(Third update! Third update!)
The news of Ye Xing killing Duan Jinpeng spread throughout the outer sect of the Falling Star Sect that very night.
Regardless of whether it was the new or old disciples, they were all shocked when they heard the news.
Most of the new disciples had witnessed the battle with their own eyes, while most of the old disciples were from the second and third peaks. Ninety-nine percent of them had only heard about it after the event.
While the old disciples were shocked, they also felt regretful that they had missed out on such an exciting battle.
Ye Xing's name was like a gust of wind that spread throughout the outer sect of the Falling Star Sect. He had indeed become famous in one battle.
Especially the words he said, which were spread by the disciples, "Bring it on, you will end up like Duan Jinpeng." It was shocking and puzzling at the same time.
However, the smarter ones could tell that Ye Xing's words were not meant for the public, but because he knew that someone was targeting him, he made it clear.
This way, the matter would blow up, and the more it blew up, the more the sect would pay attention to it, and the safer Ye Xing would be.
Some of the smarter ones could not help but admire Ye Xing's scheming. After killing Duan Jinpeng, he was still able to think of ways to prevent the risks after the event.
This matter had caused an uproar. If Ye Xing mysteriously died or went missing, the impact would be too great, and the sect would definitely investigate thoroughly.
Therefore, although Ye Xing's words seemed reckless, it was actually a protective halo around himself.
Of course, the bigger protective halo was that he had already become the tenth outer disciple. Ordinary outer disciples might not be valued by the sect, but the top ten outer disciples would definitely be valued.
This matter was not only spread among the outer disciples, but also among the deacons of the outer sect. That night, someone even reported the news to the elders of the outer sect.
"Trash! What a piece of trash! "
After Zhen Prison Temple instructed Duan Jinpeng to leave, he wasn't in a hurry to return to the inner sect. He naturally wanted to hear the news of Ye Xing's death before leaving. In the end, he didn't hear the news of Ye Xing's death. Instead, he heard that Duan Jinpeng had been shot dead by Ye Xing. He couldn't help but curse loudly.
In Zhen Prison Temple's eyes, Duan Jinpeng was a good-for-nothing. Now that he knew that Duan Jinpeng, a Half-Step Martial Sage, was killed by Ye Xing, a Lv 8 Astral Tempering Realm martial artist, he naturally saw Duan Jinpeng as a good-for-nothing.
He had asked Duan Jinpeng to kill Ye Xing, but not only had Ye Xing come out unscathed, he had even become famous for killing Duan Jinpeng. How could he make a move on Ye Xing now?
After cursing Duan Jinpeng countless times in his heart, Zhen Qiu Si could only return to the inner sect gloomily.
Although the Falling Star Sect didn't value the outer sect disciples, he couldn't be too conspicuous. After all, there were many factions in the sect. If he was too conspicuous, there would be people from the other factions controlling him.
If he was too out of line and caught the attention of the Old Ancestor, it would be a big deal. Even his master might not be able to protect him.
Now that Ye Xing was famous in the outer sect and had received a lot of attention, it was basically impossible for him to kill him easily. He could only think of another way.
…
Tonight, most people were talking about Ye Xing.
After Ye Xing left the Life and Death Ring, he returned to his residence and sat quietly to adjust his condition. When the night fell, he would consume the Star Gathering Pill and break through to Lv 9 Astral Tempering Realm.
Late at night, Du Dong had already fallen asleep. Ye Xing consumed the Star Gathering Pill and sat cross-legged on his bed to refine the pill.
As the pill was refined, Ye Xing could feel the power of the stars gathering in his body from all directions.
The Star Gathering Pill was different from the Star Accumulation Pill. The Star Accumulation Pill contained the power of the stars, but the Star Gathering Pill only provided a state for the user to gather the power of the stars from all directions.
The Star Accumulation Pill was an ordinary pill. Even if it was a supreme-grade pill, how much power could it contain? It couldn't compare to the power of the stars gathered by the Star Gathering Pill.
Therefore, the value of the Star Gathering Pill was much higher than that of the supreme-grade Star Accumulation Pill.
Ye Xing immediately circulated the Origin Restoration Force and absorbed the power of the stars into his dantian.
At the same time, he entered the state of sensing the stars and felt more power of the stars. While the Star Gathering Pill was still in effect, he absorbed the power of the stars.
The effect of the Star Gathering Pill lasted for fifteen minutes. In just fifteen minutes, the ninth ring appeared in Ye Xing's dantian.
The ninth ring represented the pinnacle of the Star Gathering Realm. It was the ninth stage of the Star Tempering Realm.
With the breakthrough in his cultivation, Ye Xing immediately felt that the strength of the internal energy in his body had increased a lot. He also felt that the capacity of his body had increased a lot. The internal energy in his body had been very abundant, but now it felt a little empty.
This meant that after the breakthrough in his cultivation, he could cultivate more internal energy.
After the breakthrough in his cultivation, the effect of the Star Gathering Pill was still there. Ye Xing continued to absorb the power of the stars quickly and tried to improve his cultivation as much as possible.
The power of the stars was like a stream that was absorbed by Ye Xing. It strengthened the nine rings in his dantian and cultivated more internal energy.
Very quickly, the effects of the Star Gathering Pill wore off and Ye Xing's cultivation returned to normal. Although his ninth ring had just formed, it was already glowing a little brightly.
It could be seen that the effect of the cultivation just now was really good. Ye Xing's cultivation had consolidated a lot and he was almost at the mid-stage of the ninth stage.
Ye Xing took out three more supreme grade Star Accumulating Pills and swallowed them all.
Cultivation should be done while the iron was hot.
According to common sense, taking three supreme grade Star Accumulating Pills at once was definitely a waste. The body couldn't absorb so much medicinal power in a short time.
However, according to Ye Xing's personal experience, there was no problem at all.
The effect of the pills he absorbed was much higher than other martial artists. It was very likely that it had something to do with his dark vortex-like astrology.
Ye Xing spent the night in meditation and felt refreshed in the morning.
After breakfast, all the new disciples gathered in the outer square where the Life and Death Ring was located.
Yesterday evening, Ye Xing shot and killed the tenth outer disciple, Duan Jinpeng, at the Life and Death Ring in the middle of the square.
Now, Duan Jinpeng's body was long gone. Obviously, it had been taken care of by the sect.
The position of the outer disciples in the sect was like that of the servants in the big families. They needed to do all kinds of things. Today was the day to assign the new disciples their jobs.
It took more than half a day for the new disciples to be assigned to their respective halls. Only Ye Xing had yet to be assigned to his own hall.
Just as Ye Xing was wondering why he hadn't been assigned, Gong Yang Xuan shouted his name, "Where is Ye Xing?"
"Disciple is here." Ye Xing immediately responded from the crowd and walked out.
When he was standing in the crowd, not many people noticed him. However, when he walked out, he naturally became the focus of all the disciples.
As a Peak Martial Sage, although Gong Yang Xuan was surprised by Ye Xing's strength at first, he didn't take it seriously.
However, the fact that Ye Xing shot Duan Jinpeng to death truly shocked Gongyang Xuan.
Archery was very powerful, but there were not many people who practiced archery. That was because archery was very difficult to practice. Without this talent, the archery that one practiced would not be as powerful as a martial artist of the same realm. It was very useless.
Therefore, it was very rare to have talent in archery. Especially Ye Xing who had practiced archery to such a level. It was obvious that his talent in archery was extraordinary. He could be called a demon.
If such a person cultivated to the Martial Sage Realm, it would be very terrifying. He could kill an enemy who was one or even two realms higher than him with his archery.
Therefore, Ye Xing's position in Gong Yang Xuan's heart was much higher than yesterday.
Gong Yang Xuan said, "Ye Xing, you have just entered the sect and you have become the tenth outer disciple. The sect appreciates you very much and rewards you with 12 Supreme Grade Star Accumulation Pills."
The disciples looked surprised. The reward for being in the top ten should be ten Supreme Grade Star Accumulation Pills. How did it become twelve?
Could it be that the sect really appreciates Ye Xing?
This shouldn't be. Although he is very strong, he is only an ordinary Heaven's Mandate.
The disciples were puzzled. Ye Xing also had a little doubt.
A deacon of the sect brought the twelve Supreme Grade Star Accumulation Pills over.
Ye Xing received them and put them into his storage ring. He cupped his fists and said to Gong Yang Xuan, "Thank you for the sect's nurturing!"
Gong Yang Xuan nodded, "You don't have to worry. The sect's reward has not changed. This old man is an outer elder of the Alchemy Hall. The two extra pills are my reward for you. I hope you will have good achievements in the future."
Ye Xing thanked him again with a more respectful expression, "Thank you, Elder Gong Yang."
Gong Yang Xuan smiled slightly, "You are in the top ten outer disciples. You don't have to do ordinary work. Duan Jinpeng died in your hands, so you can take his job. He works under that old ghost Gu Tianshang in the Formation Source Valley. He goes there every other day. Today is the day. Deacon Zhang Sheng will take you to the Formation Source Valley."
Then, Gong Yang Xuan seemed to remember something and reminded, "That old ghost Gu Tianshang's temper is not good. Be smart when you go to the Formation Source Valley."
Ye Xing said, "Yes, thank you for your advice."
"Junior Brother Ye, come with me." The deacon who had just given the Supreme Grade Star Accumulation Pills to Ye Xing said. He was Zhang Sheng.
The new disciples looked enviously at Ye Xing leaving the square under Zhang Sheng's lead.
As soon as Xiao Chen entered the sect, he was in the top ten of the outer disciples. How could these new disciples not be envious? Even the disciples of the Martial Sage Tian Ming felt sour in their hearts.
"Senior Brother Zhang, what do I need to do when I go to the Formation Source Valley?"
On the way, Ye Xing saw that Deacon Zhang Sheng had a friendly expression, so he took the initiative to ask.
Zhang Sheng was a Two Star Martial Sage who was not even thirty years old. He was originally an inner disciple of the Falling Star Sect. However, the Falling Star Sect had a rule. When one was over twenty-five years old and had passed the prime time for cultivation, they were no longer disciples who only needed to cultivate. Instead, they had to become deacons who managed the sect's affairs.
Low Grade Martial Sages could become outer deacons. Mid Grade Martial Sages could become inner deacons. High Grade Martial Sages could be conferred the title of Marquis and manage a territory. They could also be managers of the various halls.
