The power dynamics in this world are already complex. You have the Emperor, the Hanging Mirror Division (like a secret police), the Governor (protagonist's father), and various cultivation sects. The mention of "colluding with the Demon Race" as a quick way to get arrested shows how paranoid the society is. It reminds me a bit of historical China's purges.

The laboratory system is still a bit of a mystery. Can Shen Fei go inside? Can she store things? The fact that she tested with a blade of grass and it worked suggests she has a versatile tool. But I hope there are limits or costs, otherwise the survival tension might disappear too quickly.
