84: Chapter 84: The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword Delivered to Our Doorstep!

Although he knew this old fellow before him, like Layman Qingyi beside him, harbored no good intentions, Zhao Changsheng instinctively looked toward Layman Qingyi in the face of the other's request.

"If you officially take me as your Revered Master, you naturally won't have to take this old thing as your Revered Master, nor will you need to become his Named Disciple. As for whether there will be any trouble later, you can rest assured. With me here, this old thing definitely won't dare to cause you trouble; at most, he'll just be angry for three days, and nothing will happen."

As soon as Layman Qingyi said this, Zhao Changsheng knew the play wasn't over yet.

But things had come to this point; he seemed to have no choice other than becoming a Disciple.

Although he still had some trump cards that were enough to pose a threat to Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was unwilling to use such means unless it was absolutely necessary.

Since it hadn't reached that point yet...

"Disciple pays respects to Revered Master!"

Zhao Changsheng could only respectfully cup his hands and bow to Layman Qingyi.

"Good, good, good! From today onwards, you are my Closed-door Disciple. Old thing, hurry up and bring out the greeting gift. Those two Blood Jade Ginsengs you just got are quite good. Hurry up and bring them out. After all, he is your Martial Nephew; it's only natural to give a greeting gift. Hurry up and bring it out."

Layman Qingyi's face was full of smiles as he reached out and demanded from Venerable Tian Yun beside him.

"Scram! I want those two Blood Jade Ginsengs to refine Medicinal Pills. Do you not want me to succeed in refining those pills? If I succeed, they can increase our lifespans by at least thirty-five years. Although it's not much, it allows us to live a bit longer."

Venerable Tian Yun glared at Layman Qingyi without ceremony and refused.

His words made Layman Qingyi pause for a moment before he smiled and spoke again.

"What you say makes sense, you old thing. In terms of Alchemy, there are few in the entire Chaotic Star Sea who can compare to you. In that case, just give him a few Magic Treasures. After all, my Disciple has just reached Core Formation and needs suitable Magic Treasures for protection. This way, he'll be much safer, and we can both feel at ease when he's out. Don't you agree?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I really can't deal with you, old fellow. I think this Magic Treasure should be quite suitable for your Disciple."

After saying this, Venerable Tian Yun slapped his Storage Pouch, and twelve streaks of green light shot out instantly.

After circling in the air, they landed in front of Zhao Changsheng. They were twelve small emerald-green Flying Swords about a foot long, radiating a sharp and overbearing sword intent; their piercing aura made one dare not look directly at them.

When he saw these twelve small Flying Swords, Zhao Changsheng's expression became very strange.

Because these twelve small Flying Swords were exactly the lowest-tier version of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords recorded in the Azure Origin Sword Art.

Undoubtedly, some Cultivator at or above the Core Formation Stage who practiced the Azure Origin Sword Art must have come to the Chaotic Star Sea in the past.

"What? Are you dissatisfied?"

Seeing Zhao Changsheng's expression, Venerable Tian Yun questioned him with a slightly displeased tone.

After all, this was the only set of Magic Treasures he had, and it was quite suitable for Zhao Changsheng's Spiritual Roots and Cultivation Technique.

If Zhao Changsheng weren't of great use to them, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to part with it.

Although it was left behind by a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, its power was not much inferior to an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Magic Treasure.

If he hadn't already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and possessed many treasures, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to give it as a greeting gift.

"It's not that, Senior has misunderstood. Junior has only seen this Magic Treasure in ancient records and didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, let alone possess it. I was simply overwhelmed with excitement and lost my composure. I hope Senior won't be angry."

Zhao Changsheng found a suitable reason to explain.

"You know the origin of this Magic Treasure?" Venerable Tian Yun asked with curiosity at Zhao Changsheng's explanation.

"Indeed. This Magic Treasure was created by a Senior named Qing Yuanzi. The complete set should consist of seventy-two Flying Swords; these twelve are just the initial version. Although their power is not weak, they are far inferior to the complete sword formation. If the complete sword formation were refined, its power would be unimaginable. Unfortunately, it's impossible for someone at the Core Formation Stage to achieve this. At the very least, one would need to reach the Nascent Soul Stage to have enough time, energy, and ability to gather everything. Moreover, even if refined, it would be difficult to control; at most, one could control twenty or thirty Flying Swords. It's a pity this Magic Treasure cannot be directly refined into a Lifebound Treasure, and there's no need to continue strengthening it, which is truly a regret for Junior."

What Zhao Changsheng said was not a lie; it could be considered the truth.

Because this sword formation was indeed useful to him, though the initial version didn't have much effect.

But it was still useful to some extent.

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about these Flying Swords. Even the previous owner of this set didn't know its origin. It seems you truly have a predestined affinity with them. Unfortunately, I don't have the Refinement Method; otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving it to you."

After listening to Zhao Changsheng's explanation, which didn't sound suspicious at all, Venerable Tian Yun nodded slightly.

"Then do you know the Refinement Method for this set of Flying Swords?"

"Junior does not know that. I only saw related records in an ancient book, and that book only had a casual mention on one page; it didn't provide any specific details."

Zhao Changsheng gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

"Alright, that's truly a pity. If you could obtain it, it would be perfect for you. However, holding onto this Magic Treasure should still be of significant use to you."

Venerable Tian Yun didn't ask further and directly had Zhao Changsheng collect the twelve Flying Swords.

"Then Junior thanks Senior."

Hearing this, Zhao Changsheng stopped being formal and directly put the twelve Flying Swords into his Storage Pouch.

"I wonder why Revered Master and Senior are so insistent on taking Junior as a Disciple?"

After putting them away, Zhao Changsheng asked a question he was quite concerned about.

Hearing Zhao Changsheng's straightforward inquiry, both Venerable Tian Yun and Layman Qingyi couldn't help but exchange glances, looking at each other in surprise.

"If it's inconvenient for Revered Master or Senior to say, then consider that Disciple never asked."

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng could only sigh and speak again.

"Actually, there's no need to hide it from you, as you'll find out sooner or later. Since you're so anxious to know, I will tell you."

"It's much like what I told you last time; we need you to obtain the Legacy of Venerable Tian Jing. Because currently, in the entire Chaotic Star Sea, you are the only one who meets the criteria."
