Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 236 Dan Cheng
“Youlin, driving is too slow and will easily give us away. We’re not far from our target. Take Lanxin and fly over there,” Ning Xuan instructed.

“Master, there’s no need to take him. Let him draw the map, and I can find it myself.” Di Youlin was unhappy when he heard this. He could fly, but Ning Xuan was the only one he was willing to carry on his back.

He couldn't stand anyone else.

“Master, the target doesn’t have any transportation and can’t travel much in a day. We also don’t know how far District 13 is from here. It might take a lot of time to find District 13. Why don’t I scout out their location and direction of movement, and wait until we find the exact location of District 13 before Young Master Di makes his move?” Lan Xin suggested. In fact, he was also unwilling to act with Di Youlin.

"Have Qinghe and Wang Teng help you track their location, and don't lose them," Ning Xuan instructed Lan Xin.

"Yes." Lan Xin replied respectfully, and seeing that Ning Xuan had no further instructions, she withdrew.

Seeing that Lan Xin had left, Di Youlin knelt down beside Ning Xuan and looked up at her.

Ning Xuan was fine when she was standing, but whenever she sat down, her contractors or slaves would kneel down on their own initiative when they came to her side to speak, all of them doing so very consciously.

Di Youlin tilted her head back, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with caution. "Master, there is a large lake to the west, and in the center of the lake is an island. The scenery there is beautiful, and there are many beautiful water birds. Shall I take you to see it tomorrow?"

Di Youlin's phoenix eyes, which usually looked very sharp, were only slightly raised in front of Ning Xuan, revealing a shimmering, moist look. When he looked at her, his eyes showed dependence and submission.

“Youlin, when Chairman Wang handed you over to me, he told me about your situation. I don’t want to provoke your family. Keeping you by my side to help you stabilize your mental strength and the degree of your mutation is already more than enough. Taking it any further is impossible,” Ning Xuan said bluntly.

Di Youlin had previously requested a mental link, but Ning Xuan had refused.

Ever since she connected with Lan Xin, Di Youlin has looked at her with a resentful gaze, as if she had wronged him.

Ning Xuan didn't really want to see him, which is why she wanted to send him away.

“Master, after my half-orc bloodline burst forth, I am no longer considered a member of the family. I have no relation to them anymore. If I hadn’t met you, I’m afraid I would have been completely mutated. So I have no relation to them. I belong only to you,” Di Youlin said urgently.

“Your father and mother don’t think so. There’s no need to say any more. You can leave now.” Ning Xuan recalled what Ying Yaoshi had told him about Di Youlin’s background. Even after Di Youlin had his accident, the Di family had always kept an eye on his situation.

The Empress did not give up. Over the years, she has been searching for someone who could appease and control him, and her attitude is extremely tough. Whoever the Empress has her eye on is captured and sent to the place where Emperor Youlin is imprisoned for testing.

Given Di Youlin's condition, Ning Xuan was unwilling to have him.

"Master," Di Youlin wanted to plead again.

Ning Xuan gave him a cold look, stood up and walked out.

Emperor Youlin immediately got up and chased after him.

Ning Xuan entered the alchemy room. Di Youlin looked at the tightly closed door and dared not follow any further. If he disturbed Ning Xuan's alchemy, she would really get angry. When Di Youlin first came to Ning Xuan's side, he was still somewhat willful and capricious. However, the longer he spent by her side, the more worries he felt.

Now that Di Youlin knew the main reason why Ning Xuan refused to accept him, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He only learned about his half-orc bloodline from his mother in the third year after he went to war. Before that, his wings had been suppressed by his mother with medicine and were just two inconspicuous tumors. In the third year after he went to war, his wings suddenly could no longer be suppressed, and his mother told him the truth.

From that time on, he fell into unspeakable struggle and pain.

He visited the orc tribe and saw that the orcs were raised in captivity from birth, receiving slave education and living without any dignity. He was filled with gratitude for his mother's concealment of his existence.

But from that moment on, he carried this secret, knowing that he could be exposed at any time and fall into the abyss. In this state of constant fear, he would occasionally wonder if he had been brainwashed from childhood, would he have been like those domesticated half-orcs, ignorant and unaware, and would not have suffered these pains?

He was powerless to answer the question Ning Xuan had raised. Sending him to Ning Xuan's side was his father's decision; his mother would rather let him die than allow him to become someone else's slave.

Emperor Youlin sat outside the alchemy room, neither daring to go in nor leaving.

Ning Xuan had already prepared the medicinal herbs and started refining the medicine.

This time, she wasn't refining liquid medicine, but rather elixirs.

Ning Xuan fiddled with the medicinal herbs in front of her with her slender fingers. The alchemy furnace in front of her was her usual purple dragon-patterned alchemy furnace.

Ning Xuan channeled the fire energy within her body, and a bright flame ignited at her fingertips. Fine energy threads dripped from her fingers, instantly bringing the coiled dragon on the surface of the purple-patterned alchemy furnace to life. The bright flame gradually intensified, climbing up the dragon relief to the bottom of the furnace.

With a wave of her slender hand, Ning Xuan sent a red ginseng, as long as a hand, soaring into the air. The ginseng's outer skin peeled off as it was cut by the energy threads.

Bright flames scorched the surface of the red ginseng, and drops of bright red ginseng liquid turned into red liquid before they could fall into the furnace.

Seeing the red ginseng being gradually refined, Ning Xuan picked up a white ice-soul snow lotus and threw it directly into the alchemy furnace. The snow lotus originally had its petals closed, but after coming into contact with the red liquid, the sixteen petals suddenly unfolded, and the pure white flowers floated in the bright red liquid, which was very beautiful.

Seeing the red medicinal liquid seeping into the snow lotus petals, Ning Xuan cut her wrist and dripped her own blood into it.

Ning Xuan's blood contains incredibly pure energy. This pool of essence blood envelops the snow lotus petals, making it look like beautiful amber at first glance.

After another ten minutes or so, the petals gradually merged with the ginseng liquid. At this moment, Ning Xuan put the golden herb into the alchemy furnace. With a muffled "hum", the alchemy furnace suddenly shook violently. Ning Xuan formed a lotus seal with her hands, and three vines coiled on the inner wall of the alchemy furnace. While controlling the flames under the furnace, she also used her mental energy to sort out the colliding energies inside the alchemy furnace.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden outer shell of the pill inside the furnace shattered, and a sudden creaking sound came from within the furnace, with a golden light shooting straight up to the roof.

Ning Xuan felt the energy fluctuations of the pills and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. This batch of pills was complete.
