In modern society, the ways of cultivation are incomplete, and no one in the cultivation world has ascended in tens of thousands of years. Of the many immortal sects that once existed, only the old-fashioned, conservative Kunlun Sect remains, with its strict rules and regulations.
To cultivate the Dao and attain immortality, one must be free of worldly desires, even more so than a monk. Even so, countless people still travel by plane and train to Kunlun Sect to seek discipleship, all in hopes of embarking on the path to immortality.
Juan Liangchen is the disciple of Kunlun Sect's founder, the immortal lord Bo Yingyu. His talent is unparalleled, and at just eighteen, he has outshone a host of prodigies who have cultivated for centuries.
Kunlun Sect has high hopes for him. The news media call him an astonishing genius who will be the first in ten thousand years to attain the Dao and ascend. His master, too, teaches him everything he knows and keeps him under strict discipline.
But Juan Liangchen has something to say: Stop putting so much pressure on him.
Juan Liangchen has a secret: he actually has a System, and the path he cultivates is the Way of Dual Cultivation. The System's mission is to have him attain the Dao and ascend through the art of dual cultivation.
What obedient disciple, always following his master's commands? What inheritor of the same tradition, untouched by worldly pleasures?
To complete the System's sign-in missions, he privately excels at drinking, dancing, and reading adult fiction!
Recently, the System's missions have become absurd:
[Check-in Location: Bo Yingyu's bed]
[Check-in Mission: Casually show Bo Yingyu the begonia flower tattoo sticker on your shoulder]
[Check-in Mission: Make Bo Yingyu's gaze linger on your legs for more than thirty seconds]
[Check-in Mission: Drag Bo Yingyu to a bar for some dancing]
Juan Liangchen has had enough. "If you want my master to expel me from the sect, just say so!"
Secretly cultivating the Way of Dual Cultivation among a whole crowd of ice blocks was already hard enough. Now the System is giving him missions on hell mode.
He's no animal. He'd never do something like that to his own master!

Bo Yingyu is reserved, cold, and impeccably self-disciplined. He always wears flowing white robes, with his ink-black hair tied high, and possesses the beauty of a heavenly immortal.
He has lived free of worldly desires for thousands of years. Nothing can stir his emotions.
But his disciple is clearly an exception.
Juan Liangchen is supposed to be cultivating the Frost Sword Dao, but the more he cultivates, the more something seems off.
He grows more slender, his features more striking, the inexplicable fragrance around him more noticeable, and his clothes more and more carelessly worn. When he swings his sword, he looks like he might fall into anyone's arms at any moment.
Looking at the other elders' disciples, all stiff and cold, with serious faces even when using their phones, and then at his own soft, dewy disciple, who smiles like a flower, Bo Yingyu falls into his first deep contemplation in many years.
Is there something wrong with the way he has been teaching him?
Under the influence of the Way of Dual Cultivation, Juan Liangchen notices that the people around him are acting strangely.
His usually unsmiling senior brother invites him to admire the moon on the mountain behind the sect. His arrogant junior brother brings him flowers every day. Even his uncle keeps finding excuses to visit his master and bring him gifts, not to mention the other sect disciples, who are all so enthusiastic.
The only person who makes Juan Liangchen feel safe is his dear master.
The immortal lord Yingyu, who never accepts interviews, agrees to one and publicly orders everyone to keep their filthy hands off his disciple.
Juan Liangchen is moved and clutches his chest. Waah, how can there be such a wonderful master in the world? Master, I'm so sorry. Once I attain the Dao, I promise I won't do those indecent things to you anymore.
Then, right before he is about to attain the Dao, Juan Liangchen grows frantic as he runs around trying to figure out the [Dual Cultivation] mission.
He turns around, and his master pins him against the wall and kisses him fiercely, his handsome face as chaste as an immortal who has gone ten lifetimes without a partner.
Juan Liangchen: ?!!!

* The bottom isn't a sweet, delicate type. He's actually a little eccentric, and very powerful
* This isn't traditional cultivation. Just read it as a slice-of-life romance. The author just can't resist a master-disciple romance with an older top.
