85: Chapter 85: Demanding Benefits!
Venerable Tian Yun then explained the specific details and reasons to Zhao Changsheng one by one. Zhao Changsheng also understood why the two were so anxious to take him as a Disciple, even going as far as to deliberately stage such a grand play.
Simply put, the fact that they could Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage as Loose Cultivators was because they had obtained part of Venerable Tian Jing's Legacy.
However, to obtain the complete Legacy, the first condition to be met was Forming the Golden Core before the age of a hundred. In the entire Chaotic Star Sea, Cultivators who could meet this condition were not exactly unique, but they were certainly few and far between.

Moreover, almost everyone who reached it had a super powerful force behind them.
For example, the Young Lord of Holy Demon Island, Wen Tianren, was one of them, and the current Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, Wan Tianming, was also once like this.
However, it was clear that Cultivators with powerful Schools or Families behind them were unsuitable.
Under these circumstances, Layman Qingyi had originally given up hope, but he hadn't expected to encounter Zhao Changsheng on the way to Kuixing Island. Furthermore, by relying on the Divine Ability he Cultivated, he saw at a glance that Zhao Changsheng was not yet a hundred years old, yet was already a Core Formation Stage Cultivator.
Additionally, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out Zhao Changsheng's identity at all; he didn't recognize such a Core Formation Stage Cultivator. Therefore, Layman Qingyi felt that Zhao Changsheng should just be a Loose Cultivator.
So, with this suspicion, Layman Qingyi appeared and questioned him.
And as it turned out, just as he had guessed, Zhao Changsheng was indeed a Loose Cultivator.
This made Layman Qingyi incredibly happy, wanting to take Zhao Changsheng as his Disciple, even acting out such a good play with Venerable Tian Yun.
As for why he insisted on taking Zhao Changsheng as his Disciple, it was indeed because he wanted Zhao Changsheng to inherit his mantle.
After all, Layman Qingyi also knew that even if he could obtain Venerable Tian Jing's Legacy, it was impossible for him to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage. This was because even the original Venerable Tian Jing didn't seem to have reached that step, let alone an inheritor like himself. He just wanted to obtain a few more treasures and then see if there were any Medicinal Pills to extend his lifespan or Breakthrough his Realm.
He just wanted his strength to go a step further and his lifespan to be a bit longer.
Venerable Tian Yun wanted the ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine also for the reason of extending his lifespan, because he had obtained a prescription that would increase lifespan according to the age of the main ingredient.
If it were a ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, it could increase his lifespan by more than a hundred years.
Unfortunately, heaven and earth spiritual medicine of this age had not appeared in the entire Chaotic Star Sea for a very long time.
So he could only back down repeatedly, but he hadn't expected that Zhao Changsheng would actually take out two stalks of three-thousand-year-old medicine. Although they weren't ten thousand years old, they barely met the requirements.
Of course, regarding the cause and effect explained by Venerable Tian Yun and Layman Qingyi, Zhao Changsheng did not completely believe it; at most, he believed ten or twenty percent.
"So that's how it is. If I can't obtain that Legacy item of Venerable Tian Jing, will Revered Master draw out my soul and refine my essence?"
Zhao Changsheng nodded after listening, and then asked a rather sensitive question.
"How could that be possible? That is absolutely impossible. Even if you don't get it, you are still my Disciple. With your Aptitude, you will surely be able to successfully condense a Nascent Soul in the future, and may even have hope of advancing to become a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. How could I possibly do such a thing? You can rest assured, it will definitely not happen. Moreover, there will certainly be a share for you in that old fellow Tian Yun's Legacy in the future. You can rest assured; those few Disciples of his are all useless, every single one of them is trash. Even with so many Medicinal Pills cultivated by Tian Yun, not one of them has a chance to condense a Nascent Soul. They are simply trash to the extreme."
Layman Qingyi cursed unceremoniously.
"You still have the face to say my Disciples are useless? As if your Disciples are any better. Don't they also have not a single one who advanced to the Core Formation Stage before the age of a hundred? You say my Disciples are useless, but yours are the same—all useless trash."
Hearing Layman Qingyi cursing his Disciples like that, Venerable Tian Yun naturally struck back unceremoniously.
Hearing the argument between the two, Zhao Changsheng vaguely understood. These two fellows had always been trying to nurture a Disciple who could reach the Core Formation Stage before the age of a hundred, but unfortunately, not one had succeeded.
Even for an Alchemist like Venerable Tian Yun, who used a large number of Spirit Pills and medicines to nurture his Disciples, not one had succeeded. This was enough to prove just how difficult it was to reach Core Formation before the age of a hundred.
In the entire Chaotic Star Sea, there were countless Core Formation Stage Cultivators, but those who could meet this requirement were few and far between.
This was why they were so excited after seeing Zhao Changsheng.
"Revered Master, Senior, you two don't need to argue anymore. Don't you still have me? I will definitely help you obtain that Legacy. I wonder when we shall set out?"
Zhao Changsheng continued to persuade them.
"There's no rush for this matter. We still need to make some more preparations. You can rest assured about this; it should be ready in a few years at most, and then we will go together. If there are no Medicinal Pills for breaking through a Bottleneck or extending lifespan inside, then that Legacy will basically belong to you. You can rest assured."
Venerable Tian Yun's words sounded very sincere and trustworthy.
But Zhao Changsheng didn't believe a single word, because he knew very well that neither of these two fellows had good intentions. He had to make preparations early.
He needed to raise his Realm as much as possible and then complete his tasks. Only then would he have the confidence to go.
"No problem. By then, after I have taken Senior's golden cloud pill, I should be able to smoothly Breakthrough to the Middle Core Formation Stage. I will be of even greater use to Senior and Revered Master."
Zhao Changsheng nodded and agreed directly. As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on both Venerable Tian Yun's and Layman Qingyi's faces became slightly unnatural. Although it was fleeting, Zhao Changsheng still saw it.
Obviously, neither of these two old fellows wanted him to go a step further, but things had come to this, so they could only smile with great joy.
"You're right, indeed. The stronger your strength and the higher your Realm, the greater the chance of obtaining the Legacy."
"Then why don't Revered Master and Senior give me some more Spirit Pills and medicines so that I can go a step further?"
Zhao Changsheng directly reached out his hand and asked for benefits, with no intention of being polite at all, leaving Layman Qingyi and Venerable Tian Yun stunned once again.
Because they hadn't expected Zhao Changsheng to be so blunt.
"Old fellow, hurry up and take out some Medicinal Pills to give to my Disciple to improve his strength. I am just a Loose Cultivator and don't have that many good things."
Layman Qingyi urged.
