A few days later, the reward from the Public Security Bureau finally arrived.
In the main hall of the front courtyard, several bailiffs from the Public Security Bureau respectfully presented a brocade box and a wooden crate.
"Lord Su, these are the goods and rewards you redeemed from the Merit Pavilion. The brocade box contains a fifty-year Crimson Flame Vermilion Fruit and three stalks of top-grade wild ginseng. The wooden crate holds ten bolts of Yun Jin and three hundred catties of Red Essence Earth Dragon Pork. Please inspect them."
Su Yu reached out, took the most exquisite little brocade box, and instructed, "Li Da, take inventory of the other items and move them to the storeroom."
He opened the brocade box.
A searing wave of heat washed over him. Inside lay a thumb-sized fruit, translucent and crystalline, the color of a ruby. A faint shimmer of fire seemed to dance across its skin, and it exuded a sweet, intoxicating aroma.
