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

Chapter 24 Cultivating Immortality is the Only True Principle! Little Stool has found a mate!

The Third Prince, Xiao Qing!

Chen Fan had met this person more than ten years ago.

At that time, the other person was still a child who often liked to come to the Imperial Stables to ride horses and shoot arrows.

Finally, it was said that his mother had committed a crime, and the third prince was implicated and then disappeared without a trace.

"They're still alive..."

Chen Fan shook his head to himself, muttering to himself, and then got up and sat down in the chair.

Squeak...

As the door opened, Xiaodengzi walked in with a smile on his face.

Holding his lunch in his hands, he said in a gentle voice:

"Godfather...this is fresh radish and meat soup...please have some."

Looking at the steaming radish and meat stew, Chen Fan felt a pang of sadness.

He's been eating radishes for almost two months now, and he's really starting to get tired of them.

If it weren't for the fact that eating white radishes could increase spiritual power, he would have used them all to feed cats and horses!

"Thank you for your kindness, keep it." Chen Fan nodded and said:

"Go and make preparations. The Third Prince... will likely choose the horses sent from Dongjun. Feed them plenty of hay!"

"Yes, Godfather..." Little Stool responded, then looked at the little flower on the windowsill and said:

"This cat is so fat... It's gotten even rounder in just a few days."

"Well taken care of..." Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.

The little stool nodded slightly.

He stepped forward, stroked the little flower's fur, and then turned and left.

After the person left, the room became quiet again.

Chen Fan glanced at the lunch on the table and said with some disdain:

"Aren't you going to eat?"

However, Xiaohua glanced up once and then continued to sleep on the windowsill.

Clearly, having grown accustomed to eating large white radishes, it couldn't stomach these ordinary radishes.

Somewhat helpless, Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and could only take out the golden bowl.

With a thought, half a bowl of water quickly appeared in the bowl.

This is the water that Chen Fan stored in the world within the bowl.

He usually drinks water from a kettle, and the water in the bowl is for storage.

He also discovered that the water he threw into the golden bowl world soon became almost entirely imbued with spiritual energy.

Even the medicinal herbs have become imbued with spiritual energy, and their effects are far greater than before.

As his thoughts raced, Chen Fan casually poured the water from the bowl into the meat broth.

Meow…

The little flower, smelling the aroma, cried out and quickly jumped over to feast.

Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled and then got up and went out.

……

The weather was sunny and breezy in the late afternoon.

Chen Fan and Xiao Dengzi, who had been waiting outside the Imperial Horse Stables for a long time, soon saw a royal carriage approaching from afar.

After the carriage, pulled by several tall horses, came to a stop, a young man with a dignified bearing, a robust build, and a resemblance to the Hongwu Emperor alighted from the carriage.

Several servants followed behind him; this man was none other than the Third Prince, Xiao Qing.

"Chen Fan, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Administration, greets His Highness the Third Prince..." Chen Fan nodded slightly.

"No need to be so polite... Eunuch Chen." The Third Prince, Xiao Qing, said with a smile and a strong voice:

"I've come here to look at horses... Do you have any recommendations?"

The Spring Hunt was an annual royal entertainment event of the Da Yuan Dynasty.

Every year at this time, the princes in the palace would come to the Imperial Stables in advance to select horses.

In order to make a good impression on Emperor Hongwu during the spring hunt, these princes would put in some effort on horseback.

However, the Third Prince has not appeared at the Spring Hunt in recent years.

His habit of using horses and riding horses is little known to anyone except Chen Fan.

This sudden appearance was naturally somewhat unexpected.

Chen Fan, unfazed, squinted and smiled:

"The horses of Dongjun are robust and have excellent stamina... If the Third Prince doesn't mind, they could be used!"

"Hahaha," the Third Prince Xiao Qing laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Thirteen years have passed, and I never expected that Eunuch Chen would still remember my preference for horses... I like the horses from Dongjun, so please choose one!"

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Without further ado, he led the Third Prince to choose a horse.

Before long, he had his eye on a fine four-year-old horse.

This horse is robust and gentle, and its all-black coat gives it an imposing presence.

After the Third Prince showered the horse with praise, it was taken out of the Imperial Stables.

Before leaving, Chen Fan was also rewarded with a piece of gold.

Completely unconcerned, he turned around and gave his son a small stool.

"Godfather... I heard from the palace that... a great general has emerged from the Third Prince's maternal clan, and only now has he dared to show his face!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan shook his head slightly.

He thought that whether it was a prince or a general, in his view, as long as one could not cultivate immortality, it was all just a passing cloud.

The Great Abyss Dynasty stood out among the ordinary dynasties by attaching itself to the Changchun Sect.

Even so, not everyone can cultivate immortality.

According to Chen Fan's knowledge over the years.

Every few days, the Changchun Sect would come to the Dayuan Dynasty to select mortals with the aptitude for cultivating immortality.

At first, there were a few people who could be selected, but the number of people decreased as time went on.

Princess Yuanping didn't appear in the palace until a few years ago.

Chen Fan heard that this princess possessed a rare immortal cultivation physique, a rarity even in a century, and that the royal family received numerous rewards after being noticed by the Changchun Sect.

At the same time, the royal family also made considerable efforts to ensure that Princess Yuanping could gain a foothold in the Changchun Sect.

As for what he ultimately received in return, Chen Fan had no idea.

As an old eunuch, he had no time to think about too many things.

Now that he is single-mindedly focused on breaking through to the Acquired Realm, cultivation is his top priority.

As for the affairs of the Da Yuan royal family, Chen Fan had no intention of getting involved.

"Little stool...sometimes, when you're a eunuch, you have to be good at pretending not to see or hear, that's how you live longer, understand?"

Upon hearing his godfather's admonition, Xiao Dengzi's expression changed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Godfather..."

Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed, and then ran back into the house...

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Chen Fan, whose hearing was extraordinary, heard noises coming from the kitchen.

Upon listening carefully, he realized that it was Xiaodengzi who had gotten up.

It's only close to dawn, what's this little eunuch up to?

After opening his eyes, Chen Fan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, got up and went out.

Squeak...

As soon as I pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind blew in.

Holding his breath, Chen Fan used the Concealment Technique to walk step by step toward the kitchen.

He was like a ghost, walking without making a sound.

When Chen Fan arrived at the kitchen window, the little stool inside didn't notice anyone approaching.

He poked a hole in the window paper with his finger and took a closer look; his old face flushed red instantly.

In the kitchen, besides the small stool, there was also a palace maid of average appearance.

The two were embracing and touching each other, thoroughly enjoying themselves!

Food pairing!

So the little stool has a pair of food!

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all unfortunate people.

With the emperor's permission, these people were allowed to choose their own partners, which was known as "pairing up for food" (or "cohabitation").

When he was young, Chen Fan also thought about finding a palace maid to experience what it's like to not use a gun.

However, due to psychological pressure, he eventually gave up.

As he got older, he stopped having such thoughts altogether!

Having experienced the feeling of being shot to the death, how could Chen Fan possibly like the feeling of having strength but nowhere to use it?

After glancing at the two people on the small stool a few times, he quietly left with his hands behind his back...
