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

Chapter 96 Death Refinement! Caught!

Arresting them is one thing!

Chen Fan shook his head slightly.

First, he didn't know who to use for the experiment.

Secondly, arresting people is too much trouble!

If he alerts anyone, he'll be in big trouble!

"Forget it, let's go outside for a walk. There isn't a single rat in this place..."

The words fell.

Chen Fan vanished in a flash.

Seeing this, Jidaozi, who was standing there stunned, turned around and said:

"Eunuch Wei, hahaha, aren't you afraid he'll turn you into a puppet?"

"I'm not afraid," said Eunuch Wei, shaking his head.

"If you wanted to kill him, you would have done it already. This old man of mine is still useful to him!"

……

In the vegetable garden of the Imperial Horse Stables.

Chen Fan squinted as he searched around.

No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find even a single mouse hair.

Feeling puzzled, he shook his head slightly and subconsciously wanted to look elsewhere.

Meow…

Suddenly, Xiao Hua jumped up onto the vegetable garden wall.

Watching the old eunuch searching here and there, it lazily stretched.

"Raise a cat for a thousand days...use it for a moment..." Chen Fan's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Hua:

"Come here, go catch me a few mice!"

Meow…

Little Flower has become intelligent after eating so many large white radishes.

It could understand the old eunuch's speech, so it glanced at him and then jumped off the palace wall.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan's lips curled up in a smile.

Seeing that Xiaohua had gone to catch mice, he immediately went back into the house to wait.

Once he has a test subject, he can then create puppets!

However, not long afterward...

As Chen Fan was leisurely drinking tea at the table, Xiao Hua suddenly ran in carrying a dead mouse in her mouth.

Meow…

As if seeking praise, it placed the mouse on the table and began to act coquettishly.

"Why did you bring us a dead one... We want a live one!"

Chen Fan sighed with some disgust, picked up the dead rat, examined it, and said:

"Fine, fine, a dead rat is a dead rat. Looks like we're destined to choose death-based cultivation!"

After saying that...

Chen Fan then placed the dead rat on the table and began to perform hand seals!

As he muttered to himself, he couldn't help but recall the first step of the Death Training!

Exorcise the soul!

All living things have seven souls and six spirits, including mice.

As Chen Fan silently recited the puppet technique incantation, a cloud of thick black smoke suddenly emerged from his palm.

Under its control, the thick smoke rushed straight towards the dead rat carcass!

The mouse, which had already been killed by Xiaohua, suddenly twitched twice.

Meow…

Startled, Xiaohua, who was watching the scene from the side, froze for a moment and quickly ran to the side to hide.

Fortunately, the dead rat hopped around a few times and then stopped moving.

Seeing this, Chen Fan, who had no expression, quickly bit his fingertip and squeezed out a drop of blood.

This is an essential and crucial step in getting the puppet to obey commands.

Furthermore, the stronger the puppet, the more complex the crafting process.

After Chen Fan placed his essence blood on the dead rat's corpse, he then used his own spiritual power to nourish it.

In its intuition, it could clearly sense that it had a connection with the dead rat on the table.

However, the connection was still too weak, as if it would break with the slightest breeze.

Chen Fan, who was not in a hurry, swallowed and waited silently as if in a meditative state.

As the spiritual energy within him continued to nourish the dead rat, that connection grew stronger and stronger.

Time quickly passed and it was late at night.

When the moon was high in the sky, Chen Fan opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his gaze to the dead rat on the table.

"rise!"

At Chen Fan's command.

The rat, which had been dead for a long time, suddenly twitched slightly and eventually got up.

It was as if it had come to life, walking unsteadily and a little shaky!

"It's done..."

Seeing this, Chen Fan, who was secretly in control, was overjoyed!

According to the puppetry manual, as long as the puppet can be revived, the activity is considered a success.

Secondly, the puppet's combat power, speed, strength, and other aspects need to be enhanced.

Strengthening can be done in many ways, such as directly equipping the puppet with armor or giving it elixirs.

Another method is to re-forge the puppets to make them stronger and more ferocious!

Strengthening is still too early for Chen Fan.

After all, it's just a dead rat; even if it's armed to the teeth, it's still just a rat.

In his view, one must first learn the basics before moving on to the next step!

Then, Chen Fan tried to control the mouse to go down to the ground and wander around.

Just as he expected, due to its own weakness and lack of experience, the mouse stopped moving after taking only a few steps!

Furthermore, there's not much difference between a puppet created through death and a walking corpse.

These kinds of puppets are basically useless; they're only good for testing purposes.

Somewhat helpless, Chen Fan stroked his chin and could only put the dead rat puppet on the ground into his pocket.

Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go out and try his luck.

After a while.

Inside the palace.

Under the moonlight, the entire palace and pavilions looked magnificent.

Chen Fan moved through the shadows like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

As he searched, he caught quite a few rats along the way.

He also wanted to catch two cats.

However, when Chen Fan discovered that these cats all had the scent of small flowers, it wasn't hard to guess that they were his concubines.

Having chosen to let him go, he could only continue to roam the palace.

Looking around, the palace was silent and deserted.

Even the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Guard rarely appeared anymore.

Chen Fan would have gotten used to it long ago.

Anyone else would think there's an ambush here.

"Be gentle..."

They arrived at the outside of a house in the inner palace.

Chen Fan suddenly stopped.

Hearing the noise, he swallowed hard and then used his divine sense to look into the house.

Inside the room, two eunuchs were seen embracing and kissing each other.

The disgusting scene made Chen Fan quickly look away!

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

Even after walking for a long time, Chen Fan's mind was still filled with those lingering shadows.

Feeling nauseous, he sighed and decided to go back.

"Who are you?"

Before Chen Fan could take two steps, a Jinyiwei guard with a knife suddenly appeared in front of him!

"Coming to the palace in the dead of night, do you know your crime?"

Oops!

It was discovered!

Chen Fan, who was in the dark, looked panicked.

He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to use the Concealment spell when he came out.

As the Imperial Guards approached step by step, Chen Fan had a sudden inspiration!

Not wanting to be discovered, he immediately stepped out of the darkness and said in a hoarse voice:

"My family are eunuchs from the Directorate of Ceremonial..."

He was a eunuch!

The Imperial Guard who had drawn his sword was startled and instantly relaxed his guard!

"Those concubines in the harem really aren't picky eaters; they can even stomach a eunuch like you?"

"Get lost! You damned eunuch! I thought I was about to achieve something great! What bad luck!"

Chen Fan originally did not intend to kill anyone.

But when he heard someone call him a dead eunuch, he instantly flew into a rage!

He squinted and smiled:

"The ladies of the harem have something to ask of me... I've caused the misunderstanding, sir. I deserve to die... I'll be going now..."

After saying this, Chen Fan walked forward step by step!

Seeing this, the Imperial Guards with their arms crossed simply stepped aside with disdain, looking like they didn't want to bother with them...
