Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 230 Encountering Other Teams
As soon as the Ghost Face Red Vine was removed, Chen Nan instantly felt as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, and every part of his body ached.

Moreover, the pain intensified, causing him to cry out in agony.

"Master, Anan is in so much pain." Chen Nan cried out in pain.

"Here, drink your medicine. It will stop hurting after you drink it." Ning Xuan had been looking for medicine the whole time. She took out the healing medicine she found and fed it to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan obediently took the medicine, secretly watching Ning Xuan's expression. He occasionally called out a few times. The bottle of medicine was quickly fed to him. Ning Xuan's hand lingered at Chen Nan's lips, gently wiping away the remaining medicine from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the look of heartache on Ning Xuan's face, Chen Nan suddenly turned his head and coughed lightly. He coughed only once, and then he hissed in pain. Ning Xuan saw blood seeping from the corner of his lips and hurriedly tried to wipe it, but her wrist was grabbed.

"I'm fine, Master." The young man's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at her pitifully.

Ning Xuan coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward. "It was my fault last night; I made you suffer."

Chen Nan's eyes even reddened this time. Ignoring the pain in his body, he rushed over and hugged Ning Xuan, saying, "A Nan is not wronged, A Nan is happy."

Seeing that he was genuinely happy, Ning Xuan felt a little guilty towards him.

"Take good care of your injury. Stay here until you're fully healed. Don't get out of bed. Let Lan Xin come and take care of you." Ning Xuan felt a mix of emotions when she thought of Lan Xin.

Lan Xin was suddenly involved in that incident, and she had no choice but to step in to save him. It was because of saving him that the subsequent events occurred. Therefore, Lan Xin also bears responsibility for Chen Nan's injuries.

Chen Nan was naturally happy that he could stay in Ning Xuan's cave to recuperate, but he didn't really want Lan Xin to take care of him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. But there's no need to trouble others. I can take care of myself," Chen Nan politely declined.

"You, if you say you don't need it, then you don't need it. I'll bring you some food in a bit and feed you myself, okay?" Ning Xuan had already gotten dressed and was about to go out for dinner.

"Thank you, my sworn brother." Chen Nan said with a grin.

Ning Xuan left the cave and saw Lan Xin kneeling there for an unknown amount of time outside the gate.

Lan Xin lowered his head, his long, seaweed-like blue hair cascading down in front of him, obscuring his face.

Upon hearing the door open and seeing Ning Xuan appear, Lan Xin immediately bowed and said, "This servant, Lan Xin, thanks my master for saving my life."

"Master risked his life to save me; I deserve to die," Lan Xin said, bowing respectfully and gratefully at Ning Xuan's feet.

“Your situation was indeed very dangerous yesterday, and I couldn’t just stand by and watch you die. However, you’ve also benefited from this misfortune, as your strength has improved dramatically. You’ll have opportunities to prove yourself in the future. Get up.” Ning Xuan finished speaking and walked past Lan Xin without looking down at him or offering him a helping hand.

Lan Xin obediently got up, and when they went to the restaurant to eat, she naturally knelt down next to Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan approached Lan Xin quite naturally, and although she wasn't enthusiastic, she didn't reject her either.

After breakfast, Ning Xuan took out the broken red fruit from her spatial ring. The juice of this fruit could only bewitch low-level spirit controllers or orcs.

In Ning Xuan's team, only a few spirit controllers with mental power levels of S-rank or below, such as Tang Xue, Zhang Nan, and Jiuwei, were tempted by the fruit. They couldn't resist the urge to eat it just by smelling the juice. The others, depending on their individual strength, were able to resist the temptation to varying degrees. For example, Ning Xuan, although she could smell the fruit and found it sweet, did not have a strong desire to eat it.

People of Emperor Youlin's and Qinghe's rank couldn't even smell the fragrance of the fruit.

"This thing is a real weapon of mass destruction. If we encounter gregarious creatures, we just need to throw the broken fruit into the group, and all the creatures that eat the fruit will be dealt with, right?" Tang Xue said excitedly, thinking about the feeling of wanting to rush forward without regard for anything else.

“That makes sense. Anyway, there are so many fruits on that tree. Let’s pick them all and study them carefully.” Ning Xuan was very interested in these red fruits. She felt that these fruits must have other uses.

Yun Han and a few others stayed in the tree hollow, while Ning Xuan and the others went to the tree to pick red berries. Just as they were about to finish picking, a dense barrage of arrows rained down on them.

Ning Xuan was picking a red fruit, which lay quietly in her palm, seemingly radiating an eerie, blood-red light.

"Everyone be careful, someone's attacking!" Zhang Nan's warning arrived at the same time as the sound of arrows piercing the air.

Arrows rained down, tearing through the air. Ning Xuan spun around and swung her sword, deflecting the dense barrage of arrows.

"Lin Mo, protect the barrier! The red fruits must not be damaged. Everyone else, pick all the red fruits as soon as possible." She put the fruits into her spatial ring and released countless vines that waved in front of her.

Countless vines and branches waved to deflect the arrows, and a white light curtain enveloped the large tree.

However, these arrows were not ordinary cold weapons, but were imbued with energy attacks. Countless arrows, seemingly endless, shot in from all directions, and soon the protective barrier was on the verge of collapse.

“Master, the Water Mirror Technique has been upgraded. I’ll hold them off for a while.” Lan Xin stretched out her finger and lightly drew a line in the air. The Water Mirror Technique, which was originally used to scout the situation, had now completely changed.

Ice-blue energy was released from his body, condensing into a transparent water curtain that enveloped the tree.

The rain of arrows struck the flowing ripples and seemed to freeze as if falling into a deep pool. Each arrow was enveloped by layers of water film, unable to advance or fall. Soon, the transparent water curtain was covered with arrows.

"Stop struggling, just surrender." A tall young man stepped out from the shadows and said to Lan Xin.

As he appeared, the sound of orderly footsteps rang out, and hundreds of people surged out at once, as if they had appeared out of thin air.

These people were dressed in uniform armor, wore face coverings, and carried standard bows and arrows; they were clearly a well-trained army.

"You have fewer than ten people, while I have 300. If you hand over all the red fruits you just picked, I might spare your lives today," the young man said arrogantly.

Ning Xuan tossed the red fruit in her hand, scratched its skin with her hand, and threw it into the crowd.

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Everyone get out of the way and kick that fruit away!"

Seeing his nervous expression, Ning Xuan could tell that this person had some knowledge of the red fruit.

"So you already know the secret of the Prajna Fruit." As the young man spoke, lightning surged around him.
