Xu Yang sought out several stores for agarwood prices, and all the quotes were very high.
At least half a million for some, and up to eighty thousand for others.

Top-grade wild Insect Buried Incense, and by the look of it, at least a century old.
Meaning, the agarwood tree had already been infested with insects a hundred years ago, causing infection, then continuously healing to form what it was.

I heard that the price offered in the Southern areas could be even higher.
Because in the South, some affluent areas have a flourishing culture of appreciating fragrances, with many century-old businesses.
That top-grade agarwood would definitely find a buyer.
