Hearing Qin Mo's suddenly stiff question, Wang Yushi was stunned. She had been suppressing her anger, and now Qin Mo dared to act tough with her.

"Entering a realm is not so easy. Whether it's entering the Earth Realm from the Profound Realm or entering the Earth Realm from the Earth Realm, one must seek that elusive opportunity. If you ask me when I will enter the realm, perhaps I will... perhaps I will never have hope in my lifetime."

"However... I'll definitely be ahead of you, hehe!"

Looking at Qin Mo's cold face, Wang Yushi couldn't help but sneer. The Profound Realm is still a long way from the Earth Realm, let alone the Realm.

Qin Mo felt Wang Yushi's sarcasm and became even angrier. He couldn't beat Wang Yushi, but that didn't mean he would let others ridicule him.

"This alcohol purification technique is like advancing in one's cultivation level. It seems simple to you, but without someone to guide you, when will you be able to understand it?"

"I naturally can't understand it, because I am not a winemaker."

"Does your palace lack master brewers? I don't believe they haven't tried brewing strong liquor in the past three years."

Qin Mo said bitterly that she had handed over the secret of distillation, and the loss was not just a matter of no longer being able to exchange it for the "medicine". How big was the market for high-proof liquor? Thinking that she was no longer the only one and could no longer enjoy the huge profits from strong liquor, Qin Mo's heart was bleeding.

Wang Yushi was momentarily speechless, her face turning red with frustration. For the past three years, the Royal Distillery had been attempting to brew high-proof spirits; which military or powerful family hadn't tried? Yet, without exception, they had all failed.

Distillation equipment may seem simple, but it involves heating and evaporation, as well as low-temperature cooling. Asking an illiterate brewer with no knowledge of physics to figure it out is no less difficult than asking someone who doesn't even know what a hero is to play a ranked match. (That's what I am.)

Wang Yushi tried several times to refute Qin Mo's point, but couldn't come up with the right words. Qin Mo's point was valid, but she would never compare the secret of alcohol to the entry into the country.

"The royal family's 'medicines'... are not easy to concoct; many ingredients are even only found in the Western Regions. You've traded so much cheap alcohol for so many 'medicines,' which will definitely cause controversy. I... just..."

Wang Yushi also sensed Qin Mo's anger. After all, Qin Mo had kept his promise of three years, and she had already gotten what she wanted. She shouldn't cause trouble. However, thinking about the accusations against Qin Mo that would inevitably arise when she returned, Wang Yushi felt wronged for standing in front of him and shielding him from the storm.

"Danfeng! I handed over the formula and process to the royal family, not to the Great Xia. After you return, you must strictly supervise it and ensure that the formula does not fall into the hands of anyone else. Do you understand?"

"You are...you are hiding...the secret of the formula?"

"What do you mean by concealing something? This is a trade secret... Do you understand? Even if you make it a state secret, that wouldn't be good either."

"You mean... I should also sell strong liquor at a high price?" Wang Yushi's thoughts suddenly took a turn, and everything became clear. She suddenly realized that she had been on the wrong path all along, and Qin Mo had lit a lamp for her.

"Of course, we can't raise the price for the military, but for the civilians... there are still many wealthy people in Great Xia."

Wang Yushi narrowed her eyes and curled her lips up. She suddenly felt that being a "cunning" businesswoman... might not be so bad.
