Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

At Yanmen Airport, Yan Feiping and his daughter Yan Qing just got off the plane.

"Boss Yan, there's a response from Qingye Laboratory..."

Seeing the assistant's hesitant expression, Yan Feiping's face suddenly darkened: "Speak."

"Professor Ye declined the invitation to meet..."

"What's the reason?"

"No time."

"Haha~"

Yan Feiping sneered, and the cold tone was almost forced out from between his teeth: "What a busy guy, it seems that the reputation of my Jiangnan Yan family is becoming less and less useful now."

"Father, this Ye guy is so ungrateful!"

Yan Qingqing also had an ugly expression on her face. She was a member of the Yan family and shared the family's interests. Naturally, she would feel very angry at Ye Qingzhou's contempt.

"Alas, we are in need of help now, so let's just bear with the anger. We should put the overall situation first."

Yan Feiping was used to the ups and downs after all, and he did not lose his mind after being angry. Instead, he ordered his assistant: "Continue to send out invitations and show your full sincerity."

"Yes, Mr. Yan."

On the other side, Ye Qingzhou chatted with Zhong Qing for an entire afternoon, and both sides benefited a lot.

Ye Qingzhou inherited the legacy of Emperor Yan, possessed many ancient recipes for elixirs, and was also a master of elixir. Therefore, although he was young, his abilities greatly impressed Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing is known as the Godly Doctor and is also proficient in pharmacology. He is in charge of the most cutting-edge medical research within the Wanji Medical Association. He also opened Ye Qingzhou's eyes and gave him a lot of inspiration in alchemy.

In addition to the exchange of knowledge on alchemy, Ye Qingzhou also negotiated several big deals with Zhong Qing. Making money was secondary. The key was to allow Qingye Laboratory to communicate with a behemoth like Wanji Medical Association, which greatly improved its own research and development progress.

"In two weeks, Wanji Medical Association will hold a medical exhibition in Longdong. If Professor Ye is interested, he can bring his research and development results to the exhibition."

"I will go there in person and join you all in this great event."

Ye Qingzhou gladly accepted Zhong Qing's invitation. Qingye Group had some new products that needed to be promoted anyway, and making money was secondary. Ye Qingzhou mainly wanted to see the various technological achievements in the medical field of Dongji Country to see if they could help his own martial arts.

Wanji Medical Association's exploration and research on the essence, energy, and spirit of the human body is even more in-depth than that of the martial arts world. It not only conducts pharmacological analysis of rare treasures, but also studies the human meridians and continues to explore the potential of the human body. I don't know how many earth-shaking ideas it has gathered.

When reaching the realm of Martial Saint, every step forward of a martial artist no longer relies solely on skills and resources, but on the exploration of the path.

Even the occasional analogy or flash of inspiration can be more effective than a panacea.

Ye Qingzhou called Lan Caidie and said, "Get ready. We will go to Longdong to attend the medical exhibition in two weeks."

"Okay, boss."

Lan Caidie blushed when she heard this, and couldn't help but start to think wildly: 'Oh my god, I have to go on a business trip with the boss... Wait, is the boss interested in me?'

Soon many movie plots began to flash through her mind.

On a business trip... a man and a woman alone... drunk... in the same room...

The more Lan Caidie thought about it, the redder her face became and her body temperature rose rapidly.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you distracted?"

"Sorry, boss."

Lan Caidie blushed and didn't dare to look at Ye Qingzhou's eyes.

Ye Qingzhou was speechless for a while. He reminded her again of a few things she needed to pay attention to, and quickly left the laboratory. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, Yun Yuan caught up with him from behind.

"boss."

"What, is something wrong?"

"Mr. Yan from Siyue Group wants to meet you at any time."

"Siyue Group?"

Ye Qingzhou casually took out his mobile phone and searched it, and soon found out that this was the technology group that was once the largest in Dongji Country. In the past decade, it has been overtaken by many emerging technology giants, but its asset scale is still close to one trillion, making it a veritable giant enterprise.

But Ye Qingzhou did not take Siyue Group seriously. Not to mention that the other party had become a thing of the past, even if Siyue Group was still thriving today, it could not provide any valuable help to Ye Qingzhou.

"I'm busy. Please help me reject it."

Ye Qingzhou refused again without thinking.

There are now sixteen companies in Dongji Country with a market value of over one trillion yuan. If we include the influential industry giants in various fields, the number will probably exceed one hundred.

If everyone comes to chat by themselves, then will they still practice martial arts?

Yun Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to tell Ye Qingzhou how prominent the Yan family in Jiangnan was.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that no matter how great his power was, it was nothing in front of a martial saint who was about to become a god.

As a result, not long after Ye Qingzhou rejected Yan Feiping's request, he received a call from Lin Xuezhou, the president of the Imperial University.

"Principal, how come you have time to chat with me?"

"You kid, you really made our Imperial University proud recently, well done."

Lin Xuezhou first praised Ye Qingzhou cheerfully, and then pretended to mention casually: "I heard that Yan Feiping asked you to meet him several times, but was rejected each time?"

"Why, has the Yan family come to you to find fault?"

"Don't worry, I'm just helping to pass on a message. It's up to you to decide whether to meet or not."

Lin Xuezhou was also entrusted by someone, but this personal relationship was naturally not as important as the weight Ye Qingzhou held in his heart.

Ye Qingzhou may not give face to others, but Lin Xuezhou is the president of the Imperial University after all. Not only does he have a deep background and connections, he has also provided him with a lot of help.

So Ye Qingzhou planned to meet Yan Feiping, but before going, Ye Qingzhou also wanted to understand the other party's situation first: "What's going on with this Yan family?"

"The pillar of the Yan family is about to collapse, so they are desperate to seek help from all directions. They are simply eyeing the Di Yuan Dan in your hand."

After saying this, Lin Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh: "Between life and death, there is great terror."

It's no big secret that the Diyuan Pill can prolong one's life for thousands of years. After all, there is no recipe for the pill handed down from generation to generation. But there are many related legends, and the Yan family in Jiangnan was just the first one to jump out.

If Ye Qingzhou hadn't had the cultivation level of a Martial Saint and hadn't performed so well on the moon by killing three top Martial Saints of the Xiji Kingdom one after another, all kinds of robbery and plunder would have come to him long ago.

The reason why it is so quiet now is simply because Ye Qingzhou has a bad reputation and seems difficult to mess with.

"Yan Gushu was originally one of the leaders of the Coexistence Faction. When Zhang Xinwu caused chaos in the capital, although he did not directly participate, he was also affected, which left the root of the problem." "Coexistence Faction?"

Ye Qingzhou had no intention of selling the remaining three Diyuan Pills. When he heard that Yan Gushu was a member of the Coexistence Sect, he naturally didn't want to sell them.

The light from the crystal chandelier poured down like a galaxy, illuminating the top floor banquet hall of the "Emperor Hotel" brilliantly. Yan Feiping stood in front of the French window, overlooking the dim lights of the entire city, and his fingertips gently tapped the wall of the champagne glass, making a crisp sound.

"Boss Yan, Professor Ye is already downstairs."

Assistant Zhou Ping walked over quickly, speaking in a low voice.

Yan Feiping nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze from the window.

He was wearing a hand-made dark blue suit today, with a low-key platinum collar pin on his tie. Under the light, it shone brightly, and it was obviously a top-grade magical weapon.

This was something he had specially selected for tonight's banquet - it had to demonstrate the strength of Siyue Group without appearing too ostentatious.

"Where's Qingqing?"

Yan Feiping adjusted his cuffs with a casual expression.

"Director Yan is checking the menu and seating arrangements. She said Professor Ye is from Linjiang and has asked the kitchen to adjust some of his favorite dishes."

The corners of Yan Feiping's mouth rose slightly.

His daughter always pays great attention to details, which is why he is confident in leaving tonight's reception to her.

The eldest son inherited the Yan family's power in the officialdom, and the daughter will naturally inherit the assets of the Siyue Group and control the financial resources. Unfortunately, no one in the family has shown talent in martial arts, otherwise, having a powerful military force to escort them would be a truly foolproof plan, which could ensure the wealth of the Jiangnan Yan family for another hundred years.

But now there is finally a turning point. As long as we can get the Diyuan Pill and extend my father's life, maybe the Yan family will be able to become one of the thousand-year-old families in the future.

The elevator dinged, Yan Feiping gathered his thoughts, put on a standard business social smile, and strode towards the elevator.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Ye Qingzhou walked out first, followed by two dashing entourage members.

Yun Yuan, who is in charge of the daily management of Qingye Group, and Chen Ze, the new sword master who is in charge of security, are both outstanding people. At this moment, they accompany Ye Qingzhou and are willing to be the green leaves to set off the red flowers.

Ye Qingzhou was wearing an exquisite dress, and a purple-gold sword-shaped brooch sparkled under the light. If there was a weapon refining master present, he would definitely scold Ye Qingzhou for being a spendthrift.

He actually used priceless natural gold to make a brooch. What a waste! It's such a waste!

"Professor Ye, I have long heard of your name."

Yan Feiping stretched out his hand, his voice steady and powerful.

Ye Qingzhou held Yan Feiping's hand and said something casually, "Boss Yan, you took the time out of your busy schedule to visit me. I am really flattered."

"..."

Yan Feiping was secretly dissatisfied with Ye Qingzhou's lying face, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, he needed help from others at the moment, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

While the two were talking, Yan Qingqing quietly appeared beside Yan Feiping. She was wearing a dark green dress that made her skin look like snow. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and a pair of small pearl earrings on her earlobes swayed gently with her movements.

"Professor Ye, this is Yan Qingqing, the director of our group's business unit. She is in charge of tonight's banquet."

Yan Feiping introduced sideways.

Ye Qingzhou's gaze stayed on Yan Qingqing for a few seconds. She was beautiful but had a bad heart. Her malicious intent was well hidden, but unfortunately, it was still exposed in front of Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou's reaction was also very cold: "Yeah."

Yan Qingqing's expression froze, but she still smiled politely and stood up to shake hands with Ye Qingzhou. "Professor Ye's name is well-known. I have admired you for a long time. I hope to let you feel the sincerity of Siyue Group tonight."

Yan Feiping noticed Ye Qingzhou's emotions keenly, and felt that his daughter was not shrewd enough. Ye Qingzhou actually saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"Professor Ye, please come this way. The banquet hall is ready."

Yan Qingqing led the way sideways, her posture elegant and capable.

I have to say that her character is not that good, but she is very good at dealing with people, at least her etiquette is impeccable.

If it weren't for Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship and his ability to see through people's hearts, he might not have been able to see through her true nature.

In the banquet hall, a round table that can accommodate twelve people was placed in the center. It was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and a gold-plated menu was placed next to each set of tableware.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night view of the city can be seen, adding a luxurious background to this business banquet.

Yan Feiping personally pulled out the guest of honor chair for Ye Qingzhou, and said in a very humble manner: "Professor Ye, please take a seat. I heard that you like freshly squeezed juice, so this is the Duobao fruit specially shipped from Chuncheng. The juice is fresh and sweet, I hope it suits your taste."

"Boss Yan is thoughtful."

Although Duobao Fruit is not among the five fruits, it can only be grown in small quantities in Chuncheng. The quantity is scarce, and it does take some effort to get it.

Ye Qingzhou could see that the Yan family was really eager for the Diyuan Pill.

"For important partners, Siyue never spares any expense."

Yan Feiping had a smile on his face, which gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

As the machine squeezed, colorful liquid slowly poured into the crystal cup, like flowing gems under the light. The fragrance of the spiritual fruit soon lingered around Ye Qingzhou's nose, making him salivate.

Yan Qingqing sat on the right side of Yan Feiping, facing Ye Qingzhou.

She gently raised the jade cup: "Professor Ye, this cooperation means a lot to both of us. I hope tonight can be a good start."

Everyone clinked their glasses together, and the crisp sound echoed in the banquet hall.

Yan Feiping took a sip of juice, but his eyes never left Ye Qingzhou.

As an old fox who has been in the business world for many years, he knew that he was too enthusiastic tonight and would definitely suffer a loss in price in the end.

But as long as I can buy the Diyuan Pill, any price is worth it.

His father, Yan Gushu, doesn't have much time left and can't afford to delay any longer.

When the first appetizer came, Ye Qingzhou suddenly asked: "Boss Yan, let's be frank, I will not sell the Di Yuan Dan."

"you!"

"Qingqing."

Yan Feiping stopped Yan Qingqing from speaking, and then maintained his composure on the surface: "Professor Ye, I believe that everything has a price. I came here with full sincerity this time."

Ye Qingzhou smiled when he heard this: "Boss Yan, I'm not looking down on you, but what else can the Yan family offer that will make me excited? As for money, even if you pack up Siyue, which you worked so hard to found, and give it to me, it is definitely not worth a Diyuan Pill."

The implication was that Ye Qingzhou was almost pointing at Yan Feiping's nose and saying, "Don't waste your time, you can't afford it." (End of this chapter)
