Even a Qi Refiner Can Be a Sect Leader

Blurb:

Li Jinyao x Ling Feng

A down-and-out sect leader who gets stronger when beaten and is passionate about sect management x a cold-faced elder who beats up anyone his wife points at, and never goes against her wishes

One moment, Li Jinyao was getting promoted and a raise. The next, she had transmigrated into the leader of a shabby, obscure sect. She was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, had no money at all, and her sect was drowning in debt. The only asset she had was a small spirit mine, won at the cost of the former sect leader's life and coveted by the Biyun Sect.

She was fighting three people at the mine, getting beaten to a pulp by their Foundation Establishment cultivator and barely clinging to life, when a strange mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[Congratulations, Host, you have bound yourself to the Get-Beaten System! As a welcome gift, here's one Blood-Coagulating Pill!]

Li Jinyao: "Did working overtime give me hallucinations?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator kicked her, and her cultivation rose by 0.1%;

The Foundation Establishment cultivator punched her, and her cultivation surged by 10%;

Li Jinyao: "??? System, what kind of fighting style is this?"

System: "Congratulations, Host! The more you get beaten, the faster your cultivation grows!"

Li Jinyao: "The pain doesn't disappear, it just gets transferred?"

And so, a piece of gossip spread through the Huanyue Sect: the sect leader had gone mad and begged people to beat her up every day!

Then, on the third day of the battle for the spirit mine, Li Jinyao rose to her feet, covered in blood, as spiritual energy erupted around her.

The tenth level of Qi Refining, the eleventh, the twelfth, the thirteenth... Early Foundation Establishment... Mid Foundation Establishment...

Jiang Mo: "W-what kind of monster are you?"

Li Jinyao: "You're the monster! Your whole family are monsters! Your big sister here just happens to be good at taking a beating!"

From then on, a terrifying legend spread through the cultivation world...

Whatever you do, don't hit the leader of the Huanyue Sect!

Punch her once, and she'll break through a level!

Punch her ten times, and she'll ascend right on the spot!
