Chapter 201 The Spirit Insect Golden Cicada! The Truth Behind the Sacrifice to Heaven!
Even the cicada that had been lying on the ground as if dead finally moved!
With its eyes bloodshot, it let out a low growl, then landed on the centipede to suck its blood, flesh, and essence!
Visible to the naked eye!
The centipede seemed to be doing it willingly, offering almost no resistance.
In no time at all, it was eaten by the cicadas, leaving not a single feather behind.
Chen Fan, who witnessed all of this, felt his hair stand on end!
His intuition told him!
This cicada is definitely not simple!
Overjoyed, Chen Fan then took out the golden cicada!
He used his divine sense to firmly hold down the object placed on the table!
The cicada, which tried to struggle and escape, was completely unable to move.
"Good worm...let us take a look at you..."
Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
He immediately bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and sprinkled it on the cicada.
At the same time, his divine consciousness was gradually imprinted on his body!
In no time at all!
The insect then became quiet again!
It, which was previously full of wildness, now appears exceptionally docile!
Chen Fan looked at the things he had picked up with his hands, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips!
I thought to myself that the reason why this insect could make the centipede willingly die was actually related to one of its own abilities!
That's an illusion!
Whether it's a frog, a snake, a ferret, or a centipede!
The moment they saw the cicada, they were already controlled and began to fight each other.
Even after the strongest insect is born, it will only become its meal!
According to the records in the Book of Poisonous Insect Breeding.
These cicadas are mostly a type of spirit insect.
Unlike ordinary poisonous insects, these insects are much stronger!
If properly nurtured, it might even become a demon beast in the future!
Chen Fan swallowed hard, feeling like he had found a treasure, and then put it into his pocket!
He figured he'd have to get some insect swarms when he had time!
As for what kind of insect swarm to create, he hasn't decided yet!
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Fan then sat cross-legged to meditate and cultivate…
……
The night passed quickly.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
As always, Chen Fan woke up at this point.
With a slight smile, he exhaled a breath of stale air.
After stretching his back, Chen Fan got dressed and went out!
Squeak...
Push open the door and look up!
It started snowing heavily again.
As snowflakes fell, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the palace walls and the ground.
Chen Fan followed along, taking one step at a time, towards the kitchen.
"Godfather...please have a seat...the hot tea is ready!"
As soon as I arrived at the door, a small stool came out to greet me.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Fan could easily see that the little eunuch had broken through to the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm!
He was incredulous and secretly alarmed!
Keep in mind that Xiao Dengzi broke through the Houtian level less than half a month ago!
How long has it been? He has already reached the Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow!
At this rate, this little eunuch will probably break through to the Innate Realm after the New Year!
"It's cold...we should have some hot tea..." Chen Fan nodded calmly and sat down in front of the stove.
After taking the teacup and sipping it, he could easily tell that this was tea served to the emperor in the palace.
Even during the reign of Emperor Hongwu, he wouldn't have been entitled to a single sip!
Unexpectedly, after his godson became the Grand Eunuch, he, an old eunuch who raised horses, was also qualified to drink the same tea as the emperor!
"Godfather, the tea is good, isn't it..." Little Stool said with a squinting smile:
"This is new tea sent from the former territory of the Yan Kingdom...it's very fresh!"
"Hmm...not bad...93% rare..." Chen Fan nodded!
When Xiao Dengzi saw his godfather smile, he smiled too.
While massaging his shoulders and back, he gossiped:
"Godfather, the Emperor is going to offer sacrifices to Heaven in the suburbs in a couple of days... I heard it's going to be very lively... Do you want to go and see?"
A sacrificial ceremony to Heaven?
Upon hearing this news for the second time, Chen Fan was taken aback and said:
"Offering sacrifices to Heaven..."
Little Stool understood immediately and told everyone he knew!
Chen Fan frowned after hearing this!
It turned out that the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven was indeed as he had thought; there was more to it than met the eye.
According to Xiaodengzi.
The royal family's so-called "sacrifice to Heaven" was, on the surface, an appeal to the heavens, praying for favorable weather and a prosperous nation!
But behind the scenes, the royal family's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven was actually a sacrifice to the Changchun Emperor for the fate of the Great Yuan Kingdom, which was essentially an offering of incense!
As for what constitutes national fortune and incense offerings, Xiaodengzi isn't quite sure!
But Chen Fan knew perfectly well!
Emperor Jianwen practiced secret incense-burning techniques!
This is the royal family's cultivation method!
Apart from the emperor, all the princes and other members of the imperial family practiced cultivation!
After Emperor Jianwen made such a fuss, it became an open secret.
Now that Emperor Yongle is going to offer sacrifices to Heaven, it is tantamount to transferring the incense-burning kingdom of Dayuan to Changchun Sect!
Was this voluntary or forced?
Chen Fan shook his head inwardly!
He vaguely remembered that Ling Huanzi had said that.
The Changchun Sect is currently in the midst of a new sect leader taking office, and two factions within the sect are vying for power.
In addition, they are surrounded by external enemies!
The Changchun Sect is currently unable to extend its reach into the Great Abyss!
As his thoughts raced, Chen Fan felt that the affairs of the royal family were far too complicated!
He felt that as long as he got involved with the behemoth that was Changchun Sect, he was going to be in trouble.
Especially when I think of Xuanmiaozi that night!
Chen Fan was even more terrified!
Foundation building!
Only by establishing his foundation can he protect himself!
A sense of crisis welled up in Chen Fan's heart!
Then.
After chatting with Xiaodengzi for a while, Chen Fan hurriedly left!
On his way back to the house, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast before diving into his bowl!
A world within a bowl.
courtyard.
Eunuch Wei was lying on a chair, basking in the sun.
He squinted, looking relaxed and at ease.
"Why aren't you farming... what are you doing here...?"
Just as Eunuch Wei was preparing to take a short rest.
But then the old eunuch appeared out of nowhere!
With a dark expression, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Farm? Farm what? Your horse and cat have eaten all our poultry... You might as well eat us too!"
Chen Fan: "..."
Chen Fan was speechless.
Thinking to myself, this bad thing was clearly Xiao Hua's doing, and Hei Fenggan's doing, so how did it end up being blamed on him?
Too lazy to pay attention, Chen Fan shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the Yin Corpse Sect!
On the way.
Chen Fan then took out the incomplete formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Since buying the formula, he hasn't had time to study it.
It's not that Chen Fan didn't want to.
Rather, his level of understanding was too low at that time, and it wasn't time for him to conduct research.
But now Chen Fan has broken through to the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Realm!
It's only a few days away from perfection!
He should take this opportunity to prepare for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
The first thing he needs to prepare is the Foundation Establishment Pill!
After Chen Fan bought one Foundation Establishment Pill from Baicaotang and snatched one from Guitou Tuo, he felt that he had enough pills!
But in the end, he thought about it carefully!
Foundation Establishment Pills are so precious. If he could refine them, wouldn't that be another way to make money?
In addition, Chen Fan acquired the incomplete formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This gave him even more confidence in the matter!
Thinking and thinking.
He quickly arrived at the alchemy room.
Upon seeing the black furnace in front of him, Chen Fan smiled slightly!
Immediately afterwards, he took out the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had snatched from the Ghost Monk from his bosom!
After glancing at it twice, Chen Fan summoned Eleven to cut it into pieces...
