A liang of Agarwood costs ten liang of gold.
A small, pure black piece of insect-damaged agarwood, not much larger than a fingernail, takes twenty or thirty years to form. This type of fragrant wood was one of the most precious materials in ancient times.
Unlike the devalued small-leaf camphor wood in modern times.
Authentic antique insect-damaged agarwood from Qiong Dao is sold by the gram, ranging from one thousand to three thousand yuan per gram at auction, with larger pieces fetching millions.
Using this kind of material to prevent insect damage is truly extravagant.
"Isn't agarwood made by insects? How can it prevent insects from damaging it?" Gu Weijing was puzzled.
