Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 314 Thunder Beast

In fact, not only Hua Shangnan, but most of the people on the starship who wanted to get close to her had ulterior motives. Even Wang Qing, although he concealed it well, probably didn't have pure feelings for her either.

In fact, Ning Xuan was quite successful in concealing her gender. However, no matter how well she concealed it, she was still a woman with delicate skin and a lithe figure. Even if she made terrible scars on her face and darkened her skin, she could not hide her exquisite features.

Furthermore, male spirit controllers possess a latent, intuitive sensitivity in their genes. The higher the level of a male, the more easily he is driven by his intuition and develops feelings for her.

On the contrary, those of lower rank are less perceptive in this regard.

Several months have passed, and Ning Xuan feels a little nostalgic for Yu Mingche, Ying Yaoshi, Yun Han, Lin Mo, Chen Nan, Di Youlin, and the others. When Ning Xuan first entered this world, she saw Lin Mo, then Chen Nan accompanied her, and later more and more people surrounded her. Before, she didn't think they were that outstanding because she had spent a lot of time with them, but what she has seen and heard during this period has made her realize that whether it is Lan Xin, Di Youlin, or Yu Mingche, they are all extremely beautiful. The looks of Lin Mo, Jiuwei, and others far surpass the most outstanding looks she has seen here.

If she hadn't run away, she would at least have Lin Mo by her side now. Moreover, given her status and position, she would have many privileges. Even if she were serving at the Second Legion headquarters, she could recruit anyone she wanted, except for Ying Yaoshi. Her conditions would definitely be much better than here.

Ning Xuan felt that her current behavior was just asking for trouble. The battles she could encounter here were all very low-level, not as exciting as exploring the secret realm on the new planet.

However, according to the information she gathered, the current calm is because this phase happens to be a truce.

After a three-month adaptation period, the atmosphere at the base became noticeably tense.

On this day, Hua Shangnan found Ning Xuan and said to her with a serious expression, "Ning Zhi, a magnetic storm with thunder and lightning is coming soon. Along with the severe weather, the star beasts unique to this star field, the Thunder Control Beasts, will also be arriving."

"In this kind of weather, the obsidian vein can absorb magnetic and lightning power, giving birth to special ores that can store lightning power. These special ores are truly rare and priceless, and are rare resources that we must do everything we can to obtain."

"However, the Thunder Beasts also rely on consuming this special ore to evolve, so this planet will be embroiled in a protracted war for the next three months."

"The ordinary team you're in now will become cannon fodder in the first round of the war, with less than 30% of the lucky ones surviving. So, if you join the special defense force with me, you'll be on the battlefield just like everyone else, but you'll get more and better equipment. Not only will your survival rate increase significantly, but your chances of making a name for yourself will also increase a lot." In order to persuade Ning Xuan, Hua Shangnan didn't hesitate to tell her all the information he knew.

"Hua Shangnan, your surname is Hua. Are you related to the Qinglong family?" Ning Xuan asked.

"I am a member of a collateral branch of the Hua family. I am of mediocre talent and not valued. Therefore, my position in the military is something I earned through my own hard work and has nothing to do with my family," Hua Shangnan explained solemnly. He did not want Ning Zhi to think that his current achievements were due to his family.

“Oh, I used to be weak, and this is my first time seeing the world. At first, I didn’t know the meaning of the black bracelet, but I found out later.” Ning Xuan looked at Hua Shangnan calmly.

Hua Shangnan suddenly felt a sense of oppression. He nervously swallowed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Ning Xuan.

"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous that day." Ning Zhi had been avoiding him ever since that day, and Hua Shangnan knew that; he didn't want to accept him.

"But everything I'm telling you today is for your own good. I just don't want you to be in danger." Hua Shangnan didn't know why he felt guilty when facing Ning Zhi. He hadn't done anything to wrong her. "Thank you for your kindness. I came here alone because I didn't want to rely on anyone. Colonel Hua, I won't leave my current team. Thank you for telling me about the Thunder Beast." Ning Xuan finished speaking and turned to leave.

As the atmosphere at the base grew increasingly tense, Ning Xuan could clearly feel the increasing energy of lightning in the air while carrying out field missions.

Ning Xuan emerged from the underground base and stood atop the tallest tower on its perimeter. She released her spiritual power to scan the area and ensure no one was around. Then, she sat cross-legged and began practicing the "Spirit Guiding Technique," guiding and refining the external lightning power into her blue meridians.

A small, fiery red bird flew out from between Ning Xuan's eyebrows, squatted down beside her angrily, and looked at her.

After Ning Xuan finished her cultivation, she reached out to touch the little red bird. The little red bird chirped at her for a while, looking very displeased.

"Alright, Little Red, I already told you, I just wanted to find you a companion. In the future, if we encounter danger, it can fight alongside you, and then we'll be even stronger, right?" Ning Xuan comforted the little red bird, holding it in her hand.

Ning Xuan initially chose this location after a rough selection process, precisely because of the frequent thunderstorms here. Since this area experiences frequent thunderstorms, it must have abundant lightning power.

Her second companion spirit was of the wind and thunder element. Its cultivation progress was very slow in a normal environment. Even though she used a lot of thunder element crystals when she went into seclusion, her second companion spirit still failed to take shape.

Therefore, she wanted to use this place to help the wind and thunder elemental companion spirit within her take shape.

"Lieutenant Ning, Lieutenant Ning." Ning Xuan heard someone calling her from below.

A man with a thick beard was waving at her. He was one of her squad leaders, and judging from his anxious expression, something had obviously happened.

Ning Xuan glanced at the tower's height and jumped down. The squad leader, seeing her jump, closed his eyes in fright.

"Oh dear, Commander Ning, it's so high, why did you jump down like that? What if you got hurt?" the squad leader said, looking terrified.

"What happened? Tell me quickly," Ning Xuan asked, frowning.

"Commander Ning, Lieutenant Huo was injured yesterday while on a mission in the Ninth Mining Area. He was seriously injured and needs to rest for a while. He recommended you to temporarily take over his position," the squad leader said with a conflicted expression.

"I've taken care of things for him before, so is there something special about this time?" Ning Xuan asked astutely.

"We just received orders from above to have our company move into the Ninth Mining Area and stay there for seven days before we can be relieved," the squad leader said with a worried look on his face.
