(No System + not a wish-fulfillment story + multiple love interests + passionate action + revenge)
Bai Yunxiao transmigrated to the cultivation world over twenty years ago. But after helping the Wangyun Sect fight the so-called demonic path, he was forced to become the sect's expendable pawn.
Yet Bai Yunxiao not only survived, but also killed Lin Longkong, the demonic sect's leader.
Back at the Wangyun Sect, Bai Yunxiao should have been promoted to elder, but he shook his head and refused. From then on, he wanted nothing to do with such infighting.
But nothing went as he wished. The Wangyun Sect's leader sent people to cripple Bai Yunxiao's spiritual meridians.
A mysterious young alchemist appears.
So the Wangyun Sect thinks it can get away with this? If I can't absorb the world's spiritual energy through my meridians, I'll take pills instead. I'll still reach heights they could never attain.
It's a pity that Brother Wei and the little girl, as expected, civilians have to stay away from the protagonist.
