Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 27 — Golden Silk Pill
Two years after Xiao Rou left, Zhou Yuan now had free time in his residence and the time he used to practice.
The Night Bats Group's assault made Zhou Yuan rethink his practice especially regarding physical forging.
Zhou Yuan felt that even though his physique was already strong but had not touched anything he expected, therefore now Zhou Yuan was refocusing his training on the quality of bones, he wanted to quickly perfect the Diamond Bone Technique up to 100%.
Zhou Yuan started to consume the Night Fairy Flower more than usual, it made his bone increase also increase faster.
"It will take me at least three more years I can perfect this 100% Bone Technique..." Zhou Yuan sighed, should he admit he was indeed impatient at improving the quality of his bones to a more perfect level.
Zhou Yuan then came out of his room after training all night, he found his mother cooking and it immediately changed the look on his face.
"Mother, why don't the waitress cook?" Zhou Yuan hurriedly approached his mother with a feeling of anxiety.
"Yuan'er, you're just like your father, forbidding me to do a lot of things." Lin Ruyue answered him tightly.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, indeed all this time on his father's orders he had to keep his mother tighter than usual.
The reason was simple because Lin Ruyue was now pregnant with her second child so Zhou Yuan had to maintain her mother's condition so as not to get tired.
Eight months ago, Zhou Yuan received happy news from his parents that he was going to get a younger brother.
Zhou Yuan who was initially confused finally understood that his mother was pregnant again.
Zhou Yuan was pleased as well as his father and the rest of the Zhou Family. Even Zhou Bing made a celebration in Riva City over Lin Ruyue's pregnancy.
Now Lin Ruyue was 8 months old, there was only one month left for her to give birth.
Zhou Yao ordered some servants to take care of his wife as she used to during her first pregnancy, Zhou Yao could not always be next to his wife at all times due to his family's work let alone some more time he was appointed Chairman of the Zhou Family next in place of his father Zhou Bing.
"Mother, let Yuan do the cooking. I'm sitting at the table..." Before his mother answered Zhou Yuan had even taken over his cooking job.
Lin Ruyue sighed. "Alright, Yuan'er, you won again this time..." Lin Ruyue pinched the cheek of her son in a frenzy then handed over her cooking job.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly. "I don't intend to offend you Mother, I'm just worried about the baby's sister."
"Yes, and you say that every time I move." Lin Ruyue sat down while a small snort.
Lin Ruyue's attitude had indeed changed slightly since she was pregnant, according to her father's remark that while pregnant with Zhou Yuan as well, her mother had become more sensitive than usual, she had even been childish at times.
Zhou Yuan made a meal that morning, he could not be said to be an expert in cooking but at least the food was good enough to be enjoyed. Moreover, he also learned to cook from his mother who is very skilled in the field.
"Yuan'er, what do you expect from your sister, boy or girl?" Lin Ruyue asked as she stroked her already large stomach.
Zhou Yuan stopped his cooking stirring hearing the question. "Boy or girl I'm still happy, Mom, she's my sister."
"You're right, Yuan'er, he will indeed be your younger brother..." It was not Lin Ruyue's voice but rather Zhou Yao's father who had just returned home.
"Dad..."
"My husband..."
Lin Ruyue as well as Zhou Yuan were both shocked when they saw Zhou Yao especially his sluggish and tired-looking condition.
"My husband, you need to rest today." Lin Ruyue first reminded with a feeling of worry.
Zhou Yuan also agreed with his mother's words, according to him his father had worked too hard and needed a lot of rest.
He learned that in recent months Zhou Bing had been conducting closed-door training at his home. The fight against Ling Yun had a huge impact on his strength - an enlightenment to be able to break through to the next stage.
His job as the city leader and the Family was entrusted Zhou Bing to Zhou Yao, which made Zhou Yao always come home early in the morning.
Actually the job of the City Leader was not that long and tired but because Zhou Yao was not used to it so he always went home.
Zhou Yao smiled at the anxiety of his wife and child.
"Well, actually Dad here also wants a break, the Family Leader has gone out of his training and returned to lead the Family..." Zhou Yao was now free, he could rest longer.
Zhou Yuan then served food to his mother and father, the three then had breakfast together.
"Taste you very good Yuan'er, is this a recipe from your mother?" Zhou Yao tasted a little of the soup Zhou Yuan made and it was no less delicious than his wife's.
Zhou Yuan nodded, indeed the recipe was taught by his mother.
"Of course, who else could have taught him how to cook..." Lin Ruyue answered him with pride.
Zhou Yao chuckled. After the three breakfasts Zhou Yao chose to rest with his wife but before he went to Zhou Yao's room told Zhou Yuan that he was ordered by his grandfather to face him.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he immediately went to the main hall and found Zhou Bing sitting on his throne.
"Ah, Yuan'er, you've arrived." Zhou Bing smiled enthusiastically when he saw his grandson.
"Grandfather is there something?"
In the main hall there was no one but the two of them, this meant that Zhou Bing wanted to talk about something special and confidential.
Zhou Yuan could feel that his Grandfather's strength had risen even stronger, if his previous level was at the 7th Stage Crystal Realm now he had ascended to Stage 8.
Zhou Bing then took out a small box under his cloak before giving it to Zhou Yuan.
When Zhou Yuan opened the small box he saw that there was a single golden-colored pill inside.
"Grandfather, isn't this pill..." Zhou Yuan said hesitantly.
"You know him? I've guessed your knowledge is indeed vast Yuan'er." Zhou Bing nodded slowly. "Right, as you thought this is the Golden Silk Pill."
Zhou Yuan did not hold back his shock, he did not believe the box he was holding was the most valuable pill in these Four Empires.
Zhou Bing then told him that he had obtained the pill from Ling Yun's body, Zhou Bing was equally surprised and did not expect Ling Yun to have a high-class pill like this.
The Golden Silk Pill was the most precious pill, one pill alone was enough to make a region fight over it. The Gold Silk Pill in addition to being sold at exorbitant prices, its manufacture was also extremely difficult and rare.
Even the alchemists mentioned that it took 5 years for an alchemist to make his first Golden Silk Pill.
The manufacture is quite discrete, there are many materials in the manufacture and each material is very difficult to find. Almost the Four Empires knew the pill included its efficacy.
