Chapter 769: Chapter 769 Serving Tea_1

Medicine King Valley only opened its gates at 8:30 in the evening.

The moment the doors opened, the long-waiting wealthy merchants swept away their previous fatigue and were once again filled with passion!

They had been tossing and turning all day for this very moment.

Hundreds of merchants, like carps crossing the river, hurried with a light jog towards the ‘Dragon Soaring Hall’.

Along the road leading from the main entrance to the grand hall, stood Disciples of Martial Gate, in full array.

Each of them was heroic and spirited!

Every three meters stood a person, every five steps, a guard!

The Disciples of Martial Gate were dressed in red brocade robes, with red bands tied around their heads!

Everywhere was imbued with an atmosphere of the New Year festivities!

In front of the ‘Dragon Soaring Hall’ were even two giant beacon towers!

Three meters tall and five meters wide!

The flames blazed fiercely, stretching up to over seven meters high!

From a distance, the three gilt characters of ‘Dragon Soaring Hall’ were especially glaring!

The flickering flames danced until one drew close enough to see the fierce, golden dragon on top of the beacon towers!

It was truly intimidating!

“General Yarrow, this time I wonder if Medicine King might bestow some particularly effective pills.”

“Mr.

Leocadia, no one can say for sure, it all depends on Medicine King’s mood.

To tell you the truth, after five continuous years of use, the effects are almost gone for me.”

“This time I’ve prepared a special gift, hoping to gain Medicine King’s favor.”

The executives whispered among themselves.

They visited Medicine King Valley almost every year, hoping to acquire top-notch medicines.

To prolong their lives for a few more years.

“I’ve heard Medicine King has a penchant for antiques, so I’ve brought an artifact excavated from Western Island, hoping it could let me live another ten years!”

“Ah!

The prices at Medicine King Valley are getting higher and higher.

Have you noticed that there have been fewer familiar faces these past two years?”

“What can you do?

Keeping money is useless, might as well use it to live an extra year or so!”

Everyone sighed, but as they arrived at the entrance of the grand hall, all faces beamed with smiles.

“Please take your seats in order!”

At the entrance stood two Inner Sect Disciples.

Their eyes constantly scanned the surroundings.

Seating in order referred to taking seats at varying distances from Medicine King, depending on the value of their gifts.

If one’s gift was substantial, they could sit within five meters of Medicine King.

If the gift was somewhat modest, they’d have to take a seat closer to the door.

And naturally, the medicine bestowed by Medicine King would be awarded based on the generosity of the gifts.

Nobody, however, had dared to take a seat within ten meters of Medicine King for the past decade.

If one sat in one of those seats but failed to present a satisfactory gift to Medicine King, leaving empty-handed might be the best outcome.

Years ago, an impudent young rich second generation, flaunting a jade worth a billion, swaggered to that spot.

When he left, both his legs were completely shattered.

Even the world’s top doctors couldn’t heal him.

After entering the hall.

Everyone conscientiously settled into seats corresponding to their gifts.

The grand hall was about fifty meters deep.

The closest to Medicine King was a businessman in his fifties.

He frequently appeared on television.

He was one of the top few richest men in the country.

With such wealth, he still only dared to sit more than ten meters away from Medicine King.

No one else dared to overstep.

Of course, this was also due to the humility of the merchants.

Otherwise, he could have easily taken a seat within five meters.

Karen did not come in directly.

As an Outer Sect Disciple of Medicine King Valley, there were many familiar faces here.

If she were immediately recognized, trouble might break out right then and there.

She simply followed Terry Moore to take down the large bell of Medicine King Valley.

The bronze bell at the entrance had a history of over a thousand years!

It would only be rung urgently when Medicine King Valley faced danger,

To gather all the disciples present in Medicine King Valley.

The bell hadn’t rung for hundreds of years.

The last time it was sounded was when the then Medicine King engaged in a poison contest with someone and died from the poison.

After seating themselves, the merchants mostly recognized each other and chatted idly.

Medicine King had not arrived yet.

Following the practice of previous years, they would wait until around nine o’clock or even close to ten.

Before he would appear.

At this moment.

Only some Inner Sect Disciples were inside, along with Outer Sect Disciples, responsible for hospitality.

When Julius Reed entered, the seats on the outside were already full.

Only those seats close to Medicine King were still empty.

Meanwhile, at the entrance, many people were still standing.

Obinna Reed stood at the entrance and the moment he saw Julius Reed, his eyes turned green with envy.

Without any hesitation, Julius Reed walked directly towards the empty space.

The great hall fell somewhat quiet.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the young man.

There were no seats left inside, and if he went any further, he could only sit next to Medicine King.

But…

What was the identity of this young man?

What kind of gift did he bring?

To dare sit in that seat that had been vacant for over a decade?

As Julius Reed got closer, the merchants inside the hall held their breath.

Their eyes were unblinking as they watched him.

When Julius Reed passed by a wealthy businessman in his fifties, the onlookers gasped.

Because they saw that the young man had no intention of stopping!

He still walked forward, step by step!

Until—

He reached the position closest to Medicine King!

He sat down.

“Hiss!”

The crowd drew in a cold breath.

Who was this person?

Why did no one recognize him?

If he really had such substantial wealth and capital, he shouldn’t be unknown, right?

Moreover!

Nobody knew that the seat closest to Medicine King had been unoccupied for so many years.

Too arrogant!

This was everyone’s thought.

At the same time, they became curious about the young man’s identity.

“This gentleman, are you aware of the rules of Medicine King Valley?”

An Inner Sect Disciple noticed Julius Reed and strolled over slowly, asking.

Those who dared to sit here were of two kinds.

Either ignorant,

or truly domineering.

“I know.”

Julius Reed nodded, his face very calm.

He showed no signs of nervousness, or any trace of smugness.

Sitting there as though it was his absolute right.

In fact, he had almost taken Medicine King’s seat.

He simply felt it was too ostentatious and didn’t suit his low-profile personality.

“So you! know then?”

The Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine King Valley had some doubts.

But seeing Julius Reed’s expression, he felt somewhat shaken inside.

Could it be that a great figure had arrived?

At such an age, it seemed somewhat unlikely, no?

“Is there any tea?

I’ve been outside for a day and I’m thirsty.”

Julius Reed looked at the Medicine King Valley Inner Sect Disciple and asked.

The hall became silent once more!

All that was left were hurried breaths!

To dare ask for tea?

Some of them had been coming here for over a decade, and no one had ever dared to make any demand!

Today, this young man, who had appeared for the first time, was actually asking for tea?

“You!”

The Inner Sect Disciple was also taken aback.

Although he was quite annoyed, if the person in front of him was indeed worthy of the chair he was seated in,

then he really had to pour the tea.

This was a patron!

A big patron!

“Quick, I’m parched.”

Julius Reed said impatiently.

The wind outside was strong, truly making him thirsty.

“You!”

Smack!

Julius Reed stood up and slapped the Medicine King Valley Disciple across the face.

He directly knocked the Inner Sect Disciple to the ground.

“Are all the disciples of Medicine King Valley deaf?

If I don’t see any tea within a minute, I’ll drink your blood.”
