Development of Dragon King Hall
"Ah, you're too kind, Hall Master. I'm also a member of the Dragon King Hall, so it's only right that I go to a little trouble. It's just that with the Hall Master not here, there are some things I can't discuss with, and I can't make decisions without that. That's the most important thing."
"As you know, Hall Master, although I am quite efficient in handling matters, my overall perspective is far inferior to Hall Master. How could I possibly understand these things? Fortunately, with Brother Yan's help, I have managed to get through this past year."
"Moreover, under Brother Yan's leadership, our Dragon King Hall has made great progress. Now we can be said to be the leader of the Upper Four Sects. Our strength is not comparable to what it was a year ago."
Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. In just over a year, his Dragon King Hall had developed so much?
"In the past year or so, our Dragon King Hall has indeed expanded quite a bit, but it's too much to explain in a short time. Let's go inside and sit down first, and then we can talk about it slowly, my lord!" Yan Shaozhe said.
"Okay, let's go in then!" Lu Yuan nodded and said.
The Medicine Hall was very large. Lu Yuan and the others entered the Medicine Hall and found a tea room to sit down.
Every establishment has a tea room like this, which is specifically used for receiving guests.
Pulling Zhu Zhuqing to sit in the main seat, Lu Yuan looked at everyone.
"Please take a seat, everyone." As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Dugu Bo sat down without any hesitation, but Yan Shaozhe remained standing.
Since Yan Shaozhe was standing, Ma Xiaotao naturally stood as well. After all, no matter how carefree she was, Yan Shaozhe was still her teacher, and if he didn't sit down, she naturally wouldn't either.
"Uncle Yan, please sit down. There's no need to stand while reporting. There aren't many people here right now, so we don't need to stand on ceremony."
"Sister Xiaotao, please sit down too," Lu Yuan said to Ma Xiaotao.
"Teacher?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe with questioning eyes.
Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaotao speechlessly, "Since the master has given the order, then sit down if you want. Why are you looking at me?"
Judging from Ma Xiaotao's behavior just now, everyone knows she wants to sit down.
"Hehe!" Ma Xiaotao stuck out her tongue, and after watching Yan Shaozhe sit down, she also found a chair and sat down.
As soon as everyone sat down, a maid brought in tea, placing a cup in front of each person.
"Hall Master, how about you try this tea? This is Clear Spirit Tea made according to the recipes you left in the Medicine Hall. Now, Clear Spirit Tea is one of the main products of our Dragon King Hall and is quite popular among nobles," Dugu Bo said with a light laugh.
"Oh? You've made it?" Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise. He had indeed left some simple pill recipes and other miscellaneous recipes in the Medicine Hall, and this Clear Spirit Tea was one of them.
These things don't require profound alchemy skills. Anyone with a basic understanding of pharmacology can basically make those simple pills according to these formulas, only the effects won't be as good as those made by Lu Yuan himself.
Currently, only Lu Yuan in the Dragon King Hall knows how to refine pills. It's impossible to entrust all the pill refining work to Lu Yuan alone. Putting aside whether that would kill him, how would he have time to cultivate?
Therefore, when the Dragon King Hall was first established, Lu Yuan left the refining methods for some of the most basic pills to Dugu Bo, letting him find people to make them himself. Judging from the current situation, the move he made back then was quite successful.
"Then let me try it and see how it tastes." Lu Yuan gently lifted the lid of the cup, and a wisp of white steam immediately floated out. A light and delicate fragrance entered his mind from his nose, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Yes, this is the aroma!" Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then took a small sip.
The tea was light and refreshing, yet it had a hint of sweetness, unlike ordinary tea which has a bitter taste.
After the sweetness, a Bingbing, refreshing sensation rushes straight into the mind from the mouth, instantly making one feel refreshed and more energetic.
"Hall Master, how is it?" Dugu Bo asked with a smile.
"Not bad, you've managed to make this Clear Spirit Tea." Lu Yuan nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
"Zhu Qing, you should try it too. This Clear Spirit Tea can relieve fatigue, make you feel refreshed and clear-headed, and it also has certain health benefits," Lu Yuan said to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and picked up her teacup to take a sip.
With Lu Yuan taking the lead, Ma Xiaotao was naturally curious as well. However, instead of sipping her tea, she picked up the teacup and gulped down a large mouthful, showing no Intent Realm for the art of tea tasting.
"A cow chewing on a peony!" Looking at Ma Xiaotao's actions, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe beside him, and said, "Uncle Yan, tell me about the current situation of the Dragon King Hall so that I can get a general understanding."
"Yes, my lord!" Yan Shaozhe nodded, his face serious, and said earnestly, "So far, our Dragon King Hall has three main halls."
"The first is the Medicine Hall, Medicine Hall is currently managed by Brother Dugu. Under Brother Dugu are two Soul Douluo, twenty Soul Sage, Soul Emperors, and more than two thousand Soul Master."
"The Medicine Hall business is the main source of income for our Dragon King Hall. It mainly relies on the low-level pills and various miscellaneous items made from the prescriptions left by the Lord, such as Clear Spirit Tea. These items sell very well and are very popular among nobles. Therefore, relying on these, our Dragon King Hall can earn a considerable income every month."
"Secondly, there is the Soul Guidance Hall. I am currently managing the Soul Guidance Hall on my behalf, Mad Rhino Douluo will sometimes supervise it. The Soul Guidance Hall has not developed very quickly in the past year because the knowledge of Soul Tool is too profound and it is difficult for ordinary people to get started. The Soul Tool that remain in the Soul Guidance Hall are those that the master refined during those few months, but there are not many left, probably only a few pieces."
"In the past year, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has taken away a lot of Soul Tool. They have a great need for these. However, since the master has not yet returned, the Dragon King Hall cannot be without any Soul Tool in its reserves. So, a few were left as inventory. Otherwise, they would have taken them all long ago."
"However, although the Soul Guidance Hall lacks Soul Tool, it has a considerable number of Soul Master, including two Soul Douluo, twenty Soul Sage, and nearly two thousand Soul Master below the Soul Emperor level."
"Finally, there is the Enforcement Hall. The Enforcement Hall is managed by my father, Dragon Emperor Douluo. The Enforcement Hall has the fewest members, only two hundred people, but each of these two hundred people has the strength above the Soul King level. They are divided into four teams, called Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning. The captain of each team is Soul Douluo, and each team is equipped with five Soul Sages and at least ten Soul Emperors."
"Their strength is quite considerable."
