My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

As a top sect in Xiangzhou, the Heavenly Gate was responsible for a defense area near the 300 miles defense line to the North.

As the warship landed, Xu Fan received a message from the Communication Talisman. He, Xu Gang, and Xu Yuexian were all assigned to the Number Five Camp.

“Junior Brother Xu, you guys go report to your assigned camps first. I’ll notify you when the Refining Master arrives,” said the stupid with a wave of his hand towards Xu Fan.

At this moment, strange sounds came from the Forbidden Area. Thousands of demonic beasts emerged, chased by more than a dozen demon clan members at the Nascent Soul Stage and above.

There was a 30 Miles Buffer Zone between the entrance of the Forbidden Area and the defense line.

The speed of the emerged demonic beasts was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed half of the buffer zone and were about to attack the Heavenly Gate’s camp.

‘Boom!’

One could see that the warship in the sky fired a cannon without moving. A large pit with four miles in diameter appeared.

In no time, the large pit was filled with groundwater, and a clear small lake appeared not far from the camp

“Good shot. But 1 wonder if it’s worth a shot,” Xu Fan said, looking at the small lake. That shot completely destroyed everything, including any materials from the demonic beasts.

“l wish I had a technique with that kind of power,” Xu Gang sighed, looking at the lake with longing. That shot had struck a chord in his heart.

“Keep cultivating hard. In about a thousand years or so, you might get there,” Xu Fan said, patting Xu Gangs shoulder to encourage him.

“A thousand years? That’s a long time,” Xu Yuexian sighed, feeling that a thousand years was too far away from them.

“Is it? This is just the beginning,” Xu Fan sighed, feeling a bit sad thinking back to when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

After watching the cannon fire, Xu Fan took his two disciples to the Fifth Camp.

Honestly, every time Xu Fan left his domain, he felt like something was missing.

As soon as he entered the camp, Xu Fan had the honor of meeting the Void Refining Stage cultivator who guarded the camp.

“You are the artifact refiner introduced by Master Bai Lian? Can you repair a Fifth-Order Artifact?” A Body Refining Cultivator who was nearly two meters tall asked, looking at Xu Fan. This camp only had three artifact refiners assigned, and all of them were just entry-level. They even struggled to repair a Third-Order Artifact.

“Senior, do you have the Spiritual Fire? If you do, “ith your assistance, I can repair a Fifth-Order Artifact,” Xu Fan said, nodding. Now, the only thing holding him back from being a top artifact refiner was his cultivation level. His low cultivation level made it impossible for him to control higher-level spiritual fires.

“Yes, can you help me refine it now?”

“Yes,” Xu Fan nodded. 1 don’t dare to say no, dammit.

As a result, before Xu Fan even had the chance to explore the entire camp, the Void Refining Stage Body Refining Cultivator took him to the specialized refining tool area.

In a refining room made with Earth Attribute techniques, Xu Fan frowned at a set of severely damaged Giant Spirit Treasure Armor. It was full of holes, and the weak parts were even torn apart by scratches.

“Senior, I think you might have a misunderstanding about repairing. This set of Treasure Armor is already beyond repair.”

“Did you fight a fierce battle with a giant demon?” Xu Fan said. To repair this armor was no different from creating a new set from scratch.

“Just tell me if you can fix it or not.”

“Do you have Iron Mother Cloud Crystal and Tianlin Stone, Senior?” Xu Fan asked. This was when being an artifact refiner came in handy. No matter how precious the materials, artifact refiners always saved some leftovers.

“If I have those, can you fix this Giant Spirit Treasure Armor for me?” The

Body Refining Cultivator’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement. This set of Treasure Armor was his most important artifact, and if it were damaged, his combat power would be reduced by at least thirty percent.

“Not only can I restore it, but I can even enhance its power by twenty percent,” Xu Fan’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he observed the runes formation on this treasure artifact heavy armor using the unique method of artifact refiners.

According to Xu Fan, the runes formation on this treasure artifact heavy armor didn’t do justice to the material used for the heavy armor. By the way, although the spiritual mine used for this heavy armor was of high quality, the refinement technique was just average.

“Really?” The expression of the body refining cultivator was like seeing someone who could enhance his equipment for free.

“Wait for me,” the body refining cultivator disappeared from the spot immediately.

“Is this teleportation?” Xu Fan’s eyes flashed with a trace of contemplation, and he added in his heart an understanding that Void Refining cultivators could teleport.

Xu Fan didn’t wait for the Void Refining body cultivator at the original place. He walked through the Number Five Camp with his two disciples. It was called a large camp but it was more like a city.

As long as a cultivator was proficient in earth attribute techniques, building a house was just a matter of waving their hands. Xu Fan even saw restaurants, teahouses, and commercial buildings built by some large business associations in the camp.

“In the future, the three-thousand-mile Forbidden Land Defense Line can make a large number of business associations flourish.” Xu Fan said, just this camp alone had more than 100,000 cultivators.

In the camp, there were not only disciples of Heavenly Gate but also people sent by affiliated sects and influences.

“Master, let’s find a place to stay. The sect’s communication talisman just informed me and elder brother to gather,” Xu Yuexian said.

“Alright.”

The three of them soon built a small courtyard in a remote corner of the camp, just enough for three people to live in.

As soon as the small courtyard was completed, spatial fluctuations appeared beside Xu Fan. A thick, sturdy hand directly pulled Xu Fan through space into the original refining room.

“This is Iron Mother Cloud Crystal and Tianlin Stone. What’s left is for you to tell me how I should cooperate with you.”

“Please protect me, Senior, and let me control your spiritual fire,” Xu Fan said. With the framework of the treasure artifact heavy armor, it was not a problem to refine a fifth-order artifact again.

“Alright.”

A blue flame emitting chilliness appeared in front of Xu Fan, which caught Xu Fan’s eye. Ice-attribute spiritual fire – he had only heard of it before.

With the help of the Void Refining cultivator, Xu Fan easily controlled the blue flame.

The Iron Mother Cloud Crystal was directly thrown into the blue flame, while Xu Fan used his spiritual power to crush the Tianlin Stone into powder, adding it bit by bit to the Iron Mother Cloud Crystal being quenched in the blue flame.

Xu Fan, who was refining artifact with someone’s help, felt relaxed. He chatted with the big shot beside him when he had nothing to do.

“I’ve already met Senior a few times, but I still don’t know your name,” Xu Fan said. Although he kept a low profile, if he happened to meet a big shot, he should make friends with the person.

“My name is Shan Chen.”

“Kid, Master Bai Lian’s recommendation was right; you’re a genius.”

“If you are satisfied with my repair of the Giant Spirit Heavy Armor this time, I’ll give you a piece of Ten Thousand Star Meteorite Iron,” Shan Chen smiled and said, a cultivator at the 12th Level of Qi Cultivation having such a high level of artifact refining skill now, he might need his help later.

“Thank you, Senior.” Xu Fan didn’t expect there to be an unexpected surprise; Ten Thousand Star Meteorite Iron could be used to refine Dao Tools.

Compared with that, Xu Fan felt that his thinking was small.. What did those Iron Mother Cloud Crystals and Tianlin Stones matter?
