After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 187 Taking the early ascension as the top priority
Jian Ning replied, "I didn't spend any money."

Chen Qian said he didn't spend any money; it was just something he did on the spur of the moment.

Of course, Jian Ning is also working on what she promised Chen Qian.

There's something about hair growth in "Alchemy from Beginner to Expert," which she had seen before, but she wasn't interested in doing it at the time.

Jian Ning never expected that even cultivators would suffer from hair loss.

Last year, she planted a lot of medicinal herbs, which grew very quickly under the blessing of the spiritual energy gathering array and magic.

Most of the ingredients for the hair growth pills can be found in the resort, except for black sesame seeds and black beans, which are not grown, but that's not a difficult thing.

She bought seeds online that would be delivered tomorrow; she just needed to plant them and use magic to accelerate their growth.

After Zhang Nan sent a message, there was no further response.

Jian Ning was busy with her own things; a large batch of strawberries in the field had ripened.

She just happened to be making some strawberry jam.

People in Wushi don't usually eat jam, but Jian Ning usually eats bread or something similar in the morning, and she thought she could also make porridge.

She didn't like the taste of plain congee; it was bland and tasteless.

Strawberry jam makes a delicious porridge; Jian Ning fell in love with it after trying it once.

Strawberry jam is very easy to make and not complicated at all.

Wash the strawberries, cut them up, sprinkle with white sugar, and let them sit for a while to allow the pectin to separate out.

While washing the strawberries, Jian Ning couldn't resist tasting two pieces and also fed some to the Border Collie and Xiao Bai who were squatting nearby.

These little guys seem to really enjoy eating.

While waiting, Jian Ning received a video call from Zhang Nan.

On the other end of the video, Zhang Nan looked no different than usual, but Jian Ning, who was observant, could still tell that her eyes were swollen, indicating that she had been crying.

Presumably, someone was afraid of embarrassing themselves, which is why they didn't dare send her the video right away.

Zhang Nan pouted and asked, "You really didn't spend any money?"

Jian Ning lay down on the sofa and slowly hummed in agreement.

"That's good. It's not worth spending money on such a small thing." Zhang Nan had calculated the cost-effectiveness; his salary for this role wasn't even enough to cover the public relations expenses. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn't worthwhile. But how did he manage to do it without spending any money?
Zhang Nan was about to ask a question.

Jian Ning beat her to it, asking first, "Nan Nan, you've been slandered so much, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Nan pursed his lips, with an expression that said, "It's no big deal," and said with a smile, "Hey~ what's the big deal? Someone's offering to pay me for black traffic, so I'll just give it to them."

"Come on, just tell me how many times you cried secretly."

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Jian Ning started to be sarcastic.

Zhang Nan gave a soft snort.

Jian Ning then said seriously, "Old Chen told me that those negative trending topics about you were created by Xia Momo's company."

Zhang Nan nodded, indignantly saying, "I knew it was her. Her company originally wanted to put someone in as the second female lead, but the director didn't agree. The second female lead role in this drama is pretty good; audiences really like the villainous character these days. Her company just wanted to put me down beforehand and boost the drama's viewership. I originally thought I was a nobody and wouldn't be noticed."

So Zhang Nan had no idea what was going on when they added scenes at the last minute.

At the time, I didn't think it was important, so there was nothing to say. In the entertainment industry, you encounter all sorts of outrageous things, so nothing seems too outrageous anymore.

Jian Ning looked at Zhang Nan, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "I don't have anything to do lately. I haven't been to Hengdian in a long time, and I miss it. I'll come to Hengdian to visit you on set tomorrow."

Zhang Nan asked worriedly, "Um, will the higher-ups let you run around like that?"

Jian Ning raised her head. "Don't worry, no problem."

The two chatted for a while longer. Zhang Nan then had to remove her makeup, wash up, and go to bed, while Jian Ning was busy continuing to make her strawberry jam.

After the video call ended, the system popped up immediately.

[Host, you should cultivate diligently day and night, making it your primary task to ascend to immortality as soon as possible.]

Jian Ning saw this and chuckled.

"Then give me some new quests and I'll get more rewards. The spiritual energy in this world is too thin, so there's not much difference between practicing more and less."

The system seemed unable to come up with anything for a long time before finally managing to say something.

Ignoring the system's advice will only lead to regret!

Jian Ning didn't know what she could possibly be at a disadvantage with.

However, when I actually suffered a loss later, I remembered what the system had said, but that's another story.
