulders and back, saying:

"Godfather, something happened in the palace last night. I heard that a member of the Imperial Guard went missing, and they've been searching all morning but haven't found him..."

"It's most likely an assassin," Chen Fan said in a hoarse voice.

"It's like this every winter; as soon as it gets cold, these assassins start causing trouble!"

"Godfather is right," Little Stool nodded.

"That's what we think too... Godfather, have some hot water..."

Afterwards, Chen Fan and Xiao Dengzi chatted for a while longer.

The father and son chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Chen Fan, who still had things to do, warmed his hands by the hand warmer and then got up to leave.

On the way back to the house.

Chen Fan's divine sense also detected several Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) at the Acquired Realm passing by.

Judging from their anxious expressions, they seem to be looking for someone.

He smiled calmly, squinted, and went back into the house.

Meow…

Little Flower is sleeping on the table.

Upon seeing the old eunuch return, it habitually went up to him and begged for food.

"Greedy cat..." Chen Fan chuckled, stroking the cat's head as he said:

"All you do is eat... When will you ever get any smarter...?"

Meow…

Little Flower, who could understand human speech, glanced at the eunuch and rubbed against his face again.

It really liked its smooth skin.

"Here, have some..."

Chen Fan, who loves cats, sighed and then tossed a radish over.

He turned around and came to the bronze mirror again.

It was faintly visible in the mirror that Chen Fan's skin was aged and his hair was gray.

But only he knew in his heart that it was all a disguise, and once it was torn away, it would be a completely different story.

"She looks so young..."

Chen Fan touched his face and then returned to the table.

This time, instead of pouring water into the golden bowl, he took out a few leaves from his pocket.

These leaves are medicinal materials used by the Imperial Medical Academy.

Since Chen Fan had run out of spirit stones, eating only radishes seemed too monotonous.

He thought of brewing some medicinal herbs to improve his life.

After pouring in water.

The withered leaves and medicinal herbs in the bowl have turned into green leaves.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan's lips curled up, and he picked up the golden bowl and drank six large bowls of water in succession.

He also ate two radishes, which finally filled his stomach!

As the spiritual energy within his body began to surge, Chen Fan began to meditate and cultivate!

As he circulated his Qi throughout the world, his cultivation level slowly increased.

About an hour has passed.

Chen Fan opened his eyes.

After finishing his daily training, he vanished into thin air in a flash.

A world within a bowl.

Ground.

Jidaozi finally stopped laughing.

He laughed for three days and three nights straight, and his noodles even cramped up from laughing!

Jidoko, who had gotten up early to work, now had no expression on his face.

This made Eunuch Wei, who was working with him, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"We still advise you to smile..."

Upon hearing this...

Jidaozi frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Eunuch Wei smiled slightly.

He glanced at Jidaozi and teased:

"Given your father-in-law's temper, if you stop smiling, it means you've recovered, and then you'll probably be waiting for new pills! You know that horse, right? That fellow has taken them several times already. It used to be so fat and chubby, look at it now..."

hiss…

Jidaozi was stunned for a moment, then gasped.

Feeling that what Eunuch Wei said made sense, he nodded and said:

"You're right... but my face is all twisted from smiling... how can I still smile..."

Eunuch Wei shrugged, indicating that he was unable to help.

As the two were talking, a commotion came from afar.

Chen Fan appeared quietly on the ridge of the neighboring field!

With his hands behind his back, he glanced at the two of them and waved, saying:

"I'm busy!"

"People living here... Hahaha..." Upon seeing this, Jidaozi burst into wild laughter:

"Busy with work, people are living here! Hahaha!"

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei nodded.

"You guys keep going..." Chen Fan nodded, said goodbye, and left.

This made Jidaozi's laughter stop abruptly!

With a bitter expression, he touched the dough and said:

"He's gone to refine pills again. I'm laughing so hard I'm cramping up. And he even makes me test the medicine... When will this ever end..."

Eunuch Wei smiled but remained silent.

Leave the field.

Chen Fan made his way to the training area.

With a calm expression, he waved his hand, and a figure appeared out of thin air—it was the Imperial Guard he had captured last night!

"You damned eunuch... Who are you! Let go of me! You dare arrest the Imperial Guards? Are you trying to rebel?!"

As soon as the Imperial Guards appeared, they immediately shouted a few angry words!

"So noisy..."

Seeing this, Chen Fan shook his head slightly and slapped him across the face!

Snapped!

After a crisp slap, the Imperial Guards fell silent instantly!

"You keep talking about dead eunuchs... Do you Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) think you're so noble?!"

Chen Fan said in a hoarse voice:

"When my family was working in the palace, you hadn't even entered the palace yet! What kind of behavior was that!"

"You..." the Imperial Guard said, covering his face.

"You're...from the palace? Then why are you arresting me! Let me go, and...who are you?!"

"Why waste so much breath? Since you've offended us, don't blame us for being ruthless towards you..." Chen Fan said with a squinting smile.

"People, you have to believe in fate. You met us, so this is your destiny!"

"What do you want to do... Don't come any closer..." The Imperial Guard, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the old eunuch, panicked!

Unfortunately, Chen Fan was a fourth-level Qi Refining Realm expert.

Controlling a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) at the Acquired Realm is a piece of cake!

As he made a hand seal, the man froze in place, unable to move an inch.

Chen Fan smiled as he approached the Imperial Guard step by step, and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"A tiger-like back, a wasp waist, and mantis legs... the quality is quite good... I hope you won't disappoint us..."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Chen Fan then placed one hand on the head of the Imperial Guard!

With a forceful slap, the person's face instantly twisted and deformed...
