I recommend "The Path of the Sect Leader" to you. It's a fantasy novel about cultivation. The main character, Qi Xiu, accidentally obtained the position of sect leader and led the weak sect to struggle. In a boundless world where the spiritual root, the natal spirit, and the common ginseng were combined into one, the sect developed and expanded in his hands, writing down a magnificent life like a dream. At the same time, there was an old man guarding the entrance of the tower, which matched the description in the question. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
