Chapter 147: Chapter 63 Giant Dragon Blood Goes on Sale!

Li Yu’s harvest this time was far more than just bringing several hundred newcomers to Green Field.

After the trial, the surviving members of the Weiting Family finally stopped watching and hesitating. They made up their minds and joined the big family of the Double Rest Sect.

And this meant that the Double Rest Sect’s biggest weakness had finally been remedied.

Although they had lost their status and all honors as nobles and had become commoners, the majority of these hundred or so people had received a good education, were fluent in reading and writing, and were deeply familiar with the various etiquettes of the nobility, as well as the customs and culture of the Bratis Continent.

No matter if they were used for educational purposes or sent out for missionary work in the future, they were adept at both. They perfectly complemented the lizard people, who were keen on fighting and not very fond of learning cultural knowledge.

In addition, no matter how outstanding the Silver Moon Church’s crisis PR was, it couldn’t deny one fact: Li Yu had indeed won this trial.

This also meant that the Silver Moon Church’s objective to attack Li Yu and the Double Rest Sect’s reputation had utterly failed. Moreover, due to the Silver Moon Church’s enthusiastic promotion beforehand, a large number of spectators had attended the event.

These people witnessed the entire process of the trial and would inevitably boast to their friends and family upon returning. Then their friends and family would further exaggerate the stories when telling others...

Consequently, in the following period, even if Li Yu did nothing, more and more people would come to know of him and his Double Rest Sect.

Obviously, the Silver Moon Church did not want to see such a situation occur, but at this point, caught in the scandal of the false miracle and also having their vulnerabilities held in Li Yu’s hands, they were powerless to target the Double Rest Sect, at least for the near future.

Li Yu also needed time to digest the gains from this trial.

In addition to being busy treating the sick and increasing the population for Green Field, he took advantage of the buzz from the event to launch a second product for trade three days later—giant dragon blood!

The name was suggested by Ireya. According to the young lady, there was a worship of dragons in the Western Territories when the Enríquez family ruled.

Legend had it that drinking dragon blood could make a man’s member double in size and become incredibly firm. To this day, many in the Western Territories still believed in this rumor, so it could be used as a selling point.

Li Yu willingly agreed and subsequently priced the Dragon Blood at twenty Gold Coins per piece.

The first batch was limited to a hundred pieces, on a first-come, first-served basis, while stocks lasted.

This price was undoubtedly exorbitant in Miss Rabbit’s opinion. After all, the monthly living expenses for a typical family of four added up to only around a half Gold Coin.

Twenty Gold Coins were enough for them to live on for three to four years, yet it could only offer the buyer a little more stamina in bed for a short while; by any account, it seemed a terribly bad deal. Would there really be fools willing to spend so much money?

The answer was yes, not only were there buyers, but there were also quite a few of them.

Miss Ireya had barely begun to spread the news about the sale of the Dragon Blood when a buyer quickly knocked on her door. He spent two hundred Gold Coins to buy ten pieces at once.

This man was a minor noble from Black Stone City. He claimed to know the fur merchant who had been cured of a secret illness by Li Yu and had heard of the miraculous effects of the Dragon Blood from a friend. He was quite intrigued, which is why he bought so many in one go.

However, Miss Rabbit guessed that he was just a runner, and the buyer behind him must be someone else; otherwise, even with some spare wealth, that minor noble wouldn’t be willing to spend so much money on this kind of thing.

After that person left, a few other scattered buyers came one after another, mostly local nobles.

They were not as forthcoming with their money, and they had lots of questions. Initially, to create an image of being a warm and hospitable host, and also to justify the thirty percent income shared by Li Yu, Miss Irelia personally received them.

As a result, it led to an awkward situation for both parties, and the young lady later handed over this task to her new steward.

A few days later, new customers visited. Yago couldn’t make the decision himself and brought the guests to Miss Irelia.

"You want to buy all the remaining giant dragon blood?" The young girl was taken aback.

"Not just the remaining, if you and Prophet Merlin have new giant dragon blood for sale in the future, we at Golden Fleece Commerce also hope that you can give us priority. For this, we are willing to raise the purchase price of each piece of giant dragon blood by two Gold Coins," said Frodo, the vice president of Golden Fleece Commerce, a Dwarf who made the offer, "This is a very sincere purchase price. Moreover, selling to us in one transaction can save you a lot of trouble. If you agree, we can sign the contract right now."

Hearing the other party’s words, Miss Rabbit became less anxious, leaned back in her chair, and said leisurely, "Twenty-two Gold Coins a piece is too low."

Frodo was taken aback, "But aren’t you also selling it for twenty Gold Coins now?"

"That is to make a name by selling at a low price. Vice President Frodo, as a businessman, you should be quite familiar with this common strategy in the business world."

Miss Irelia spoke offhand, "Producing giant dragon blood is not easy. It requires the blood of a dragon, think about how precious that is."

The Dwarf rolled his eyes, "Dragon Blood? Isn’t that just a gimmick? It’s been over three thousand years since dragons appeared on the Bratis Continent... What, are you telling me a dragon has suddenly appeared on your territory?"

"That’s right. The Arias family has already lost quite a number of people in dealing with that dragon," Miss Rabbit stated seriously.

Frodo didn’t believe such nonsense but knew that the purchase price of twenty-two Gold Coins was unlikely to secure the priority purchase of Dragon Blood, so he gritted his teeth and quoted a new number.

"Twenty-four Gold Coins. This is the limit price Golden Fleece can offer. Don’t talk to me about costs anymore, Miss Irelia. Your territory is also in the West, so you should be well aware that people around here generally don’t have much money. Even if the potions from the Double Rest Sect are good, it’s difficult to raise the price any higher."

The Dwarf was speaking the truth, and his sincere expression was quite persuasive.

Nevertheless, the young girl remained unmoved. Upon hearing this, a look of realization appeared on her face.

"Golden Fleece Commerce wants to resell the giant dragon blood to the wealthy in the Royal Capital. No wonder you are willing to raise the offer to secure the priority purchasing right. You are worried that the big companies in the Royal Capital will come directly to me after discovering how well giant dragon blood sells, offering an even higher price to buy out the stock."

Frodo’s face changed. He hadn’t expected this young lady, who was just a child, to think so quickly, completely unlike the rumors, and to guess the Golden Fleece Commerce’s intention to increase the purchase price so swiftly.
