Chapter 316 - 194: Making the Best Use of Everything_2
He also said that the fragrance essence from the Dragon Fragrance Tree was suitable for men, so he would make it into a men’s fragrance. However, these few leaves could only make two small bottles.
Every sentence from Master Jin was like a steel needle, piercing Qian Yixiu with pain. At that time, she had only wanted to bring back the Serpent Vine Chrysanthemum safely, never considering that the thing capable of suppressing its fragrance might also be a treasure.
Nevertheless, Qian Yixiu didn’t dare let Monkey Brother risk further danger by retrieving that Dragon Fragrance Branch. Such a fragrant branch could lead to unknown troubles on the way back.
Indeed, it confirmed the old saying, "What’s yours will be yours, and what’s not will never be."
Qian Yixiu didn’t dare show the Bai Zhu and Pink Pearl to Qian Sangui just yet, as these objects were too heaven-defying. She would deal with them later. After sorting through the slightly inferior pearls, there were eight pearls, each worth more than a thousand taels, and more than sixty, each worth a hundred taels.
Grandfather Sangui was overjoyed when he saw these dozens of pearls, whispering, "Just this small pouch of pearls is worth more than ten thousand silver, worth more than all of our family’s properties."
Qian Yixiu laughed, "Pearls are inanimate; they cannot generate money. But properties are alive; they will earn more and more, and they will surely be worth more than the pearls when accumulated."
Qian Sangui took out four large pearls and twenty small ones, leaving the rest with Qian Yixiu to take quietly to her husband’s family in the future. He instructed her to keep the place that produced pearls, Golden Lotus Roots, Golden Honey Peaches, and Spiritual Objects a secret in her heart, never to be revealed to anyone.
He would find an excuse for his use of the pearls in his hands, whether for personal use or to pass on to the next generation.
