Interstellar Farming: I Make Potions and Climb to the Top

Di Youlin came from the Di Family. Over a thousand years ago, the Di Family was one of the Seven Great Families who won the world-ending crisis for humanity.

Because of that achievement, the Seven Great Families formed the Elder Council, becoming the de facto rulers of the Federation.

The Seven Great Families were able to hold their seats on the Elder Council because the higher a Spirit Controller’s Level, the longer their lifespan. This gave them enough time to manage the transition between generations and cultivate the direct descendants of their families into capable individuals. Of course, there were other factors. The interstellar battlefield was never stable, and crises would erupt from time to time. Although some descendants of the Seven Great Families were failures, every generation also produced a few outstanding individuals who strove to succeed. Instead of relying on their ancestors’ merits to live a life of pleasure, they made names for themselves on the battlefield and inherited their ancestors’ resources. Thus, the lineage of each of the Seven Great Families has remained unbroken.

Compared to the other families, the Di Family’s bloodline was thin. Di Youlin’s two older brothers and one older sister had all died on the interstellar battlefield. The other children in the clan were untalented, with poor genetic bloodlines. To conceive an heir who could inherit the family’s superior bloodline, Master Di and his wife tried every method imaginable before finally succeeding in getting pregnant.

Master Di and his wife were both very powerful, and their bloodline compatibility was high. The three children born before were also exceptionally talented. Therefore, even before Di Youlin was born, he was the subject of great expectations.

Later, Di Youlin lived up to those expectations. At birth, his Spiritual Power Value was 5000 points, and his Spiritual Power Level was A-level. At age seven, he awakened a Mythical Level Companion Spirit, the Fire Phoenix, and his Spiritual Power Level rose to SS-level at the same time.

At age ten, Di Youlin’s Spiritual Power Level and Comprehensive Combat Power both rose to SSS-level. From that moment on, he entered the interstellar battlefield. From that moment on, he was invincible on the battlefield, never knowing defeat.

Because he was too young, his appearance was disguised when he went to war. Therefore, despite Emperor General’s resounding fame, few had ever seen his true face.

Unfortunately, all of that was destroyed the year he turned fifteen.

That time, a wormhole erupted, and unknown creatures spread rapidly. He led his army to the interstellar battlefield to clear them out, just as he always had. It should have been a routine battle; he had carried out such missions countless times. But that one time, Di Youlin’s spiritual power collapsed. He suddenly mutated into a monstrous half-man, half-bird creature, lost his sanity, and launched an indiscriminate attack on every living being on the battlefield. The wormhole crisis was resolved, but not a single one of the subordinates he had brought with him survived.

Master Di quickly purged the battlefield recordings and personally went to bring Di Youlin back.

Master Di brought in the Federation’s top Purification Masters, the most elite spiritual power healing masters, and the most professional Treatment Team for Di Youlin. After more than a month of treatment, Di Youlin barely regained his sanity. However, his mental state had become unstable. No one could get near him; if anyone approached, he would resist violently and retaliate.

It was then that Master Di’s wife revealed the truth.

When Di Youlin was born, two small, fleshy wings were growing on his back—a characteristic of a Half-beastman.

According to Federation law, any Half-beastman born must be sent to the Half-Beastman Tribe to be raised collectively. From that point on, the child would have no further connection to their original family. The purpose of raising them in the Half-Beastman Tribe was to brainwash them into fundamentally accepting their role as slaves.

Lady Di was already over 200 years old and had gone through immense hardship to have this child. How could she bear to send him away? How could she let a child born of noble blood become someone else’s slave?

She decided to care for the child herself, concealing his physical traits, falsifying his bloodline information, and slowly searching for a reliable solution.

Weren’t Half-beastmen able to reduce the risk of their spiritual power spiraling out of control and the danger of complete mutation just by staying near a Female Controller? Lady Di sought out several girls with high Spiritual Power Values, all of different ages, to see if any of them would be a match for Di Youlin.

Who would have known the child would grow up so fast? At just ten years old, he was sent to the battlefield under his father’s arrangement. From then on, she lived every day in constant fear.

She had originally thought that Half-beastmen only began to face various crises after turning eighteen. Who could have predicted that something would suddenly happen to her child?

She had spent vast resources to meticulously cultivate more than a dozen Controllers, all of whom had been sent to her son’s side, yet it had been completely useless.

Seeing her son’s state, Lady Di was overcome with grief. She didn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

Di Youlin’s Comprehensive Combat Power was high, and his destructive capabilities were naturally immense. With his mutation level having surpassed the critical threshold and the constant risk of him losing control, he was extremely dangerous.

Later, after much discussion and mutual compromise, Di Youlin was imprisoned in the Training Institute beneath the Controller Protection Association. After being imprisoned for three years, he suddenly approached Ning Xuan of his own volition.

Upon learning this, Master Di quickly made deals and persuaded the others to transfer Di Youlin to Ning Xuan, both as a prisoner and a slave.

Ning Xuan pinched his beautiful face. His lips, rosy and vivid, pouted slightly from her grip. His eyes, still glistening with unshed tears from the recent pain, made him look somewhat pitiful.

"I understand," Di Youlin replied softly.

"Housekeeper Yan, take him and get him acquainted with the surroundings. Arrange a room for him, preferably close to my courtyard," Ning Xuan instructed Yan Fuzhen.

Yan Fuzhen was extremely reluctant, but he had no choice but to step forward and speak to Di Youlin. ’This job is getting harder and harder,’ he thought.

With Di Youlin temporarily sent away, Ning Xuan called Lin Mo over and looked him up and down, confirming he wasn’t injured before she finally relaxed.

Yan Fuzhen had heard the rumors about Di Youlin, but Lin Mo and Chen Nan had never heard of him, nor did they know him. However, Di Youlin’s striking beauty and the immense power he displayed set off alarm bells in both their minds.

Although it was common for a Female Controller to have many Contractors, the time they had spent with Ning Xuan had caused them to develop strange feelings for her. They both wanted to be the first person Ning Xuan saw, wanted to be the one to accompany her at night, and longed for physical intimacy with her. But today, Ning Xuan had returned with another person by her side.

As for Min Wu, while they didn’t know why he had followed them here, they knew he was Miss Tang Xue’s Contractor.

Ning Xuan led the two of them back to her courtyard. Lin Mo and Chen Nan buried their unease deep inside, becoming even more gentle and attentive toward Ning Xuan. One helped her remove her outer clothes and change into loungewear, while the other adjusted the water temperature for her. Ning Xuan enjoyed their service, thinking back on the ordeal of facing the Elder Council. ’It really is more comfortable at home,’ she sighed to herself.
