Chen Nan had already suffered the backlash of the fire element laws.
Although the backlash was not very severe.
It was a real thing, however.
Even though the sisters Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing could help him suppress the fire poison.
It only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
And to treat the root cause was also very simple.
He only needed to break through his current realm.
As long as he could break through his current realm, he could control four percent of the fire element laws.
It was precisely for this reason.
That he had refined the Huaxing Dan.
But...
Should he break through or not?
Although not breaking through would lead to the torment of fire poison.
But still...
Being able to embrace two snake demons and sleep together was quite comfortable...
If he broke through.
He wouldn't be able to openly embrace the two sisters and sleep together.
It was quite a dilemma...
------
When Chen Nan arrived at the alchemy room with one hundred portions of medicinal ingredients for refining Huaxing Dan.
Everyone wore expressions of astonishment.
Why was he carrying a pile of medicinal ingredients?
What was he doing with this pile of medicinal ingredients?
Refining pills?
Or making a stew with these ingredients?
Bai Yu looked at Chen Nan, puzzled: "Lord Chen, what are you carrying so many medicinal ingredients for?"
"Do you really know how to refine pills?"
"If you don't know how to refine pills, you can admit defeat now."
"There's no need to waste the Demon Suppressing Division's medicinal ingredients."
She didn't know if Chen Nan could refine pills.
But she recognized that the medicinal ingredients in Chen Nan's arms were very rare.
And expensive!
Chen Nan completely ignored this woman. He looked at a member of the Demon Suppressing Division: "Start the timer!"
"Yes!" The other person quickly inverted the hourglass timer.
Chen Nan formed a seal with one hand.
Fierce flames surged from beneath the square cauldron.
Although he had obtained the fire element laws and refining pills was convenient.
But doing so would be unfair.
He didn't want that woman Bai Yu to find fault with him.
"Putting on a show, I'd like to see if you can refine a pill!" Bai Yu felt a surge of disdain in her heart. She immediately sat cross-legged, her expression solemn, and formed seals with her hands to activate the earth fire.
She appeared to be very focused.
But Chen Nan seemed very casual.
With a thought, the medicinal ingredients fell to the ground, sorted by type.
At the same time, his voice rang out: "Tell me the symptoms of the past Demon Suppressing Division leaders when they died."
For Chen Nan.
Refining pills was a very tedious task.
So.
It was quite nice to have someone to chat with.
Qiye said: "I have handled cases for thirty-six leaders of the Demon Suppressing Division. Without exception, their causes of death were extremely bizarre."
"There were no external injuries on their bodies."
"Nor were they poisoned."
"There were no signs of struggle in the room."
"Their expressions were peaceful, as if they had fallen asleep."
This was a world with many powerful cultivators.
Some powerful cultivators could even seize others' bodies.
And even invisibly devour others' souls.
But even if one's soul was devoured, the expression would be one of great pain.
Qiye continued: "I once observed the state of those thirty-six Demon Suppressing Division leaders when they were alive. They were all healthy and showed no signs of discomfort."
Chen Nan then asked, "Did they offend anyone before they died?"
Qiye shook his head: "Most of those people were transferred from other prefectures and did not make enemies."
He had solved countless bizarre cases in his life.
Thus, he had become the foremost of the Four Divine Constables of the Demon Suppressing Division.
But every time he thought of the cases where the leaders of the Demon Suppressing Division died mysteriously within half a year of taking office.
He felt that the title of Divine Constable was a disgrace to him.
He had also reviewed previous case files.
Trying to find the truth behind the mysterious deaths of the Demon Suppressing Division leaders.
But he found no clue.
Bai Yu said furiously: "Are you refining pills or handling official business?"
Chen Nan smiled and shrugged: "For me, refining pills is not just about refining pills. I can do other things as well!"
"Let alone chatting, even writing or drawing is not a problem."
His tone was calm.
Seeming very casual and confident.
Giving people the impression that he could refine pills.
But also that he couldn't.
After all, in their impression, alchemists were always calm and composed, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to alchemy, and forbidding anyone from disturbing them.
Look at Chen Nan...
He was completely different from other alchemists.
At this moment, a young man holding the book titled "Bai Yu" written by Chen Nan walked forward, his nervous eyes filled with a hint of expectation and pleading: "Boss, I am a loyal fan of your book. Can you give me an autograph?"
Chen Nan's face immediately turned green!
He gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, this book was written by a friend of mine."
"He wrote the book, what do you mean by asking me for an autograph?"
After saying this.
Chen Nan keenly noticed.
A trace of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.
Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
Did people in the underworld also understand what it meant to have a friend out of nowhere?
If that was the case...
Then he didn't need to hide his identity anymore.
After all, sometimes taking responsibility was also a way to demonstrate personal charm.
Thinking of this, he said: "Forget it, forget it. Since you all think highly of me, let's have an autograph session today!"
"If you want an autograph, seize today. Don't mention this to me again in the future!" As he spoke, he waved his right hand, opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, and a surge of soul power enveloped a large bundle of medicinal ingredients, which were then thrown into the furnace.
Although some people marveled at Chen Nan's method of refining pills.
They did not express much emotion.
Instead, they excitedly took out the book written by Chen Nan and lined up to get his autograph.
The work of the Demon Suppressing Division was very dangerous.
Therefore.
To join the Demon Suppressing Division, one not only needed to have the cultivation of the Soul Gathering realm.
But there was also a prerequisite.
That is, one must not be married or have a family.
Therefore.
The people in the Demon Suppressing Division were very lonely in their hearts.
Until they saw the book "Bai Yu" written by Chen Nan.
The spiritual world of these people was enriched a lot.
And they all became fans of the mysterious writer "Fourth Uncle and Five Spirits".
Of course.
If Bai Yu had not investigated and found out that Fourth Uncle and Five Spirits was Chen Nan, they would never have known that their superior was the idol in their hearts.
Now that their idol had arrived.
Why wouldn't they want an autograph?
How popular Chen Nan was.
Was as hateful as could be in Bai Yu's heart.
After all, because of his book.
She had become a laughingstock in private among many people in the Demon Suppressing Division.
So much so that she couldn't hold her head up for a long time.
Especially after she had read the book written by Chen Nan, she wished she could tear Chen Nan into eight pieces.
The woman depicted in his writing was too promiscuous.
Disgraceful.
She suppressed the anger in her heart.
And focused intently on refining pills.
She was determined to make Chen Nan her servant.
She entered a state of complete absorption.
About an hour later.
A crisp impact sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace.
Her hands quickly formed seals until the sound within the furnace completely disappeared.
She was full of excitement.
Impatiently, she opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
The next moment.
A Caiyin Dan slowly flew out.
Bai Yu looked at Chen Nan in triumphant glee: "Chen, I won. What do you have to say now..."
Before she could finish her sentence.
Her voice abruptly stopped.
The scene before her made her eyes widen.
As if she had seen a man give birth, it was unacceptable to her...
