Su Yu opened the little bottle for some balm.
The balm was purplish-black in color and it glistened under the sunlight. It seemed rather pretty.
He then applied the balm on Uncle Zhang's back.
Uncle Zhang clearly felt an obvious stream of energy enter his body through his back. The balm felt a little warm when it touched his skin, but it was comfortable.
"How do you feel, Uncle Zhang?"
"Great! Lil' Yu, your family balm is really something! It's a lot better than those balms from the pharmacy."
Su Yu accepted the praise proudly. "Of course, it is! After applying the balm, don't take a bath for the rest of the day. Wait until it dries up completely tomorrow and you can wash it off."
The effect of the Black Jade Discontinuous Balm would last the whole day, and it must be applied the entire day for it to be effective to the body.
"Okay, I got it," Uncle Zhang said.
"Have some rest. I'll go back next door," Su Yu said.
After massaging and applying the balm for Uncle Zhang, Su Yu intended to go back.
Uncle Zhang wanted him to stay for lunch, but Su Yu shook his head. "It's okay, Uncle Zhang. Remember to have a lot of rest. I'll have lunch back at my place."
When Su Yu returned to his house, it was already time for lunch, so he started preparing.
After having the rice sold by the system, Su Yu no longer preferred normal rice. He could not help it because the Golden Jade Rice from the system was delicious. He planned to try out the other ingredients in the shop to make something for lunch.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on getting the Fiery Turkey for 8,000 Popularity.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on getting the Jade Cabbage for 2,000 Popularity.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on getting the White Dragon Carrot for 4,000 Popularity.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on getting the Spirit Tail Egg for 5,000 Popularity.]
After getting all the necessary ingredients, Su Yu was ready to make lunch.
On the menu for lunch were cubed spicy chicken, fried cabbage, and carrot egg soup which were all simple dishes.
Su Yu took the ingredients out from the system, and the items appeared from thin air in his kitchen.
There was even a live rooster in his yard. The rooster was thoroughly red, unlike any other normal chicken. Its red feathers looked like they were burning.
The viewers saw the red chicken pop up from the yard.
"D*mn! What chicken is that?"
"A chicken with red feathers? I must have lived long enough to witness the eighth wonder of the world!"
"It looks strange! The feathers look like they are glowing. Is this the legendary turkey?"
"D*mn! Don't comment if you are ignorant! Turkeys have black feathers!"
"Master Su, where is he? Introduce the chicken, please! What kind of chicken is it?"
Su Yu came out from the kitchen with a knife in his hand. He was looking at the rooster with an evil look. "This is just a normal village chicken. I'm making cubed spicy chicken for lunch."
"A normal chicken? If it is a normal chicken, I'll eat sh*t for lunch! Why isn't my house chicken red?"
"There's a chicken farm beside my house, and if this is a normal chicken, I guess the chicken farmers will cry a river."
"Master Su, if you want to lie to us, at least come up with a more convincing excuse. We all have had village chickens before."
Su Yu did not answer the question. He walked to the chicken with the knife.
The chicken was in a daze when Su Yu snuck up on it from the back. He grabbed the chicken by the wings.
"Gotcha!"
The moment he grabbed its wings, the chicken struggled fiercely. It was unusually strong. There were even embers on both ends of its wings that slowly engulfed the wings whole.
Su Yu's hands were burned, so he was forced to release it.
"D*mn!"
"D*mn!"
"D*mn!"
"Is it me or are those chicken's wings burning?"
"I saw it too! Master Su, explain yourself! What are you going to say now? Why is there fire on the village chicken's wings?"
"Don't fking tell me this chicken is from the cultivation world! The wings are on fire!"
"A normal chicken and a normal cultivator. Master Su, I know who you are now!"
"I guess this is what they say when you lack the strength to truss a chicken!"
The viewers got excited when they saw fire coming from the chicken's wings. They finally got solid evidence that Su Yu was a cultivator!
While Su Yu was trying to catch the chicken in his yard, something else was happening at Lishui County Office.
Professor Wang Lin from Beijing's Wildlife Research Team was sitting opposite the county magistrate. The two of them were talking about something before the sound of knocks came from the door.
"Come in," said the magistrate.
It was a young man from the research team, and he looked excited.
"Professor, look at this!"
The young man showed the professor his phone.
It was showing Su Yu's live stream, and Su Yu was currently catching the red chicken in his yard.
Professor Wang Lin had a quick glance, and it shocked him. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"What kind of chicken is this? I've never seen anything like this before!"
Not even a knowledgeable person like Professor Wang Lin had seen such a chicken before. He told the young intern to screenshot the image of the chicken and send it to another wildlife professor who studied aviary.
A few minutes later, the aviary professor texted Professor Wang Lin, asking where the picture came from. It might be a new discovery of a new breed of chicken because it has never been seen before.
Professor Wang Lin bolted up in excitement. It seemed like his visit to Lishui County had rewarded him largely.
Not only did he find three wild South Chinese tigers, but he had even accidentally discovered a new breed of chicken, one that was never seen before!
If the chicken was real, it would shock the world.
He might even be the next winner of the World Biology Award.
Professor Wang Lin said, "Hurry, we must go back! We must bring the chicken back!"
"Mr. Magistrate, you…"
The magistrate also bolted up in excitement. His face was reddish when he heard there might be a new breed of chicken discovered in his county.
It was great news! If it was real, he might even get something out of this, his county was where the new breed of chicken was discovered after all.
Could this mean a chance for him to earn a promotion?
The magistrate noticed an opportunity, so of course, he would cooperate with the professor.
"Professor Wang, don't worry. This isn't just your research team's matter anymore. We have the duty to do something about this as well. As the magistrate of Lishui County, we will fully assist you in this operation. I'll tell the police to lead the way!"
The magistrate's support fueled Professor Wang Lin's confidence. He then led a group of men back to Xiantai Village, looking all intimidating and determined.
With the support of the local government, he ought to bring back the South Chinese tiger and the new breed of chicken!
Confidently, Professor Wang Lin started to discuss a plan with his research team while sitting in the police cruisers.
