Chapter 1854 - 1857: A Huge Order—All the Dahe Luojianan Fragrance Bought Out!
Looking at the cultivators who awakened instantly, not only did Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's beautiful eyes light up, but the many powerhouses present looked on in shock, including Shen Qiang sitting at the table drinking tea with Master Jingwu."You, old monk, have quite a skill!" said Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang, looking at him. "To awaken so many people from meditation without any harm, this king cannot do it."
The Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect couldn't help but feel shocked, wanting to approach and make friends with Master Jingwu. But unfortunately, this exhibition stand was Shen Qiang's territory. If he forcibly approached, he would be met with sharp blades.
Upon hearing Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang's words, everyone praised the monk's strength.
Yet Shen Qiang merely smiled. This wasn't because Shen Qiang was overly arrogant, but because "Clear Heart and Wisdom" is a treatment method already within the Medical Saint Inheritance. If Shen Qiang were to intervene, although he couldn't do it as perfectly and effortlessly as Master Jingwu, it would still be a small trick easily achieved.
"Exquisite!" At this time, many cultivators who had just awoken from meditation were somewhat surprised by the arrival of these monks. However, they remained indifferent, for as cultivators, they focus more on their true selves.
"This Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is indeed a divine item. I've been cultivating for thirty years, and it's my first time feeling such a completely selfless state! Divine item, must buy!"
"I've long heard that just a small segment of this Dahe Luojianan Fragrance can help cultivators enter meditation, but I always thought it was Shen Qiang's promotional trick for selling incense. Yet, after witnessing it today, I realize I was nothing but a frog sitting in a well. This Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is far beyond what 'magical' can describe!"
"As an alchemist among the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, I shouldn't be saying this, but I must admit, Shen Qiang's Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is truly worthy of being called a sacred item. After the Elixir Pill conference is over, no matter what, I must go purchase some!"
Not only were they amazed, but even the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, looked at Shen Qiang with immense shock, with an inexplicable tightness in his heart: "This Shen Qiang, his elixirs are all divine grade, and his mastery in elixir making far surpasses us. I didn't expect that even an incense casually crafted by him would be so miraculous. If during the elixir evaluation, his strongest pill were to be assessed, it might skyrocket without a chance to suppress him anymore!"
Meanwhile, on the exhibition stage, Master Jingwu asked, "Shen, Benefactor Shen, how much Dahe Luojianan Fragrance does Heshenghe possess?"
Having just experienced the wonders of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, the numerous cultivators were suddenly silent, with everyone's gaze locked firmly on Shen Qiang.
After all, scarcity increases value, and the quality of this Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is indisputable.
But the production output, the quantity available, is critical. If there's a lot, then there's room for bargaining, and whether to buy earlier or later doesn't matter much. But if there's little, then it's best to strike first.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "This item is made from various Heaven and Earth Treasures, so the quantity is naturally limited, and the craftsmanship is exceedingly demanding. It takes precisely three hundred and seventy-one processes to make it. If you, master, wish to replace the usual sandalwood incense with this, unfortunately, that won't be possible."
Upon hearing this evasive answer that didn't give a number, the cultivator's eyes were filled with shock.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley nodded slightly and said, "Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, the scent calms the mind. Without the blending of Heaven and Earth Treasures, it wouldn't be possible at all."
Hearing this, everyone agreed, for the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is one of the twelve peaks in the Cultivation World. Who dares question his words?
But the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, clearly didn't want the Medicine King Valley Master to steal the spotlight, so he couldn't help but speak: "The Heaven and Earth Treasures remain to be verified, but these three hundred and seventy-one processes are indeed intriguing. Just the labor cost alone is astronomical."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and began whispering.
"It really is a treasure! Did you hear? Three hundred and seventy-one processes, even the auxiliary materials must not be ordinary!"
"Of course, such a sacred item, without hundreds of mysterious processes, how could it possibly be made?"
"There's a reason for the price. It's true that you get what you pay for; this principle doesn't change wherever you go. From this standpoint, I think Shen Qiang isn't that greedy; the price of this Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is honestly not too expensive."
Listening to the conversations of the many cultivators, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu managed to hold back her laughter, but Ye Guyun burst into laughter, unable to control herself.
"Haha, this is killing me," she transmitted to Shen Qiang. "Master, you're really good at fibbing. Isn't it just a big cart of sawdust, mixed with some fragrances and medicines, then put into a big iron box, extruded like noodles, and air-dried? Last time, I saw you casually make a big cart of it, haha, this..."
"Don't say anything," Shen Qiang cast her a sideways glance and transmitted, "Not a word."
She stopped speaking, but couldn't help wanting to laugh.
Many cultivators around frowned, secretly feeling superior internally as they thought,
This demon is truly ignorant, so unaware. Such a sacred item as Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, with its precious materials and complex processes, every aspect is a legacy treasure. Truly pitiful, this wicked demon will never understand.
Yet while they thought it, there were still cultivators who couldn't help but ask.
"How much is there really? You still haven't given us a definite number?"
Upon hearing this, gazing into Master Jingwu's inquisitive eyes, Shen Qiang smiled. The key to the elixir business lies in scarcity; this Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, Shen Qiang has plenty of it, enough to say if it needs to be sold off, there can be as much as needed.
But once there's too much, it loses its value.
So Shen Qiang smiled and said, "There are thirty thousand sticks in stock; for bulk purchases, the price per stick is one million. How much do you need, master?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
"More than thirty thousand sticks! Plenty! No worries, we can buy it after the Elixir Pill conference ends!"
"No rush, with so many, Shen Qiang definitely won't sell it all at once!"
"Hearing there are thirty thousand sticks, I'm not worried anymore."
Numerous alchemists among the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and cultivators thought impulsively.
But at that moment, Master Jingwu's sigh was heard: "Rare items are indeed scarce; even for the seventy-two ancient temples, merely for the main hall, including the incense on the first, eleventh, and fifteenth of the month, require seventy-two sticks. Seventy-two ancient temples need nearly five thousand two hundred sticks a year. If there's a Buddhist ceremony, even with careful use, at least ten thousand sticks are needed annually. So, these thirty thousand sticks of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, our temple will take them all. Huizhi, please pay!"
