Chapter 1452

But thinking about it, the time in the myriad heavens battlefield is calculated according to the real world, and twelve hours is already quite long.

Translation: "But thinking about it, that makes sense—the time in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is calculated according to the real world, and twelve hours is already quite a while."

We need to keep it concise, single line.

For the vast number of ordinary people in the universe who need to work and live, spending twelve hours a day playing games is already considered very dedicated; even if they had more time, they would still be busy with other things and couldn't just focus on cultivation.

Translation: "For the vast number of ordinary people in the universe who need to work and live, spending twelve hours a day gaming is already considered very dedicated; even if they had more time, they'd have other things to attend to and couldn't just focus on cultivation."

This time limit is set to prevent extraordinary beings who don't need to eat or drink from widening the gap too much over ordinary players.

Translation: "This time limit is set to prevent those extraordinary beings who don't need to eat or drink from widening the gap too much over ordinary players."

Although Xiao Feng was a bit depressed, it was still understandable.

Translation: "Xiao Feng felt a bit gloomy, but he could still understand."

"Go patrol Hundred Flowers Valley; if there's nothing going on, just log off and take a look."

Translation: "\"Go patrol Hundred Flowers Valley; if there's nothing, just log off and check. \""

Now that a new year has just ended, he hasn't logged off in a long time and is also curious about how the year-end settlement in the Elemental Divine Realm works.

Translation: "He had just finished a new year, hadn't logged off in a long time, and was also curious about how the year-end settlement in Yuan Su Shen Yu worked."

Xiao Feng took Bai Bai, pulled out the Void Umbrella, and used its teleport function toward Hundred Flowers Valley.

Translation: "Xiao Feng took Da Bai, pulled out the Void Umbrella, and used its teleport function toward Hundred Flowers Valley."

The Void Umbrella distorted space, pulling him and Bai Bai inside, and when they reappeared they were in a deep, long valley.

Translation: "The Void Umbrella distorted space, pulling him and Da Bai inside; when they reappeared, they were already in a deep, elongated valley."

Hundred Flowers Valley is quite large; as one of the medicinal fields of the Butterfly Imperial Palace's forces, this valley is over eighty kilometers long, up to nearly three kilometers wide at its broadest point, and even its narrowest parts are several hundred meters wide.

Translation: "Hundred Flowers Valley is vast; as one of the medicinal fields of the Butterfly Emperor Palace's forces, this valley is over eighty kilometers long, nearly three kilometers wide at its broadest, and even its narrowest parts are several hundred meters."

The mountains on either side of the valley aren't very high, allowing sunlight to shine down nicely.

Translation: "The mountains on either side of the valley aren't very high, so sunlight can shine down well."

The entire valley is covered with flowers of various colors.

Translation: "The entire valley is covered with flowers of all kinds."

Of course, these flowers are still somewhat different from the Hundred Flowers that Xiao Feng remembers.

Translation: "Of course, these flowers are still somewhat different from what Xiao Feng imagined."

These flowers aren't ordinary; they are heavenly earthly essences, not only beautiful but also potent in effect.

Translation: "These aren't ordinary flowers; they are all spiritual essences of heaven and earth, not only beautiful but also potent."

Some of them are even on the verge of becoming spirits!

Translation: "Some of them are practically on the verge of becoming spirits!"

Xiao Feng examined a few different flowers up close.

Translation: "Xiao Feng nearby examined a few different flowers."

【Celestial Dew Moon Rose (Mature)】: Tier 4 spirit essence, usable for crafting potions; direct consumption boosts healing power by 50% and auto-recovery effect by 100%.

Translation: "【Immortal Dew Moon Rose (Mature)】: 4th-grade Spiritual Essence, usable for concocting potions; direct consumption boosts healing power by 50% and automatic recovery effect by 100%."

【Scarlet Phoenix Tail Flower (Immature)】: Tier 5 spirit essence, usable for crafting potions and creating supreme treasures; when mature, picking and consuming it once increases fire-element comprehension value by 20 points.

Translation: "【Crimson Phoenix Tail Flower (Immature)】: 5th-grade Spiritual Essence, usable for concocting potions and crafting Supreme Treasures; after maturity, picking and consuming it can instantly increase Fire-element Comprehension Value by 20 points."

【Luxuriant Fairy Essence (Immature)】: Tier 5 spirit essence, usable for crafting potions and making jewelry-part equipment; when mature, picking and consuming it permanently raises the health cap by 2,000,000 (higher-tier effects of the same type override lower-tier ones).

Translation: "【Luxuriant Fairy Essence (Immature)】: 5th-grade Spiritual Essence, usable for concocting potions and crafting jewelry-slot equipment; after maturity, picking and consuming it permanently raises the health cap by 2,000,000 (higher-tier effects of the same type override lower-tier ones)."

Most of the flower essences are still immature; even if the flowers have bloomed, they aren't necessarily ready to be picked, depending on their medicinal properties.

Translation: "Most of the flower essences are still immature; even if the flowers have bloomed, they aren't necessarily harvestable—it depends on their medicinal properties."

Because some essences are consumed via petals, some via stamens, and others require pulling up the whole plant for medicine, if one isn't knowledgeable, random picking can easily waste these natural treasures.

Translation: "Because some essences are eaten from petals, some from stamens, and some even require uprooting the whole plant for medicine, if one isn't knowledgeable, randomly picking them can easily waste natural treasures."

"I wonder how long it will be before Senior Cai Yi comes again; these mature essences have been left unpicked, and it would be a shame if they withered," Xiao Feng thought to himself.

Translation: "\"I wonder how long it will be before Senior Cai Yi comes; these mature spiritual essences have gone unpicked, and if they wither, wouldn't that be a shame? \" Xiao Feng thought to himself."

Looking at the ground full of strange flowers and herbs, he really wanted to…

Translation: "Gazing at the ground full of strange flowers and herbs, he really wanted to……"

Cough! Hold it in!

Translation: "Cough! Hold back!"

Now he's a guest, and he's been ordered to help Cai Yi patrol Hundred Flowers Valley, so he certainly can't abuse his position for personal gain!

Translation: "Now he's a guest, and moreover ordered to help Cai Yi patrol Hundred Flowers Valley—he certainly can't steal from his own post!"

"Big brother, that flower over there is huge—almost as big as me! I don't know what rare variety it is."

Translation: "\"Big brother, that flower over there is huge—almost as big as me; I don't know what rare variety it is. \""

Bai Bai suddenly said, seeing a super-large flower standing out alone a few li away.

Translation: "Da Bai suddenly said, seeing a super-large flower standing alone a few kilometers away."

"Let's go see and we'll find out," Xiao Feng said.

Translation: "\"Let's go see and we'll find out. \" Xiao Feng said."

Bai Bai flew toward that big flower.

Translation: "Da Bai flew toward that big flower."

The flower resembles a sunflower, with a large flower disk and very wide petals; its diameter is estimated to be over thirty meters.

Translation: "The flower resembled a sunflower, with a huge receptacle and very broad petals; its diameter was estimated at over thirty meters."

Upon approaching, a strong stench hit his nose, and Xiao Feng quickly held his breath.

Translation: "Upon approaching, a strong stench assaulted his nose, and Xiao Feng hastily held his breath and stopped breathing."

"How smelly! What kind of flower is this? It looks good but smells awful—it's practically a trap!" Bai Bai shouted.

Translation: "\"How smelly! What flower is this? Looks good but reeks—it's practically a trap! \" Da Bai shouted strangely."

The flower's odor lingers only within about a hundred meters around it; farther away it can't be smelled.

Translation: "The flower's scent lingers only within about a hundred meters; farther away it can't be smelled."

Only when you get close do you notice this stench, which is indeed like a trap.

Translation: "Only up close does one notice this stench, and it really is like a trap."

Xiao Feng checked its information.

Translation: "Xiao Feng checked its information."

【Malignant Rotten Sunflower (Mature)】: Tier 7 spirit essence, usable for crafting potions and setting up spell formations; after picking and consuming it, poison resistance increases by 70%, and the consumer gains the "Corpse-Eater" talent, restoring 4% of their own HP each time they kill a character.

Translation: "【Malicious Rotten Sunflower (Mature)】: 7th-grade Spiritual Essence, usable for concocting potions and setting up spell formations; after picking and consuming it, poison resistance increases by 70%, and one gains the \"Corpse-Eating\" talent, restoring 4% of one's own health with each kill of a character."

"Consume it directly… what a joke!"

Translation: "\"Consume it directly… what a joke! \"

Looking at this enormous flower that could serve as a house, he felt the system was just joking.

Translation: "Looking at this enormously huge flower that could serve as a house, he felt the system was just joking."

Although the "Corpse-Eater" talent looks quite powerful—a strong passive effect in PVP, making large team battles almost like having infinite full health.

Translation: "Although the \"Corpse-Eating\" talent looks pretty strong—a powerful passive in PVP, in large team battles it's practically infinite full health."

But who could possibly eat such a huge flower!

Translation: "But who could possibly eat such a huge flower!"

Unless it's a monstrous beast the size of a Xiezhi!

Translation: "Unless it's a savage beast the size of a Xiezhi!"

Even ignoring the size issue, who could stomach putting something that smells this bad in their mouth?

Translation: "Even ignoring the volume issue, who could stomach something that stinks?"

"This Hundred Flowers Valley is truly amazing."

Translation: "\"This Hundred Flowers Valley is truly amazing. \""

Xiao Feng felt a wave of emotion.

Translation: "Xiao Feng felt a wave of emotion."

He rode on Bai Bai's back and began patrolling Hundred Flowers Valley, checking for any flower thieves.

Translation: "He rode on Da Bai's back, began patrolling Hundred Flowers Valley, and inspected whether any flower thieves had appeared."

An eighty-kilometer-long Hundred Flowers Valley wouldn't take long to circle at Bai Bai's speed.

Translation: "With Da Bai's speed, flying around the eighty-kilometer-long Hundred Flowers Valley wouldn't take long."

Xiao Feng spread out his spiritual will as a means to supplement his perception, clearly scanning every meter of ground, hoping monsters would appear so he could gain some "cultivation" and see what effect it has.

Translation: "Xiao Feng spread out his spiritual will as a means to supplement his perception, clearly scanning every meter of ground, hoping monsters would appear so he could gain some \"Dao progress\" to see what effect it had."

Unfortunately, after making a full circuit, not only were there no flower thieves, but not even a single bee could be seen.

Translation: "Unfortunately, after making the round, not only were there no flower thieves, but not even a single bee could be seen."

It seems the Butterfly Imperial Palace's power is too overwhelming; even small fish and shrimp outside dare not come here to steal.

Translation: "It seems the Butterfly Emperor Palace's forces are too mighty; even small fish and shrimp from outside dare not come here to steal."

Xiao Feng flew back and forth three times, confirmed he couldn't find a single monster, and decided to check other areas around Hundred Flowers Valley.

Translation: "Xiao Feng flew back and forth three times, confirmed he couldn't find a single monster, and decided to check other places around Hundred Flowers Valley."

At that moment, a streak of purple light flew from the horizon and transformed into a purple butterfly.

Translation: "At that moment, a streak of purple light flew from the horizon, turning into a purple butterfly."

"Hey, isn't that Warrior Xiao Feng? I haven't seen you in half a day—what brings you to Hundred Flowers Valley?"

Translation: "\"Hey, isn't this Warrior Xiao Feng? Haven't seen you in half a day—how'd you end up in Hundred Flowers Valley? \""

The butterfly spoke in human language, with a very familiar voice.

Translation: "The butterfly spoke in a human voice, which sounded very familiar."

Before Xiao Feng could speak, her figure flickered and she transformed into a purple-clad, enchanting woman with butterfly wings on her back.

Translation: "Before Xiao Feng could speak, she flickered and transformed into a purple-clad, alluring woman with butterfly wings on her back."

It was none other than the Demon King Zixi.

Translation: "She was none other than the Demon King Zixi."

"Senior Zixi, I just received a duty from the Demon Emperor to assist Senior Cai Yi in patrolling Hundred Flowers Valley, and I'm currently checking whether any petty thieves have sneaked in," Xiao Feng replied.

Translation: "\"Senior Zixi, I just received a duty from the Demon Emperor to assist Senior Cai Yi in patrolling Hundred Flowers Valley, and I'm currently checking whether any thieves have sneaked in. \" Xiao Feng replied."

Zixi gave a light smile and said charmingly, "What a diligent young man; I happen to need to gather a few medicinal herbs—why don't you come along?"

Translation: "Zixi gave a light smile and said charmingly, \"What a diligent young man; I happen to need to gather a few medicinal herbs—why don't you come along? \""

Saying that, she flapped her wings and flew into Hundred Flowers Valley.

Translation: "Saying that, she flapped her wings and flew into Hundred Flowers Valley."

Xiao Feng and Bai Bai followed her.

Translation: "Xiao Feng and Da Bai followed her."

"Senior Zixi, how often are these spirit essences harvested around here? I see many have already matured, yet they're still left in the ground," Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

Translation: "\"Senior Zixi, how often are these spiritual essences harvested? I see many are already mature, yet they're left in the ground. \" Xiao Feng voiced a doubt."

Zixi said: "Then it depends on when everyone needs it; most heavenly earthly essence isn't that easy to wither, leaving it unharvested can continue to absorb heavenly earthly spiritual energy, improving its quality."

"Oh, I see, no wonder then." Xiao Feng realized.

Zi Xi flew into the flower patch, deftly plucking a mature fifth-rank spirit essence, then flew back and asked Xiao Feng with a smile: "Little guy, do you want any spirit essence? I can decide to give you a few."

"Actually, I don't really need anything special; I don't know how to make potions, and eating them directly would be too wasteful." Xiao Feng shook his head.

Zi Xi laughed: "If it's useful, it's not a waste. There are plenty of good things here; the Empress herself looks down on them, so we usually gather them for ourselves. Your cultivation is still low—follow me, and I'll get you some good ones!"

Saying that, she led Xiao Feng to wander around the Hundred Flowers Valley.

One, two, three...

Whenever she didn't pluck a mature spirit essence, she would toss it into Xiao Feng's arms—all of them were gifts for him.

Even the worst of these were fifth-rank quality, leaving Xiao Feng feeling overwhelmed by the favor.

A few minutes later, Xiao Feng's arms were filled with exactly ten kinds of spirit essence.

Only then was Zi Xi satisfied, saying: "That's enough; at your current stage, you can only handle this much medicinal power. Eat them all, and they'll make you stronger, tougher, and more enduring!"

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng felt awkward.

Clearly they are lovely adjectives, so why do they sound so off coming from her mouth?
