Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 415 Soul Clearing Pill

"Is this...is this true? Xuanxuan, you passed the alchemy master assessment?" Yu Mingche stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. I specifically took the exam so that my resume would look better when we hold the ceremony," Ning Xuan said proudly.

The ceremony of forming a bond requires inviting relatives and friends of both parties to attend. Yu Mingche's resume is very impressive, and his political status is also very high. As for Ning Xuan, the matter of her divine bloodline is a secret. She does not plan to disclose her SS-level spiritual power and dual companion spirits. The rest of her resume is not something she can be ashamed of. Therefore, Ning Xuan decided to take the exam to become a master alchemist.

After all, having the title of alchemy master to back him up is barely enough.

"Xuanxuan, you always amaze me. Thank you for thinking so much about me. Actually, even without the title of Grandmaster Alchemist, it would be my honor to form a bond with you." Yu Mingche said with gratitude in his eyes.

Three days before the initiation ceremony, Yu Mingche took Ning Xuan to the Tianjiao Training Base to meet the dean.

When Ning Xuan stood in front of the dean, those eyes that seemed to see through everything made her unconsciously straighten her back.

"Is this the little girl you were talking about?" The dean looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was actually over 300 years old. He had watched Yu Mingche grow up. To be precise, without him, Yu Mingche might not have even been able to grow up.

The dean smiled and looked Ning Xuan up and down. "Dual companions, SS-level mental strength, and a master alchemist at such a young age. Young Yu, you've struck gold!"

Yu Mingche stood to the side, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up: "Dean, this is my master. Why don't you praise me properly in front of my patriarch?"

It was clear that Yu Mingche was very relaxed in front of the dean, and they must have had frequent interactions, as the atmosphere between them was very harmonious and warm.

Ning Xuan knew that this dean was a family member recognized by Yu Mingche, so she obediently greeted the old man, "Hello, dean. My name is Ning Xuan. Brother Mingche is very outstanding. I am very happy to be able to form a bond with him."

Ning Xuan's outfit today was chosen by Feng Linran, who even adjusted her hairstyle and accessories. As a result, her outfit suited her appearance perfectly, creating a very gentle and sweet style.

Although those familiar with Ning Xuan know that her personality is completely different from gentle and sweet, judging from her appearance alone, this outfit suits her very well.

"Hello Ning Xuan, I'm an old man who has lived this long and has never seen such a gentle and beautiful young girl. Xuan Xuan, come here, let me show you Mingche's childhood photos and tell you about his childhood." The old director reached out and pulled Ning Xuan into the house.

When the old dean went to pull Ning Xuan away, Yu Mingche couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew that Ning Xuan hated being touched by strangers and was afraid that she would lose her temper and shake off the dean. But to his surprise, Ning Xuan cooperated and was pulled away by the old dean.

Yu Mingche breathed a sigh of relief, a surge of gratitude welling up within him. He quickly caught up with the two, chatting and joking with them. "Look at this photo. This guy with the swollen face is Mingche. Look at that fierce look in his eyes. He was only four years old then, and he single-handedly took down three kids who were a head taller than him. But he was beaten pretty badly too. Alas, poor Mingche. Luckily, he's smart and strong enough to grow up smoothly. However, having experienced so much, he's become quite thoughtful from a young age. If he does anything inappropriate, Xuanxuan, please be understanding." The old director, wearing his reading glasses, flipped through the photos Yu Mingche had left behind.

Yu Mingche tried to interrupt the old dean's nagging several times, but Ning Xuan secretly pulled him back. She and the old man were destined not to have much interaction. Since the old man really cared about Yu Mingche and was considering his well-being, she naturally couldn't bear to let him down.

Let me nag a little.

“Look at this one, this photo of him with his bare bottom. This is one of Mingche’s rare embarrassing moments. I…” The old dean pulled out another photo and pointed at it, saying to Ning Xuan.

"Dean, please put it away. That happened so long ago. I was just a child then," Yu Mingche quickly interrupted him.

"Haha, yes, yes, Mingche was still young back then. Doesn't he feel shy now when he sees this?" The old dean laughed heartily.

Yu Mingche looked at him helplessly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. The old dean's mental strength level was only A-level, and because he had never received comfort from a female spirit controller, his mental sea was already in complete disarray, and the mutated genes in his body were also very unstable. In recent years, he had even experienced mental confusion, disordered thinking, and various other symptoms. Yu Mingche would take the old dean for a check-up every now and then, but the results were not optimistic. The old dean's current state was at risk of mutation at any time, and there was also the possibility of mental confusion and becoming mentally impaired.

Yu Mingche had taken the old dean for treatment, of course. However, this kind of mental illness that had accumulated over the years was incurable. Even relieving the symptoms was very difficult. It was thanks to Yu Mingche's years of arranging for doctors to treat the old dean that he was able to hold on. Otherwise, the old dean would probably have given up long ago.

In reality, although the average lifespan of a Spirit Controller in the Interstellar Federation is said to be between 500 and 800 years, the actual number of Spirit Controllers who live to be 500 is very small.

After all, the higher one's mental strength level, the greater the likelihood of participating in various battles. However, participating in battles carries the risk of dying on the battlefield. Even if one does not die on the battlefield, one's mental sea is easily polluted, and the risk of complete alienation is also higher.

Spirit controllers with low mental strength levels may only be able to engage in social service-related work, which seems to reduce their chances of being contaminated. However, their rewards are also very meager, which means they have no opportunity to find a good master or receive mental guidance. Over time, their mental sea will become chaotic, which will also affect their lifespan.

Seeing the sadness in Yu Mingche's eyes, Ning Xuan took advantage of the old dean's inattention and took out a bottle of pills from her spatial storage and handed it to Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche took the bottle of pills, opened it, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out. Just smelling the aroma was enough to invigorate one's spirits.

"Is this the Soul Cleansing Pill?" Yu Mingche looked at Ning Xuan excitedly.

Ning Xuan nodded and smiled, "It's said that this kind of pill can clear away stubborn pollution that has accumulated in the spiritual sea over a long period of time. I refined two bottles in advance to give to the old man as a gift. What do you think?"
