Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 380 Blood Purifying Pill

"Master, the front lines are dangerous, why did you come?" Lan Xin got up and hugged Ning Xuan as Ning Xuan pushed her.

Lan Xin was already tall, and now, dressed in military uniform and armor, he appeared even more imposing. Ning Xuan, dressed in white, was held in his arms, which made her look rather petite.

The tall, young general held the female doctor sent by the medical center in his arms. This scene, witnessed by others watching from afar, made them look at General Lan with a more ambiguous expression.

"Brother Xin, did our commander just kneel down?" a young officer wearing the rank insignia of a major general asked his companion.

"No way, how could that be? General Lan is known for his cold-faced nature. When he first arrived in Wanyun, he was provoked to his face because of his half-orc bloodline. He didn't give anyone face and his fists were hard. Apart from being a little respectful to Commander Ying, have you ever seen him give anyone a good look? Kneeling down? You must have seen wrong." His companion said with a sneer.

Ning Xuan quickly pulled Lan Xin up, and even the two subordinates following behind Lan Xin didn't see the interaction between the two of them very clearly.

“Perhaps, but it seems that the officer knows this doctor. Look, don’t they look very close?” Wang Cheng said to Liu Xin.

Wang Cheng and Liu Xin were both Lan Xin's trusted confidants who had followed her for quite some time. They believed they knew General Lan quite well. General Lan was very averse to physical contact with others, especially women. Even when she was seriously injured, she would not allow female doctors to get close to her.

"It seems so. Could it really be someone we knew before? Or perhaps, someone the general likes?" Liu Xin guessed.

“I hope General Lan won’t do anything foolish. Although General Lan is powerful, he is, after all, of half-orc blood. Those women will only see him as a slave to be exploited and bullied at will, and they will never be truly sincere to him. Moreover, given General Lan’s strength, there are no more than ten women in the entire Federation who can appease him. Those are all well-known figures. That doctor lady just now could not possibly have that ability,” Liu Xin said with a worried expression.

Most of Lan Xin's subordinates were transferred from the battlefield of the Myriad Meteor Starfield with him, and they all had great faith in Lan Xin's abilities.

Liu Xin still remembers the scene when he first fought alongside Lan Xin. At that time, the city was besieged by alien beasts, and the defending warriors were exhausted from continuous fighting. The situation was extremely critical. Lan Xin stood on the high wall of the fortress, his long sea-blue hair fluttering in the wind. He made a complicated hand seal in front of his chest, and then a surge of spiritual power emanated from his body.

An invisible barrier spread outwards from Lan Xin like ripples on water, and the first to feel the change were the mecha warriors guarding the city gate.

The mech warriors, who had been exhausted both mentally and physically, suddenly felt their fatigue disappear and their bodies were filled with strength again. They quickly replaced their mechs with backup power and returned to the war.

The ripples continued to spread, engulfing the entire city. The soldiers, who had been utterly exhausted, looked at each other in bewilderment. Not only had their fatigue vanished, but their senses had become heightened, and their bodies seemed to be infused with boundless power. Their muscle fibers were taut like steel, yet their heartbeats were as steady as a still lake.

Fear, hesitation, and doubt—these most deadly emotions on the battlefield—all vanished, replaced by a fervent, urgent thirst for battle. The soldier, who had been in pain, stared in astonishment at his wound. His injured arm was still bleeding, yet he felt no pain, only a slight numbness, as if a powerful anesthetic had been injected locally.

The reinforcements arrived at the battlefield three days late in that battle. Without General Lan's abilities, he, Wang Cheng, and many others would not have had a chance to survive that war.

Since that battle, he and Wang Cheng have been following General Lan, watching him grow step by step into the person he is today.

Later they learned that the innate skill General Lan used in that battle was called Boundless Illusionary Sea, an extremely powerful group ability. After he activated the skill, the soldiers on his side who were enveloped by the skill would experience reduced pain, their mental and physical strength would return to their peak, their perception would become sharper, their agility would increase, and their overall combat ability would double.

Of course, there is always a price to pay for using powerful skills. After activating the skill that time, General Lan was in a coma for seven days. All the warriors covered by the skill, except for the fallen, were in a state of extreme fatigue and it took them three days to recover.

However, even with such side effects, it cannot be denied that Boundless Illusionary Sea is an extremely powerful skill. After all, without the enhancement of this skill, they would not have been able to last three days; the city would have fallen and everyone would have perished long ago.

Liu Xin's concerns were echoed by Wang Cheng. "Our commander is so capable, he shouldn't be humiliated by a woman. Although that doctor seemed kind, who knows what she's like in private? Let's go check it out," Wang Cheng said.

"Let's go check the data from the monitoring station first, and get a report before we go," Liu Xin suggested.

“Okay, let’s go.” The two hit it off immediately and got to work.

When Ning Xuan was outside, she quickly pulled Lan Xin up, not because she felt sorry for him or didn't want him to lose face in front of his subordinates, but because she didn't want to expose her identity.

"Master, I acted impulsively just now and almost exposed your identity. I was careless and nearly put you in danger. Please punish me." In the cold and austere office, Lan Xin knelt on the hard floor and humbly begged for forgiveness.

Lan Xin only realized when Ning Xuan pulled him up that Ning Xuan had called out to him through a mental link in his mind. At that moment, he realized that Ning Xuan did not want to expose their relationship in front of others.

"Get up. I clearly brought you a whole bottle of Blood Cleansing Pills. Those pills contain my heart meridian essence blood, which can clear your mutation value. How come your mutation value is so high? Did you not use those pills?" Ning Xuan frowned as she looked at the blue scales on Lan Xin's wrist, her expression displeased.

“Master, the Blood Cleansing Pill is very effective, but there are only three pills left in that bottle. I’m afraid of encountering an emergency, so I want to save them to save my life and dare not use them anymore,” Lan Xin said with a face full of shame.

“Master, it’s not that I don’t cherish the pills, it’s just that for the past three months, for some reason, my mutation value has been rising repeatedly. Even though I haven’t over-consumed my mental energy or been seriously contaminated, my mutation value is still abnormal, so I’ve wasted a lot of pills,” Lan Xin quickly explained.
