Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 237 Safe Zone 13
Ning Xuan looked at the golden pill in her hand, feeling extremely pleased. The two pill patterns on the pill seemed to be flowing, emitting strong energy fluctuations. This pill was made with red ginseng, ice-soul snow lotus, and golden flame immortal grass as the main ingredients, and more than ten other medicinal herbs as auxiliary ingredients. Her blood was used as a guide and medium, and it was refined with the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. This batch of pills did not follow the original prescription, but was formulated and refined by her own combination. She had experimented more than ten times before finally succeeding today.

Ning Xuan carefully stored away the batch of pills and continued refining medicine.

Outside the door, only Di Youlin was originally guarding it. After the pills were made, Yun Han, Chen Nan, Lan Xin and Lin Mo all rushed over.

"I just felt a strong throbbing sensation, as if... as if... I can't quite put my finger on it." Chen Nan's words were incoherent and unclear.

“When the contract master was refining the medicine, she must have added her own blood. Her blood produced a strange reaction with the other medicinal materials, and the medicine she refined will have miraculous effects on us contract masters.” Yun Han has a high level of mental power and the strongest perception ability.

Emperor Youlin was stimulated by the energy of the pill when it was made, and his energy has not yet fully subsided. Hearing Yun Han and Chen Nan's conversation, he let out a soft hum.

"Young Master Di, what are you doing here?" Yun Han questioned.

"Guard the gate. The master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter." Di Youlin glanced at Yun Han and the others, then slowly withdrew his released energy.

"Heh, who would dare to trespass into the master's alchemy room? You're not guarding the door, you're blocking people, aren't you? The master is far too lenient with you." Yun Han gave him a cold sidelong glance.

Di Youlin snorted coldly. He wished Ning Xuan would treat him like before, hanging him up with vines and having him beaten up when she was unhappy. However, he forgot when Ning Xuan had become more and more lenient with him. Even when she was angry, she would just drive him away instead of punishing him as she used to.

Only today did he realize the crux of the problem, but unfortunately, it seems that the problem cannot be solved in the short term.

Just as Yun Han was about to tell Di Youlin to leave, the door suddenly opened.

"What are you all doing gathered here?" Ning Xuan, dressed in a sharp black combat uniform, looked coldly at the several distinctive men outside the door.

It must be said that Yun Han and the others are all tall and have long legs, and outstanding appearances. When they get together, they are a particularly pleasing sight.

"My Lord." Yun Han and the others bowed their heads when they saw Ning Xuan come out.

“My Lord, I just sensed that you were using blood to refine medicine. I believe this will harm your body, so please do not use it again. I urge you to reconsider.” Yun Han’s eyes were full of worry; he was indeed concerned about Ning Xuan’s health.

“I know what I’m doing. I’ve been feeling a bit uneasy lately, like something’s about to happen. These medicines are for you to practice with, so I’m keeping them on hand,” Ning Xuan explained calmly.

"The health of the contract master is the most important thing. If the medicine prepared for us comes at the cost of damaging the contract master's health, then it's better not to prepare it at all," Yun Han replied immediately upon hearing Ning Xuan's explanation.

Yun Han even glanced at the others, and Chen Nan immediately followed up, "Yes, Master, no matter what, we absolutely cannot allow your body to be harmed."

Lan Xin and Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Ning Xuan's face darkened. Although Yun Han was also worried about her health, Ning Xuan never allowed others to question her decisions. Yun Han sensed Ning Xuan's change in mood and silently knelt down. An eerie silence suddenly fell over everyone.

Ning Xuan looked down at Yun Han kneeling on the ground and patted him twice on the back. Yun Han groaned, as if a heavy burden was pressing down on his back, and the muscles under his combat uniform taut with sharp lines.

"Everyone except Yun Han, leave. Lan Xin, Di Youlin, do what I asked you to do as soon as possible." Ning Xuan finished speaking and stepped back into the room, closing the door of the alchemy room behind her.

Looking at Yun Han, who was sweating profusely but still trying to straighten his back, Lin Mo said in bewilderment, "Xiao Han, aren't you just making trouble for yourself?"

Chen Nan secretly curled his lip. He felt that Yun Han was deliberately causing trouble so that his master would punish him. Sometimes he also wanted to deliberately cause trouble, preferring to be punished by his master rather than be ignored by him.

Ning Xuan refined medicine until midnight, and Yun Han was also forced to kneel until midnight as punishment. Then Ning Xuan took him back to sleep and rest together.

The little fox, who had originally planned to sneak into Ningxuan's room, was disappointed once again.

On the fifth day of Ning Xuan and the others' stay at the treehouse, Di Youlin and Lan Xin came to report that they had figured out the exact location of District 13 and that the two people who might have exposed Ning Xuan's information had been dealt with.

District 13, also known as Security Zone 13, is guarded by the Seventh Legion. This legion is backed by the Star Council and is under its command. It has always held a special position among the major legions of the Federation.

Ning Xuan knew that someone in District 13 had put a bounty on her, and she had to find out who that person was.
Safety Zone 13 is about 400 kilometers away from the place Ning Xuan chose to settle down. If the mechanical vehicle were to drive at full speed, it would only take a day at most. However, the road conditions in this world are bad, and it took them three days to reach Safety Zone 13.

To avoid suspicion, Yun Han and the others made simple disguises. Ning Xuan wore men's clothing and made some facial modifications, so even Yun Han couldn't tell that she was a woman dressed as a man for a while.

Safety Zone 13 is located in an inverted bowl-shaped valley, with three sides of cliffs resembling a black iron barrier cleaved by a giant axe, shrouded in gray mist year-round.

The fog completely shrouded the valley.

The most ingenious design of the safe zone lies in those seemingly naturally formed rock layers—behind each raised stone ridge is a full-spectrum camouflage plate that reflects light of all spectrums, better concealing the safe zone.

The entrance is hidden among the waterfalls on the north slope, behind which are seventeen silver-chain-like waterfalls and staggered mirror-like metal pillars.

These matte-finished pillars automatically deflect with the angle of sunlight, refracting the outline of the entire safety zone into a natural extension of the rugged mountains. Even from a lookout point thirty meters away, one can only see blurry shadows of rocks in the mist, like geological formations that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The main buildings in the safe zone follow the contours of the mountain, with curved domes covered by artificially cultivated rock moss. This genetically modified plant secretes luciferin, so at night, the entire mountainside appears to float with a cold, ethereal blue light, perfectly blending with the snowline under the starry sky.

The cliff on the east side may seem ordinary, but it actually hides a secret. Those dark red rocks are actually an electromagnetic barrier. Once an intruder steps into the 100-meter radius warning circle, those rocks will instantly launch a counterattack.
