It must be said that the Outer Mountain Valley is a remarkable place—redwood, precious medicinal herbs, top-tier mineral ores... any one of these, if brought out, would be something the wealthy would scramble to fight over.
Perhaps due to the environment in which it grows, furniture made from the redwood of the Outer Mountain Valley remains warm in winter and cool in summer, feeling incredibly comfortable to the touch. Furthermore, it requires little polishing to maintain a lustrous sheen, and the wood grain itself is exquisite. This type of redwood releases a unique, faint, woody fragrance year-round, which possesses astonishing medicinal properties; long-term use can improve blood circulation in the human body. For those suffering from vascular diseases, it is essentially a natural, harmless, and miraculous remedy. If middle-aged or elderly people were to spend long periods in an environment filled with this redwood, it would undoubtedly lead to greater longevity.
Then there are those top-quality, pure gemstones—treasures rarely seen in this world. In this era, such superior jade is almost a status symbol; it is as precious as it is expensive. If the jade from the Outer Mountain Valley were brought out, processed, carved into jewelry or ornaments, and paired with the right marketing strategy, it would surely sweep across the entire continent. By then, Shu He wouldn't even have to lift a finger to count her riches!
