Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 213 The White Tiger with Hanging Eyes
“Brother Shun’an, you’ve come at the perfect time. I’ve already ground the mudfish demon’s corpse that you gave me a few days ago into powder and made it into a pill. According to the rules, this is your share.”

In the pill room of Jindu Pharmacy.

Jinzhen Li took a small hammer and was performing a craniotomy on a monkey demon, removing its complete brain and placing it in a sealed jar of water from the Five Wheels.

Upon seeing Chen Shunan, he merely glanced at him and instructed the apprentice beside him to hand Chen Shunan a medicine bottle.

According to Jinzhen Li, this medicine is called "Jingdihuang Wan" and is suitable for treating various deficiencies and injuries. It can replenish vital energy, strengthen primordial yang, nourish kidney yin, reduce heart fire, consolidate essence and blood, and strengthen tendons and bones...

It can be considered an essential item for male martial artists.

Even for Chen Shunan, it would be of considerable benefit.

Of course, it also has the effect of stabilizing qi and blood in martial arts training.

Physically, it's not necessary.

That is another name for loach.

General Huang truly lived up to his reputation as a mudfish spirit, especially after spending many years in the Grand Canal, consuming countless precious plants and pearls, making him a treasure trove from head to toe.

In Chen Shunan's hands, the only thing he could think of was making barbecue.

In Jinzhen Li's eyes, the slippery saliva can prevent the medicine from sticking to the furnace, the flesh can be used to refine elixirs, the spine can be used to make medicine pots, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys can all be used as medicinal guides...

Make the best use of everything.

Eat dry wipe.

Humans have their talents, and demons have theirs.

Of course, Jinzhen Li didn't do it for free by dealing with the demon corpse for Chen Shunan.

As a highly skilled profession, the amount of money a doctor can make depends entirely on the conscience of the practitioners.

For example, Chen Shunan had no idea how much profit Jinzhen Li had made from processing General Huang's corpse, or from treating various wealthy men in the past.

Jinzhen Li went to such lengths, even providing Chen Shunan with a sufficient amount of pills.

Jinzhen Li is already considered to have high medical ethics and to be a good person!

After accepting the Rehmannia Pill, Chen Shunan looked at the dismembered monkey demon with some curiosity and said...

"Where did this demon come from? It looks familiar."

"They came from your Sanchakou government office. I heard they were a monkey demon that died from exhaustion. But that's not important. What's important is that I plan to transplant the monkey demon's organs and tissues into an ordinary monkey to see if it will turn the ordinary monkey into a demon. Maybe I can find out the demon's meridians, inner core, and the like..."

Jinzhen Li remained unfazed and slashed again.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan looked at the room full of demon corpses, various organs and tissues, a peach-shaped heart, a mulberry-colored gallbladder, and almond-shaped kidneys...

He didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.

The calamity at the crossroads was, for many people, an unexpected disaster.

But for many martial artists and people like Jinzhen Li, it was a stroke of luck.

So, does everyone really want to see Lu Jing, Liu Qingyi, and the others successfully slay the demon?

Moreover, the instigator of this opportunity, that great demon who originally lived in the Bewitching Bay and was injured by heavenly lightning, has not recovered even after so long. It is still bleeding profusely and losing scales, causing the demonic mist to be heavy.

The fact that the great demon was hiding in the Funiu Marsh can only prove one thing.

The Funiu Marshland has a special meaning, which is why that great demon was determined not to move the pit and insisted on occupying that position.

Moreover, the immortal who asked for directions in the deep water area a couple of days ago seemed to be coming from the direction of the Funiu Marshland...

According to Tun Mengzi, that immortal seemed to appear at the Funiu Marsh every sixty years and then ask for directions everywhere.

What a rip-off...

Chen Shunan sighed silently.

People dig pits for each other.

The demon digs a pit for people.

The immortals are setting traps for everyone.

Chen Shunan exchanged a few more pleasantries with Jinzhen Li and reiterated their agreement that if they were to obtain another monster's corpse, they would hand it over to Jinzhen Li for disposal.

Chen Shunan then left the pharmacy and mingled among the street vendors, preparing to return to Wuqing County.

Speaking of which, Chen Shunan has quite a few good things on him now.

Every time he went out, he would hide essential items for murder, arson, and even recuperation in his belt, satchel, and boots.

Jingdihuang Pills, Smooth Muscle Softening Plaster, and also the Pearl-containing Miasma-avoiding Pill and Lingxi Pain-Relieving Powder purchased from the black market.

Oh, and the Obscure Sand that was exchanged from that strange old woman.

Chen Shunan might not use these things.

But it has to be there.

Its main purpose is to enhance a sense of security.

"Manager Chen, Manager Chen..."

Just then, several familiar voices drifted over from afar.

Chen Shunan's expression shifted, as if he had already sensed the former's identity, and he couldn't help but stop and turn around with some curiosity.

"Brother Shi Lin, what's going on...?"

Then they saw Shi Lin and a composed middle-aged martial artist hurriedly chasing after them.

The middle-aged martial artist carefully examined Chen Shunan, seemingly verifying his identity, before cautiously handing over a waist token.

"The commander has instructed that with this token, you may immediately go to the Military Academy to collect what you need. All orders are required; do not miss a single one. Farewell!"

Having said that, the man turned and left without any hesitation.

Looking at the waist tag in his hand, which was of unique texture, shimmering with iridescent light, and clearly an extraordinary item.

Chen Shunan was somewhat bewildered.

So Brother Shi Lin has such a lot of influence?
They just casually wrote an approval document, and after one night of operation, they actually skipped countless procedures and made way for the consul general to open a back door?
Chen Shunan stared at Shi Lin with questioning eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Shi Lin also looked completely bewildered, not much better than Chen Shunan. In fact, he seemed even more curious, staring intently at Chen Shunan with a very strange expression, and said...
"Old Chen, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Constable Lu?"

That waist tag was something that the road supervisor always carried; seeing the tag indicated who the person was.

How could I possibly have the face to let Consul General Lu go to such lengths?
only……

Shi Lin seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes showed a look of doubt.

Where is Senior Yunruo?
Why didn't I see her this morning?

I asked the brothers who were guarding the gate for Lu Lingban last night, and they all said that they suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.

Could it be that he's off on another top-secret mission?

……

Zhao Mansion, Wuqing County.

The gifts to be purchased in the future should be handed over to the steward.

Chen Shunan was then led by a special person to the backyard of the Zhao residence.

There is a heated pavilion in the backyard.

Outside the window, the snow was falling softly, but inside it was as warm as springtime.

Then they saw Wan Niang, Qing Chen, and Madam Zhao playing backgammon in the room, each wearing a silver fox fur blanket.

There were also maids who sang softly, played musical instruments, and danced, surrounded by flowers, always at their service.

It truly is a scene of springtime beauty.

Of course, Wan Niang was not familiar with backgammon, nor did she know such refined games. She simply sat aside, sewing a cotton-padded jacket by herself, preparing to make several winter clothes for Chen Shun'an.

Qingchen and Madam Zhao have already played several rounds of chess, with each side winning and losing.

"I never imagined that Miss Qingchen was so skilled in backgammon and chess. I also heard that Miss Qingchen is knowledgeable in Buddhist scriptures and Taoist texts?"

Madam Zhao was a woman of dignified bearing. Although she was nearly forty, she still had a full bust and retained her charm. Just sitting there by the window, she exuded both the elegance of a lady from a prominent family and the majesty of a matriarch.

In fact, Madam Zhao also had quite a background.

His father, nicknamed "Xie Chou, the White Tiger with Hanging Eyes," was a master martial artist who dominated the Beijing area decades ago. Now, he is the leader of the Wuhe branch and resides in Tongzhou City.

In terms of status, he is second only to the president and vice president.

Together with four other consuls, he was in charge of water affairs in the twenty-four counties and prefectures of Tongzhou.

Back when Xie Chou was traveling the martial arts world, he was saved by Zhao Guangxi's biological father. The two families became very close friends and even arranged for their children to become in-laws.

After Zhao Guangxi's biological father died, the Zhao family fell apart and declined.

Xie Chou, however, adhered to the marriage agreement and insisted on marrying his daughter off.

They simply chose the younger of the two Zhao brothers, Zhao Guangxi.

Xie Chou was also Zhao Guangxi's biggest backer.

Qingchen, with her hair tied up in a bun, looked elegant and refined, like a secluded orchid in a valley. After placing another piece of chess, her voice was almost devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Madam Zhao, you flatter me. My daughter has just been in the mountains for too long and has no other way to pass the time, so she can only indulge in these strange and wonderful skills... Buddhist scriptures and Taoist texts are not worth mentioning."

Even so, Madam Zhao couldn't help but look at Qingchen with amazement and affection.

He couldn't help but hold her hand, reluctant to let go.

"Madam Zhao, Manager Chen has arrived."

A maidservant walked in with light, quick steps.

"brothers?!"

Wan Niang suddenly realized what was happening, put down her needlework, looked out the window, and saw a familiar figure walk into the courtyard.

Wan Niang rushed over in a flurry of activity. If there hadn't been outsiders present, she probably would have flown into Chen Shun'an's arms like a nightingale.

Chen Shunan pulled Wan Niang's hand and walked to the door of the warm pavilion, but did not go inside.

"I, Chen, have met Madam Zhao."

inside the house,

When Qingchen saw Chen Shunan, she seemed to remember something and subconsciously squeezed her legs together, a blush creeping onto her usually calm face.

No provocation was needed; years of cultivation, spent in quiet contemplation, were broken at the mere sight of Chen Shunan.

Madam Zhao gave Qingchen a strange look, then stood up and said,
"So it's Manager Chen. How have you been at the crossroads lately? I heard you actually tamed a group of finless porpoises..."

Madam Zhao and Chen Shunan exchanged a few polite but distant words.

Madam Zhao then sat back in her original position, bent one leg and pressed it under her buttocks, and covered her legs with a silver fur coat.

Chen Shunan glanced at Madam Zhao discreetly out of the corner of his eye.

He chatted with the two women for a while.

Chen Shunan found Zhao Guangxi in the study.

“Master, Wan Niang and her two daughters will have to stay at your residence for the time being. I intend to go to the Liangjiang Martial Arts Academy to obtain the Purple Iron Calamus Milk and go into seclusion to cultivate, hoping to break through to the True Meaning Realm.”

"Alright, don't worry. Also, Mo Long A Tai is dead, He Qi Qiang is missing, and Jiang Yu Tang was attacked by a group of mysterious people, but fortunately he noticed and only suffered minor injuries. Tian Xuan Sheng Gu has appeared in Wuqing County, and there are people with ulterior motives lurking in the shadows, so you should be careful."

Men's conversations are always so simple and direct.

If it's not serious business, it's eating, drinking, and whoring.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen Shunan was somewhat surprised.

He had heard a little about the death of Mo Long A Tai, but he didn't find it particularly strange.

But He Qiqiang has actually disappeared?

What went wrong with Lao He?
Could it be that some enemy has come knocking on our door?
The man who was attacked, Jiang Yutang, was one of the nine major landlords in Shuiwozi, Wuqing County. He was a steady and experienced man, over 100 years old, and had been in his position as landlord for more than 70 years.
