Chapter 178 The Strongest Spirit Farmer of the Farming Sect

Jian Ning saw her message and was happy for her.

The path from idol to actress is not easy. She was able to get a role in a big production by director Zeng before, and now she can play the second female lead.

This is very lucky for a small-time actor without any financial backing.

Zhang Nan quickly replied with another message.

"The director thought my face was too chubby and not photogenic, so he told me to control my diet for a while. Now I can only eat grass again. How awful."

Jian Ning also knows the director of this show.

Xu Wei is known in the industry for his obsession with appearances; no one who appears in his productions is unattractive, and he is extremely strict about the physical appearance of his actors.

Jian Ning refused to accept unspoken rules, and when she couldn't get many roles, Director Xu gave her several chances.

Although he mostly played minor supporting roles, several memorable scenes that went viral came from this director, earning him a following among fans who admire his acting skills.

Jian Ning was quite grateful to him.

The filming period was truly painful; I had to eat grass every day.

She typed to comfort Nan Nan, saying, "When you come back from filming, I'll make sure you get some nourishment."

Zhang Nan replied with a 60-second voice message.

"Okay, okay, then I want to eat ginger duck, chopped chili fish, poached chicken, braised pork, and I also want to eat taro and pork ribs, and stewed tofu with pickled cabbage and glass noodles..."

A sixty-second voice message is like a super long menu.

That's a really big appetite.

Jian Ning listened patiently to the last word.

She chuckled and replied, "Okay, I'll make them all for you when you get back."

The two chatted for a while longer before Jian Ning urged her to go to sleep.

After all, once filming starts, there might be night shoots to do, so there won't be enough time to rest.

After ending the chat, Jian Ning took a refreshing hot shower.

The soybeans in her hand were scattered on the ground and turned into an adorable soybean person. The dutiful 'servant DouDou' picked up a hairdryer and gently dried her hair.

Although she possessed the Cleansing Technique, Jian Ning had been busy all day.

A hot shower can wash away the fatigue of the day.

While drying her hair, she decided to sort through the newly acquired mission reward, "Low-Cost Refining Guide," in her mind.

Open the "Low-Cost Refining Guide" for the most basic introduction to refining.

Jian Ning has been catching up on a lot of cultivation novels lately, and has also gained some knowledge of weapon crafting.

Refining refers to cultivators using spiritual fire, spiritual materials, and formations to forge magical artifacts imbued with spiritual energy.

This book, "Low-Cost Crafting Guide," provides many seemingly inexpensive and practical methods for forging magical artifacts.

For example, a basic frost hairpin is a plain silver hairpin with plum blossom patterns engraved on the body and a translucent blue bead hanging from the top.

The hairpin may look unremarkable, but it has decent attack power, capable of condensing frost into blades to freeze targets from a distance.

More complex ones include flying swords, storage bags, and flying boats.

If Jian Ning wants to create a flying version of a motorhome, she can learn from the forging method of this flying boat.

When she selected the flying boat in her mind, the necessary spiritual materials automatically appeared: Heavenly Mystery Crystal (a rare spatial material used to stabilize the internal space of magical artifacts), Flying Shuttle Bone (the skeleton of flying demonic beasts, used for power skeletons)...

A series of spiritual materials, which don't look like things that Jian Ning could get her hands on right now.

She sighed in disappointment, but still opened the forging process of the flying boat to learn about it in advance.

This weapon-forging guide is not simply a book; once opened, it's like a video recording of forging processes made using a special magical artifact.

In the scene, the fire in the furnace is churning.

The man stood before the furnace, his long black hair tied up with a jade hairpin. He wore only a loose black robe, the front half-open, revealing his well-defined chest muscles and wheat-colored skin glistening with a thin layer of sweat.

He held a forging hammer, his powerful arms pounding the spirit bone in his hands again and again.

His muscles rippled with his movements and breathing, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, like a giant python hidden in a mysterious mountain range.

He had an upright posture, and his face was as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe. He was a natural-looking man, and his eyes and movements were full of wildness.

Jian Ning was engrossed in watching.

This serious weapon-forging guide actually contains such a wonderful thing!
Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds rang out on the glass.

Jian Ning snapped out of her thoughts, got up, and walked to the window. Pushing open the glass, she saw the late-night visitor knocking on the pane.

The owl, its round eyes darting around, pushed the magpie, which it had been holding under its claws, toward her.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, the gift I gave you has run away again. This owl has caught it for you.

It proudly held its little head high, its face practically screaming: Praise me!

Jian Ning looked at the magpie with its feathers already ruffled under the owl's claws, and seemed to see the word "misery" in its face.

The magpie screamed in protest.

"Chirp~"

The cries of resistance were shrill and weak, suggesting that they had already resisted many times along the way, all to no avail.

The owl flapped its wing.

The magpie instantly became as quiet as a chicken and behaved itself.

Jian Ning tried to persuade the owl: "Thank you for the gift. Let Xiao Xi leave. Actually, I don't really like keeping a bird."

The owl stubbornly repeated the same excuse as before.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, you need it.

The magpie, its feathers ruffled, heard Jian Ning say, "Actually, I don't really like keeping a bird," and interpreted it as, "I don't like keeping birds."

That means you don't like it.

The magpie struggled to emerge from under the owl's claws, shook its little head, and used its wings to smooth the messy feathers on its head, making its entire body feathers fluffy and smooth.

His tone was arrogant.

"Chirp chirp~" This magpie is so beautiful, why don't you like her?

Jian Ning: ? (Question mark face)

The magpie chirped to itself, showing off its singing voice, and then flapped its wings, performing a bird dance.

"Chirp chirp~" Admit it, you're also fascinated by this magpie.

Jian Ning: "..."

"Um...yes, fascinated."

She couldn't bear to discourage the little guy's confidence in the end, so she chimed in with a comment.

The magpie, having received approval, sang even more joyfully, its voice booming.

A few seconds later, the cheerful singing came to an abrupt end.

The owl couldn't take it anymore.

He shoved it to the ground and rubbed it against the ground, then politely said goodbye to Jian Ning.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, this owl is leaving, goodbye.

Jian Ning waved her hand.

"See you."

The owl turned and left, its graceful figure quickly disappearing into the night.

The suppressed magpie was freed and flew into Jian Ning's bedroom, finally hovering on the clothes rack next to her.

"Chirp chirp~" Alright, since you like this magpie so much, then this magpie will not leave from now on.

Jian Ning didn't expose the fact that it wanted to leave, but was always caught and brought back by the enthusiastic owl.

Although she didn't know what use raising a magpie would be.

Disturbed like this, she lost all interest in continuing her research on weapon crafting.

These materials for refining weapons are just like spirit stones; they leave her confused, so she simply gives up for now.

Jian Ning lay in bed and opened her phone to browse the news.

We've seen another new move by Country C: suspending the soybean delivery qualifications of some companies to China.

Just then, the system suddenly appeared.

[Spirit beans are the foundation of all food, yet this tiny eagle dares to use them to threaten us, attempting to strangle the lifeline of our Chinese Immortal Realm. As the strongest spirit farmer of the Farming Sect, why don't you establish the prestige of Chinese spirit plants and eliminate the hindrance of external threats?]
