Great power not only inspires awe, but also fear.
The recent supernatural events require someone to resolve them and provide an explanation to the public. An attractive and mighty cultivator serving as a spokesperson seems like a good choice.
Shen Feixian saw this plan ahead of time and notified Song Jixing about it, to ask if she was interested in being the spokesperson.
Song Jixing thought about it and said seriously: "If I become this spokesperson, I probably won't get any more jobs afterwards. Elder Bai is actually more suitable for this role, why not ask him to do it."
Shen Feixian had an "I knew it" expression: "Junior martial sister, I just knew you like being an actor and genuinely enjoy this profession!"
"But junior martial sister, have you considered that if you reveal yourself to the outside world and let everyone know your identity, no matter what you do in the future, the spirit energy you receive will be hundreds of times more than now!" Shen Feixian said earnestly.
This was also why he deliberately brought up this matter in front of Song Jixing.
Upon hearing this, Song Jixing had a faint smile on her face: "Senior martial brother, this is artificially creating divinity, not true divinity!"
Although it was possible to skyrocket instantly, it was more likely to crash and burn.
Ever since Song Jixing stepped onto the path of cultivation, she knew she could not casually take shortcuts.
"The Heavenly Dao here seems different from ours. Junior martial sister, are you really not going to try it out?" Shen Feixian tempted, even if she had to spit it out after eating it, it would still be a gain.
"I won't try it." Deliberately creating divinity goes against her own Dao heart, and could lead to unimaginable consequences.
It's not like no one among cultivators has tried this before. Song Jixing had read about such things in the ancient records of the Scripture Pavilion.
A Buddhist cultivator deliberately went down to the mortal realm to enlighten and help mortals, getting them to create a golden body for him, constantly make offerings to him, in order to collect more faith power.
That Buddhist cultivator's cultivation indeed progressed rapidly. And it was because of his speed that his fellow sect members grew suspicious.
They secretly followed that Buddhist cultivator and found the reason.
There was no righteous condemnation in the later part of the story!
Even Buddhist cultivators who usually preached about the emptiness of the four elements neglected emptiness in their pursuit of the path to immortality.
One after another learned from him, changing their golden body every year, changing their deity every year, exploiting and harming mortals.
Later, they were struck back by karmic retribution, reduced to true emptiness.
Because there were too many disciples of that Buddhist cultivator who got into trouble back then, with their cultivation appearing and disappearing erratically, it attracted the attention of the Buddhist circle at the time. After investigating the truth of the matter, those Buddhist cultivators were all physically eliminated without exception.
Thus, no more Buddhist cultivators coveted the faith of mortals!
Although Song Jixing had not yet figured out the exact patterns behind the emergence of spirit energy, she suspected it had to do with fondness, admiration, and gratitude.
But she did not intend to follow the old path of those Buddhist cultivators.
Whatever the karmic cause and effect was meant to be, that was how it shall be. There was no need to deliberately manufacture it.
Seeing Song Jixing's determination, Shen Feixian did not try to persuade her further. He just nodded along, "It is quite suitable to have Elder Bai do it."
Bai Ling could not absorb spirit energy here, and would not be affected by the Heavenly Dao.
Bai Ling was still the dragon beloved by humans.
However, this plan was open for discussion rather than set in stone.

Before going to bed, Shen Feixian received documents about their identity information from the special liaison!
The superiors decided to issue them B-class ID cards, which were unique to outsider guests.
As for the native cultivators here, they would receive C-class ID cards for administrative purposes.
Similar to ordinary ID cards, they would have their photos and serial numbers, strings of special encrypted mathematical digits.
Different was that things like home address were not written at all, nor were age and gender.
Once issued, the two types of ID cards took effect immediately, with no need to renew them periodically.
Shen Feixian's liaison officer was called Wei Ying, a very young boy.
After sending Shen Feixian the documents, Wei Ying thoughtfully asked: "Mr. Shen, do you see anything unsatisfactory? If so, we can change it now!"
Regarding the ID card, Shen Feixian cared more about its functionality than aesthetics.
Even so, Shen Feixian did not make a decision alone: "Let me ask them first, I'll get back to you later!"
"Sure, Mr. Shen!"
Wei Ying also sent a cute cat emoticon, looking very lovely.
It was all in order to get on Shen Feixian's good side.
As for why it was a cat emoticon, Shen Feixian's avatar was this cartoon cat, and the avatars for many of his online accounts were the same cat.
After discovering this, everyone unanimously believed: Shen Feixian must like this cartoon cat.
When dealing with partners, one had to cater to their preferences.
So the cartoon cat's author immediately sold her copyright to the state, and was even rushed to draw a new set of emoticons specifically for chatting with Shen Feixian.
Would seeing his beloved cat in chat brighten his mood?
However, Shen Feixian was unaware of all this, or rather, knew but did not care.
Regarding why Shen Feixian used this avatar, it could be traced back to when he first crossed over into this world. When Shen Feixian first learned to surf the Internet and wanted to register an online account, the website forced him to upload a picture.
Left with no choice, Shen Feixian randomly found a cat picture on Song Jixing's computer and used it. For convenience, he used the same picture for subsequent accounts.
The cat picture Shen Feixian used was a small gray cartoon cat, looking a bit cute and chubby.
It was this cat that left a group of psychologists racking their brains for a long time.
Unfortunately, Shen Feixian did not feel their concern at all.
After Shen Feixian forwarded the ID card information, everyone indicated they had no objections and it was fine to just quickly produce them.
It was merely an ID card. It was good as long as they had it, no need to go overboard.
Upon receiving the reply, Wei Ying said a specialist would come over tomorrow morning to take their photos, and the ID cards would likely be issued to them by tomorrow night.
Shen Feixian was extremely appreciative of such speed, "Thanks for your hard work!"
Seeing this message, Wei Ying was very excited!
But how should he reply?
Wei Ying made a call and forwarded a screenshot to ask his superior for advice.
After looking it over, his superior praised Wei Ying and said, "Little Wei, very good! You can handle this message yourself, say whatever you want!"
"Yes, boss!"
Wei Ying agonized in front of the screen for a long while, and finally sent a "It's not hard work, just doing my job."
It seemed there was no problem with replying like that either.
-
Arriving earlier than the photography crew was the morning news.
On the morning news, the usual National-faced TV host solemnly informed the entire nation about the issuance of the new ID cards, explaining they were for special personnel!
What special personnel? Everyone was very curious!
But no one explicitly said.
