Chapter 2092

"There are hot springs here." Yan Aohan took a deep breath and said to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi noticed it too. "I didn't expect a place like this to have hot springs. Do you think Uncle She and the others have found this spot?"

"Probably not. It’s quite deep here. Given Uncle He’s nature, he’d only come here if he had no other choice."

"Let’s go. We’ll follow the heat and take a look." Zhu Yanyi and the others followed the warmth inward. They even noticed that the water left behind was already warm spring water.

"The water temperature is quite high," Yi Yunfei said after washing his hands.

Zhu Yanyi dipped her hand in and nodded. "Indeed, it’s much hotter than usual water."

"Hotter than normal hot springs?" Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow. He tested the temperature and said, "If that’s the case, there should be a volcanic crater nearby."

Zhu Yanyi was stunned. She looked at Yan Aohan. "Aohan, are you kidding me? Is there a volcano here? Is it active or dormant?"

"Why would I joke with you? The high temperature of the spring water indicates a volcano. However, the smell of sulfur in the air isn’t very strong, so it’s likely a dormant volcano. If there is indeed a dormant volcano, this would be an excellent natural place for planting. Ani, you could lease this place and build a four-season herb garden."

Yan Aohan seemed to have already planned the next steps.

Zhu Yanyi twitched the corner of her mouth. "Aohan, we are here to investigate something. Besides, if someone else has discovered this place, the mountain might have already been bought. We might not get it."

"Not necessarily. If someone had bought this mountain, they would definitely not allow anyone to pick the wild honey oranges here to keep the secret hidden." Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head and said, "Since people are still picking wild honey oranges here, it means no one has claimed this place." Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Anyway, I will have someone inquire about it. If this place is really good, do you want it, Ani?"

"Yes." Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "How could I not want such a good place? Why do I make money? Not just to look at numbers, but to develop everything I can. Besides, it would be great if this good place could become my four-season herb garden. It’s much better than becoming someone else’s vacation villa."

Zhu Yanyi wasn’t targeting anyone specific. She genuinely didn’t want the environment here to be destroyed.

In her previous life, she had seen many people buy places with hot springs to build vacation villas, slowly destroying the original ecology. This was something Zhu Yanyi did not want to see.

So, if the environment here was suitable and no one had bought it, Zhu Yanyi felt she would indeed buy this place.

Yan Aohan nodded. Actually, saying "buy" was less accurate than saying "lease the usage rights." Anyway, Zhu Yanyi had the money, and Yan Aohan had the ability. As long as it was unclaimed, they could handle it well.

Zhu Yanyi led Yan Aohan and Yi Yunfei along the hot spring path. Soon, they saw a large hot spring. It was flowing water, which Zhu Yanyi liked very much.

"This place is really nice." Zhu Yanyi smiled. "If we ever retire, this could be a good place to hide away."

Yan Aohan agreed with Zhu Yanyi’s words. "I think so too." Yan Aohan had considered many things when choosing this place. This was Zhu Yanyi’s hometown. If other immortals wanted to descend to the mortal realm, they couldn’t. But because this was Zhu Yanyi’s hometown, it would be very easy for her to return if she wanted to.

Zhu Yanyi washed her hands here, then walked past the hot spring. A canyon appeared. When Zhu Yanyi saw what was inside the canyon, she pointed ahead and said to Yan Aohan and Yi Yunfei, "Look."

Yan Aohan and Yi Yunfei clearly saw that the entire canyon was filled with poppy flowers.

Poppy flowers are beautiful and pretty. They don’t have a overly fragrant scent, but their appearance is very enchanting.

The whole poppy plant is poisonous. Of course, if used correctly, this poison can be used in some medicines to enhance efficacy. But if used incorrectly, it can bring devastating disaster.

"There are too many poppies here," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "If someone just liked these flowers, planting one or two would be fine. But now, we see that too many have been planted here."

"Moreover, the temperature here is similar all year round, which is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Because it’s suitable for growing herbs, it has led to this situation where the canyon is full of poppies."

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "What do you think? Should I destroy this place now, or have someone monitor it and catch the mastermind behind it?" Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan smiled. "If you want to destroy it, just do it. At most, we can set up some illusion arrays here."

Illusion arrays can create various scenes. Creating a simple poppy scene was naturally very easy.

Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, Zhu Yanyi smiled. "That sounds good. I’ve decided. Let’s burn this place first." Having made her decision, Zhu Yanyi didn’t hesitate. She harvested one-third of the poppies here and let Binglan destroy the rest.

After everything was done, Zhu Yanyi set up an illusion array here. To anyone looking, it seemed the poppies were still there, but in reality, everything was fake.

Having achieved what she wanted, Zhu Yanyi and the others left this place. Then, Yan Aohan had someone investigate the ownership of this mountain. If no one had leased it, he would help Zhu Yanyi arrange it, and this place would be leased by Zhu Yanyi to grow various medicinal herbs.

Zhu Yanyi, Yan Aohan, and Yi Yunfei returned to Uncle She’s house.

Walking into Uncle He’s house, they smelled a particularly fragrant aroma. "It smells like hot and sour soup. Auntie, did you make hot and sour soup for dinner?"

"Your nose is really sharp. Yes, I did make hot and sour soup. Tianyun helped make it today. For dinner, we’ll have hot and sour soup and yellow steamed buns," the old lady said with a smile.

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I find it really lucky that you live here, Auntie. I know that authentic yellow steamed buns are made with millet flour. Millet production is not large nowadays, and most people don’t grow it."

"We still grow it. We have a lot of farmland, so we grow millet, sorghum, corn, wheat, glutinous rice, mung beans, red beans, and other things every year. Anyway, we usually grow many kinds of crops."
