System / No CP / Sect ensemble cast
The day Jiang Ling transmigrated to the cultivation world, her unreliable master was selling himself to pay for his disciple's burial and cover household expenses.
Because they were poor.
Tianxuan Sect was so poor that even sword cultivators would steer clear of it.
Jiang Ling had thought this was a cultivation and monster-fighting adventure, but it turned out to be a System cultivation adventure.
[Ding! Host Jiang Ling detected. Sect Development System activating... Activation successful.]
[Current sect level: Below average]
[Current sect population: 2, Sect Master 1, Disciple 1 (the Host herself)]
[Current mission: Recruit 1 official disciple. Please complete the mission within three days, or you will permanently give off the scent of luosifen.]
Jiang Ling: What a fragrant punishment.

To survive in the cultivation world, Jiang Ling diligently works through her sect-building KPIs.
Second Junior Brother Bai Yuheng, a sword-cultivation prodigy whose spiritual veins were destroyed and who is on the brink of death.
Third Junior Sister Qing Miao, a descendant of Shennong, whose romance-addled heart got her swindled out of all her spirit stones and left her stranded in a brothel.
Fourth Junior Brother Nangong Chen, born with a bewitching physique and sent to the leader of the Joyous Union Sect as a cultivation furnace.
Fifth Junior Brother Zhao Qian, poor, just plain poor, unable to pay the fee for a spiritual-vein test and turned away by the immortal sects.
Little Junior Sister Lingdang, the only daughter of the Demon Emperor, who ascended to the Deity Transformation stage at birth and is still sucking on a baby bottle.
Jiang Ling: I'll take them all in and raise them!
But as she raised them, things started to seem a little off.
Did her proper Second Junior Brother develop a gloomy, obsessive male ghost personality?
Did eating her Third Junior Sister's terrible cooking give him a romance-addled brain?
Was her pretty Fourth Junior Brother beating prodigies to a pulp with two giant hammers?
Did the teleportation arrays her Fifth Junior Brother set up send people straight to the afterlife? Did the soul-summoning talismans he drew always summon seductive ghosts?
Were all of Little Junior Sister's spirit pets members of the "underworld"?
Cultivators of the world: Where on earth did these five little demon spawn come from?
