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

Chapter 39 Above the Innate Realm! Changchun Sect!

"Eunuch Chen is exceptionally talented... he will definitely break through to the Innate Realm before he turns one hundred!"

After Wei Gonggong finished speaking, he lowered his head considerably.

Not daring to look Chen Fan in the eye, he sensed that the old eunuch's words had a hidden meaning.

"And what about beyond the innate realm?"

With his eyes narrowed, Chen Fan asked what was on his mind.

Since he captured Eunuch Wei, the two have discussed martial arts and immortal cultivation quite often.

The Iron Skin, Void Breaking, Acquired, and Innate realms are merely the paths for mortals to practice martial arts.

Sects like the Changchun Sect, on the other hand, follow the path of seeking immortality and longevity through cultivation.

Once an ordinary person breaks through to the Innate Realm through martial arts practice, their lifespan is limited to one hundred years.

If you don't make any further progress before you turn 100, then your life will end here.

On the contrary, for mortals seeking immortality, martial arts training is just the beginning.

Upon reaching the Qi Refining Realm, a person's lifespan will increase to one hundred and fifty years.

The higher one's cultivation level, the longer one's lifespan.

However, practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality is too difficult, as it requires people with spiritual roots to cultivate.

Reaching the Innate Realm is already difficult enough, let alone stepping into the Qi Refining Realm!

That was a completely different level of existence for Chen Fan in the past.

But once he was confident of reaching the Innate Realm, he had to consider this issue.

Otherwise, he would be eighty years old now, and only twenty years away from turning one hundred.

If you tell Chen Fan that he's content to live out his days in the Imperial Stables, then his claim of willingness is a lie.

Everyone has the desire to seek the Dao and cultivate immortality, and he was no exception.

This includes Eunuch Wei.

Having held a high position for many years, he had frequent interactions with the Changchun Sect.

His understanding of these aspects far surpasses that of Chen Fan.

"Cultivating immortality is too difficult... Even after breaking through to the Innate Realm, we felt we had reached our limit. This must be due to our limited aptitude!"

After a moment of contemplation, Eunuch Wei said:

"Furthermore, we eunuchs are castrated, which means we are incomplete in the eyes of those immortal masters. Incompleteness means we cannot cultivate the Great Dao... This is something we really cannot answer."

Chen Fan was not angry.

He nodded, his eyes narrowed, and chuckled softly:

"Don't be nervous. We just want to find out if there's any chance to cultivate immortality."

"The Changchun Sect will send people to the capital to select disciples in the middle of the year," Eunuch Wei nodded and said.

"When the opportunity arises, Eunuch Chen can give it a try."

Selecting disciples?

A glint of light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

Somewhat tempted, he nodded and said:

"Eunuchs can go too?"

"Theoretically, it's possible," Eunuch Wei said with a wry smile.

"The Changchun Sect accepts disciples regardless of age or gender, only looking at their talent... With Eunuch Chen's talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to join the Changchun Sect!"

Wei Zhong hereby congratulates Eunuch Chen in advance on becoming a disciple of the Changchun Sect. From now on, you will be a Celestial Master, and even the Emperor will have to address you respectfully as Celestial Master!

Hearing Eunuch Wei flatter him.

Chen Fan felt that something was wrong.

Upon careful consideration, he countered with a question:

"Why haven't you tried joining the Changchun Sect, Eunuch Wei?"

"Our family just broke through to the Innate Realm and was then... by you..." Eunuch Wei smiled sullenly.

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

It seems that after breaking through to the Innate Realm, Eunuch Wei also plans to try his luck in the Changchun Sect's disciple selection this year.

Unfortunately, this person was unlucky and met him.

"I'm leaving now... Take good care of the radishes in this field, don't steal any." Chen Fan felt a little embarrassed, gave a few more instructions, and then left.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei, who was standing still, revealed a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.

Having recently eaten a lot of radishes, he finally managed to suppress the Yin Corpse Poison and save his life.

However, his cultivation level remained at the peak of the Breaking Void stage.

Unable to defeat Eunuch Chen, he can only stay here and farm.

Thinking about all this, Eunuch Wei felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Looking at the few acres of land in front of him, he could only pick up a hoe and start working, huffing and puffing...

……

the next morning.

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

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Fan got dressed, got up, and went out.

It was just getting light outside, and the cool breeze carried the scent of flowers.

With his back hunched, he went to the stables and looked around. Then he picked up some fresh grass he had cut from the vegetable garden in the backyard and fed it to the horses. He also gave Black Wind a radish.

This guy's appetite has gotten bigger lately; one big white radish isn't enough for him anymore.

Chen Fan didn't indulge him.

With a shortage of radishes, he has to feed them sparingly.

After feeding the horse, he headed towards the kitchen.

The weather is getting warmer now.

The imperial horses no longer need to drink hot water.

However, the fire in the kitchen was still burning.

"Godfather, you're here. I'm furious. Come and sit down."

The little stool that was carrying water saw its godfather arrive and quickly greeted him with a smile.

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

He sat in front of the stove, warming himself by the fire, a smile playing on his lips.

"Godfather... do you think Little Li might get killed by the Yin Corpse Sect?"

Xiao Dengzi asked after returning from fetching water.

"It's possible. The Yin Corpse Sect is ruthless...maybe Little Li really was killed by them." Chen Fan said with a smile.

"That's terrible... From now on, Xiaodeng will never leave the palace... no, he should also rarely leave the Imperial Stables!" Xiaodeng said honestly!

"Quite quick to understand." Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.

The little stool scratched its head and smiled, then turned and went out to chop wood.

Seeing this, Chen Fan, who had warmed his hands by the fire, also hunched over and went back inside.

He's been busy farming lately and hasn't had much time to linger outside.

After all, that's three acres of land.

Just planting all the radishes would be quite a tiring job.

When the harvest comes, he'll have something to eat this year!

Thinking and thinking.

Chen Fan returned to the house.

Meow…

Little Flower, who was perched on the windowsill, saw the old eunuch return, stretched habitually, and peeked out.

"You went out partying again last night... I really envy you... I'm ashamed of myself!"

Chen Fan smiled and casually pinched a handful of the little flower's bells.

Good guy!

Wow, it's this big!

No wonder all the imperial concubines' female cats have been flocking here lately!

Meow…

Like a shy little flower, it glanced at something and then spread its belly out, acting coquettishly.

Knowing that the guy was hungry, Chen Fan shook his head inwardly and took out a large white radish, saying:

"Eat sparingly... we don't have enough to eat at home."

After speaking, Chen Fan returned to the table.

He took out the golden bowl and first drank six bowls of spiritual water.

Then he took out a crimson pill.

Guiyuan Dan (Return to Origin Pill).

According to Eunuch Wei, the Great Abyss Dynasty is a force under the Changchun Sect.

Over the years, he has scoured far and wide for spiritual herbs and various rare and precious materials to offer as tribute.

In return, the Changchun Sect would provide the royal family with a considerable amount of elixirs every year.

For example, the Guiyuan Pill, which can increase spiritual power and prolong lifespan, was sent by the Changchun Sect.

Of course, the emperor's favorite was still the elixir of immortality.

According to Eunuch Wei, the Emperor was able to father so many sons because he took a powerful pill.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Fan swallowed the Guiyuan Pill in one gulp.

Immediately, heat began to rise in his lower abdomen, specifically the dantian.

A surge of pure spiritual energy arose within him, then spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Feeling the benefits, Chen Fan smiled with narrowed eyes, thinking that this Guiyuan Pill was a good thing!
