Su Changkong closed the courtyard door and started to check the medicine materials in the package.
"A total of 50 portions."
The materials in the package sufficient for refining Dragon Blood Pills could produce fifty furnaces' worth, with an average cost of 40,000 taels of silver per portion—more than ten times the cost of the Qi-Blood Pills!
Su Changkong also understood that if he really were to purchase them, the price per portion would be much more than that. Hong Zhenxiang had given him the pills at cost, without making a single penny from him.
If he were to buy them on the market, some of the materials were completely monopolized. Without the right connections, the price of these materials would at least double, if one could even obtain them!
The State Governor Mansion wanted to win Su Changkong over and naturally offered him the most favorable prices, essentially making no profit, which in effect meant taking a loss.
