Chapter 26 Spiritualization Attempt Synthesis
All four fields were originally planted with morning glories.
The mutated morning glories I grew last time had deep, rich colors, as if they were soaked in blood.
But the morning glory that appeared in front of Xiao Jiu and the others now had snow-white edges on its trumpet-shaped petals, while a touch of light purple emerged near the center of the flower's stamen, making it look very cute and pretty.
It is much smaller than a normal morning glory, only about the size of a thumbnail when it blooms. Moreover, unlike a normal morning glory, which blooms along the vine at intervals, several flowers grow side by side and are crowded into a cluster the size of a fist.
Having learned from the previous experience of the blood mist affecting and causing mutated flowers to grow, they immediately realized that the spiritual energy filtered from Xiao Jiu's body had once again affected this space.
Xiao Jiu carefully began harvesting, but soon he realized that this flower was different; it was particularly sturdy.
Under the system's astonished gaze, he suddenly stretched his arm into the ground.
Xiao Jiu was strong, so with this effort he buried his entire arm in the ground. He blinked and slowly pulled his hand out.
When he lifted the entire flower plant, roots and all, the system and the furry creatures watching realized that he was saving time.

Performable operations: selling, storing, decomposing, synthesizing
Everyone immediately noticed that the broadcast content had changed.
The system quickly replied: [Host, the analysis is complete. The energy composition of this morning glory is different from the previous mutated morning glories.]
The system spoke into Xiao Jiu's mind while simultaneously writing explanations using the red mist.
Based on the data analysis results, it can be basically determined that the spiritualized and the mutated morning glories are two different things. Although neither type of flower has any buffs or debuffs, the spiritualized morning glories were found to contain a special component with medicinal value.
Looking at the words generated by the system, Suanni asked, "So, if we use this synthesis function, we can directly turn these flowers into medicine?"
System: [It should work.]
It explained: "My synthesis function was originally designed more for fun than practicality. It was meant to let the host try synthesizing crops and experience the joy of exploring new flower synthesis paths. The occasional drop of auxiliary items was also to increase the sense of accomplishment, but..."
But ever since the blood mist spread and the system inexplicably upgraded to a secondary level, it seems to have mutated as well.
With insufficient data and inability to analyze it, it cannot be 100% certain that it can synthesize the drug.
Suanni urged, "Whether it succeeds or not, let's give it a try first."
But there's another problem.
The system lamented, "[The synthesis can only be performed in a physical warehouse, but the current warehouse is just a crack; even if we manage to create the medicine, we won't be able to access it.]"
The bead called Moon Spring Eye floated out on its own after being synthesized because it had a built-in levitation function, but medicine can't possibly become able to fly, can it?
Taotie opened its eyes a crack and looked at the horizontal fish swimming outside the farmland barrier: "Awooo."
Suanni: "Yes! There's water everywhere now, and Henggong fish can swim across!"
That's one way to do it.
The blue light emanating from the Moon Spring doesn't care about cracks or anything like that; it just darts around in the air. The cracks are now filled with countless streams of water, almost completely overflowing them.
So theoretically, the flounder can indeed swim down with the current and bring the compound up.
The question is, would the flounder be willing to do that?
The cracks aren't entirely safe either; another spatial passage or a smaller crack might appear, and you could get sucked in...
The Suanni squatted on the soil and raised its head: "We can't understand your language, so if you want, you can blow one bubble, or if you don't want to, you can blow a string of bubbles."
He looked at the flounder: "Would you like to go down?"
Before Henggongyu could answer, Suanni immediately said, "If you don't want to, just say you don't want to. Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't go. It's not a crime to refuse directly."
Henggongyu looked at the unusually serious Suanni and opened its mouth firmly.
He only blew one bubble.
Suanni frowned but said nothing.
So after Xiao Jiu harvested all twenty spirit morning glories in the field, for the first time, they did not choose to sell them on the spot, but instead stored them all in the warehouse.
The distance between the farmland and the edge of the crack is about 20 to 30 meters. The Suanni is afraid of water, so it stayed in the farmland area, which allowed it to observe the condition of the Xuan Turtle.
The sunlight was hazy, revealing a huge, pitch-black crack. Beside it, a child-shaped zombie, a gray furball, and a red fish swimming in the water in mid-air all looked down.
Even though the water flow has now dispersed most of the red mist in the crack, the bottom of the dark crack is still invisible when looking down from above, which is somewhat eerie.
"storehouse."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of Xiao Jiu turned completely black, and a bunch of small white and purple flowers floated in the air a meter away from him.
Xiao Jiu raised her hand, and the flowers seemed to be attracted, floating down from the air one after another.
Xiao Jiu counted: "One, one, one."
He withdrew his hand, grabbed the three spirit-transformed morning glories, and left the warehouse.
Following the instructions of the system in his mind, Xiao Jiu waved his hand and threw the three morning glory plants into the crack, then said "synthesize," and... that was it.
The pupils of the flounder trembled.
that's all?
System: [Wait a bit, it'll be quick.]
None of the dazzling golden light, colorful radiance, and thunderous roar I had imagined were present.
Even when Henggongyu began to doubt whether his five senses were malfunctioning, the system suddenly wrote: 【All done.】
Henggongyu: ......
Okay.
The system can only control the red mist to condense into patterns, and the blood mist is completely incompatible with the water flow from the Moon Spring. Therefore, the system cannot use the mist to point the way to the crack that is almost completely flooded.
The flounder blew another bubble at them, then flicked its tail and vanished from their sight in a flash.
Fish are all nearsighted. The horizontal barb only has decent vision when it is in human form. Now it can only rely on its keen hearing to swim with the current in the increasingly less visible cracks.
Suddenly, he heard a commotion from above.
The flounder flicked its tail in confusion and changed direction, keeping itself still in the current.
Just as he was considering whether to swim back to see what had happened, the water around him suddenly rippled strangely.
Something is coming.
The entire fish became tense; if it had any hair, it would have definitely turned into a ball.
The strange gurgling sound in the water grew closer and closer, and the Horizontal Fish instinctively knew that the thing approaching him was definitely much larger than him.
What could it be? An enemy that has been lurking deep within? An unknown creature that has broken through the spatial passage and entered this place?
The flounder's fins began to thrash wildly. It wanted to escape, but it was also preoccupied with its mission. It was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Splash—"
We're closer now.
Henggongyu hardened his heart, turned around, and rushed deeper into the area.
He must find the medicine!
However, it was as if the thing could see him, and it chased after him again. Henggongyu could even feel it was just an arm's length behind him.
Just as he was about to charge forward, the thing suddenly disappeared.
Henggongyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know much about the situation inside the spatial rift, nor did he have any knowledge inheritance like those powerful demonic beasts, nor did he have the wisdom talent to understand things instantly. The only thing he could do was to find things for Xiao Jiu and the others who couldn't move freely in the water.
No matter what might appear in that crack or how dangerous it might be, he would not back down.
The flounder flicked its tail and, with the help of the current, lurched forward a little further.
Just as he was carefully discerning the sounds in the water and seemed to have finally discovered something different, an object appeared in front of him as if out of thin air.
The current was too fast, and the thing was following the momentum of another current. The two collided, and the Horizontal Fish didn't even have time to react before the unidentified object was right in front of him.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle".
The flounder was startled by the commotion.
Xiao Jiu!?
If he had hands, he would definitely cover his head and shout: How could Xiao Jiu be here!
However, he didn't have time to react. The next second, Henggongyu felt himself stick to something cold and was swept away by the huge stream of water. Because of the speed, he was almost welded to Xiaojiu behind him.
It took the flounder several seconds to react.
Fortunately, he had heard about zombies from the system before, so he knew that Xiao Jiu wouldn't drown even if she couldn't swim, so he wasn't too panicked.
He tried to move his tail to get off Xiao Jiu, but his strength was no match for the force of the water flow, and he was slammed back, his scales making a dull thud against the other's skin.
Henggongyu quickly apologized, but all he did was spit out a series of bubbles that covered Xiao Jiu's face.
But taking this opportunity, Xiao Jiu finally managed to utter a normal syllable: "Help!"
The flounder was stunned.
At that moment, the fish's advantage in the water made him instantly notice the abnormality.
He didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Jiu, he just swung his tail and slapped it to the left, which happened to hit Xiao Jiu's forearm.
The instant they were carried to a certain position by the current, the jackfish used all its strength to leap out, and as expected, it crashed into a hard object after taking off.
The hard object happened to be stuck on a protrusion in the crack, and it lost its balance when it was hit.
It was too dark here. Henggongyu could only hear the scraping sound of a hard object about to fall. He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Another strange impact sound rang out, and the flounder had just twisted its body when it crashed into another stream of water.
The water flow was extremely fast, and the horizontal fish was dizzy from the turbulence. However, as the sunlight gradually appeared, the red fish suddenly transformed in the water, its body elongating, and it became a creature with half a boy and half a fish tail.
He couldn't breathe underwater in that state and immediately choked on the water.
The current was too strong, and he couldn't break free at all.
Just as his face turned blue and he was about to faint, a small, cold hand grabbed him.
The hand was small, but very strong. The flounder felt a dizzying sensation and then fell onto the soft white sand.
A ray of golden sunlight shone down through the gap created by the water flow, landing perfectly on the small child.
The spatial rift was desolate and bizarre, with white sand covering the ground, red mist filling the sky, and blue water flowing uncontrollably, creating utter chaos.
But when Heng Gongyu looked at Xiao Jiu running towards him, and saw those obsidian-like eyes, he felt that this was probably the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
Henggongyu revealed an extremely gentle smile.
He has decided on his name.
