Is it normal for zombies with the same energy system as those in Chapter 33?
This round of morning glories is still spiritualized.
Although the price will be a little lower, the advantage of the Spirit Flower is that it is durable, so Taotie also came to help dig up the flower.
Unsurprisingly, all 50 Spirit Morning Glory plants were of perfect quality.
The system told Xiao Jiu to sell one plant first to see the price.
[Sale successful, 300 points awarded, 13400 points remaining]
[Only 300.]
After the system finished speaking, it suddenly remembered how it was overjoyed when it discovered that the mutated morning glory could sell for 100 points. It couldn't help but sigh that it was really getting a bit arrogant now.
When asked what to do with the harvested flowers, the system suggested not selling them for now.
After all, both Suanni and Qianchuan had used the Spirit Transformation of the Ox before, so who knows who might need it later.
Since the Spirit Flower has a long shelf life, it can be stored in the warehouse first. They still have some points left, so they can just sell them off later, timing it according to the storage period.
If we rush to sell now, it will be troublesome if the spirit-transformed ox doesn't emerge later.
Everyone agreed with the system's idea, and once the system saw that the situation had stabilized, the points were accumulated, and the data was sufficient, it immediately returned to the rift to conduct data analysis.
If the patterns of the spirit-transformed and alienated flowers can be found, it will be much easier for them to plant flowers in the future.
While waiting for the system results, Fu Yu wanted to try eating the spirit-transformed morning glory raw to speed up his recovery, but when he found that the flower tasted bitter and he couldn't chew out any spiritual energy, his expression became as bitter as the flower.
Qianchuan comforted him, "Don't worry, you'll recover eventually."
Fu Yu responded softly and said nothing more.
The system analysis took a while; it hadn't returned yet when Suanni woke up.
The brown-furred kitten jumped three feet high the moment it opened its eyes. Its fur bristled, and it stared at Xiao Jiu with wide eyes: "What are you doing here?"
Fu Yu was already holding back his anger, and when he heard Suanni's words, he became even more displeased: "Now you're complaining? You were clinging to Xiao Jiu the whole time while you were unconscious, and you even bit us when we tried to get you off."
Suanni: "Impossible!"
Fu Yu glared at him angrily: "If you don't believe me, just wait for the system to come back and play the recording!"
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a cloud of red mist condensed.
Oh? You're awake?
The Suanni turned its head away uncomfortably: "...Hmm."
The system assumed the Suanni was still half asleep and didn't pay attention to his strange attitude. It continued writing: "[The analysis results are in. The pattern of the appearance of Spiritualized Flowers and Alienated Flowers is—]"
There is no pattern.
Non-humans: ?
The system explained that it initially thought there was a problem with the result, so it repeated the calculation several times, which is why it took so long.
No matter how it calculates, the result remains the same: the spiritualization and transformation of the flower are completely random.
Qian Chuan rested his chin on his index finger and asked, "So, you can only tell which one it is the moment it blooms?"
【Yes. 】
But that's where the trouble lies.
The Spirit Flower is alright, even its buffs are mostly positive, but the Mutant Flower is really torturous.
Last time, the sunflower, which was only a level 2 crop, had such a strong effect. I wonder what would happen if it were a higher-level flower or a more dangerous debuff.
Qianchuan only asked, "Is there any other information?"
System: [Yes. The levels of Spiritualized Flowers and Mutated Flowers are always the same, but their levels may not match the level of the seed itself.]
For example, the seeds of morning glories and sunflowers are both level 1, but the sunflower seeds jump directly to level 2 after being planted.
Besides that, there's the issue of flower level and buffs.
In summary, there are three points: first, level 1 crops will never have any buffs; second, crops above level 1 do not all have buffs, and may simply be of a higher level.
Finally, once a buff is applied, the price of a crop will increase several times over.
Looking at each of these points one by one, to put it bluntly, every time a new variety of flower is introduced, it's purely a gamble.
They not only gamble on whether the flower will be a spiritualized flower or a mutated flower, but also on whether the flower will have a buff, and what the specific effect of that buff will be.
Overall, the outcome was completely unpredictable.
At this point, the system felt extremely guilty.
All systems exist to bring convenience and pleasure to their hosts, but now, it can't even guarantee the safety of its own host and its pet.
[Host, we—]
It was thinking that maybe it should just stick to planting pansies from now on. Although it's a bit slow to accumulate points, at least this variety is easy to grow and safe.
Before he could finish speaking, the entire spatial rift suddenly trembled.
Fuyu suddenly stared at a certain spot and exclaimed in surprise, "What's that?"
Everyone turned around at the same time.
Not far away, a snow-white branch was emitting faint fluorescent light, like a dream.
The broken branch of the Fairy Mother Tree was entirely white; apart from its unusual color, it had previously looked no different from any other branch.
Even from a distance, they could see the tree branch stretching upwards like a piece of maltose being pulled up, making a circle every time it extended a short distance.
Even more amazing is the "Moon Spring".
Previously, the Moon Spring would only continuously emit blue light, which would then be converted into water by a kind of light wave energy. This process was spontaneous, uncontrollable, and extremely violent.
But now, the overall feel of that bead has become softer.
It released only a stream of water, about the thickness of a wrist, that flowed down from mid-air, landing precisely above the branches of the Elf Mother Tree.
The water was no longer that strange blue color, but was pure and transparent, just like ordinary water.
However, when it lands on the branches of the Fairy Mother Tree, it occasionally splashes out a few round water droplets, which have a pearly luster and even retain their round shape for a while when they fall into the soil.
It looks just like a real pearl.
The red mist was everywhere in the space, and the only thing that could be pushed aside was the blue water flowing from the Moon Spring.
Theoretically, now that the blue water flow is gone, the red mist should return to its original location, but the reality is quite the opposite.
With the location of the Elf Mother Tree's branch as the center, there is not a trace of red mist within a three-meter radius, and this range is gradually expanding.
Fuyu is the youngest and has the lowest cultivation level among the demon beasts. His tolerance for the red mist is much lower than that of Suanni Qianchuan.
Since all the blue water that had been floating in the air had disappeared, the red mist spread again, and Fu Yu soon felt nauseous.
He frowned deeply, trying to hide his discomfort.
But suddenly, he froze.
"Huh?" He looked down at his hand in surprise, then touched his tail, a look of astonishment on his face.
Xiao Jiu noticed his movement and quickly moved closer to ask, "Ayu? Does it hurt?"
Fu Yu quickly shook his head, saying he was fine, but then, under Xiao Jiu's gaze, he gradually gave in and admitted, "I do feel a little uncomfortable. I don't know how to describe it, it's like... it's like..."
He frowned and thought for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "It feels like being soaked in boiling water!"
Fu Yu was completely unaware of how strange the content of his words was, while Xiao Jiu, after hearing the word "water," just looked around blankly, and when she didn't see water, she tilted her head in confusion.
Fu Yu felt both soft-hearted and heartbroken.
He didn't bother to examine the changes in his own body, and simply said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu will understand in the future. Just eat well and you'll know when you grow up."
Xiao Jiu blinked: "Eat, grow, and, Ayu?"
Fu Yu had basically gotten used to Xiao Jiu's way of speaking, and her expression softened as soon as she heard it: "Yes, Xiao Jiu told me to eat properly before, so Xiao Jiu has to do the same as me."
Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, same as above!"
Looking at Xiao Jiu, who was staring at him with a pair of dark eyes, Fu Yu couldn't resist after holding back for a long time. He reached out and gently patted Xiao Jiu's head.
He smiled and said, "Mm."
While Xiao Jiu and Fu Yu were gazing tenderly at each other, just a few steps away, the system was engaged in a fierce verbal battle with the Suanni.
"Huh? Didn't you already have points?"
[You really have no idea how much energy is needed to construct a space; your current points are far from enough.]
"Where's that shop that can conjure things out of thin air? Doesn't it sell those items?"
[I'm a garden system! A garden! Which garden requires purchasing space walls?!]
Suanni: "Here, this one."
system:......
It was unable to refute it.
The energy system to which the "tree branch of the Elf Mother Tree" belongs is different from what Suanni knows, so Suanni had asked the system beforehand about the tree branch and the spring.
The system wasn't sure either, but since it still had points, it started scanning immediately.
But little did they know, the scan results only revealed the importance of the Elven Mother Tree to the Elven race and the synthesis path of the Moon Spring.
Not only did it provide no useful information, it also caused a huge problem.
Immediately after being scanned by the system, the energy in the entire space seemed to be activated, becoming active and full of impact.
The aura emanating from the branches of the Elf Mother Tree and the red mist were completely at odds, each wanting to destroy and assimilate the other.
If left unchecked, an energy explosion will inevitably occur at the intersection of the two forces, which will only worsen the already unstable spatial rift.
Seeing this, Suanni suggested that the system think of a way to directly separate the space near the branches of the Elf Mother Tree.
This sentence left the system bewildered.
Its immediate response was: "If I could do that, would I still be here? I would have taken the host out long ago."
The principles of separating space and building spatial channels are similar; both involve creating stable spatial walls out of thin air. This is comparable to breaking through the void and ascending to immortality in the cultivation world, and it is essentially the ultimate goal of the system.
However, Suanni said: Ascension is not difficult, it's just that you can't do it.
system:......
I'm so angry!
So the two sides started arguing again.
As they were arguing, Suanni suddenly caught sight of a gray figure.
He immediately ignored the system and craned his neck to shout, "You want to eat this too?"
About fifty meters away, next to a branch of the Elf Mother Tree, a gray ball of fur sat on the ground with its mouth wide open to the sky.
The water droplets that splashed in the air were supposed to fall onto the soil next to them, but each time they reached the air, they were caught by a strong airflow and then swallowed into that huge mouth along with the white halo emanating from the Elf Mother Tree.
Taotie looked at Suanni and roared.
Suanni was a little speechless: "You still have a lot of points now. If you want to level up faster, just ask Xiao Jiu to exchange them for grain blocks for you."
Taotie: "Awooooo, awooooo."
Suanni: "......"
The system asked curiously: [What did he say?]
Suanni: "He said the previous blue spring water was spicy and tasted amazing, but the current water droplets are a bit too sweet. However, it can still be served as a dessert before meals. He will eat the milder grains after he gets tired of the previous ones."
system:......
The system once again felt the pressure of its points being about to be cleared.
It was just about to suggest to its host that they plant pansies in the four empty fields beforehand, when its gaze shifted and it came into view of Qianchuan's face.
Qian Chuan looked completely bewildered: "System, Xiao Jiu is a zombie, right?"
【yes. 】
Qianchuan: "Is that normal for zombies?"
Following the direction Qian Chuan pointed, the system saw that Xiao Jiu was enveloped in red mist, with wisps of red mist intertwining and swirling, forming a sphere.
It looks like a cocoon.
Xiao Jiu absorbed the blood mist dozens of times faster than before.
The blood mist that was originally struggling against the branches of the Elf Mother Tree in the space now rushed into the sphere like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. Because the flow rate was too fast, the red mist above the sphere was broken, revealing the phantom of the giant sun that had been hidden for a long time.
The golden-red sunlight shone directly on the blood sphere, and a blurry human figure could be vaguely seen inside. Something was constantly gushing out from around that figure.
It's Xiao Jiu smoking again.
The system was about to say that normal zombies don't behave like this, but Xiao Jiu's behavior is quite normal.
As soon as they started writing, a strong energy fluctuation came from above their heads.
Qian Chuan frowned subconsciously at the aura, then his eyes widened: "Heavenly Tribulation Lightning!?"
Cultivators face tribulation trials whenever they reach a major realm, but these tribulations vary.
Generally speaking, the lightning tribulations are the most ferocious for beast cultivators, followed by those for human cultivators, while those for flowers, plants, and spiritual trees are relatively mild.
Of all the tribulations of lightning, the most dangerous one is known as "divine punishment."
The lightning of Heavenly Punishment is bright red and dazzling. Even a bolt of lightning as thick as a thumb has the power of a tribulation lightning for a human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. However, danger is accompanied by opportunity, and its effect on tempering the body and widening the meridians is also top-notch.
The prerequisite for enjoying these benefits is that the demon beast undergoing tribulation survives.
Qianchuan knew that this heavenly tribulation wasn't for him, so he quickly asked, "Who is undergoing this tribulation? Taotie?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sunlight brought by the phantom of the giant sun was instantly blocked by thunderclouds until it could not be seen at all.
Red light flashed in the thunderclouds, and lightning bolts, like snakes, darted through the dark clouds. The air became heavy and viscous, as if it would crush one's lungs.
It's Xiao Jiu.
Qianchuan: ?
Even zombies from another world have to undergo tribulations?
But before he could ask, he suddenly remembered something: "Where is Fuyu?"
He remembered that Fuyu and Xiaojiu had been together just now. If they had gotten involved, Fuyu's current physical condition wouldn't have been able to hold on!
A voice interrupted his anxiety: "This."
Suanni spat the red fish into Qianchuan's hand, while complaining to Fuyu: "The habits of you Henggong fish are too bizarre, aren't they? It's just a clap of thunder, it's not even night yet, and it can suddenly turn into a fish."
Qianchuan had just left to collect some Moon Spring water, which Fuyu was now able to use.
As soon as Fuyu got water, he started frantically blowing bubbles in Xiaojiu's direction. Even though he couldn't make a sound, you could tell how anxious he was.
As for Qianchuan, he had already disappeared.
Suanni knew perfectly well that the system must have gone to Xiao Jiu a long time ago, and Xiao Jiu was not afraid of the lightning tribulation. No matter how much lightning struck, she would be fine. It was estimated that by the time Qian Chuan arrived, Xiao Jiu would have already passed the tribulation.
The Suanni found it hilarious to see Fuyu so flustered that his tail was practically cramping.
He was just about to deliberately scare the silly fish with a little mystery when his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Suanni suddenly turned its head and saw that a thundercloud had also gathered above the branches of the Elf Mother Tree.
The glutton, who had been eating the "sugar beads" for a while, was now using its two hind legs to support itself on the ground and its tiny, twig-like claws to pry into the air.
It was as if an invisible wall had suddenly appeared, trapping the Taotie inside and preventing it from leaving.
The Suanni roared, "Is the Heavenly Dao insane?! It even has to interfere with the trees of another world?!"
