The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 346

"Aiden, don’t you think you’re being a bit unfair to me here? I haven't even gotten any deals yet, and you want a billion dollars out of me?"

Daniel pointed at the Blood Ganoderma and said, "This thing is indeed Ganoderma, but it’s just a regular Ganoderma, not a Blood Ganoderma. It’s worth at most ten thousand dollars. Asking me for a billion? That’s inflating the price by a hundred thousand times. Are you serious?"

"Nonsense! How could this be just ordinary Ganoderma? This is Blood Ganoderma!"

Of course, Aiden wasn’t about to admit she had crafted a fake! The red color on the Ganoderma was achieved using some technical tricks, but the Ganoderma itself was definitely high-quality. Just the cost of the Ganoderma had set her back half a million. As for the fake touches, those were her own handiwork. The blood-red hues were made using ground rose petals, mixed with some peony and other flowers.

Daniel leaned in and sniffed the Blood Ganoderma. After a moment, he nodded as if understanding something.

"I know what fragrance I smelled earlier! It wasn’t from your perfume Aiden, but from this so-called Blood Ganoderma. If I’m not mistaken, you've used rose petals and peony petals, ground them into powder, and placed them on the Ganoderma to create this Blood Ganoderma, right?"

"Ridiculous! I did no such thing!"

Even though Daniel had figured it out, Aiden absolutely refused to confess. If she admitted that the Blood Ganoderma had only cost her half a million to make, then at most, she could sell it for a million. But if she didn’t admit it, even if she couldn’t sell it for a billion, even twenty or thirty million would be pretty good. Ordinary herbs could only earn ordinary profits, but dressing them up as spiritual medicine could increase the margin by a hundredfold!
