My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"Master, I just wanted to go visit the Tree of Everything," Han Feiyu said anxiously, cursing the Acquired Spiritual Treasure he recently obtained in his mind.

I spent so many Fairy Jades to activate you, and you bragged about being able to hide from everyone’s perception, yet you failed in practical application.

"Since you are cultivating in the Immortal Realm, try to avoid returning to the sect. And don’t rely on that Acquired Spiritual Treasure you have, it seems a bit unreliable." Xu Fan said lightly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just at this moment, a Spirit Snake Shadow drilled out from Han Feiyu’s body.

"You dare to say that this Spiritual Treasure is unreliable!?"

"Back then, I alone suppressed all the Supreme Treasures in the Three Thousand Realms, and still..."

Xu Fan didn’t listen to the Artifact Spirit’s nonsense, he turned to Pu Tao and said: "Suppress it."

"As you command."

In a blink of an eye, it felt like the Spiritual Treasure had lost its spirit.

"This Acquired Spiritual Treasure possesses an ominous attribute, and it often brings misfortune to its master."

"If it kills its master, it becomes stronger. If this Spiritual Treasure entangles you, be careful as it will slowly take control over you." Xu Fan warned his beloved disciple.

"Master, I’ve spent 20,000,000 Fairy Jades to activate this Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Is it really useless?" Han Feiyu asked with a bit of frustration. Anyone who saw him would think he’s worried about the 20,000,000 Fairy Jades he spent.

"Of course, it has its uses. You just need to re-refine it, extinguish the Artifact Spirit, and nurture a new one." Xu Fan said.

"Go and cultivate first, we’ll retrieve this Acquired Spiritual Treasure after a thousand years of cultivation."

"Thank you, Master," Han Feiyu gratefully said.

A teleportation array appeared under Han Feiyu’s feet, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the Hall of Teleportation in Golden Device City.

"The fellow Daoist above, please come down quickly. You’re interfering with the next group of teleports. If that happens, you’ll have to compensate with Fairy Jades."

A voice woke Han Feiyu from his stupor.

"Oh~"

Han Feiyu immediately descended the stairs.

He took out his Communication Device and contacted Wang Xiangchi.

"Master, I saw on the Sect Forum, Senior Brother and Bear Strength Master went to the Frontier Battlefield. Shall we go and check it out?" Han Feiyu said.

One of the reasons for his return to the Sect was to use the Tree of Everything to get some one-time-use Magical Treasures for the battlefield.

Wang Xiangchi on the other side of the Communication Device pondered for a while.

"Let’s go. It’s good for training, plus, we can accumulate more Merit and Qi Fortune for the Human Clan. The more, the better."

"Contact WuJi in a bit, we’ll go together."

"Alright. Master, shall we all gather in Golden Device City? I’ll take you to Star Moon City. There, we can use the Super long-distance teleportation array to go directly to the Border Fortress." Han Feiyu said. As a exceedingly wealthy person, this is a necessity when going out.

"Sounds good~" Wang Xiangchi knows his talented disciple very well, so he didn’t bother with the formalities.

At a pavilion by the Immortal Liquid Lake, Xu Fan was chatting with the Sweeping Old Man.

"Why haven’t you advanced to the True Immortal Stage yet?" Xu Fan asked the Sweeping Old man in confound.

"It’s not yet time," the Sweeping Old Man said quietly.

"Well, you may need tens of thousands of years to make up for what you’re lacking. You better be psychologically prepared." Xu Fan advised.

"I understand. However, right now, our sect is free of external threats and I don’t have any internal worries. What is the rush to advance?" the sweeping old man chuckled, then took out the tools to create his next broom.

"Whatever you wish~"

At this moment, the Immortal Nectar Lake started to churn, and a Tianji Turtle the size of a car crawled out from the lake.

"Huuu~" The Tianji Turtle made a soft call as it saw Xu Fan.

"Raised it for so many years and it’s only this big. There wouldn’t be much to eat if I killed it for its meat," Xu Fan sighed gently.

The Tianji Turtle, which was just climbing ashore, suddenly froze. Its eyes were full of disbelief as it looked at Xu Fan.

Someone in this world wanted to eat a Tianji Turtle.

"This old turtle just woke up not long ago, don’t scare it, Great Master," the sweeping old man chuckled.

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

"Master, the Guardian True Immortal, along with a group of people claiming to be Inspection Envoys from the Immortal Realm, are visiting our sect."

"Please guide them to the Welcoming Hall," Xu Fan said.

In the greeting hall, Xu Fan looked at the visitors and asked, "It is our sect’s honor to be visited by fellow daoists."

"Great Master, you flatter us. This time, we have come to recruit a batch of talented disciples from your prestigious Sect to serve in our Inspection Hall. The benefits are very generous," the middle-aged man at the forefront said.

"Does the Inspection Hall patrol various Immortal Realms? And to whom do you report?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

Since arriving in the Immortal World, he observed a strange phenomenon: the sects in the Immortal World didn’t seem to be much interested in dominating a particular Immortal Realm or its surrounding areas.

They were primarily focused on their territory; expansion was extremely limited.

Typically, in an Immortal Realm, the official administrators are disciples from the most influential sect in that Realm, who have organized management institutions.

"As for the Inspection Envoy role, the disciples from my sect have at most reached the True Immortal stage, and most of them are still quasi-Immortals. Their strength might actually trouble the Inspection Hall," Xu Fan said modestly.

"Great Master, please don’t be too hasty to refuse. There are numerous benefits to having a disciple join the Inspection Hall. Once you see the welfare benefits, you’ll understand," the middle-aged man at the forefront affirmed.

Xu Fan took a look and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Surprisingly, there really were good opportunities within the Inspection Hall.

"Fellow Daoist, I can see from your recruitment criteria that the minimum requirement is True Immortal."

"I’ll recommend it to disciples at the True Immortal stage at a later point. If they are interested, I’ll encourage them to join the Inspection Hall. How does that sound?" Xu Fan suggested after some thought.

"Good. If there are disciples from your Sect interested in joining the Inspection Hall, please directly contact the Guardian True Immortal of Golden Device City."

After saying this, the group from Inspection Hall left. Their visit to the sect was nothing more than a routine matter, merely a recruitment drive.

Only the Guardian True Immortal stayed behind.

"Great Master, the Academy has received acknowledgment from the Heavenly Dao Will of the Immortal World. Now we can start expanding enrollments."

"In the future, your sect’s wealth will certainly proliferate, with an abundance of Fairy Jade," the Guardian True Immortal said with a congratulatory grin.

After their Golden Device Academy received the acknowledgment from the Heavenly Dao Will, he instantly became the brightest star among the Guardian True Immortals. The points he gained shot up rapidly, and many Immortal Tools and heavy treasures, which he had not dared to dream of before, were now within his reach with just a little more effort.

"Congratulations to both of us. After the disciples of my sect returned from Golden Device City, they said the city is now several times more prosperous than when they first arrived. I suppose your performance must also be on the rise," Xu Fan said with a smile. This was a win-win situation, with both parties getting what they wanted.

"Indeed, as long as we manage the Golden Device Academy well, the Golden Device City will certainly return to its former prosperity," the Guardian True Immortal responded with anticipation.
