The Unspirited's Otherworldly Research Record

Lin Yan, a PhD in materials science from Earth, is transported to the mortal realm of Qingyang City in the Xuan Yan Realm after a lab accident. He becomes a collateral descendant of a local family. Tested as having no spiritual root—lacking any structure to channel qi—he is deemed useless and expelled, struggling at the bottom of society. Without cultivation talent, he relies on scientific thinking, a portable spectral analyzer, and a research notebook. Calm and rational, he believes qi, techniques, and artifacts are unexplained physical phenomena, determined to deconstruct this world through science.
