In fact, Li Fengyun was indeed harboring a misunderstanding.
Jiuzhou Era may have seen the flourishing of the Immortal Dao, but the secular moral perspectives weren't much more liberal than those in Xiangzhou today. Except for places like Qing Province, which could be considered outside the traditional sphere, areas like Central Province and Fengzhou still had relatively conservative social customs. The true flourishing was merely in the minds of people like Shang Lanfei, where the conservatives actually constituted the majority within the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
Thus, when Shang Lanfei's paper was published, it caused an uproar, especially as she brazenly attached clinical trial data at the end of her paper, indicating that she had gathered reliable raw data through numerous live experiments. This immediately drew severe criticism from traditionalists.
