"Brewing tea is just the basic way to consume the Secret Spirit Sunflower; there are actually other forms as well."

As he spoke, Xi Hu tapped his pipe and said to the two of them:

"It can also be dried in the sun and, with a small amount of seasoning, made into Yaoyang smoke. This stuff is more effective than Xu Ri tea."

"Add a small amount of seasoning..."

Hearing this, Wang Yan had a feeling that what had been added wasn't anything good.

"However, in my opinion, these things are somewhat outdated. Not long ago, I developed a new method for consuming the Secret Spirit Sunflower."

Xi Hu seemed to get excited as she spoke, her voice rising slightly as if she had something good to share.

She reached out and rummaged in a ditch, which made Wang Yan's lips twitch slightly. "Aren't you sisters? Do you all like to hide things in places like that?"

Xi Hu pulled out a small, flat tin can, his face beaming with excitement. He opened it, poured out a small amount of fine powder mixed with purple and green, and said to the two of them:

"I discovered that if you mix a small amount of spirit leaves together to make a powder, and then use a straw..."

Just as Xi Hu was about to reveal some rule-breaking information, Wang Yan broke out in a cold sweat. In order to maintain the stability of the current world, he hurriedly stopped Xi Hu.

"Hey hey hey!!! We don't need this! Just give us the most basic Sunshine Tea, please!"

Hearing that Wang Yan had suddenly interrupted her, Xi Hu was clearly not very interested and reluctantly put the small jar back in its original place, her face clearly showing that she didn't know what she was talking about.

In reality, this thing is more like the snuff that Master Jing used to smell, which was invented by Xi Hu. However, having received very strict anti-drug education since childhood, Wang Yan naturally detests this thing and will not tolerate anything similar.

"Sigh, this stuff is much stronger than inhaling Yaoyang cigarettes directly, what a pity~"

Wang Yan forced an awkward smile, as if he hadn't heard her words, and hurried to pay the bill.

A daily dose of the tea bag costs 6 silver coins, and a monthly supply would cost 180 silver coins. Wang Yan rummaged through his backpack, pulled out the corresponding amount of silver, took the tea bag, and was thinking of leaving this place as soon as possible. Xi Hu leaned against the door frame, exhaled a thin wisp of smoke, and smiled at Wang Yan:

"Hey bro, remember to come again sometime~ Even though I don't have the blood of the Yu Lin clan, I know just as much as your little girlfriend~♡"

Yingluo's ears turned slightly red. She grabbed Wang Yan's hand, quickened her pace, and mumbled something under her breath.

"Bad woman!"

........

Night had fallen, and Wang Yan led Yingluo to the commercial street of Anju City. Having received a large sum of money, Wang Yan planned to purchase some daily necessities and tools—all extremely essential items.

Wang Yan bought several sets of all the tools he could need, including trowels for construction, chisels for carpentry, rulers, and saws, and put them in the warehouse. However, these tools were generally handmade and not mass-produced, so they were all a bit pricey.

Then there are various seasonings. Although Wang Yan can currently purchase seasoning combo packs through the system, the contents are still somewhat lacking. For example, certain spices, such as Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves, star anise, etc., are things that Wang Yan does not currently have, and he needs to bring some of these back with him.

The two then went to a place that sells seeds. Wang Yan bought all kinds of seeds, regardless of what they were. Most of them were common fruits and vegetables, nothing special. However, there were two things that really interested Wang Yan.

He finally found the two things he had been longing for: chili peppers and soybeans.

Chili peppers, on their own, can power an entire cuisine; their strength goes without saying. And soybeans... well, there are just so many more possibilities for their use.

There's a saying that goes like this: in ancient times, the East and the West developed completely different technological paths in terms of diet; one focused on milk, and the other on soybeans.

The West has perfected the use of dairy products, but the ancient Chinese craftsmanship of consuming soybeans is unparalleled. A small soybean is incredibly versatile, whether for oil extraction, grinding, or fermentation.

Wang Yan's warehouse couldn't hold too many things. After buying a series of necessary items, he went to a clothing store one last time. Since he was already there, he had to buy a decent set of clothes for the whole family. However, these clothes were generally quite expensive. After buying a set for everyone in the family, Wang Yan had already spent more than two thousand taels of silver on clothes alone.

However, it must be said that the styles Wang Yan buys are mostly everyday styles. Due to the influence of upper-class aesthetics, Wang Yan can even buy clothes such as sailor suits and cheongsams here, although these clothes are generally very expensive.

However, Wang Yan has plenty of money now, so he doesn't need to care about these things at all. Besides, buying clothes for his wives, how can that be considered a loss? In the end, isn't he the one who enjoys it?

The big fox skipped out of the fitting room, her light blue sailor uniform accentuating her graceful figure. The first impression of her was like a gentle breeze, full of youthful energy.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Yingluo stood on tiptoe, her big green eyes sparkling, and twirled around in front of Wang Yan, as happy as a child.

"So cute!"

Wang Yan gave the highest praise, but Yingluo didn't seem too satisfied with the answer.

"Is it just because it's cute?"

"Hmm...super cute?"

The big fox couldn't help but chuckle. It took two steps forward, grabbed Wang Yan's waist, rubbed its pink cheek against Wang Yan's chest, and swayed its large, pinkish-gray tail from side to side.

"She's the cutest person in the whole world!"

.......

Being older, he couldn't resist the charm of a beautiful young girl. After paying with the sales clerk, Wang Yan packed all the clothes up, leaving Yingluo to wear the sailor uniform for the time being.

Having bought almost everything, it was already night. Wang Yan needed to take Yingluo home early the next morning, so he ate something casually in the commercial street before finding a hotel in the outer city to rest for the night.

This was the first time Yingluo had ever been to such a far place in her life. She leaned against the window, watching the crowd outside gradually thin out. The guards of Anju City had arrived at the shore one after another and began to evacuate the crowd to prevent them from being harmed by the strange beasts.

Everything before her eyes was a sight she had never seen before. Her large, bright green eyes gazed at the desolate night sky, the flickering streetlights, and the slumbering cloud whales. All of this was an experience she had never had before.

"Wang Yan".

Yingluo's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.

"The outside world is so wonderful!"

Wang Yan stepped forward and gently put his arm around her waist. Her big tail seemed to have a mind of its own, constantly rubbing against his arm.

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. Once we get there, we'll go check out the middle floors, the upper floors, and even the top floor together!"

"Um!"

(I played △ with my friends for half the afternoon, and seeing that I only had 15,000 left, I got a little flustered, which is why I'm updating so late. There's one more chapter to go, I'll write it right away.)

(Another question for everyone: regarding the readers' fondness for beast girls, I see everyone is very enthusiastic, but there are so many types. If we were to collect them all, we'd probably end up with 108 heroes. So, I'd like to ask everyone's opinion on the idea of ​​"only consuming but not collecting"?)
