Welcome to the Happy Village in the Spiritual Realm of the Great Universe!

"Fire dragon pepper, red cloud pepper, deer seed pepper... There are seven kinds of spiritual peppers in total. Different proportions can produce different degrees of spiciness. They are most effective for cultivators with a high affinity for fire." Zhao Hongshan said seriously.

"The most important thing is that it will not counteract water-attributed cultivators. Instead, it can still provide a gentle spiritual energy supplement." Yun Bai said happily.

"You can consider replacing the Gastrodia seeds with red fruits, which can retain enough numbness and make the dish milder, and can achieve the effect of nourishing the body and meridians." Mu Yun added. He is a spiritual medicine master and knows the characteristics of most spiritual plants.

"That makes sense! Let's try it!" Yun Bai clapped his hands excitedly and hurriedly started experimenting again with Zhao Hongshan. After trying it, he found that it was effective and tasted great!

"Haha! Now that the soup base and sauces are ready, the next step is to study the specific ingredients!" This is the most favorite part for several people. They immediately started talking and listed the names of their favorite spiritual vegetables, spiritual fruits, spiritual mushrooms, etc.

Then, they immediately ran to the mountains, and Yun Bai's magical skills were activated. They walked around casually and harvested a lot of wild game contributed by the spiritual plants. With so much harvest, they immediately went back to try them one by one, and finally selected 132 kinds of dishes based on the reasonable combination of spiritual power and efficacy. These dishes will not have the problem of conflict whether they are cooked separately or put together, and the spiritual power in them can also be supplemented by each other. It can be said that they are both delicious and beneficial to the improvement of spiritual power.

"It's done!" After a whole day of hard work, the team finally succeeded in developing the spicy hot pot. When the first pot of spicy hot pot gave off a fragrant aroma, the old man Long, who had a very sensitive nose, suddenly appeared beside them, looking greedy. After all the spiritual vegetables were cooked, he couldn't wait to fill a large bowl and sat on the stone bench next to him to show off. A mouthful of it was fresh, spicy, and delicious, and a trace of gentle spiritual power seeped into the body. It was really a rare and high-quality spiritual food snack!

"Give me another big bowl!" Old Man Long gave the highest praise to Lingzhi Malatang with his actions.

Upon seeing this, everyone filled a bowl and after taking a bite, they also thought it was super delicious!

"Xiaobai, you are simply a genius! How did you come up with such a good idea?" Zhao Hongshan praised while eating.

"I love adding more spicy flavor, it's so refreshing! I can eat a whole pot!" Xiaohua exclaimed.

"This is the most distinctive and effective spiritual snack I have eaten in recent years. With your skills, your shop will definitely be a hit!" Mu Yun said with a smile.

They were enjoying the delicious spicy hot pot, and Yuanye and Mu Yinghun also came over. Yuanye immediately joined the tasting army and said it was delicious. Yunbai was a little worried - after all, Mu Yinghun was a plant-based spiritual practitioner, and he didn't know if he would mind. Fortunately, Mu Yinghun understood Yunbai's concerns and explained to her that there was a food chain among spiritual plants, and the Wanhun Wood was at the top of the food chain (in fact, they not only eat spiritual plants to replenish energy, but also eat spiritual beasts, which is more effective. However, he didn't say this to Yunbai), and when spiritual practitioners transformed into humans, their life level changed. Although they were born from spiritual plants, they had more human habits and characteristics. What's more, all the dishes Yunbai got were obtained without harming the spiritual plants, so he was also happy to try this delicacy. Yunbai didn't have to worry about him feeling uncomfortable or dislikeful.

After hearing this, Yun Bai finally felt relieved and immediately invited Mu Yinghun to taste the food together, and received great praise from Mu Yinghun.

Yuanye came this time to tell everyone a good news. Cangyu Grocery Store has been prepared. Lu Bao was the first to support it and said that he must come to be the shopkeeper himself. Yuanye couldn't persuade him and agreed, but it couldn't affect the daily teaching tasks. In addition, Senior Brother Liu Xiang and Fifth Junior Brother Zhang Pingshan are very interested in this place and hope to reserve a shop on Xingfu Commercial Street. Yuanye has agreed on behalf of Yunbai. With the addition of the two uncles and uncles, the publicity effect of the commercial street has been raised to a higher level. It is said that there are more than ten businesses that have inquired about it, and many people in the surrounding villages and towns have expressed great interest when they heard that several stores will open here and the goods sold are of high quality and low prices.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this. Xiaohua also said that her grandfather had also helped promote the business, and that all the people from the Zhenbang Escort Agency would come to support the business on the day it opened. Mu Yinghun also said that his grandfather and several elders in the family would come at that time. Then Mu Yun also casually said that he had also advertised for Xingfu Commercial Street, and it was estimated that some classmates would come to join in the fun. Yun Bai was naturally happy after hearing this, and he agreed with everyone that Xingfu Commercial Street would officially open for trial operation in three days. At that time, Xingfu Lingzhi Malatang, Cangyu Grocery Store, Duobaoxuan Xingfu Village Branch, Pingshan Comprador Xingfu Village Branch, Muyun Dan Pavilion and Wanmu Exchange would open their doors to welcome customers at the same time!

As for the manpower problem, Yuanye and Mu Yun had already considered it in advance. Yuanye selected ten students from Cangyu who were poor but of reliable character to help out in Xingfu Commercial Street. They could earn a fixed salary of 50 lower-grade spirit coins every day, and they could also get corresponding commissions, which was considered as work-study program.

Mu Yunze also found 10 young and reliable servants from his home to work as shop assistants to help with business and reception of guests.

Wanbaoxuan, Pingshan Comprador House and Wanmu Exchange all have their own clerks, so there is no need to worry too much.

Each store would give Yun Bai 10% of its profits as rent, so Yun Bai was living the life of a "landlady" in advance, and naturally felt very happy. However, Yuan Ye announced to the public that Xingfu Commercial Street was Cang Yu's industry, which could save Yun Bai a lot of trouble.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening! The day before the opening, Yun Bai, Mu Yinghun and the other five young people were very excited. They kept looking around together, fearing that there was something they had not thought of carefully enough. It was not until very late that they returned to their respective rooms to practice. The next morning, Xingfu Commercial Street "opened" at the same time as the sun!

Because it was still early, Yun Bai and all the shop assistants had plenty of time to prepare. In order to support Yuan Ye, the eldest brother Hua Zhenbang and his fellow junior brothers and sisters came to congratulate and help, and brought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, saying that they would add a festive atmosphere to the commercial street. All the escorts of Zhenbang Escort Agency who were not on a mission were called to help maintain order. But after half a day of preparation, the sun was already high in the sky, but there were still no customers. Yun Bai was worried that there would be no customers, but Yuan Ye suddenly slapped his forehead - hey, he made a mistake in a hurry, he actually forgot to open the protective formation on the front street. Hua Zhenbang and his friends came here through the Cangyu teleportation formation, so it was not affected, but it would be difficult for outsiders to come in - they were probably going around in circles in the maze!

As expected, when Yuanye removed the formation, he found that there were hundreds of people trapped inside! Seeing the maze dissipate, everyone returned to normal from their panic. A few people were afraid and left directly, while more people chose to stay and follow the guide into the commercial street. Because they all came to join in the fun after seeing the flyers, everyone's goal was very clear. As soon as they entered the commercial street, they went straight to their goals.
