He Chuan was diligently cleaning up the library.

Eunuch Cui stood in the distance and watched for a while. He was very satisfied with He Chuan’s seriousness.

In fact, He Chuan had already noticed Eunuch Cui’s aura and pretended not to know.

“Little Chuan, tomorrow there will be a noble coming to our library to read books. You must clean up every corner and not let a single speck of dust. Tomorrow you need to be by their side. You don’t need to care about other places for the time being. Remember the rules of the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect your head!”

Eunuch Cui walked forward and touched the bookshelf with his hands. He was very satisfied when he saw that the bookshelf was very clean.

“Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Cui. I understand the rules!” He Chuan understood the rules of the Imperial Palace. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Speak less and do more.

As for who would come tomorrow, he presumably had a basic guess.

For Eunuch Cui to come and tell him personally, it must be a certain prince.

As for the emperor, it was not He Chuan’s turn to serve him.

However, he did not care who would come when the time came. He did not want to curry favor with anyone, and he was not interested in wealth and honor.

It was his wish to be able to sign-in here to cultivate peacefully.

After Eunuch Cui finished his instructions, he left.

He Chuan did not dare to be negligent. He spent the whole day cleaning up the library and cleaning up all the dead spots.

If he wanted to stay here, he could not let the people who came tomorrow find fault with him.

The sky went dark.

He Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged, was called out of his room by Eunuch Cui to prepare for the arrival of the nobles.

In fact, it was impossible for the nobles to come at this time, but the rules had always been like this.

If you arrived after the nobles, your head would definitely fall to the ground.

It had to be said that the customs of the feudal dynasty were so harsh.

If they served the emperor or the noble consort, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep for more than a few hours every day.

The library pavilion had its benefits.

“Little Chuan, you mustn’t make a mistake. Did you check yesterday…” Eunuch Cui kept nagging, afraid that He Chuan would make a mistake.

When the noble was angry, he would also be implicated.

“By the way, didn’t Eunuch Cui say that there are three people in our library? Why haven’t I seen them before?” He Chuan almost fell asleep listening to Eunuch Cui’s nagging.

He suddenly remembered that there was a eunuch whom he had never met before.

“You shouldn’t ask about this.” Eunuch Cui gave an excuse.

From before the rooster crowed until noon.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs led the way and escorted a young man in embroidered clothes into the library.

He Chuan and Eunuch Cui quickly bowed.

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the custom to kneel and worship, which made He Chuan feel relieved. Regardless of whether the other party was a prince or an emperor, he was not willing to kneel.

There were palace maids and eunuchs serving the nobles, so it was not He Chuan’s turn to step forward.

However, from the looks of it, it confirmed his guess that it should be a certain prince.

Otherwise, there would not be such ostentation.

Among them were a few eunuchs and palace maids. There was a faint aura on their bodies. It was obvious that they were martial artists. With his current strength, he was probably not a match for them.

Seeing that he was not involved in anything, He Chuan began to sign in today.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in. You are rewarded with Divine Ghostly Steps part one.]

After signing in, the system notification sounded again.

He Chuan carefully checked the introduction of the cultivation method in the system. “Divine Ghostly Steps” was a qinggong-type cultivation method.

When mastered to a minor level, one’s body would have lightning speed and be hard to point out like a ghost.

After completion, the movement method could bring special effects. A maximum of nine phantoms could appear, making the enemy unable to determine the location of the real body.

Not long after, the noble left the library with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

During this time, he did not even look at He Chuan, this young eunuch.

He Chuan entered the inner room to do the cleaning.

The room was still lit with high-grade sandalwood incense. Two plates of freshly cut fruits had not been touched at all. It could be seen that this noble was usually pampered to death.

He picked up a piece of fresh fruit and put it into his mouth. The taste was not bad.

During the time he spent in the library, his mouth was almost empty.

It was good to eat some fruit to supplement his nutrition.

After eating the fruit, he cleaned up cleanly.

He returned to his room and began to practice the Divine Ghost Steps.

This qinggong skill was very powerful.

When he moved within a small area, there was no sound.

Moreover, there were afterimages wherever he moved.

This qinggong skill was indeed powerful, but it also consumed a lot of internal energy.

He had to have a vast amount of internal energy.

He Chuan lived a monotonous life.

He cultivated in his room, signed in at the library, and cleaned up.

During this period of time, he received a lot of rewards. Not only did he receive pills and cultivation techniques, but he also received a treasured sword that could cut off hairs.

Unknowingly, He Chuan had already broken through to Houtian fourth stage after consuming pills, and he was only one step away from Houtian fifth stage.

Breaking through at the speed of a rocket would probably make many people find it hard to believe in themselves.

Recently, he had chatted with Eunuch Cui about some topics in the palace.

He knew that whether it was eunuchs or palace maids, they all had specialized martial artists.

In the Imperial Palace, there were martial arts palace and martial arts supervisors who specialized in training cultivators.

Martial Arts Palace was in charge of training palace maids, while martial arts supervisor was in charge of training eunuchs.

The inner courtyard of the imperial palace was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knew who was the hidden expert.

Moreover, if one wanted to be placed in an important position by the imperial family, one had to have a certain amount of strength.

Actually, this was very normal. The Great Zhou Dynasty was a martial arts world, so the Imperial Palace definitely needed to have a powerful martial arts force to support it.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the Emperor be just a decoration?

However, it was precisely because of this that He Chuan made up his mind to temporarily stay in the library pavilion. After all, everywhere was filled with danger.

Before he became a saint cultivator, it was best to keep a low profile.

In comparison, the library pavilion was much safer.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this year, He Chuan fully grasped the essence of Gougou Dao.

Every day, apart from cultivating inner strength, he would read books in the outer pavilion to relieve his boredom.

He had a very good understanding of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the past, many nobles from the palace had come to read books.

The emperor had even come twice.

However, the one who came the most often was the one he had seen for the first time.

This was because every time this noble came, He Chuan would be able to eat pastries and fruits.

He did not expect that the other nobles would leave nothing behind, like a starving ghost.

There was also the third eunuch. After a year, he had not seen what he looked like.

However, He Chuan did not mind. They were all eunuchs now, so there was nothing to be curious about.

In any case, they were missing the most important part.

Eunuch Cui was already very old. Other than the time when there were dignitaries coming over, he would not usually come over to see him.

He Chuan felt very comfortable living like this. It was rare for him to have peace and quiet.

And now, He Chuan had already broken through to Houtian ninth stage, so he could prepare for breaking through to Xiantian.

According to the records in the books, the breakthrough into Xiantian realm was extremely dangerous, and it was very easy for one to go into energy deviation.

At the very least, one’s meridians would be severed, and at the very most, one would die on the spot.

After a period of time, Eunuch Cui’s body became worse and worse.

He Chuan also decided to make the breakthrough.

He prepared all kinds of pills needed for the breakthrough which were all produced by the system.

Everything was ready, except what was crucial.

He Chuan began to break through. He originally thought that it would be like what was recorded in the books, extremely dangerous, but in reality, it was very easy.

It was probably because the effects of the pills that the system rewarded were too good, and that was why it was so easy.

And now that he had become a Xiantian cultivator, fighting ten Houtian cultivators was very easy.
