Chapter 1: Starting with the Sunflower Manual


    Grand Xia Imperial Court.


    The Cold Pce, Central Region Imperial City.


    Lin Ping looked up at the dpidated and deste imperial pce in front of him. Then, he remembered what he had said to imperial maid Nan Xiang this morning and could not help but shiver.


    "Even though I, Lin Ping, am a mere eunuch, I''m a eunuch with moral character!


    "You, Nan Xiang, want to demand sexual services from me? Impossible!


    "Even if you assign me to the cold pce to die, I will definitely not agree!"


    Then, after rejecting her in the morning, he was assigned to the cold pce in the afternoon.


    When Lin Ping thought about this, he was so furious that he was incensed.


    He was truly irritated!


    Lin Ping''s soul did not belong to this world: it had transmigrated here.


    Transmigration was not rare and happened every day. However, Lin Ping simply could not stand bing a castrated eunuch in the imperial pce after transmigrating here.


    His name was Lin Ping, in hopes that he could live a peaceful life, but he did not want to be like Lin Pingzhi!


    However, what was even worse was that after he had just transmigrated and became a eunuch, an old imperial maid over the age of 30 wanted to demand sexual favors from him on the basis of his young and handsome looks!


    Of course, Lin Ping would not ept this!


    Wasn''t this bullying the honest?


    I am not a simp!


    I will not stick out my tongue so easily!


    Thus, Lin Ping was assigned to the cold pce in the afternoon.


    It turned out that the background of imperial maid Nan Xiang was not simple. While she bullied young and handsome eunuchs like Lin Ping, she served the Directorate of Ceremonial''s head eunuch, Zhang Yaoting. The two of them were even lovers!


    Thus, it was not difficult for her to send Lin Ping to the Changmen Pce.


    The Changmen Pce was the cold pce.


    It was also the ce where Her Majesty Chun Fei was staying in.


    As for exactly what crime Her Majesty Chun Fei hadmitted and why she was sent to the cold pce by the emperor, no one knew.


    However, only two out of all the imperial maids that had been banished there three years ago were still alive. Furthermore, the emperor had never visited the Changmen Pce nor sent anyone there to deliver any messages.


    One could imagine that Chun Fei no longer had the hope of being spoiled by the emperor in this lifetime and could only die of old age here.


    This was fine. After all, being a eunuch was the same everywhere else, and life in the cold pce was only slightly tougher and harder to endure. However, what was more taxing to the eunuchs was the fact that the current Changmen Pce was a "damned pce"!


    If ordinary eunuchs served there, they would not live long and would not be able to survive.


    After all, ever since Chun Fei was sent to the cold pce, a eunuch would typically die after a period of time. Till present, no eunuch that had entered Changmen Pce had lived for more than half a year!


    Over the past three years, over ten eunuchs had met their deaths there!


    Every time Changmen Pce was recruiting new eunuchs, the lowest ss of eunuchs in the pce would tremble in fear of being assigned there.


    "Don''t stand around. Enter!" A thin and old eunuch, who wore a blue round-cored shirt with a white egret embroidered at the chest, was holding a horsetail whisk. He spoke to Lin Ping with a sharp voice, "If you are chosen to be sent to the cold pce, you cannot me anyone else but yourself for having a poor life. When you reincarnate in your next life, your eyes have to be sharper. You have to clearly see which people you cannot offend!"


    Then, the old eunuch left.


    "Hu~~"


    Lin Ping stood at the door. His expression changed several times before he took a deep breath and knocked on therge door.


    Since he was already here, there was no way to escape. He would just go in and take a look.


    At the very worst, he would die!


    In any case, living was not much better than death.


    Just as Brother Xun had once said, "Some live when they are already dead. Some have died but are still alive."


    Hm? Did Brother Xun say this?


    Bang bang bang!


    After knocking on the door and waiting for a long time, there was a cracking noise from the dpidated door when it was opened from the inside. An imperial maid, who had her hair in a high bun and wore a pale blue skirt that swept across the ground, walked out. She saw Lin Ping standing outside the door and coldly asked, "Are you the new eunuch? What''s your name?"


    "Sister Yun Su, I am Lin Ping," Lin Ping hurriedly replied.


    "Then I''ll call you Little Lin from now on. Come in."


    The imperial maid led the way and calmly said, "The eunuchs they sent over this time are not ugly. You look rather intelligent, so why were you assigned to Changmen Pce? Who did you offend? Forget it, these are not important. Work hard after youe here. If you perform well, perhaps you can live slightly longer"


    Beforeing, Lin Ping had heard about the situation in Changmen Pce from his roommate, a fellow eunuch. Thus, he roughly knew some information.


    The imperial maid was called Yun Su, and she was Chun Fei''s personal servant. She had apanied Chun Fei when she first entered the pce. Later on, when Chun Fei was sent to the cold pce, she only brought Yun Su.


    Over the past three years, the eunuchs in Changmen Pce had continually died one after another, yet this imperial maid had always lived well.


    From the looks of things, her identity was truly not ordinary. She waspletely different from those eunuchs.


    She had also simply warned Lin Ping that if he performed well, perhaps he could live slightly longer!


    Just as Lin Ping was thinking about how to be friendly and polite, he was suddenly dumbfounded.


    <em>[Congrattions to Host for sessfully activating the Registration System.]</em>


    <em>[The System will refresh once every three days. As long as Host checks into the stipted location, you will receive rewards.]</em>


    <em>[Current Check In Location: Changmen Pce.]</em>


    <em>[You have reached the Check In Location. Would you like to check in?]</em>


    Check in?


    Was this a cheat?


    Lin Ping''s mind instantly operated swiftly, although his defenses were muddled by this pleasant surprise.


    Transmigration happened every day, so the Golden Finger was also a natural urrence! There was no need to make a fuss out of nothing.


    He had to remain steady and could not be carried away with joy.


    "I will check in!" Lin Ping silently shouted in his heart.


    <em>[Ding! Congrattions to Host for sessfully checking in. You have received the "Sunflower Manual".]</em>


    When Lin Ping heard the notification sound from the System, he tightly clenched the fists he had hidden in his sleeves.


    The Sunflower Manual?


    Was his beginning so impressive?


    If he was not a eunuch but had assumed another identity, Lin Ping would have definitely cursed if the System rewarded him with the Sunflower Manual.


    But now, it had arrived at the right time!


    What was the most opportune thing to a eunuch?


    Of course it was the Sunflower Manual!


    Crash!


    A vast wave of information instantly surged through Lin Ping''s mind. These were the secret records and passages regarding the Sunflower Manual.


    <em>"To learn these mystic skills, you must castrate yourself!"</em>


    <em>"To cultivate this skill, you must first nurture your heart. There cannot be any distracting thoughts in your heart, and you must be above worldly considerations. If there are distracting thoughts in your heart, not only will it be inefficient, your life will also be in danger." </em>


    As several passages from the Sunflower Manual appeared in Lin Ping''s head, he alsoprehended many abstruse and obscure meanings of cultivation at the same time.


    <em>"During this time, you should calm your heart and fill it with essential qi. Abandon the distracting thoughts in your heart, and imagine that a fairy from heaven has arrived with a sweet fragrance. Then, your qi will rise from your dantian</em><em>"</em>


    This meant that after he checked in, not only did the System reward Lin Ping with the unique and mystical skill "Sunflower Manual", it had also helped him resolve various predicaments in his path of cultivation!


    Aspared to others, the speed at which he cultivated this mystical skill would be


    No. He would be 10 times, even 100 times, faster than other eunuchs!


    He would be able to be an expert in a very short span of time. When the time came, he would have a certain level of ability to defend himself. He would not casually die like an extra on stage.


    Lin Ping, who had been ready to die, was now truly alive.


    Since the System was here, he had hope; with the System, even eunuchs could regain their masculinity!


    After all, from the books that Lin Ping had read in his past life, this should be a martial arts world. Experts could move mountains and fill the seas and even sever rivers in one sh!


    If his aplishments were good enough and he learned a particr skill, it was not impossible for that part of him to "revive"!


    "Little Lin, why are you standing dumbfounded at the door? Hurry up ande in!"


    Yun Su had realized that there was no sound of footsteps behind her and turned around to see Lin Ping standing dazedly at the door. She could not help but furrow her eyebrows.


    This eunuch seemed rather intelligent, so he shouldn''t be an idiot, right?


    If he was really stupid, he might not even survive a month.


    "Ah I''ming."


    Lin Ping, who had collected his reward, recovered from his shock. Then, he hurriedly jogged forward.
