The previously planted Cornflower has been picked, and it will be about another year until the next harvest. The third-level plants are not as good as the second-level First Order. Even if there is a talent like Sylutia blessed by Fairy, it will not be able to cultivate a large number of "third-level perfect" quality Cornflower in a few months.
Many of these were planted before she left the Woodland and returned to Scorched Stone City. Now in the past year, she has just reached the "perfect" quality, and then Cornflower bloomed in Sylutia's own Autumn Garden.
Although the quality and effect of Cornflower in Courtyard is better, she is not ready to pick it, but keeps it and uses it as an emergency trump card. Just like when she faced Cult Leader of Hundred Eyes's unavoidable attack, she inspired Cornflower to strengthen Courtyard's environmental force field and block the rays that weakened the opponent.
Generally speaking, third-level horticulturists will only cultivate a large number of "second-level" plants. Although they can also cultivate "third-level" plants, it will consume a lot of energy and even delay their own Aspect Power accumulation, so they rarely do this. Only when reaching perfection or during a bottleneck period, horticulturists will consider cultivating a particularly special plant for their own breakthrough.
The new Cornflower Seed has been planted. After the breeding and careful selection of Sylutia, this batch of seeds is fuller and of better quality than before. Perhaps in a year's time, she can select the best Cornflower strains among them, try to break through, and cultivate a "fourth-level" Cornflower.
The early stage of seed germination and growth does not require much care and adjustment. Sylutia is free to start studying other plant cultivation.
She currently has no shortage of food crops, including many carrots and potatoes, which she has cultivated to the "second level" Emerald Nectar Aspect Power, so this time she plans to try other flowers and plants, such as "Black Rose" that has not yet been unlocked in Courtyard.
Take out a small amount of "Black Rose" seeds, sprinkle them in the soil and water them. Sylutia squats aside, and then patiently senses the state, and then covers the top of the soil with his fingers to stimulate the ability of [Natural Growth].
Visible to the naked eye, the seeds in the soil slowly sprout and stretch, the stems and leaves spread little by little and grow taller, and then the leaves gradually turn green and larger, and then the small buds hidden in them slowly open, revealing the elegant pure Black Rose petals.
It's really good-looking. Sylutia reminds me of Musa inexplicably. He also often wears a black dress, with a black and gold rose pinned to the neckline of the off-shoulder dress.
According to plant classification, roses and Rose are very closely related. It can even be said that roses are some kind of specialized Rose, artificially selected varieties.
When cultivating "Black Rose" and "Sylutia" for the first time, we did not rush to upgrade its Aspect Power level, but experimented with the growth and status of "Black Rose" under different environments and techniques.
After watching "Black Rose" grow from budding to blooming and then withering of fruit for about a dozen times, Sylutia mastered the basic cultivation rules of "Black Rose".
Now the formal training can begin.
She sorted out four square meters of small Experimental Garden behind her house, then planted the seeds of "Black Rose", then sprinkled them with Emerald Dew Water, began to adjust their state, and then allowed them to sprout and grow slowly.
Different from the rapid catalysis used in combat, this kind of catalysis with the help of [Natural Growth] ability in cultivation must be much more precise and meticulous, trying to let it grow up under the most suitable conditions without falling and dissipating the condensed power of Aspect Power.
Around this small piece of Experimental Garden, Sylutia began to use various abilities at their disposal.
Dew Prayer Technique·Branch Combing Technique·Fertile Soil Technique, the first is the three-piece set of abilities of the Gardener. Under their influence, "Black Rose" easily pushes up First Order and steadily approaches the second level.
It will take about two months for them to condense into "second-order" Aspect Power, Sylutia thought.
However, these "Black Rose" are quite special. They are condensed into "Dead Ember" and "Aspect Power". If given to Wizard on the path of "Dead Ember", they will probably be particularly popular.
Time is slowly coming to the end of the year, and Surface Continent is gradually arriving in winter. Although World of Shadows has no obvious difference between winter and summer, it will also be affected by the projection of the Surface Continent, causing snow and cooling.
While Sylutia was leisurely taking care of "Black Rose" to explore the possibility of new plants, Florella, who was far away at another station of the Woodland, received a gift from the Dark Mist Mountains.
"Oh, is it specially given to me?"
The blond Elf girl stood in front of the threshold of the hut and accepted the wooden box carried by the staff with a slight confusion.
Wearing a dress of green gauze and gold silk, the beautiful and slightly plump Miss Elf carefully tore off the seal, opened the box, and saw the carefully sealed carton inside.
Fingers as slender as white jade lifted up the carton. Florella saw the blue Cornflower lying horizontally, and immediately remembered the name.
"It must have been sent to me by Tia." Her voice was slightly happy.
The maid in the house was curious and saw the eldest lady standing at the door, so she came over.
"Florella-sama."
"Ah, I understand." Florella belatedly returned to the house, and the maid closed the door. Then he sat at the table in the house, put down the carton, took out the Cornflower plant that exuded a faint fragrance, and then unfolded the letter underneath.
"Long time no see, Florella
Sorry, it took me so long to write to you. Have you had a good sleep and rest recently?
A year ago, I received "Cornflower Seed" as a gift from you. I was so happy that I could hardly sleep at night. I thought it was great to have Florella as a friend.
I heard that in order to obtain this batch of seeds, you bothered your friends to send them by mail across Cloud Sea Canopy. I was particularly touched and even a little overwhelmed. It may be that I haven't received such concern for a long time. After all, I only mentioned a few words at the time and never thought that anyone would take note of it with such care.
Thank you very much Florella, it helped me a lot.
During this year, I planted a lot of Cornflower in the town, and gained a lot of insights from planting them. Later, I made a breakthrough and entered the third level.
More than half a year ago, I returned to the Surface Continent, where I met many people and experienced a lot.
Unknowingly, by the time I came back after finishing everything, more than half a year had passed. I'm sorry that I'm only now replying to you. These flower dews are extracted from the Cornflower I planted. I like their color very much, and the clear and quiet feeling. I hope Florella can like it too.
Thank you, Florella.
--Your friend, Sylutia"
At the end of the letter, the familiar signature made the Elf girl couldn't help but smile.
"Tia has advanced, it's great."
"Well, no, I have to work hard. I seem to be almost ready recently."
Putting down the letter, she saw the transparent glass tubes of toilet water arranged under the carton, and was surprised and intoxicated by the light blue gradient color inside.
"It looks so good, I like it so much~"
Holding the paper box, Florella wanted to jump up happily, but he still held it back for fear of damaging the precious gift inside.
"I will work hard too, Tia."
