[Pure fun, both are virgins]
The disciples Gu Qianche takes in keep mysteriously jumping off cliffs. The entire Chaoxian Sect is terrified, and rumors spread in private that the Mahayana Immortal Venerable has cultivated himself into a deranged state and torments his disciples until they go mad with despair and throw themselves to their deaths...
Gu Qianche doesn't care about the rumors, until a remnant soul called the Teacher Performance System attaches itself to him. From then on, he can hear the thoughts of the younger generation...
“Affinity doesn't go up, and no loot drops. Guess I'll die and start over.”
“I'm so unlucky. Why was I assigned to Gu Qianche? If I really have to cultivate on my own for a thousand years, I'll turn into a mummy before I make it!”
“I've been checking in at Gu Qianche's place every day for months, and my affinity is still at -1. I can't even.”
“This place has no future. I'll start over at Lingyun Peak. My senior sister is already the peak master's wife.”
“...” So the younger generation blamed him for doing nothing and not giving them spirit pills or immortal cultivation manuals.
Gu Qianche sent them all to the Abyss of the Mysterious Realm. Each of them had to bring back a treasure of at least Xuan rank or be expelled from the sect.
“Jing Chenxing, stay.”
Jing Chenxing was his only inner disciple. On the surface, he was cool and reserved, devoted to sword cultivation, but in reality...
He was a pay-to-win streamer. His cultivation and equipment were all bought, he was obsessed with Gu Qianche's peerless beauty, and his greatest wish was to dual cultivate with him and begin a forbidden master-disciple romance.
Although Gu Qianche didn't quite understand him, his disciple's suggestion for training the outer disciples proved remarkably effective, and their cultivation improved at an astonishing pace.
He grew increasingly pleased with this clever disciple who was one thing on the surface and another underneath.
Until one day...
His disciple put on a thin, sheer gauze robe, his cheeks faintly flushed. “Master, my cultivation is progressing too slowly... Could dual cultivation help me?”
He'd already given him his life-bound spirit ring and let him spend the treasures of heaven and earth from half the cultivation world. How could his progress still be slow?
“Did you turn off the livestream?”
He lifted his disciple's chin and kissed him. While the other man stiffened in surprise, he drew the bed curtains closed.
