Chapter 79
There were not a few people who, like Yang Wudi, maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
They all thought that with so many people, the Dan Pavilion would surely be unable to keep up and could not produce that many medicinal pills.
However, what disappointed them was that the Dan Pavilion's policy was not to take everything in one day, but to stipulate how much could be taken each day according to members' levels, lasting until a month.
Everyone who topped up for a membership received the medicinal pills they wanted.
What seemed a troublesome problem to others was not a problem in the eyes of the Dan Pavilion.
On the very day the membership system was rolled out, the Dan Pavilion already reaped billions of Gold Soul Coins.
Now it can be said to be rolling in wealth.
This is not yet everyone in Ling Luo City—just a portion, since the rest are still observing; once they see the medicinal pills are truly ample, thereafter there will continue to be people constantly topping up.
From now on, daily turnover will reach figures calculated in hundreds of millions.
Seeing the Dan Pavilion's huge profits, many people had ulterior motives, wanting a share of the pie.
However, after learning that behind the Dan Pavilion stood a mysterious Title Douluo, those people's thoughts vanished.
Instead, they secretly shipped the purchased medicinal pills to other cities, taking advantage of the Dan Pavilion's lack of expansion to make a big profit first.
The world is vast and communication is underdeveloped, so not everyone knows what is happening in Ling Luo City.
Those who have not received the news are their target demographic.
How much they earn has nothing to do with the Dan Pavilion; anyway, the Dan Pavilion could never suffer a loss.
Once the Dan Pavilion expands to every city and town, those resellers will all be finished.
"Little monster, I didn't expect you to have such a vicious move; the membership system is really brilliant!"
"Such a method could only be thought of by you."
"The Breaking One Clan's medicinal pill market in Ling Luo City is completely finished; next we'll see whether the other side yields or not."
Dugu Bo stood atop the Dan Pavilion, looking out at the sea of people around him; all these people had come to top up their membership and get medicinal pills, and the Dan Pavilion's staff were very busy.
However, the wages were also very high.
Li Fei lightly tapped his fan, the corners of his mouth twitching: "They will surely compromise."
"How so?"
Yang Wudi asked.
A disciple of the Breaking One Clan said: "Lies collapse on their own; the Dan Pavilion really can produce the goods, and they have a set daily amount, so there's no way it could fall short."
Great Elder: "Just how much stock do they have? One person definitely couldn't refine that much; there must be a tremendous alchemical force backing them."
Second Elder: "Our Breaking One Clan can't compete with them."
Third Elder: "In that case, we can only compromise."
Everyone's gazes snapped to Yang Wudi.
"Following someone like this isn't bad; the Star Luo Empire's spokesperson is ours, the Breaking One Clan's, and we can also seize this chance to accomplish economic recovery." That was the elders' meaning.
There's nothing to be done; the Dan Pavilion is simply too formidable.
"Fine, I'll go to the Dan Pavilion myself and talk with their pavilion master." Yang Wudi sighed, and eventually loosened his clenched hand.
They lost, lost utterly.
Who would have thought that from the Dan Pavilion's appearance to now, only a few short days have passed, yet they have reduced the Breaking One Clan to this sorry state.
It's truly terrifying!
Moreover, the force behind them is also extremely powerful!
Yang Wudi left in dejection; the six elders remained seated in the clan, awaiting good news.
"Your Majesty, this Dan Pavilion that appeared out of nowhere has, in just a few short days, amassed countless wealth, completely monopolizing the medicinal pill market; if this continues, the Dan Pavilion's ever-growing strength will pose a potential danger to our imperial family—please, Your Majesty, devise a countermeasure as soon as possible!" Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, as the civil and military officials learned of the mysterious Dan Pavilion's sudden rise in Ling Luo City, and of its recent actions and terrifying profit speed, they instantly felt envy, greed, and desire.
If they could bring this Dan Pavilion under their control, they would have even greater wealth!
"I have already sent people to investigate, and I have invited the Dan Pavilion's pavilion master to the palace for an audience." The Star Luo Emperor said lightly.
With a wave of his hand, a pile of jeweled boxes appeared; upon opening them, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, and everything inside were medicinal pills purchased from the Dan Pavilion.
The Star Luo Emperor said: "Such high-quality medicinal pills, the Breaking One Clan could never refine them; to have such great resources and stock, and to institute a membership system—rumor has it this is true, with a mysterious Title Douluo standing behind the Dan Pavilion, so this matter must be handled with caution."
"As long as they pay taxes normally, do not involve themselves in politics, do not recruit troops, and do not meddle in important imperial affairs—merely selling medicinal pills—I will not interfere with them."
"Their profits are so huge that their taxes will surely be substantial; the national treasury need not worry."
"I believe you have certainly arranged for people to make purchases, haven't you? Tell me, how effective were they?"
The crowd was left speechless by his words; their little schemes were all seen through by this emperor.
"The effects of the medicinal pills are indeed unprecedentedly good."
The civil and military officials nodded.
Especially some martial generals with hidden ailments; after taking the medicinal pills, they all recovered instantly.
"Lord Yang, how goes your consideration?" Inside the Dan Pavilion, Li Fei poured tea for the man before him.
Yang Wudi sat opposite with a grim face, feeling miserable to death.
On the medicinal pill market, they were defeated generals.
"Pavilion Master Li, your tactics are excellent; with the membership system introduced, our Breaking One Clan's medicinal pill market in Ling Luo City has been reduced to zero—you intend to exterminate us, leaving us no way to survive!"
"Aren't you afraid we'll jump the wall in desperation? Fish die, net breaks."
Yang Wudi exuded the aura of a Soul Douluo, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Deep down, he still harbored a sliver of hopeful luck.
"Desperate dogs jump walls; fish die, nets break."
"Hahaha, do you dare?"
At that moment, a low voice sounded, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Dugu Bo stepped out from behind Li Fei; his blood-red Seven Absolutes Azure Scale Dragon Emperor martial soul appeared, nine soul rings—purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, black—rose, and the might of a ninety-seventh-rank peak Super Douluo directly weighed down on Yang Wudi, rendering him unable to even stand.
"Title Master!"
"Which Title Master are you?!!"
"What terrifying pressure!"
"You couldn't be a Super Master, could you?"
"Yang Wudi's pupils contracted, his heart filled with extreme fear."
"This pressure is absolutely not something an ordinary low-level Title Master could possess."
"Compared to the Title Masters of the Spirit Hall, this is many times stronger! Could it be a Super series Master!? Dugu Bo had become younger; he didn't recognize him at first."
"I am Title Poison, a ninety-seventh-level peak Super Master!"
"You brat, you're so arrogant, you still want to use Spirit Master cultivation to threaten my son-in-law; believe it or not, I will now melt you into blood water and then send your whole Breaking One Clan down with you!!"
"Dugu Bo said coldly."
"Poison! Poison Master! Dugu Bo!?"
"Yang Wudi widened his eyes."
"Wasn't it said that this guy is the weakest among Title Masters? When did he become such a terrifying existence? Indeed, rumors harm people! (End of chapter)"
