Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Ice Silk

"Do you want to get a cool mat?"

"Option One: Rattan Cool Mat (Even though it’s already autumn, you couldn’t resist the urge to buy a rattan cool mat for yourself, so you clicked on the purchase link in the advertisement and ordered one that fits a double bed size. In three days’ time, this rattan cool mat will be delivered to your home by express delivery.)"

"Option Two: Bamboo Cool Mat (Because it’s already autumn, you don’t really want a cool mat, though you clicked into the advertisement, you closed it soon after, remembering that you already have a bamboo cool mat at home. You had a good experience using it this summer and don’t need to buy a new one.)"

"Option Three: Ice Silk Cool Mattress (Even though summer has just passed not too long ago, you still think it’s prudent to look ahead and start searching for a cool mat suitable for summer use three seasons in advance. You close the advertisement and open the Taobao app to start searching for cool mats, but you don’t find the one you had in mind.

So next, you plan to try your luck on the streets, but just as you step out of the neighborhood, you unexpectedly discover a strange Spiritual Artifact shaped like a bedsheet made of ice silk about one hundred meters deep underground by the roadside.

After getting it into your hands, you find out that this ice silk cool mat has the effects of speeding up Spiritual Qi Recovery and stabilizing the mind to reduce the chances of deviation. Aside from that, it can also be used to enhance the cultivation speed of cultivators with a Yin attribute or Water Attribute.)"

"Being able to ’accidentally’ discover something a hundred meters underground, could it be that I’m always employing ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’? I choose Option Three, the Ice Silk Cool Mat."

Zhang Yanhang didn’t hesitate at all and chose the third option; the main reason being that it’s autumn, and he really doesn’t want a cool mat, neither bamboo nor rattan. However, if it’s a Spiritual Artifact cool mat woven from ice silk, then he might consider taking it.

It’s just that he doesn’t know whether using this thing to cover the bed would make it too cold to sleep at night. If it’s cold, Zhang Yanhang might need to add an electric blanket to balance out the cold with its heat.

Of course, Zhang Yanhang could also simply use an Energy Shield to block the cold air, which would be way more convenient than an electric blanket.

Mainly, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that he didn’t even have an electric blanket at home. After all, Qin Island City starts heating in November every year, providing warmth until it ends in April, and during the heating period, the average temperature at home is around twenty-five degrees; there’s no need for an electric blanket in such conditions.

Moreover, Qin Island City is cool in summer and warm in winter. Zhang Yanhang remembered that during the hottest month of August this year, the highest temperature was only thirty degrees, and it only lasted a few days. Under normal circumstances, the temperature is mostly just twenty-eight or twenty-nine degrees, and in winter, the lowest temperature is generally only around minus five or six degrees.

Therefore, whenever underfloor heating is on, Zhang Yanhang’s home is as hot as the peak of summer, naturally eliminating the need for an electric blanket for extra warmth.

After making his choice, Zhang Yanhang did as mentioned in the option: he closed the advertisement and then reopened Taobao to search for cool mat-related products.

Although Spiritual Qi had been restored, cool mats didn’t seem to be greatly affected. They were still the same types as before, such as rattan cool mats, bamboo cool mats, leather cool mats, grass cool mats, mahjong cool mats, linen cool mats...

There were also some high-end cool mats claiming to have effecn accelerate cultivation, but Zhang Yanhang guessed these were generally false advertising.

After closing Taobao, Zhang Yanhang stood up again and went to the entrance of the neighborhood.

Because he had free time, Zhang Yanhang strolled leisurely to the neighborhood entrance, then used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil at its maximum range to perceive the underground part of the nearby road surface.

Soon, Zhang Yanhang discovered a white Ice Silk Cool Mat embroidered with some mystical creatures unfamiliar to him not far from where he found the Gathering Spirit Jade previously. Although he didn’t recognize them, they still gave a lifelike impression.

Just like when he obtained the Gathering Spirit Jade, Zhang Yanhang once again repeated his previous technique, pressing his palms to the ground and activating Alchemy. A series of Alchemy Arrays rapidly extended into the depths, reaching the hundred-meter deep Ice Silk Cool Mat and enveloping it.

Zhang Yanhang continuously fed Energy into the Alchemy Array to maintain its operation. The soil and sand under the Array’s influence churned and made way for an upward path for the Ice Silk Cool Mat.

The Ice Silk Cool Mat, under the protection of the bottom sediment, started ascending slowly from the depth of a hundred meters underground.

Because the depth this time was several times deeper than the last time, Zhang Yanhang took it out at a much slower pace.

After being watched as a performance art by passersby for quite some time, accompanied by a slight tremor, the underground soil finally pushed up the Ice Silk Cool Mat actively.

The moment he touched the Ice Silk Cool Mat, Zhang Yanhang stashed it into his Waist Bag, and he immediately ran back home after confirming he had grabbed it.

To the onlooking passersby, all they could see was Zhang Yanhang squatting on the ground, hands pressed firmly to the surface, then suddenly standing up and running off after a while, leaving everyone completely baffled about what he was doing.

When he got home, Zhang Yanhang took out the Ice Silk Cool Mat from his Waist Bag, cleaned it up, and spread it directly on the bed to test its effects.

Well, as a cool mat, it truly gave a cool and chilly feeling but didn’t reach a level of coldness; it was within a comfortable temperature range for the human body.

Okay, whether it’s cool or not isn’t really important; what Zhang Yanhang valued was its characteristic of accelerating Energy Value Recovery Speed. After actively operating the Limitless Universe Skill for a while, Zhang Yanhang found that the effect of this Ice Silk Cool Mat was almost the same as the Gathering Spirit Jade, both of which could help him double the recovery speed.

Previously, with only the Gathering Spirit Jade, the Energy Value Recovery Speed during his active use of the Limitless Universe Skill was three times the panel-stated recovery speed. But now, it had improved to four times, only one step away from the fivefold speed in the Ashen World.

"Could it be that for two consecutive days, I’ve encountered fortunate events related to Spiritual Artifacts, and they’re both able to increase the Energy Value Recovery Speed, perhaps because the system thinks I’ve been consuming a lot of Energy Value lately?"

Zhang Yanhang felt it was indeed a possibility, especially since he had been continuously depleting Energy Value lately and had been spending a lot of time actively operating the Limitless Universe Skill to recover Energy.
