My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

“Recruit new Esteemed Ones.” Xu Fan rubbed his chin and said, as if opening up a new line of thought.

“It’s not impossible, but our sect is also in a difficult situation, and it hasn’t come to that point yet.”

“Average Esteemed Ones are useless, and recruiting powerful ones into the sect without knowing their true nature can easily lead to trouble.” Xu Fan thought for a moment before saying.

“Elder Zhan Ling fears reincarnation and heavy cultivation. Without an Esteemed One’s combat power in the sect, accidents are likely to happen.”

“Elder Zhan Ling, you can rest assured. Within a hundred years, there will be a Mahayana level puppet in the sect.”

“It can replace Elder Zhan Ling to guard the sect.” Xu Fan said with relief.

“A Mahayana level puppet.” Zhan Ling let out a sigh of relief.

It was fine as long as it was just a puppet.

“After reincarnation and heavy cultivation, you can slowly cultivate and make up for all the regrets of the past.” Xu Fan said.

“Of course, with the guidance of the Great Master, it is hopeful to advance to the invincible realm in the future.” Zhan Ling said with a smile.

In the Demon Sect, a former Grand Elder had once commented on him, saying that there was no hope of reaching the invincible realm in this life and that he could ascend early to find his opportunities in the Immortal World.

He was unconvinced at the time, having just reached the Mahayana Realm. But as he cultivated deeper, he knew the Great Supreme Elder was right.

“The invincible realm is still far away, and the road ahead is long.” Xu Fan looked at the vast Sky Blue Ling Liquid Lake in front of him and said.

“I will follow in the footsteps of the Great Master in the future.”

Zhan Ling felt that he has chosen the right path to follow.

“How’s your Butcher Brother lately?” Xu Fan asked during the lull.

“He’s fine. Recently, he just advanced to the Seventh Order Tianjue Master and is earning spirit stones to buy new puppets.” Zhan Ling said with a laugh.

Many years of interaction had deepened the friendship between him and the middle-aged butcher. Recently, they even developed a fascination of going to the Soul Medical Center together.

“A true deep equipment enthusiast.” Xu Fan laughed.

“He’s nearly completed collecting all the puppet swordsmen from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Void Cultivation Stage, truly contributing a lot to our sect’s income.” Zhan Ling said.

“A high-quality, tasteful crop~” That was Xu Fan’s evaluation of the middle-aged butcher. He felt that if everyone was like him, a perfect internal circulation could form.

“Some time later, we’ll find a Demon Clan Refiner Grandmaster to specially customize a set of swordsman puppets for him.” Xu Fan said.

“On behalf of the middle-aged Butcher, I would like to thank the Great Master.” Zhan Ling said.

“What’s there to thank? The required amount of Spirit Stones is still needed.”

Freeloading was out of the question.

At this moment, Pu Tao’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Master, Xiong Li and Xiang Yun have detected a large-scale Spirit Vein outside the sect, guarded by a great clan. They request support.”

“A large-scale Spirit Vein, that’s interesting. Dispatch a team of puppets and two Railguns to see if this clan is soft or tough.” Xu Fan said casually.

“Great Master, why not let me handle this task?”

“Otherwise, it will just be puppets against the Demon Clan. I’ll go right now.” Zhan Ling said excitedly. It was time for him to showcase his abilities.

Upon finishing his sentence, he eagerly transformed into a blood shadow and flew towards the direction indicated by Pu Tao.

“Maybe after the puppets have been refined, the second Immortal Tool can be given to Elder Zhan Ling.” Xu Fan rubbed his chin and said.

Over the years, Zhan Ling had indeed made many contributions to the Hidden Spirit Sect, so Xu Fan had this idea.

“Nevermind, let’s wait until after he undergoes Reincarnation.”

Xu Fan stood up and flew towards the Scripture Pavilion where he still had one more task to complete.

As soon as Xu Fan entered the gate of Scripture Repository, he saw Zhang Xueling, with his white hair and declining energy, studying a Jade Slip.

“I gave you a Beauty Preserving Pill back then. Why didn’t you take it?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“Greetings to the Great Master.”

Zhang Xueling, who had originally reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, is now at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer due to the decline of his energy and blood.

“I want to experience the entire process of life and death reincarnation.”

“Birth, growth, youth, peak, decline, and destruction,” Zhang Xueling said.

At this moment, Xu Fan looked at Zhang Xueling with a strange expression in his eyes.

You didn’t even finish elementary school before starting to learn about college-level knowledge, no wonder your energy and blood declined so quickly.

“What insights have you gained?” Xu Fan asked.

“None, I only experienced the decline of energy and blood and the regression of my cultivation level,” Zhang Xueling said.

“Of course, you can’t comprehend it. What you’re talking about is the Way of Reincarnation, which is not something you can touch at your current realm.”

“Originally, you could have lived for over a hundred years, but now, with your current situation, one year is questionable,” Xu Fan said gloomily.

Sure enough, he’s a Dao lunatic, daring to contemplate anything.

“I know, so didn’t the Great Master come to see me?”

Zhang Xueling, looking old and decrepit, opened his toothlessly grinning mouth to speak.

“When do you plan to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage? Do you wish to do it at the last moment before death?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes, since I started contemplating it, I must not give up halfway,” Zhang Xueling said slowly.

“You, you… in the future, just live in the Scripture Repository for the rest of your life,” Xu Fan said unhappily.

Xu Fan formed seals with both hands, and the Dao Scripture appeared in his hands. He then slapped it into Zhang Xueling’s body, adding a layer of insurance to prevent him from failing to halt his progress at the last moment.

“Thank you, Great Master,” Zhang Xueling said.

“Luckily you’re staying in the Scripture Repository. I’m looking forward to the day you come out.”

Xu Fan was about to leave when Zhang Xueling stopped him, “Great Master, please wait; your disciple has a request.”

“What else is there?”

“Recently, there have been very few divine abilities and cultivation techniques created by the Great Master. The Scripture Repository has not received any new stock for many days,” Zhang Xueling said with a grin.

“Have you already comprehended all the divine abilities and cultivation techniques in the Scripture Repository?” Xu Fan asked indifferently.

“Disciple has finished reading them, but not fully comprehended them yet,” Zhang Xueling said with a lowered head.

“Fine, I’ll have Pu Tao send a batch over later,” Xu Fan said before leaving.

Zhang Xueling is one of his more attentive disciples. Xu Fan knew that this kid wouldn’t live much longer upon seeing his condition. His plan to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage at the last moment would most likely fail.

That’s why Xu Fan made a special trip, only to be urged to update it.

“Pu Tao, put the beginner’s version of the East Wind Divine Skill into the Scripture Repository,” Xu Fan ordered.

“Understood, Master,” Pu Tao replied.

“You can study this set of divine skills thoroughly; it should keep you occupied during the Qi Refining stage,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

There are many confidential cultivation techniques and divine skills derived from his deductions in Pu Tao’s database, which are no worse than those in the Scripture Repository.

These were all deduced when he was bored inside the Yuan Bell Sword.

Not long after Xu Fan left, a puppet brought more than fifty jade slips to Zhang Xueling.

“Dongfeng Series Divine Skills, created by the Great Master. The names are always so strange,” Zhang Xueling laughed while picking up a jade slip to read.

Every time new cultivation techniques and divine skills were sent to the Scripture Repository, it was the happiest time for him.
