[Blurb]
Tang Yunuann retired from the Transmigration Bureau with her entire System inventory in tow, choosing a cultivation world to settle down in.
Her System thumped its chest, promising to set her up with an easygoing, adored-by-everyone identity.
But the unlucky System got the time period wrong.
The future powerhouses who would one day dominate the cultivation world were currently being chased and beaten all the way to their sect's gates.
To enjoy her retirement as soon as possible, Tang Yunuann rolled up her sleeves and decided to fast-track the powerhouses' growth:
The future Sword Sovereign, her senior apprentice-brother, was being suppressed by his weapon.
She pulled out a laser sword she'd developed in a sci-fi world. "Senior Brother, how about training with a different sword?"
The future alchemy master, her second senior apprentice-sister, couldn't afford a pill formula.
She pulled out the comprehensive guide to potions she'd written in a high-fantasy world. "Second Senior Sister, would you consider trying your hand at a different kind of brew?"
The future beast-taming master, her junior apprentice-brother, had no beast-luring grass.
She pulled out pet treats and toys she'd stocked up on in the modern world. "Junior Brother, no little animal can resist these!"...
The Qianqi Sect became a unique sight in the cultivation world:
The senior apprentice-brother carried a laser sword around, challenging people everywhere. No matter what grade their spirit swords were, he could chop them in half.
At the alchemy tournament, the second senior apprentice-sister used a mixing spoon, humming as she tossed spirit plants into the cauldron.
Wherever the junior apprentice-brother went, all kinds of spirit beasts staged elaborate collisions with him, hoping to follow him home and score some canned food...
Watching the Qianqi Sect rise, the other sects grew jealous and decided to kidnap its most useless junior apprentice-sister to use as leverage.
Sitting aboard a starship, Tang Yunuann aimed the cannons at the approaching crowd and sighed:
"Sigh, why would you pick on a pitiful, weak, adored-by-everyone girl like me...?"

Bu Jianxue had been asleep for many years when the wonderful smell of food woke him.
He followed the scent and found a woman feeding spirit beasts. The delicious aroma was coming from the metal box in her hands.
He strode over boldly. As the only sacred White Tiger in the world and the leader of all spirit beasts, he obviously deserved first dibs on such a treat.
The food tasted good enough, but this ignorant woman had mistaken him for a cat and was trying to lure him in with food so she could keep him.
...What a joke. Did he, the mighty White Tiger Divine Lord, need someone to feed him?
Bu Jianxue gave a cold laugh and turned away proudly.
The next day, a "kitten" with a white coat and tiger stripes sat outside Tang Yunuann's door, meowing and thumping the door with its tail:
"Food, please! I'm hungry!"

There's a legend in the Infinite world:
Whenever a zookeeper shows up in an instance, the death rate plummets.
When a player is about to be eaten by a monster, she'll force its mouth open and pull the player out.
Then she'll turn around and lecture the monster: "You're already overweight. You really can't eat any more!"
When a monster is about to skin a player, she'll snatch away its scissors and set the player free.
Then she'll patiently explain to the monster: "You need medicine for bald spots. Covering them up with skin won't help."
The players desperately wanted to get on her good side, but it seemed she only had eyes for animals.
As the only player whose evolution path involved becoming an animal,
Ying Shier was nominated to "seduce" the zookeeper.
Sure enough, when the zookeeper saw Ying Shier outside her window, she reached out and carried him inside.
Ying Shier was about to spread his wings confidently and show himself off when the zookeeper weighed him in her hands.
"This little bird is pretty cute, but a bit heavy..."
Ying Shier: Nonsense!
How could a guy with an eight-pack and a lean, muscular build be fat?
