Chapter 2087  A True Businesswoman

When Lady Kang finally laid her eyes on the milky pool of liquid emitting the scent of Petrichor, she immediately recognized it.

”Pure Petrichor Cave Milk!” She exclaimed seeing the sheer amount of it present. ”Indeed.” Lin Mu nodded.

”This amount… Thisʼll be enough for the Great Kang Auction House to last for at least a decade!” Lady Kang said excitedly.

Now hearing that, Lin Mu was surprised.

”A decade? Do you mean the Great Kang Auction house will use it personally, or sell it?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Both of course. For the optimum profits, we would have to split it into a 65:35 split. Thirty five percent of it will be sold as it is, to generate the cash inflow, while sixty five percent of it will be given to our own alchemists to make pills, which in turn will earn a higher profit margin.” Lady Kang answered quickly, her eyes shining with the experience of thousands of years of business.

”Huh… So it isnʼt better to sell it as it is…” Lin Mu spoke, wondering how much the profits would be from the pills. ”Considering the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk so rare, would the pills made from it really yield that high of a profit?” he questioned.

”Theoretically speaking, if we sold the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk as it is weʼd make 100 units of profits. But if we split it as we said, and employed our own alchemist to make the pills and then sell them, weʼd make about 230 units of profit.” Lady Kang answered. ”And this is even when we deduct the base costs such as labor and raw materials!”

”That… is indeed quite high.” Lin Mu hadnʼt expected it to be that much. ”Of course, this profit margin isnʼt something just anyone can replicate. They would need the exact kind of expertise our people have, as well as the right connections to have them sold fast enough to generate the most profit.” Lady Kang explained again, with quite a lot of enthusiasm.

ʼShe really is a businesswoman through and through.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself.

The shift in Lady Kangʼs tone and behavior was enough for Lin Mu to grasp it fully now. The woman definitely thrived in business and even enjoyed it greatly.

ʼNo wonder she managed to take the Great Kang Auction House to such a level on her own.ʼ Lin Mu couldnʼt help but feel impressed by moneymaking abilities. ”How about I give it all to you?” he suddenly spoke, thinking of something.

”You mean, giving it to me to sell?” Lady Kangʼs merchant instinct immediately grasped what Lin Mu intended.

”Yes.” Lin Mu replied. ”Of course, Iʼll keep some amount for myself if I ever need it, but I think itʼll be best to give it to you to sell it according to your business plan.” He added.

”That is, of course, possible.” Lady Kang replied. ”We are the Great Kang Auction house, and it is one of our services to do commissions such as these.” She added.

”Itʼs settled then.” Lin Mu replied. ”You can handle my share and sell as you see fit.” ”Alright,” Lady Kang said before turning to the milky pool.

She then pulled her left sleeve back, revealing a bracelet with several charms hanging on it. She plucked one of the charms, which then expanded into a large porcelain bottle. It was pure white in color with several delicate designs on it that were painted in blue and green.

~pop~

She opened its cap and pointed it at the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk pool, causing the liquid to fly out!

~WHOOSH!~

The milky liquid turned into a flying river, which entered the mouth of the porcelain bottle. The bottle was about fifteen centimeters tall and eight centimeters at its widest point, and yet it was swallowing up more liquid than should be possible for its volume.

ʼA Spatial Storage tool… But one thats intended for specific kinds of materials.ʼ Lin Mu quickly identified.

Not all spatial storage tools were perfect for keeping all types of materials. Even if they were kept inside, they would still deteriorate and as such, resources like herbs, pills and more were kept in special preservative boxes that maintained their quality.

But this often meant that one had to carry extra boxes and more just to keep them and if they encountered too many raw resources that they could not store, they would end up wasting them. To solve this problem, special Spatial Storage tools like these were made.

They were specialized for different types of resources, like in the case of this porcelain bottle that was meant for liquid alchemical resources. The porcelain bottle could not only hold one, but many types of liquids at once. Every liquid would have different conditions for preserving them, and the bottle was able to identify this and apply those conditions automatically due to how it was made.

With how valuable the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk was, the bottle would be able to maintain it at its best quality like it was here, since it was prone to spoil when it came in contact with higher concentrations of immortal Qi. As such, the porcelain bottle would make an environment that was devoid of Qi, keeping the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk in its best condition.

~pop~

About five minutes later, all the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk was gathered up, leaving only about a liter of it left behind. Lady Kang put the cap of the bottle back on and took out another smaller vial and pointed it at the pool again.

~Whoosh~

The last one liter of the Pure Petrichor Cave Milk was drawn into it which she then handed to Lin Mu.

”Would that be enough?” She asked. ”Or do you want to keep more?” ”I think a liter would be enough.” Lin Mu nodded. ”After all, most alchemist only use a drop or two of it when making a batch of pills.” Lady Kang nodded before taking out a blank scroll. She tapped on it as hundreds of words appeared on it before she handed it to Lin Mu.
