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

Chapter 40: The Origin of the Word-Fixing Technique! The Changes in Eunuch Wei's Mindset.

Five days passed quickly.

A light rain was falling from the gray sky.

This is the first rain of spring since winter.

After returning from the kitchen, Chen Fan drank some water and then climbed into the bowl.

A world within a bowl.

Looking at the three acres of land where tender seedlings had sprouted, Eunuch Wei felt that farming was truly exhausting.

He shook his head slightly, even though he hadn't been this tired from practicing martial arts, and picked up the hoe again to start weeding.

"Busy." Just then, Chen Fan appeared out of nowhere.

With a smile on his face, he glanced at the tender seedlings in the field, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Eunuch Chen, you've arrived..." Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei quickly put down his hoe and greeted him.

He appeared somewhat obsequious, like a servant.

At first, Chen Fan was a little uncomfortable, but under Eunuch Wei's insistence, he had no choice but to do as he pleased!

"Come and see..." Chen Fan said with a squinting smile:

"These radishes are growing really fast. If we're not mistaken... they'll be ripe in a few days, right?"

Eunuch Wei nodded.

Having already taken over the small plot of land next door, he had personally witnessed how those radishes imbued with spiritual energy came to be.

He was amazed by the field that could accelerate the growth of radishes.

Meanwhile, Wei Gonggong was secretly observing them.

They discovered that these radishes grew so fast because they contained spiritual energy.

It's probably related to the water that the old eunuch poured.

Unfortunately, the old eunuch was extremely cunning and cautious, and wouldn't let him touch a drop of water.

We don't even let him do any of the watering and fertilizing work normally.

This means that all Eunuch Wei knows now is that radishes possess spiritual power, and nothing else.

Of course, he didn't have any other intentions; he was just curious.

After spending so much time with this old eunuch, Eunuch Wei realized that the man was a very nice person.

Aside from being a bit cunning, cowardly, and ruthless, he doesn't seem to have any flaws!

"Eunuch Wei, I'd like to know what this is..."

While Eunuch Wei was deep in thought, Chen Fan took out the Secret Manual of the Fixed Character Technique.

"This is…"

Eunuch Wei recognized it at a glance.

His expression changed drastically as he glanced at Chen Fan and fell silent.

"Don't rush, Eunuch Wei... Think it over slowly... Think it over carefully, I'm waiting for you to speak." Chen Fan had a smile on his face, looking completely harmless.

When Eunuch Wei saw that terrifying smile, he trembled all over.

Not daring to hide it, he sighed and said:

"We found this by chance in a mountain forest during one of our missions..."

Eunuch Wei spoke at length.

Chen Fan frowned upon hearing this.

The other party's meaning was that he found this thing in a cave.

Because the stone tablet inscribed with the Dingzi Shu was incomplete and about to break, he copied it onto paper.

"Eunuch Chen, I really didn't lie to you..." Eunuch Wei quickly explained when he saw Chen Fan frowning.

"We're telling the truth... This 'fixed character' technique is incredibly profound... it must have a very special origin!"

Chen Fan nodded.

In the past two days, besides his daily practice, he has spent most of his time studying the art of word fixing.

After some experimentation, he discovered that this technique was not fabricated.

Chen Fan was able to complete the previous cultivation steps normally.

After practicing for a few days, he was even able to use the word-fixing technique!

If the spelling technique hadn't been incomplete, he suspected he might have already mastered it!

"Has Eunuch Wei learned this art of character determination?" Chen Fan asked softly, his thoughts racing.

"No... It's too difficult. My family is not very talented, and even after studying it for months, we haven't been able to learn the basics." Eunuch Wei shook his head!

Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.

Whether he can do it or not, he'll know once he tries.

Taking advantage of Wei Gonggong's inattention, Chen Fan raised his hand and began to form a hand seal, then pointed at Wei's body.

"Eunuch Chen... what are you doing...?"

Before Eunuch Wei could react, he suddenly felt his body freeze, as if he were stuck in a quagmire and unable to move an inch.

Although it was only a moment, in a battle between masters, life and death can often be decided in an instant!

Wei Gonggong, whose body had returned to normal, narrowed his eyes in surprise and exclaimed:

"Eunuch Chen...you've learned the art of freezing people in place?"

"I only managed to learn the basics by sheer luck." Chen Fan smiled.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Chen! Congratulations! You are truly a genius, a cultivation prodigy rarely seen in a century... Wei Zhong's admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending..."

Eunuch Wei also liked to flatter, and immediately uttered a whole bunch of nice things.

If Chen Fan hadn't gestured for them to stop, the other party probably would have said a lot more.

"We're in a good mood today... so here's an extra radish for you."

"Thank you, Eunuch Chen!" Upon hearing that he could eat an extra radish today, Eunuch Wei's face lit up with joy!

"Let's go!" Chen Fan smiled slightly upon seeing this, and then disappeared in a flash!

After the person left, the smile on Eunuch Wei's face came to an abrupt end.

He remained silent for a long time, staring at the spot where Chen Fan had just been standing.

This old eunuch is really getting more and more cunning!

If things continue like this, he'll probably never be a match for him again!

Eunuch Wei had no idea how much longer he would have to wait to escape from this awful place!

"Sigh...it's all fate..."

Unable to hold back his sigh, Eunuch Wei shook his head slightly.

He picked up the hoe again and went down to the field to weed.

Inside the house.

Chen Fan, who was back on his bed meditating cross-legged, naturally heard Eunuch Wei's sigh.

Having lived to be eighty, he had seen far too many cunning eunuchs!

But this was the first time he had ever seen a eunuch as patient as Eunuch Wei.

However, Chen Fan understood.

The other party used to be a high-ranking official, but now he has become a slave who tills the land for him.

This sense of disparity would be difficult for most people to accept!

Even if Eunuch Wei were to mutter a few words of criticism about Chen Fan behind his back, he would pretend not to hear them.

Everyone has emotions, and it's not wrong to let others release them.

Of course, if Eunuch Wei had any ulterior motives...

Chen Fan was also able to sense it.

If the other party doesn't farm properly for him, then he can only let them become fertilizer!

Thinking of all this, Chen Fan took out the Fixed Character Technique again to study it.

Having learned only a smattering of the technique, he had already seen its power.

Furthermore, after learning about the origin of the Fixed Character Technique from Eunuch Wei, Chen Fan couldn't help but suspect that it was one of the inheritances left behind by a powerful immortal master.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, this technique has become incomplete.

Even though it's just a fragment, its power is still quite terrifying!

That ability to bring an opponent to a standstill is enough to be fatal in a battle between strong opponents.

With his thoughts churning, Chen Fan closed his eyes and began to concentrate fully on comprehending the meaning.

In his mind, the steps of cultivating the Fixed Word Technique appeared word by word!

"A calm mind leads to composure..."

Chen Fan swallowed hard, muttering to himself, feeling as if a huge "fixed" had appeared in his mind!

Sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, making it difficult to see clearly.

Chen Fan, who wanted to take a closer look, suddenly felt a splitting headache.

The intense pain made him open his eyes.

"This is the third time..."

Since Chen Fan learned the basics of the art of character recognition.

In his subsequent cultivation and enlightenment, he would occasionally encounter the headache he had just experienced.

It felt like something was about to pop out of his head...
