Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

General Office.

As soon as Shen Nian entered, she saw Wang Jingxing sitting in the center.

Several researchers in white coats were standing next to him.

Shen Nian raised her eyebrows and placed the brocade pouch containing the Soul-Nourishing Wood on the table in front of Wang Jingxing.

Shen Nian didn't know what they wanted to do with the Soul-Nourishing Wood until she finished visiting the guild.

Not to mention the criminal ghosts and victim ghosts brought back from the field, even the ghosts in the non-biological departments of the Xuanmen Guild itself need soul-nourishing wood.

Wang Jingxing opened the brocade pouch, inside which were neatly stacked and arranged pieces of jet-black soul-nourishing wood.

He placed the Soul-Nourishing Wood on a precise weight, then deftly wrote a check according to the price agreed upon with Shen Nian and pushed it in front of her.

The researchers standing nearby stared excitedly at a small section of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, carefully lifting it up through their gloves.

"Mr. Wang, let's analyze the structure of the Soul-Nourishing Wood using a spiritual energy detector. Perhaps we can use technological means to simulate the frequency and wavelength of the Soul-Nourishing Wood and achieve a similar effect!"

Shen Nian: ...

What, what is that?

Is this even possible?

Shen Nian was amazed, gaining a profound understanding of the technology of this era for the first time.

Oh, but that's understandable, since in many human research reports, the human soul is considered to be a kind of particle/quantum structure.

Wang Jingxing asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, can you continue to provide this Soul-Nourishing Wood? How often can you provide it?"

Shen Nian: "I'll refine another batch when I have time. I refined these Soul-Nourishing Wood a long time ago."

The researchers standing nearby stared wide-eyed at Shen Nian: "Did you make this yourself?"

Shen Nian replied, "It's quite simple. Actually, I can also refine pills."

"...Alchemy? Isn't that something that only exists in legends?"

Nowadays, almost no sects in the Xuanmen (mystical arts) know how to refine pills.

Most people believe that pills are actually Chinese medicine made into pills, and are essentially medicines. There are no such things as elixirs or magic pills.

Shen Nian: "...Yes."

She felt around in her pocket, casually pulled out a bottle of low-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, and handed it over.

In a sense, some of these people's understanding of elixirs is correct.

Alchemy does indeed require various rare and precious herbs and medicines.

But alchemy requires more than just herbs.

Spiritual power, talismans, cultivation level... none of them can be missing.

The elixir contains more of a miniature version of the will of Heaven.

Spirit Gathering Pill, Foundation Building Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, Grain Abstinence Pill...

Furthermore, the golden core within a cultivator's body and the demon core within a demon cultivator's body are both the result of refining the laws of Heaven.

However, even if she said these things, these people might not be able to understand them.

Shen Nian sighed almost imperceptibly.

After receiving the low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, the researchers began to discuss it intently.

One of them asked what the effect of this elixir was.

Shen Nian said, "After taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, the meridians and dantian throughout the body can gather relatively dense and pure spiritual energy, which helps with cultivation."

However, this is only a low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, which is only useful for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage will not benefit much from taking the Spirit Gathering Pill.

"This bottle of pills is for you. You can decide how to distribute them."

Shen Nian was also very curious whether there were still any cultivators in the Xuanmen sect today who were truly talented enough to embark on the path of immortality.

If so, then after taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, his cultivation level should at least have increased to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage or higher.

After she finished speaking, even Wang Jingxing's gaze towards the bottle of pills became more intense.

Do elixirs that can enhance cultivation levels really exist in the world?

Just who exactly is this Shen Nian?

The look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Nian again was filled with deep awe.

"Fellow Daoist Shen... would you be willing to use this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"no."

Shen Nian shook her head and refused.

Soul-Nourishing Wood is a trivial matter; it's something you can easily make yourself.

But pills... she's not a real pill cultivator, so how could she have the time to refine pills for this group of people whose quality is practically useless every day?

Are you bored?

Moreover, if these people are not talented enough, consuming more elixirs and medicines would be a waste.

Moreover, the Spirit Gathering Talisman has the same effect.

"You guys take your time studying it, I'll be going now."

Although Wang Jingxing was unwilling for her to leave like this, he couldn't force her to stay, so he could only get up and personally see her off from the guild.

Finally, Wang Jingxing said sincerely, "If Fellow Daoist Shen needs any help in the future, just give me a call."

"Although we old folks have limited expertise in metaphysics, far inferior to Fellow Daoist Shen, we can still offer you many conveniences in various ways."

Oh wow, is this a way to give her special privileges and backdoors?

Although Shen Nian is not short of money and no one dares to cause her trouble, she still thanked Wang Jingxing for his kindness.

Back at Tiannan Mountain, Gu Yuncheng was drawing talismans based on the ones she had left behind.

Seeing that he had almost finished drawing, Shen Nian said, "Starting today, you will begin to train your body."

Although Gu Yuncheng is not a physical cultivator, those who cultivate the Dao still need to temper their physique.

She reached out and pulled out a peach wood sword, casually twirled it, and began teaching Gu Yuncheng the most basic sword moves.

"Every morning you have to run ten laps around Tiannan Mountain, and then practice these sword techniques."

"This afternoon, we'll practice talismans and incantations."

"I'll be live-streaming tonight, you can watch along and practice divination techniques. I'll teach you the most basic Nine Palaces Flying Star technique."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuncheng felt his vision go black, realizing he was about to perish before achieving his ultimate goal.

"Of course, I'll give you the weekend off. I'm not that heartless."

Gu Yuncheng: ...

Gu Yuncheng practiced swordsmanship for half a day and finally learned the basic sword moves.

After dinner, Shen Nian started her live stream as usual.

Even after two days without a live fortune telling session, the fans in the live stream were incredibly enthusiastic.

Master Shen is finally broadcasting!! Hooray!!

[A long-awaited connection! Ah! Can you please hit me?! Please hit me!]

Wait a minute, what kind of indecent things are you saying upstairs?!

[Hahahaha, whatever, making a wish!]

Shen Nian raised her hand and selected the first viewer to connect.

A beautiful and alluring face appeared in Shen Nian's live stream.

The entire live stream room fell into an eerie silence.

then……

Everyone in the live stream room went wild.

Pei Xiana!!!

It's actually Chinese superstar Pei Xiana!!!

Throughout China, from grandparents to little kids, regardless of age or gender, there is no one who doesn't recognize Pei Xiana.

This actress started as a child star and starred in a masterpiece by an internationally renowned director at a very young age, which made her an instant sensation.

Unlike other child stars who either grew up to be less attractive, left the film and television industry, or failed to secure good opportunities after adulthood and faded into obscurity.

The internationally renowned director entrusted the role of Pei Xiana, who had poured her heart and soul into creating one of his masterpieces, to be played by the adult Pei Xiana. He even stated that the role was prepared for Pei Xiana and that he had been waiting for her to come of age and participate in it.

Of course, Pei Xiana lived up to expectations and became an instant hit, rising to the ranks of top-tier actresses.

Over the years, almost all the best scripts and production teams in the entertainment industry have served Bae Hana.

What's even more amazing is that whatever Pei Xiana acts in becomes a hit; people in the industry say she's born to bring popularity.

They are destined for great fame and a place in the film and television industry.

[Mom, I met my idol!]

【Aa ...

Goddess, goddess, goddess!!

[Hello everyone, this is my wife, no arguments allowed.]

The comments section has gone completely crazy.

Shen Nian remained indifferent throughout, seemingly unconcerned whether the other party was an unknown or a superstar.

"What do you want to calculate?"
