77: Chapter 77: The Purpose of Master Qingyi Taking on Disciples!

After watching Layman Qingyi depart, Zhao Changsheng's expression instantly darkened. Looking at the ten-thousand-mile transmission talisman in his hand, he felt an impulse to destroy it, but after careful consideration, he placed it into his Storage Pouch.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, nor was it that he trusted Layman Qingyi.

Rather, he knew very well that if he destroyed it, Layman Qingyi would surely sense it immediately, and they would be forced into an open confrontation.

But he truly didn't understand what Layman Qingyi's purpose was for seeking him out. How could his luck be so bad?

He had only just arrived at Tiandu Street when he encountered this Layman Qingyi.

Zhao Changsheng was quite aware of Layman Qingyi; the man was definitely an existence that could not be underestimated.

With his current Divine Abilities and methods, although there was a certain chance he could retreat unscathed, now was not the time for a falling out.

Especially now, when he hadn't even successfully refined his Lifebound Treasure, let alone anything else.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changsheng felt a bit of a headache.

Zhao Changsheng truly hadn't expected such an inauspicious start.

However, he vaguely sensed that Layman Qingyi's desire to take him as a disciple must be related to that so-called Venerable Tian Jing.

Regarding that legendary figure who had once slain the previous Holy Master of the Star Palace, Zhao Changsheng still held a fair amount of admiration.

He had also just learned that the other party had similarly advanced to the Core Formation Stage in his thirties. Such a rapid cultivation speed, if it wasn't due to some heaven-sent Opportunity...

...then it was enough to prove how Heaven-Defying the other party's cultivation Aptitude was.

In any case, Zhao Changsheng was only able to be Forming the Golden Core so quickly because he had the System.

"Forget it, I'll buy the Materials first. Regardless of his purpose, as long as I have the Exotic Fire and the cards, there won't be a problem. Besides, it's time to complete the mission."

After some thought yielded no clues, Zhao Changsheng decided to attend to his primary business first—buying Materials.

There was also the task of completing the mission: killing a Demonic Path Core Formation Cultivator.

For him, having already entered the Chaotic Star Sea, this was not a difficult matter.

After all, although he didn't have a Lifebound Treasure, he had other Magic Treasures on him, which he had already refined.

With a bit more preparation and scouting out the situation, he could kill an ordinary Demonic Path Core Formation Cultivator.

Originally, Zhao Changsheng had thought about killing that Demonic Path Core Formation Cultivator in Jiayuan City in the future.

And conveniently obtain the other's Storage Pouch and a series of useful items.

Now it seemed he could choose someone else.

He heard it was somewhat dangerous, but now was not the time to worry about that.

Regarding his own strength, Zhao Changsheng had sufficient confidence.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changsheng's anxious heart settled quite a bit. He then entered Tiandu Street and began purchasing the necessary Materials.

Regarding the Materials for refining his Lifebound Treasure, Zhao Changsheng could be said to be meticulous to the extreme.

To avoid any errors, since this concerned his Lifebound Treasure, he naturally couldn't afford the slightest sloppiness.

Meanwhile, Layman Qingyi, who had parted ways with Zhao Changsheng, was full of smiles.

"I truly didn't expect it, truly didn't expect it! To encounter the candidate required for the Legacy just upon arriving at Kuixing Island. If it weren't for the fact that the Legacy's requirements were so harsh, I wouldn't have waited so many years without finding a suitable candidate. I didn't expect him to deliver himself right to my door. It's truly delightful—Forming the Golden Core before the age of thirty. Such cultivation Aptitude, such cultivation speed, it's truly enviable. It seems the secrets he carries are not small; perhaps he also obtained the Legacy of Venerable Tian Jing."

"Though he's a bit cautious, what can caution do? He'll still have to obediently acknowledge me as his master. As long as I take him to that place of Legacy, then Venerable Tian Jing's Legacy will be mine. With that Legacy, I will surely be able to take another step forward."

Layman Qingyi looked at a hexagonal golden mirror in his hand and murmured to himself... Zhao Changsheng naturally couldn't know any of this, nor did he know he was connected to the Legacy of Venerable Tian Jing.

At the moment, he was in a relatively large shop, selecting the Materials he needed.

Before him were various rare Materials for refining Magic Treasures: iron essence, Cloud Stone, five-thousand-year Yellow Wood... Any one of these Materials was worth a fortune, requiring at least a thousand Spirit Stones to purchase.

Although such an amount of Spirit Stones was nothing to Zhao Changsheng, he didn't take them out all at once, nor did he buy everything in one go.

Simply because many of these Materials weren't of much use to him, so he only purchased Materials like iron essence.

"Senior, are there any other Materials here that catch your eye?"

The one in charge was a middle-aged Cultivator, the manager of this shop, a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

His gaze toward Zhao Changsheng was filled with nothing but awe.

"There's nothing else useful among these Materials; take them back. Do you have any other Materials here? If not, I'll be leaving."

Having said that, Zhao Changsheng paid the Spirit Stones and prepared to get up and leave.

"Senior, please wait, please wait a moment. I have one more material here that I believe should be of some use to you."

After saying this, the manager hurriedly turned around and took a box out of a hidden compartment. The box was emerald green, as if carved from jade.

Immediately after, the manager placed the box on the table between them and opened it with some reluctance.

Upon opening it, what met the eye was a fist-sized, silver-white Ore.

However, upon closer inspection, one would find that this silver-white Ore was covered with threads like fresh blood.

It even faintly emitted a slight scent of blood.

"top grade blood-thread silver!"

These four words slowly escaped from Zhao Changsheng's mouth.

This was a material suitable for refining Lifebound Treasures that could both attack and carry a slight blood-poison effect, such as short blades or flying needles.

It could be said that for this shop to produce such a material was not easy.

"This piece of top grade blood-thread silver, I'll take it."

Just as Zhao Changsheng was about to take out Spirit Stones to buy this top grade blood-thread silver, an untimely voice rang out from the doorway.

Following the sound, he saw a young, beautiful woman with a tall figure and an even more heart-stirring temperament appear before him.

And her Realm had reached the peak of the Early Core Formation Stage, only one step away from the Middle Core Formation Stage.

"May I ask who you are, Fairy?"

Seeing the newcomer, Zhao Changsheng's expression changed slightly as he blurted out the question.

"I am Zhou Yuan, Sect Leader of the Wonderful Sound Sect. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

"So it's the Wonderful Sound Sect. Why aren't you in Heavenly Star City? What are you doing here on Kuixing Island? If you're idle, go find someone else; don't come here to snatch what I want."

After hearing her self-introduction, Zhao Changsheng spoke coldly and without any politeness.
