Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 289 Solving the Crisis
The giant snake had two horns on its head, and it was exactly the same as the giant snake that Ning Xuan had first seen, which came through the clouds and mist.

This is the true form of Ying Yaoshi's companion spirit.

Sensing Ning Xuan's fear, the giant snake lowered its head towards her.

Ning Xuan discovered that she could sense the giant snake's emotions—an anticipatory and joyful emotion. This discovery relaxed Ning Xuan. When Ning Xuan finally reached the area where the giant snake could move, the head with two horns swam over, lowered its head, and lifted Ning Xuan onto its head.

The following process went very smoothly, and Ning Xuan's spiritual body resonated with Ying Yaoshi's spiritual sea.

The area within Ying Yaoshi's spiritual sea that was originally shrouded in mist has changed.

The hazy mist gradually dissipated, and countless silver lights shone from the depths of the spiritual sea, like a dazzling rain of light, dripping continuously and flowing into the massive body of the Winning Serpent.

The small snake, which had been swimming in the bucket, had its broken scales grow back one by one, and with a "whoosh," it entered Ying Yaoshi's body.

Ning Xuan's mental power was affected by the light rain and became a little brighter than before. Ning Xuan withdrew from Ying Yaoshi's mental sea. As she withdrew, two thick light rope-like channels pierced through Ying Yaoshi's primordial spirit phantom at one end and connected to Ning Xuan's mental sea at the other end.

After Ning Xuan returned to her original body, her originally spacious mental sea became crowded. After the passage connected to her mental sea, she "saw" strands of golden energy being born, and her mental sea expanded.

Ying Yaoshi sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. Golden light kept flashing around his body, and rumbling sounds occasionally came from within his body. Ning Xuan waited quietly by his side without disturbing him. About two hours later, Ying Yaoshi opened his eyes.

Ying Yaoshi's eyes shone with golden light, the golden glint in his pupils sharp as swords, making it impossible to look directly at him.

Ying Yaoshi clenched his fist, an expression of disbelief on his face. His injuries had healed, and his mental strength had returned to its peak. However, not only that, his realm had broken through. The barrier that had troubled him for ten years, which he had tried every possible method to overcome, had actually been broken through.

The horns on the snake's head turned golden, all the scales on its body were intact, and transparent membranes grew from the wings on its back. It gathered golden energy in its eyes and could clearly see the flow of energy around it.

"How are you feeling?" Ning Xuan asked as she saw him open his eyes.

"Great!" Ying Yaoshi picked Ning Xuan up in one scoop. "Xuanxuan, thank goodness you came. You are my lifeline." Ying Yaoshi was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

He lifted Ning Xuan above his head, hoisted her onto his shoulders, and spun her around.

"You've made me dizzy, put me down!" Ning Xuan grabbed Ying Yaoshi's ear and twisted it hard.

Ying Yaoshi obediently placed Ning Xuan on the sofa. He knelt on one knee in front of Ning Xuan and said, "I've broken through! Ying She's innate skills have improved. Her wings have grown bone membranes, and she's not far from having all four wings." Ying Yaoshi said with bright eyes. This breakthrough solved a major problem on Ying She's path to evolution.

"Judging from your expression, increasing your strength is beneficial to the current situation, right?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Yes, it's very advantageous. Don't worry, I have a way to solve the problems outside." Ying Yaoshi swept away his previous worries and became calm and composed. His entire demeanor also underwent a tremendous change.

"Who was it that questioned me about what I was doing here? And tried to trap me in the house, humph..." Ning Xuan was furious just thinking about it. If she hadn't managed to break through the house's defenses, she really wouldn't have been able to get out. "It's my fault, Xuanxuan. Once we get through this crisis and return to the base, I'll make it up to you properly." Ying Yaoshi lowered his head and kissed Ning Xuan's forehead.

"Go ahead and get busy." Ning Xuan pointed outside, where footsteps became chaotic, clearly indicating that something had happened.

"Then I'll go out and take a look."

Ying Yaoshi nodded and went out.

Ning Xuan sat on the sofa without leaving. She closed her eyes to rest and establish a mental link with Ying Yaoshi. Although the process went very smoothly, Ning Xuan was too eager to succeed and used all her strength right away, which greatly consumed her mental energy. After successfully establishing the link, her mental sea underwent some changes, causing Ning Xuan to feel exhausted.

She had just taken two bottles of mental energy replenishment potions, but the growth of her mental energy was very slow. She still felt a sense of emptiness in her mind, and this emptiness made her limbs feel weak.

Ning Xuan tried to stand up and took two steps forward, swaying unsteadily.

Ying Yaoshi was so excited that he didn't notice Ning Xuan's unusual behavior at all.

Ning Xuan sat back down dejectedly, then lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Ning Xuan drifted off to sleep, but in her dream, she heard a deafening roar. The loud noise startled her awake.

After a good night's sleep, Ning Xuan recovered and got off the sofa. She walked out of the isolation room to the sound of cheers.

"Xuanxuan, did you see that just now? Ying Shuai is still too amazing. The wormhole self-destruction crisis has been resolved. Now they've all gone to collect energy crystals. Soon, we can return to the base." Dean Wen walked in from outside and said with great joy when he saw Ning Xuan.

"Although Ying Shuai didn't say it, I know it's all thanks to you. Without you, his injury wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"By the way, didn't you go out just now?"

"Has establishing a spiritual link with Ying Shuai become a burden for you?" Dean Wen asked, snapping out of his reverie when he saw Ning Xuan's location.

"No. I just used up a lot of energy and felt tired, so I fell asleep," Ning Xuan said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xuanxuan. We owe you so much this time. Ying Shuai has not only fully recovered, but he's even stronger than before," Dean Wen said gratefully.

"Dean Wen, you're too kind. He was originally my contractor, and it was my duty to establish a spiritual link with him," Ning Xuan said calmly and gently.

"In any case, your appearance averted a major disaster. You didn't see it just now, but the Marshal almost single-handedly contained the impact of the wormhole's self-destruction to a specific area. That scene was too shocking. Although you didn't see it in person, they have recorded it. I'll go get it for you to see in a bit." Dean Wen is quite old and usually very composed, but today he was very excited.

"Not only was the crisis resolved this time, but most of the energy crystals released from the wormhole's self-destruction were also preserved. These are high-concentration energy crystals born under extremely high pressure, which can be used as starship energy. They are all our spoils of war." Dean Wen was eager to share his thoughts and kept talking to Ning Xuan.
