Chapter 268 The Palace! Little Stool Understands!
Night fell over the imperial city.
At 3:45 AM (丑时三刻).
In the cracks between the blue bricks on the ground at the West Gate, an inconspicuous grain of sand moved.
Upon closer inspection, the grain of sand emitted a faint, luminous glow.
Even a Qi Refining Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to spot it unless they looked very closely.
And this sand is the golden bowl where Chen Fan is.
Hidden within, he released a wisp of his divine sense, quickly probing his surroundings!
After confirming that no one was lying in wait nearby.
Chen Fan immediately controlled the golden bowl and flew it towards the city gate!
Ten zhang!
Five feet!
Three zhang!
……
In the instant it passed through the gap in the city gate.
Chen Fan, hiding in the bowl, breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling relieved, he suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Look around.
The vast Chang'an Avenue was deserted.
Apart from a few soldiers guarding the city gate, there was no one else.
Chen Fan glanced at it and shook his head inwardly.
Using the Concealment Technique, he walked towards the palace like a ghost.
As he passed by some residences along the way, he could easily spot traces of some monks.
These cultivators varied greatly in their cultivation levels, with the strongest at the Foundation Establishment stage and the weakest at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.
Compared to Chen Fan's observations some time ago.
There are clearly more powerful beings in the Great Abyss now!
With a wistful expression, he smiled and continued walking forward.
Passing through the palace gate.
Chen Fan quickly arrived at the gate of the Imperial Horse Stable.
He squinted at it, then stepped inside.
He had originally planned to go straight back to his room to sleep, but he found two familiar faces sitting in front of the door!
One was Ji Daozi, and the other was Emperor Jianwen.
The two men guarding the door had different expressions when they saw the old eunuch return!
Jidouzi's face was filled with excitement and anger!
He gritted his teeth, wanting to curse, but in the end he didn't say it!
On the other hand, Emperor Jianwen smiled and said:
"Master, you're back..."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile on his face.
He glanced at Jidaozi, then waved his hand!
Instantly, he pulled the person in front of him into his bowl!
Emperor Jianwen was not surprised.
With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he chuckled softly:
"Master, shall we talk inside, or outside...?"
Chen Fan is also eighty years old.
Understanding Emperor Jianwen's meaning, he habitually sat down on the steps.
Emperor Jianwen, seeing this, did not try to hide it.
Having spent the last two days cleaning up his master's messes, he then launched into a long speech.
After he finished speaking, Chen Fan understood what the kid meant.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he didn't say anything.
"Master, I did this not to blackmail you..." Emperor Jianwen said with a smile.
"I only hope that if Da Yuan ever faces difficulties in the future, you can... lend him a helping hand!"
"No problem..." Chen Fan readily agreed.
This time, Tianxiangzi caused a great disturbance in the imperial city.
On the surface, everyone knows they've come to find Ji Daozi, but only Emperor Jianwen knows who they're secretly looking for.
Instead of betraying anyone, he actually helped Chen Fan.
This saved him a lot of trouble.
This is the cause!
As for how to repay this debt, Chen Fan will have to wait and see!
After discussing these matters, Emperor Jianwen said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Master, also... Yongle wants to see you..."
"I won't see you..." Chen Fan replied immediately.
Emperor Jianwen was not surprised when he heard the news.
You should know that Master is used to living in seclusion and does not like to compete for fame and fortune.
Having known this for a long time, he stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and left.
After the person left.
The Imperial Horse Stables were finally quiet.
Chen Fan, sitting on the bluestone steps, shook his head slightly.
Unable to sleep, he stretched his back and got up to walk towards the Imperial Garden!
I've been traveling around these past few days.
Secondly, being chased by that Core Formation old dog and dealing with Tianxiangzi's matter left Chen Fan mentally and physically exhausted!
His mind was in turmoil, and he seemed somewhat agitated again!
I felt a pang of emotion.
Chen Fan quickly arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Looking around, the garden is decorated with lanterns and colorful flags, and the atmosphere is full of the spirit of the New Year.
Chen Fan glanced around and felt much better.
As he passed by some array patterns, he casually fiddled with them for a bit.
as predicted.
Just as Chen Fan guessed, he had thoroughly mastered the Zhou Tian Grand Formation!
Even if he were to overturn the formation and start over now, he could do it easily.
The feeling of being in control filled him with immense joy.
Of course, now is not the time to set up the formation.
Chen Fan came to the Imperial Garden to study.
He walked through the path and soon arrived at the library.
Chen Fan picked up a few books at random and lay down in the attic to read.
When he got bored with reading, he took out Yin Ping Mei again to read.
After enjoying the beautiful books, Chen Fan picked up other books and studied them carefully.
Three hours passed quietly as I read.
It's almost dawn.
Chen Fan, engrossed in the book, stopped reading.
When he came to his senses, his face was full of contentment.
Read the stories and characters in the book, and appreciate the human relationships and principles within it.
Through these subtle details, Chen Fan seemed to have gained some new insights.
But he was still missing something, something that prevented him from truly understanding it.
Chen Fan smiled, not in a hurry.
He then closed the book and walked outside.
……
In the kitchen.
Xiao Dengzi frowned as he looked at the axe in his hand and the standing firewood.
He seemed to have grasped something, yet he still felt there were some things he couldn't understand.
He shook his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and then raised his axe and chopped down!
With a sharp axe, the firewood split in two.
Seeing this, Xiaodeng brought over some new wood and continued chopping firewood.
He was immersed in this state.
Completely unaware that Chen Fan had arrived behind them!
He squinted and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes when he saw the small stool!
A sudden realization!
It is important to know that each cultivator has different talents, and their future achievements will also be different.
Some cultivators are born with extraordinary talent, and their cultivation path is naturally smooth and easy!
However, some cultivators have average talent, so they naturally have to endure more hardships on their cultivation journey.
In Chen Fan's view, he belongs to the second type of person.
The small stool belongs to the first type of person.
At first, he thought this little eunuch was dull-witted and that he could only cultivate to the Innate Realm at most!
However, to Chen Fan's surprise,
Little Stool has an extraordinary talent!
If he hadn't gone astray recently, this little eunuch would probably have already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm!
My thoughts are in turmoil.
Chen Fan sat quietly on the threshold and waited.
As if possessed, the little stool, seemingly in a state of sudden enlightenment, kept repeating the action of chopping wood.
About an hour later.
The little stool suddenly stopped!
Immediately afterwards, the aura of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator began to emanate from his body!
He went from the first floor to the third floor in less than three breaths!
It's another case of accumulating strength before unleashing its power!
Chen Fan had never heard of such a breakthrough method before!
But there just happened to be one right next to him!
"Godfather... your son has broken through!"
Xiao Dengzi was overjoyed to have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.
Upon turning around and seeing her godfather arrive, she quickly shared the good news!
"We saw it..." Chen Fan said with a squinting smile:
"Slow and steady wins the race; this is your path. You can't rush things anymore... understand?"
"Your son will heed your teachings, Godfather," Little Stool said excitedly.
"By the way... Godfather, Jidaozi has been looking for you lately... He seems to be in big trouble!"
