An explosion on the first day of the job.
Chen Nan felt his luck was terrible.
But what he didn't expect was.
Everyone else had a calm expression.
As if they were used to it.
Qi Ye replied respectfully, "Reporting to sir, our Demon Suppression Division has an explosion every few days. It's not an enemy attack, but caused by the fourth one refining pills."
Chen Nan was full of curiosity, "Officer Bai can refine pills?"
Qi Ye said, "The fourth one only started learning alchemy two years ago. His talent... is passable. He only took two years to refine the Yin Gathering Pill."
Chen Nan's mouth twitched.
It took two years to refine the Yin Gathering Pill.
And you call that passable talent?
Although Bai Yu was also an alchemist.
Chen Nan never thought about teaching her alchemy.
After all, that woman was not a good person.
Even though the "Teacher Bai" he wrote was the same name as her.
There was no need for her to harbor such intense killing intent towards him, right?
Not to mention that woman even said she would scatter his ashes if he died.
Damn it!
If anyone didn't know, they would think he had molested her.
"This Dragon Coiling Staff will belong to me from now on!" Chen Nan put away the Dragon Coiling Staff and said to the old man in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, "Please help me forge a bow from the Divine Weapon Pavilion."
"It must be tough, the harder the better."
"The height should also be three meters!"
Guo Yu was skilled at shooting old ladies...
No!
Guo Yu was the reincarnation of Hou Yi, skilled in archery.
Although he helped him find the bowstring of the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.
The bow itself was lost.
He needed to help him get a tough recurve bow to temporarily match it.
Just then.
Covered in dust.
Disheveled hair.
Bai Yu, with an angry face, appeared outside the hall. She roared angrily, "Chen Nan, it's all your fault!"
"If your appearance hadn't affected my mood, how could I have blown up the furnace?"
"Pah!"
"Scum!"
"You're less than a dog!"
"I curse you to die quickly."
"If I don't feed your ashes to dogs after you die, my name isn't Bai Yu!"
She blamed the reason for her furnace explosion on Chen Nan.
Chen Nan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, "Are you done with this woman?"
"Just because my appearance caused you to blow up the furnace, you're pinning it all on me?"
"Don't you think you're being unreasonable?"
Bai Yu put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide with anger, "You know nothing!"
"Alchemy is a very complex task."
"It requires full dedication."
"Your mood cannot be affected by worldly matters."
"And your appearance affected my mood."
"Who do you think is to blame if not you?"
Chen Nan sneered, "Do you really think you understand alchemy?"
"Do you really think your alchemy failure is due to your mood?"
"Stop making excuses for yourself."
"To put it bluntly, you're incompetent."
"Do you understand incompetence?"
"It took you two years to refine the Yin Gathering Pill, your talent is pathetic!"
"You're not suited for alchemy at all!"
"Just find a man and go home to be a wife and mother!"
"Don't bring shame to alchemists!"
He was usually gentle towards women.
Very gentlemanly.
But Bai Yu had gone too far.
First, she revealed the secret that he was Fourth Uncle and Five Essences, causing him to lose face.
Now, she was blaming her alchemy failure on him.
Why should he take her bullying?
He had to retort.
Otherwise, the Demon Suppression Division would think he was afraid of this woman.
"I am an alchemist in the Demon Suppression Division, and you're saying I don't understand alchemy?" Bai Yu was so angry her lungs were about to explode, "So you understand alchemy, do you?"
"Come, let's have a competition."
"We'll compete in alchemy."
"See who can refine the Yin Gathering Pill in the shortest amount of time."
"If you can refine it, I'll become your disciple."
"No!"
"I'll be your maid."
Chen Nan laughed unethically, "It's so embarrassing to have your subordinate as a maid!"
Bai Yu spat fiercely, "Pah!"
"Scum!"
"Do you think you can beat me?"
Chen Nan replied, "We'll know after a match, won't we?"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone was greatly surprised.
What did this mean?
Could it be that Chen Nan also knew alchemy?
That shouldn't be right!
Alchemy was very costly.
The reason Bai Yu could refine the Yin Gathering Pill in two years was thanks to the cultivation of the Demon Suppression Division.
To put it bluntly, her current achievements were all built with money.
Although Chen Nan had also earned quite a bit from Bai Yu's book.
It was a drop in the bucket compared to what the Demon Suppression Division had spent on Bai Yu.
"Fine, let's compete!" A cunning smile flickered in Bai Yu's eyes, "If you lose, you will be my servant from now on!"
"You must obey my orders unconditionally!"
"Agreed!" Chen Nan revealed a meaningful smile.
This woman had gone too far.
She didn't take him seriously at all.
He had to teach her a lesson.
Let her know his abilities.
So that she wouldn't act like a mad dog and bite him whenever she saw him.
Seeing the two make such a bet, Qi Ye's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "Sir, three..."
Chen Nan raised his hand to interrupt him, "Do not try to change any decision I make!"
He was calm.
But this calmness appeared arrogant in the eyes of everyone.
Even though Chen Nan was powerful.
Strength and alchemy were two different things.
There were countless powerful people in this world.
But not all powerful people could become alchemists.
Although Bai Yu could only refine the Yin Gathering Pill.
Chen Nan was no match for her.
"Then I invite all colleagues to witness the competition between myself and Lord Chen!" Bai Yu looked at Chen Nan with a cunning smile, "Lord Chen, shall we move to the alchemy room?"
Chen Nan replied, "Please!"
Bai Yu snorted coldly and strode forward, leading Chen Nan to the alchemy room.
At the same time.
The other three divine constables and the officials of the Demon Suppression Division followed closely behind.
Who didn't like to watch a good show these days?
The spacious alchemy room was a mess.
Thick dust covered the three furnaces on the ground.
The smell of burnt herbs lingered in the air.
Bai Yu acted magnanimously, "There are three furnaces here. Lord Chen, as the director of the Demon Suppression Division, you may choose first!"
Chen Nan replied, "Ladies first!"
"Alright then." Bai Yu did not stand on ceremony and chose the best-functioning furnace among the three.
Chen Nan, on the other hand, chose a square furnace.
For him.
It made no difference which furnace he used.
After choosing the furnace.
Bai Yu took Chen Nan to the adjacent room.
The room contained rows of cabinets filled with medicinal herbs.
She selected a set of herbs for refining the Yin Gathering Pill.
Chen Nan, however, chose a hundred sets of herbs for refining the Transformation Pill all at once.
He wouldn't refine the Yin Gathering Pill like Bai Yu.
That would be too easy.
Not fun at all.
He wanted to refine some Transformation Pills to help him break through the bottleneck of the Transformation realm.
If he could break through to the Soul Devouring realm.
He should be able to suppress the fire poison within his body by himself.
