Chapter 110: Pink Coral
Chapter 110: Pink Coral
Zhou Yu drove the car to the Guomin Food Stall. He opened the car door and let Huzi jump out. Then he told Wang Fugui to take care of Huzi. After that, he drove the car home with the soup pot.
The Wind Eagle Meat was his biggest secret. It was okay to let his parents taste it occasionally, but if he gave it to others to eat, he couldn’t guarantee the secret wouldn’t leak.
Even his uncle Li Guomin or Wang Fugui, he wouldn’t bring out the Wind Eagle Meat at this stage. Things like the Immortal Flavor Fruit could only improve the taste, but the Wind Eagle Meat could truly change a person’s physical condition.
Before going home, Zhou Yu had already called his parents. He told them not to cook first. He had stewed a pot of bone soup and would bring it over soon.
Zhou Yu stopped the car at the entrance of the yard. He opened the trunk and carefully took out the tightly sealed pot.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou came out of the house. “Xiao Yu, is that bone soup made from the bones of that meat last time?” Mother Zhou asked curiously. The meat Zhou Yu brought last time was incredibly delicious.
“Mom, you guessed right. They are from those bones. Dad, close the yard gate. We can’t tell anyone about these bones either,” Zhou Yu said with a smile and nodded. He had Father Zhou close the gate, then carried the soup pot into the house.
After his father came in, Zhou Yu asked his mother to get bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen. He also tightly closed the living room door. Only then did he open the soup pot. Immediately, a rich aroma wafted out from the pot. It was even more fragrant than the Wind Eagle Meat.
“This bone soup is really fragrant,” his parents said with surprised expressions after smelling the aroma.
“Mom, of course. The bones are even more nutritious than the meat. Let’s start eating,” Zhou Yu said. He picked up a ladle and began serving soup for his parents.
Even though it was diluted with hot water, the bone soup in the pot was still milky white and looked very thick.
He put several pieces of bone in each of his parents’ bowls and handed them over. Then he served a bowl for himself.
Back at the Old Family House, he had only drunk a small bowl. He didn’t get to enjoy it fully.
This Wind Eagle bone soup, added with the Immortal Flavor Fruit, tasted even more delicious. It also had some unique flavors of the Spirit Beast Wind Roc. Drinking it felt like one could swallow their own tongue.
While drinking the soup, Zhou Yu closely watched his parents’ condition to prevent any problems.
Seeing the comfortable expressions on their faces after drinking the soup, he felt relieved. The Wind Eagle Meat and the Honey from the Immortal World he brought before had probably slowly improved his parents’ physical condition.
After simmering in the pot for nearly five hours, the Wind Eagle bones became chewable. The marrow hidden inside some of the bigger bones was especially delicious.
After sucking some bones, Zhou Yu felt the marrow inside had an even greater effect than the Wind Eagle Meat. Sadly, compared to the meat, there were very few bones.
The pot of bone soup was finished in less than half an hour. Near the end, when there was still a small half pot left, Zhou Yu didn’t let his parents drink anymore. Their faces had already turned rosy. Probably because they drank too fast, the heat flow inside their bodies hadn’t dissipated.
After finishing the pot of soup, he collected all the bones from the dining table into the pot. This was to prevent them from being left here and discovered by others.
Then, Zhou Yu stayed at home for another hour or so. He had his parents run around in the yard to release the heat flow inside their bodies. After making sure there were no problems, he drove away. He passed by the Guomin Food Stall and picked up Huzi, then returned to the Old Family House.
After returning, he went to the kitchen again. He turned on the fire and began warming up the remaining half pot of bone soup. For this stew, he had only used part of the bones. Based on the amount in this pot of bone soup, the half Wind Roc could still be stewed two or three more times.
After drinking this half pot of rich bone soup, Zhou Yu felt some heat flow filling his body. However, it was still within bearable limits.
Taking the Bone Blood Pills continuously these days had already greatly enhanced his physical condition. If it were before, drinking this half pot of bone soup would probably have made his nose bleed.
Next, he ground the dried Immortal Flavor Fruit powder into a finer powder. He harvested another ten cans of Immortal Flavor Fruit powder.
When night fell, Zhou Yu lay in bed and looked at his Mobile Phone for a while. He glanced at the Radio and fell asleep with some anticipation. When he woke up around midnight, the Radio still showed no reaction.
Today, it had already been two days since the last activation. Zhou Yu felt he needed to prepare tomorrow.
Not long after he first got the Radio, once it took a whole week to activate. Back then, the reason he waited was because he didn’t have a clear understanding of the Radio.
Now, he had some understanding of the Radio. Plus, this time the energy was overdrawn, which was different from before. So, he felt he must find a way to help the Radio recover.
After thinking for a bit, Zhou Yu got up and turned on the computer. He logged onto a shopping website and spent several thousand yuan buying some things.
If the Radio could activate on its own, then wasting these things would just be a waste. But if it didn’t activate, then he would need to use these things to help the Radio. He didn’t know if it would work, but he couldn’t just sit and wait.
The next day, as usual, Zhou Yu brought half a Bone Blood Pill and a piece of Wind Eagle Meat. Additionally, he brought a small bottle of the leftover Wind Eagle bone soup from yesterday. After all, Xiao Pang gave him two big Pearls, so he needed to find a way to thank it.
When he arrived at the Sea, he didn’t take the Bone Blood Pill first. Instead, he waited until Xiao Pang came. He fed Xiao Pang the Wind Eagle Meat and that small bottle of bone soup.
If he took the Bone Blood Pill first and then swam crazily, it would be questionable whether that small bottle of bone soup could be kept safe.
After Xiao Pang ate the Wind Eagle Meat, Zhou Yu poured the small bottle of bone soup into its mouth. After tasting the bone soup, Xiao Pang happily made two calls. Then it jumped a few times on the sea surface and disappeared again.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh. This Xiao Pang was probably off looking for Pearls again. He shook his head. He first took the half Bone Blood Pill and began his frantic swimming routine.
Because he had been taking it continuously, his physical condition was getting better and better. Now, the time needed to release the energy after taking half a Bone Blood Pill was slowly decreasing.
He believed soon, before he finished all these Bone Blood Pills, he would reach a level where he could withstand half a pill. At that point, he could start taking a whole Bone Blood Pill.
After venting the heat flow inside his body, Zhou Yu looked around. Xiao Pang was swimming on the sea surface not far away.
At this point, seeing his movements had stopped, Xiao Pang happily swam over. As it swam over, Zhou Yu noticed Xiao Pang seemed to have something pink in its mouth. It didn’t look like a Pearl Oyster.
When Xiao Pang reached his side, Zhou Yu finally saw the pink thing clearly. It was like a tree, with many branches.
He slowly took the thing out of Xiao Pang’s mouth. He discovered it indeed resembled a tree, but this tree wasn’t soft; it was hard, like a rock.
What was this thing? He hadn’t seen it in the nearby waters. Based on how Xiao Pang found things, it should only be in the sea.
Zhou Yu thought carefully and suddenly realized what it was. His face showed a strange expression. If his guess was correct, this pink, tree-like thing should be coral.
As far as he knew, within Huaxia’s waters, coral only grew near the Taiwan Strait. The Taoyuan Village where he lived was also some distance from the Taiwan Strait. However, considering a dolphin’s speed, it could probably swim there in less than an hour.
Could it be that while Xiao Pang was searching for Pearls on the seafloor, it accidentally swam to the Taiwan Strait, found this, brought it over, first hid it on the nearby seafloor, and only just now brought it out?
Judging by the condition of this Pink Coral, it looked completely natural, without any processing. It was probably really something Xiao Pang got from the Taiwan Strait area.
As for coral, he only knew a bit. If the quality was high enough to reach gem-grade, the value could be very high. Among all corals, Red Coral was the priciest, incredibly high to an unimaginable degree.
Of course, along with the price, Red Coral was also very rare. It grew very slowly and was non-renewable. As for this Pink Coral, he didn’t know much about it.
This coral really looked like a tree, but the branches were unevenly distributed, which damaged some of its beauty. However, the color was very beautiful. That faint pink gave a very tempting feeling.
Zhou Yu lifted it with his hand. It weighed a little over a pound. He still didn’t know how much it could be worth.
“Xiao Pang, thank you. I really like this thing,” Zhou Yu said, shaking the Pink Coral in his hand and stroking Xiao Pang’s long beak.
Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Xiao Pang seemed very happy. It cheerfully slapped its tail.
