Am I the Disciples' Portable Old Grandpa?

What happens when you transmigrate but get the wrong golden finger?

The good news: I transmigrated! And I even brought along a cultivation starter pack and a golden finger for building infrastructure!

The bad news: I transmigrated to a world of martial arts and cultivation, where the spiritual qi is so thin it makes you want to tear your hair out!

Luckily, Zhang Chengdao’s cultivation isn’t affected by the concentration of spiritual qi, and he quickly makes some progress. But as he feels the spiritual qi concentration rising year after year, he looks bewildered. This was supposed to be a world of martial arts and cultivation, so why has spiritual qi revival suddenly begun?

At least he has his beloved disciples to rely on. The trouble is, every one of them has a protagonist template, and their character tropes are more clichéd than the last...

“My eldest disciple is Chang Ping’an. Someone destroyed his life-bound sword and severed his qi channels, and he’s a hopeless do-gooder. Thankfully, he’s talented and diligent in his cultivation. I told him that whenever he gets into a fight, he should shout ‘Sword, come!’ first. It makes him look more imposing!”

“My second disciple is a princess forced into a political marriage. She’s beautiful but ruthless, the kind of wicked supporting lady guaranteed to survive until the finale. She’s even called Ruyan!”

“As for my third disciple, he doesn’t have any special background. He’s just an ordinary blind man, but he’s rich enough! His family owns a share of businesses across half of Jiangnan. With him around, we can build our sect without spending a penny. What a sweet deal!”

“Then there’s my fourth disciple, who’s a little too beautiful and sinister, is over three hundred years old, and still speaks with a thick Sichuan accent. And my fifth disciple, whose ‘pure heart’ really means ‘head full of nothing,’ and who’s obsessed with carpentry. Wait, you two don’t seem to have protagonist templates!”
