Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 455 Almost there

“But there’s still a lot of dark energy in your body.” Ning Xuan touched Ying Yaoshi’s still somewhat unstable spiritual body and said with a puzzled look.

“We have to take it slowly, Master. Those dark energies are rooted in the spiritual sea, have been entrenched for many years, and have long since permeated the blood and marrow. They cannot be eliminated in a short time.” Ying Yaoshi endured the trembling of his soul being burned and explained with a wry smile.

"Alright." Seeing the pain on his face, Ning Xuan snapped her fingers, and the fiery red Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and withdrew its flames.

The enormous four-winged viper glanced fearfully at the little red bird, swayed its body, and shrank to the length of an arm. In a flash, it leaped and coiled itself around Ning Xuan's arm.

Under the scorching heat of the Vermilion Bird's Spirit Fire, the black aura that had been entwining the horns of the Winning Serpent had long since dissipated, revealing two clearly damaged and broken horns.

The messy scales on his body and the fractures in his wings looked much better.

The churning black waters within the mind's sea have calmed considerably compared to before.

"Look at yourself, how did you get yourself into such a mess?" Ning Xuan touched the snake's uneven horns and looked at Ying Yaoshi with displeasure.

"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect that they still had Ying Taihe as a trump card. I'm worried that if he really succeeds in breaking through, it will affect your situation. I have no choice but to take the risk." Ying Yaoshi lowered his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmph, I told you long ago that it's enough that you can keep those people in check. You don't need to worry about anything else. If I hadn't come to find you, I would have gone to the new planet as planned long ago. Transcendent Realm cultivators simply can't get there." Ning Xuan was relieved to know that Ying Yaoshi's injuries had stabilized. At this moment, she couldn't help but scold him.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I affected the Master's plans. I am willing to apologize to you." Ying Yaoshi recalled the thrilling battle three days ago, and looked at Ning Xuan with tenderness in his eyes.

He had fallen into a trap set by Ying Taihe and was trapped in an illusion, which caused his mental sea to riot and his body and soul to be severely damaged. His situation was extremely dangerous. At the critical moment, Ning Xuan broke through the boundary and transmitted her mental power to him through the mental link channel, pulling him out of the illusion.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to cooperate with my plan in the first place. As long as you stayed alive, you could help me intimidate those people. Who knew you would be so impulsive and fall into their trap, almost dying here." Ning Xuan rolled her eyes at Ying Yaoshi, then her spiritual body dissipated and her consciousness returned to its place.

Ying Yaoshi lay on Ning Xuan's lap and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his companion spirit, a dark purple snake, wrapped around Ning Xuan's sleeve, staring at him with a pair of golden eyes.

Ying Yaoshi sat up and knelt on one knee in front of Ning Xuan. "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for your timely help, I would have..." Ying Yaoshi stopped there. Of course, he still had ways to save his life, but he would have suffered a severe injury. Not only would his cultivation level drop, but his strength would also be greatly affected, and he might not even be able to advance again in the future.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright. Now that you're here, is everything alright on the Myriad Meteor Starfield battlefield? Are you going to stay here to break through your cultivation level, or rush back?" Ning Xuan asked.

“I’ve been here for five days now. The level 3 wormhole in S9 could become unstable at any time, and Lan Xin and the others might not be able to control it. Moreover, I’m still a little short of breaking through to the next level, so I plan to go back first,” Ying Yaoshi said.

"Keep these medicines safe. Most of them are pollution-removing and calming medicines, and there are also some fast-acting healing medicines. Take some back and give one to Lan Xin." Ning Xuan took out a spatial button and handed it to Ying Yaoshi.

“My Lord, please come with me to the Myriad Meteor Starfield. Even if those extraordinary forces don't use their own extraordinary beings, they still have many underhanded methods. Even if you go to the new planet, you may not be safe,” Ying Yaoshi advised again. “No need. I’ve already experienced their methods. You just need to keep an eye on those extraordinary beings to prevent them from causing trouble. I heard that last month, the Senate made things difficult for you regarding military funding when it came to energy supplies. Can you resolve that?” Ning Xuan asked.

“The Myriad Meteor Starfield is the first line of defense. If they dare to tamper with energy supplies, they must take responsibility for failing to defeat the defense. I have no reason to make things difficult for them.” Ying Yaoshi thought of those people’s faces, and a deep coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"These spatial buttons are filled with refined and processed purple marrow star-patterned energy stones. They are of high quality and have abundant energy. I'm keeping them for you in case you need them." Ning Xuan handed another spatial button to Ying Yaoshi.

"I don't need it, I..." Ying Yaoshi refused verbally, but when he saw Ning Xuan take out the purple energy stone from the spatial button, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Purple Marrow Star Pattern Energy Stones can be used as power sources for various types of starships and mechs, making them one of the more precious types of energy stones. Ying Yaoshi believed he had seen all kinds of energy stones, but he had never seen a single Purple Marrow Star Pattern Energy Stone larger than a human head.

“This one is considered small. I have many more energy stones of this size. They were all mined from new planets. I processed them a while ago. They are too valuable to sell easily. You can take them and use them for now,” Ning Xuan said in an unyielding tone.

"Thank you, Master." Ying Yaoshi accepted it and carefully put away the spatial button.

Upon receiving such a generous gift, Ying Yaoshi realized that he knew nothing about the financial resources Ning Xuan possessed.

It seems that the neoplanet is indeed a good place.

"Alright, you should go back now. Don't worry about me. Just make sure you keep an eye on all the superhumans, that's enough. You don't need to worry about the rest." Ning Xuan put her arm around Ying Yaoshi's waist and gave him a comforting kiss on the eyes.

"What is the origin of those orcs? Are they reliable?" Ying Yaoshi whispered in Ning Xuan's ear, having already set up a soundproof barrier between them to prevent others from hearing.

“They are all undead warriors who have been modified and controlled. I have removed the chips implanted in their brains and made them sign blood pacts, so they should be reliable, right?” Ning Xuan said in his ear.

"Only those who reach SSS level can condense a blood core. Their level isn't high enough, is it?" Ying Yaoshi asked doubtfully.

“Signing a blood pact doesn’t necessarily require a blood core. I have ways to control them, so don’t worry.” Ning Xuan pressed Ying Yaoshi’s head down and kissed him again.

Ying Yaoshi's breathing became somewhat rapid, and his ears and cheeks flushed red. He didn't want to return to the Myriad Meteor Star Region; he wanted to stay by Ning Xuan's side.

Filled with worry for Ning Xuan's safety, Ying Yaoshi returned to the Myriad Meteor Star Region. Only then did he learn that during the incident on Beichen Star, Ning Xuan had almost crippled all the supernatural forces that could be mobilized.
