Chapter 94: Half a Bone Blood Pill
It took Zhou Yu two hours to extract all the honey from the two beehives. After further filtering, he obtained a total of forty-one catties of honey.
Just as he had guessed, the honey collected by the Spirit Bees from the flowers of the Earth World could not compare in fragrance to the honey from the Immortal World.
However, its color was still a light amber. In the bucket, it looked like flowing gemstones. Its color and fragrance were far superior to any honey collected by ordinary bees on Earth.
Zhou Yu poured a small bowl from the bucket. He scooped a spoonful with a ladle, put it in his mouth, and tasted it. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
Although this honey collected by the Spirit Bees from Earth could not match the taste of Immortal World honey, it possessed a flavor unique to Earth flowers. Similarly, the comfortable feeling it brought surpassed any Earth honey he had tasted before.
It had a floral aroma. It was soft, sticky, and crystallized finely. After drinking it, it was sweet and refreshing, giving a comfortable sensation.
As expected of Spirit Bees from the Immortal World. Though they collected pollen from the plants of the Earth World, the honey produced within their bodies tasted much better.
After that, Zhou Yu poured the extracted honey into the remaining four glass bottles using a special tool. Forty-one catties of honey could fill about twenty-two bottles of 900 grams each.
Looking at the remaining honey, he took out his mobile phone, asked Old Tan, and got the phone number of the glass bottle manufacturer. He then called and asked the manufacturer to send him five hundred glass bottles first thing tomorrow.
The manufacturer also asked Zhou Yu if he needed printed labels. They could help with that at a discounted price. Zhou Yu thought for a moment, spent ten minutes designing a trademark, and sent it to them. The name was “Spirit Bees,” with two bees surrounding a flower. As for other details on the label, he let them follow their usual practice.
After sending the image, the glass bottle manufacturer said they would deliver both the bottles and the labels together tomorrow.
After hanging up, seeing the eager looks on the faces of the animals around him, Zhou Yu couldn’t refuse. He poured some honey into each of their food bowls and diluted it with water.
Around four in the afternoon, he took Huzi and Dabao to the beach. This time, he wanted to train Dabao’s surfing ability. After all, when Huzi went to shoot commercials or such things and couldn’t return to Taoyuan Village to surf, then Dabao and Xiaobao would have to step up.
Moreover, a surfing competition with two Divine Dogs would be even more attractive and greatly helpful for the development of Taoyuan Village.
The people on the beach saw Huzi and another Labrador Retriever walking to the seaside together and immediately erupted in excitement. One Divine Dog surfing was already astonishing, but now there were two. Everyone was filled with excitement.
Zhou Yu also carried a surfboard, planning to help Dabao get used to it first. Although they had practiced in the sea before, the waves there were too small and couldn’t compare to here.
After signing the endorsement contract with that surfboard brand from the United States, someone delivered five surfboards the next day. They also reminded him to call promptly if any broke, and they would send new ones.
Zhou Yu took Dabao, Wang Fugui pushed Huzi, and they went deep into the ocean together to start surfing.
When facing the first wave, Dabao’s movements were still a bit clumsy. But with Zhou Yu’s help, he smoothly rode toward the shore.
In the next hour, Dabao’s surfing skills improved rapidly. After all, having eaten the Spirit Beast Pill and Wind Eagle Meat, their intelligence and physical fitness had significantly increased.
Moreover, the greatest characteristic of Wind Eagle Meat was that it increased agility, which was essential for surfing. Coupled with Huzi’s previous personal teaching, by the end, Dabao and Huzi began competing.
Unfortunately, Huzi’s surfing skills were very proficient. Even when Dabao tried his hardest, he couldn’t defeat Huzi.
Even so, the cheers on the beach never stopped. Some cheered for Huzi, others for Dabao, and many captured the exciting moments with their mobile phones.
After surfing, when Huzi and Dabao came ashore, they were surrounded by many people who were excited and kept filming them. Two Divine Dogs competing in surfing amazed them incredibly. Posting this online would definitely make it viral.
Zhou Yu let them film for a while, then, with the help of the staff, returned to the Guomin Food Stall.
During dinner, Wang Fugui suddenly came over with his mobile phone. “By the way, Brother Universe, look at this video. Someone posted it online this morning, and it’s super popular now.”
Curious, Zhou Yu looked at the phone. When the video started, a figure shot across the sea surface like an arrow, leaving a trail of water behind.
“See? This person’s swimming speed is insane. I heard someone filmed this while fishing near Taoyuan Village. I wish I could swim that fast,” Wang Fugui shook his head and said longingly.
Zhou Yu, however, was stunned. He was more familiar with the scene in the video than anyone else, because the person swimming was him. At that time, after drinking half a bowl of medicinal soup and unable to suppress the medicinal power, he jumped into the sea and swam frantically. He never expected someone had filmed it. Luckily, the footage was too blurry to make out his appearance.
He thought that the next time he took the Bone Blood Pill, he couldn’t just jump from the yard like that. He had to go to a more distant part of the ocean.
Although drinking the medicinal soup sip by sip allowed him to suppress the medicinal power, he felt that the effect of drinking it intermittently later was inferior to directly drinking half a bowl in one go.
“Brother Universe, see? You’re stunned too. With that speed, if he went to the Olympics, he’d crush all the opponents,” seeing Zhou Yu’s expression, Wang Fugui thought he was also shocked by the speed in the video.
Zhou Yu snapped back to reality and smiled, shaking his head. The Olympics? Was he supposed to take a Bone Blood Pill before diving in, let the medicinal power take effect, and swim like mad? That was the same principle as using stimulants, except stimulants harmed the body, while the Bone Blood Pill could strengthen it.
After dinner, he rode his electric bike, taking Huzi and Dabao back to the Old Family House. He fed the food he brought back to Xiaobao, Gan Gan, Cui Cui, and Jinzi at home.
Then, Zhou Yu gathered the sun-dried Immortal Flavor Fruits from the yard, ground them into powder, and harvested another ten jars of Immortal Flavor Powder, the third batch.
At night, lying in bed, he thought about the events of the past few days and smiled a happy smile. Jade Dew, Immortal Flavor Fruit, and the honey collected by the Spirit Bees would become the pillars of his income at this stage. In the future, things would definitely get better and better.
That night, the radio was not turned on. Zhou Yu slept soundly. The next morning, after feeding the animals, he checked the time and then took out half a Bone Blood Pill.
Today, he did not plan to dissolve the Bone Blood Pill in water. Instead, he intended to take it directly. Based on yesterday’s test, he felt that half a Bone Blood Pill’s potency was far from enough to cause his body to explode.
The Bone Blood Pill could originally be taken by ordinary people; it just required a secret method to refine it. Although he didn’t have the secret method now, taking half a pill would only cause some physical pain.
The most important thing was that taking it directly would significantly increase the medicinal power absorbed by his body.
Zhou Yu placed half a Bone Blood Pill and one Spirit Beast Pill into a small glass vial. He opened the back door of the yard, walked into the sea, swam for a while, and reached a place far from land. He opened the glass vial, took out that half Bone Blood Pill, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The Bone Blood Pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. A surge of heat more powerful than half a bowl of medicinal soup rushed from his mouth throughout his body.
Immediately, Zhou Yu’s face turned red. His entire body seemed to emit wisps of heat. The surrounding seawater was affected by the heat from his body, continuously evaporating and enveloping him in mist.
Then, he let out a low roar, plunged into the sea, and swam continuously, venting the uncontrollable heat flow within him.
As he swam, a dolphin surfaced on the sea not far away, lingering around him. Unlike yesterday, this dolphin seemed afraid to get too close.
No matter how turbulent the heat flow was, Zhou Yu tried his best to keep his mind clear, not letting the medicinal power overwhelm him. When he really couldn’t control it, he would bite his tongue.
The surrounding seawater provided him with great help. If he were on land, whether running wildly or practicing martial arts, it wouldn’t be as easy to resist the invasion of the heat flow.
Finally, after swimming frantically for a while in the deep ocean, stirring up waves, the heat flow in his body gradually calmed down and then vanished.
Zhou Yu stopped in the sea, slowly exhaled, clenched his fists, and felt that his body seemed stronger than after drinking the medicinal soup yesterday.
This filled him with emotion. Indeed, taking the Bone Blood Pill directly resulted in more medicinal power absorption than diluted absorption.
However, at most, he could only take half a pill now. If he took a whole pill directly, his body probably couldn’t withstand it. It wouldn’t explode, but the heat flow might cause some irreversible damage to his body.
Then, Zhou Yu heard a call from nearby. He turned and saw a dolphin, immediately smiling. It was the same dolphin from yesterday.
He gently stroked the dolphin’s head with his hand, then thought of something. He took the glass vial from his body—fortunately, it wasn’t lost during his frantic swimming.
After opening the glass vial, Zhou Yu took out that Spirit Beast Pill. Holding it with his fingers, he slowly approached the dolphin.
The dolphin looked curiously at the Spirit Beast Pill in Zhou Yu’s hand, then seemed to sense something. It let out a cheerful cry, opened its mouth, and allowed Zhou Yu to place the pill into its mouth.
After eating it and feeling the medicinal power of the Spirit Beast Pill, the dolphin leaped repeatedly on the nearby sea surface, seeming very happy.
