Chapter 3:The First Cashback Reward

Chapter 3: The First Cashback Reward

"A sect is only as strong as its disciples. If I am to dominate this world, I must raise true powerhouses."

---

The Grand Elder's Hall was now eerily silent. The corpses of the traitors lay sprawled across the floor, their blood seeping into the stone tiles. The gathered elders and disciples dared not raise their heads, still trembling from the display of power they had just witnessed.

Xiao Tian stood at the center, his aura calm but commanding.

"From this day forward, there will be no internal strife in the Heavenly Cloud Sect. We will rise again."

The elders, who had once wavered in their loyalty, now nodded furiously, their previous doubts crushed.

One of them, Elder Wu, an old yet experienced cultivator, stepped forward hesitantly. "Sect Master… what are your orders?"

Xiao Tian's eyes flickered. He had stabilized his authority, but the sect's foundation was still weak. If he wanted to dominate this world, he needed to build his disciples into true powerhouses.

At that moment, an idea struck him.

He had the Multiplier Cashback System.

If he started investing in his disciples, he would receive greater rewards.

A small smile played at his lips. "Gather all core disciples. Starting today, I will personally provide resources to enhance their cultivation."

The Awakening of Genius Disciples

Within an hour, the top twenty core disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sect had assembled before the Sect Master's Hall.

Each one was an elite among their peers, though their cultivation had stagnated due to a lack of resources. Some were barely at the Golden Core Realm, while a few had recently broken into the Nascent Soul Realm.

They knelt respectfully before Xiao Tian.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Xiao Tian observed them silently. Among them, three stood out:

Lin Qingxue – A cold yet talented sword cultivator, possessing a rare Ice Spirit Root.

Feng Yu – A fiery-tempered alchemist, capable of refining high-tier pills but lacking rare herbs.

Li Zhang – A former bandit with a brutal combat style, excelling in body refinement techniques.

They had great potential, but their growth had been limited by the sect's decline.

That would change today.

Xiao Tian spoke, his voice calm yet firm. "From now on, I will personally oversee your cultivation. Each of you will receive resources to help you break through your current limits."

The disciples' eyes widened in shock.

This was unheard of. The Sect Master himself was going to train them personally?

Xiao Tian waved his hand, and several items materialized before them—top-grade cultivation pills, spirit artifacts, and even advanced techniques.

The disciples gasped in disbelief.

"T-These are Heaven-Grade resources!" Lin Qingxue's cold facade cracked slightly as her fingers trembled.

Feng Yu's jaw dropped. "Sect Master, these are ingredients that only Imperial Alchemy Halls possess! How did you—"

Li Zhang clenched his fists in excitement. "With this, I can break through the Nascent Soul bottleneck!"

Xiao Tian remained calm, but inside, he was waiting for the true reward.

And then—

> [Ding! You have gifted disciples with top-grade cultivation resources.]

[Activating Cashback Effect: 10x Multiplier!]

A surge of golden light flashed before his eyes.

> [Congratulations! You have received:]

100 Supreme-Grade Cultivation Pills!

10 Legendary Spirit Artifacts!

5 Divine-Grade Techniques!

Xiao Tian's mind buzzed as a flood of power surged through him. He could feel his own cultivation improving simply by giving out resources.

This system… is truly heaven-defying.

The Shocked Disciples

As the disciples processed their newfound fortune, Xiao Tian maintained his composed expression.

Lin Qingxue bowed deeply. "Sect Master, I swear to master the techniques you have bestowed upon me!"

Feng Yu's hands trembled as she clutched the rare herbs. "I will refine the strongest pills for the sect!"

Li Zhang cracked his knuckles, his body already surging with new power. "I will crush any enemy that dares to oppose us!"

Xiao Tian nodded. "Good. Then let this be the first step toward the rise of the Heavenly Cloud Sect."

> [Ding! System Mission Activated!]

[Raise 10 disciples to the Nascent Soul Realm within 3 months.]

[Reward: A Divine-Grade Cultivation Art & a 50x Cashback Bonus!]

Xiao Tian's eyes gleamed.

This world wasn't ready for what was coming.
