"System! Open the rewards for elder recruitment." Ning Qi commanded as he saw that is still a bundle.

[Ding! The rewards package is opening... Two divine-grade comprehension pills and elder benefits are awarded.]

Ning Qi quickly opened the pills to read the pill descriptions and learn about their uses. Even though he already guessed its use.

[ Divine Grade Comprehension Pill:

Able to increase the user's comprehension to a divine level for an entire day. This reward is multiplied by five times the comprehension ability of First Elder Ning Jing (5 * First Elders' ability).

Restriction: Only available to the Sect Master.]

"Damn! That's a timely reward for training in my techniques, which I desperately needed."

Ning Qi exclaimed with happiness, confusing all the members, who were concentrating on their techniques.

"Brother! What reward? Are you not going to share it with me?"

Ning Jing asked as she put down the astral qi technique with stars flashing in her eyes.

"Nothing! It's not going to help you. Just concentrate on your cultivation, and make sure to read and follow Nangong Xu's instructions properly."

Ning Qi said as he rolled his eyes at her. Ning Jing curled her lips into 'pig lips' with a disappointed expression, making Nangong Xu sigh at this elder, who is not putting proper effort into this.

[Ding! The reward is based on the First Elder, and it's just the host's luck.]

The system reminded Ning Qi once more as if to tell him it wasn't a trick to give him those pills. Ning Qi also nodded his head as though he understood what it was trying to imply.

"System! How long will it take to train the divine strengthening techniques to the second level for Jing?"

Ning Qi asked as he felt that his sister was going to need much less time than all of them. But he also wants to see how much this pill is going to help him.

[Ding! The first elder needs around three hours to reach the first level of the divine strengthening technique. Either the host or other disciples needed at least ten hours to reach it. According to the system's preliminary calculations, the host will reach the second level in about a month. The First Elder's comprehension will allow her to reach it in about ten days.

The system said, making Ning Qi nod his head. But just as he was about to ask more questions, the system again said something that made Ning Qi almost fall from his chair.

[Ding! But from the system analysis, the First Elder is childish and may not have enough pain tolerance to do all those refinings.]

"Nah! You are wrong about this one system. My sister may look and act like that on the outside, and even her character is like that externally. But internally, she is a kind of stubborn, extremely competitive, and emotionally attached person."

Ning Qi stated that he knows her better than anyone else in the world. Not even their parents, nor her bestie probably know her the most.

Whenever she is sad, happy, or even angry, she has never hidden anything in front of him. She always makes sure to recount everything she feels about everything every time they meet or talk.

Just thinking about that made Ning Qi feel emotions well up, and he opened his eyes to look at his sister reading the technique with gentleness in his eyes.

Ning Jing also felt that her brother was maybe looking at her, she lifted her head and looked at him before inquiring with a questioning nod and a smile on her face, to which Ning Qi simply shook his head before closing his eyes to continue.

"System! That means I just need around 2 days to entirely reach the second level in the divine strengthening technique if I use these two pills straight away, right?"

[Ding! The host has already reduced the main part of the technique with much effort. So the host probably only needs to use one pill to completely reach the second level in the divine strengthening technique, depending on the host's readiness to take the pain. And Host may even have extra spare time to train in other techniques.]

The system replied, surprising Ning Qi with joy. But just the thought of that pain made his teeth chatter automatically.

"Hm! I just need to endure it nine times, and I will have enough strength to protect the people around me. A bit of pain for a day is worth the gain in my strength."

Ning Qi reminded himself, and he also decided to use the pill as soon as things with today's recruitment are done.

Finally deciding on that, Ning Qi looked at the Elder Benefit rewards, before opening it.

[Elder Benefits: As soon as the elder reaches the first level in the Qi refining cultivation technique. One-third of the Sect Master's cultivation will be awarded to them.

Effect: Permanent.

Note: This package includes a special reward for the sect's First Elder as a welcome gift for joining the sect.

Special Reward (only applicable for the first elder): 10 free body stats.]

"OMG! The benefit of the elder is a bit too powerful, isn't it?"

Ning Qi exclaimed as soon as he saw those rewards. But he didn't make a commotion like last time, not wanting to disturb their cultivation anymore.

"Doesn't that make Jing reach the foundation establishment realm instantly, system?"

Ning Qi was quite bewildered by the way this cultivation works.

[Ding! It is, as the host guesses. But not only the elders will benefit from this rule. Even the host reaps much better benefits from elders. Elders are the ones that are the next most powerful beings in a sect after the sect master, and as such, the system provides them with better benefits than disciples. Also, their responsibilities will increase as the sect grows. But System is unable to help the host with multiple elders at the moment with the current rank of the sect, and that is also one of the reasons for the restriction on the next elder recruitment.]

The system slowly explained itself, but Ning Qi felt that the system was kind of providing reasons for its 'Inability' to 'raise' many elders currently.

But Ning Qi soon shook his head, as another foundation establishment realm cultivator with a second-level divine strengthening technique was already way good enough for their sect with just five disciples, or maybe a sixth disciple soon.

"System! How long will it take to reach the divine strengthening technique at the third level with my comprehensive talent?"

Ning Qi asked, as he already knew he was going to reach the second level very soon. He just wants to see how long he will need to train to reach that level, and if it's possible, he will utilize the remaining time in the first pill to train it or go for the Endless Fist Technique.

Ning Qi waited patiently as the system didn't reply to him immediately.

[Ding! The host, with normal effort, can reach the third level after training for two years. If the host works hard enough, as you did last time, host can complete the task in one and a half years.]

"Damn! Even Jing needs to put in six months of effort to reach the third level. That means I need around 35 to 40 of these pills to reach the third level. Not to mention, where the heck can I even get these pills?"

Ning Qi calculated for some time before coming to a conclusion. He understood that the third level was a bit far away from him right now, and he also felt he needed to put in his real 'efforts' to reach it, unlike this lucky help.

He soon shook his head to shake away those thoughts. He just decided to firmly put all his efforts into reaching the third level as soon as possible.

Ning Qi then looked at the disciples, who were fully concentrated on their efforts, before closing his eyes to start his cultivation of the divine strengthening technique.

[Ding! The system detects that the first elder Ning Jing has been successfully breaking through to Qi refining realm level 1, and the host is rewarded with a 600% cultivation bonus.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Foundation establishment realm level 5.]

A sudden notification from the system came, just as he was concentrating on his cultivation didn't make him angry. Instead, they made his smile grow instantly. But he is pretty surprised by the fact that it has not even been an hour since his sister started cultivating.
