Chapter 3739: Catastrophe For Wealthy Women’s Wallets
Lin Mu watched the two women in confusion.
He still did not understand why they reacted like this.
After all...
He had merely condensed Water essence mixed with his vitality.
Perfectly normal.
Inside the ring, Xukong watched through shared senses.
The giant spider covered his face with a leg.
"Lin Mu..."
"What?"
"You just accidentally told two women that their skincare came from your sweat."
Lin Mu paused.
Realization finally dawned.
"Oh."
Xukong sighed.
"Idiot."
Outside, Lady Kang had already recovered.
She looked at Lin Mu seriously.
"One question."
Lin Mu nodded.
"Can you mass produce this?"
Lin Mu thought for a few moments.
"I think so."
Lady Kang slowly smiled.
That smile made Min Ju step back.
It was the smile she made whenever absurd profits appeared.
Lady Kang tapped the barrel.
"Lin Mu."
"Yes?"
"You have accidentally created a catastrophe."
Lin Mu blinked.
"A catastrophe?"
Lady Kang nodded solemnly.
"For every wealthy woman in the Immortal Realm."
Min Ju quietly added.
"And for their wallets."
Lady Kang calmed down after the initial excitement and finally sat back in her chair again. Though the look in her eyes had not changed in the slightest. Lin Mu had seen that look before. It was the expression she made whenever she found something immensely valuable.
Min Ju had the same expression too.
The difference was that Lady Kang looked like she had found a treasure mountain while Min Ju looked like her worldview had received another heavy strike.
Lady Kang folded her hands and looked at Lin Mu seriously.
"Tell me everything."
Lin Mu blinked.
"Everything?"
"Yes. Production, origin, limitations, side effects, quantity, long term use, whether it can be copied, improved or replicated." Lady Kang spoke rapidly before leaning slightly forward. "And most importantly... Can someone else make it?"
Lin Mu thought for a moment.
"Replicating it is probably impossible."
The two women paused.
"It comes from my body." Lin Mu explained. "It is a byproduct of my body cultivation."
Understanding appeared in Lady Kang’s eyes immediately.
Min Ju nodded too.
Body cultivators were special.
Their bodies themselves became treasures.
Their blood, flesh, bones, hair and skin all held value after enough refinement. There were entire underground markets that hunted body cultivators because of that. Evil cultivators harvested them just like immortal beasts.
Some body cultivators sold strands of hair for absurd prices because their hair could be woven into robes stronger than immortal silk.
Against that background, Supple Skin Mystic Water suddenly became far easier to understand.
Lady Kang tapped the table.
"So only you can make it."
"Probably." Lin Mu nodded.
"Good." Lady Kang smiled.
Lin Mu raised a brow.
"Good?"
"If others could make it, competition would appear." Lady Kang replied calmly. "If only you can make it..." she smiled wider, "...then the entire market belongs to us."
Min Ju silently wrote that down.
Lin Mu felt a little sorry for the future competitors.
Lady Kang continued.
"How much can you make?"
"A lot." Lin Mu replied honestly. "Given enough time."
"What limits production?"
"Food and water."
Min Ju stopped writing.
She slowly looked up.
"What?"
Lin Mu repeated himself.
"I just need to eat and drink."
Silence.
Min Ju stared at him.
Then at the barrel.
Then back at him.
The woman felt slightly dizzy.
In front of her sat a walking factory capable of creating one of the greatest beauty products she had ever seen and his production requirement amounted to eating meals and drinking water.
Lady Kang had already moved on.
"Testing." She said immediately.
Min Ju instantly took out tools from her storage treasure.
Small crystal vessels appeared.
Refining dishes.
Measuring arrays.
Detection talismans.
Several jade slips.
They transformed the room into a miniature laboratory in moments.
Lin Mu watched curiously.
Lady Kang took small portions of Supple Skin Mystic Water and began testing.
Potency.
Purity.
Vitality content.
Absorption rate.
Reaction with immortal energy.
Min Ju even applied diluted samples onto different immortal papers and specially prepared skin testing talismans.
Hours passed.
Results piled up.
Eventually Lady Kang placed the final jade slip down.
Her eyes shone.
"One hundred times."
Lin Mu looked up.
"What?"
"It still works at one hundred times dilution." Lady Kang stated.
Min Ju nodded.
"The effects reduce but remain obvious."
Lady Kang immediately began writing.
"Highest tier product. Pure Supple Skin Mystic Water."
She wrote another line.
"Middle grade products. Ten times dilution."
Another line.
"Common premium market. Hundred times dilution."
More lines appeared.
"Lotions."
"Oils."
"Bath essence."
"Face creams."
"Beauty masks."
"Immortal skin restoration products."
Min Ju added things too.
"Hair products."
"Body nourishment solution."
"Longevity skin treatment."
Lady Kang looked at Lin Mu.
"Do you understand what this means?"
Lin Mu shook his head.
"You are about to invade the beauty market."
Lin Mu looked blank.
Lady Kang laughed.
"The beauty market is terrifying."
Min Ju nodded solemnly.
"Scarier than wars."
Lin Mu was not sure if she was joking.
Lady Kang continued planning.
"This can combine with existing beauty products too. We’ll have specialist alchemists handle formulations."
She smiled proudly.
"The Great Kang Clan has an entire division dedicated to beauty products."
Lin Mu was not surprised anymore.
The Great Kang Clan seemed to have a division for everything.
Lady Kang suddenly took out a spatial treasure.
She handed it directly to Lin Mu.
"Advance payment."
Lin Mu accepted it without checking.
He already knew she would never shortchange him.
If anything, she probably paid extra.
Min Ju meanwhile carefully transferred the original barrel into a special crystal box.
Several talismans were placed onto it.
Lady Kang activated them.
The box vanished.
Lin Mu raised a brow.
"What happened?"
"Sent to the ship." Lady Kang replied.
Min Ju was already sending messages through jade slips.
Orders flowed immediately.
Research teams.
Alchemists.
Preservation experts.
Security personnel.
Lady Kang’s fleet instantly became busy.
"I brought alchemists with me." Lady Kang explained. "They’ll analyze it and send reports to the clan."
Lin Mu nodded.
Then Lady Kang looked at him.
"Make more."
