In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

After discussing Wang Yan's personal matters, the three of them began to talk about toothpaste.

"After perfecting the toothpaste formula and setting up a simple production line, there's still the issue of raw materials to solve," Zakaria said.

Wang Yan looked at him: "Senior Zakaria, do you have any recommendations?"

Zakaria shook his head: "No, the medicinal herbs at Health House are supplied by specialized suppliers, mostly farmers from near Sumeru City. They grow medicinal herbs specifically for Health House, but this does not include the herbs I use in the formula."

"What about using the Council of Religious Affairs' channels?" Kavi asked.

Zakaria frowned slightly: "It's feasible, but there will probably be a waiting list, and it's easily influenced by different schools of thought. I suggest finding a private supplier instead."

After a pause, Zakaria looked at Wang Yan: "I heard you have a good relationship with Tinari... perhaps you could ask him for help. Daocheng Forest is a natural medicine storehouse."

Looking for Tina Li? Wang Yan thought about it and agreed that it was indeed a good option, but he had another person in mind.

Compared to Tina, the caravan that brought him to Sumeru City seemed more suitable as a supplier of medicinal herbs.

After all, Tinaari was a scholar, not a businessman.

"Hmm, I know a businessman from Daocheng Forest. Perhaps I could go and ask him."

"Okay, then Kavi and I will design the production line first, and you can handle the raw materials."

With the division of labor completed, the three of them each performed their duties.

Sumeru City - Grand Bazaar

Since his last visit with Dixia, Wang Yan has been coming here frequently.

There's no way around it, compared to the bustling Baoshang Street, this place is really lively, fun, and the food is good too. The people around are also nice to talk to. Wang Yanchao likes this place.

"I remember, after I parted ways with Liam last time, he said that the fruit sellers in the Grand Bazaar were all his own people."

Wang Yan strolled through the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the street vendors, and soon spotted a fruit stall at the entrance of the Grand Bazaar.

I pushed through the crowd and walked to the fruit stand.

The boss was a middle-aged man, tall and strong, who looked like someone who wouldn't be easily bullied.

Seeing Wang Yan approach, the owner smiled and said, "What would you like, sir? These are all fruits just delivered from the rainforest, they're very fresh."

Wang Yan shook his head: "I'm looking for someone. Is Liam around here?"

"Boss Liam?" The fruit stand owner's eyes flashed with scrutiny as he stared at Wang Yan. "What do you want with him?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I am Wang Yan, a friend of Liam and Tinari. I've come to see them today."

The Council of the High Priests may not be useful in front of these rainforest men, but mentioning that they are friends of Tinari is definitely effective.

Sure enough, the fruit stall owner's eyes softened immediately, and his smile became more sincere: "So you're a friend of Tina and the boss. You've come at the right time. Boss Liam just delivered the goods yesterday. At this time... well, why don't you go check out the Zubair Theater? The boss should be watching a performance there."

The Grand Bazaar is huge. In the game, the Zubair Theater is visible at a glance, but in reality, it only occupies a corner of the Grand Bazaar.

Wang Yan nodded and thanked him: "Okay, thank you very much."

"Haha, we're all on the same side, don't be shy." The boss waved his hand.

After saying goodbye to the fruit stand, Wang Yan walked towards the Zubair Theater.

To be honest, he had been to the Grand Bazaar quite a few times and had seen several performances at the Zubair Theater, but he had never seen Nilu.

I heard that Nilu is currently touring various parts of Sumeru, and I wonder when she will be able to return to the Grand Bazaar.

After walking for less than ten minutes, Wang Yan arrived at the Zubair Theater area.

It's not that it's a ten-minute walk, it's just that there are too many people.

Looking around, I quickly spotted a familiar figure.

Even in a crowd, Liam's tall and muscular physique was enough to draw attention.

"Hey, Liam!" Wang Yan squeezed through and called out.

Hearing the voice, Liam turned around and saw Wang Yan. He immediately smiled happily and patted Wang Yan's shoulder hard: "Wang Yan! Hey kid, long time no see! Did you get into the Order Academy? Are you here to see the performance too?"

He still remembered that Wang Yan came to Sumeru City to enter the Order Academy.

He slapped Wang Yan relentlessly, making her sway and nearly knock her over, but she still laughed, "You're lucky. I just finished the formalities and came here specifically to see you."

"Looking for me?" Liam grinned, then put his arm around Wang Yan's shoulder. "Come on, let's not crowd here. Let's find a place to sit down and talk. You came all this way to see me, there must be something you need, right?"

He put his arm around Wang Yan's shoulder, pushed through the crowd, and came to the side of the stage, where there was some shade and not many people.

"Speak, what do you need me for? If I can help, I won't refuse," Liam said.

Although he was just an ordinary caravan leader in Sumeru, Liam considered himself a real man. He was grateful for the help Wang Yan had given to the caravan before.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "It's nothing big. It's just that a research result needs to be commercialized, and we need some medicinal herbs, such as mint, honeysuckle, scutellaria, cloves, and bletilla... My partner said that Daocheng Forest has all of these, so I came to ask you."

Although the Sumeru Rainforest is a rainforest, its environment is not exactly the same as the rainforest before Wang Yan's transmigration.

The Sumeru Rainforest is essentially a miracle created by the Great Tree King and the first generation of scholars.

With the protection of the forest by the retinue of the grass god, such as Lanalo, the rainforest has an excellent growing environment, allowing various medicinal herbs with different habits to find suitable growing conditions within it.

It is less a rainforest and more a massive bio-theory experimental base that has been under construction since the time of the Three Kings.

"Medicinal herbs..." Liam nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "How much do you need? If it's a cartload or two, I'll bring it to you next time."

A scholar favored by Tinali now has his own research project being commercialized. Giving away a truckload or two of medicinal herbs is considered an investment in goodwill.

Liam has that much money.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "If you can supply the goods, that will be a long-term project. You don't need to deliver them. I will purchase them at market prices."

Long-term business!

Liam's eyes lit up slightly, and his smile widened: "If it's a long-term business, then I should definitely send you two truckloads as samples. If you like them, then we can cooperate more properly."

When doing business for the long term, one should not be concerned with short-term gains.

Sending two truckloads of medicinal herbs in exchange for a long-term trading license—what's that?

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan did not refuse again and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. Just deliver the medicinal herbs to Health Home."

"Healthy Home? No problem, the medicine will be delivered in a week at most," Liam said, patting his broad chest.

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow: "Is there enough time?"

Last time, it took them ten days to travel from Huacheng to Xumi City.

"Haha, it would be too late to buy them from the rainforest and send them over, but there are quite a few people in Sumeru City who have rainforest herbs. I just need to get the goods from them."

"You can use it. I'll build a dedicated medicinal herb production line from the rainforest. Of course, I guarantee the quality will be the same."

In fact, Liam had always been in the fruit and ingredient business and had always wanted to expand his business.

Wang Yan just happened to run into this situation.

"As long as the quality is up to standard, there's no problem," Wang Yan nodded.

"Haha, don't worry, since you've come to me, I definitely won't let you down." Liam laughed heartily, but his eyes were serious.

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't do unethical business in the first place, just because he wants to befriend Wang Yan, a promising scholar, he will keep a close eye on this matter to prevent any problems with the medicinal materials.

"Alright, alright, business's done. Come on, it's on me today. I'll show you around the Grand Bazaar."

With that, Liam pulled Wang Yan into his arms and squeezed back into the crowd.
