(Third update! Third update!)
Ye Xing's wish was fulfilled and he became a disciple of the Falling Star Sect.
Moreover, he was the first in the selection and was rewarded with a Star Gathering Pill and three supreme grade Star Accumulating Pills.
Even though he was only an outer disciple who wasn't valued by the Falling Star Sect, it was still his first step into the sect. Ye Xing believed that it wouldn't be long before he broke through to the Star Spiral Realm and became an inner disciple who would be valued and nurtured by the sect.
After being accepted as an Outer Disciple of the Falling Star Sect, Ye Xing did not speak to Zi Shan Hou again. Under the lead of the Outer Disciple Elder Yang Xuan and other sect members, he entered the mountain peak where the Outer Disciple of the Falling Star Sect was located.
There were more than a thousand disciples in the outer disciples of the Falling Star Sect. They were divided into three mountain peaks, the First Peak, Second Peak, and Third Peak.
The Falling Star Sect would recruit outer disciples every three years. If an outer disciple could break through to the Star Vortex Realm, he would be promoted to an inner disciple. If he couldn't, he would remain an outer disciple.
However, the sect obviously wouldn't allow an outer disciple to retire in the sect. If he couldn't become a Martial Saint within nine years, he would have to pack his things and return home. Of course, this wasn't expelling him from the sect, it was just letting him go home. In name, he would still be a disciple of the Falling Star Sect.
The newly recruited disciples would live in the First Peak. After three years, they would move to the Second Peak. After another three years, they would move to the Third Peak. After another three years, they would pack their things and return home.
As a new disciple, Ye Xing naturally stayed at the First Peak. The First Peak had the most people, so there was a shortage of rooms. Martial Saints and Heavenly Mandate disciples could stay alone in a room, but ordinary Heavenly Mandate disciples had to share a room with two people.
The level of Destiny was related to the treatment of the sect. It could be differentiated in many ways.
Martial Saint Destiny disciples were like the Gifted Class students in the academy. Ordinary Destiny disciples were like the Ordinary Class students. Not only did they live in different places, but the resources and treatment they received were also twice as different.
When everything was settled, it was already dusk. The day was almost over.
With the Star Gathering Pill in hand, Ye Xing planned to break through to Star Tempering Stage Nine tonight. That way, he would be able to cultivate the Origin Restoration Force to Stage Seven, which would greatly increase his strength.
After consolidating his cultivation, it would be time for him to aim for the top ten among the outer disciples. By doing so, he would be rewarded with a large amount of resources and could quickly improve his cultivation. By the time he became the number one outer disciple, his cultivation would basically be at the peak of the ninth level of the Star Tempering Realm. At that time, he would be able to obtain the Spiritual Martial Arts Inheritance of the sect and go to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountains to search for herbs to cultivate the Invincible Golden Body to the Complete Realm. After that, he would have to look for opportunities to strive for the Martial Sage Realm. Only when he became a Martial Sage could he be considered to have entered the door of Martial Arts. At that time, he would be able to become an inner disciple of the Falling Star Sect and learn various Spiritual Level Martial Skills.
Ye Xing had already made a plan for the next period of time.
However, plans could not keep up with changes.
The first night Ye Xing entered the Falling Star Sect, he was already restless. Trouble came knocking on his door.
…
Duan Jinpeng was a well-known figure among the thousands of outer disciples. Other than the new disciples who had just entered the sect, the rest of the outer disciples knew about him.
This was because he was ranked in the top ten of the outer disciples ranking.
Although he was the last in the top ten, there were at least two hundred Half-Step Martial Sages among the thousands of outer disciples. The fact that he could stand out among so many Half-Step Martial Sages and rank in the top ten showed that his strength was indeed extraordinary. An ordinary Half-Step Martial Sage could not be compared to him.
Moreover, Duan Jinpeng was not only famous because he was ranked in the top ten, but also because he was vicious and merciless.
He had been in the Falling Star Sect for three years. In these three years, at least seven ordinary Heaven's Mandate Realm outer disciples had died in his hands. Each of them was bullied by him until they could not stand it anymore and went to the Life and Death Ring with him. In the end, they all died in his hands.
Therefore, Duan Jinpeng was given the nickname "Bloody Hands" because his hands were stained with blood.
The outer disciples of the Falling Star Sect could teach ordinary Heaven's Mandate outer disciples a lesson as long as they had a good reason.
However, if an ordinary Heaven's Mandate outer disciple wanted to attack an outer disciple of the Martial Sage Mandate, they could only do so in the arena. There were two types of arenas: the Duel Arena and the Life and Death Ring.
The Duel Arena determined the victor.
In the Life and Death Ring, regardless of the outcome, only life and death were determined.
It was evident that the sect valued the disciples of the Martial Sage Mandate greatly.
At Duan Jinpeng's residence.
At this moment, the arrogant and domineering Duan Jinpeng was standing respectfully in front of a young man who was about his age.
Duan Jinpeng cupped his fists and bowed as he said, "Senior Brother Zhen, may I know what brings you to my humble abode?"
Although he and Zhen Qiu Si had entered the Falling Star Sect together three years ago, the difference in status between the two was like heaven and earth.
Duan Jinpeng only had a three-star Orange Fate and was still a Half-Step Martial Sage after three years in the sect.
On the other hand, Zhen Qiu Si had an eight-star Orange Fate and became a Martial Sage in his first year in the sect. Now, he was a three-star Martial Sage with a cultivation of Star Vortex Stage 3.
Moreover, Zhen Qiu Si was ranked tenth among the inner disciples.
In the eyes of the inner disciples, the number one outer disciple was also dog sh * t. Therefore, the difference between him and Zhen Qiu Si was like heaven and earth.
Zhen Qiu Si was only nineteen years old, one year younger than Duan Jinpeng. However, he looked very experienced.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked a few steps and said, "Among the new outer disciples, there is one called Ye Xing from the Zishan County!"
Duan Jinpeng laughed. He knew that the disciples from the Zishan County, whether it was his batch, the previous batch, or the batch before that, had all been beaten up badly by the Falling Star Sect. He had even killed a disciple from the Zishan County.
He had heard that the marquis from the Zishan County seemed to have a grudge with Elder Hua Tianshu. Any disciple from the Zishan County would be beaten up badly. Even the Martial Sage Mandate was no exception.
Unless … he swore to be Zishan Hou's enemy and become part of Elder Hua Tianshu's faction.
For example, a few days ago, a Martial Saint's Heaven's Will disciple from the Zishan County called Wang Feng was beaten up by him. That disciple was so scared that he immediately swore to sever all ties with Zishan Hou, to become his enemy and obey Elder Hua Tianshu's orders.
Duan Jinpeng said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhen. I promise I'll teach him a lesson just like the one from a few days ago."
Zhen Qiu Si shook his head and said, "No, I don't want him to be obedient. I want him dead!"
Duan Jinpeng was surprised. It was rare for a new disciple to want someone dead. It seemed that Ye Xing had a personal grudge with Zhen Qiu Si.
Although Duan Jinpeng was curious about why Zhen Qiu Si wanted to kill Ye Xing, he knew that it was best not to ask.
He licked his lips and said excitedly, "I'm good at killing people, hehe …!"
…
In Ye Xing's residence.
Ye Xing was adjusting his breath. He wanted to adjust his body to its best condition. He would take the Star Gathering Pill and break through to the ninth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm in the middle of the night to avoid being disturbed.
His Junior Martial Brother Du Dong, who lived in the same room as him, was a man of few words. He was also meditating and cultivating.
"Ye … Xing!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside, which woke Ye Xing up from his meditation.
Ye Xing frowned slightly. Elder Gong Yang said that today was the first day and there was nothing to do. The assignment would only start tomorrow. No one should have come to find him today, and he didn't have any friends in the Falling Star Sect.
With doubts, Ye Xing stood up and walked outside.
Bang!
Ye Xing had just taken two steps when he heard a loud bang and the door flew in his direction.
Obviously, it was kicked away by someone.
Ye Xing narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. This person didn't come with good intentions.
Du Dong, on the other hand, was startled by the sudden kick of the door. Both he and Ye Xing turned to look at the door.
It was a young man in his twenties. He wore a silver brocade robe and had a handsome face and an aquiline nose. It was Duan Jinpeng.
However, Ye Xing was surprised to see someone he knew standing behind Duan Jinpeng. It was Wang Feng.
Duan Jinpeng hooked his index finger at Ye Xing and said, "Kid, come out for a while. I have something to discuss with you."
After speaking, Duan Jinpeng turned and left.
Tsk … Is there something wrong with this guy?
Ye Xing looked at Duan Jinpeng's back in disdain. Although the other party was a Half-Step Martial Saint, Ye Xing didn't think much of him.
However, since the other party had come looking for him, Ye Xing naturally had to find out what was going on. He walked out of the door.
"Senior Brother Wang, what's going on?" Ye Xing asked Wang Feng as he walked out of the door.
Wang Feng sneered and walked away without saying anything. However, after taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "This is Senior Brother Duan Jinpeng, who is ranked tenth on the outer disciple ranking. You don't have anything to do with him. If Senior Brother Duan is looking for you, just come."
Duan Jinpeng walked to an open area and stopped. Wang Feng ran to Duan Jinpeng's side and said, "Senior Brother Duan, he's here."
At this time, there were already quite a number of new disciples gathered around. Many people had heard the loud sound of the door being kicked open.
The people who lived here were all ordinary Heaven's Mandate disciples. Of course, they recognized Ye Xing, who was ranked first. They all whispered to each other, wondering why Senior Brother Duan Jinpeng, who was ranked tenth on the outer disciple ranking, was looking for Ye Xing.
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Duan?" Ye Xing asked as he walked over.
Duan Jinpeng nodded at Wang Feng. Wang Feng said, "Ye Xing, I heard that you have a Star Gathering Pill?"
Ye Xing frowned. The Star Gathering Pill was something that would help him break through to the 9th stage of the Star Tempering Realm. He wouldn't give it to anyone.
He nodded.
Wang Feng took out a small bag and threw it at Ye Xing's feet, "Senior Brother Duan wants your Star Gathering Pill. Here's a hundred gold taels as a reward."
A hundred gold taels couldn't even afford a mid-grade Star Accumulating Pill. How could he exchange it for a Star Gathering Pill that was ten times more valuable than a top-grade one?
This was clearly a robbery.
Ye Xing's lips curled up, "Senior Brother Duan is already a Half-Martial Saint. Why would he want a Star Gathering Pill?"
Wang Feng's eyes widened and he shouted, "Senior Brother Duan says he wants it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
