Money, money, money.
I love money, and money loves me.
Our protagonist is obsessed with money.
The senior sister needs money to practice swordsmanship, so she gets sent into a secret realm to fend for herself.
The junior brother needs money to make pills. We have to approach pill-making scientifically, produce them wholesale, and build an automated alchemy industry for a new era of cultivation.
The junior sister needs money to craft artifacts, so we help her find a rich man.
The frail master needs medicinal herbs to suppress his demonic energy. We skip the middle steps and send him straight to the demon.
We bundle him up and hand him to our nemesis, making him take care of the old man.
After discovering that sword cultivators are expensive, I decisively give up the sword and take up talisman-making. As long as I can draw talismans out of thin air, it costs me nothing.
Perfect!
