Chapter 361: Chapter 360: Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass

Watching the large amount of Yin Qi continually gathering toward the other’s eyes, Zhang Yanhang thought that perhaps this guy had learned some special technique or possessed a special skill that allowed him to absorb Yin Qi. After all, the Limitless Universe Skill, an imperial official Cultivation Technique characterized mainly by its balanced and harmonious nature, would definitely not include the function of absorbing Yin Qi.

"Although I am indeed a bit curious about how the Awakener in this graveyard manages to absorb Yin Qi and use it for themselves, I should hurry to the next mountain to release the Death Wave Skill. After all, getting sleep is most important."

Zhang Yanhang’s curiosity was primarily because he wanted to know if there was any possibility that he too could obtain the ability to absorb Yin Qi. After all, he had a fairly substantial amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures related to Yin Qi in his possession. If he could obtain the ability to absorb Yin Qi, then with the help of these Yin attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he might significantly increase his Energy Value limit.

But considering that the Awakeners in the group had not mentioned anything of the sort, Zhang Yanhang felt that the method used by the other to absorb Yin Qi couldn’t possibly be universal—there was a nine out of ten chance that they had obtained some special ability in the Ashen World that enabled them to absorb Yin Qi. And even if he asked, it would likely not be replicable.

"Ugh, why can’t Multiple Choice provide me with some serious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that increase Energy Value limits? Although it’s true that these types of treasures that can increase Cultivation are indeed the rarest and most valuable Type among Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But I’ve already advanced to the Second Tier, the difficulty of obtaining such treasures should have already decreased quite a bit.

If I could get a proper Artifact that raises the Energy Value limit, I wouldn’t have had to set my sights on Yin attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

At this moment, Zhang Yanhang was attempting to hint to Multiple Choice to hurry up and provide him with a Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure that could increase his Energy Value limit. Although the likelihood of success wasn’t high, the venture was cost-free, so there would be no loss even if it failed.

After finishing his wishful thinking, Zhang Yanhang stood still and waited for a while, but regretfully, he did not receive a second stroke of serendipitous opportunity.

Slightly disappointed, Zhang Yanhang could only silently head toward the neighboring mountain. Although Multiple Choice completely disregarded his request, he indeed had no other recourse.

Seconds later, Zhang Yanhang arrived at a mid-mountain spot on the neighboring mountain. There was a moderately sized clearing, which, even without any paved tiles, had its topsoil compacted by the aunties who frequently danced there, making the ground incredibly hard. If one considered hardness alone, it would even surpass mere tiles.

Releasing the Death Wave Skill in such a place was quite safe, since most of its power targeted living beings, a small portion of its force would still disperse onto various items within its coverage area.

The reason this wasn’t very apparent during the clean-up of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was because there were thick Crimson Iron Ore walls everywhere, which could generally withstand the dispersed waves of distortion.

But, just because Crimson Iron Ore walls, harder than steel, could withstand it didn’t mean wooden furniture could. So, to prevent his home furniture from being shattered by the high-frequency Death Wave Skill, Zhang Yanhang did not release it at home but went out to find a uninhabited graveyard instead.

What he hadn’t expected was that the apparently deserted graveyard not only really contained ancient corpses from the Qing Dynasty but was also home to a female Awakener with Third Tier strength—truly outrageous.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang had now found a mountain truly empty of humans. To be on the safe side, he still used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to scan beneath the flat ground to see if anything strange was buried there.

After all, if the graveyard could contain old corpses from the Qing Dynasty, then the flat ground here might also contain bizarre evil spirits or mountain spectres.

Multiple careful and thorough scans later, Zhang Yanhang had essentially confirmed this place was devoid of any living people—not just people, but any life forms at all. The compacted ground was so hard, not even insects could survive, with only some hints of insect life in the deeper soil layers.

Despite the lack of living creatures, Zhang Yanhang still found something strange, just like at the previous graveyard site. Beneath the ground five meters directly in front of him, he discovered a distorted gold ring, buried only about a centimeter deep—quite shallow indeed.

Although not in dire need of money, Zhang Yanhang wouldn’t refuse such an unexpected find; he immediately stepped forward to dig it out and placed it in his Waist Bag. He figured it was likely lost by one of the square-dancing aunties here.

Moreover, it had to be a rather wealthy auntie. According to Zhang Yanhang’s estimate, this gold ring was at least several dozen grams and probably worth more than twenty thousand yuan. That someone could lose such a valuable item and not search for it, if she’s not considered well-off, then the poverty rate within the Empire would increase dramatically.

After dealing with the gold ring, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to release the Death Wave Skill.

Buzz—

A strange humming sound of unprecedented duration and intensity lingered long on the small plateau halfway up the mountain.

The ground, previously compacted firm by the aunties’ square dancing, instantly crumbled, forming large cracks as plumes of soil-colored dust rose in the turbulent wave of distortion.

Only after two minutes passed and the last transparent wave of distortion rapidly spread outward from Zhang Yanhang as the center did the curious humming finally fade away.

After releasing the Death Wave Skill dozens of times in quick succession, Zhang Yanhang now felt oddly drained. Mainly because the rate of Physical Strength expenditure was just too fast, giving him a sensation usually associated with depleted Energy Value, as if his body was hollowed out.

"But even though this sensation of my body being hollowed out is quite uncomfortable, the urge to sleep has indeed started to creep up on me. Now, I should finally be able to fall asleep. Now that the matter is largely settled, all I need to do is find the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass, and then I can head straight home to sleep."

The moment Zhang Yanhang thought of this, he immediately used the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill to scan the location mentioned earlier in Multiple Choice and indeed found one plant of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with stems and leaves retaining a crimson red color, among a nearby pile of small stones.
