Chapter 554: Old and Decayed



After hearing these words, the whole hall was silent. Usually, Daluleide would just say a few words, but today, his words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Some people began to wonder what this meant, who was he speaking for, or who was he going to criticize? For a moment, people's minds became complicated. On the questioning platform, some people's faces changed slightly.

The head of the Pharmacists Guild was a white-haired old man. In front of him was a piece of paper with questions already written on it.

He was also extremely powerful. After hearing what Darulaide said, he clearly felt something was wrong, but he still stood up, glanced at the paper, and spoke slowly.

"This inquiry was initiated by our Pharmacists' Union. Our Pharmacists' Union questioned Dolay for abusing drug formulas, arbitrarily changing drug prices, disrupting the market, and arbitrarily violating pharmacist codes of conduct by summoning ordinary pharmacists to achieve the goal of drug monopoly."

Then, he looked at Duolai with a heavy gaze, and pressed him fiercely with his aura, "Now please answer the first question, about the abuse of the drug formula."

Dolai looked at the other person, his eyes level with his own. The atmosphere around him was very quiet, and combined with what he had just heard from Daluleid, he was not panicked at all.

He looked at the man and spoke slowly, "I want to make it clear here that everything I did was in accordance with the pharmacist's code and did not violate any of the pharmacist's code. Please do not frame me. As for the recipe, I am sure that my students purchased the recipes that comply with the rules from the Pharmacist Guild for their own use. As for the learning method, it is my own. I only taught them the method of refining for a fee after examining the character of the academy. The fees in this regard belong to me and it does not violate the pharmacist's code."

The old man said harshly, "Pharmacists must teach by example, and only by forming a faction can they recruit people. You are neither a highly respected teacher nor the leader of a faction, so what right do you have to teach? As far as I know, you haven't formed your own organization."

Dole was speechless. He indeed did not set up his own organization.

He shrugged, "Okay, I accept this one."

The scene became quiet again, and everyone looked at Dolai in disbelief.

How could he admit it so easily? How is this possible? Almost everyone's eyes widened.

The old man was also stunned at this time. So happy? Could this be a trick? Combined with today's situation, he suddenly felt a little unconfident.

Slowly putting away his momentum, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about the second point. Abusing the dominant market position and setting prices arbitrarily. Do you admit it or not?"

At the questioning desk, some people were whispering to each other, saying that something was wrong today.

Dolai acted too calmly and admitted things very readily. He didn't act like someone being questioned at all, but rather like someone who was out for a picnic. You know, the consequences of this could be very serious.

Dolai also saw the situation at the questioning desk. Those people were staring at him fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him. How could he not pay attention?

After taking a look at the others, Dolai looked at the old man from the Pharmacist Union and said calmly, "I don't agree with this. The price of medicine is based on the raw materials of the medicine, the pharmacist's labor costs, professional fees, and other comprehensive costs. The value of the medicine itself is a result of convention, not the result of pricing by any person or organization. I think my technical level is high enough, the yield rate is high enough, and I can reduce a large part of the cost. Therefore, it is understandable to reduce the price of medicine. How can it be called an abuse of market dominance?"

The old man wanted to vomit blood. The price of medicine was indeed the result of custom, but it had been a custom for hundreds of years, and the price had been rising steadily and had never been reduced. Dolai lowered the market price of medicine in one fell swoop, which had already infringed the interests of other pharmacists.

"You arbitrarily lowered the price of medicines, disrupted the market, and caused a large number of pharmacists to reduce their incomes. And you still say that you did not disrupt the market?"

All the pharmacists present were staring at Dolai at this moment. This guy had indeed violated their interests, which was understandable.

Faced with this, the people at the questioning desk and the referee's desk looked at the Pharmacists' Union and Dolay with amusement.

This is where the main conflict between the Pharmacists' Union and Dolay lies.

Dolai smiled at this time, "What does this have to do with me? No matter what industry it is, the survival of the fittest is a common thing. We can't accommodate people with lower abilities when others have better abilities. This does not conform to the theory of market evolution, nor does it conform to the positive and progressive concept of our human race. People who don't make progress will sooner or later be eliminated by the market."

Dole's words were spoken mercilessly and without any mercy. Every word he said deeply shocked everyone's heart.

The old man felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Saying that the pharmacists' union's technology is outdated is intolerable!

"That's the result of our pharmacists' union over the years. How dare you say it's old?"

Dole shrugged and criticized directly, "Please judge these matters. I won't say more. You are holding on to old ideas, not making progress, and standing still. This is the current situation of your Pharmacists' Union."

Before the old man could say anything, a voice came from the referee's stand, "Next one, this one has passed. We in the Glory Wizard Guild unanimously agree that Dolai is correct in this one. Please remember that technology needs to be improved, not conservative. The Pharmacist Guild needs to reflect on this point."

Everyone looked towards the platform, and when they saw the person who was speaking, many of them retreated, including the old man, because the speaker was Pu Yousi.

His speech represented the Glorious Wizard Alliance and all wizards in the northwest.

No one expected that Pu Yousi would speak up for Doley and target the Pharmacists' Union. Everyone was shocked at this moment. It seemed that something was indeed wrong with what happened today.

The old man turned his head, looking solemnly at Pu Yousi, and said in a heavy voice, "President Pu Yousi, this is very important. This is also what our inquiry platform unanimously believes that Duolai should admit. Not only us, but also the Natural Force Organization, xxx Organization, and yyy Organization all agree on this. The major families are also suffering because of this."

Hearing this, most of the people at the questioning meeting nodded in unison.

Pu Yousi looked at the old man and was not interested in this matter. He said nonchalantly, "Didn't Dolai explain it just now? I think it's very good. Old concepts and old ideas should be eliminated and forgotten in the long river of history. If you think that sticking to the old is social progress, then I think there is something wrong with you as the president of the Pharmacists' Union. Shouldn't you replace him with someone else to promote the development of the pharmacist market again?"

Pu Yousi's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

What does this mean? Does it mean that the Honor Wizard Union admits that there are problems in the market and that the Apothecary Guild is corrupt and useless?

For a moment, the faces of people from all major organizations and forces changed.

Old and decayed, have they become synonymous with this in the mind of President Pu Yousi?

The old man swallowed, extremely shocked. He never expected that in the eyes of the Glorious Wizard Alliance, the pharmacist profession had become so unbearable.

He struggled fiercely in his heart and refused to admit the fact. In fact, the Pharmacists Union has been committed to the development of pharmacists for so many years and has never slacked off.
