This not only enhanced the strength of the Dark Hall, but also set a benchmark for the others in the Dark Hall, making everyone understand that Xiao Yan could truly improve their strength.
Spurred on by the four major forces, everyone felt an even stronger sense of belonging to the Dark Hall and admired Xiao Yan even more.
Over the next few days, the core members of the Dark Hall, including those at the Soul King and Soul Ancestor levels, also began consuming pills under the guidance of Zhu Zhuqing and the three elders.
Soon, everyone in the Dark Hall had increased their strength by at least two levels.
Their overall strength is completely transformed compared to before.
It took nearly five days for everyone in the Dark Hall to completely absorb the pills.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan gathered everyone from the Dark Hall together again.
Zhu Zhuqing sat to his right, while Elders You Ying, Xue Shou, and Tie Gu sat on either side of the stone table.
The remaining twelve core members stood behind them.
The expressions on everyone's faces were completely different from a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, their gazes towards Xiao Yan held a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity.
Now, all that scrutiny has transformed into heartfelt reverence and conviction.
"What I'm about to do requires the cooperation of all of you."
Xiao Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, everyone's expressions also became more solemn.
" The Blood Coagulation Powder and Qi Gathering Pill will be available in unlimited quantities from now on."
Prices should be affordable—a bottle of Blood Coagulation Powder six Silver Soul Coin, and a Qi Gathering Pill costs fifteen Silver Soul Coin.
It's half the price of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion's Hemostatic Spirit Powder, but twice as effective.
Remember, the pricing of these two types of pills is not for profit, but to allow the Dark Hall's pills to infiltrate every corner of Heaven Dou City.
Let every Soul Hunting, every mercenary, and every rogue Soul Master know— the Dark Hall's elixirs are the best.
Xiao Yan paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and then his finger pointed to several key areas on the plan in turn:
" The Blood Coagulation Powder is the key to getting started."
It's cheap, but the effect is immediate—it stops bleeding from external injuries within three breaths and scabs form from knife and sword wounds within a day.
Soul Hunting Groups, mercenary teams, and even the garrison of Heaven Dou City will become our clients.
Because what they need is not expensive, rare elixirs, but cheap, easy-to-use consumables that can save their lives in critical moments.
The Qi Gathering Pill is a stepping stone.
It's more expensive than Blood Coagulation Powder, but it can directly boost Soul Power.
Rogue Soul Master would go crazy for it, especially those low-level Soul Master who have no sect resources and can only rely on their own hard work.
Their desire for Soul Power was stronger than anyone else's.
They will become our most loyal customers, because apart from the Dark Hall, no other force can provide them with such inexpensive yet highly effective elixirs.
These two types of pills were the means by which Xiao Yan promoted the Dark Hall to enhance its reputation.
The effects of the Blood Coagulation Powder and the Qi Gathering Pill are already well-known.
However, apart from the pills provided by Xiao Yan, the effects of all other pills, even those provided by the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, had been reduced.
Moreover, the price was more than double that of Xiao Yan's price and the desired effect.
The Dark Hall was able to make a name for itself in the Soul Master World in the shortest amount of time.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over everyone in the dark room, and he spoke with a solemn expression.
"Gentlemen, our goal with the first two types of pills isn't to earn a lot of Gold Soul Coin, but to make a name for our Dark Hall!"
"Develop all the mid-to-lower-level Soul Master into our loyal customers."
"So even if the Spirit Hall wants to attack us in the future, they must do so from the perspective of righteousness."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment before continuing to speak to the crowd.
"As for the Mysterious Yang Pill and the Three Yang Blazing Fire Pill, they are not sold publicly, but only through auctions."
We need to make the entire Heaven Dou City aware of the existence of the Three Yang Blazing Fire Pill, but only a few people can obtain it.
The scarcer something is, the more famous it will become.
We can use it to attract outstanding independent cultivators to join us and strengthen the Dark Hall's power.
It can also be used to cooperate with various major sects.
The stone chamber was silent, and everyone's breathing was heavier than usual.
" Qing Que will be in charge of the sales of Blood Coagulation Powder and Qi Gathering Pill."
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the young woman.
Qing Que was dressed in a tight-fitting night outfit, with two short blades at her waist. Her jet-black hair was tied high in a ponytail, and she stood there like a willow-leaf knife drawn from its sheath.
Lightweight, sharp, and poised to strike.
She is a level 58 Agility Attack System Soul King, with the Martial Soul Shadow Sparrow, whose greatest strengths are speed and stealth.
He has a complex and extensive network of connections within the lower-level Soul Master circles of Heaven Dou City.
"You have the widest network of connections in Heaven Dou City, and you know which shops are reliable and which people are trustworthy."
Remember, do not ship goods from the same shop for more than three consecutive days.
Change locations every three days, sell only one batch of goods at each location, and leave once the goods are sold out, leaving no traceable evidence.
Every time you change locations, you need to arrange for someone to provide backup in advance. The backup personnel should be drawn from Elder Tie Gu's group.
Qing Que stepped forward, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and spoke in a clear and crisp voice:
"Your subordinate understands."
The owners of those herbal medicine shops in the north of the city are all family members, so you can use them with confidence.
Over at the market in the east of the city, I know a few independent cultivators who run stalls year-round. They're very tight-lipped and will work for a small commission.
There are also several itinerant vendors in the west of the city whose stalls change locations every day, making it impossible for the Spirit Hall people to keep an eye on them.
However, these people might charge a higher price.
"A higher price is fine."
Xiao Yan waved his hand.
"The key is that the people are reliable."
The commission can be appropriately higher, but before using a new recruit, You Ying must thoroughly investigate their background.
The sale of these two elixirs is crucial to the reputation of the Dark Hall.
There must be absolutely no problems with the initial sales phase.
Qing Que nodded and returned to the queue.
" Yao Lao."
Xiao Yan turned to the elderly man with gray hair.
"You are in charge of refining the Blood Coagulation Powder and the Qi Gathering Pill."
I will personally teach you the complete formula and refining techniques.
Although these two types of pills are not of high grade, they have very strict requirements for basic techniques.
Controlling the heat, the order in which medicinal herbs are added, and the techniques for controlling the medicinal effects—every step must be taken seriously.
Your fundamentals are solid, but you're lacking some key techniques.
The reason Xiao Yan chose to teach him the Blood Coagulation Powder and the Qi Gathering Pill was also after careful consideration.
The fact that the other party followed Zhu Zhuqing in the Dark Hall for so long confirms that the truth has been confirmed.
Moreover, even if the other party really had other ideas, it wouldn't have much impact on Xiao Yan.
While Blood Coagulation Powder and Qi Gathering Pill have a significant effect on improving Soul Master, they are only effective for lower-level Soul Master.
For Xiao Yan, who holds the Dou Qi Continent, high-level pills are easily obtainable.
To win over truly powerful individuals, high-grade elixirs are also needed.
The Yao Lao put down his charcoal pencil, stood up, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Yan:
"Lord, I will certainly do my utmost."
"It's not just about giving it your all."
Xiao Yan walked up to Yao Lao, placed his hand on his shoulder, and spoke in a more serious tone.
"From now on, the supply of pills for the Dark Hall will not be made by me alone."
Therefore, the Pill Hall is officially established today, and you are its first Pill Hall Master.
All the new recruits in the Pill Refining Department are under your management. You will also be responsible for selecting the candidates for the Pill Hall. The only requirement is loyalty.
From now on, at least 80% of the pills supplied to the Dark Hall will come from the Pill Hall.
" The Blood Coagulation Powder and Qi Gathering Pill are just the beginning. Once the Pill Hall's operations stabilize, I will also provide you with higher-grade pills."
The Yao Lao stood there, his fingers holding the charcoal pencil trembling slightly.
Having been a member of the Dark Hall for so long, he never dared to imagine that one day he would be able to learn the complete formula for the Blood Coagulation Powder Elixir.
The batch of original Blood Coagulation Powder in Lord Zhu's possession was the most exquisite second-grade elixir he had ever seen.
Its medicinal effects Hemostatic Spirit Powder from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, yet the formula is unbelievably simple.
And now, the Palace Master is actually going to teach him the complete pill formula and refining techniques directly.
"Palace Master, old man..."
The Yao Lao's voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Yan patted him on the shoulder, his tone filled with undisguised satisfaction.
"Since I have chosen you as the first head of the Pill Hall, it is naturally a decision I have made after careful consideration."
Keep it up, and let Pill Hall flourish under your leadership.
After a moment of silence, Yao Lao put down the ledger and bowed deeply to Xiao Yan.
When he straightened up, there was no more hesitation in his cloudy old eyes, only a light ignited by trust and expectation.
" You Ying."
Xiao Yan turned to the black-robed elder sitting on the left side of the stone table.
You Ying removed her hand from the hilt of the knife and straightened her back slightly.
"As for the Three Yang Blazing Fire Pill, you are responsible for releasing the news of the auction."
There's no need for big publicity now; just prepare in advance. As for the auction venue...
A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips before he continued speaking.
"Let's hold it at the Heaven Dou Auction House."
" Heaven Dou Auction House?"
Upon hearing You Ying, Youying was taken aback, and the others in the Dark Hall also showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
After You Ying for a moment, seemingly worried that Xiao Yan wouldn't understand, Youying finally spoke up to explain.
"Palace Master, the Heaven Dou Auction House is exclusively for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
To conduct the auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House, we must obtain the approval of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. We...
You don't need to worry about that.
Xiao Yan shook his head, gave them a mysterious smile, and spoke.
"I'll take care of that."
You Ying nodded slightly, a cold, sharp smile curving his lips beneath the hood.
After the meeting, everyone in the Dark Hall began to perform their duties according to the tasks assigned by Xiao Yan.
Only Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing remained inside the stone chamber.
As the crowd dispersed, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both looked more relaxed.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Yan with a smile on her face and spoke.
"If you want to use the Heaven Dou Auction House, you must be looking for His Highness, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing had already told him about Qian Renxue's help to the Dark Hall and her information about Xiao Yan.
Although Xiao Yan is now on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue is different from the others in the Spirit Hall.
When Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang tried to kill them...
It was Qian Renxue who saved them.
So far, Qian Renxue has not shown any ill will towards the two of them.
In addition to the fact that she saved his life, this is also why Xiao Yan chose to believe Qian Renxue.
"Um."
Xiao Yan nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
"I should take this opportunity to properly thank His Highness."
