Huo Caoye is an excellent medicinal material, essential for the Long Void Water Clan to produce several types of medicines. This herb can also be found in some other planets, but in limited quantities.
At the Survivor Fortress, due to harsh cultivation conditions, only a few super clans can produce it in small amounts, leading to its exorbitant market price.
Now, having discovered this patch of Huo Caoye, it is roughly estimated that they could collect over several hundred catties of it, which would be sufficient for the Long Void Water Clan for quite some time.
He had told Ye Zhongming that the market price of Huo Caoye is around ten thousand years gold per catty, which means that just these Huo Caoye leaves would be valued at several million years gold.
"This herb has high medicinal value; in fact, just for this, it’s enough to make our venture worthwhile," Ye Zhongming didn't elaborate too much.
"Secondly, the stem part of Huo Caoye above the surface, when peeled, reveals a white pouch inside known as the 'Wisdom Bag.' It is an excellent medicine for treating mental toxins and injuries, and after processing, it can still be used in medicines or placed in accessories for restoring mental strength and resisting mental impact."
Everyone wasn't artisans or pharmacists, and coming from small clans, their knowledge on such matters was limited; yet, since Ye Zhongming said so, they believed him.
"Then there are the underground parts of these Huo Caoye. The numerous root systems are indeed their weapons, but once they are taken down, they will become excellent materials for weapon manufacturing."
Ye Zhongming didn't say much about this either, but in his view, these underground roots, as hard as iron, are the most important and valuable resource.
He had stumbled upon this root system previously and purchased one from the Su Clan. After his processing, the King of Cloud Summit was almost perfectly conquered by the attributes of this material.
This stuff is simply a miracle solution, especially when your weapons need both sharpness and toughness; using these roots as materials is almost a sure thing.
Moreover, it has a remarkable effect on equipment using Tarros Red Dwarf technology because of its excellent plasticity.
At that time, Ye Zhongming bought a five-meter-long Huo Caoye root aged thirty years for five thousand years gold, but it was used in at least five pieces of Crimson Condensation Equipment, showing its cost-effectiveness.
Though he didn't know the age of these Huo Caoye, it was likely longer than the one he purchased from the Su Clan. Ye Zhongming estimated that in this Huo Nest, they could produce over ten thousand roots, valued at least over fifty million years gold!
Faced with such a vast fortune, how could Ye Zhongming let it slip away?
This is precisely why the planet hunting grounds have a strong allure for all races of the universe! Wealth is everywhere; it all depends on whether you have the ability to obtain it.
"If we take this place, since the materials will belong to me, I will give each of you a piece of Crimson Condensation Equipment and a fourth-tier permanent enhancement drug for body data."
Everyone was excited.
A piece of Crimson Condensation Equipment would cost at least several tens of thousands of years gold, and a fourth-tier drug made by the Long Void Water Clan, especially one that permanently increases body attributes, would be similarly priced. Together, they could easily add up to sixty or seventy thousand, even seventy or eighty thousand.
For them, how long would it take to accumulate such wealth?
Indeed, they were aware that Ye Zhongming had to take out so much money all at once; the total needed for the twenty-eight of them could be two hundred million years gold. His earnings would certainly be much more, possibly several times more, but that is what he rightfully deserves. After all, he worked hard not only to strategize but also to continuously enhance everyone's strength, providing medicine for injuries and protection against dangers.
