Chapter 107 - 104: An Unexpected Encounter

[Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed], Level 5 high-quality material, can increase Spiritual Qi by 40 points after consumption, Spiritual Qi digestion cycle of 6 hours.A lotus seed has been collected.

This is somewhat similar to the Spiritual Qi Fruit that Bald Qiang found before.

However, the effect of the Level 5 Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed is much stronger than the Level 2 Spiritual Qi Fruit.

The Spiritual Qi digestion cycle is 6 hours.

This is faster than the digestion and absorption of ordinary Spirit Realm food.

Theoretically, one can take 4 in a day, and the Spiritual Qi replenished is quite substantial.

This thing is akin to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in martial arts novels that can increase one’s power upon consumption. If it were to be auctioned, someone would be willing to spend a fortune on it.

Even though Spiritual Energy Lotus Seeds are precious, Hang Yu doesn’t want this. Hang Yu is now Level 4, and there are fast ways to accumulate Spiritual Qi. Would he still need the Spiritual Qi from just one lotus seed?

He shifts his position.

Continues collecting.

"Collection failed!"

"Collection failed!"

"..."

"Obtained ’Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed’!"

Why the hell is it another Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed?

He couldn’t even be bothered to look, tossed it into the storage space, shifted his position, and continued collecting!

The quality of Spirit Realm items from low to high is as follows: Common items (gray), High-quality items (white), Rare items (green), Overlord level items (blue), King level items (purple), Epic items (silver), Legendary items (gold), Mythical items (Spiritual Energy color is not fixed).

The highest quality Spirit-Gathering Golden Lotus is King level.

This Spirit-Gathering Golden Lotus is not yet fully grown, but at the very least, it is an Overlord level existence. Typically, fully collecting Overlord level materials requires at least Intermediate Collection Skill.

Even though Hang Yu’s collection skill is low-level, it can still be used for collecting, but the extent and amount of items collected really depend on luck!

Fortunately, his collection skill is fully proficient.

Allowing the low-level collection skill to achieve the best result.

"..."

"Obtained Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed!"

What the hell, another lotus seed.

Do I want lotus seeds? Am I short on Spiritual Qi?

One lotus seed is 40 points of Spiritual Qi; three equal 120 points.

If put up for auction on the market, it would definitely be of immense value because there are many at Level 2 at the moment, and the total Spiritual Qi needed to level from 2 to 3 is only 100 points. It would certainly have a lot of wealthy people fighting for it.

Even for Hang Yu himself,

it’s quite a substantial amount of Spiritual Qi.

A day at the Corpse Witch Temple only yielded over two hundred points of Spiritual Qi.

Just this much in a short time has surpassed half a day’s worth in the Spirit Realm; even if I get nothing afterward, just this haul makes the trip worthwhile.

"Collection failed!"

"Collection failed!"

"Collection failed!"

"..."

Hang Yu continued to crazily collect the spirit plant. The effect of the horror howl had now faded, and the crocodile horde had evidently discovered the intruder, immediately beginning to swim back.

He was getting a bit nervous.

Why is the success rate of collection so low?

Even though my collection skill is still low-level, it is at least fully proficient, it’s just too unscientific.

Could it be that some ancestor of mine had a dark-skinned distant cousin, now resting on Africa’s fertile red soil?

No!

I don’t believe in such nonsense!

He gulped down a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion.

Hang Yu’s Spirit quickly recovered, and around him, the low growls of the crocodile monsters could be heard, several of which were within striking distance, ready to pounce on him the next second.

No choice.

The Skill Scroll was activated once more.

The horror howl was released again.

The surrounding crocodiles were all affected by the fear effect, fleeing madly as if encountering a natural enemy, buying roughly another ten seconds of time.

"..."

"Collection failed!"

"Obtained ’Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed’!"

Another Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed, dammit, another lotus seed!

Though it is not of low value, able to trade for a piece of decent attribute white equipment for Level 2 or 3, the Spiritual Energy Lotus Seed is the least valuable thing obtained from collecting the Spirit-Gathering Lotus Plant; the really good stuff hasn’t even appeared yet.

"Failed, failed, failed!"

"Obtained Life Lotus Seed."

Huh, this lotus seed seems a bit different.

[Life Lotus Seed], Level 5 high-quality material, permanently increases Life Force by 3 points, can only be consumed once, repeated consumption is ineffective.

Good stuff!

Things that can permanently increase Life Force are extremely rare in the early stages. The Life Lotus Seed may hold more personal value to Hang Yu than several Spiritual Energy Lotus Seeds combined.

Not enough!

The Spirit-Gathering Lotus plant holds more treasures than just this!

It has many other good things on it!

Must make this guy cough them up!

"Failure, failure, failure..."

"Obtained Rage Lotus Seed."

[Rage Lotus Seed], Level 5 high-quality material, increases Strength, Agility, Constitution, Soul Power, and Intelligence by 10 points, effects last for 30 minutes.

Another lotus seed with special effects.

It can greatly increase attributes in a short time.

Not bad, this item is also of significant value, perhaps playing a crucial role when attacking the Wild Boar Stronghold, as there are lord-level monsters there!

It’s the sixth lotus seed!

The collection is becoming increasingly difficult!

The success rate seems to be getting smaller as well.

However, the crocodile horde was relentlessly returning once again.

Hang Yu had two horror howl scrolls in his hand, each capable of releasing two skills; he had already used one, now having to take out the second one.

The horror howl was launched once more!

The crocodiles were scared off again.

Hang Yu gulped down a Spirit Recovery Potion and continued.

After eight consecutive failures, finally succeeded in collecting again.

This time, it wasn’t a lotus seed but a piece of rare material.

[Spiritual Lotus Leaf], Level 5 rare material, a lotus leaf gathered with essence from the Spirit-Gathering Lotus Plant, with effects of resisting toxins, resisting negative states, and continuously restoring Life Force and Spiritual Power.

The Spirit-Gathering Lotus Plant encompasses treasures like the lotus leaf, lotus pod, lotus flower, lotus root, and lotus stems.

Unlike the Wisdom Fruit that Er Gou had swallowed,

this isn’t a fruit-type treasure, so its essence is scattered.

If you cut the lotus plant with a knife or forcibly uproot it to take it back and make a soup, it would have an effect, but during this process, the loss of Spiritual Energy would be immense.

This is the same concept as hunting and gathering.

Collecting skills gather mountain chickens and wild rabbits, at a glance just gaining one or two parts, but in reality, the whole essence of the game is concentrated in them, thus having higher culinary and usage value.

The six lotus seeds are very precious.

But they’re all high-quality items.

The Spiritual Lotus Leaf, however, is a rare-level item.

In terms of quality, the Spiritual Lotus Leaf is a tier higher.

"There’s still a chance!"

"Let’s do it again!"

Hang Yu, daringly, used his last horror howl.

The crocodile horde retreated once again, gaining another precious ten seconds.

"Collection failed!"

"Collection failed!"

"Collection failed!"

"Obtained Spiritual Lotus Root!"

[Enhanced Spirit Gathering Lotus Root], Level 5 rare ingredient, contains 80 points of Spiritual Energy.

Yet another rare material.

But this time, what was obtained was an ingredient.

The Spiritual Lotus Root is a rare-quality item, equivalent to an ingredient collected from a lord-level monster’s body, naturally incomparable to ordinary and high-quality materials in terms of Spiritual Energy content.

Spiritual Energy content as high as eighty points.

If cooked properly, it could turn into a superb Spirit Realm delicacy increasing Spiritual Qi by over sixty points, surpassing the quantity of Spirit Realm lotus seeds, and may include other bonus effects.

From the perspective of ingredients,

it’s incredibly precious.

Six lotus seeds, one Spiritual Lotus Leaf, one Spiritual Lotus Root.

In truth, the overall harvest is already immense. These things could trade for seven or eight pieces of Level 3 to 4 bright white equipment, a few minutes of harvest almost equivalent to a day in the Spirit Realm!

What is an adventure?

This is what an adventure is!

But this isn’t the whole adventure!

This is still far from the expected gains!
