Chapter 119 Earth Vein! Master Ren begins killing eunuchs to find the person!
Upon returning to the Imperial Stables.
Chen Fan then began rummaging through drawers and cabinets, finding several pieces of jade.
He couldn't wait any longer and threw it directly into the bowl.
To Chen Fan's disappointment, the golden bowl did not accept the jade.
This startled him. He picked up the jade and examined it, then took a small piece of dark yellow jade vein to compare it with.
Unable to discern any difference between the two, he could only try throwing both pieces of jade into the bowl.
As a result, the golden bowl only swallowed the dark yellow jade vein, while another piece of jadeite remained in the bowl.
"That's strange..."
With a puzzled look on his face, Chen Fan picked up the golden bowl and examined it. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the dark yellow jade vein might not be jade at all.
He had never seen this thing before, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
Since Jinwan likes to eat it, it must be something good.
Furthermore, the fan-shaped pattern on the golden bowl changed after it consumed this substance.
This was clearly good news for Chen Fan, who had previously been at a loss as to how to feed the animals.
He smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and then vanished in a flash.
A world within a bowl.
Just like Chen Fan thought.
With the sun shining brightly in the sky, the distinction between day and night naturally arises.
When it gets dark outside, the blazing sun turns into the moon.
It had been a long time since we'd seen Emperor Jianwen at night; he was sleeping so soundly!
Even Eunuch Wei, who hadn't been to sleep for a long time, finally drifted off to sleep.
Only Jidaozi was still awake.
Having recently eaten a lot of sweet potatoes, his cultivation level has recovered to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
He was just one step away from returning to the Qi Refining Realm!
Just as Ji Daozi, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, was about to exhale and breathe, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Being highly alert, he instinctively rushed forward!
Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared behind him.
The one who drew the sword was none other than Chen Fan!
With a smile on his face, he glanced at Yokudoko and chuckled:
"It's time to recover to the Qi Refining Realm..."
"It's you... Master, hahaha," Ji Daozi, who was cultivating in the open space, said with an awkward laugh.
"It's so late, you're still up..."
Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
He squinted at Ji Daozi, then took out a piece of dark yellow jade vein and said:
"Do you recognize this thing...?"
"This is...this is an earth vein!" Ji Daozi exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.
"Judging by the quality... it should be low-grade..."
Earth veins?
Chen Fan nodded upon learning the origin of the item.
He then chatted with Jidaozi about the earth veins.
According to this guy.
Earth veins are where the earth's vital energy resides; they can only grow in places where spiritual energy is abundant.
Although it can't be compared to things like spiritual veins, it's still quite valuable.
Generally, powerful families with spiritual fields will acquire two earth veins to enhance their spiritual energy!
"Are there many veins in this soil?" Chen Fan asked with a squinting smile.
"We're short of this right now..."
"Earth veins aren't scarce..." Ji Daozi stroked his chin and said.
"As for where to find them... Master, I'm afraid you'll have to go check the homes of the princes and nobles in Da Yuan..."
This reminder from Jidaozi...
Chen Fan suddenly realized!
Yes!
In Dayuan, there are countless people practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality.
Especially in the homes of princes and nobles, there was an abundance of things like spirit rice and spirit wine.
In contrast, the royal family, who were bound by constraints, seemed more like ordinary people!
"You should continue your cultivation," Chen Fan nodded, his mind now clearer.
"We'll be going first..."
The words fell.
Chen Fan vanished in a flash.
Seeing this, Jidaozi, who was stunned in place, breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that this old eunuch's strength was becoming more and more terrifying; even with his current eyesight, he could hardly see through him anymore.
With a sigh of deep emotion, Ji Daozi could only continue cultivating...
……
Early the next morning.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
After opening his eyes and exhaling a breath of stale air, Chen Fan got up and went out.
After a night of meditation, he felt warm all over.
He felt no cold wind blowing in from outside.
After wandering around the horse pen, Chen Fan went straight to the kitchen.
"Godfather... your son can finally circulate his Qi smoothly throughout the entire body!"
Inside the house, as soon as Xiaodengzi saw his godfather arrive, he hurriedly ran up to announce the good news.
"Not bad..." Chen Fan's face twitched, and he could only smile and offer a compliment.
He thought to himself that Xiao Dengzi's cultivation speed was obviously slower than he had expected!
But it's better to go slower, as it will lay a solid foundation for the future.
Chen Fan, who could only console himself in this way, smiled and said:
"Here... this is three days' worth of radishes..."
"Thank you, godfather." Xiao Dengzi took the radish and then came behind Chen Fan to massage his back and shoulders.
With a smile on his face, he gossiped:
"Godfather, we heard that a eunuch died in the East Garden of the Imperial Palace... His death was quite gruesome; he was almost rotting when he was discovered..."
"Isn't it normal for a eunuch to die?" Chen Fan said nonchalantly.
"Godfather, it's quite normal for a eunuch to die," Little Stool said worriedly.
"The eunuch who died... was an old man like us, the Jianwen Emperor."
Chen Fan's expression changed.
He understood the hidden meaning in Xiao Dengzi's words and said in a deep voice:
"What did the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs say?"
"After Eunuch Feng of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs died, Eunuch Liu has taken over as the new head," the little stool said honestly.
"Eunuch Liu didn't concern himself with this matter; he simply had the body dumped in a mass grave..."
Chen Fan remained silent.
He thought to himself that Master Ren seemed to be getting a little anxious!
It's obvious that the other side would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!
If Chen Fan remembers correctly...
From the Hongwu Emperor to the Jianwen Emperor, only a dozen or so eunuchs remained in the palace.
If Master Ren continues killing like this, it's only a matter of time before he finds the Imperial Horse Administration.
An invisible sense of oppression instantly arose in Chen Fan's heart.
Sensing something was amiss, he sighed and gave the order:
"Strange things are happening in the palace... Don't go out of the Imperial Horse Stables lately... I'm leaving!"
"Yes... Godfather..." Little Stool looked at his godfather's departing figure with eyes full of respect.
After everyone left, he continued to sit cross-legged and meditate diligently.
……
After leaving the kitchen.
Chen Fan returned to the house.
With Master Ren on his mind, he felt that the other party would come to the Imperial Stables.
What if he can't beat them?
Feeling completely overwhelmed, Chen Fan rubbed his chin and then sat down at the table.
Maintaining his composure, he took out high-grade spirit stones, radishes, and spiritual water for breakfast as usual.
After his spiritual power increased, Chen Fan began to absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones to cultivate.
After several cycles of circulation, he slowly opened his eyes.
"We need help..."
Chen Fan chuckled to himself, seemingly having come up with a solution.
Unperturbed, he then rose and left the Imperial Stables…
……
Inside a main hall in the northern garden of the imperial palace.
When Master Ren, who was cultivating here, opened his eyes, he felt that his injuries had recovered considerably.
Thinking of Xuanmiaozi's power, he felt a lingering fear.
He thought to himself that if he encountered this person again, he would definitely run away beforehand.
Otherwise, if the opponent were to strike with a sword, Master Ren would have no confidence whatsoever in blocking it!
Thinking of all this, he remembered the storage bag he had lost.
His face darkened, and he rose and walked out of the main hall...
