Leisurely enjoying roast meat and looking at the bustling street, Shen Qiang, rare to enjoy a moment of relaxation and peace, left the barbecue restaurant after receiving a delivery call and returned to Heshenghe Mountain Villa.

Actually, when Qian Shanxue, Ali, and Ye Xiaolei left, Shen Qiang was pondering a question: Do the monks of Doushi Temple really prohibit the Dragon Group from taking Shi Shengyi's belongings and the incense made through murder just out of respect for Shi Shengyi?

Not necessarily.

Because whether considering from a monk's perspective or an ordinary person's point of view,

Shi Shengyi is a killing demon, which is an undisputed fact.

In such a situation, even if the Dragon Group members are a bit rough, the monks of Doushi Temple have no reason to refuse them to take those things.

The only possibility is that the monks of Doushi Temple need those incenses.

So, even knowing it's evidence, which should be handed over to the Dragon Group, they still chose to confront.

In such a situation,

unless by force, Qian Shanxue going there would be useless.

Those monks still won't agree to let them move things.

And apart from using force,

the simplest solution is to use another type of incense as a replacement.

And this is what Shen Qiang has wanted to do ever since understanding the case.

After a rough estimate, Shen Qiang was clear that there are about 500 million Buddhist believers worldwide, and countless monasteries.

Their most important daily expense is burning incense and praying to Buddha.

So, as long as Shen Qiang's incense is good enough, earning money is absolutely not an issue, and it would be a lot of money.

He returned to Heshenghe Mountain Villa.

The butler, Uncle Gui, was standing outside the back courtyard door, looking at the few delivery trucks curiously.

"Boss, what's this?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Oh, just something to play with." While speaking, Shen Qiang settled the bill with the delivery people and then had them unload the goods.

When those Chinese herbal medicines and a truckload of sawdust were poured in the back courtyard of Heshenghe Mountain Villa,

the numerous demons peeking around the villa were all stunned.

"What's the boss doing, what's the use of getting so much sawdust?"

"I don't know, I smelled the scent of poplar bark, so I bet those sawdust must be poplar sawdust."

"What about those herbs? Is the boss planning to practice alchemy? I heard our boss is really skilled at alchemy."

"Nonsense, mixing poplar sawdust and Chinese herbal medicine for alchemy? Wouldn't that make a fortune? Don't be fooled by that truckload of sawdust looking like a lot; excluding the delivery cost, that truckload of sawdust is only worth a few hundred bucks."

"Seven hundred twenty bucks a truckload of sawdust sure is cheap." At this time, after the delivery folks left, Shen Qiang waved his hand, storing the various medicines and sawdust into three Storage Rings and two Qiankun Bags at the door.

Then Shen Qiang took these materials into a side room on the back courtyard side.

Uncle Gui, with a curious look in his eyes, asked, "Do you need my help?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "You could help."

Then, the window of the back courtyard's recreational room opened, and Miao Xiaoxia helplessly called from beside the window, "Shen Qiang, they're one short for mahjong; they called you..."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You play with them, I'm busy."

After entering the side room, Shen Qiang's expression turned excited.

Sandalwood, is a type of wood with natural fragrance.

But in fact, this wood itself can make objects and is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine.

But under normal circumstances, the sandalwood used for burning in temples is mostly just added with essence.

Because the sandalwood tree is actually a semi-parasitic plant, its growth rate is extremely slow, usually taking decades to mature.

It's one of the slowest-growing tree species and is divided into white sandalwood, yellow sandalwood, purple sandalwood, and so on.

Take the often-worn bracelet wood, purple sandalwood; a ton of small-leaf purple sandalwood from India costs more than 2 million yuan per ton of raw material.

That means the raw material price of one gram of purple sandalwood is over 2 yuan.

But a box of commonly seen delicately packaged sandalwood only sells for a few yuan, so it's not hard to guess that Shen Qiang could confirm they're just artificially scented.

Not only that, but a multitude of materials can actually be used to make incense.

Du Huo, Moon Qilin Fragrance, Nard, Suhe, Anxi, Curcuma, Naduo, Heluo, Clove, Agarwood, Sandalwood, Musk, Wu Chenxiang, White Brain Fragrance, Angelica dahurica, Du Huo, Nard, Three Nais, Patchouli, Gao Ben, Galangal, Fennel, Wood, Mother Clove, Asarum, Da Huang, Frankincense, Ga Nan Fragrance, Water Anxi, Rose petals, Borneol, Dragon Saliva…

These can all be used to make calming incense.

The incense that Shen Qiang wants to make is called Dahe Luojianan Fragrance.

This incense, when burned, produces a unique aroma that makes cultivators feel incredibly at peace, preventing any deviating thoughts or actions.

Therefore, it is most suitable for use in cultivation and worship.

The most important thing is that the raw material cost of this is super cheap.

Poplar sawdust, plus some material with unique fragrance.

Mix their powder in a certain ratio, shape them, and let them dry.

This thing is extremely simple to make.

As an Alchemist, Shen Qiang doesn't even need a machine to make it.

Moreover, the speed is very fast.

Not only that, after making a batch of long-stick incense, Shen Qiang didn't have much time to let them dry slowly.

Instead, he called upon some demons in the villa who could quickly dry the incense to a state suitable for burning.

Their methods varied, some evaporating moisture with heat, some absorbing moisture.

Regardless.

By around nine in the evening, the first batch of incense was made.

Looking at the large number of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance made in the side room, many of the helping demons and Uncle Gui wore awkward expressions.

"Boss, with all your busy work, why make this stuff?"

"Yeah, you can buy this cheaply; why trouble yourself?"

Hearing their words, Shen Qiang smiled.

Took one of the granted Dahe Luojianan Fragrance incense and lit it, then directly inserted it into the wall gap outside the side room.

In an instant, the demons present were stunned, and momentarily, even a few demons became serene.

Not only that.

Usually never appearing in the back courtyard unless called upon, Ji Wei suddenly appeared beside Shen Qiang. Astonished, he looked at the incense smoke, exclaiming, "Boss, there's something peculiar about this incense. After smelling it, the killing intent in my heart dissipates without needing suppression."

Hearing this, the other demons seemed to realize something they hadn't before.

"Exotic Treasure! With this incense, I won't make mistakes!"

"Great stuff, with it, my cultivation will be smoother!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled slightly but before he could speak.

The female secretary, Ke Bizhu, bearing the unique fragrance of Sleeping Fire Lotus, suddenly appeared in front of Shen Qiang. She bent down to sniff the fragrance of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, looking intoxicated, her perfect willow waist and raised hips, like a painting.

"Boss, such an exotic treasure, could you sell Bizhu some? Name your price!"
