Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system



Currently, Wang Ming, Bai Lingxi, and Shi Yu stood amidst a massive crowd of new Outer Court Disciples, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder.

"Hey, have you heard the rumors? Is it true that the Sect Leader is going to grace us with his presence?" asked a disciple, excitement lacing his voice.

"Are you truly so forgetful? Didn't the elder at the residency hall inform you that both the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder will be making an appearance? They are here to elucidate a few crucial rules and deliver a speech," another new disciple chimed in, his tone filled with certainty.

"I've heard that both the Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader have reached the  Golden Core Realm," shared a third disciple, admiration evident in his voice.

"They are truly worthy of our admiration. I aspire to one day cultivate and strengthen myself to reach their power level," another disciple expressed, his tone filled with hope and determination.

Amidst the bustling crowd, a multitude of conversations resonated among the disciples, each brimming with excitement, anticipation, and aspirations for their own cultivation journey.

After some time, two figures emerged through a teleportation portal, capturing the attention of the crowd and hushing their excited murmurs.

"Welcome, new disciples, to the esteemed Yang-Yin Sect. I am Jiang Hong, the Sect Leader, and standing beside me is our esteemed Supreme Elder, Lei Ping," Jiang Hong's voice boomed, commanding the attention of every disciple present.

"Judging by your eagerness, it is clear that many of you are impatient to embark on your exploration of the sect. Therefore, I shall not prolong this gathering, but I must inform you of the reason behind your assembly. Typically, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder do not make appearances like this, but this occasion calls for it," Jiang Hong declared, his tone serious and resolute.

"As you are aware, the Yang-Yin Sect is renowned for its Dual Cultivation practices. However, due to a competition announced by the royal family, we have made the unprecedented decision to establish a separate branch within the sect for non-Dual Cultivators. I understand that this arrangement has sparked discontent among some of our older disciples, and the newly admitted non-Dual Cultivators might harbor biases against Dual Cultivators. I would like to remind all of you once again that the essence of our sect lies in Dual Cultivation," Jiang Hong continued, his words carrying weight.

"I hereby caution the older disciples against causing any trouble with the non-Dual Cultivators. Should you wish to engage in combat, you may apply to participate in the fighting ring. However, any disturbances or conflicts outside of authorized arenas will not be tolerated, and the Disciplinary Hall will take swift action to confine those who defy this warning," the Sect Leader asserted, his cultivation aura seeping out, causing the disciples who entertained rebellious thoughts to stiffen and reconsider their choices but of course there were some who scoffed at his warning 

"Alright, all of you may now disperse," the Supreme Elder, Lei Ping, addressed the disciples as they gradually dispersed. "I suggest you visit the mission hall before proceeding to your designated residencies. An elder will be present there to explain the workings of our mission system."

Once the disciples had vanished from their view, Lei Ping turned to Jiang Hong, a contemplative expression on his face. "You know, not all of the disciples will obediently follow your orders," he remarked.

Jiang Hong responded calmly, his voice carrying a sense of assurance. "I am well aware of that," he acknowledged.

Curiosity gleamed in Lei Ping's eyes as he probed further. "So, are you planning to imprison anyone who dares to cause conflict?"

A gentle smile curved on Jiang Hong's lips as he clarified his stance. "Of course not. I have instructed the elder in charge of the Disciplinary Hall to reserve imprisonment for those who attempt to take the lives of their fellow disciples. For minor offenses, we will opt for point deductions as a disciplinary measure."

At the Mission Hall

"This must be the place where the mission hall is located," Shi Yu observed, pointing it out to Wang Ming and Bai Lingxi, just as Elder Yen began addressing the disciples.

"Welcome, disciples. I am Elder Yen, and it is my role to guide you through the intricacies of our sect's mission system," Elder Yen greeted them.

"You can find and accept all kinds of missions at the Mission Hall. Every mission inside the Mission Hall are requests from the people in the outside world, so you will obtain more than just contribution points from the sect, which is basically a little bonus from the sect," explained the sect elder.

"I should also let you know that as Outer Court disciples, you are obligated to complete at least one mission every three months, so quarterly. Failure to do so will result in punishment that is usually in the form of a fine, so you'll have to pay contribution points."

"There are a variety of missions with their own difficulties, so you can choose to do easy missions that require no skills like cleaning dishes for some restaurant or the more difficult missions that require you to hunt specific magical beasts for their materials. Of course, the harder the mission the more rewarding it will be at the end."

"However, don't chew more than you can bite, as there have been plenty of incidents that resulted in the deaths of disciples because the disciple arrogantly or ignorantly tried to challenge something they have no qualifications to even challenge."

Sometime later, the sect elder continued, "Okay, I think I have covered enough about contribution points. Now let's talk about what the sect of you as Outer Court disciples."

"First and foremost, you are not allowed to leave the sect without permission from the sect unless you are on a mission, and only Inner Court disciples and above are allowed to leave the sect as they, please. If you need to go somewhere, you must go to the Reception Hall and state your reason for leaving the sect. If the sect deems it reasonable, they will allow you to leave."

"If you are outside on a mission, you are not allowed to wander too much. If you leave the sect for too long without any accountability and for an unreasonably long amount of time, the sect will deem you as a deserter or dead and revoke your disciple status. This is mostly to prevent the Outer Court disciples from getting out of hand in the outside world. You guys are no longer mortals but Cultivators— disciples of an elite sect. Therefore, you must learn to separate yourself from the mortal world."

"If you encounter trouble with other Cultivators while you are outside, try to solve it peacefully, especially if the opposite party belongs to another elite sect. While it's very common for disciples from other sects to fight each other and our sect does not forbid fighting against others, you should know that there are people and places you cannot offend. Just keep that in mind because the Yang-Yin Sect is not invincible in this vast cultivation world."

"Alright, if you have grasped the information, you are free to depart," Elder Yen announced, signaling the end of his explanation. Wang Ming, Shi Yu, and Bai Lingxi turned to leave, ready to explore further, when a familiar voice suddenly stopped them in their tracks

" Wang Ming, I found you"
