Cornflower Witch

Chapter 135 The Revelation of the Triad Law

As the mountain breeze blows, the wheat in the valley gradually enters the heading stage.

The once simple fields are now paved with neat and crisscrossing paths. Hiltiya, wearing a sun hat and a light cloth skirt, walks among them. The wheat here has grown up to her waist, lush and green.

Her eyes blinked, and the emerald spectrum stretched across her field of vision, informing her of the current growth status of these crops, occasionally jotting down some useful details.

('Gardening Skills - Wheat Branch' Proficiency +12)
The reclamation, planting, and cultivation during this period, along with a series of large-scale practices, have given Hilti a new understanding and knowledge of many details of horticulture. She has now reached [Horticulture Skills Lv.6], but further advancement has become very difficult, and she can only break through from the detailed branches within it.

It seems that after raising her 'Gardening Skills' to Lv.6, she will face the process of moving from broad knowledge to mastery. She must cultivate 10 kinds of plants to perfect quality in order to further improve this skill.

[Horticulture Skills - Wheat Branch (Excellent)]: At present, you can easily cultivate wheat to excellent quality, as easily as drinking water from a cup. (Progress 289/300)

Continuing through the fields, Hilti crouched down in a dense wheat thicket, her fingers lightly touching the soil to sense what lay beneath.

The 'twisting' that was purified and dispelled a month ago is gradually spreading upwards again. In about 30 days, it will slowly affect the plants on the ground. If left unattended, the initial weak effects will gradually deepen until, after another month, it will return to the original state before the arrival of Hiltiya in the valley.

Farming here is no easy task. Hilti even suspects that of the three options given, coming to the Radiant Plains might not have been the easiest one.

Perhaps they were overconfident, but most trainees chose to complete the task in the fields around the fortress. Although the rewards and evaluations were not high, the difficulty was indeed very low.

Standing up, the girl brushed the dirt off her clothes, smelled the faint fragrance of grass and trees from the lush plants in the field, and took a slow step forward.

('Gardening Skills - Wheat Branch' Proficiency +15)
After another review and analysis, her understanding of wheat cultivation has continued to improve, and she has now entered the next stage.

[Horticultural Skills - Wheat Branch (Excellent)]: You can currently cultivate wheat to an excellent quality. (Progress 4/600)

However, once you reach the Excellent stage, it's not as easy as the Outstanding stage. Hilti felt that it was time to take out the accumulated Dewdrops and use them.

In the hands of horticulturists, 'Green Dew Water' is not only a catalyst for plant growth, but also a useful tool for them to actively regulate plant growth, allowing plants to better absorb nutrients from the soil and water, and replenishing the gradually developing 'Green Honey' properties.

In the absence of sufficient fertilizer, she can only use dewdrops as a substitute for fertilizer, allowing the crops to actively absorb more nutrients. As for the side effects, the next time the soil fertility is too low, wheat cannot be planted, and legumes will need to be planted instead to supplement the fertility.

As for why legumes were chosen, it's because many legumes have the ability to fix nitrogen, converting nitrogen in the air into nitrogen elements that plants can use, which is equivalent to natural fertilizer.

Although she didn't know exactly how the laws of this world worked, Hilti discovered from the books she had read that there were similar practices here. Maester Hyde had also mentioned that farmland must be rotated to maintain its fertility.

Among legumes, common ones like soybeans, peanuts, and peas have similar effects. Other forage grasses include milkvetch, commonly used in rice paddies, and alfalfa, used in barren pastures.

Judging from the appearance of this land, she would probably find it much easier to choose 'alfalfa', because planting soybeans takes a long time and requires a lot of water for irrigation, and there is only one well in the valley, which cannot meet such a huge irrigation demand.

Alfalfa has a deep root system that allows it to actively absorb groundwater, thus reducing its reliance on irrigation. Before she knew it, she had already begun planning the next phase. This sense of control over the present and the future gave Hilti a strange sense of security and fulfillment.

Everything was in perfect order, everything was progressing steadily, as if order was gradually emerging from the invisible chaos, becoming neat, beautiful, and efficient.

In a daze, she felt an invisible path unfold before her, causing the hidden starlight within her destiny card to emerge.

Strange, why does she feel that her [Alien] rank is inclined to advance at this time? Isn't it supposed to advance by following other sex types?

Hilti returned to her hut and carefully meditated and observed her own condition. She discovered that the previously hidden 'alien star' had begun to appear. Faint outlines even emerged in the night sky on the card, as if they were star patterns that had not yet been drawn.

Savoring the feeling, Hilti decided to be cautious and wait for [Emerald] to catch up before making a decision.

During this period, due to her continuous participation in a large amount of horticultural practice, she vaguely achieved a balance of the 'three-phase law', which greatly improved the [Emerald Honey] attribute. If judged by data, when she successfully cultivated the Swan Orchid last year, the strength of the 'Emerald Honey' attribute was around 1, and during the battle with Iona during the assessment, it reached around 5-6.

In the past six months, although no new abilities have been added, due to extensive participation in farming, planting, and cultivation, the [Emerald Honey] attribute has been gradually increasing under the influence of the Three-Phase Law, reaching around 8.9 at present.

She had a premonition that if she reached a score of 9 or higher, she could try to advance to the 'Second Tier: Emerald Honey' stage. As for the current [Alien] stage, she felt that its sexual intensity had reached around 9.8, almost overflowing. In other words, the first-tier Destiny Card was gradually unable to restrain this powerful sexual force.

As for what the three phases are, they are power (resources), skills (knowledge), and practice (trials).

The Triad Law is the truth and balance of this world.

For example, if you want to become a knight, even if you have a strong body and strength, noble character and fighting skills, you still cannot become a model knight if you only work in the fields. Only when you pick up a sword and participate in battle with virtue and skill, whether it is to conquer, protect, or fight for justice, can you finally pass the trial and become a true knight.

Or perhaps you are a pharmacist with access to materials, naturally dexterous hands, knowledge of herbal blending, and precise control skills. But if you have never prepared this kind of medicine, it doesn't mean you know how. Only by practicing and actually preparing this medicine can you say you have mastered this ability.

This is how the Three-Phase Law manifests in various fields. If you follow its principles, you can gain tremendous benefits in your advancement.

However, the application of the 'Three-Phase Law' goes far beyond this. When Madame Fran taught her the Flower Blooming Technique, she specifically emphasized that the final power of the Flower Blooming Technique also comes from the 'Three-Phase Law', namely her own 'Emerald Honey' rank (representing power), the strength of the Flower Blooming Technique ability (representing skill), and the strength and type of the flowers chosen (representing practice).

The sum of these three factors determines the final power, meaning that adding any one of them will increase the final power.

At this moment, the "Alien" inexplicably gains a power-up. Does this mean that some of her accidental actions align with the concept and characteristics of the "Alien"?

According to current scholars' summaries, 'alien planets' are explorations and revelations from other worlds, and ineffable knowledge and phenomena.

Does her use of her past life's knowledge and experience fit the concept of an alien world, or does it have a deeper meaning related to the origin of her talent?
