Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 440. Demonic Plant
"Get up and tell me why you failed?" Ren Pingsheng's face was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to discern his expression. However, his voice was low and somewhat gloomy.

"We lay in wait for half a month and finally found an opportunity for Ning Xuan to leave the villa area and head to the secondary security zone. However, one of our targets, the SSS-level orc Qinghe, was with Ning Xuan. Because the opportunity was rare, I activated the auction house's mole and manipulated Number 19 to ambush Ning Xuan in the private room. Unexpectedly, Qinghe noticed the attack when it was launched. Moreover, he actually knew the weakness of the undead, which caused the attack to fail. Afterwards, I found that Number 19 was out of contact and the exit of the auction house was blocked, so I gave Number 19 a self-destruct order and left the auction house." Xie Liuyun honestly explained what had happened.

In fact, Xie Liuyun made no mistakes in any of his steps. His judgments were accurate, and his grasp of the situation was just right. Even now, he still can't understand why he gave Mingming the order to self-destruct on the 19th, but failed to achieve the expected goal.

According to his plan, even if Ning Xuan escaped, she would inevitably be seriously injured, and the entire auction house would be razed to the ground. The bomb installed inside No. 19 was extremely powerful, and once the program was activated, it was irreversible.

However, he waited in the shadows for a full half hour without receiving any of the information he wanted.

The auction house was intact, and Ning Xuan returned safely to her residence, but on the 19th, all signs of life disappeared.

He couldn't understand why the explosion that would have shaken the entire Federation hadn't happened.
As the safest political, economic, and cultural center of the Federation, Central Star has extremely strict controls over security checks and protection.

Creating a shocking explosion on the central star was one of the plans set by the star lord. For this plan, they paid a great price in the early stages, even going so far as to implant a high-explosive bomb into the body of the immortal No. 19. This move would inevitably cause irreversible damage to No. 19's body.

It is important to know that creating an immortal requires extremely high resources, and each immortal is very precious.

However, even at such a high price, they failed to achieve their desired goal.

“Your arrangements were flawless. There are some strange things about Ning Xuan. Wuchen, you’ve had contact with her, why don’t you tell us about it?” Ren Pingsheng’s gaze fell on Ji Wuchen.

Ji Wuchen trembled slightly. He hadn't had much contact with Ning Xuan, and each time it was never alone. Ning Xuan was always accompanied by someone. Even when he was disguised as Jin Shanshan, he couldn't get close to Ning Xuan.

“Ning Xuan has a very strong personality, unlike someone from a lower-level star. Her spiritual power is very pure, and she has strong control over it. Her companion spirit is very powerful. Her father is from the Bai family, but she has a distant relationship with them. I once tested her with the Bai family members, but she completely ignored them, treating them like complete strangers,” Ji Wuchen said, racking his brains. “None of this is strange. Look at this.” Ren Pingsheng frowned, waved his hand, and a series of images appeared.

In the first scene, Ning Xuan is purifying a certain medicine. If Ning Xuan were here, she would see that the scene shows her refining medicine at her home in Xingluo Bay. The young girl is staring intently at the medicine furnace in front of her, her hands flying, while a dozen black and red vines are helping Ning Xuan process the medicinal materials.

The second picture shows Ning Xuan refining potions in the alchemy room of Xingluo Bay School. There are also several vines helping her. These vines appear in the later pictures, but they are not very clear and only a general outline can be seen.

After Ning Xuan arrived at Central Star, Yan Fuzhen stayed by her side. Since then, no clear pictures have been leaked. In fact, Yan Fuzhen had also tried to clean up the traces Ning Xuan had left in Xingluo Bay, but there were always some omissions. That's why Ren Pingsheng was able to find the two clear videos mentioned earlier.

"Are these vines Ning Xuan's pet plants? I've never seen her use any pet plants. I asked many people about Ning Xuan back then, but no one knew anything about this," Ji Wuchen said, looking at the images.

“There aren’t many spirit controllers who possess plant-type companion spirits, and there are even fewer demonic plants that can be tamed. Every tamable demonic plant is extremely precious. Most of these demonic plants can only provide materials such as fruits and leaves. A demonic plant like the one Ning Xuan has, which can act as a helper, is extremely rare. How could a commoner girl born in a low-level star system like her possibly obtain such a thing?” Xie Liuyun frowned and analyzed.

"So, this vine isn't a plant pet, but Ning Xuan's companion spirit? No, wait, isn't her companion spirit the legendary fire spirit Vermilion Bird?" Ji Wuchen instantly rejected his previous guess.

"She has great talent, and it's not impossible for her to awaken two companion spirits," Xie Liuyun said thoughtfully.

“No need to guess anymore. This isn’t her companion spirit; it’s more like a plant pet she acquired from somewhere. Although the later pictures are unclear, I can sense that the demonic plant is getting stronger and stronger,” Ren Pingsheng said.

"Even if a demonic plant is powerful, it can't do much," Ji Wuchen said, looking at Ren Pingsheng's serious face with a puzzled expression.
