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

Chapter 7 Breakthrough to the Iron Skin Realm!

Like those withered leaves.

These white radish seeds that have been treated with the spiritual water will also quickly regain their vitality, take root and sprout!

Having confirmed his guess, Chen Fan stroked his chin, feeling as if his mind had become much sharper.

It looks like he'll be able to have white radish soup this winter!

"Godfather... Godfather... Where are you...?"

Just as Chen Fan was secretly pleased, the sound of a small stool came from the Imperial Stables.

With his extraordinary hearing, he patted the snow off his hands and walked out of the garden.

"Godfather, you're in the vegetable garden... Here are the medicinal herbs you requested..."

In the passageway of the Imperial Stables, a small stool covered in snow, its hat and body glowing red from the cold.

He carried a package of medicinal herbs wrapped in yellowish-brown paper, and looked somewhat honest and simple.

"You've worked hard... Go back and rest..." Chen Fan took the medicinal herbs and turned to leave.

"Godfather, the palace physician said that without your bowl of hot soup, Xiao Dengzi would have died. Your son thanks you so much!"

But then Xiaodengzi's eyes reddened, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Get up... a bowl of hot soup... nothing special."

On this snowy day, Chen Fan looked at the small stool kneeling on the ground and felt as if he were seeing Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Li from back then.

These people are either in high positions now or have already turned to dust; to him, they are all just fleeting clouds!

After separating from the stool.

Chen Fan returned to the house.

He opened the bag of medicinal herbs and found a few pieces of silver inside.

This made him smile knowingly, and he then tossed it aside.

Living in the palace meant he had no shortage of food and clothing, so money meant little to Chen Fan.

Especially since he was on duty at the Imperial Horse Stables, the silver was of little use to him.

Over time, the amount of loose silver coins accumulated.

After arriving at the Imperial Stables, Xiao Dengzi also knew where Chen Fan kept his silver.

This kid doesn't have money to buy medicine, so he naturally has to get it from him.

After the initial exchange, Chen Fan wouldn't ask how much was spent inside, and even if Xiao Dengzi stole a few coins, he wouldn't know.

But this little eunuch was honest and didn't like doing this kind of thing.

Chen Fan, who liked this personality, sighed and then examined the medicinal herbs separately.

There is half a ginseng root, two slices of Polygonum multiflorum, and three pieces of Polygonatum sibiricum.

Chen Fan picked up the ginseng and looked at it, then took out a golden bowl and placed it on the table.

With a forceful squeeze, he crushed half a ginseng root into crumbs and placed them in a bowl.

After getting the kettle, Chen Fan skillfully poured himself a drink.

After drinking the ginseng water, he crushed and soaked the Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonatum sibiricum in water.

Chen Fan stopped drinking six bowls of water in a row.

With his belly round and full, he burped and hurriedly ran to the urinal to relieve himself.

After feeling more comfortable, Chen Fan returned to his bed to cultivate.

As soon as he began to circulate the Everlasting Spring Technique, he felt the spiritual energy in his dantian increase significantly.

Overjoyed, he swallowed hard and began to close his eyes and cultivate.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, the snow in the capital city of Dayuan has not stopped.

This led the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to submit a memorial to the Emperor, saying that this year's auspicious snowfall foretells a bumper harvest, a truly auspicious sign!

The emperor was so pleased that he granted a general amnesty and also gave the palace eunuchs and maids a lot of food.

Even Chen Fan, who was on duty at the Imperial Horse Administration, received significantly more New Year's gifts than in previous years from the Directorate of Ceremonial.

He received all sorts of tributes, including imperial fruits, imperial wine, and dried meat.

Compared to some powerful eunuchs in the palace, he was much more accomplished.

Chen Fan didn't find it strange.

After he turned seventy, the emperor placed him under the special supervision of the Directorate of Ceremonial.

In the past, when he was in poor health, imperial physicians would come to see him personally.

This wasn't because the emperor was showing compassion to the eunuchs, but rather because there had always been a saying in the Da Yuan Kingdom.

It is said that living to seventy years old is considered a long life, and in folk tradition, it is an auspicious sign.

Local officials in power will therefore be seen as good administrators and good officials.

Similarly, if placed in the palace, the current emperor also hopes to be a good emperor who governs the country effectively.

So sometimes Chen Fan felt that being old actually had some advantages, such as having people come to take care of him during holidays.

"Godfather, this royal fruit is delicious, you should have some too..."

In the kitchen, Chen Fan shook his head slightly as he looked at the royal fruit handed to him by the small stool.

With a smile on his face, he simply rubbed his hands together, stood up, and said:

"It's getting colder, keep an eye on the horses, remember..."

"I'll remember, Godfather, take care!" Little Stool nodded slightly.

Watching his aged figure depart, he felt that his godfather didn't have much time left.

Thinking about all this, Xiao Dengzi felt a lump in his throat for no apparent reason.

After leaving the kitchen.

Chen Fan, who had been hunched over, straightened up.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and he exuded an astonishing aura!

After three days and three nights of continuous cultivation, Chen Fan finally broke through to the Iron Skin Realm last night.

Now that he could shatter a bluestone with a single slap, he felt much stronger.

On this snowy day, Chen Fan felt he could go without clothes.

Lost in thought, he walked step by step into the vegetable garden.

Upon closer inspection, the large white radishes in that small plot of land had already taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously.

They're growing so well, I feel like they'll be ready to eat in less than two weeks!

Not in a hurry, Chen Fan glanced at it twice and then habitually used the water that had been soaked in the golden bowl to fertilize it.

After doing all this, he took out a red Vermilion Fruit from his pocket.

This is a royal fruit bestowed by the emperor upon the eunuchs. It is called Chiyuan Fruit and has a sweet and sour taste. It is a good choice to cut through the richness of food.

For older people like Chen Fan, eating this might cause their teeth to feel sensitive!

Unhurriedly, he found an empty spot, then used a hoe to dig a hole and planted the fruit.

Chen Fan also remembered to water and fertilize the plants.

Overjoyed, he thought that by spring, the fruit should have taken root, sprouted, and broken through the soil!

Thinking of all this, Chen Fan turned around and went back into the house.

Sitting at the table, he habitually took out the golden bowl.

It was vaguely visible that there was a large bag of medicinal herbs piled on the table, which contained ginseng, he shou wu, and huang jing.

Since Chen Fan used it to make tea last time, he felt that his spiritual power had increased a lot.

So he specially asked Xiaodengzi to go to the pharmacy to buy these medicinal herbs again.

After finishing his work each day, Chen Fan would soak the medicinal herbs and withered leaves in water and drink the resulting liquid.

The golden bowl remains the same as before; it can only hold six bowls of water. Any more than that and it loses its flavor!

Chen Fan wasn't greedy; having something to drink was better than having nothing at all.

Just a few days ago he was an old eunuch on his deathbed, but now he has already entered the Iron Skin Realm!

This was all thanks to the golden bowl, and he always kept it in mind.

Lost in thought, Chen Fan habitually crushed the medicinal herbs and steeped them in water to drink.

After drinking six large bowls of wine, he sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

As time passed quickly, it gradually got dark.

As midnight approached, Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

His expression changed slightly as he stared at the door, then he quickly lay down in bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep!

Squeak...

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, making a barely perceptible sound, and a figure dressed in black slipped in...
