As soon as this said, Du Fan suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that this woman did not mean to make things difficult for Baihua Valley because of the matter, but she encouraged her.

"I will follow the teachings of Deputy League Leader Xiao. This is the essence of the juice of the spark plants in the past eighty years. Please check it out." Du Fan hurriedly made a gesture of being taught repeatedly, flipped his wrist and took out the bottle of the juice essence prepared in advance.

"Um."

Xiao Yan nodded, raised his jade hand, and with a light move, the bottle of juice essence in Du Fan's hand came out of his hand. After another flash, it appeared on the jade hand of Xiao Yan, the woman.

Xiao Yan opened the bottle cap without saying a word, and a fragrance spread instantly, making Cao Xuanyi's expression move, and a wisp of divine thought swept in an instant.

Du Fan was quite confident about the bottle of juice essence, so he felt relieved, not as cramped as when he first came.

After a while, Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled the lid back on. He shook his jade hand, but put it away, without any intention of returning it to Du Fan.

When Du Fan saw this scene, he naturally did not dare to say anything, but just stood there with a solemn expression.

"Very good. I am very satisfied with your scientific research results this time. I will not investigate the Baihua Valley incident anymore, but I will not be the case."

A smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's cold and flawless face, which was extremely stunning, but his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sense of danger, and the warning was particularly obvious.

"Don't worry, Vice Leader Xiao, I will never dare to make arbitrary decisions in the future!"

When Du Fan heard Xiao Yan's first half of the sentence, he was still vaguely proud, but as soon as the second half of the sentence of this woman came out, Du Fan's back sweat instantly appeared, his eyebrows jumped wildly, he immediately bent down to salute and quickly expressed his opinion.

"Okay, get up." Xiao Yan closed her smile and waved her hand expressionlessly.

Du Fanru received a general amnesty, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, subconsciously took a step back, and stood solemnly.

"Du Fan, I'll come to you this time, and there's another thing.

An alchemy competition will be held every once in the Seven Stars Merchant Alliance, that is, an alchemy competition. Alchemy masters of this alliance will participate.

At that time, other sects and aristocratic families will be invited to watch the ceremony. Among them, there are also those with high attainments in alchemy. In the end, rewards will be given according to the ranking of the competition. Of course, for alchemists, matter is second, and the most important thing is reputation.

You can also participate in the Alchemy Competition a year later." Xiao Yan glanced at Du Fan and said lightly.

"What? Deputy Alliance Leader Xiao has signed up for the younger generation? I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I can't refine elixirs!" Du Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed, and his head was shaking like a rattle.

He could clearly remember that among the medium-sized sects such as Kongsangmen, there was only the alchemist at the level of the alchemist master, the uncle Huangshi, which shows how rare a high-level alchemist is.

The threshold for this alchemy competition held by the Seven Stars Merchants League is the master of alchemy! This is simply a grand event that Du Fan looked up to.

He was still a little self-aware. With his tiny skills, he could only produce some low-level elixir essential oils. How could he compare with the rumored master of alchemy? Besides, he really can't refine alchemy...

"I'm not discussing with you, I'm just notifying you. As for how to do it, it depends on yourself.

But I said ugly things ahead, you are the one I recommended to the past. If you embarrass me, you can imagine the consequences yourself!"

Xiao Yan's face darkened, her eyes narrowed, stared at Du Fan, and said without hesitation.

Cao Xuanyi sat aside and laughed, but he had no intention of speaking.

Du Fan's heart skipped a beat. He knew that when this woman showed this expression, it was the most dangerous time for him.

"I will do my best to do my best and will not let Deputy Leader Xiao lose face!" Even though he felt extremely wronged, he could only grit his teeth, hold his fists without hesitation, and quickly say something bold.

"Very good. If you have nothing else, I will arrange for Elder Qiao to take you back." Xiao Yan nodded, and a hint of praise finally showed in her beautiful eyes.

"Deputy Leader Xiao, I really have something here. I don't know if it's convenient to talk about it." Du Fan's mind flashed, and his heart moved, and he said respectfully.

"Oh? But it's okay!" Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows and became a little interested.

"Yes, the patent matter mentioned by the younger generation and Vice Leader Xiao that day is still counted?" Du Fan looked at the woman carefully and asked tentatively.

"Of course, do you want to apply for a patent from the Shang Alliance now? Let's talk about it first." Xiao Yan's heart moved when she heard this. After a look of surprise on his face flashed, he spoke with a little urgent voice.

Cao Xuanyi, who was standing beside him, closed his smile, sat up straight, his eyes condensed, and there was a hint of solemnity.

"That's right. My younger generation recently developed a new method for planting spiritual herbs, which I call the Five Elements Planting Method. In fact, all spiritual objects belong to the Five Elements. Even substances such as wind and thunder are derived from the Five Elements.

And among the five elements, there is naturally a relationship of mutual generation and restraint, so the younger generation…”

In the next cup of tea, Du Fan told Xiao Yan and Cao Xuanyi about the theory of the Five Elements, which included some profound Taoist thoughts in the previous life, which made the two deputy leaders of the Seven-Star Business Alliance change their expressions and nod their heads frequently.

Originally, Du Fan had not yet revealed his plans, but after he learned that the spiritual herbs in the medicine field are not suitable for this method, for him, this five-element planting method is not an important secret.

If he could use this to exchange for the good impression of Xiao Yan and his own personal interests, he would be happy to do it.

"If this Five Elements Planting Method can be applied for as a patent and is protected by the Seven Stars Merchant Alliance, the Merchant Alliance not only has the right to use this method to cultivate spiritual herbs, but also promote it.

Authorize those sects and families to use it, and then charge a certain amount of spirit stones according to the percentage increase in the output of their spiritual herbs planted. Many years later, it should be a considerable income.

If this matter is made bigger, it can also lay the groundwork for the patent of the Seven Stars Merchant Alliance and expand the authoritative influence of the League."

Du Fan paused, organized the words in his mind, and finally concluded.

Xiao Yan and Cao Xuanyi, who were sitting in the upper seat, frowned and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Du Fan naturally stood with his hands solemnly and did not dare to interrupt.

"I understand this, but I still need to consider it. I will notify you if the result is obtained. Do you have anything else?"

After a while, Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief, her eyes turned and she said slowly.

"I have another thing to report, you know. I have to conduct a lot of experiments every day. The consumption of the "Blue Fire Platform" requires a lot of spirit stones.

Actually, this is nothing, but the various spiritual herbs needed for the experiment are produced by the younger generation themselves. In a short period of time, I can still withstand the monthly salary of two families. However, over time, I may be unable to do so here.

So, can the Business Alliance provide secondary research expenses regularly?”

Du Fan felt aggrieved and clasped his fists again. He said that he was not short of these spirit stones, because he not only had two monthly salary, but also had fertilizers that could promote the growth of spiritual herbs and then exchange them for spirit stones.

However, Vice Leader Xiao and others didn't know about fertilizer. Fertilizer involves the Taotie hair. This is his biggest secret and his biggest reliance, which is definitely something that others must not know about.

If this continues, Vice Leader Xiao will inevitably have some doubts. Du Fan will consume a lot of spiritual herbs every day when he and Du Fan study. Where did this part of the spiritual stone come from?

Therefore, he had to mention funding to cover up.

"Well, you are right. I have no consideration for this matter. I will tell Elder Qiao to do this later." Xiao Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, nodded and said softly.

Next, Xiao Yan called Qiao Jiangnan, and after giving some explanation, Du Fan followed Qiao Jiangnan to leave the Qinglong Hall.

"This kid is quite interesting. I like him more and more. I don't know what he has in his head. Not only did he come up with a so-called five-element planting method, he also knew how to earn spirit stones. It would be a waste not to be a businessman.

I said Fairy Xiao, why don’t you arrange for him to be the head of the General League’s shop.”

After Du Fan disappeared in the hall, Cao Xuanyi laughed dryly and said so.

When the girl Xiao Yan heard this, she flipped her eyes and snorted coldly, without any intention of interfering.

Cao Xuanyi smiled embarrassedly, but didn't care. After a moment, his eyes suddenly condensed and he spoke again:

"The juice essence extracted from the spiritual herbs in the past eighty years can barely be prepared with the essential oils of the foundation-building stage, and it is far from meeting our needs."

"It's already very rare that Du Fan has made such a breakthrough. You're too impatient!

Besides, when we hadn’t seen him yet, we would think in this direction? Just be content!

If I remember correctly, you were still very disdainful of Du Fan's elixir essential oil at that time." Xiao Yan swept over the big man coldly with beautiful eyes and said lightly.

Cao Xuanyi grinned and speechless when he heard this.

"By the way, what's the point of asking this boy to participate in the Dandao Competition? You don't really want to embarrass him there, right? Who doesn't know that the person he represents is you."

Cao Xuanyi's face was not as thick as that. He didn't care about the cold face of this woman one after another. He rolled his eyes and spoke again.

"Hmph! Those old guys have become increasingly unreasonable in recent years. They rely on their seniority and are self-reliant. It's time to hit them!

As for embarrassing things, you won’t have to worry about it!”
