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

read more, walk more.

A line of text is written on the plaque above the main gate of the library.

Chen Fan glanced at it and then stepped into the house.

The air inside was filled with the scent of ink and the smell of old, musty books.

If you smell it carefully...

Chen Fan also smelled a woman's fragrance.

A woman has been here before; I wonder which noble lady from the palace she was.

What comes into view are rows of books on the bookshelves, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Some books were covered with a thin layer of dust, while others still had fingerprints on them.

Only a few books were spotless.

Behind these bookshelves are desks and the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper).

If Chen Fan wasn't mistaken, this place was most likely where the princes and princesses studied.

He glanced at it and began searching on the bookshelf.

Chen Fan has a lot of books to read.

Books about the territory of the Daeyu Dynasty, and books recording the seven kingdoms outside Daeyu, etc.

These books are all publicly available in Taiyuan.

Many merchants and farmers have probably read some of it.

But this was the first time Chen Fan had read it.

"Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms...Chronicles of the Great Abyss..."

He quickly found the two books in the corner.

Unhurriedly, Chen Fan wiped the dust off the book and began to sit down at the desk to read attentively.

He began reading from the Great Abyss Chronicle to the Seven Kingdoms Chronicle, page by page.

In his mind, he gradually gained a new understanding of the inside and outside of the Great Abyss.

The country of Daeyu was established less than a century ago.

It possessed a total territory of one capital and thirteen counties.

Each prefecture and county has hundreds of counties of varying sizes, which govern tens of millions of people.

It was neighboring the seven states of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qi, and Yan.

Among the eight kingdoms, the Great Yuan Dynasty ranked second in strength.

The Qin Empire ranks first!

Each of the eight kingdoms held sway over its own territory, and each was backed by a sect specializing in cultivating immortality, creating a standoff between them.

Over the years, they have had many conflicts over the competition for rare and precious materials and mineral resources!

Therefore, practicing martial arts was common practice among the eight nations.

Those with good aptitude will be selected to cultivate immortality in sects.

After learning all this, Chen Fan closed the book and felt even more that the world outside the palace was too dangerous.

With his acquired realm strength, there are probably a lot of people like him on the street!

Feeling a lingering fear, he shook his head inwardly, reaffirming his resolve not to leave the palace until he broke through to the Qi Refining Realm!

Perhaps it's because I haven't read a book in a long time.

Chen Fan also became interested.

After reading two books, he began to browse other books.

I don't know why.

Chen Fan felt his mind calm down quickly as he read.

That feeling of calming down is very refreshing.

under these circumstances.

Chen Fan began to read the book seriously again.

From day to night.

He only stopped after the moon rose.

"It's time to go back... Come back tomorrow..."

Chen Fan stretched his back as he muttered to himself.

After putting the dozen or so books back in their original positions on the table.

He then got up and left.

Before leaving, Chen Fan made sure to wake up the little eunuch who had been asleep all day.

He vanished into the night as if he had never been there.

……

After leaving the library.

Chen Fan originally planned to go straight back to the Imperial Horse Stables.

Despite his extraordinary vision, he made it halfway there.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure.

This person was none other than the Eighth Prince, Xiao Quan.

That is, the current Crown Prince.

The Eighth Prince, standing beneath an artificial hill, was currently engaged in passionate intimacy with a woman of stunning figure and beauty.

Compared to his previous refined demeanor, this man's current behavior is that of a hypocrite.

Chen Fan, blushing with embarrassment, sighed.

Feeling utterly useless, and wanting to avoid feeling bad, he decided to leave.

But after hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Fan was stunned!

Feeling incredulous, he looked at the woman's face and suddenly remembered seeing her at the Lantern Festival banquet.

At that time, this person was nestled in the old emperor's arms, drinking wine!

That eighth prince is truly ruthless!

The old emperor isn't even dead yet, and he's already trying to take advantage of the people right under his nose?

Chen Fan shook his head slightly, feeling disgusted by this behavior.

It immediately vanished in a blur...

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Spring comes quickly and goes quickly.

As nature awakens, all kinds of flowers and plants bloom in succession.

The air inside and outside the palace was filled with a rich floral fragrance.

But at this time, no one in the palace dared to go out to admire the flowers.

I don't even dare to smile.

This was simply because the old emperor's illness was getting worse.

The imperial physicians killed several of them, but it seems none of them could cure the person.

The immortal master from Changchun Sect has yet to arrive.

This led to rumors circulating in the palace that the Eighth Prince was going to become regent!

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was staying in the Imperial Horse Stables.

They are not very interested in these messages.

He recently left the palace and bought five acres of land for Eunuch Wei, as well as three pigs, one cow, and ten chickens, ducks, and geese.

The lifeless world inside the bowl became lively because of these little guys.

But Eunuch Wei was not happy.

He complained that there was too much land and he couldn't finish the work.

Chen Fan pretended not to hear.

He continued his daily practice, feeding the horses, and reading in the library.

At the same time, with the aid of the Triple Returning Origin Pill in his cultivation, the spiritual power within his body became increasingly abundant!

He felt that the barrier between his innate and innate levels was getting thinner and thinner!

Chen Fan felt that he only needed a trigger to break through!

He felt the strongest urge to break through, especially when he was reading.

as always.

After feeding the horse, Chen Fan headed straight for the library.

Having read nearly a hundred books in ten days, his mind is now brimming with knowledge.

But he felt that this was not enough; he was still far from having read ten thousand books!

When passing by the Imperial Garden.

Chen Fan stayed on that big tree for a while longer.

The reason is that there is another group of beautiful women dancing below.

That waist is as slender as a willow branch!

He was completely absorbed in watching it.

It's not that Chen Fan is lecherous.

Rather, he felt it was when watching these women dance.

My mind can calm down very quickly.

Their perspective is different from that of ordinary people.

Chen Fan went to see it with an appreciative mindset.

After watching for a while, he left happily.

The library has always been guarded by that little eunuch.

Chen Fan once heard someone call his name.

Xiao Chenzi.

This is the same as his eunuch's name.

Perhaps it was fate, but Chen Fan found the little eunuch much more agreeable.

At the same time, he felt that being a eunuch in the library was an easy job!

No one bothers us, no one cares about us, this is so much more peaceful than the Imperial Horse Stables!

Thinking and thinking.

Chen Fan then went to the library.

Just then, a light rain began to fall.

Xiao Chenzi, who was inside, also went into the library to take shelter from the rain.

This made Chen Fan's lips curl into a smile.

Having mastered the art of concealment to perfection, he was difficult to detect even during the day.

Without anyone noticing, he quickly slipped into the house.

Xiao Dengzi is sitting at the desk watching the rain.

Not noticing that no one had come in, he suddenly felt drowsy.

Before he knew it, he was fast asleep, slumped over the table.

Bewitching incense—this was Chen Fan's method.

As he approached his desk, he glanced at the curtain of water outside the window and said softly:

"What a torrential downpour..."
