Chapter 78 Recharge your energy! Continue refining pills!
Leave the market.
Chen Fan returned to the Imperial Stables after dark.
As soon as he entered the house, he took out the spirit rice, monster meat, and spirit wine he had bought.
It was too unsafe to leave these things at the Imperial Stables, so Chen Fan decided to leave them with Eunuch Wei.
When he has time, he'll take it and try it to see what it tastes like.
Next came the alchemy furnace.
Standing about half a zhang tall, it appeared slightly more refined compared to the previous stove.
Chen Fan took it out and examined it carefully for a moment before tossing it into a corner of the room.
After a day of alchemy and working outside, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tired.
All he wants right now is a good night's sleep to recharge!
After tidying up, Chen Fan kicked his legs and lay down on the bed, falling fast asleep.
The night passed quickly.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan woke up on time. After a night's rest, he looked energetic and no longer as listless as he had been after refining pills the day before.
He got up, dressed, stretched his back, and then pushed open the door.
Squeak...
The sky is just beginning to lighten today, a clear sign of a sunny day.
Chen Fan squinted and looked up, then walked towards the horse pen.
"Godfather, you're here! The weather's nice today, looks like it'll be sunny!"
Xiao Dengzi is feeding the horses in the stable.
As soon as he saw his godfather arrive, he quickly came to his side to massage his shoulders and back.
"The weather is nice... Once the 'autumn tiger' passes, autumn will arrive. Before we know it, another year has almost passed!" Chen Fan said with a sigh, squinting his eyes.
"Yes, Godfather, another half a year has passed," Little Stool remarked.
"Unbeknownst to us, our family has been in the palace for over a year now."
Chen Fan smiled slightly.
The father and son then chatted idly for a while.
The conversation started with trivial matters in the palace and eventually turned to the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Godfather, I heard from the eunuchs at the Directorate of Ceremonial that the Embroidered Uniform Guard has been arresting people everywhere these past two days, and they say they're all arresting people connected to the immortal sects... What's going on here?!"
When asked, Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
After the old emperor died, he accidentally overheard Emperor Jianwen's little secret.
Now, just a few months have passed.
Clearly, the situation within the Great Abyss Dynasty has escalated from undercurrents to open and covert struggles.
As for when this struggle will erupt, Chen Fan has no idea.
Lost in thought, he smiled, stood up, and said:
"We're just horse breeders. Our job is to take good care of the horses; everything else is none of our business. We're leaving..."
"Godfather, take care..." Xiao Deng helped Chen Fan leave.
Leave the horse pen.
Chen Fan slowly returned to the house.
Meow…
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Little Flower lying on the alchemy furnace, licking her paws.
"You naughty cat... get down here, or your flirtatious antics will ruin our stove."
Chen Fan's eyes widened.
Xiao Hua was so frightened that she jumped off the stove.
It is faintly visible.
The cat was getting fatter and fatter, and its fur was thick, lush, and shiny.
Those two little eyes were shining; you could tell they weren't some ordinary cat.
Meow…
Just after being scolded by Chen Fan, it ran up to his lap and rubbed against him, clamoring for radish to eat.
"All you do is eat... Look how fat you've become... We must have been blind to have chosen you as our cat..."
Despite his words and criticisms, Chen Fan still smiled and fed Chen Fan a radish.
Meow…
Little Flower, having begged for food, let out a cry and, with a radish in her mouth, went under the bed to gnaw on it.
Chen Fan shook his head slightly upon seeing this.
He hadn't eaten "breakfast" yet, but he took out a radish, two mid-grade spirit stones, and six bowls of spirit water, which were indispensable.
After eating and drinking these things, Chen Fan's spiritual power began to surge.
Unperturbed, he immediately sat cross-legged and began circulating his qi throughout his body.
About an hour later, Chen Fan opened his eyes.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.
Feeling that his cultivation had increased significantly, he smiled.
While there's still plenty of time.
Chen Fan glanced at the alchemy furnace in the corner, then got up, picked it up, and disappeared on the spot!
A world within a bowl.
Ground.
Wei Gongzheng is weeding.
The radishes from the three acres of land will be ripe again in the second season.
He's already quite busy after just finishing planting sweet potatoes.
However, for the sake of cultivating immortality, Eunuch Wei was still determined to go all out!
As he was working hard, a figure appeared on the ridge of the field.
It was Chen Fan.
He was holding the alchemy furnace, a smile on his face.
"I'm busy..."
Upon hearing the question, Eunuch Wei nodded.
"Father-in-law...is this starting again?"
Chen Fan nodded as well.
He put down the alchemy furnace and casually waved his hand.
Immediately, spirit rice seeds, spirit wine, and demon beast meat appeared one after another.
"These are spirit rice seeds, spirit wine, and monster meat that our family brought back from the market," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"These are all good things. Go and prepare the meat and cook it later. As for the spirit rice seeds... use them to plant in the newly acquired land!"
Spirit rice seeds! Monster meat! Spirit wine!
Eunuch Wei was taken aback, and surprise appeared in his eyes as he said:
"Is your father-in-law so extravagant now?"
Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
Having made his fortune from radishes, he does indeed have some money now.
"These spirit rice, spirit wine, and demon beast meat are quite valuable," Chen Fan said as they walked, giving instructions.
"Do a good job, don't let our family down."
Eunuch Wei nodded.
He swallowed hard, glancing at the things on the ground, his eyes practically gleaming.
You should know that he used to be the Grand Eunuch of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a position second only to the emperor.
But things like spirit rice, spirit wine, and monster meat are things that the royal family cannot enjoy.
Normally, you can't even smell the aroma, let alone eat it!
On the contrary, the princes of the Zong clan who were granted fiefdoms enjoyed wine and meat at every meal and became quite fat.
Now, thanks to Eunuch Chen, Wei Zhong can also enjoy these things!
Overjoyed, he quickly put down his hoe and went home...
……
Leave the field.
Chen Fan once again ventured into the depths of the mist.
As he watched the increasing number of red clouds in the sky, a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
Unhurriedly, he then located the alchemy furnace.
Then Chen Fan took out the medicinal herbs he had obtained from the Imperial Medical Academy.
These are all used to refine the Guiyuan Pill.
After several explosions, he didn't have many medicinal herbs left.
If he fails five more times, Chen Fan will have to go to the Imperial Hospital again!
With his thoughts racing, Chen Fan threw the medicinal herbs into the furnace according to the proportions required for the Guiyuan Pill.
After starting the fire, he quietly stayed by his side.
It was faintly visible that as the temperature rose, the alchemy furnace, forged from cold iron, gradually turned red.
A wave of heat hit him, making Chen Fan squint.
Soon, an hour had passed!
The stove showed no signs of cracking, but there was no aroma of cinnabar emanating from it either.
Chen Fan, who was guarding this spot, frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
Judging from the normal alchemy time it used to take, this furnace should have exploded by now!
Even if it's not fried, the aroma of cinnabar should still waft from this furnace.
Having little experience in alchemy, Chen Fan sighed and could only grit his teeth and extinguish the furnace fire.
His expression changed when he lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace...
