Ye Xing chuckled and said, "Obtaining these three Saint Spirit Grasses is more rewarding than all the other Spiritual Herbs. Let's continue searching and see if we can find any other Spiritual Herbs that are as old as them!"
In the following period of time, Ye Xing found a few more Spiritual Herbs. However, he did not come across any Saint Spiritual Herbs that were more than two hundred years old.
On the ninth day, Ye Xing found another mid-grade herb that was over two hundred years old. It was a Flowered Orchid with healing properties. Its value could only be higher than the Saint Spirit Grasses.
After that, no more mid-grade herbs were found. In the last few days, Ye Xing and Lin Tongyu stopped searching for herbs and only headed towards the center of the core area.
The one-month deadline was approaching and the seal of the Stellar Hall was about to open. It was time to break through the Stellar Hall. All the core disciples would gather in the Stellar Hall.
When Ye Xing and Lin Tongyu arrived outside the Stellar Hall, more than ten core disciples had already gathered.
"Junior Sister Lin, I finally found you …! Where have you been since you arrived at the core area? You've made me suffer! "
When Ye Xing and Lin Tongyu were still a thousand meters away from the Stellar Hall, a core disciple rushed out.
This person's white robe fluttered in the wind. From afar, he looked extraordinary. However, his eyes were as sharp as swords and his face was as sharp as a knife. One look and you could tell that he was a flamboyant person.
"This is Second Senior Brother Qi Jingyang! An annoying fly! "
Lin Tongyu first transmitted her voice to Ye Xing, then said coldly to Qi Jingyang, "Why is Second Senior Brother looking for me?"
Among the core disciples of the Falling Star Sect, the top three were all Six Star Martial Saints. The junior brothers below them respectfully called them Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother!
As for the fourth ranked He Hongjiao, she was not called Fourth Senior Sister, but Senior Sister He.
Qi Jingyang arrived in front of Ye Xing and Lin Tongyu in a few steps. In his eyes, Ye Xing was completely ignored. He stared into Lin Tongyu's eyes and said:
"Don't you understand Senior Brother's infatuation with you? There are dangers everywhere in the Fallen Star Secret Realm. Senior Brother naturally wants to find you and protect you! "
Lin Tongyu's expression was cold and indifferent as she said, "I have Junior Martial Brother Ye accompanying me, so I'm very safe. Second Senior Martial Brother doesn't need to worry."
"Sigh! He is just a trashy Inner Sanctum Disciple, a mere Three Star Martial Saint. How can he guarantee your safety? Come, follow me. I will protect you! "
Qi Jingyang waved his hand. He did not even glance at Ye Xing. Otherwise, with his cultivation, he would have been able to tell that Ye Xing was no longer a Three Star Martial Saint, but a Four Star Martial Saint.
Before Ye Xing could get angry at Qi Jingyang's words, Lin Tongyu was already furious.
"Junior Brother Ye is my father's personal disciple. Second Senior Brother, please be more respectful. Furthermore, Junior Brother Ye is no longer an inner disciple. He has already broken through to become a mid-level Martial Sage and has been promoted to a core disciple."
Qi Jingyang was already very jealous that Ye Xing was able to accompany Lin Tongyu in the Fallen Star Secret Realm.
Now that Qi Jingyang was protecting Ye Xing, he was even more furious. Of course, this anger was directed at Ye Xing.
Qi Jingyang's gaze finally shifted to Ye Xing.
He could naturally see Ye Xing's cultivation at a glance. However, this was not important. A Four Star Martial Saint was still an ant-like existence in his eyes.
When Qi Jingyang faced Ye Xing, compared to when he faced Lin Tongyu, it was as if he was a completely different person. His entire person had become like a sharp sword, incomparably sharp and filled with a strong offensive power.
"You … Get out of my sight!"
Qi Jingyang stared at Ye Xing and spat out words like swords, "Don't let me see you. Otherwise, every time I see you, I will beat you up!"
Not far away, the core disciples outside the Starry Hall were all in high spirits as they watched this scene.
Especially after Qi Jingyang's words, all the core disciples craned their necks, their eyes unblinking as they waited for the show to unfold.
In the Fallen Star Sect, the strongest disciple was undoubtedly the Eldest Senior Brother Ma Ren.
However, if one were to say who was the most arrogant disciple, it would be the Second Senior Brother Qi Jingyang.
In the Fallen Star Sect, in terms of family background, besides Lin Tongyu, Qi Jingyang was second.
Qi Jingyang's father, Qi Dousheng, was an elder of the Fallen Star Sect's War Pavilion.
His grandfather, Qi Jingcao, was an elder of the Elixir Pavilion, the same generation as Lin Xiuyuan.
His mother, Lu Shuangyuan, was the elder sister of the Sect Master, Lu Tianyuan.
Moreover, Qi Jingyang's great-grandfather, Qi Zhantian, had sacrificed his own life in the great calamity of the Fallen Star Sect more than a hundred years ago and saved Lin Xiuyuan, who was still in his teens. Lin Xiuyuan was indebted to him.
Not only were Qi Jingyang's ancestors and father both Astral Realm Perfected Persons, but they were also inner sect elders. His great-grandfather had also sacrificed his life to save the Grand Elder Lin Xiuyuan, and the Sect Master Lu Tianyuan was his uncle.
With such a family background, even the Eldest Senior Brother Ma Ren had to yield to him.
Although He Hongjiao and Lin Tongyu were known as the Fallen Star Sect's Twin Beauties, in terms of status, they were far inferior. As the Eldest Senior Brother, if Ma Ren had a choice, he would definitely prefer Lin Tongyu over He Hongjiao.
It was precisely because Qi Jingyang liked Lin Tongyu that the Eldest Senior Brother Ma Ren had to compromise and settle for the second best, He Hongjiao.
Even their Eldest Senior Brother had to yield to him. Among the disciples of the Falling Star Sect, no one dared to provoke him. Only when he was with Lin Tongyu would Qi Jingyang be amiable. When it came to others, Ye Xing's experience was a perfect example.
The phrase 'Get out of my sight' was not only said to Ye Xing by Qi Jingyang, but it was also Qi Jingyang's catchphrase.
Except for Lin Tongyu, Qi Jingyang only had a little respect for the Eldest Senior Brother Ma Ren, and no one else was in his eyes.
Even Li Yuanqing, who ranked third among the core disciples, would shout 'Get out of my sight' when Qi Jingyang was in a bad mood.
Moreover, Li Yuanqing could only swallow his anger and disappear from Qi Jingyang's sight.
"If you dare touch a hair on Junior Brother Ye's head, you and I will be irreconcilable!"
Seeing that Qi Jingyang was angry at Ye Xing, Lin Tongyu immediately opened her arms and blocked in front of Ye Xing.
But she didn't know that the more she protected Ye Xing, the angrier Qi Jingyang became.
Ye Xing took in Qi Jingyang's reaction, but he didn't care. Others respected and feared Qi Jingyang, but this didn't include him, Ye Xing.
Ye Xing wouldn't take the initiative to step on anyone's head, but no one could take the initiative to step on his head!
Ye Xing had no objections to Qi Jingyang pursuing Lin Tongyu.
However, Qi Jingyang couldn't call Ye Xing trash in front of Lin Tongyu, and he couldn't tell Ye Xing to get out of his sight because of this.
This made Ye Xing very angry!
The consequences were very serious!
Qi Jingyang didn't care what Ye Xing thought. His gaze passed over Lin Tongyu and stared into Ye Xing's eyes like an awl, overbearing.
"I'll give you three breaths to get out of my sight!"
His voice was like a sharp sword, piercing Ye Xing's heart.
Ye Xing's lips curled slightly. He reached out and grabbed Lin Tongyu's hand in front of Qi Jingyang.
Ye Xing had already held Lin Tongyu's hand in the ice mountain area, but at that time it was to transfer heat to her and increase her speed. He didn't have any other intentions.
This time, he deliberately held her hand in front of Qi Jingyang. The feeling was especially strong.
Lin Tongyu's hand was soft and boneless, and her skin was delicate and smooth. Touching it was like touching white jade, like touching silk.
"Senior Sister Ye, let's go …!"
Ye Xing also treated Qi Jingyang as if he didn't exist. He grabbed Lin Tongyu's hand and walked to the side.
At this moment, Lin Tongyu's heart skipped a beat when Ye Xing grabbed her hand.
The feeling of holding hands with Ye Xing now was completely different from holding hands in the ice mountain.
In the ice mountain, she only treated Ye Xing as a junior brother. Ye Xing also held her hand in order to transfer heat to her. The relationship between the two was very pure, so naturally there was no feeling between them.
However, since Ye Xing insisted on sharing a share of the Five Leaf Ice Lotus with Lin Tongyu, Lin Tongyu already had a good impression of Ye Xing. Ye Xing had left a deep impression in her heart.
Especially these days, when the two were looking for elixirs together, their relationship rapidly improved. Ye Xing didn't have such thoughts, so naturally he didn't realize it. However, Lin Tongyu's feelings for Ye Xing were getting better and better, and she had already begun to fall in love with him.
At this moment, Ye Xing suddenly held her hand. To Lin Tongyu, this was like an electric shock.
Lin Tongyu's heart skipped a beat, and her bones almost went soft.
However, sometimes women's reactions were so fast. She immediately realized that being intimate with Ye Xing might be the best way to cut off Qi Jingyang's thoughts.
