After breakfast.
Chen Nan left home and came to the Demon Suppressing Division.
After all, he was the director of the Demon Suppressing Division.
He had to preside over the Demon Suppressing Division during the day.
He said to a young man, "Summon Qiye to see me!"
The young man respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Lord Qiye is out on a mission and is not in the Demon Suppressing Division!"
Chen Nan: "Then summon Kuangtu."
The young man said, "Lord Kuangtu and Lord Qiushui are also on that mission. They will not be back until noon at the earliest."
"Only Lord Baiyu is in the Demon Suppressing Division now. Would you like me to summon her?"
Chen Nan nodded slightly. "Then have Baiyu come see me."
"Yes!"
About five minutes later.
Bai Yu, dressed in a red belted long dress, with willow-leaf eyebrows and a face full of frost, appeared in the hall.
She did not salute Chen Nan, but coldly asked, "Chen, why did you summon this grandmother?"
She disliked Chen Nan from the start.
Especially yesterday, when Chen Nan tore open his clothes in front of everyone, revealing his large chest muscles, and said she was no match for him.
This had deeply offended Bai Yu's arrogant nature.
It had hurt her pride.
This woman really held grudges!
Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
Then, like a phantom, he vanished from the throne in the center of the hall.
He appeared in front of Bai Yu and said, "Miss Bai Yu, we are colleagues. I don't want to have any unpleasantness between us while we work together."
"I apologize for the inconvenience caused to your reputation by my previous book sharing the same title as yours."
"I sincerely apologize to you." He bowed.
"I also hope that you will overlook my shortcomings given that I only have half a year left to live."
"Don't hold a grudge against a dying man."
As a man.
He had to be magnanimous.
He didn't want people to think he was petty with a woman.
Of course.
Regarding the book title coincidence and its impact on Bai Yu's reputation.
Even if it was a coincidence.
He still had to apologize to her.
This was the demeanor a man should have.
Bai Yu had not expected Chen Nan to apologize to her.
Even so.
It did not alleviate the hatred in her heart.
Take yesterday, for instance, when Chen Nan showed off his large chest muscles to humiliate her.
That was unforgivable.
She said impatiently, "Speak. What do you want with me?"
A piece of paper appeared in Chen Nan's hand. "According to the information on this paper, find the Wang family and protect them."
To prevent the Tuo family from making a desperate move.
He had to protect Wang Lan's relatives.
Bai Yu said coldly, "This matter does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppressing Division!"
Chen Nan let out a heavy snort. "You need to understand, I am the director of the Demon Suppressing Division. Your job is to obey my orders!"
Rank supersedes all else.
Although Bai Yu did not want to work for Chen Nan.
She was helpless.
She could only reluctantly accept the order.
Then she left the hall in a huff.
After she left.
Chen Nan went to the alchemy room.
He began the tedious and boring task of refining pills.
And as evening approached.
A commotion of footsteps was heard, and Qiye rushed in, covered in blood.
Seeing Chen Nan refining pills, he quickly saluted, "Your subordinate did not realize Your Excellency was refining pills here. Please forgive any offense."
"What is the meaning of the blood on you?" Chen Nan asked curiously.
Qiye had a cultivation base at the peak of the Body Seizing Realm.
Few people could injure him.
Qiye panted and said, "We received a report that a man-eating mountain spirit had appeared on Jinshan Mountain in the west of the city. Qiye, Kuangtu, and Qiushui went there last night."
"We intended to kill the mountain spirit."
"But we didn't expect it to be so powerful."
"Even the three of us working together couldn't defeat it."
"Moreover, Qiushui lost an arm. Although we found it, he urgently needs a bone-setting paste, otherwise, his right arm will be completely ruined!" He said, rushing to a room next to the alchemy room, where many pills were stored.
However.
The cabinet for bone-setting paste was empty.
Qiye's spirit was broken. He came to the alchemy room, knelt on one knee before Chen Nan, with tears in his eyes, "Please, Your Excellency, refine the bone-setting paste to heal Qiushui!"
Chen Nan: "I have never refined bone-setting paste…"
"However, I can resolve the severed arm injury."
"I am currently refining pills and cannot leave."
"Have Qiushui come to see me."
"This injury can still be healed."
Spatial laws were a perfect match for a doctor.
Even a severed arm.
Could be reattached instantly.
After all.
When Tongcheng suffered a flood, the common people dug the riverbanks and suffered some injuries.
He had used this method to heal many injured people back then.
Qiye quickly brought Qiushui over.
His right shoulder was bare.
The flesh was bloody and mangled.
It was a horrific sight.
His face was as pale as wax.
His whole body trembled.
His left hand still tightly clutched a whole arm.
Chen Nan released his spatial domain, controlling Qiushui's arm to fly to his shoulder.
Then, spatial power transformed into fine threads.
Sewing Qiushui's arm back together.
Of course.
This alone was not enough.
He still needed to reconnect his broken bones.
But at this moment.
Chen Nan was shocked to discover.
There was a special energy in Qiushui's severed arm that was affecting the reattachment of the arm.
As a former lord of the immortal realm.
One who controlled the power of seven laws.
He keenly felt that the energy in Qiushui's severed arm was familiar.
Although very weak.
It was the power of the wood element law!
"Heh, this is interesting!"
Chen Nan formed a hand seal and quickly controlled the pills in the cauldron to take shape.
Then he looked at Qiye, "What exactly is that mountain spirit you encountered?"
Qiye said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, it is a man-eating vine."
"Its strength is extraordinary, with amazing healing speed. Even the three of us fighting it for over ten hours couldn't kill it!" He said with shame, this was the biggest defeat of his career so far.
Chen Nan said, "The wood element law itself has amazing healing capabilities. It is naturally difficult for you to kill that man-eating vine."
Kuangtu asked nervously, "Your Excellency, can Qiushui's severed arm still be healed?"
"It's not a big problem, just a little painful!" Chen Nan formed a hand seal, and a fire element law entered Qiushui's wound.
Fire overcomes wood. Could it expel the wood element law from Qiushui's severed arm?
Thus allowing the wound to heal.
The next second.
A faint flame ignited at Qiushui's wound.
The fire was not intense.
But it caused Qiushui to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Pain.
So painful!
But Qiushui's face was filled with a crazy smile, appearing extremely excited.
Because he could sense his arm again.
As the flames subsided.
His arm also completely regained its ability to move.
This scene shocked everyone.
They did not expect Chen Nan to have such means.
Chen Nan waved his hand.
The alchemy furnace opened, and the pills inside flew out.
After collecting the pills, he said to Qiye, "Let's go, take me to Jinshan Mountain to meet that man-eating vine!"
He had originally intended to go home after refining the pills.
But now he had changed his mind.
He was going to Jinshan Mountain to destroy that man-eating vine!
And to plunder its wood element law and make it his own.
If he could obtain the wood element law.
His strength would undoubtedly advance further!
