Soon, led by the Human Emperor, everyone arrived at the next area.

The plants here are different; each one is taller than a person.

Each plant grew straight and tall, with broad, large green leaves. The plants were extremely dense, one next to the other.

It wasn't a very large area, but it was completely planted.

These plants each had several leaves covering something about the thickness of an arm, but it was unclear what was inside.

Ye Xuan was quite pleased to arrive in this area because he liked the food here.

I casually broke off a fruit, then peeled away the outer green leaves one by one, revealing a yellow fruit inside that was about the size of a human arm.

This yellow fruit is made up of densely packed, pod-sized granules.

Ye Xuan explained to the civil and military officials while demonstrating the exhibits to them.

"This thing is also a magical treasure; its name is corn."

"It is an extremely powerful and resilient species, capable of taking root and growing even in the most barren lands, and is particularly suited to remote areas."

"This stuff is quite amazing; it can be boiled, mashed up to make corn porridge, or further processed into a food called pancakes."

"It's quite magical when it's made into a pancake. Although the texture is slightly firm, it can accommodate almost anything. Any food wrapped in it becomes a rather delicious treat."

"Furthermore, these pancakes are extremely easy to store; if successfully manufactured, they can even be kept for up to six months, making them an essential item for military campaigns."

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials were once again greatly surprised. Could pancakes made from this kind of corn really be stored for half a year?

This is truly unbelievable.

It was indeed a divine object that I had never heard of or seen before.

Ye Xuan casually tossed the corn in his hand to Wushuang.

Then he led everyone to the next area.

Soon they arrived at another area, where the plants were even more unusual.

The plants here are about half a person's height, but extremely thin; their branches seem to be no thicker than a human hair.

These plants were planted densely together, and because there were enough of them, none of the more fragile ones fell over.

Ye Xuan casually plucked a tassel, then held it up and explained it to the civil and military officials.

"This thing is actually also found in our own Yin Shang region, but the production here is very low. This thing, however, is an advanced version with extremely high production."

"This plant is called buckwheat. It cannot be eaten raw after it matures; it must be peeled and hulled before consumption."

"It can be used to cook porridge, and it can also be further processed to eventually create a mysterious treasure called 'noodles'."

"This so-called 'noodle' is a truly magical treasure. It can be made into legendary steamed buns, flatbreads, baked buns, noodles, dumplings, and a whole host of other foods. It's practically omnipotent."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, revealing a deep longing for that legendary noodle.

His Majesty is absolutely right; there is indeed wheat here.

However, the production volume was very low, and they didn't know how to make that magical treasure called "noodles".

Now His Human Emperor has found a better alternative.

This made them wonder what exactly was going on in His Human Emperor's head.

Soon the group continued walking forward, only to find another patch of low-lying vegetation ahead.

The plants here are only about knee-high, extremely short. If they were in the wild, you wouldn't notice anything unusual about them.

It's actually appeared here now; could it be some kind of magical plant?

Ye Xuan walked over and casually pulled it out.

Soon, a relatively large plant was pulled out, and it looked extremely similar to the sweet potato in front of them.

There were also a dozen or so fruits, tightly attached to the roots.

However, these fruits are neither too big nor too small, roughly the size of a human fist, and are generally yellowish-brown, making them look somewhat ugly.

Ye Xuan looked at the thing in front of him, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He liked to eat this, especially before he transmigrated, when he had always lived a rather poor life.

This was a decent food for him; he could buy two or three for a dollar.

Wash it, cut it into thin strips, stir-fry it over high heat, and you'll have a delicious dish.

This is also a food that ordinary people in Huaxia like to eat, and now I have actually found it in the Primordial World. It is indeed a great fortune.

"This thing is called a potato, also known as a ground potato. Although it's a bit ugly, it's very nutritious."

"It can be boiled, steamed, eaten as a staple food, or made into a dish; it can be used in almost any way."

Ye Xuan led a group of mud monkeys who had never seen the world before, traversing mountains and valleys while introducing the crops in front of them in detail.

They carefully instructed us on exactly how to eat and where to eat.

Even though some things weren't edible, their functions were explained in detail, naturally eliciting gasps of amazement from them.

This explanation lasted until it was already evening.

These civil and military officials, following the Human Emperor, had unknowingly climbed several mountains, but they showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, they were in high spirits.

His Human Emperor taught them a great deal of knowledge and introduced them to some amazing species, which truly broadened their horizons.

In the past, they simply wouldn't have believed that these weeds could be eaten, let alone ordinary things.

Some things may look like weeds, but their true essence lies deep underground, which truly opened their eyes.

Seeing that it was already evening, Ye Xuan suddenly became interested.

Simply explaining it isn't enough to fully enjoy the experience.

He immediately ordered people to bring over a dozen large pots.

He wanted to lead his entire court of officials on a picnic in this wilderness.

Let these old guys of this era broaden their horizons.

Under Ye Xuan's personal guidance, many things were washed clean and then put into the pot.

One of the dishes was a large pot of boiled corn.

A big pot of potatoes

A big pot of peanuts--------

A big pot of sweet potatoes-------

Ye Xuan even personally directed the civil and military officials to collect some buckwheat, then peel and husk it, and used magic to dry it to make the legendary flour.

He then led everyone to knead the dough themselves, until they had steamed a large pot of steamed buns.

Since it was their first time making steamed buns, the officials produced all sorts of shapes, but they managed to do it successfully.

Looking at the group of elderly people who were dumbfounded yet extremely excited, Ye Xuan revealed a faint smile.

It seems this trip has truly broadened these guys' horizons and exposed them to new experiences.

He then immediately asked a question.
