A thousand years ago, demonic energy invaded the world of cultivation. The leaders of its seven major sects sacrificed themselves to seal the rift through which the demonic energy poured in, saving the world of cultivation.
Mo Xuru, sect leader of the Yundan Sect, transmigrated into the modern world. After learning a heap of math and science, she successfully established a new method of alchemy. But when she closed her eyes again while saving a child who had run into the road, she found herself back in the world of cultivation.
When Mo Xuru awoke in an ice coffin, she discovered that only five disciples remained in the Yundan Sect. The only one she recognized, her eldest disciple, was white-haired and had just thirty years left to live.

Mo Xuru tried to make her new alchemy method flourish, but her eldest disciple got dizzy and nearly fainted at the sight of the periodic table. With no other choice, she had to start with the new disciples.
But the new disciples were all neglecting their proper duties.
Her second disciple was obsessed with raising bugs. He spent all day in a pitch-black cave, skipped class every other day, and only ever listened when his bugs had chewed through the medicinal herbs again.
Her third disciple was a cat person, and this white cat was completely incompatible with Mo Xuru. Every day, it kept its eyes on the medicinal fish she was raising.
Her fourth disciple was a sword fanatic, burying himself in sword training and trying to split the heavens with one strike.
Her fifth disciple was very obedient, learning whatever Mo Xuru taught him. Unfortunately, he blew up twenty pill furnaces in ten days, and he looked about fifty percent like Mo Xuru's archenemy from her first life.

Just when Mo Xuru thought the Yundan Sect could only rely on her to restore its former glory, the Demon Realm invaded once more.
Her taciturn second disciple led tens of thousands of Demon-Eating Insects to wipe out the demons' vanguard. Her cat-loving third disciple brought an ancient divine beast, the White Tiger, to crush three great demon generals. Her obscure fourth disciple cut down a hundred thousand demons with a single sword strike.
And her fifth disciple... her fifth disciple was the Sword Immortal Xie Qingliao, the very same person who had owed her money in her past life and never paid her back!
The Yundan Sect, which had fallen from being a first-rank immortal sect to a laughingstock in the immortal world, rose to great heights overnight and became famous. Those seeking to become disciples flocked to its doors.
Disciples and their descendants who had branched off from the sect kept showing up every few days, trying to claim their ancestry.
Mo Xuru stroked her beloved pill furnace, looking dazed. She hadn't even managed to industrialize alchemy yet, and the Yundan Sect had already regained its glory?
Xie Qingliao said with righteous conviction, "How about I repay my debt with myself?"
#What do I do when my archenemy sneaks into my sect to steal its techniques?#
#My unruly disciples have all become saviors, so I can only tag along and enjoy the benefits
