Chapter 138: Alfalfa Flower Ball
Originally, Xilutiya planned to go to the Association in White Stone Fortress to inquire about the best method for advancing at the Second Order, while also planning her Third Order class, so she could prepare during the Second Order.
Fate Cards, during each advancement, will gain different ability effects depending on the advancement method.
For example, at First Order, if she chose to advance with Swan Orchid, she would gain the effect of Swan Orchid purifying the environment, whereas choosing Dew Prayer Method for advancement would grant the ‘Natural Perception’ effect.
This is a relatively important new ability acquisition method, so many people are relatively cautious during advancement.
However, things always develop with many surprises, just like Xilutiya did not anticipate that Alfalfa would grow so smoothly, and the vast Alfalfa Sea of Flowers, with the condensed patches of ‘First Order·Emerald Honey’ Alfalfa Purple Flowers, brought enormous feedback, making it impossible for Xilutiya to suppress her realm even if she wanted to; she was directly elevated to Second Order rank by these blooming Alfalfa Purple Flowers, and even the various effect abilities in her Fate Card received enhancements, with even ‘Flower Blooming Technique’ resonating in the process and directly advancing one stage.
After it ended, she stood in front of this Sea of Flowers, her mood complex, feeling both the joy of advancement and a bit of helplessness, but fortunately she was not the type to dwell on things, and after a short while, she gradually accepted the current situation.
Whatever, just like this, Alfalfa is not bad at all, and even advancing through this Threefold Law trial is better than ordinary methods, with a more solid foundation.
There are many methods to elevate Nature Phase Order, and the weakest foundation is ‘Granted Elevation’, which is nobles using their own royal rank to grant identity to others, thereby elevating their rank.
Advancing in this way makes power feel like it is borrowed, but the benefit is that even if talent is poor, as long as one can bear the power of ‘Castle’ Nature, the rank can be stably elevated.
The most common advancement method is then ‘Accumulative Advancement’, which roughly involves studying and improving various abilities of the same Nature, and under the enhancement of multiple same-Nature 【Ability Cards】, elevating the central Fate Card’s rank.
Other advancement methods include roughly ‘Spiritual Medicine Enhancement’, ‘Ritual Elevation’, and ‘Threefold Trial’, etc.
The ability effects gained from ‘Threefold Trial’ advancement are related to the trial’s content; for example, this time Xilutiya advanced due to cultivating ‘Alfalfa’, so the ability effect gained is strongly associated with Alfalfa.
Once the 【Emerald Honey】 Nature inside her body stabilized again, Xilutiya began testing her several newly elevated abilities.
First is 【Discernment Eyes Lv.4】: Originating from special talent and physique, you can discern four layers of colors that ordinary people cannot perceive, as well as parts of the essence of things.
She focused her attention on her own eyes, looking down at the purple Sea of Flowers below, and a completely different perception appeared before her eyes.
If life before was like viewing things at 1080 resolution, now it directly rose to 4K resolution; what appears as the same red to others can be further divided into four different variations in Xilutiya’s eyes, with these differences coming from multiple deviations in structural light, reflection, air medium, and pigment aggregation degree.
Now she could divide the Alfalfa Purple Flowers below, which seem nearly identical, into 473 types based on color shades, all clear at a glance; if this ability is used in painting, potion making, or observation and analysis, it would provide extremely powerful boosts to skills.
However, this ability effect is not without defects; this time, after using it for a while, Xilutiya felt a slight accumulation of fatigue.
It seems her mental power is insufficient to support routine maintenance of this ability; she can probably only use it for about one hour a day, but if she reduces energy consumption and casts it at the previous 【Discernment Eyes Lv.2】 level, she can now maintain that state at every moment.
Phew…
Xilutiya closed her eyes, relaxed a bit, then opened them again, her light blue eyes returning to their normal state.
It seems she needs to learn a Meditation Method afterward to elevate her mental power, otherwise many abilities cannot be maintained for long periods.
Next, she tested 【Natural Perception Lv.3】, which was already very close to the state of ‘Emerald Pupil’ potion; if she dripped in ‘Emerald Pupil’ potion again, the two would stack with each other, making the effect even stronger.
Besides enhancements in plant cultivation, now she could clearly hear the snoring from Toad Sub-humans sleeping in their small houses six hundred meters away.
Used for reconnaissance and vigilance, it is also a very good ability, the maiden thought.
Finally, it was the brand-new ability gained from this advancement.
【Alfalfa Purple Flower Lv.3】: You can control Alfalfa in the surrounding environment, making it grow, bloom, and seed quickly according to your will, and spontaneously adjust its state to approach perfect quality.
She sank her consciousness into the perception of this new ability, and in an instant, it was as if she established a shared perception link with the Alfalfa Sea of Flowers below.
The soil where Alfalfa grows, the breeze brushing over the grass blades, the ants and insects crawling in the soil below, the dark depths of the root system; finally, her consciousness followed the Alfalfa roots and spread, perceiving the soil conditions dozens of meters underground in this valley, even unearthing some ancient relic bones.
A faint purple appeared in her eyes, Xilutiya raised her hand, and the excess branches and dead leaves in this Alfalfa Sea of Flowers spontaneously broke off, detached with the summer wind, and the Alfalfa along the way twisted their stems and leaves to let these detached dead leaves and branches pass through, then drifted out of the field.
This made the Sea of Flowers below even neater, with more efficient use of nutrients and energy; in the future, she wouldn’t even need the Toad People’s help, and could simply walk through this Alfalfa Sea of Flowers to make them spontaneously adjust, gradually approaching the ‘perfect’ quality stage.
Such an effect ability made Xilutiya inevitably think of Madam Fran; speculating like this, Madam Fran back then probably also advanced successfully through the trial of planting and cultivating ‘Sunflower’, gaining the ability to control a ‘Sunflower’ Sea of Flowers.
Afterward, Xilutiya spread her arms and lightly leaped over the Grassland on the Mountain Slope, running toward the purple Sea of Flowers below.
Under her influence, many purple and white Flower Petals rose with the wind, then continuously gathered and condensed under the guidance of Emerald Honey Nature.
Soon, six beautiful flower balls condensed from Alfalfa Purple Flowers slowly landed in front of Xilutiya.
【Alfalfa Flower Ball】（First Order·Emerald Honey）: Beautiful flower balls formed by gathering Alfalfa Flower Petals and refining their own effects, which can be fed to favored animals to promote better Growth.（Promotes animal physique Growth, as well as Nature condensation）
Looking at the fist-sized purple flower balls in her hand, she sniffed the faint fragrance they emitted, feeling a bit curious.
It says for animals, but can people eat it?
From the literal effect, it seems a bit like an enhanced version of 【Blood Wine】, she guessed in her heart, but uncertain, still needing to test on animals or other creatures.
At this thought, the maiden looked at the nearby Stable, and the row of Toad People small houses on the opposite Mountain Slope, having an idea in mind.
