My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Watching First Clone eat the Wealthy Spirit Chicken that he had purchased, Er Tie breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why, were you afraid I wouldn’t be satisfied?” First Clone asked, looking at Er Tie.

“Senior, the last two Spirit Stones I had were used to buy the Wealthy Spirit Chicken for you. I was afraid you might be displeased,” said Er Tie anxiously.

“It’s fine. I appreciate your intentions,” said First Clone.

At this moment, a little girl playing in the backyard came running over.

“Older brother, I smelled the aroma of Wealthy Spirit Chicken,” the little girl said as she ran over.

Seeing First Clone, she hesitated, then took a half-step back, timidly and shyly saying, “Greetings, senior.”

“Mhm, hello,” replied First Clone.

First Clone tore off a big, fat chicken leg and handed it to the little girl.

“Senior is giving it to you, you can take it,” Er Tie told his little sister, looking at her eager eyes.

“Thank you, senior!”

The little girl took the chicken leg and ran back to the backyard. Eating delicious food was best enjoyed in one’s most comfortable spot.

“Senior, recently I tried using Spiritual Fire combined with the iron hammer to forge a spiritual sword.”

“Let me demonstrate for senior,” Er Tie said, as an iron hammer appeared in his hand. He picked up a piece of Spirit Iron and began forging.

A faint flame ignited on the surface of the iron hammer, striking the Spirit Iron again and again.

“Interesting. This method of forging a spiritual sword is a bit faster than the average Artifact Refiner,” said First Clone with a smile.

As a Refining Master, he could tell at a glance that Er Tie was simply combining the Spiritual Fire with the iron hammer, only making the Spirit Iron deform a bit faster.

Seeing this, First Clone slowly got up and walked out of the refining shop.

“Kid, once you’ve mastered the use of Spiritual Fire, I’ll teach you another trick.”

“Understood, senior,” Er Tie replied while continuing to forge.

Meanwhile, Li Xingci had been waiting at the entrance of the blacksmith’s shop for some time.

“Not bad, promoted to God Transformation stage. Does your Master know?” said First Clone, looking somewhat surprised.

“Greetings, Master,” Li Xingci bowed and said.

“Alright, come with me to the Refining Palace.”

In the No.1 Refining Room, First Clone took out a Quasi-Taoist Tool and said to Li Xingci, “When your Master asked me to refine a Magical Treasure for you.”

“Now that you’ve advanced to the God Transformation Stage, you should be able to use this Myriad Illusion Tower,” said First Clone.

“Thank you, Master,” said Li Xingci.

“Technically, I am a clone of your Master. You can call me First Master from now on,” said First Clone.

Li Xingci showed a slight resistance to addressing First Clone as his Master.

Hearing First Clone’s words, a trace of coldness flashed in Li Xingci’s eyes, hidden deep within.

“Understood, First Master.”

“First Master, in two months, on the first day of the month, my child will be born. I hope First Master can bestow a name and blessings,” said Li Xingci.

“Mhm, I’m aware of it. When the time comes, your Master will attach his divine sense to me,” said First Clone.

First Clone’s meaning was clear: it wouldn’t be him attending.

“Then, I’ll trouble First Master,” Li Xingci bowed and said.

After returning to the Elder Council Headquarters, Li Xingci closed his eyes and began to practice a special Divine Ability.

At this moment, on Hidden Spirit Island, in a secluded location, a young man dressed in a black robe appeared.

“Pu Tao, I need to see Master.” The young man in the black robe looked up and said.

“The void teleportation array is being set up, please do not move.”

A spiritual light started to outline the teleportation array around the young man in the black robe.

At the same time, a teleportation array is also being outlined in the spiritual light behind Xu Fan.

Once the teleportation array is finished, a young man in a black robe walks out.

Upon seeing the young man in the black robe, Xu Fan’s expression turns serious and says, “What happened over there? Do you need me to go back?”

This young man in the black robe is Li Xingci’s core Reincarnation Slave, who is usually in closed-door cultivation within a secret room on Hidden Spirit Island.

Only when he comes out do important things happen.

“Master, your doppelganger has undergone a mutation and has developed consciousness independent of you.” Li Xingci said, his current state wouldn’t last much longer, so he made it short and sweet.

“Independent consciousness, it seems that Number One’s adventure is quite interesting.”

“I understand. As long as he doesn’t cross any lines, let him be.” Xu Fan said. He had left many precautions on Number One and wasn’t afraid of a doppelganger betrayal.

“As long as Master knows, then I can rest easy.” Li Xingci nodded, and then issued an order to this Reincarnation Slave and withdrew his consciousness.

At the Elders Association Headquarters, Li Xingci was covering his head, easing the side effects of long-distance divine sense.

Su Rentian came in at this moment and saw Li Xingci moving. He quickly took out a bottle of Clear Spirit Pills that restored divine sense and fed Li Xingci.

“If you know there are such great side effects to divine abilities, don’t use them.”

“Your master is a scholarly expert who can deduce both heaven and earth. Are such trivial matters difficult for your master?” Su Rentian said with his belly sticking out.

“If I don’t inform Master, I can’t rest easy.” Li Xingci said, his head still aching.

“Star Ci, are you sure you don’t want to invite him?” Su Rentian asked.

“There’s no relation between him and me anymore.” Li Xingci replied indifferently.

“Alright.”

At this moment, Xu Fan is in the underground space of the Hidden Spirit Island and is negotiating with the Earth Crystal Spider and the Five Elements Monkey.

“Little Spider, since we are so fated to keep meeting each other, there’s no fun in continuing to fight and kill.”

“How about this? You eat your fire ants; I’ll mine my Fire Spirit Essence Mine. We won’t interfere with each other.” Xu Fan controlled the Five Elements Monkey to say.

“Give me half of the Fire Spirit Essence Mine. I need to cultivate.” The Earth Crystal Spider, showing its tiny fangs, was not afraid of the Integration Stage Five Elements Monkey.

“Not half, at most 10%. It will take me hundreds of years to mine this Fire Spirit Essence Mine. It’s more than enough for just one spider like you.” Xu Fan shook his head; he had been very patient in negotiating with this seemingly crushable little spider.

“No, 40%.”

At this time, the Five Elements Monkey’s body burst into flames of the five elements, and its eyes glowed red, “Then it’s a fight to the death!”

A gigantic demonic shadow appeared behind the Five Elements Monkey, as if it wanted to devour all living beings.

The Earth Crystal Spider, gazed upon by the demonic shadow, shivered and hurriedly waved its claws, “Okay, 10% is enough, just don’t do anything!”

The fear of being dominated by this Five Elements Monkey last time resurfaced.

The demonic shadow disappeared, and the Five Elements Monkey returned to its harmless appearance.

“So our agreement is happily decided.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“By the way, don’t let the fire ants bother my puppets by controlling the mother bug while mining.” Xu Fan added.

“Understood,” the Earth Crystal Spider promised.

Xu Fan looked at the Earth Crystal Spider’s appearance as it raised its forelimbs in assurance, and couldn’t help but find it somewhat cute.

Such thick spider legs must have a lot of meat on them.

The Earth Crystal Spider looked at the Five Elements Monkey’s eyes and felt somewhat scared, sensing that it wanted to eat itself.

Monkeys shouldn’t eat spiders, right?
