My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

“After you left, the Great Master…”

As Li Xuandao enters the Hidden Spirit Island, Pu Tao finishes her sentence.

Upon entering Hidden Spirit Island, Li Xuandao senses a familiar aura.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Power of the Five Elements converges in his palm.

“This is the Five Elements Source Spiritual Power transformed from the Immortal Spirit Qi.”

“The conversion rate isn’t a problem, but is it a bit wasteful like this?”

Li Xuandao looks up at the still magnificent and dazzling Sky Blue Spirit Liquid Waterfall, which contains even more spiritual essence than before.

“I’ll visit Master first, and enjoy the scenery later.” He discovers that a lot has changed in the Hidden Spirit Sect while he was away.

At Xu Fan’s small courtyard, Li Xuandao performs the master-disciple ceremony.

“Master, your disciple has returned.”

Looking at the master’s strong legs before him, Li Xuandao suddenly feels hopeful about the future.

As long as he holds on to his master’s support and maintains their master-disciple relationship, he might be able to lead a life he promised his mother as a child.

“You’re back. It must have been quite a journey.” Xu Fan said kindly.

“Your disciple didn’t suffer, it’s just that the journey took a bit longer.”

A jade box appears in Li Xuandao’s hand.

“Master, this is a gift that your disciple specially picked for you. Please accept it.” Li Xuandao respectfully hands the jade box to Xu Fan.

“It’s the thought that counts.” Xu Fan smiles and takes the jade box from Li Xuandao.

He gently opens it, revealing a green jade stone in front of him.

“Heaven Luck Stone?” Xu Fan was puzzled, he thought Heaven Luck Stones had gone extinct in this world.

“Master is knowledgeable and well-informed. This is indeed a Heaven Luck Stone.” Li Xuandao said admiringly.

“Heaven Luck Stones shouldn’t be in this world.” Xu Fan wondered aloud.

“Your disciple found it in the Demon World and immediately thought of you, Master.”

Hearing his disciple’s words, Xu Fan laughed.

“Well done. The Heaven Luck Stone is something I’ve been looking for. I owe you one for this.” Xu Fan smiled and said.

“Master will never owe your disciple anything. This Heaven Luck Stone is a sincere tribute from me to you.” Li Xuandao’s eyes were filled with sincerity.

“Alright then, I accept your filial piety.”

“I forgot to ask, how did your cultivation journey go?” Xu Fan asked with concern.

“Everything went smoothly, and there were even quite a few extra gains.” Li Xuandao smiled and said, realizing that the Qi Fortune gathered on his body in this life was even greater than before, and numerous adventures awaited him.

“That’s good! You have your own ideas and there’s not much I can do to help you, but if you ever need anything from me in the future, just ask.” Xu Fan put away the Heaven Luck Stone and said.

“Master has already done a lot for me. It is a blessing that I’ve cultivated over hundreds of lifetimes to have you as a master.”

He had once wondered if he could encounter a Great Power before they rose to prominence, and if he did, he might not have to wait for his ninth reincarnation. Unexpectedly, he really encountered one.

“You, as long as you don’t betray me, you will always be my disciple.” Xu Fan said.

“It’s my fault.” Li Xuandao said.

“Never mind, let’s not talk about that anymore. What are you planning to do next? If you don’t want to go out, just stay in the Sect and cultivate peacefully.” Xu Fan said.

“I plan to go into closed-door cultivation next and not come out until I reach the Mahayana stage.” Li Xuandao said.

“Do you have confidence in handling your Thunder Tribulation? Before going into closed-door cultivation, check the treasure house and take any useful Dao tools.” Xu Fan said.

“As for the Thunder Tribulation, I won’t need external help, I can do it alone.” Li Xuandao gratefully said.

“Although you say that, I can’t let you face the Thunder Tribulation with just your physical body.”

“Before your closed-door cultivation, go to the Sect’s Trial Small World for some testing.”

“Leave everything else to me.” Xu Fan said.

“Your disciple shall follow your instructions.”

“Alright then, I have something to attend to and won’t chat with you any longer.”

Xu Fan transformed into a burst of Spiritual Qi and disappeared.

In the underground space, Xu Fan who was refining Immortal Tools received the memories transmitted from his temporary avatar.

“Xuan Dao sent a Heaven Luck Stone.” Xu Fan smiled and told the Number One avatar.

“Heaven Luck Stone, not bad. We can refine a few rings, wear one on each hand and keep them ready for use.” The First Clone avatar smiled and said.

“Used properly, it’s no less than an Immortal Tool.”

“The Qi Fortune Treasure refined from a Heaven Luck Stone, the longer you use it and wrap it with your own Qi, the better the effect will be. It might even help block disasters and dispel tribulations.” Xu Fan said.

This was the most fitting gift Xu Fan had received recently.

“Give me half of the Heaven Luck Stone so I can refine a Qi Fortune Treasure for Elder Brother Hall Master.” The First Clone avatar said.

“You’re in a hurry for that.” Xu Fan looked at his avatar, knowing what he was going to do.

“No rush, you have a hundred years to advance to the Integration Stage and become a true Artifact Refining Grandmaster. By then, even the Phoenix Divine Fire might not be able to withstand the consumption from me and the Second Clone.”

“That’s why I’m going to take a look at the Elder Brother’s inventory.” The First Clone avatar said while refining the Mahayana Puppet.

“Sharpening the knife doesn’t delay cutting the wood. Your approach is not wrong, but why use the Heaven Luck Stone? Can’t you use something else?” Xu Fan reluctantly said.

“How many things in our Hidden Spirit Sect are worthy of Brother’s attention? We can’t just give anything.”

“Qi Fortune Treasures are rare and can’t be sought at will.” The First Clone said.

“Alright, I’ll give you half.” Xu Fan reluctantly said.

“Don’t feel distressed, it’s not for nothing.” The First Clone avatar said.

Xu Fan nodded and continued refining the Immortal Tools.

Time flies when refining artifacts, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

“Master, this is the Treasure Five Elements Bead I refined. Please appraise it.” Zhang Daqi said.

At this moment, Xu Fan’s temporary avatar was looking at Zhang Daqi’s handed over Five Elements Bead.

“Not bad, there’s some craftsmanship in it, but it still lacks a bit of finesse. However, the impact is no longer that significant.” Xu Fan nodded with satisfaction.

He had different requirements for his disciples depending on their talent.

Those with high talent had high requirements, while those with low talent had relatively lower requirements. But both had one thing in common: they had to reach their own limits.

“Your control of Spiritual Fire and the coordination of different Spiritual Fires need to be slightly strengthened, then you’ll be qualified as an Artifact Refiner.” Xu Fan returned the Treasure Five Elements Bead to Zhang Daqi.

“Master, how far am I from becoming a Refining Master?” Zhang Daqi excitedly asked after hearing Xu Fan’s approval.

“What’s the rush? Do you want to learn to run before you can walk?” Xu Fan smiled and looked at his disciple.

“In that case, go refine customized treasures for the first and second generation disciples of the Sect. When you finish them all, you’ll know how far off you are.” Xu Fan smiled and said.
