In the original story, the Sword Venerable takes one final disciple and then vanishes from the plot. His name barely even comes up.
Shi Qing plans to quietly keep a low profile, but then he gets bound to the [Gossip System].
The System says: Collect and spread juicy enough gossip to exchange for cultivation, pills, and magical treasures.

"That sect leader over there pursued a female cultivator from the neighboring sect when he was young. She dumped him, and he wrote three hundred love poems about her, all hidden in the forbidden grounds behind the mountain."
"And that elder, acting all righteous now, secretly keeps a spirit pet named 'Sweetie.'"
