Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

" You should give up trying to recruit her. It's useless. She won't join," Lei Ping said, looking at the covetous expressions on the Peak Masters' faces. They heard her voice and looked in her direction.

"Why do you say that?" Mu Feixu asked, frowning.

"Because she has already joined Jade Peak," Lei Ping said, causing everyone's eyes to widen as they snapped their heads to look at Zhou Huxin, who was looking at them smugly.

"WHAT! JADE PEAK?!" Mu Feixu stood up in shock.

Mu Feixu's eyes widened to the size of saucers as she stared at Zhou Huxin as if she were a completely different creature. The other Peak Masters were no different.

"What? She actually managed to convince a disciple to join her peak?" exclaimed one of the elders.

"Yeah, and not just anyone—someone from the Min Family!" another Peak Master exclaimed in shock.

"No wonder she was so cheerful. But I don't understand... How did someone who gets rejected even by ordinary disciples manage to recruit someone like Min Li?" said another Peak Master in disbelief.

The reason for their shock was simple—Jade Peak had been ranked at the bottom for years and had hardly recruited any new disciples. Most of its members were older disciples. Another major reason was that Zhou Huxin was the only Peak Master who had yet to reach the Golden Core Realm, and most disciples didn't want to join someone they perceived as weak.

Zhou Huxin's eyebrow twitched as she listened to their conversation.

"You! How the hell did you manage to recruit her when even the weakest peak disciples rejected you?!" Mu Feixu asked in disbelief, equal parts curious and frustrated.

"Hehe, unlike you all, I actually pay attention to the Outer Court. You guys are just a bunch of hermits who spend all your time cultivating in seclusion and have no lives," Zhou Huxin said venomously. Everyone felt a wave of mental damage from her last remark.

'Damn, isn't my peak at risk of becoming the lowest-ranked now?' Mu Feixu thought grimly. She knew her peak's disciples were only slightly better than Zhou Huxin's, barely avoiding the bottom rank. Now, with someone from the Min Family joining Jade Peak, she was certain Min Li was anything but ordinary. Mu Feixu cursed herself for not paying attention to the Outer Court sooner.

"Hmph, at least I'm stronger than you, unlike someone who got rejected by a hundred disciples," Mu Feixu retorted with a smirk after calming her nerves.

Zhou Huxin's eyebrows twitched at the remark. It was one of the few facts that truly stung—she held the record for being rejected by at least a hundred disciples, a great humiliation. And, of course, Mu Feixu was the one who had recorded it. The only silver lining was that only the Peak Masters knew about it; if the disciples found out, her reputation would be in ruins.

"At least I'm a more beautiful woman and didn't get rejected by disciples for Dual Cultivation. You even got rejected by an Outer Court disciple! Hahaha!" Zhou Huxin shot back.

"You bitch! That was when I was an Outer Court disciple!" Mu Feixu snapped, veins bulging on her forehead. The Peak Masters started sweating bullets, feeling like the two were about to break into a fight.

"Alright, enough," Jiang Hong intervened, seeing the situation escalating.

"Sigh, why do you two argue every time you meet?" Lei Ping asked with a helpless sigh. The two women, on the other hand, simply snorted and looked away from each other.

Just then, everyone turned back to the large screen, which began lighting up one after another, displaying images of excited disciples.

"They look excited," one of the Peak Masters commented.

"Heh, I remember my reaction was the same as theirs when I first used the capsules," Qin Mu chuckled, reminiscing about his first time using the facility.

Hmm, looks like Disciple Wang Ming and his partners aren't in the same place, Jiang Hong thought, raising an eyebrow as he noticed one of the screens displaying Bai Lingxi, Luo Li, and Shi Yu walking in the starting area, while another screen showed Wang Ming alone.

"Sect Master, which one is Min Li?" Qin Mu asked. The others looked a bit embarrassed, realizing they had been so eager to recruit her despite not even knowing what she looked like.

"There, look," Jiang Hong said in a calm voice as she pointed toward one of the screens.

The Peak Masters turned their eyes to the screen and saw a beautiful woman looking around the beginner city. They raised an eyebrow when they noticed her acting intimately with a handsome man. Normally, members of top families were cold toward outsiders, so seeing such a warm interaction surprised them. Moreover, they could tell the man was from the Dual Cultivation department, which the non-Dual Cultivation sects typically looked down upon.

'Is she seducing Disciple Wang Ming?' Zhou Huxin raised an eyebrow as she saw Min Li wink at him.

They watched silently as the pair visited various shops before leaving the beginner area.

"Hmm, Sect Master, who is that male disciple? I don't recognize him," Qin Mu asked, sensing something odd about him.

"Yes, Sect Master. Looking at the scene, it seems like Disciple Min Li was the one obeying the other disciple," Mu Feixu added curiously. The Peak Masters had also noticed that Min Li seemed unusually submissive. This puzzled them—someone from a great family submitting to an ordinary disciple was absurd. Members of such powerful families were known for their immense pride.

"Hmm, you guys really don't know, do you?" Lei Ping said in a teasing voice.

"Know what?" Qin Mu asked, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"This disciple's name is Wang Ming, and let me tell you, he is even more monstrous than Disciple Min Li," Jiang Hong said, causing the Peak Masters' eyes to narrow.

"Oh? Such high praise from you. What's so special about him, Sect Master?" Qin Mu asked.

"Hehe, for starters, he's under fifty years old, and his cultivation is already at the 10th Stage of the Golden Core Realm," Jiang Hong said in a mischievous tone.

"!!!!!!"
