My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, a spirit boat drifted with the wind.

On the spirit boat, two people were leisurely fishing.

"It has been ten years since we last met, hasn't it?" Wang Yulun said.

This whole time I've been refining puppets, and I've finally finished. Now I can relax a bit," Xu Fan said with a smile.

By the way, in all these years, how has the matter between you and your daughter's Master turned out?" Xu Fan gossiped.

What kind of question are you asking?"

"Didn't Pu Tao report to you? Senior Xiuxin has already entered the Tribulation Passage stage and has begun her closed-door cultivation," Wang Yulun said.

"Since she has reached the Tribulation Passage stage, it seems we need to prepare a bit," Xu Fan thought for a while and said.

What are you preparing for?" Wang Yulun asked curiously.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's the Heavenly Tribulation Energy Collector," Xu Fan laughed.

Last time he did not succeed, but this time he must make full preparations.

Is there really such a thing?"

Wang Yulun said as he hooked a proper big green fish.

"Ah, it's actually a genuine fish, not bad." Xu Fan sighed.

"During the time you have been refining puppets, I have come fishing here when I had nothing to do, and now I can catch some proper fish," Wang Yulun said with a smile, revealing a hint of showing off in his tone.

Is it time for my good brother to have a return on his investment and renew his subscription? Xu Fan thought to himself.

"Since you can catch normal fish, catch a few more, and we'll have a fish banquet tonight," Xu Fan said with a smile.

Isn't it a must? I have to let Brother Xu taste what the fish I caught are like?"

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Xu Fan suddenly received a message from the Flash Thunder Demon Lord.

Great Master, save me! There are four Demon Venerables behind me, and each of them has a higher combat power than me!"

Xu Fan saw that there was no Invincible Monster Venerable, so he did not bother to pay attention.

"Pu Tao, send out four Mahayana Puppets, which you have full control over, and let me see how much combat power you can bring forth."

Leave three to kill one," Xu Fan said.

A giant light curtain lit up not far from them.

The figures in the light curtain were those four Demon Venerables.

Which clan do they belong to?" Wang Yulun asked curiously.

"The Fire Cloud Bird Clan, a rather famous clan among the Demon Clan."

Do you want me to catch one for you to play with?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

It's not like before. Now he has the strength.

At this moment, four rays of escaping light rose from the Hidden Spirit Sect and flew towards the Flash Thunder Demon Lord's direction.

No need to go through all that trouble, I can catch my own. With the equipment Brother Xu gave me and my cultivation level going up, it's easy to catch a few little birds," Wang Yulun said.

Hearing his good brother say this, Xu Fan felt that it was time to get his good brother some new equipment.

But then, Xu Fan was a bit worried. After consuming so much over these years, there were hardly any Dao Artifact Level or Immortal Artifact Level spiritual ores left in the Sect.

They had all been taken to refine magical treasures and puppets.

A thunderbolt appeared not far from Xu Fan, transforming into the Flash Thunder Demon Lord.

The current Flash Thunder Demon Lord was extremely disheveled, with several deep wounds in his chest that reached down to his bones.

A jade bottle appeared in Xu Fan's hand and he threw it to the Flash Thunder Demon Lord.

"Sacred Bone Healing Pill, go back and recover well. You have worked hard," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Great Master, for the medicinal pill," said the Flash Thunder Demon Lord.

"You've worked hard, hurry back and heal," said Xu Fan.

The Flash Thunder Demon Lord nodded, turned into lightning, and flew towards the Hidden Spirit Sect.

At this moment, the battle within the light curtain had begun, and Wang Yulun watched with rapt attention.

Xu Fan slightly furrowed his brows.

This basic version of the Mahayana Puppet was slightly weaker than he had imagined.

"Pu Tao, how much of your calculating power is occupied by these four puppets' battles?" Xu Fan asked.

"About 10%, currently increasing slowly, testing where the limit is," Pu Tao replied.

"This calculation power level of the Mahayana Puppet is a bit weak, almost the same as Elder Zhan Ling at his peak," Xu Fan said, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Master, the prepared battle array has not been activated yet. If the battle array is operational, the effect will be better," Pu Tao said.

"Seems like I was too hasty. You can test it slowly," Xu Fan said.

"Yes, Master," Pu Tao replied.

"Brother Xu, our Hidden Spirit Sect is really getting better and better. I used to think that Nascent Soul Stage Puppets were incredibly impressive, but now we even have Mahayana Puppets, and not just one!" Wang Yulun exclaimed with emotion.

"All these were forced by others. If you don't have strong personal strength, you'll be easily bullied when discovered by others."

Wang Yulun nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just then, Wang Yulun's fishing rod sank, and a wooden box was immediately pulled up.

"These strange and curious things have come again," Wang Yulun sighed, looking at the box.

"Don't sigh, isn't this more interesting than fishing?" Xu Fan said with a smile.

He took the box, gently opened it, and found a nine-layered miniature treasure Pagoda inside, with each layer being a different color.

"Brother Xu, what is this?" Wang Yulun asked curiously.

"Obviously, it's a tower with only nine layers."

"..."

"Just kidding, I can't figure it out either." Xu Fan said as he gently touched the pagoda with one finger.

There was no response from the treasure pagoda.

"Maybe I used the wrong method?"

Xu Fan tried various methods to activate the tower but was unsuccessful.

"Interesting, this Pagoda must have a great background," Xu Fan commented.

In the past, when Xu Fan and Wang Yulun went fishing together, Xu Fan had never paid attention to the state of Wang Yulun's fishing rod.

This time he saw clearly that when Wang Yulun cast his line, the fish hook would enter a mysterious space; Xu Fan couldn't detect what was inside that space.

That simple and unadorned wooden box was pulled out by Wang Yulun's fish hook.

"Could it be an Ancient Immortal Artifact?" Xu Fan speculated, but then he dismissed the idea.

The rewards couldn't be that significant.

While Xu Fan and Wang Yulun were researching the Pagoda, the battle on the other side had already ended.

All three Demon Venerables of the Fire Cloud Bird Clan were beaten half-dead and thrown into the Ten Thousand Beast Cage.

Xu Fan and Wang Yulun gave up after some time of fruitless research.

"Brother Xu, just throw it in the treasure house to collect dust. It's useless," Wang Yulun suggested.

"Put it in the treasure house for now, and take it out for research another day when there's nothing else to do."
