nbsp; In mid-air, several figures were as fast as thunder and lightning, their clothes were pierced through the air, and the wind was picking up. They were Qing Haoran, Xiao Yan and the others. Wherever www..com passed, there were only lingering shadows left. The speed was so fast that it seemed to be in a hurry. There were crowds of people along the way, and from time to time some people looked up and looked at it. They lowered their voices and pointed, and they were extremely surprised. "I just heard that the Demon King has a high-level fighting skill to be auctioned. It seems to be a world-class fighting skill. Tsk, the Demon King's moves are extraordinary." Someone just came out of the competition space and said with envy. "Isn't that Shuanghuo who just won the trial championship? How could he be with the Demon King?" shouted a sharp-eyed passerby. "It's normal for the major forces to compete for such a talent." "It'll be great when I can reach this point..." Demon Emperor Qing Haoran and the most beautiful woman in the Merchant Alliance, Zhen Ni, were traveling together. It made sense. They are both influential figures, and it is normal for them to cooperate with each other. But the one named Shuanghuo, although he stood out from the rookie selection and became a household name for a while, he could not be compared with the current Demon Emperor. Now he is walking side by side with the Demon Emperor. He has to let People find it incredible. Could it be that the Demon Emperor is trying to recruit people? Isn't he trying to compete with the Alchemy Palace for resources? ..."I'm really a genius. In this Alchemy Palace competition, I fought hard against all the heroes and won the championship in one fell swoop. My face is bright, hahaha." Qing Haoran was extremely pleased as he galloped. "It's just a fluke." Xiao Yan smiled lightly, but he was very honest. Without Langtian's help at that time, not only would he have no hope of winning the championship, but he would not even know how long it would take to reach the third level of the Emperor. Xiao Yan has a good impression of Langtian. Xiao Yan always had a hunch that the two of them would meet one day. Zhen Ni was slightly stunned by Xiao Yan's lack of arrogance. It is human nature to be young and frivolous, but Xiao Yan has just achieved remarkable results, but his mentality is calm and calm, which is extremely rare. I couldn't help but feel a surge in my heart, my eyes were full of spring water, and I looked at Xiao Yan with a slightly strange look. Feeling Zhen Ni's eyes, Xiao Yan turned around. The strong wind brought by the rapid flight blew Zhen Ni's clothes tightly to her body. Her perfect curves were visible at a glance. Her waist was bunched up, and her firmness seemed to be broken out. Their eyes met inadvertently. Zhen Ni couldn't help but show off her dimples and blush. The corners of her small mouth were slightly raised, and her red lips were slightly open, as if to entice people to kiss Fengze. "What a natural beauty." Xiao Yan was a little distraught for a moment, and quickly averted his gaze, his expression panicked, and he lost his composure just now. Qing Muer glanced out of the corner of her eyes, and this scene just happened to fall in her eyes. She pursed her lips, and she couldn't tell whether it was anger or jealousy. It's not choppy, but it still emerges in a perfect arc. Qing Haoran's senses are so sharp, he sees all this in his eyes, his brows wrinkle slightly, his face becomes slightly darker, a trace of loss flashes in his eyes, and he sighs slightly. Xiao Yan happened to be caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, so he had to pretend not to look sideways and fly awkwardly with his head lowered. However, Xiao Yan is really beautiful and blessed, with a dull personality, but the women who admire him are all beautiful and beautiful. He has no regrets if he gets one of them in life, let alone Xiao Yan gets the third one. Xun'er's purity, Cai Lin's beauty, and Xiao Qi's tenderness are all charming. With life like this, what more can I ask for. In the silence, the teleportation point that tore the city apart was about to arrive in an instant. In order to avoid causing trouble, Qing Haoran's footsteps had not yet touched the ground. The two elders on the right took the lead and flipped the token, "The Demon King is coming, please stay out of the way." The sound was like thunder, fighting spirit surged out, and his domineering attitude was revealed. People waiting in line were shocked and moved out of the way. Several people flashed and entered the wormhole. Within a moment, the light lit up and several people had appeared at the demon clan's station. The reception hall is quiet and elegant. "In the Alchemy Palace Arena, the major forces can no longer restrain themselves. Xiao Yan's situation is worrying. I have no choice but to take this step. I hope you can forgive me." Qing Haoran looked at Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong and said. "The Demon Emperor cares deeply about Xiao Yan, and we understand it." Zhen Ni returned the gift, and she was not unhappy in her heart. Although she was barely held hostage, the incident stemmed from Xiao Yan, and Zhen Ni felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Feel. As soon as Zhen Ni opened her mouth, Qing Muer said "hum" and turned away. Qing Haoran glared at Qing Muer fiercely and asked a few people to sit down. As soon as he sat down, Qing Haoran's expression changed. In front of Zhidian's door, a middle-aged man strode in with a few people. He was clad in purple clothes, had a majestic appearance, and was not angry. He was playing with a purple clay teapot in the shape of the Nine Dragons arching into the sky. Several demon girls followed, not daring to stop him. "The Alchemy Palace competition was too hasty. Zhen didn't have time to have a good talk with the Demon Emperor. Why did the Demon Emperor leave in such a hurry? It makes Zhen very regretful." The middle-aged man was Zhen Bufan, the president of the Merchant Alliance. Zhen Ni received After receiving the information, he rushed over and the conversation was very thought-provoking. "Uncle!" "President!" Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong stood up at the same time. Qing Haoran cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trouble, President Zhen. President Zhen is so elegant today. If I guess correctly, the pot in my hand is made by Zi Tianlong, the top famous craftsman in Dizhou, who spent hundreds of years to carve it. Every round is On a moonlit night, there will definitely be a dragon roaring. It is the only one in the Dou Emperor Continent. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the president." Qing Haoran stepped forward quickly, waved his hand, and signaled the waiters to step back, and lowered his voice: "Yes. The president should understand my concerns and please forgive me for any offence." As he said that, his eyes glanced at Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong. "The Demon Emperor's words are serious. There may be something to trouble the Demon Emperor now." Zhen Bufan's expression softened when he saw that Zhen Ni was fine. There is no conflict of interest between the two parties, so it would be better to get more help. Moreover, Xiao Yan has a very close relationship with the Demon Emperor. If he can gain favor from the Demon Emperor, he will naturally be able to smooth things over and get twice the result with half the effort. Zhen Bufan is a businessman, and businessmen only care about profit. As for the kidnapping, the Demon King's original intention was to avoid leaking the news, and he did not do anything bad to the two of them. Since everyone is in peace, it is time to get down to business. "Master Xiao, we meet again. It is true that a hero comes from a young age. Master Xiao is just silent and has become a blockbuster." Zhen Bufan put a big hat on Xiao Yan. The timing was just right. He is worthy of being the president of the merchant alliance. In scheming. "President Zhen, thank you for the award." Xiao Yan quickly returned the gift. His personality was not suitable for such an occasion, and his expression was quite unnatural. "Demon Emperor, why don't we talk somewhere else?" Zhen Ni saw Xiao Yan's embarrassment and came out to smooth things over, acting generously and gracefully. Qing Haoran glanced at Qing Muer, with a complicated expression. "This is just a place to stay. If it's too simple, I'm neglecting everyone. Please come in." Qing Haoran led everyone into a secret small courtyard where they were stationed. The small courtyard is not big, with hundreds of green bamboo poles in the east wing; two green pines beside the west wall; and more than a dozen pots of autumn chrysanthemums in bud under the southern eaves. The elegant residence is exquisite and quiet, with a unique flavor. Everyone took their seats one after another, and the tea was served. Qing Haoran took a sip and said: "I thank President Zhen on Xiao Yan's behalf for the competition." "It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning. Not to mention Xiao Yan's talent in refining medicine, I don't think so. Liancai, based on the relationship between the Demon Emperor and Xiao Yan, I, Zhen, have to help no matter what." Zhen Bufan said leisurely. This person was really powerful, and he implicated both Xiao Yan and Qing Haoran in just a few words. Xiao Yan was stunned and didn't know what to say. Zhen Ni saw it and explained to Xiao Yan in a low voice. Xiao Yanfang suddenly realized this and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him. His favorable impression of the Merchant Alliance doubled. "Young Master Xiao, you don't have to be polite. After all, we are still partners. Young Master Xiao's potion has brought a lot of glory to our brand." Zhen Bufan spoke, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. After a pause, "I wonder if Mr. Xiao has any further intention to cooperate? Mr. Xiao's elixir has considerable market potential. If it can be mass-produced, I believe it can break the elixir monopoly of the Alchemy Palace and at the same time give Xiao The young master has brought huge profits." Zhen Bufan struck while the iron was hot and added: "If Mr. Xiao is interested, you may wish to make any requests, and the business alliance will satisfy you." What a cunning old fox, making every step of the way. Xiao Yan cupped his fists slightly and said: "I have just arrived in your land. Thanks to your alliance for your help, all the elixirs produced by Xiao Yan in the future will be handed over to the Merchant Alliance for sales." Seeing that Xiao Yan would misunderstand, Zhen Ni immediately said: "Mr. Xiao , with your own strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet the needs of the merchant alliance. If you are willing to cooperate with our merchant alliance, and our merchant alliance will refine it in batches and have full agency, everyone should be happy." Although there is a subtle feeling towards Xiao Yan It feels like, when it comes to the interests of the business alliance, Zhen Ni naturally stands on the side of the business alliance. Xiao Yan didn't expect that Zhen Ni would stand up and speak for the first time, and what she talked about was a secret that he didn't want to reveal. Although he just heard Zhen Ni call Zhen Bufan his uncle, he already knew that Zhen Ni was the daughter of the merchant alliance, and he felt in his heart Still a little unhappy. Seeing that Xiao Yan's expression was a little displeased, Zhen Ni's heart skipped a beat, but she continued to explain: "As for the secret of the prescription that the young master is worried about, the Merchant Alliance is willing to guarantee it with its reputation, and the Demon Emperor can be a witness." She has been keeping a low profile, Xiao Yan just didn't want the prescription to be leaked, so now that he saw the merchant alliance making a request, he remained silent. "Of course the Merchant Alliance is aware of the importance of prescriptions to alchemists, and naturally understands Young Master's concerns. Perhaps Young Master is unaware of this, but since you came out of the ancient ruins, there have been rumors circulating in the mainland that Young Master has obtained all the prescriptions of the old Demon Emperor... .." Zhen Ni glanced at Xiao Yan and continued: "Nowadays, the major forces are making moves, and the young master is in a worrying situation." "Although the young master has the support of the Demon Emperor, he can't always stay in the demon territory, right?" Zhen Ni Ni paused for a moment, then continued: "Young master has been promoted to the three-star Dou Emperor in a short period of time, which shows that his talent is astonishing. However, Dou Emperor Continent has accumulated profound knowledge over thousands of years, and there are countless strong people..." The implication is that , Xiao Yan is still lacking in strength at this time, and it is difficult to preserve the prescription. Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. Zhen Ni was right. Her own strength was still very low, far from enough to keep these prescriptions that were being looked at by all the major forces. It was the so-called crime of harboring a treasure. However, Xiao Yan still had some resistance to handing over the prescription. Besides, Zhen Ni had been persuading him for the business alliance since he came in. She suddenly seemed very lively and unhappy. With mixed feelings, her face turned cold. . Zhen Ni noticed it immediately, and her expression changed. On the one hand, she hoped that Xiao Yan could cooperate with the business alliance, but on the other hand, she was also worried that Xiao Yan would be displeased. She felt hesitant in her heart, and her daughter's family mentality was evident. But after all, Zhen Ni has been in a high position for many years. She took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked around and saw Qing Haoran nodded slightly, and then slowly spoke again: "Objectively analyzing the current situation, the safest way now is for the young master to choose and A major force is cooperating. The two largest forces operating elixirs today are the Merchant Alliance and the Alchemy Palace. As for our Merchant Alliance, we have good character and credibility, and I believe that our cooperation with the Young Master these days has been somewhat convincing." Zhen Bufan seems to have Noticing Zhen Ni's demeanor, her brows furrowed without any trace, she sighed softly and stood up. "There are many advantages to cooperating with our Merchant Alliance. Refining in batches by our Merchant Alliance is equivalent to announcing to the world that the prescription has been obtained by our Merchant Alliance. With our Merchant Alliance as the solid backing of Young Master Xiao, many forces will give up their covetous intentions. This is one of the ways that Young Master Xiao can avoid many troubles and even dangers; all material and labor costs will be borne by the Merchant Alliance, and Young Master Xiao will receive 30% of the total income, which is not a huge benefit at all, and he can devote more time to practice. The second reason is that the Merchant Alliance organizes a large number of alchemists to carry out batch refining and sells it with the help of our Merchant Alliance's unparalleled business network on the mainland. This can maximize profits. Mr. Xiao can enjoy a lot of benefits. Purchasing all kinds of things needed for cultivation is the third one; once we cooperate, everything Mr. Xiao needs in the future can be entrusted to the business alliance to purchase, and only the cost will be charged. The business alliance will cover business all over the world, so Mr. Xiao can save a lot of energy , this is the fourth one." Zhen Bufan hits the nail on the head, and the temptations he throws out based on the pros and cons are quite exciting. Xiao Yan was indifferent by nature and did not care much about gold, silver, brocade and silk. Xiao Yan felt that the 30% of the total income proposed by the merchant alliance was enough, but he was still hesitant about handing over the prescription and was about to speak. Qing Mu'er jumped out, her waist slightly crossed, her almond-shaped face slightly cold, her cheeks puffed up, and she said first: "Is this a small benefit? Little liar, why not cooperate with us demons, we will give you 40%, if not, How about 50%? And our demon clan will not lose to the merchant alliance." "Little liar, what do you think?" Qing Muer looked at Xiao Yan with her big eyes, looking forward to it. The little appearance is charming. Everyone broke into sweat and looked at each other. There was an inexplicable pain in Zhen Ni's heart. The entire elegant house seemed to have suddenly lost its color. The petals blown by the wind outside the window were like broken time. Qing Muer's eyes always wavered in front of her eyes when she looked at Xiao Yan. She couldn't explain why she felt like this. Zhen Ni only felt a sense of loss in her heart. "I have never seen such a negotiation in my life." Zhen Bufan almost couldn't breathe. He wiped cold sweat, calmed down, and said slowly: "Miss Qing, you can indeed give Xiao Yan 40% or even 40% of every transaction. More, but you can never maximize Xiao Yan’s interests. For no other reason than to provide our business alliance with a business network that covers the entire Doudi Continent. It’s not Zhen’s boast, the sales volume of the business alliance in half a month can equal The total amount of demon clan in one year. In terms of economic strength and business coverage, our merchant alliance ranks second, and absolutely no one dares to say first, not even the Alchemy Palace." The tone was so loud that everyone took a breath of air. , but no one can refute that it is indeed the case. The Merchant Alliance has such strength, such courage, and such domineering power. Arrogance requires the capital to be arrogant, and the Merchant Alliance has such confidence. Qing Muer was stunned, her lips opened into an oval shape. Qing Mu'er had never been exposed to business, but because of the eldest lady's temperament, she came out to fight for Xiao Yan. Now faced with Zhen Bufan's words, she could not answer and stood there blankly. "Mu'er, come back, don't mess around." Qing Haoran scolded and clasped his fists, "President Zhen, please forgive me. My little sister is not sensible and has caused trouble to the president." "Haha, Miss Qing has a straightforward personality and is in love with her. Human." Zhen Bufan boasted instead of blaming, he knew how to treat others with mercy and mercy, especially when the target was the Demon Emperor's sister. Qing Muer hid behind Qing Haoran, still angry and pouting, staring at Zhen Ni who was doing things with ease, feeling very unhappy in her heart, but when she saw Qing Haoran's reproachful eyes, she had to step aside obediently. "Qing has to admit that what President Zhen said is true. The business alliance is indeed the first choice for cooperation. Brother, you can consider it." Qing Haoran told the truth frankly. Even Zhen Bufan was stunned and relaxed. This is a true hero. , and his evaluation of Qing Haoran was a little higher. "Since the Demon Emperor is so frank and Zhen also tells the truth, Mr. Xiao may have no other choice but to cooperate with the Merchant Alliance at the moment." Zhen Bufan made another shocking statement. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and tried hard to figure out the meaning of these words. Zhen Bufan paused, looked at everyone's reactions, and gently held his hand inward. It seemed that everything was under control. "Do you know the reason why Young Master Xiao is safe here?" Xiao Yan shook his head. Zhen Bufan replied proudly: "That's because Young Master Xiao is still discussing cooperation matters with our merchant alliance. All the major forces are now coveting Young Master Xiao's prescription, and there are already turbulent undercurrents under the calm surface. How many people are there in Dou Emperor Continent? Among the major forces, in addition to the Alchemy Palace, the human race has a very close relationship with our Merchant Alliance. The Monster Clan is also a strategic partner of our Merchant Alliance. The Shadow Alliance is not interested in elixirs at all, so Mr. Xiao has not been harassed by all parties now. Once If they fail to cooperate with our business alliance, they will have nothing to worry about. Young Master Xiao's safety is at stake." Qing Haoran showed worry and whispered in Xiao Yan's ear: "This is true, President Zhen's eldest brother is a human race Leader." Xiao Yan was a little shocked. The Zhen family owns two of the six major forces. No wonder he spoke with such confidence. At the same time, he thought of Zhen Ni for a moment. Her name was Uncle Zhen Bufan. Zhen Bufan's eldest brother was the leader of the human race. That Zhen Ni's identity... After Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, his delicate face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was obviously struggling in his heart. After a long while, he sighed and asked: "Thanks to President Zhen for your love, there is just one thing that Xiao Yan doesn't understand. Why do you need to take care of Xiao Yan so much?" Zhen Bufan looked at Xiao Yan, and he could still understand before such inducement and even coercion. He was genuine and calm, and he was truly a talent, so he said sincerely: "Master Xiao, this is a good question. To be honest, among the six major forces in Dou Di Continent today, only business is the most important. Dan Palace and Business Alliance." "Businessmen, I dare not say that all are profit-oriented, but profit is definitely the priority. The Business Alliance has the monopoly on most trade routes, but the elixirs are controlled by the Dan Palace, and the Dou Emperor Continent On the Internet, the transaction of elixirs and medicinal materials is the largest. Of course, the profit of elixirs is only part of it. What we care about is the business of medicinal materials. The prosperity of the elixir market has made the trading of medicinal materials always controlled by the Alchemy Palace. Over the years, the Merchant Alliance They have often been suppressed and excluded by the Alchemy Palace. The Merchant Alliance has been paying attention to this market for countless years, but it has been suffering from no breakthrough. Now Mr. Xiao’s prescription can be said to be an absolute trump card, relying only on the clear spirit liquid and blood pill. With the two most consumed recovery elixirs, we can build an elixir and medicinal material trading market in our business alliance area that can compete with or even surpass the elixir market, ensuring that the sales volume in the entire Doudi Continent is absolutely number one. One, and then break the Dan Palace's monopoly on medicinal materials, which is an extremely huge market. I wonder if Mr. Xiao thinks what I say is true?" What Zhen Bufan said cannot be said to be dishonest. "Xiao Yan's original intention in refining medicine was just to reach the fifth level of the Emperor, and he had no idea of making profits. President Zhen was so kind to Xiao Yan, I'm afraid..." Although Xiao Yan was a little moved, Xiao Yan's view of money It doesn't matter whether it's a gain or not. Secondly, the prescription is very important, and Xiao Yan still doesn't want to reveal it easily. As soon as these words came out, Qing Haoran was stunned. He was unmoved by such an inducement. It seemed that Xiao Yan Honghu's ambition was not limited to this. This boy must have a bright future. Zhen Ni felt sad for a while, her head lowered, and she felt an indescribable loss in her heart. She couldn't explain why, but a trace of paleness appeared on her pretty face. Qing Mu'er's elegant little face was flushed with peach cheeks, unable to conceal her excitement. For unknown reasons, Qing Muer felt inexplicably happy when she saw Zhen Ni lost, especially in front of Xiao Yan. "Is there any reason why Mr. Xiao wants to reach the fifth rank of the Emperor? Can you appeal? Maybe the merchant alliance can help." Zhen Bufan is a shrewd businessman with absolute patience. Xiao Yan hesitated. This matter was of great importance and he couldn't let any news leak out, otherwise it would lead to another bloody storm and affect his own people. Seeing this, Qing Haoran helped to relieve the siege: "I think this brother of mine must be a member of the clan. When an alchemist reaches the fifth level of the emperor, his status will rise accordingly, and the family he belongs to will also rise and develop rapidly." "I see. Mr. Xiao is rare. With such filial piety, Zhen has a suggestion that Mr. Xiao might as well listen to. The strength of a family is nothing more than its resources and heritage. If it cooperates with the business alliance, the Xiao family can quickly obtain a large amount of funds for the development of future generations, and the Xiao family The merchant alliance will also try its best to supply the needed items at prices far lower than the market price. In this way, the Xiao clan will have a strong merchant alliance as the backing, and the Xiao clan will have a strong foundation." Zhen Bufan is worthy of being the leader of the merchant alliance. Lord, his intelligence and ability made everyone feel inferior to him, but when he mentioned the Xiao clan, his tone was a little hesitant and weird. When Zhen Bufan said this, Xiao Yan's heart moved. Although it was not his original intention, he also reminded himself that whether it is the Soul Clan in Dou Qi Continent or the six major forces in Dou Emperor Continent, they are far from being a weak individual. Can compete. If he wanted to gain a place in the Dou Emperor Continent, the only way to become a strong man was to strengthen his family and form his own force. Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind. At this moment, Xiao Yan thought of the Marrow Repair Pill and the Purple Heart Pill. The Marrow Repair Pill can cleanse the muscles and bones, modify the essence, and strengthen the body; while the Purple Heart Pill can greatly weaken the power of the fifth thunderbolt of the Five-Star Emperor Tribulation. With these two pills, as long as they have enough materials, the Xiao Clan can mass-produce Five-Star Dou Emperor. In this way, it will be difficult for the Xiao Clan to become powerful. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil, but there is a problem that makes Xiao Yan very depressed, that is, the Xiao clan doesn't even have a four-star dì dū, what should I do? Xiao Yan was very worried about how to improve the family's strength in a short period of time. "And if the Xiao clan wants to be strong, they must first get out of Dizhou. The cultivation environment there is nowhere comparable to that of Diyuan State. It is not easy to gain a foothold in Diyuan State. The Merchant Alliance owns many territories in Juxi City. If Mr. Xiao cooperates with our business alliance, then our business alliance can provide a piece of territory to the Xiao clan as a base for development. The relationship between the young master and the Demon Emperor is very shallow, so how about this territory be set in the demon area, then Mr. Xiao can I often talk about brotherly love with the Demon Emperor, and secondly, with the Demon Emperor here, and the Xiao clan taking care of me, wouldn’t it be perfect?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s silence, President Zhen threw out another huge bait, and Zhen Bufan also There is another purpose, that is, by showing kindness, the Xiao clan will be grateful, and Xiao Yan can be tightly bound together. Xiao Yan may have all the old Demon Emperor's prescriptions. "President Zhen's kindness, Xiao is very grateful. However, this matter is too sudden. How about allowing Xiao Yan to think about it for one night?" Xiao Yan said politely as he needed some time to sort out his thoughts. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Ni secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt elated for no reason. Her beauty was more delicate than flowers, and she didn't even know why. Xiao Yan glanced over and was stunned for a moment. When Qing Muer saw Xiao Yan's expression, Xiaoman was so angry that he stamped his feet on the floor and gnashed his teeth in hatred. Considering it meant there was still a chance, and Zhen Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. "Everyone is tired after a long day. Come and have a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests." Qing Haoran saw that the matter had come to an end and waved his hand to arrange the reception. Now that the two major forces are here, they are not afraid of Xiao Yan's safety. No one dares to steal people from the two major forces. Although it was just a stopover, the dinner was not luxurious enough, but it was more than elegant. Mellow pork ribs, emerald shrimp bucket, braised lion's head, Jinling scallops, snowflake crab bucket... everything is available, full of color and flavor, everyone drank and drank together. Qing Haoran drank from a large cup and was bold and bold; Zhen Bufan and Le Shaolong toasted to Xiao Yan from time to time, hoping to increase the amount of chips; Zhen Ni smiled and said nothing, slightly drunk, like a midnight bloom flowers, the jade fingers holding the glass played with the delicate wine glass, wrapped in a circle of lipstick, the red color teased Xiao Yan's nerves; Qing Mu'er looked at Xiao Yan for a while, and at Zhen Ni for a while. His teeth were biting gently, as if angry or angry, elegant and elegant, with an aura of lightness; Xiao Yan was no longer intoxicated, and everyone was drunk. The moon hung in the blue sky, the banquet was already in a mess, and everyone was a little drunk. Qing Haoran looked around. Zhen Bufan was still chatting with Xiao Yan. He had no intention of leaving. He said, "Why don't you just consider it for one night? I can afford to wait." Qing Haoran and Zhen Bufan Looking at each other, the two of them laughed dumbly. They couldn't hide what they were thinking from each other. They raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp. ......In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yan was full of thoughts, got up very early, and strolled in the back garden. The bright purples and reds were boring in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Good morning, brother, did you sleep well last night?" Qing Haoran appeared next to Xiao Yan. "It's not bad. My elder brother had an amazing amount of alcohol last night." Xiao Yan clicked his tongue. Last night, he watched Qing Haoran drink from a large bowl at first, and then started drinking heavily, completely getting Zhen Bufan and Le Shaolong drunk. Afterwards, Xiao Yan was able to go back to his room to rest. "Haha, it's rare to have a drink with the leaders of the six major forces. How can I not drink more." Qing Haoran was full of pride. "Brother got President Zhen drunk on purpose last night, right?" Qing Haoran looked at Xiao Yan and laughed loudly: "The one who knows me is my brother." Xiao Yan looked at Qing Haoran and was filled with emotion. Since they met, Qing Haoran repeatedly helped himself and his family, and Xiao Yan remembered this kindness in his heart. "Brother, why are you here so early?" Xiao Yan became concerned about Qing Haoran. I have something on my mind, but what about my elder brother? Now that he is the Demon King, is there anything unsatisfactory? "Haha, I couldn't sleep so I wanted to go out for a walk. What's on your mind? Can you tell me about it?" Qing Haoran casually sat down on the lawn and sighed inwardly. Xiao Yan couldn't help with his own affairs now. "Xiao Yan is really grateful to Big Brother. Big Brother has helped a lot during this time." Xiao Yan paused, "It's just that Xiao Yan can't always grow up under the protection of Big Brother..." "Xiong The eagle always spreads its wings and flies." Qing Haoran smiled happily: "Tell me, if there is anything big brother can answer for you." Xiao Yan frowned and said, "What do you think of the prescription? Qing Haoran showed a solemn look and said: "Although the business alliance focuses on interests, the old fox is also frank and his analysis is very reasonable. Brother, you have a top-notch prescription that is coveted by all major forces, not to mention the prescription." It is inconvenient to show up in public, which will greatly hinder your experience. I think it is difficult to guarantee safety alone. And the only solution may be as the old fox said, only by cooperating with a big force. Once you come, you can Solving my brother's crisis can, secondly, promote the development of the Xiao clan." Xiao Yan knew that Qing Haoran was doing it for his own good, and what he said was exactly what he thought, so he nodded repeatedly: "Then the big brother's intention is to..." "Give. ." Qing Haoran smiled boldly, "But don't give it too easily, haha!" "Brother, do you want me to make a killing?" Xiao Yan said to himself, a little confused. "Yes, and you have to kill it hard. If you don't kill a water fish as big as the merchant alliance, who will you kill? Haha, today is so refreshing." Qing Haoran looked up to the sky and laughed. Xiao Yan also laughed, not expecting that his elder brother had such a funny side. In Yajuli in the distance, Zhen Bufan was sleepy-eyed and about to get up when he suddenly shuddered... "By the way, Xiao Yan has one more thing to ask brother. The Xiao clan is too weak now, even if Xiao Yan Yan agreed to cooperate with the Merchant Alliance, and the Xiao clan moved to Juxi City. However, there was not even a strong person in the clan, and Xiao Yan went out to practice and lacked a capable assistant. What should I do? Please give me some instructions, brother. ." Qing Haoran looked at Xiao Yan and suddenly laughed: "Brother, this is actually not difficult at all. You first form a team of your own. A few more capable helpers will be of great help to you. Manpower is not a problem, Shang There are many men, I must ask them for it, don’t be polite, haha. As for the Xiao clan, I will help you with your big brother for the time being. In the future, when the Xiao clan has a lot of financial support, it will be fine to develop. "Xiao Yan suddenly realized, but still asked with a little doubt: "Brother, don't you want to live in the demon building in the demon area? How can you, the majestic demon king, condescend to live in the Xiao clan." Qing Haoran was a little bit Embarrassed, he was silent for a moment and sighed: "Brother, you don't know that the demon clan is in chaos now and cannot be unified. I, the demon king, have not been recognized by all branches. Just relying on the Blood Demon Order, there is no Even if you don’t have enough strength and funds, you won’t be able to do it.” After saying that, his expression became gloomy. Xiao Yan was really stunned. He didn't expect Qing Haoran's situation to be like this. Although Qing Haoran said it lightly, Xiao Yan felt that the actual situation was not as easy as it appeared on the surface, and he must have been under a lot of pressure. Despite this, Qing Haoran still helped him in every way, and a faint mist appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. ......... Three poles up, the courtyard with green bricks and red tiles is dappled with light and shadow. Above the lobby, the fragrance of tea and mist curl up, giving it a unique and elegant atmosphere. Zhen Bufan, Zhen Ni, and Le Shaolong whispered to each other, looking slightly anxious. Zhen Ni is covered in yellow clothes today, her skin is as radiant as snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, like pearls dizzy, beautiful jade is shining, but there is a hint of worry between her eyebrows. Qing Mu'er, on the other hand, was dressed in red. Under her slender jade neck, her skin was like creamy white jade, and she had a pair of slender, moist and well-proportioned legs, which seemed to rival Zhen Ni's. Not long after, Qing Haoran's hearty laughter rang out, "I'm sorry, Qing is late, I'd like to see Haihan. I wonder how everyone slept last night?" When everyone looked up, they saw Qing Haoran dragging Xiao Yan, and two, Third and fifth elders appeared at the door. "President Zhen, I'm sorry. Xiao saw that everyone was a little drunk last night. He wanted everyone to rest more before discussing, but I didn't expect that everyone was already here." Xiao Yan quickly apologized with fists in his hands. "Demon Emperor, Mr. Xiao, it doesn't matter." Zhen Bufan smiled casually. Xiao Yan turned around, glanced at Zhen Ni, and his eyes lit up. Different from the capable and capable person in the past, today's Zhen Ni was more gentle and lovely, with a beautiful face, but Xiao Yan couldn't figure out why Zhen Ni rolled her eyes at him. Qing Muer also gave Xiao Yan a roll of her eyes. The reason was simple. Xiao Yan looked at Zhen Ni first and then at himself. This left Xiao Yan confused. "I wonder how Mr. Xiao thought about it one night?" Zhen Bufan gestured to Zhen Ni and asked, why is it that since he is the president of the merchant alliance, he can easily become passive in negotiations if he acts too hastily in person. "Xiao Mou saw President Zhen's sincerity. Xiao thought twice and agreed to cooperate with the merchant alliance." Xiao Yan changed his tone, "But Xiao has several demands. If President Zhen refuses, Xiao has no choice but to I've made another plan." I'm not afraid that you will make a request, but I'm afraid that you won't ask for it. When Zhen Bufan saw hope, he would naturally not let it go and said slowly: "Master Xiao, please speak." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said: "First, all the elixirs refined by Xiao will be handed over to the Merchant Alliance for sales in the future, as a support for cooperation with the Merchant Alliance." This can show Xiao Yan's sincerity, as the so-called courtesy reciprocates. "Second, all the clear spirit fluids of the first, second and third lines are handed over to the merchant alliance for batch refining. All materials and labor are responsible for the merchant alliance, and Xiao gets 30% of the total income." Xiao Yan needs to maximize profits. After all, Xiao Yan acquires The magic core, the medicinal materials to improve the alchemy level, and the power of the Xiao clan all require a lot of money. "Third, the safety and confidentiality of the prescription must be guaranteed. According to the refining method of the potion, five refining points will be established. The selected personnel must be absolutely loyal, and all responsibilities will be borne by the merchant alliance." This is a matter of life and death. It is crucial for everyone. All prerequisites must be absolutely guaranteed. "Fourth, the first and second blood qi pills are produced by the Blood Demon Clan. The Xiao Clan will also participate in refining the first blood qi pills in the future. All blood qi pills are sold to the merchant alliance, and the merchant alliance only charges a 15% commission. "Leaving the Blood Demon Clan to refine the Blood Energy Pill is a way to repay Qing Haoran, and the Xiao Clan's participation is the first step towards self-sufficiency and growth. "Fifth, the family is weak. Xiao wants to form a team of his own for the family. I hope your alliance can provide me with candidates for the team. These people must have clean backgrounds and good talents. The most important thing is that the personnel must be composed of I choose, and I have full control." When traveling in Dou Di Continent, if he wanted to grow stronger, Xiao Yan was deeply aware of the frailty of his personal power. "Sixth, Xiao Yan and the Merchant Alliance are mutual allies, not subordinates. When one party is in trouble, the other party should try its best to support and help." After patiently listening to Xiao Yan's conditions, Zhen Bufan thought for a moment and then He spoke. "All the elixirs refined by Mr. Xiao are handed over to us for sale. It is our honor. Thank you very much, Zhen." Zhen Bufan felt that Xiao Yan could not provide many elixirs personally, so he responded politely out of politeness. He did not expect that the medicine refining ability of Xiao Yan's later forces would cause a storm in the Dou Emperor Continent. Zhen Bufan thought for a moment and continued: "When the young master is in trouble, as an ally, we should try our best to help within the scope of the business alliance's ability. As for the confidentiality of the prescription, Mr. Xiao can rest assured that this matter affects our business." It is the highest interest of the alliance, and we will definitely strictly control this." "With the production capacity of the Merchant Alliance, isn't the production of Qingling Liquid alone not enough? Zhen has a merciless request, where is the Blood Qi Pill, Xiao Master, can you give up a little and let the merchant alliance participate in the refining?" Zhen Bufan looked at Xiao Yan's face and made a suggestion. Businessmen always hope to strive for more profits, not to mention the huge consumption potential of healing elixirs. The merchant alliance has always been very jealous, and after finally getting this opportunity, Zhen Bufan will certainly not let it go. Seeing Xiao Yan's face darken, Zhen Bufan quickly added: "Of course, the merchant alliance will make compensation in this regard, and will never let Mr. Xiao down." "No." Xiao Yan said decisively: "Yes. The main purpose of Chang is to establish a market that can attract everyone to trade medicinal materials. All the blood pills refined by the Blood Demon Clan and my Xiao Clan are sold by Guimeng, which can also achieve this goal. Moreover, the profits of the Qingling Liquid and the refining The speed is not comparable to the blood energy pill. The most important thing is that Brother Qing's blood demon clan is kind to me, Xiao Yan. I hope President Zhen will not embarrass Xiao." Qing Haoran was shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Yan to actually put him in trouble. Leave the benefits of the Blood Qi Pill to yourself, "Brother, I understand what you are thinking, but you will not be rewarded for your efforts. It is better to hand over the refining of the Blood Qi Pill to the Xiao Clan. The Xiao Clan needs funds more than the Blood Demon Clan." Qing Haoran thought in his heart. He knew very well what kind of huge profit this was. Increasing this income might even play a vital role in unifying the demon clan. However, Xiao Yan was a compassionate person. How could he be willing to be an unjust person just for profit? Xiao Yan turned to look at Qing Haoran, the emperor of the empathy and righteousness, since he met, he has been taking care of himself, and now he has a difficult situation. He still thinks about himself. Hao Ran alone. Xiao Yan's tone became extremely firm: "Brother, please don't quit. For so long, the Xiao Mongolian brother has taken care of. Xiao Yan does not think he will report. It ’s shocked by the audience. Qing Haoran looked at Xiao Yan, and his eyes were full of excitement. The ancestor emperor was the ancestor emperor. It was too accurate to see people. This brother deserves my Qing Haoran's liver and gallbladder. The three elders behind Qing Haoran had done things for Xiao Yan's people and nodded again and again. The conflict of the conflict of Qing Haoran's support for Xiao Yan had quietly changed. At this time Le Shaolong's expression was complicated. Xiao Yan's Yi Boyun Angel Le Shaolong admires it and is a person who is well intersecting. Thinking about the interests of the Shang League, he also proposed to eliminate Xiao Yan. Now he is a little guilty. Fortunately, he was still helpful to Xiao Yan and did not reach the opposite side. Zhen Nimei looked forward to the eyes, Xiao Yan's image became tall in her mind. I didn't think that Xiao Yan usually had few words, not good at expressing, and even some dumbness, but it was righteous, chivalrous ... "I am What are you thinking about, I ... "Zhen Ni reacted, his face was shy, and his heart felt like an electric shock.
