Chapter 51 Godfather! The Emperor is dead! He wants you to be buried with him!
Chapter 51 Godfather! The Emperor is dead! He wants you to be buried with him!
The old man from Baicaotang pondered for a moment.
He then held up his hand and showed three fingers.
One radish can be exchanged for three spirit stones.
Chen Fan remained outwardly calm but inwardly overjoyed, squinting his eyes without saying a word.
"Four low-grade spirit stones, that's the highest price." Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, the old man held up another finger.
"Deal." Chen Fan smiled slightly.
The old man was also quite pleased.
Without putting the radish away, he turned around and took out four shiny, silvery-white spirit stones from his pocket.
"Cash on delivery is our rule at Baicaotang. If you still have this radish, we'll still buy it at this price. Also, please leave your name."
"My name is Wei Zhong." Chen Fan nodded as he accepted the spirit stone.
When he received the spirit stone for the first time, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Without making a sound, he immediately put it in his arms and turned to leave.
After everyone left, the old man from Baicaotang went outside.
"Wei Zhong...could he be a eunuch? Why does he smell of urine?"
He muttered to himself and shook his head inwardly.
They thought to themselves that they didn't care whether the other party was a eunuch or not.
Having acquired another valuable medicinal herb, he turned and went back into the house...
……
Leaving Baicaotang.
Chen Fan didn't want to stay in the market for even a second longer.
Carefully, he retraced his steps and soon returned to the gate inscribed with the four characters "Da Yuan Dynasty".
On the way back.
Chen Fan also discovered similar portals such as the Great Chu and the Great Qin.
If he hadn't guessed, this should be a passageway for trade between the eight countries.
An underground black market that can connect powerful figures from eight countries must be backed by some powerful force.
Chen Fan was astonished by the mystery surrounding this market.
Without lingering, he turned and went inside.
Chen Fan came from the courtyard in the southeast corner of Chang'an Street in the Imperial City of Dayuan.
But when he went out, he was no longer in the capital!
Looking around, the surrounding desolate mountains and wilderness clearly indicate that it is the outskirts of the country.
Having been here several times, Chen Fan was quite familiar with the surroundings.
He glanced back at the pitch-black cave and felt a surge of desire to go inside.
However, it was hindered by the power of the market.
Chen Fan still didn't take the risk.
After taking a quick look, he ran straight towards the imperial city!
Early the next morning.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan opened his eyes right on time.
He got up, dressed, and went out, eventually arriving at the horse pen.
It is faintly visible.
The imperial horses were eagerly waiting for Chen Fan to feed them.
They smelled terrible, and occasionally a few mosquitoes would fly around them.
Chen Fan, without any hesitation, fed the fodder to everyone and then headed towards the top-tier room.
hiss…
As soon as the old eunuch arrived, the spirited Black Wind stretched its neck and hissed.
"Why are you rushing me... We're already here."
Chen Fan glanced at the glutton and casually tossed a large white radish to him.
hiss…
Black Wind was also excited. He opened his mouth and bit the radish, which was as thick as a calf, into two pieces, chewing it with a crunch.
Too lazy to look any further, Chen Fan shook his head inwardly before heading towards the kitchen.
"Godfather, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has passed away..."
Just got to the door.
The little stool ran out crying.
What?
The old emperor is dead!
Chen Fan, who was squinting, was taken aback and said:
"When did this happen? How come we didn't know?"
"Around the hour of Yin (3-5 AM)," the little stool answered truthfully.
"The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs has sent someone to inform everyone that they must wear mourning clothes for the Emperor and observe three days of mourning..."
Chen Fan nodded.
When Emperor Taiyuan passed away, the royal family did the same thing.
Before he knew it, he had seen two emperors pass away.
With the addition of the new emperor, Chen Fan can be considered a veteran of three reigns!
It's really strange that a eunuch can live so long.
"Don't cry, it's just mourning clothes," Chen Fan said, unsurprised.
"Just do it the way you normally would, there's no difference."
"But... Godfather," Little Stool said, his voice trembling.
"Little Stool heard rumors in the palace... that the Emperor demands you and Black Wind be buried alive together!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's face twitched.
With a cold expression, he said in a hoarse voice:
"really?"
"Little Stool doesn't know either," Little Stool said, shaking his head as he cried.
"But this news came from the Directorate of Ceremonial, so it's most likely... almost certainly true."
Chen Fan panicked.
He hadn't died of old age, but he never expected to be captured and buried alive by the old emperor.
This is such a huge joke!
At this moment.
Chen Fan was even considering running away.
Having lived to be eighty, he understood very well that one must not panic or rush when faced with problems.
The more rushed you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes; the more flustered you are, the more chaotic things become.
After a moment of calm, Chen Fan paused and said:
"There's nothing to cry about. It's an honor for our family to be buried with the emperor... Little Stool, go give Black Wind a bath, prepare it for its burial in the imperial mausoleum!"
"Yes... Godfather." Little Stool nodded almost while crying.
Looking at his expressionless godfather, he felt helpless.
Thinking that his godfather had not died of old age or illness, but was now to be buried with the emperor, he felt utterly miserable.
But aside from feeling sorry for his godfather, Xiao Dengzi couldn't do anything else.
Thinking of all this, he quickly went to give Black Wind a bath...
……
He heard that the emperor wanted him to be buried with him.
Chen Fan didn't stay in the kitchen for long either.
Back in his house, he continued his daily routine as usual.
It is faintly visible.
Four silver-white low-grade spirit stones appeared on his table.
They are sparkling and exude a rich spiritual energy, both inside and out.
According to what Eunuch Wei said.
Besides being used as currency, spirit stones can also be used for cultivation.
The spiritual energy contained in a single low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to that of ten Guiyuan Pills.
Of course, compared to Chen Fan's triple Rejuvenation Pill, this low-grade spirit stone is still far inferior.
He held it in his hand, looked at it for a couple of seconds, and then tossed it into the golden bowl.
as predicted.
Just as Chen Fan had guessed, the spirit stone changed after it entered the bowl.
But as things changed, he suddenly became a little unsettled.
This time, the golden bowl didn't purify the spirit stones; instead, it ate them!
Just like eating fruit, the spirit stone gradually dissolved at the bottom of the bowl, leaving not a trace.
Chen Fan, who was stunned, swallowed hard.
For a moment, I didn't understand what had happened.
He picked up the golden bowl and examined it carefully, and soon noticed something unusual.
Visible to the naked eye.
The golden dragon encircling the surface of the golden bowl underwent a slight change.
That's because one of its dragon scales turned crimson red!
Although the golden dragon has countless scales, Chen Fan still noticed this subtle change.
It should be noted that since he dripped blood to bind the golden bowl to his master, it has not shown any unusual changes for a long time.
Now that this spirit stone has caused a slight change, Chen Fan believes it is definitely a good thing.
Encouraged, he then put the remaining three spirit stones into the bowl.
Instantly, just like the first spirit stone, these three spirit stones were also devoured by the golden bowl until not a trace remained.
And three more of the dragon scales on the golden dragon turned red.
The four crimson dragon scales are connected in a line, making them extremely eye-catching!
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan's eyes also flashed with a sharp light...
