   - First Book [Screen-licking] Story Background: The story is set in a fantasy world, primarily featuring the Qingyang Sword Sect. The Qingyang Sword Sect has thirty-six peaks, and the Starfall Peak, managed by the protagonist, once ranked thirteenth with tens of thousands of disciples, possessing the potential to break into the top ten. However, due to subsequent events, its ranking rapidly declined to thirty-third. - Main Plot: The protagonist, Lin Xuan, transmigrates to the fantasy world and becomes the peak master of the Starfall Peak of the Qingyang Sword Sect. His most prized disciple, Nangong Yaoyue, betrays the sect while on a training expedition, accepting an invitation from the Palace Master of Yaochi Heavenly Palace. This causes Lin Xuan to suffer a backlash and fall when breaking through his cultivation realm, leading to the decline of Starfall Peak and the continuous departure of disciples. However, after his personal disciple betrays the sect, Lin Xuan awakens the "Disciple-Giving Return System," embarking on a new journey. Subsequent events may include rebuilding Starfall Peak, using the system to cultivate powerful disciples, and clashing with forces that betrayed him in the past. - Core Setting: The core setting is the "Disciple-Giving Return System," where Lin Xuan receives a high return for the resources he provides to his disciples. For example, the system's features, such as "Investing in Phoenix True Blood to regain the Innate Primordial Sword Body; Investing in the Profound True Technique to regain the Azure Emperor Scripture," allow the protagonist to quickly accumulate resources and strength, catering to readers' desire for the protagonist's rapid growth. - Style and Audience: The book's style is described as "recruiting disciples + building a sect + disciple training + exhilarating story + decisive action." It releases a sense of exhilaration through the protagonist's rise to power and the system's reward system, and attracts readers who enjoy fantasy sect-building novels with its diverse plots including sect management and disciple training.
