My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Golden Device City teleportation hall, after nine turns and eighteen twists, Pang Fu finally emerged from the teleportation array.

At this very moment, the Spatial Immortal Artifact, which was unbearably red hot in his touch, was finally about to be handed over to the Sect.

Pang Fu turned around and headed towards a special teleportation array and was then transported to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Pu Tao, I need to see the Great Master," Pang Fu excitedly said.

"The Master has prepared a banquet awaiting for your return."

A teleportation array appeared in front of Pang Fu.

In the small courtyard, dishes of immortal delicacies that Pang Fu enjoyed were already prepared.

Every dish not only tasted good but also acted as a great nourishment for cultivation and Dao comprehension.

"Great Master, I have accomplished my mission. The Time Heavy Treasure, with a market value of 500 million Immortal Jades, has been brought back." Pang Fu removed the Immortal Artifact Space Ring from his hand, and directly summoned a special channel to transport it to the treasure house.

"We have already signed a Heavenly Contract with Wan Jie Mountain, and in the future, we can purchase Time Heavy Treasures from them at a low price."

"In return, if there is any problem with the production line in the later stage, we have to repair it for free," Pang Fu said.

"Agreed." Xu Fan smiled and nodded, not expecting that three unnecessary production lines could be sold at such a high price.

"We have enough Time Heavy Treasures for now, later you can purchase Time Heavy Treasures and Immortal Mines together." Xu Fan took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Pang Fu, which contained the required Immortal Mines for refining Golden Immortal level Puppets.

"Understood," Pang Fu nodded and said.

"Come, let’s celebrate your success!" Xu Fan personally poured a cup of wine for Pang Fu.

Over these years, Pang Fu has been rushing around in the Immortal World for the Time Heavy Treasures, even neglecting his cultivation, just to bring back sufficient Time Heavy Treasures for him.

They had tasted all five flavors of the dishes and three rounds of wine had been served.

"Do you have any wishes?" Xu Fan looked at Pang Fu and said.

"Wishes?" Pang Fu was first taken aback, then he laughed and said, "Of course, it is for our Sect to stand at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. By that time, as the director of the Business Department of our Sect, even the Da Luo Saints will have to give me some respect."

Pang Fu’s face showed a look of anticipation, fantasizing about what the Sect would look like at that time.

"Your wish is too simple, as long as the Sect develops, we will reach that step sooner or later." Xu Fan laughed and said.

"Choose another one."

"I once saw the president of the Tianding Branch of the Wood Origin Immortal World at the headquarters of the Tianding Commerce Guild, who was at the peak of True Immortal cultivation, and was followed by two Da Luo Saints as guards."

"When I saw this scene, I was very envious and fantasized that I will have such a day in the future."

"This is interesting. After the Sect develops for a few more millions of years, I will refine two Daluo Golden Immortal Puppets exclusively for you. If you bring these out, they will be more intimidating than real Daluo Saints." Xu Fan said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Golden Immortal Period Puppet that was on standby.

"This is the first Golden Immortal Period Puppet refined by the Sect, and it needs to protect the Sect."

"When we are more affluent in the future, I will give you two as bodyguards first." Xu Fan raised his glass and clinked with Pang Fu.

Pang Fu looked at the Golden Immortal Puppet behind Xu Fan, his face started to get excited, not knowing what to say.

Then he was overcome with a drunk spirit and directly fell onto the dining table.

"Pu Tao, send Minister Pang back to his Cave Mansion and take good care of him," Xu Fan said.

"Yes, sir."

Two Puppets lifted Pang Fu and took him away.

In the Origin World, Xu Fan stepped into the small world dedicated to Time Acceleration.

"Pu Tao, accelerate time to its full extent, until I become a True Immortal," Xu Fan said.

"Yes, sir."

An unmistakable air of a Dao Artifact taking form spread out throughout the Refining Peak of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

A chilling Sword Qi burst out from the heart of Refining Peak, shooting straight up into the sky.

A pure silver-colored Dao Artifact Spirit Sword materialized in front of Guang Xu.

The unique feedback of a successfully formed Dao Artifact surged from Guang Xu, directly promoting him from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

Like a fish in water, the newly formed Dao Artifact Spirit Sword swam around Guang Xu.

Despite having successfully forged the Dao Artifact, Guang Xu seemed rather unsatisfied.

At this point, the fellow named Stupid walked into Guang Xu’s Refining Palace.

"Congratulations on your advancement to a Master Refiner, junior apprentice~" Stupid expressed his admiration in envy, praising how this junior apprentice of his possessed extraordinary talent in forging artifacts and had become a Master Refiner in just over 100 years.

"I was hoping to surprise Master by becoming a Master Refiner within a century, but I didn’t expect it to take such a long time," Guang Xu said somewhat dishearteningly.

"Are you not satisfied with becoming a Master Refiner in a little over 100 years?" Stupid asked, his heart aching subtly.

"Becoming a Master Refiner in over a hundred years, I feel that I’ve let down Master’s teachings," Guang Xu said, his head held low.

Beyond the initial period of their apprenticeships, he hadn’t heard any praises from Master. He had hoped to become a Master Refiner within a century, but not even this wish had he managed to fulfil.

"You’re too eager for praise from the Great Master, but becoming a Master Refiner in just over 100 years is already a commendable feat."

"Even in the Immortal World, this threshold deters more than 90% of artifact refiners."

"For instance, I haven’t missed a single lesson from the Great Master’s teachings, yet I still can’t forge any Dao Artifacts that would catch the Great Master’s eyes." Although Stupid felt pain, he did not forget to comfort Guang Xu in front of him.

"Senior brother Stupid, you are not like ordinary Artifact Refining Grandmasters, don’t limit yourself to such conventional methods," Guang Xu said while stopping the Dao Artifact Spirit Sword which was hovering around him.

"Pu Tao, is Master free now?" Guang Xu asked.

"Master is currently in seclusion. But, I can appraise the Dao Artifact Spirit Sword you’ve just forged on his behalf. Out of 10, I rate it as 8. It’s a fine specimen among Dao Artifacts." Pu Tao said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Can I get Master’s praise then?" Guang Xu asked anxiously.

"If you manage to forge a Dao Artifact that scores more than 9, you should be able to earn the Master’s praise," Pu Tao said after a moment of consideration.

"Thank you, Pu Tao." Guang Xu expressed his gratitude.

Just then, an even purer Sword Intent appeared.

Atop the Refining Peak, a phantom image of an Immortal Sword materialized.

An endless stream of star-studded Sword Intent began to condense, ultimately forming a constellation of seven stars imprinted onto the phantom Immortal Sword.

Stupid and Guang Xu looked at each other. This aura was all too familiar to them. It was the unique aura of an Immortal Tool taking form.

"Based on the location, it must be the direction where junior apprentice Er Tie is located. I didn’t expect this kid to forge an Immortal Sword after decades of closed-door cultivation," Stupid said in admiration, a certain indescribable expression on his face.

Nevertheless, he could distinctively feel that his heart was aching even more.

"Junior Apprentice Er Tie has become an Artifact Refining Grandmaster!"

"How remarkable! Once this Immortal Sword is formed, I’m definitely going to go and learn from him," Guang Xu said without giving it much thought, his words reflecting pure joy.

At this moment, Xu Fan, who was in the middle of his time-accelerated cultivation, suddenly received a message from Pu Tao.

"Master, disciple number two, Er Tie, has just become the second disciple of the sect to be promoted to Artifact Refining Grandmaster, aside from you," Pu Tao reported.

"The second one?"
