Protagonist: Ling Shuang (Snow Lotus Essence), who retains her original characteristics after transformation (healing spiritual power, pure physique, fear of pollution)
- World view:
- The hidden world of cultivation: The mountain gate is closed due to depletion of spiritual energy, making it difficult for spirits to practice
- The dark side of the city: there are "spiritual management bureaus" (spiritual energy management bureaus), underground black markets, and pseudo-scientific cultivating gangs
- Key contradiction: Modern pollution erodes spiritual power vs. Signs of spiritual energy recovery Synopsis
