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

Chapter 68 The Truth Behind Emperor Hongwu's Childbirth! The Royal Family's Methods!

Chen Fan smiled and the corners of his mouth turned up.

After giving Xiaohua a radish, he began preparing his own breakfast.

One radish, one triple-strength Rejuvenation Pill, and six large bowls of spiritual water.

After consuming these items, Chen Fan's spiritual energy rapidly increased.

The feeling of his dantian being filled prompted him to quickly circulate his qi throughout his body and refine it.

I don't know why.

Perhaps Chen Fan's cultivation level had reached the half-step Qi Refining stage.

His speed in refining internal energy has also increased significantly today.

As the protective energy transformed into vital energy, Chen Fan clearly felt his body become much lighter.

Furthermore, a wisp of divine consciousness also appeared in his mind.

According to the records in Changchun Gong.

Once a cultivator reaches the Qi Refining Realm, their perception will evolve into divine sense.

The range and strength of each cultivator's divine sense perception vary.

Furthermore, the stronger one's cultivation level, the stronger one's divine sense will become.

But Chen Fan is only at the half-step Qi Refining stage, so why does he already have divine consciousness?

He stopped thinking about it because he couldn't figure it out!

Chen Fan, who was trying to control his consciousness, soon showed a strange expression on his face.

Under his perception, he could clearly see anything within a ten-foot radius.

It should be noted that Chen Fan, even in his innate state, could perceive his surroundings.

At most, one can discern the general location or outline of what one is looking at.

But now that Chen Fan has divine consciousness, it's as if his body has gained a pair of eyes.

The exceptionally clear visuals filled him with ecstasy!

The only drawback is that the range of this divine sense detection is only one zhang!

No matter how hard Chen Fan tried, he could never break through this distance.

Moreover, as he used his divine sense more, he could clearly feel his spiritual energy rapidly diminishing.

"It's a good thing..."

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

He stretched his back and ended his training session.

While it's still early.

Chen Fan planned to go to the fields to take a look.

After all, he now has ten more acres of land, so it would be a lie to say he wouldn't help.

Otherwise, relying on Eunuch Wei alone, it would probably take at least ten days to half a month to plant it.

A world within a bowl.

Ground.

Eunuch Wei glanced at Hei Feng lying on the ground, a smug look on his face.

He clapped his hands, then picked up a hoe to plant sweet potatoes.

"What... what's wrong with the horse?"

Before Eunuch Wei had even taken two steps...

Chen Fan appeared in the courtyard in a flash.

Upon seeing the listless Black Wind, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes!

"Nothing much... We just had him plow the field all night..." Eunuch Wei said without batting an eye!

One night?

Chen Fan pulled out a piece of dough.

He glanced back at Black Wind and pointed at Eunuch Wei, saying:

"It was the late emperor's imperial horse, how dare you treat it like this?"

hiss…

When Black Wind saw that the old eunuch had spoken up for it, it couldn't help but let out a screech!

Their pitiful appearance was so heartbreaking that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who saw it and saddened anyone who heard about it.

"Of course I know," Eunuch Wei argued logically.

"This guy stole ten radishes while plowing the field. If you don't mind, Father-in-law, we can let it go!"

"What? Ten! That's forty low-grade spirit stones and four mid-grade spirit stones from our family!" Chen Fan changed the subject.

"Use it extensively in our household!"

"Yes, sir!" Eunuch Wei clasped his hands in a fist salute, deliberately glancing at Hei Feng, whose eyes were wide open, and a smile appeared on his lips!

hiss…

Upon hearing this, Black Wind immediately cried out that he was innocent!

I thought to myself, it only stole one radish, so how could it have ten radishes?

That damned old eunuch! This is blatant slander!

If he could speak, Black Wind would curse this dog of a eunuch to death!

Chen Fan then didn't sit idle either.

He came here to help, picked up a hoe and went to the field to dig holes and plant sweet potatoes.

While chatting casually with Eunuch Wei, he mentioned the Embroidered Uniform Guard that had recently appeared in the palace.

And the matter of Emperor Jianwen reducing the power of the princes.

"A new emperor, a new court...that's normal." Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei sighed.

"Even if our family hadn't come here, after the late emperor passed away, the new emperor wouldn't tolerate us. As for this reduction of the power of the vassal states... it's too hasty!"

Chen Fan thought so too.

Although Emperor Jianwen wanted to accomplish great things, he still needed some time to prepare.

Who knew that this person would start using knives so soon after taking power!

"These vassal kings... I don't know what we have to do with them. Is the emperor just showing off his military might?" Chen Fan said with a squinty smile.

"You wouldn't believe it, sir," Eunuch Wei remarked with a sigh.

"Didn't we say that royalty can't cultivate immortality? But the princes belong to the imperial clan, so they can cultivate immortality..."

"You mean..." Chen Fan's expression changed!

"The late emperor risked his life to have a son, do you really think it was because he was lustful?" Eunuch Wei nodded and smiled.

"Having one more vassal king is equivalent to having one more force protecting the imperial family's position. This will make the Great Yuan Dynasty incredibly stable both internally and externally. In the long run, it will have the confidence to challenge the Changchun Sect. This was the late emperor's plan..."

After hearing what Eunuch Wei said, Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

Having never been involved in the power struggles within the palace, he witnessed for the first time what true cunning and scheming were all about.

If it weren't for Eunuch Wei mentioning it today, Chen Fan would still think that Emperor Hongwu was a lecherous old man who lusts after beautiful women!

It turns out that this emperor was the real ambitious one!

If their plan succeeds, they might actually be able to challenge the Changchun Sect!

"But why would some of the vassal kings rebel?" Chen Fan asked, his mind racing.

"And it's only been a few decades... Does the royal family think they can take on the Changchun Sect now?"

Eunuch Wei smiled slightly.

He casually picked up a handful of soil and said softly:

"My lord, no one doesn't want to be emperor, let alone a prince... Emperor Jianwen was too hasty... This fire should have been lit ten more years later... Of course, if I'm not mistaken, it's also possible that the Changchun Sect has already discovered it, and the emperor had no choice but to take action!"

Chen Fan nodded.

After chatting with Eunuch Wei for a while, he roughly understood the intricacies of the matter.

He was completely baffled by the royal family's schemes!

Suddenly I feel that raising horses in the Imperial Stables is quite nice, much happier than being an emperor!

"Your Excellency, are you perhaps going to help the royal family?" Eunuch Wei asked abruptly!

"We're not interested," Chen Fan stated directly.

"It's certainly good to not compete or fight," Eunuch Wei said with a smile.

"But can my father-in-law really avoid it?"

Chen Fan fell silent!

Eunuch Wei is right.

As long as he was in the palace, he seemed to have countless connections with the royal family.

If the Changchun Sect were to attack one day, would he simply have to wait to be slaughtered?

This is a problem that gives eunuchs a real headache!

Chen Fan shook his head slightly, feeling distressed by the thought, and decided to stop thinking about it altogether!

"Let's talk about it another day... what if Emperor Jianwen wins!"

Eunuch Wei smiled.

He then picked up his hoe again and continued planting.

Chen Fan also fell silent.

With their tacit understanding, the two quickly finished planting ten acres of land.

"Father-in-law, how about we go out for a meal?"

Before leaving, Eunuch Wei suddenly asked the guests to stay.

Chen Fan paused, then turned around and said:

"You didn't poison our food, did you?"

"How could that be?" Eunuch Wei chuckled.

"In our family's eyes, your father-in-law is like our godfather. We're too busy being filial to you, how could we possibly poison you!"

"No...we're not your godfather," Chen Fan waved his hand and said.

"I heard that you killed three of your godfathers in order to climb to the top..."
