Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 84, South Island Life, Coral
During this period of time, Wang Li has been collecting top-quality crystals of various colors for his wife. At the same time, he put most of the top-quality crystals he bought into the space, and now he has filled up another space.

After dinner that evening, Wang Li and his wife were taking a walk on the beach when they saw a fishing boat coming back from fishing.

Soon after the fishing boat docked, people around exclaimed in surprise, and the couple walked towards the crowd curiously.

After listening for a while, I learned that among the seafood brought back by the fishing boat, there was a precious treasure, that is, red coral.

Red coral is a marine creature and a very precious gem, but in this day and age, due to technological reasons, not many are caught.

This red coral was accidentally caught in the net and dragged onto the boat when the fishing boat was trawling.

Local people all know that red coral is a treasure, because in the Qing Dynasty red coral was already used as a precious gemstone for crowns and court beads.

The reason why Wang Li did not buy their red corals was not because he was afraid that they would sell them at a high price, but because Wang Li thought: It is not illegal to collect corals now, and he can use a small boat to dive in the coral-rich sea to collect corals.

He has a great advantage in diving. After practicing the Golden Body Sutra, his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, his lung capacity is quite amazing, and he can hold his breath underwater for nearly an hour.

Moreover, his diving depth can reach an astonishing one hundred meters, and he cannot go deeper than that.

The reason why he couldn't go down was not because his body couldn't bear it, but because the visibility in the deep sea was too low and it was very quiet, which would give people a strong psychological pressure. This was no exception for Wang Li, so he did not dive into too deep waters.

In addition to purchasing the finest crystals, Queen Wang Li also added a task, which was to pick corals from the sea.

He didn't want all corals, he only put some of the best corals into the space.

When I rest at home, I make some jewelry with my wife to kill time. We can also prepare some gifts to give to relatives and friends when we return to Kyoto.

Wang Li still remembers the first time he went out to sea to collect corals. The enthusiasm in Zheng Lan's eyes when she saw the bright red corals was ten times more exaggerated than when she saw crystals. After all, corals are more precious and gorgeous than crystals.

So Zheng Lan asked her husband to make her several sets of jewelry using top-quality corals. Wang Li spent his time picking corals, buying top-quality crystals, fishing, and gathering information about wood.

The couple was very satisfied with this honeymoon trip. Although it was not voluntary at first, now they are grateful to the enemy to some extent for giving them this opportunity to experience island life.

Especially Wang Li, if he hadn’t come to South Island, he wouldn’t have been able to get so many crystals and corals.

Recently, he has spent half of the money he brought with him, in exchange for nearly 5 cubic meters of top-quality crystals and corals. A small part of it is in Zheng Lan's hands, and most of it is stored in Wang Li's five-element space, which Zheng Lan does not know. Therefore, Wang Li is much more excited than Zheng Lan.

You should know that the best corals in the future will be more expensive than gold. Moreover, they are hard to come by, and the country has since banned the harvesting of red corals.

There are also two turtle shells stored in Wang Li’s space. If someone who doesn’t know the value of things sees them, they might really think they are ordinary turtle shells.

But Wang Li knew that these were precious hawksbill turtles. They were two top-quality hawksbill turtles that Wang Li had hunted while picking corals.

You know, this thing will be a precious treasure in the future. Therefore, Wang Li killed two of them and planned to take them back to Kyoto in the space to keep them.

Wang Li and Zheng Lan have been in South Island for more than three months. Now, in addition to tortoise shells, crystals and corals, there is only a giant bronze sword in the space.

It can be seen here that Wang Li made huge gains in the past few months, and of course he also spent half of the money he brought in.

He planned to use the remaining money to buy a batch of yellow rosewood and high-quality crystal. If he didn't take this opportunity to purchase in large quantities, he would buy them later.

Regardless of whether there are so many goods, the price in the future will be an astronomical figure, especially for rosewood.

Therefore, he planned to exchange all his money for rosewood and crystal, preferably rosewood, before leaving, and ship them back to Kyoto.
