Shao Jing saw Chen Shi off and sat motionless in his chair.
A box sat beside his hand, and inside that box were precisely the three hundred-odd mouse tail tips Chen Shi had sold to him.
His expression flickered with uncertainty.
I should place two of these items in Gathering Immortals Tower first, sell them at a low price, and then release a few more at a higher price. Soon someone will discover the wonderful use of this thing and spread the word, and surely people will come to buy them at high prices. By controlling the source of supply and continuously raising the price, I can definitely make a fortune.
I can also pre-order a batch of iron hats in advance in Xinxiang, Shuinui County, and other nearby county towns and provincial capitals. Once this item spreads, it will inevitably cause panic, and by then iron hats will become hot commodities that only I have on hand. If blacksmiths forge them, it takes too much time. If people want to protect themselves, they will have no choice but to buy from me. I can make another fortune.
I am a merchant, not a knight-errant. A merchant makes making money their supreme path. But... it will get a lot of people killed!
His expression grew terrified as he spoke in a low voice, "Thousands of maidens will lose their virtue because of this, thousands of people will die because of this, and many families will be broken and ruined! I should destroy this thing, burn it to cinders so as not to bring disaster upon the mortal world!"
He pulled out a Three Flavors True Fire Talisman, intending simply to slap it onto the box so the Samadhi True Fire would burn both the box and those tail tips down
