Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Yin Qi Injection

The red Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures scanned by Zhang Yanhang seemed to have just ripened not long ago, so the Spiritual Energy fluctuations it released into the surroundings were relatively obscure and weak. If it weren’t for a sensitive Awakener nearby, it would be absolutely impossible to discover the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass growing in the small pile of rocks.

In fact, according to Zhang Yanhang’s long-term experience in harvesting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, although the growth environment and conditions of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are often completely different from ordinary plants, some of their responses after maturing are quite similar.

Take, for example, a red apricot just picked from the tree; although it is indeed ripe, it needs to sit for a few days to soften and become sweeter. Meanwhile, during this period, the scent it emits will also become more intense. After all, as everyone knows, the more mature fruits are, the more likely they are to attract flies, especially fruit flies.

While Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures don’t have a setting where letting them sit for a few days enhances their effects, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations they release do indeed increase over time.

Therefore, it is because Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures follow the rules of ordinary plants in this regard that ordinary Awakeners tend to find those that are fully ripe, whereas Zhang Yanhang always uses Multiple Choice to harvest those that have just matured and whose Spiritual Energy fluctuations are still very obscure.

Specifically, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of these just-ripened Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are so subtle that unless an Awakener is fully focused on Perception, they are utterly indistinguishable from ordinary weeds.

Thus, also for this reason, just-ripened Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are not easily discovered. After all, if an Awakener had to intensely focus their Perception with every step they took, merely walking a few hundred meters could exhaust them to death, and even then, there was a 99 percent chance they wouldn’t find any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After all, even though Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have become somewhat more common after the Spiritual Qi Recovery, they still aren’t as common as ordinary weeds and roadside vegetation.

In summary, the general attitude of Awakeners towards Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is to leave it to fate. They feel happy if they happen to encounter such good fortune from the heavens, but they don’t get upset if they don’t encounter any.

Moreover, the unpredictable appearance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures also limits the chances of Awakeners finding them; for example, plants like the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass, which are entirely red and look unusual, actually constitute a very small proportion of all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Due to being rapidly induced by the recovery of Spiritual Energy, the shapes of most Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are quite bizarre, such as the Xuanyin Fruit mentioned earlier. It looks like a large black apple that has been charred on the outer skin as if burnt with paper money during the burning ritual.

Who would expect such a thing to be a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure? If encountered on the road, it would certainly be too late to avoid it, let alone pick it up, given its association as food for the dead and its ominous appearance.

By the way, because the Xuanyin Fruit was found near the crematorium in Qin Island City, and there really were some paper money ashes nearby,

therefore, Zhang Yanhang had every reason to suspect that this might indeed be an accidental type of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, possibly triggered by some mishap during the burning of paper money by a family visiting a grave.

It’s as if the person being honored at the grave had somehow consumed an apple through some means, resulting in the apple being infused with a large amount of Yin Qi and Spiritual Energy.

Because of this, Zhang Yanhang never actually ate the Xuanyin Fruit, considering it was most likely food for the dead and indeed somewhat unlucky; he really found it hard to swallow.

Besides the Xuanyin Fruit, another prime example is the Smelly blood-sucking scab, which shockingly could appear beneath the floor tiles of a high school girls’ bathroom—who would think that Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might be found there? Given such a location and level of concealment, even an Ordinary Awakened couldn’t come up with the idea.

Moreover, even if they could think of it, they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the location. After all, considering the number of girls’ restrooms, scanning each one would be exhausting, and just the smell alone could cause them physical discomfort.

After all, girls’ restrooms aren’t actually cleaner than boys’ restrooms because boys’ restrooms might have just toilet paper, whereas girls’ restrooms have bloody sanitary pads. It’s like one specializes in Physical damage, while the other mixes Physical damage with Magical damage.

Thus, the real power of each depends on how dedicated the cleaning lady is and the usage ratio of each restroom.

Furthermore, while it’s not entirely impossible for Awakeners with strong willpower to obtain a Smelly blood-sucking scab, the Black Plum Zhang Yanhang recently acquired was entirely different.

It was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure obtained entirely through online shopping, relying purely on luck and timing to order that box of wrinkly, unappetizing-looking Black Plums.

This box of Black Plums from Pinduoduo was not only a matter of luck but also highly deceptive in appearance; who would have guessed that a box of wrinkly Black Plums would contain a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?

Due to the unreliable appearance of most Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Xuanyin Fruit and the Black Plum, many Awakeners, even if they saw them, couldn’t recognize them as such, resulting in many Ordinary Awakened not finding any even half a year after the Spiritual Qi Recovery.

In the matter of acquiring Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Zhang Yanhang was quite confident. He felt that although he might not excel in many things, he could definitely outdo the vast majority (99.99%) of Awakeners in this regard.

After all, could an ordinary Awakener, even with high Luck Value, trigger one or more Multiple Choice adventures daily like him? That was utterly impossible.

Upon locating the exact position of the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang immediately leaped into the air without any hesitation, jumping right off the mid-mountain platform.

With a loud thud, Zhang Yanhang, who knew nothing about buffering, stood straight next to a small pile of rocks.

At the same time, the powerful impact of Zhang Yanhang’s landing shook the already precarious pile of rocks, scattering them and revealing the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass hidden within.
