Chapter 137: Heavenly Lord Of Demon Subjugation Plague Division! Trying Artifact Refining!
Chen Han did not hesitate. He directly urged his true qi into the Fang Grinding Ring. Since he had given her two chances and she did not cherish them, she could not blame him.
A wisp of demonic energy instantly shot out. It was still almost undetectable, its speed reaching the extreme, and it drilled into Zhong Yan’s body.
“Take care of yourself.” Chen Han gave her a cold glance, then decisively turned around and left.
Zhong Yan wanted to open her mouth and curse again, but as soon as she opened it, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in one tooth, and let out a miserable cry.
She instinctively covered her mouth, drew in a cold breath, pain written all over her face.
“Oh… ah… hiss…”
She really put on a mask of pain in an instant, completely unable to understand why one tooth suddenly hurt so piercingly.
Chen Kai, Ma Qi, and Huang Xin all saw her abnormal state, and the same thought arose in their hearts at the same time:
Has it come?
Huang Xin, as a police officer, saw how strange she looked and reasonably asked, “Ms. Zhong, what is wrong with you?”
Zhong Yan immediately pulled a long face and said, “Officer Huang, can you send me… hiss… to the hospital… hiss, my tooth… oh… it hurts so much…”
Her words stunned Huang Xin for a moment.
Chen Kai and Ma Qi were also stunned.
Not hemorrhoids?
Thinking of the many miraculous things about the Chen Clan, they almost subconsciously recalled what the Chen Family Head had just said: leave some virtue in your words.
And then…
Chen Kai immediately said, “Captain Huang, we cannot discuss this letter of understanding for now. It is better to send this lady to the hospital first.”
“Yes, send the lady to the hospital first.” Ma Qi echoed, understanding what Chen Kai meant.
The two of them now wanted to know whether this was her own old toothache acting up, or if it was caused by her courting death in the Chen Clan.
Hearing what the two of them said, Zhong Yan even felt a bit grateful. Good people.
Her tooth really hurt like hell now.
“Ms. Zhong, let’s go, we will send you to the hospital!” Huang Xin also reacted and called out to Zhong Yan. In this situation, someone seeking help and him sending her to the hospital was also his duty.
The group quickly went to the Chen Clan Parking Lot, got in the car, and headed to the county hospital.
At the hospital, they directly took Zhong Yan to dentistry. Fortunately, there was no need to line up. A doctor examined her at once.
Then they took x-rays, which took more than an hour.
“Ow! It hurts… hiss… woo…”
“My goodness… hiss… ah…”
During this process, Chen Kai, Huang Xin, and Ma Qi all waited, wanting to know the result. Seeing Zhong Yan constantly howling, they knew this was definitely not an ordinary toothache, at least more painful than those hemorrhoids earlier.
At least the people who had hemorrhoids before had not howled like this.
The doctor quickly came to a conclusion: “Ma’am, the tooth that hurts is intact. There is no problem with the tooth tissue. It should be a nerve toothache, and possibly a neurofunctional disorder. Looking at your condition, which is quite bad, I will arrange an IV drip for you first.”
At this point, Zhong Yan was very cooperative. People with toothaches are all softened by the pain.
Outside the ward, watching, Chen Kai, Ma Qi, and Huang Xin were increasingly sure this was related to the Chen Clan.
Nerve toothache does not suddenly hurt like this. It should start with slow pain, then gradually worsen until it becomes unbearable, or go from paroxysmal to continuous. It should not be like her, all of a sudden feeling like she is dying.
Most importantly, there was that sentence from the Chen Family Head: “leave some virtue in your words,” and her insult to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
All these coincidences together were no longer coincidences.
In the end, Huang Xin could not help but quietly ask Chen Kai, “Wasn’t it supposed to be hemorrhoids? Why isn’t it?”
Recently, Chen Kai had been looking up stories and information about the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation. After all, now that they were counting on the Chen Clan to develop the tourism economy and drive the county, they had to avoid violating taboos related to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
He thought of something he had seen: “Under the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, there are four divisions. One of them is the plague division, in charge of symptoms. All kinds of plagues are under its control. Using minor illnesses to punish those whose sins are not too great is nothing strange.”
“Was it really the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation who made her tooth hurt?” Huang Xin exclaimed softly.
Chen Kai hastily tried to make up for it. “Captain Huang, what Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation? We must believe in science. Do not forget the uniform you are wearing. Your convictions must be firm.”
“Ah…” Huang Xin was stunned at first, then clearly understood. “Right, right, right, believe in science. The doctor said it is a nerve toothache.”
“Exactly, that is it.” Chen Kai said.
“Definitely!” Ma Qi said.
The three of them spoke as they turned and left. They had many things to do. Now that they had confirmed it, there was no need to stay here.
But as soon as the three left, the lawyer with glasses working for Zhong Yan walked out from the other side, dumbfounded.
He really had not meant to eavesdrop. He had just not expected to hear such secret talk.
If it had been a few ordinary people talking about this, he would have simply called them ignorant and clueless.
The key was that the identities of these three were different.
And, it was obvious the three of them knew the truth, but because of their professional identities they did not dare say more. This made his heart start to pound.
Arriving in the ward, he also looked at his employer, who was on an IV drip. She had indeed not had any toothache when she came.
Most importantly, he had just gone to see her daughter and discussed how to defend her.
Her daughter also had hemorrhoids, and not ordinary hemorrhoids. It seemed that after being cut they had grown back again.
He started to feel uneasy.
This…
From then on, he was completely absent-minded. By taking this employer’s business, was he standing against that illusory existence?
Because of the IV drip, Zhong Yan’s toothache eased significantly. Color returned to her face, and she finally had the mind to care about her daughter. She asked the lawyer, “Lawyer Sun, how is my daughter?”
Lawyer Sun explained, “She has hemorrhoids and is in some pain, but there are no other issues. The main problem is that we did not get the letter of understanding. It will be troublesome later.”
“Damn it, that Chen Family Head has no compassion at all, actually refusing to sign the letter of understanding.” Zhong Yan became even more upset.
When the lawyer heard this, his expression became a bit awkward. To be honest, the outcome of this case was already clear. For such an act endangering public safety, it was entirely reasonable for the other side not to give a letter of understanding.
After all, if the bull had really caused an accident and killed one or two people, the Chen Clan would be ruined. On what grounds should they give her a letter of understanding?
The key was that this employer truly did not think her daughter had made a big mistake, and treated it as a minor matter.
This was simply a problem of perception and values.
But there was nothing he could do. Nowadays it is hard to earn money and the jobs are unpleasant.
“Lawyer Sun, go to the Chen Clan with me again. Even if I have to throw a fit and roll on the ground, I will make that Chen Family Head sign the letter of understanding.” Zhong Yan quickly got out of the hospital bed and was already calling a car to go to the Chen Clan.
“…” Lawyer Sun instinctively thought of the rumors he had just heard. He wanted to warn his employer, but hesitated.
He was afraid of getting himself entangled in karma.
But since the employer insisted on going, he, as the lawyer, had to go.
The car left the county and headed for the Chen Clan. The closer they got, the more uneasy Lawyer Sun felt, especially when he once again saw the Chen Clan…
At that moment, he heard his employer suck in a cold breath and howl again, “Hiss… ow… my tooth hurts again…”
Zhong Yan instantly put on the mask of pain again, and this time it was a different tooth that hurt. It hurt so badly it could take her life.
She did not even care about going to the Chen Clan anymore. She hurriedly said to the driver, “Quick… take me to the hospital, hiss… it hurts… hurry to the hospital…”
Seeing this, Lawyer Sun instinctively swallowed, glanced in the direction of the Chen Clan, and was even more shocked.
…
At the same time, in the Chen Clan, the kitchen was already filled with medicinal fragrance. Chen Han was holding his mobile phone, watching a tutorial on making fans.
The Green Feather Pheasant plumage was enough to make a feather fan, but to make such a feather fan he also needed many tools.
At noon, when the medicinal cuisine was brought to the table, Uncle, Junior Sister, Xiao Mi, Uncle Shuisheng, and Uncle Dagou all happened to arrive together.
“Perfect timing, the medicinal cuisine is ready.” Chen Han greeted them with a smile.
After the group sat down and started eating the medicinal cuisine, Chen Lin asked, “Xiao Han, those ten mu of land have successfully locked in the energy leaking from the underground Feng Shui Array. What are we going to plant on those ten mu next?”
Everyone looked at Chen Han. They all knew those ten mu of land were now like spirit fields in cultivation novels. They definitely could not remain empty.
Chen Han had already thought of this and said directly, “Plant medicinal herbs, especially the herbs needed for the Body Tempering Pill. Uncle, consult Junior Sister. If we plant the herbs needed for the Body Tempering Pill, the refined pills will definitely be stronger.”
Chen Lin nodded. “Okay, I will have people buy seeds this afternoon and then arrange for people to plant those medicinal herbs.”
Of course he knew about the Body Tempering Pill. During this period, Xiao Yu had been refining it. Chen Jun and Dalong had been taking it every day and training with Dagou. Although the Body Tempering Pill was not as effective as the medicinal cuisine, both of their constitutions were getting better and better.
If they had better Body Tempering Pills, the Chen Clan’s foundation would be stronger. Then maybe they could train one or two people to participate in sports events and bring fame to the Chen Clan.
Although many sports have lots of shady dealings, in boxing and similar events, as long as your physique is strong enough, you can simply overpower opponents.
With a strong enough physique plus trained skills, they could definitely make a name for themselves and spread the Chen Clan’s kung fu reputation even further.
Everyone was very concerned and enthusiastic about planting medicinal herbs in the spirit field.
After eating the medicinal cuisine, Chen Lin went to discuss with Xiao Yu, wrote down which medicinal herbs to plant, and in the afternoon sent people into the county to buy seeds.
However, Linhe County was just a small place, and they could not buy all the medicinal herb seeds. For most of them, they would have to shop online.
Chen Han also handed this matter over to Uncle. After finishing the medicinal cuisine, he had already gone around the clan to gather tools for making the fan, such as scissors, blades, an awl, wire, needle and thread, and so on.
Most important, of course, was the Green Feather Pheasant plumage in his warehouse.
After that, he followed the steps from the fan-making video tutorial and began to make the fan.
First, he had to pierce holes in the quills of the Green Feather Pheasant plumage, so they could be strung together with needle and thread.
But after stringing together a few Green Feather Pheasant feathers in a row, he suddenly realized a crucial problem.
Artifact refining in the cultivation world was extremely difficult, and not all cultivators could refine artifacts.
After all, alchemy required true fire. Without true fire, you needed a Spirit Fire Stove and a Spirit Pressure Cauldron to refine pills. Artifact refining was certainly no simpler than alchemy.
If he followed the mundane method of making a fan, he obviously could not refine anything special.
Damn it.
Wasn’t this all in vain?
Almost at the same time, a game prompt suddenly appeared:
【As the threat of the Demonic Forces grows, you decide to refine magical artifacts to enhance your strength. However, countless attempts at artifact refining all end in failure, making you realize one problem: without true fire of your own, you still need to rely on an Artifact Refining Furnace!
You recall that your father once personally forged an Artifact Refining Furnace in his early years, but since no one in the family knew how to use it, after your father’s ascension, the furnace was left abandoned and damaged.
Because the Hall Elder assisted your father throughout the forging of the Artifact Refining Furnace, you can ask the Hall Elder to repair it!】
Seeing this prompt, Chen Han froze for a moment. When had his dad ever made an Artifact Refining Furnace in the past? And with Uncle assisting from the side?
Thinking of how abstract the game system was, he might have figured it out. He hastily left the back courtyard and went to the side of the courtyard wall.
There he could see a damaged, even partially collapsed brick furnace. It was the duck-roasting furnace his dad had built a long time ago.
This was the Artifact Refining Furnace?
【Looking at the severely damaged Artifact Refining Furnace, you do not know whether the Hall Elder can repair it. For now, you can only invite the elder over first!】
“…” Chen Han.
System, the things your Artifact Refining Furnace refines are roast ducks, huh?
