My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Chapter 452: Four Hundred Twenty-Five: Signal

“Master, the signal launched by the Demon Clan’s Demon Suppression Star has been received and is waiting for a return signal,” said Pu Tao.

“How far away is it?” Xu Fan opened his eyes and asked.

“It’s nearly across the entire Central Continent,” replied Pu Tao.

Xu Fan silently calculated the distance and spread his hands, saying, “Isn’t that doomed? I won’t see them in decades, I guess.”

“If a large amount of energy is consumed to break the seal, a teleportation array can be opened for a short time.”

“Now we are just waiting for a response from there, to determine the exact location.” added Pu Tao.

“There’s no point, moreover, where would we get such a massive amount of energy to break open the teleportation array?”

Just then, the cloud that was blocking the sun above Xu Fan was pushed aside by the breeze, and a ray of sunlight directly stabbed into Xu Fan’s eyes.

“For a teleportation array, it’s not worth taking such measures.” said Xu Fan, looking at the sun. There was a vast amount of energy there that could break the teleportation seal.

If he could really reach that level though, he might ascend to the Immortal World long before, and it would be better if he used that time to teach more disciples.

“Master, at the current rate, it would take nine thousand years to reach the kind of energy output required.” Pu Tao said comfortingly.

“Why is it four thousand years faster than the last calculation?” asked Xu Fan.

“Due to the discovered Spiritual Mine and changes in the types of alloys, the efficiency is greatly improved.” explained Pu Tao.

“Understood.” said Xu Fan.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Refining Equipment Peak, Xiang Yun was presently watching Er Tie’s hands holding a Treasure Spirit Hammer and hammering an unformed spiritual sword.

“Junior Fellow Er Tie, the Treasure Spirit Swords you forge are of very high quality. Although they are Second-tier Treasure Artifacts, their power is no less than Spiritual Swords of the Fourth Tier,” Xiang Yun said with a smile as he watched Er Tie, who was crafting a spiritual sword.

A while ago, Xiang Yun wanted to find a Artifact Refiner at Refining Equipment Peak to refine several spiritual swords to serve as the core of the sword array and casually saw Er Tie hammering a spiritual sword.

What is the greatest fortune for a cultivator of the Sword Formation Dao? An inexhaustible spiritual sword? A Artifact Refiner who can quickly refine high-quality spiritual swords?

Xiang Yun encountered both of these.

The two of them quickly developed a deep friendship like a fire burning dry tinder.

“Brother Xiang Yun, don’t flatter me. I can only forge some spiritual swords and spiritual blades. I’m nothing compared to the other brothers of Refining Equipment Peak,” Er Tie said modestly as he crafted the spiritual sword.

“Don’t belittle yourself. Your skill in forging spiritual swords alone is enough to attract attention from sword cultivators.” Xiang Yun said with a smile. Ever since he exchanged points for ten Second-tier Treasure Artefacts’ spiritual swords from Er Tie, his combat power had surged.

“Ha ha, Brother Xiang Yun, you are kidding.”

At that moment, with Er Tie’s final hammer strike, a Third-tier Treasure Artifact spiritual sword was formed, radiating a flowing light.

Er Tie handed the spiritual sword to Xiang Yun.

“Brother Xiang Yun, this is the twenty-third spiritual sword. Thank you for looking after my business,” Er Tie expressed his gratitude.

He knew that the thing most abundant in the Sect’s Treasure Vault was magical treasures. From the initial artifacts to the top-level Dao tools, nothing was lacking; all the expected and unexpected items could be found in the Sect’s Treasure Vault.

It’s said that in a mysterious place in the sect, hundreds of artifact refiners are devoted to crafting artifacts for the sect. Hence, in the sect, the least valuable profession might be the artifact refiner.

“You still have seventy-seven spiritual swords left, Junior Brother. Keep going.” Xiang Yun laughed as he transferred the points to Er Tie.

“Senior Brother Xiang Yun, this is too much.” Er Tie said as he looked at the incoming points.

“Consider the excess as your hardship fee. The spiritual swords you’ve refined possess a unique power, making them even more valuable.” Xiang Yun chuckled, then he took out several bags of the cafeteria’s special deep-sea shrimp chips snacks from his Space Ring.

“I heard your little sister likes this snack, so I bought some.” Xiang Yun said. Every half month, he would see a slightly chubby little girl pestering the Chief Chef of the Hidden Spirit Sect at the cafeteria on the Main Peak, asking to be taken in as a disciple to learn cooking. He later found out that the little girl was Er Tie’s sister.

“Ha ha. Has my sister’s reputation already reached you?” Er Tie laughed, a little embarrassed.

Just then, a small-sized Spirit Boat pulled up in front of Er Tie’s Cave Mansion, and a little girl carrying snacks walked in.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Seeing Xiang Yun, Er Yuan bowed politely. She knew this was either her brother’s friend or guest.

“Hello, Junior Sister.” Xiang Yun smiled.

Next, Er Yuan noticed the bags of deep-sea shrimp chips on the table and was immediately delighted.

“Ah, thank you, Brother. I love these deep-sea shrimp chips, but the master of the main peak doesn’t make them often.” Er Yuan opened a bag immediately and began to eat joyfully.

“Amazing, you have no manners. These shrimp chips were brought especially for you by Senior Brother Xiang Yun. You should thank him.” Er Tie addressed her seriously. Enjoying food was fine, but one mustn’t forget manners.

“Thank you, senior brother, for gifting me the shrimp chips. I, Er Yuan, will remember this forever~~” Er Yuan dropped to her knees, speaking in a loud and clear voice, like a hero.

“……..” Er Tie was speechless.

“This is too much…….” Xiang Yun immediately helped Er Yuan up, looking bemused at this food-loving Junior Sister.

“Senior Brother, you’re a good person~” Er Yuan said, moved, while munching on shrimp chips.

Now, Er Yuan listed him as the fourth person she should thank in her heart.

Why fourth? Because Xiang Yun was the fourth person to bring her food voluntarily, and it was her favorite deep-sea shrimp chips.

Until Xiang Yun left, Er Yuan kept watching the direction in which he’d left, unable to let go.

“I wonder what Senior Brother Xiang Yun will bring me next time, and how I should thank him?” Er Yuan wondered aloud.

Seeing his little sister’s lingering eyes, Er Tie felt a headache coming on. He wondered what would happen if someone who coveted her beauty tried to tempt her with food.

“Er Yuan, if someone offers you snacks or food to become his Dao Companion, you can’t agree!” Er Tie said seriously.

“Brother, I just like to eat, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid.” Er Yuan gave her brother a look and returned to her room, anticipating what the Main Peak cafeteria would serve for lunch. She was hoping for a crab meat banquet.

At that time, Xiang Yun was on his way back to his own small courtyard to pack up for a mission when he saw a Cloud Flower Deer emerge from a spatial rift below, with a spiritual sword of unknown material in its mouth.

“Pu Tao, did you pick that up?” Xiang Yun asked.

“Already detected, thank you for the prompt. Reward: one thousand points.” Pu Tao’s voice sounded.

“One thousand points!” Xiang Yun was delighted.

Soon, the sword that the Flower Cloud Deer had brought was in Xu Fan’s hand. There was also a Cloud Flower Deer caught by a giant spiritual hand.
