Jiang Han completed her preliminary market research, making special note in her notebook of two types of magical herb: Redroot Grass and Dragon-Tongue Lavender. Unless something unexpected happened, the next few days of in-depth investigation would focus on determining which of the two sold better.
Emotionally, Jiang Han preferred Redroot Grass, which sold for 3 yuan per 500 grams, over Dragon-Tongue Lavender, which sold for 2 yuan 30 per 500 grams. Not only was its price higher, but it was also easier to cultivate than Dragon-Tongue Lavender.
But realistically, Jiang Han had no choice but to consider:
Why could something easier to grow sell for more than Dragon-Tongue Lavender, which was harder to cultivate? Was there some sort of problem?
Furthermore, in terms of spell compatibility, the ingredients required for many single-use potions or potions made into scrolls included Redroot Grass. It was an advanced form of basic magical herb, yet even with such applications, its sales volume still could not match Dragon-Tongue Lavender's.
The reason Jiang Han was considering these two plants was also because of their cultivation difficulty.
If cultivation difficulty were not a concern, she would have chosen to grow mandrake long ago!
That was a wildly profitable plant that could sell for 24,000 to 31,000 yuan per stalk. Even after deducting the 4,000-yuan seedling cost, there was still at least 20,000 yuan in profit! Judging by the people capable of growing mandrake, if Cen Jing could truly grow 500 of them, then buying ten million yuan's worth of real estate was genuinely feasible.
Unfortunately, high-value and precious magical herbs were all exceptionally delicate, and their cultivation cycles were long. For a plant like mandrake to grow once a year was already doing people a favor.
