Kai watched with satisfaction as Roy delved into the newly acquired cultivation technique. The young boy's rapid comprehension and assimilation of the complex principles were a testament to his raw talent. A surge of pride washed over Kai. It seemed the system's assessment had been spot on.
As Roy became engrossed in his cultivation, Kai turned his attention to the system. "So, the rewards for recruiting disciples are tied to their talent, huh?" he mused aloud.
The system confirmed, "Correct. The more talented the disciple, the more valuable the reward."
A wave of satisfaction washed over Kai. The Supreme Mount Sect was rapidly shaping into something truly exceptional.
Remembering the promised summon, Kai accessed the system interface and initiated the process. A swirling vortex of energy materialized before him, promising the arrival of a new member for the Supreme Mount Sect.
As the vortex dissipated, a figure emerged. A young man, with an imposing stature and a cold, calculating demeanor, stepped forth. His eyes, a piercing shade of blue, held a predatory glint. A surge of spiritual energy emanated from him, confirming his cultivation level as Nascent Soul Realm.
Kai and Yun were both surprised. Another powerful individual joining their ranks was unexpected. The man bowed slightly, his voice carrying a hint of formality. "I am Kael, at your service, Master," he said.
The system's notification confirmed Kael's status as an Elder of the Supreme Mount Sect. Kai felt a mix of anticipation and apprehension. This new addition would undoubtedly reshape the dynamics of the sect.
Yun, while initially wary of Kael's cold demeanor, recognized the potential in the new elder. She extended a hand in greeting, her voice steady. "Welcome to the Supreme Mount Sect, Elder Kael," she said, her eyes filled with cautious curiosity.
Kael smiled and nodded.
Roy, watching the unfolding drama, felt a surge of excitement and apprehension.
The arrival of such powerful individuals was beyond his wildest imagination. He was determined to prove himself worthy of being in their sect.
Elara, observing the new arrival, stepped forward. "Another powerful addition to our sect," she commented, her voice laced with intrigue. "We shall have much to discuss," she added, her gaze locking with Kael's.
Kael, despite his outward composure, knelt before Kai in a gesture of respect.
His expression remained impassive, but his action clearly conveyed his understanding of Kai's position as the sect's leader. "I pledge my loyalty and strength to the Supreme Mount Sect and its Master," he declared, his voice carrying a hint of resolve.
The arrival of Kael had introduced a new dynamic to the Supreme Mount Sect. The sect was growing rapidly, and with it, the complexities of managing such a powerful group of individuals.
Kai knew that challenges lay ahead. The world beyond their mountain retreat was vast and complex, filled with both opportunities and dangers. The Supreme Mount Sect would need to be prepared for whatever storms lay on the horizon.
