Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 303 Entanglement
The faint dragon's roar sounded again, this time seemingly closer, strangely intertwined with the power of wind and thunder.

The wind is no longer just a simple airflow; it carries lightning through the air. The thunder is no longer just a pure roar; it is tamed, extended, and stretched by the wind, transforming into a silent pulse.

This calm wind and thunder seemed to be brewing a silent, yet earth-shattering catastrophe.

The little red bird on Yu Mingche's shoulder remained facing away from the training room. Its small body remained motionless on Yu Mingche's shoulder, but the pressure emanating from the depths of his bloodline did not disappear. Instead, it became more condensed and restrained, forming an invisible barrier that protected Yu Mingche and isolated him from the most direct erosion of the wind and thunder power.

Yu Mingche felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, not from a physical vibration, but from the invisible tearing of space itself under the compressed power of wind and thunder. The nine-tailed fox beside him wrapped its tail tightly around Yu Mingche's leg, emitting low, fearful whimpers.

Although the oppressive force of the wind and thunder was not as strong as the bloodline pressure of the little red bird, it was full of destructive, violent, and primal wildness that was about to break free from its restraints.

From the direction of the training room, the energy fluctuations suddenly intensified, and the suppressed "calm" finally showed a crack. With a loud "crack", a dragon shadow soared into the air.

"What is that?" Yu Mingche murmured.

"Could it be that Ning Xuan has awakened another companion spirit?" Yu Mingche muttered to himself.

The dragon's shadow vanished in an instant, and the suppressed wind and thunder power in the air also dissipated, restoring calm to the training room.

"You're here?" Ning Xuan's voice rang in Yu Mingche's ears. Yu Mingche bent his knees to kneel, but Ning Xuan held him up.

The little red bird perched on Yu Mingche's shoulder, turning its head away and ignoring her. Ning Xuan reached out and touched the feathers on the little red bird's head. "Mingche, during my seclusion, let the Vermilion Bird follow you."

"Chirp chirp chirp..." The little red bird seemed to understand, and it jumped twice angrily, even using its wings to swat at Ning Xuan's hand.

"Little guy, do you want to argue with me? Don't be so bossy. Isn't it good to have a little friend to keep you company?" Ning Xuan patted the little red bird on the head.

"Master... uh, Xuanxuan, are you awakening a second companion spirit?" Under Ning Xuan's gaze, Yu Mingche changed his form of address.

"Yes, it should be soon. I need to go into seclusion for a while. Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't cause any trouble," Ning Xuan instructed Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche looked at the little red bird on his shoulder, his heart trembling. This was truly putting him in a difficult position.

He can't control this little red bird if it wants to cause trouble.

"Xuanxuan, I might not be able to control it." Yu Mingche looked troubled.

"Don't worry, I'll communicate with it." Ning Xuan comforted him.

Seeing that Ning Xuan was about to go back to seclusion, Yu Mingche quickly told her what had happened in the reception room. Ning Xuan raised an eyebrow after listening, "Hehe, this is probably what Mom used to call medical disputes. Come on, I'll go take a look."

Yu Mingche apologized to Ning Xuan with a guilty look on his face, "It was my fault for handling it poorly, Xuanxuan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"What does this have to do with you? Don't take everything on yourself." Ning Xuan picked up the little red bird, stroked it, and walked ahead.

After Ning Xuan emerged from seclusion, the energy within the villa area stabilized. Without Yu Mingche's suppression, Zhang Jingyu in the reception room started making a ruckus again.

"Huangfu Xinyue, let me go! And just now, I suddenly couldn't speak. It was Governor Yu who did it. He dared to lay a hand on the Controller. I'm going to report him to the Controller Protection Association!" Zhang Jingyu shouted arrogantly.

"You won't let me speak, but am I wrong? Since Ning Xuan treated my sister, she has to take responsibility for her. Now that my sister has a problem, what's the point of her hiding from me?" Zhang Jingyu shouted loudly.

"Oh, is that what you think?" Ning Xuan walked in from outside, her face cold.

"Miss Ning, you've finally shown yourself! My elder sister is an S-level Controller, a key figure being cultivated and protected by the Controller Protection Association. If you can heal my sister, my family and the Controller Protection Association will be eternally grateful to you. Please save my sister!" Zhang Jingyu exclaimed excitedly to Ning Xuan upon seeing her appear.

“I remember when Zhang Jingyi came for treatment, she was barely clinging to life. If I hadn’t treated her, cleared her blocked meridians and acupoints, and guided her to practice martial arts to improve her physique, she would have died long ago. I’m the one who gave her this extra year of life.” Ning Xuan recognized Zhang Jingyu as her older sister and couldn’t help but sneer.

Ning Xuan still had a deep impression of Zhang Jingyi, because among the dozen or so patients she treated, Zhang Jingyi's condition was the most serious. Due to her poor constitution, she could not adapt to the spiritual impact brought by the awakening of her companion spirit. At that time, she had been bedridden for three years and had exhausted her life force. After Ning Xuan treated her, Zhang Jingyi's condition gradually improved.

Among the dozen or so patients, Zhang Jingyi's companion spirit was the highest level. Ning Xuan had specifically instructed her to suppress the growth of her companion spirit to prevent her mental strength level from increasing too quickly and affecting the improvement of her overall physical qualities.

“That was then, and this is now. I admit that you saved my sister’s life back then, and we paid for the consultation, didn’t we? Don’t worry, as long as you can save my sister, we will pay ten times more for the consultation this time than we did a year ago. Isn’t that sincere enough?” Zhang Jingyu said to Ning Xuan.

"Given your attitude today, I won't save anyone from your Zhang family, including your relatives and friends," Ning Xuan sneered.

“You, you just stood by and watched someone die. Don’t you feel any remorse? I’m going to tell the Controllers Protection Association. They definitely won’t stand idly by.” Zhang Jingyu said, and then contacted the Controllers Protection Association.

"President Wang, someone is causing trouble at my house and affecting my cultivation. Please send someone over immediately to remove her." Ning Xuan directly contacted President Wang of the Controller Protection Association, and instantly, President Wang's holographic projection appeared in front of Ning Xuan.

"Ning Xuan, no problem, I'll send someone over right away. You can just do whatever you need to do. When you have time, refine some mental calming potions. The association will provide all the ingredients, and I'll have someone bring them to you later," Chairman Wang said to Ning Xuan with a smile.

"I still have some mental calming potions on hand. I'll have your people get them from Yu Mingche later." Ning Xuan said, then turned and left.

"You can't leave! How can you be so heartless? My sister is waiting for you to save her life. She's been waiting for so long. I beg you, please save my sister!" Zhang Jingyu rushed towards Ning Xuan, but Shen Wenwen caught her around the waist.
