Chapter 325 Little Stool Breaks Through to Foundation Establishment Stage! Old Friends Meet Again!
The night passed quickly.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan woke up as usual.
He stretched his back, then got up, dressed, and went out.
Squeak...
Pushing open the door and looking up, I saw a howling wind and heavy snow falling outside!
Snowflakes, each the size of a goose feather, drifted freely through the air.
"Wow, so much snow..."
Chen Fan smiled as he caught a snowflake in his hand, then instinctively wrapped his coat tighter and walked toward the horse pen!
Having not fed horses for a long time, he was slightly excited.
Hiss hiss hiss…
Inside the stables, the imperial horses were trembling with fear.
Clearly, the heavy snow had frozen them pretty badly!
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled and then picked up some hay to feed the animals.
While feeding the horses, he also made sure to thaw the ice water in the stone trough!
After finishing these tasks, Chen Fan turned and walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Dengzi, who was still in seclusion breaking through his cultivation barrier.
He sat cross-legged on the pile of firewood, as still as an old monk in deep meditation.
Seeing this, Chen Fan didn't disturb them, but quietly tended the fire and kept the water warm.
As the room warmed up, he went and brought in some more firewood!
As before, Chen Fan sat in front of the stove, squinting and warming himself by the fire.
Feeling the warmth from his palms, a smile appeared on his face.
Just then, the little stool woke up.
After a night of seclusion, he finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
His body radiated a powerful aura, and he quickly broke through from the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage to the third level!
This surprised Chen Fan slightly when he saw it.
He had always found his godson's talent for cultivation a mystery!
"Godfather... your son has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!" Little Stool exclaimed joyfully upon waking up.
"So this is the Foundation Establishment stage... It's definitely different from the Qi Refining stage..."
"Great talent that has been building up over time, not bad," Chen Fan praised.
"The path of cultivation is arduous; you still have a long way to go!"
"Your son will heed your teachings, Godfather." Xiao Dengzi clasped his hands slightly.
Without saying much, Chen Fan nodded.
With his eyes half-closed, he got up and walked outside again.
He had been back in the palace all night and hadn't gone out for a stroll yet. He wondered if the Imperial Garden was still as beautiful as it had been.
Leave the Imperial Stables.
With his hands behind his back, Chen Fan walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Having mastered the entire Imperial City Array, he could clearly see everything in any place.
However, Chen Fan had no interest in doing that; on the contrary, he strengthened the formation as he walked.
Having used all his knowledge, he was also filled with anticipation to see just how powerful this imperial city formation really was!
After all, when Chen Fan left a year ago, this formation should have had little problem blocking cultivators in the early stages of Core Formation.
Now he has integrated some of the essence of the Qingyun Sect's mountain-sealing formation, and the formation's power has skyrocketed again!
"We still need to wait for the right person..."
Chen Fan smiled to himself and continued walking forward.
He hadn't walked far when he happened to pass by Tai'an Pond.
Looking around, the Imperial Garden and Tai'an Pond were both covered in a silvery white blanket of snow.
Even the lake was either frozen or covered in snow!
But right there in the middle of the lake, someone was fishing.
The man was wearing a straw hat and a cloak, looking like an old fisherman, which gave him a unique and charming appearance!
"Pah... What a piece of trash... still pretending!"
Chen Fan glanced at it twice, then spat and left.
The person fishing in the center of the lake was none other than Emperor Jianwen.
Having already reached the Core Formation stage, he naturally heard his master's words clearly.
His face flushed red, he sighed, and simply continued fishing!
After passing by Tai'an Pond.
Chen Fan then made his way to the library.
I heard from Emperor Jianwen that Xiao Wu brought back all the books from the Three Kingdoms period, and now the library has a million books!
Upon hearing this news, he naturally came to take a look.
As Chen Fan entered the gate, he soon discovered that the library was completely empty.
With a smile on his face, he shook his head inwardly, then swaggered into the house.
As before, he chose to read in the attic.
Before reading the book, Chen Fan took out Yin Ping Mei and admired it once.
Only after achieving inner peace did he continue reading.
As the saying goes, reading makes one wise and calms one's mind.
As soon as Chen Fan picked up the book, he immediately entered a state of complete absorption.
At this point, he was no longer the kind, honest, righteous, and warm-hearted old eunuch, but had transformed into a young eunuch who loved reading.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Fan, who had read more than thirty books, finally stopped.
Feeling somewhat tired, he subconsciously wanted to get up and leave.
But as they descended from the attic, a familiar figure came into view.
It was a little boy of five or six years old, dressed in fine clothes, who was reading at the table.
Upon noticing Chen Fan, he paused for a moment, then stood up and said:
"Xiao Ju... greets you, sir..."
"We meet again..." Chen Fan said with a smile when he saw his old friend.
"What books are you reading?"
"The Annals of Emperors..." Xiao Ju answered truthfully.
"Okay..." Chen Fan nodded and said:
"It's a good thing you enjoy reading. I'm off!"
Without further ado, Chen Fan braved the heavy snow and left the library.
Standing there stunned, Xiao Ju swallowed hard and placed the Imperial Annals in his hand on the table.
Having been sent here by his grandfather, he seemed to have sensed something!
"Is that him..."
Xiao Ju shook his head slightly as he muttered to himself, then continued reading.
……
We left the Sutra Repository.
Chen Fan then decided to return to the Imperial Horse Stables!
But when he passed by the Imperial Garden, he ran into an acquaintance.
This man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and strong, wearing golden armor, with an exceptionally handsome face. He was none other than Xiao Wu, whom we hadn't seen for a long time!
"Master... I've missed you so much... You're finally back!"
Xiao Wu, who had come specifically to find his master, was also extremely excited and immediately gave him a bear hug.
"Don't hug me...don't hug me...this is outrageous!"
Startled, Chen Fan quickly backed away and said:
"Eunuch, men are different, please have some self-respect!"
"Master..." Xiao Wu said coquettishly.
"I haven't seen you in so long... I miss you so much!"
Chen Fan nodded and smiled.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, a hint of fright in his eyes.
After spending a year at the Qingyun Sect, he learned many minor spells, including the Qi Observation Technique.
Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Wu's head and could easily see a rainbow shooting into the sky from the top of his head, which was the great abyss's rising national fortune!
No wonder Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yongle wanted to give the throne to this kid; it must be the will of Heaven!
Furthermore, this child has a deep connection with him, so it's naturally a matter of cause and effect!
Having figured this out, Chen Fan felt completely overwhelmed and said:
"We've read all the books in the library... You're very thoughtful..."
"Master, Zhang Ru also brought back some of those books," Xiao Wu nodded.
"He has traveled to eight countries over the years and brought back quite a few books."
"That young man?" Chen Fan recalled.
"We were just saying it casually, and he... actually went and traveled to eight countries?"
