Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 426 Private Armed Forces
The last time Ning Xuan and her group were able to enter the Nova Planet exploration was because the official government had worked hard to secure it for the purpose of cultivating new graduates. Under the guise of a joint graduation exam, they still had to go through layers of selection before they could enter.

The military agreed because the space gates were unusable on the new planet at the time. These students could only gain some experience by exploring the new planet and could not take away any resources. However, later, the military learned that there were ruins of an ancient civilization on the new planet and discovered that there were space artifacts in the ruins, which was beyond the military's expectations.

To make up for the losses, they conducted a large-scale search of all graduates and their entourage at the graduation ceremony, and found more than a dozen spatial artifacts from the primitive civilization of the new planet. Along with confiscating these spatial artifacts, they also confiscated half of the valuable resources inside them.

For more than a year, the Federal Research Institute has been studying these space artifacts that can be used simultaneously in two star systems with different space rules, the Federation and Nova. They hope to develop more of these types of space artifacts, but after more than a year of research, progress has not been smooth.

However, the topographic mapping of the main areas on the new planet has been basically completed, and the resource mapping has also been largely completed. Some important resource areas have been divided up by major military regions and powerful families. According to Yu Mingche's understanding, Yun Han's Tianwei Legion has been allocated some resource mining areas.

“Actually, if Xuanxuan wants to go, there is a way. Yun Han will be going to the Tianwei Legion’s base on the new planet to take command soon. You can join Yun Han’s Tianwei Legion and go with him,” Yu Mingche suggested.

Ning Xuan's mandatory work in the Second Legion has ended, and she can work wherever she wants from now on. However, although Lin Mo has been promoted to general, his position in the Second Legion is still not as high as Yun Han's position in the Tianwei Legion. If Ning Xuan stays in the Second Legion, she may not be able to get a spot to go to the new planet.

"I will not join the Heavenly Might Legion." Ning Xuan refused outright. She remembered that Qiao Yu and others in the Heavenly Might Legion had a lot of complaints about her because of Yun Han's enslavement.

“If you don’t join the Heavenly Might Legion but still want to go to the Nova Planet, you’ll have to look for other opportunities.” Yu Mingche knew that the extraordinary forces were after Ning Xuan, but the Nova Planet was currently restricted by the rules. Those with too much strength would be suppressed there. For a Spirit Controller like Ning Xuan, whose mental strength level was just on the edge of what the rules allowed and whose overall combat strength was very strong, it was actually the most advantageous.

Therefore, when he heard that Ning Xuan was interested in the Nova Planet, he did not stop her. On the contrary, he thought that it would be a good place for Ning Xuan to go.

Later, we can talk to Ying Yaoshi and ask him to think of a solution. To be honest, it's not difficult to get Ning Xuan there, but it's difficult to arrange for her to be accompanied and to protect her safety. This requires careful planning.

"There's no rush, Mingche. Can we sell these good things I brought back from the Nova Planet now?" Ning Xuan asked.

While leading troops in the outer star system, Ning Xuan recruited more than a dozen loyal subordinates she had rescued on the battlefield. Instead of bringing these people back to the central star, she sent them to garbage planets to develop their influence, specifically to find and cultivate promising young people. So far, these people have formed more than a dozen civilian mercenary groups of varying sizes. Ning Xuan has all the information on the members of these mercenary groups, and even the systematic training they receive is carried out according to the plan formulated by Ning Xuan.

These personnel have improved their combat effectiveness rapidly under systematic training, but they also consume more and more resources. No matter what kind of society you live in, maintaining a private armed force is an extremely expensive undertaking.

Ning Xuan still possessed many rare ores brought back from the nova, all expensive and scarce resources. She held a shimmering, emerald-green ore, roughly the size of a human head; this single piece was enough to be the grand finale at the Federation's largest auction. Yu Mingche looked at the ore, paused, and frowned slightly. "Selling it is fine; more than a year has passed, and the initial investigation is over. However, emerald-green ore is expensive because it's extremely rare, and it's a crucial material for building starships and space teleportation. In reality, the usage in both starship construction and space teleportation isn't very large. If you sell too much at once, the price will likely plummet."

Yu Mingche, who had followed Ning Xuan on her adventures on the new planet in the form of a little fox, knew exactly how much of this ore Ning Xuan possessed. He vividly remembered how awe-inspiring the valley was when he first saw it.

“Then let’s sell the other items first. I have quite a few rare medicinal herbs here, including Golden Scale Stone, Earth Fire Crystal Stone, Purple Gold Sand, and Lightning-Struck Wood. Of course, I don’t usually sell medicinal herbs. Prajna Fruit is fine. Let me organize them first, and then I’ll give you the list.” Ning Xuan patted Yu Mingche’s shoulder.

Yu Mingche now manages all of Ning Xuan's businesses, including more than a dozen auction houses. It would be most appropriate for Yu Mingche to arrange the auctions of these items.

“Yes,” Yu Mingche nodded in response.

The next day, Ning Xuan packed up the supplies to be sold and handed them over to Yu Mingche. She then took Yun Han to the underground training center of the Controllers Protection Association.

Yun Han had spent a month here and suffered unspeakable treatment. He really didn't want to get close to this place. When he learned that Ning Xuan was bringing him to the Controller Protection Association, his face turned pale.

Seeing Yun Han's pale face, Ning Xuan patted his back reassuringly, "Don't be nervous. I came here to find Qinghe. I brought you along so you could protect me. Didn't you say someone was secretly watching me?"

Hearing Ning Xuan's words, Yun Han didn't answer her, but she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yun Han couldn't completely relax. The closer he got to the underground training center, the clearer the discipline he had received became in his mind, as if those memories that had been forcibly forgotten had uncontrollably returned to his brain.

"Miss Ning, you've arrived! You just finished the ceremony and came right away. You're so trustworthy!" Chairman Wang looked overjoyed.

She was worried that Ning Xuan's promise to come and visit was just an excuse, and that she might just put it off. President Wang was thinking of shamelessly visiting again in two or three days, but unexpectedly, Ning Xuan actually came.
