A truffle

This scene surprised Liu Yang, but he recovered quickly because he already knew about it.

Whenever he helped Su Mei with some night work, he received some spoils. It was often items with energy to be refined and absorbed.

But when Liu Yang woke up, the energies had already been absorbed and there was nothing left.

Liu Yang always thought that this was something done by the crystal inside his body, but he had no evidence that this was really what was happening.

Thus, the scene was proof of his theory.

(Will I be able to use the energies that are absorbed and refined by the crystal-like that time? Or will it just absorb the energies?) Liu Yang still remembered that day, when he saved Shysha and killed a person for the first time.

His body didn't have that much energy, but it was enough for a breakthrough.

Liu Yang and Shysha knew that that power was crystal.

But it only happened once. On none of the occasions, when he worked, it has happened.

So, Liu Yang didn't know if the crystal inside his body was a good thing or not.

"I better stop thinking about it. Thinking about it will not help me at all "Liu Yang started meditating again to regain his energy before walking again.

The recovery time was shorter than before because he did not spend as much energy this time.

So, in less than half an hour, he was already up and walking to the site to dig.

The place was not far from where he was, so it didn't take long to get there.

Liu Yang only had to walk for about three minutes.

"I think this is the place" Liu Yang closed his eyes and used the power of the earth element to check the soil.

The place where Liu Yang was in front of a tree with a thick trunk of broad, green leaves, and with many roots outside. The tree had no fruit or anything, just green leaves that looked like a little umbrella.

The energy waves spread like sonar and scan the area around and underground.

"Two meters ..." Liu Yang verified that the item was two meters deep.

This was a little deep, but it would be worth it for someone like him.

But how did Liu Yang know that there was an item on the ground? How did he know it wasn't just a rock or something? His technique of spreading the energies like sonar could find something that was on the ground, but it could be anything. How does he know it was not a useless thing?

The answer is simple.

The energy waves released by Liu Yang can detect any type of object inside the ground. But how is it possible to know the difference between a stone and a rare mineral? Liu Yang did not know the answer to that, as both were the same for him because they had no natural energies.

The size of the things that the energy waves are also differential because it was possible to know if it was a giant rock or something else.

But how did he manage to locate that item? This is simple.

Liu Yang could not differentiate between two things that do not emanate energy, but the things that have special energies, Liu Yang can feel the difference.

When his waves of energy pass through the ground, Liu Yang can feel the energies being emanated from the things that are inside the ground. If there is anything energetic, he knew. If not, he will think that it is just some ordinary stone or mineral.

"How am I going to dig? I only have my hands ... Or use a stick like those videos of two people building houses with two sticks" Liu Yang thought. He still remembers those incredible videos that he had seen some time ago.

Two people in the middle of the forest building houses using two sticks and digging the soil.

Looking around, Liu Yang saw several types of thick and large trees, any branch was strong enough to help him dig a hole.

Picking up any branch, Liu Yang began to dig the ground. This was difficult because there was little sand that was removed.

Half an hour later ...

Liu Yang was only able to dig a hole half a meter deep and a foot in diameter. He needed to get down in the hole to get the item because his arms didn't reach.

"This is really tiring ... should I test the ability of the earth element?" Liu Yang murmured.

Doing so was not very tiring for him, but it was very tedious.

His body became much stronger after physical training and cultivation. So it was hard for him to get tired after making that little effort.

Unfortunately, Liu Yang did not want to spend a lot of time digging a two-meter hole using a stick. If he used his hands it would be faster, and more tiring.

What was left was to use the initial ability of the earth element. The skill was called Earth Spike.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yang decided to do this.

"Earth Spike" Liu Yang placed both hands on the ground and closed his eyes.

At the same time that he was using his ability, the waves of energies were probing the ground to see if the ability would harm the item or not.

shake... shake…

The hole in front of him started to shake when the ground slowly rose to form a stone spear.

A few seconds later ...

A small stone pillar came out of the hole. The appearance was like a pointed cone.

"It looks like the item hasn't been damaged." Liu Yang sighed with relief. He put his hand on the stone pillar and probed the interior to check the situation.

An excited look appeared on his face when he waved his hand.

crack… crack…

A small hole appeared in the pillar and he took something out of it.

"What is it?" Liu Yang saw that the item was similar to a potato, but the color was light black and had a sweet and fragrant smell.

"According to the things I had seen on the internet, I think this is a truffle." Liu Yang thought.

Truffles were the only things he could remember that had similar characteristics to the item he had in hand.

But unlike the normal truffles that were found in nature, the truffle in Liu Yang's hand exuded pure energy from nature. This made the truffle a treasure to use in cultivation or as an ingredient to create pills, medicinal pastes, or elixirs.

Suddenly, the worst thing that could happen. It happened again.

The crystal inside Liu Yang's body began to absorb the energy contained within the truffle quickly.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This scene shocked Liu Yang because he didn't think it would happen again.

Fortunately, the crystal did not fully absorb the energies contained in the truffle and about ten percent remained. This was better than nothing.

"At least I can still enjoy some of that ..." Liu Yang closed his eyes and concentrated.
