My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Three hours later, Xu Fan looked at the shining clean iron plate and scratched his head, as it seemed to have no effect.

The only difference was that the runes on the iron plate seemed clearer now. “Glowing Rune, Tiger Power Rune, Quicksand Rune?”

“What’s the connection between them?” Xu Fan looked at the iron plate and said with doubt.

At this moment, Xu Fan took out a rune pen and began to draw on the iron plate.

“Maybe 1 just need to draw runes on the iron plate to unlock its secret.” The iron plate, as tough as a magical treasure, was easily carved with Xu Fan’s runes.

Right after Xu Fan finished writing the runes, a shadow of an hourglass appeared on the iron plate. Judging by the speed of the sands, it was about half an incense stick’s time.

It gave an inexplicable feeling that this was a secret treasure that tested an artifact refiner’s rune proficiency.

Like a splashed ink painting, the runes filled the iron plate in less than half an incense stick’s time, and then there was no response.

Waiting for the sands in the iron plate’s hourglass to run out, the iron plate was surrounded by a light cluster and then turned into a rusted iron plate once again.

“l @#$%@#$%” Xu Fan realized his guess was wrong, as it wasn’t simply about filling the iron plate with runes.

“Do I need to combine those three runes?”

Thinking of this, Xu Fan was instantly full of energy.

The Spiritual Fire started burning, and the magical treasure brush was set to work.

Three hours later, the iron plate was as good as new again.

“Spring Wood Rune, Giant Rock Rune, Feather Transformation Rune.” Relying on his years of experience in artifact refining, Xu Fan imagined an array that connected the three runes in an instant.

“Twining Vine Stone Killing Array.” This was the name Xu Fan gave to this formation.

Xu Fan’s brush strokes were divine. Soon, complicated rune arrays formed on the iron plate.

At this point, the array on the iron plate disappeared, revealing a Chinese character meaning “excellent”. Then, a ray of spiritual light carrying the skill of rune willpower entered Xu Fan’s brow.

“Holy crap, Dragon Power Rune, Light Killing Rune, Giant Spirit Rune, Heaven Suppressing Rune………..” Xu Fan’s expression looked like he had just won millions.

“My god, these are the rarest runes! Is this the reward for completing the test?” Xu Fan was overjoyed.

He had a hunch that this might be an artifact refining inheritance left by a grandmaster artifact refiner before ascending.

When Xu Fan looked at the iron plate again, it had returned to its original rusted form.

“Continue~~” Looking at the iron plate, Xu Fan’s determined nature was revealed.

Two hours later, thanks to Xu Fan’s increased proficiency in removing rust, it only took two hours this time.

“Frost Rune, Blazing Fire Rune, Wood Spirit Rune, Gold Killing Rune.”

“Piece of cake, this is not my limit.”

Xu Fan excitedly picked up the rune pen and continued drawing.

Five days later, Xu Yuexian brought a portion of light meals to Xu Fan’s refining room.

Normally, the siblings would not disturb Xu Fan when he was refining artifacts or practicing alchemy. However, these past few days, there were sounds of their beloved master’s helpless and angry roars coming from the refining room.

But every once in a while, they would also hear their master’s excited voice.

Xu Fan had huge dark circles under his eyes as he looked at Xu Yuexian, who was holding the food, and felt warmth in his heart.

“Master, are you alright?”

“You often tell us not to be anxious about anything, and that the path of cultivating immortality should be steady and consistent.” Xu Yuexian said, looking at Xu Fan with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

“Haha, that’s right, Little Moon Immortal has learned how to educate others.” Xu Fan laughed, then put down his rune pen and took the chopsticks handed over by Xu Yuexian, and began to eat.

“Hmm, the dishes cooked by Moon Immortal always taste so good.” Xu Fan praised, after working on the iron plate for five consecutive days, it was time to take a break. The five-day test of rune arrays had exhausted all of Xu Fan’s energy.

In these five days, Xu Fan had already passed 32 levels and obtained more than 200 rare runes that were hard to come by in ordinary times.

He had a feeling that once he passed the 36th rune level, he would gain the approval of this secret treasure.

“Moon Immortal, you go ahead with your work, I’ll go to sleep after eating, don’t worry about me.” Xu Fan said, and then made up his mind to set up a soundproofing array in the refining room.

“Then I’ll wait for Master to finish eating before I go back.”

“Alright.”

After finishing his meal, Xu Fan put away the iron plate and went straight to his room to sleep, feeling like he was going to fall asleep as soon as he lay down on his bed after staying up all night.

At an unknown distance from Heavenly Gate, Ye Xiaoyao was being chased and killed by a group of Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts.

“Damn it, Old Jian, you have to think of a way, otherwise both of us will be finished.” Ye Xiaoyao shouted in his heart, he found this location from an ancient book, saying that there were a lot of rare spiritual mines here.

“Damn, the Origin Spirit Energy I just absorbed from the treasure is going to be used up again.” Old Jian said.

“Six hundred miles to your left front, there is an abandoned teleportation array, fly there, and 1 can activate it.”

“Where can that teleportation array take us?” Ye Xiaoyao dodged the attack from the demonic beasts behind him while speaking. If it weren’t for his extraordinary sword control speed, he would have been reduced to nothing but bone dust by now.

“Don’t worry about that, saving our lives is what’s important. It might be your destiny.” Old Jian casually said. He had experienced life-threatening situations like this countless times, so he seemed indifferent, just like when he was about to be wiped out by the youngest Immortal Emperor’s last trace of a True Spirit.

Ye Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and accelerated toward the direction Old Jian pointed.

Meanwhile, the teleportation array in the distance was being rapidly repaired by a mysterious force.

“Huh, this teleportation array looks familiar, I think I have seen it before.” Old Jian said doubtfully. When he attached himself to that ring, he was just a little True Spirit that could disappear at any time, losing at least ninety percent of his memory.

“Never mind that, focus on escaping.”

Ye Xiaoyao dived into the teleportation array, and the array was activated.

Outside the Feiyu Boundary, a stream of spiritual light protected by Starlight Power was speeding towards the billions of miles away Demon Spirit World.

Xu Fan, who was asleep, suddenly jerked awake and then turned over and continued to sleep.

When Xu Fan opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the third day.

Looking at the sun through the glazed window, Xu Fan stretched lazily.

“What a good sleep.”

Releasing a water ball spell casually, Xu Fan washed up simply and walked out of the room, only to see the siblings were practicing together.

“What’s the point of a cannon mage and a treasure-seeking assassin sparring?”

“It always ends with the assassin winning, anyway.”

As soon as Xu Fan spoke, a golden short sword was placed on Xu Gangs neck.

The battle ended, and Xu Fan casually summoned an Earth Spirit Giant to repair the damaged battle arena.

“Master, is it because I’m too stupid that I always lose?” Xu Gang asked shyly, with a guilty conscience, as he walked up to Xu Fan, feeling that he had failed his master’s expectations.

Upon hearing his senior disciple’s words, Xu Fan patted Xu Gangs head and said: “It’s not your fault, it’s professional restraint. It will get better in the later stages.”

“Or if you have your master’s combat talent, that would also work..”
