Does it look like the real deal?” Yue Feng casually picked up a portion of herbal powder from the table to show to his live streaming brothers.

“Awesome, awesome!

Impressive, impressive!!”

“Is Yue Feng about to pull off a big move?”

“He seems so professional!

Did Yue Feng use his own homemade Musk Wine while fishing before?”

“Is it for sale?

Yue Feng, this is too professional, obviously much more so than those scamming ‘masters’!”

Yue Feng put down the medicine and said, “Old rules, it’s not for sale, but once it’s ready, I can make some giveaways for a free lottery for the brothers in the live streaming room to try out!

Also, I want to correct a viewer’s statement just now—we make Musk Herbal Wine, not Musk Wine!

Musk is a mixture, rich in various large-ring musk compounds like Musk Ketone, steroidal compounds like Testosterone, Estrogen, Cholesterol.

There are many amino acids like Aspartic acid, serine, and other components like Urocanic Acid, Protein kinase activator.”

Among these main ingredients, many components are soluble in alcohol, but there are also parts that are not soluble in alcohol.

If used simply to infuse wine, many components could not perform effectively, greatly reducing its overall performance!

While researching ancient texts, I was lucky to accidentally find a recipe for Musk Herbal Wine.

I had friends check it out and the combination was basically fine, so it was worth a try!

That’s why we have today’s live stream!!”

“Holy moly, Yue Feng is so professional~!”

“Isn’t Musk Ketone the active ingredient in musk?

What the hell are all those other terms and substances?”

“The guy above must be a simpleton, Musk Ketone is the main component of synthetic musk!”

“Dammit, I got tricked by that previous streamer, he told me Musk Ketone is the main component of musk, and his Musk Wine is guaranteed to have real active ingredients!

Even supports testing and identification, a fine of ten thousand for each fake!”

Yue Feng merely provided a bit of basic knowledge that could be found anywhere, yet it caused quite a stir in the live streaming room.

Many unscrupulous streamers were just exploiting the hype around Musk Wine to make dishonest money, without a thorough understanding of the details, but once Yue Feng educated everyone, he exposed many deceptive ‘masters’ and their cover-ups.

Seeing that the live stream room got a bit out of control, Yue Feng continued, “I saw a viewer just now saying the main component of musk is Musk Ketone, which is correct!

Whether it’s synthetic musk, farmed musk, or wild musk, the main component is still Musk Ketone!

But all this talk about ‘supporting identification,’ that’s just semantics.

How should we understand this?

Currently, the main criterion for identifying musk in our country is based on the content of Musk Ketone, which gives those people an opportunity!”

“Does that mean that synthetic musk used for brewing could be sold as wild musk to anglers, and they wouldn’t even be able to detect it?” someone else continued to ask.

Yue Feng read this comment and grinned: “That’s another little loophole!

Whether it’s official institutions or elsewhere testing, they only provide a material identification report, not an authenticity report!

They’ll only tell you what’s in there, how much of it there is, but whether the source is wild or synthetic, they can’t directly identify it!

‘Supports testing and identification’ under the small category of Musk Wine is just a way of exploiting loopholes in the rules!”

“Damn, I got scammed again!

I spent 288 on it!”

“You’re lucky; I bought the super high-concentration limited edition for 1688 and haven’t said anything yet!”

“Same, 1688, but I was a bit luckier—the seller even threw in a rod worth 2000!”

Musk Wine circles were chaotic, and Yue Feng had mentally prepared himself before starting the livestream, but it took less than ten minutes into the broadcast for Yue Feng to realize he had seriously underestimated how disordered it was.

How are these even related?

Buying Musk Wine for 1688 and getting a rod worth 2000, is the seller an idiot?

Obviously not; any clever person could see the catch here.

“Okay, enough, stop!!!” Yue Feng interrupted the barrage of complaints and scam stories from viewers in the livestream.

“Today’s livestream is about brewing Musk Wine and giving you a bit of general knowledge about musk!

Let’s not discuss other sellers’ comments!

All I can say is, due to the asymmetry of information, buyers are never as clever as the sellers!

Everyone should try to stay a bit calmer when spending money.”

Now, let’s showcase today’s highlight!

What real musk looks like!”

After speaking, Yue Feng put on disposable sterile gloves and took out the 5g of musk that had been delivered by courier.

“This musk was collected from a four-year-old musk deer; it took a lot of connections to get my hands on it!

Thanks to friends, the cost was just under nine hundred per gram!

You all can take a close look at the details of the musk through the high-definition camera!”

While speaking, Yue Feng took out a shallow glass dish, poured the musk from the sealed bag, and meticulously collected even the powder that stuck to the packaging—it’s all money after all, more expensive than gold.

“The real musk has quite a complex composition!

During its formation, it mixes with some fallen hair and the peeling inner layers of the gland.

Do you see the white silver flakes I’m pointing with the tweezers?

Those are called ‘Silver Skin’!

And there’s the gold-tinted hair inside; that’s called ‘Gold Hair,’ which grows at the fragrance-gathering spot of the gland!

Lastly, these are musk glands; in these five grams of musk I have, there are two musk glands, these ones right here!”

While speaking, Yue Feng used tweezers to pick out one larger and one smaller bean-shaped brown sphere from the slightly oily powder.

The color of these was nearly the same as the regular powder, just a tad darker; one was the size of a green bean, the other slightly smaller than a soybean.

“Is this the musk gland?

It doesn’t seem quite right; the ones I’ve seen in other livestreams were a bit larger and more round!

With only two musk glands in these five grams of musk, could I have been cheated?” someone immediately commented in the livestream.

Seeing this, Yue Feng chuckled and explained, “Actually, the musk gland isn’t really that valuable, and high-quality musk isn’t judged by the quantity of musk glands!”

“So what is a musk gland?

Can you explain it, Brother Feng?”

Yue Feng continued, “The musk gland is akin to a sort of sickly foreign body reaction!

Everyone knows about pearls; they’re created by sand getting into a clam’s flesh!

It’s similar with musk glands; foreign bodies like the peeling inner wall of the gland, or ‘Silver Skin’, can get into the musk gland.

The musk encapsulates these foreign materials, and over time, they interact and transform, becoming a false standard by which some conflate to assess the quality of musk!
