Back at his residence!
Chen Nan's soul entered the Immortal Mansion!
The path of alchemy was vast as the sea, with countless peculiar and strange pill recipes!
Moreover, each pill had a different effect!
Now that Gui Ye had tasked him with refining the Replenishing Spirit Pill, he had to understand its purpose!
Only by knowing Gui Ye's intentions could he better plan his next move!
"Do you two know what the Replenishing Spirit Pill is for?" Chen Nan asked the golden boy and jade girl.
The golden boy said, "Is the Mansion Lord asking me?"
Chen Nan: "Yes!"
The golden boy: "Replying to the Mansion Lord, I do not know the use of the Replenishing Spirit Pill!"
Chen Nan looked at the jade girl. Before he could speak, she said, "I don't know either!"
"Are you two sick? If you don't know, just say so. What's the point of mumbling like this?" Chen Nan grunted impatiently and began to pore over the books related to pills on the first floor!
Finally, he found the Replenishing Spirit Pill!
"This is a pill specifically for repairing cracks in the Golden Core?"
"Does this mean Gui Ye's Golden Core is injured?"
Chen Nan recalled the scene when he first saw Gui Ye!
If he hadn't used his Sword Control Technique to kill the assassins earlier, Chen Nan would never have believed Gui Ye was a Golden Core stage expert!
Therefore!
He understood why Gui Ye wanted him to refine the Replenishing Spirit Pill!
His Golden Core was injured and needed the Replenishing Spirit Pill to repair it!
"Since you want to regain your strength, I'll help you out!"
A sharp glint flashed in Chen Nan's eyes!
In truth, Gui Ye alone was not much of a threat. He had the Sword Immortal puppet and the remaining four spirit stones. How could he not kill Gui Ye?
What he wanted was the formation disk from Yan Xiong!
This was related to the lives and well-being of millions of people in Wuyang City!
The refining of the Replenishing Spirit Pill was extremely difficult!
Even with Chen Nan's earnest efforts, it took him half a month to succeed!
Upon completion, he immediately went to the museum and found Gui Ye!
He respectfully presented the pill, "Gui Ye, your junior has not failed your mission and has refined the Replenishing Spirit Pill!"
"Good!"
"Excellent!"
"Old man did not misjudge you!"
Gui Ye let out a booming laugh and said, "You may withdraw for now. After I take the pill and recover my strength, I will reward you accordingly. Go and refine some pills to entertain me!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan bowed and retreated!
The thought of being ordered to refine pills for amusement filled him with killing intent!
It was obvious!
Many innocent women were destined to suffer!
If he were to refine those pills, he would be an accomplice to evil!
But if he refused, he would surely incur Gui Ye's displeasure!
Everything he had done so far would be in vain!
However!
He had no choice!
Three more days passed!
A handsome young man in a black suit arrived at Chen Nan's place: "Mr. Chen, the Second Boss has sent me to pick you up for a banquet!"
"Let's go!"
Chen Nan's expression was indifferent as he followed the man outside!
"Mr. Chen, please get in the car!"
The young man respectfully opened the rear door. After Chen Nan sat inside, he appeared in the driver's seat and drove the black Rolls-Royce away from the mansion!
"Are you from the mortal world?" Chen Nan asked casually.
The young man smiled and said, "Yes, sir. My name is Liu Xin. I was once an ordinary person!"
Chen Nan asked flatly, "Listening to you, you are no longer an ordinary person now?"
Liu Xin quickly replied, "No, no, no, sir. I am still an ordinary person now. It's just that I have gained Gui Ye's favor, and I am currently responsible for the operation and management of this city!"
Although he was a trusted subordinate of Gui Ye, he knew that Chen Nan's status was very high, so he dared not act arrogantly in front of him!
Chen Nan was perplexed: "How could Gui Ye entrust the important task of managing the city to an ordinary person like you?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Mainly because I was the first to pledge allegiance to him when he entered Wuyang City! It was also I who led the men to flatten the enforcement agencies, and it was I who shut off the power to the communication base stations!"
"Coupled with my familiarity with the mortal world, I have gained Gui Ye's attention!"
"Oh, and also!"
"The women you enjoyed before were also apprehended by my men!"
He said this with pride, recounting his actions!
As if he had accomplished countless feats!
A surge of killing intent rose in Chen Nan's heart!
He had suspected an internal traitor in Wuyang City before, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily occupied!
Especially the matter of cutting off communication, cultivators would not understand such things!
Just as he had predicted, there was indeed a traitor!
Chen Nan looked at the empty street: "If I'm not mistaken, before Gui Ye descended, this place must have been bustling with traffic and very prosperous, right?"
Liu Xin: "Yes, it used to be very prosperous!"
"However, that prosperity had nothing to do with me!"
"I was just the most humble person in this city, no one even cared if I lived or died!"
"And now, I decide the fate of millions of people in this city!"
"I can let anyone live, and if I want someone to die, they won't see the dawn!"
"Take this car I'm driving, for example. It's worth over ten million!"
"Back then, I would have been lucky to see one like it on the road!"
"And now, I have many!"
"Especially women. The women who looked down on me before have all become my playthings!"
Chen Nan chuckled: "So, for your own selfish desires, you've turned this city into a living hell?"
Liu Xin said dismissively, "This city was destined to become a living hell anyway. I just accelerated its growth and brought some benefits to myself in the process. I'm not wrong, am I?"
Chen Nan retorted: "Then are the people living here wrong?"
Liu Xin paused and couldn't help but ask, "Why is Mr. Chen speaking up for those ants?"
Chen Nan said indifferently, "I myself am sinful, and I do not favor anyone!"
"I simply detest betrayal!"
"And even more so, I detest those who stand on the bones of others and feel proud!"
Perhaps sensing the killing intent emanating from Chen Nan, Liu Xin quickly shut his mouth, fearing that Chen Nan might kill him in a fit of rage!
Approximately twenty minutes later!
Liu Xin brought Chen Nan to the museum!
The former banquet hall had been transformed into a banquet hall, filled with fine wines and delicacies!
Gui Ye's one hundred and thirty-seven subordinates were all gathered here!
In fact, there were now over three hundred cultivators in Wuyang City. Apart from these one hundred and thirty-seven, the others had joined them successively in recent days!
However, those cultivators had not been recognized by Yan Xiong and lacked the necessary aptitude, so they were all guarding the city gates!
"Gui Ye, Mr. Chen has arrived!"
Liu Xin respectfully announced to Gui Ye, who was beaming and seated at the head of the table!
Seeing Chen Nan appear, Gui Ye's eyes lit up. He was delighted with this alchemist who had healed him and stood up, saying, "Come, come, Brother Chen, sit by my side!"
Chen Nan cupped his fists and said, "Gui Ye, before taking my seat, your junior has a humble request. I hope Gui Ye can grant me an amnesty order!"
Everyone frowned in curiosity!
Gui Ye asked, puzzled, "What do you need an amnesty order for?"
Chen Nan unleashed a terrifying killing intent: "I want to kill someone!"
