Traditional xuanhuan cultivation, like "Zhu Xian". Most importantly, the writing has to be strong. The male lead shouldn't be too goofy; preferably cold on the outside, warm on the inside. Angst is fine, but the writing must be good. The writing must be good!!!

Upon spitting it out, he discovered, miraculously, a stone had appeared! From one stone before, there were now two. After examining the coin, Mo Fan had a sudden thought and retrieved it from his mind. Then, he opened his mouth and put one of the stones in front of him into his mouth as well. He decided to conduct another experiment to see if it was as he expected. So, he waited quietly with the milky-white stone in his mouth, calculating the time in his mind. About fifteen minutes later, the coin in his mind indeed emitted a faint golden glow again, and then Mo Fan felt something else appear in his mouth!
