Chapter 368: Chapter 367: Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass

Because Jiading Mountain and Shuangshan were separated only by a road, Zhang Yanhang had taken just a few seconds to move from the summit of Jiading Mountain to the summit of Shuangshan.

Perhaps because its position in the remaining mountain range was farther back than Jiading Mountain, the altitude of Shuangshan had decreased compared to Jiading Mountain, probably only a little over one hundred meters.

However, although Shuangshan was lower in elevation than Jiading Mountain, it covered a slightly larger area, so, rounding it all up, the situation of the two was actually quite similar.

But while the area and altitude were similar, the environments of Jiading Mountain and Shuangshan couldn’t be more different; despite only being separated by a road, the trees and vegetation planted on Shuangshan were completely unlike the barrenness of Jiading Mountain, and even though it was already autumn, they still appeared lush and thick.

Because he had received hints from Multiple Choice, Zhang Yanhang, had immediately headed to the far right side of Shuangshan after entering, and, sure enough, discovered an old crooked tree there, but he didn’t immediately see any trace of the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass.

Fortunately, the problem wasn’t significant, Zhang Yanhang, after briefly scanning with Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, quickly found a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure behind a rock whose stems and leaves were all in a brilliant green state.

Perhaps because it was his second time discovering this type of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Zhang Yanhang also noticed other characteristics of it; notably, its overall appearance looked rather like a brilliant green gemstone, giving it a crystal-clear appearance.

Zhang Yanhang felt the features of the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass might be the source of the ’crystal’ in its name.

But characteristics like that didn’t really matter; so long as the appearance of the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass wasn’t shaped utterly like poop, for the sake of increasing his Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang could generally persuade himself to eat it.

After locating the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang immediately scraped the stone aside and pulled out the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass hidden behind it.

Like the previous Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang merely shook off the soil from the roots of the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Although he could have washed it with water before eating, as the saying goes, a little dirt doesn’t harm you if you’re not sick, and it’s best to consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in their original flavor.

After all, if it were some type of fire-related Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, washing it with water might easily cause a loss of nutrients due to attribute rejection, thereby decreasing its effectiveness.

And a more important reason was that Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Shield could automatically filter out everything he didn’t need, so shaking off the soil from the root was merely a habitual action; even if he had eaten it directly, that bit of soil would have been automatically repelled by the Energy Shield outside his mouth.

Perhaps because it was the same type of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, after chewing the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass in his mouth a few times, Zhang Yanhang also experienced a bitter taste, and moreover, this taste was even several times bitterer than the already bitterer-than-bitter-gourd Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass.

This taste even made Zhang Yanhang, who was supposedly very accustomed to enduring hardship, involuntarily frown, and he began to wonder if this Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass wasn’t ripe yet, or why else would it be several times bitterer than the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass?

But as bitter as it was, enduring it a bit, he continued chewing and after completely crushing the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang immediately swallowed it.

After consuming the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang’s brain immediately felt a cool sensation, which instantly invigorated the already slightly drowsy Zhang Yanhang.

Faced with this result, the feelings in Zhang Yanhang’s heart were quite complicated, "Ah, the effect of the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass was just about to wear off, and unexpectedly, this Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass can also remove my sleepiness; I just wanted to sleep, why is it so difficult?"

"Forget it, I’ll deal with sleep later; right now, I should first check how much my Energy Value Limit has increased after eating the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass..." Zhang Yanhang said this while starting to check his own Energy Value.

[Shield Value: 3599/3599 (Life Value Limit × 150%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]

[Life Value: 2399/2399 (Constitution × 21, body has now officially digitized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 15 points per hour.)]

[Energy Value: 440/950 (Intelligence × 15, body has now officially digitized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 45 points per hour.)]

"My Energy Value Limit has actually increased from the original nine hundred points to nine hundred fifty points? Does that mean that the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass just now helped increase my Energy Value Limit by fifty points? Holy shit, Multiple Choice really went above and beyond this time."

Zhang Yanhang initially thought that the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass might, at most, increase his Energy Value Limit by a dozen or twenty points, which would be roughly equivalent to the benefit obtained from increasing one Intelligence Attribute point.

But unexpectedly, he actually gained fifty points in Energy Value Limit, which was even more than the benefit of increasing three Intelligence Attribute points.

"I didn’t expect that just after saying the increase in Energy Value Limit might stagnate, Multiple Choice quickly proved me wrong, but this kind of face-slapping is good, the more it happens, the faster my strength can grow."

Zhang Yanhang was quite delighted with the increase in Energy Value Limit to nine hundred fifty points, as it meant he had taken another solid step closer to achieving a four-digit Energy Value Limit, now just fifty points away.

"So, the question comes, where should I find these missing fifty points of Energy Value Limit?"

Zhang Yanhang pondered carefully, unless Multiple Choice could help him find another Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass or a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure with similar effects, this time, he might actually be unable to increase his Energy Value Limit again in a short period.

Although he would really like to be proven wrong by Multiple Choice in this matter, this time it was likely not possible, considering he had already encountered two fortunate events today. To trigger another such incident, and specifically one that could increase the Energy Value Limit, would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
