(Spirit Entropy Reconstruction) Lin Yan, a modern materials science engineer, transmigrates to the cultivation world when a superconductivity experiment explodes. He finds himself in the body of an outer sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect who was ambushed by his fellow disciples. The miniature spectrometer he brought with him becomes his key to breaking through impossible situations.
During a desperate escape through the Spiritless Valley, he meets A Yao, whose constitution gives her an affinity with plants, and Lao Gui, an outcast from the Tiangong Sect. Using scientific thinking to analyze the properties of spirit materials, he combines flame iron ore with superconducting materials to create a barrier-breaking crossbow, uses spirit-energy crystals to neutralize evil talismans, and even solves the mechanisms in ancient ruins. But conservative elder Wang Kun and his disciple Zhao Hao, seeking the spirit-energy core to forge the evil artifact known as the Heartburn Nail, collude with the Blackwind Stronghold to hunt him relentlessly. They even seek to control the spiritual energy and suppress the heretical practice of “scientific cultivation.”
As they follow clues deeper into the ruins, Lin Yan’s team uncovers the secret of an ancient spirit-energy civilization: the spirit entropy crisis stems from an out-of-control spirit entropy generator, and only by finding the original spirit-energy core can they repair the flow of spiritual energy. They ride a spirit-energy train through crystal veins and meet a Mechanical who guides them. Amid chaotic spirit energy and the conservative faction’s blockade, they use “ordered science” to fight back against “chaotic plunder.”
From emergency herbal remedies in the Spiritless Valley to resonance with the original core in Starfall Abyss, and finally a showdown at the generator deep within the mines, Lin Yan uses modern technology to illuminate the future of the cultivation world. As he protects his companions and resolves the crisis, he also carves out a path of redemption for the “scientific cultivator.”
