My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"One percent!!" The two exclaimed in surprise.

Not because it was too little, but because it was too much.

Both of them had seen the scale of that Puppet Giant City, and it was comparable to a city with a population of millions in the Human Clan.

The two estimated that there were at least 500,000 puppets in the Giant City.

More than half of these 500,000 were mining an unknown type of spiritual mine every day.

Although they didn't know what the spiritual mine was, it must be extraordinary.

"If you want more, go to the Great Master to apply." The Mahayana Puppet said, looking at their expressions.

"Not less, it's too much!" Qian Wan Bing was delighted.

Although he claimed to have a puppet army of tens of thousands, most of them were not equipped with the same level of magical treasures.

Even if the sect had taken good care of him, he would have to buy the equipment needed for the puppets under his control one by one.

"I wonder how many puppets can be equipped this time." Qian Wan Bing drooled as he spoke.

"It's enough to fully equip your puppets." Xiong Li chuckled, then turned to the Mahayana puppet and asked, "Can we wait until we return to the sect to make our selections?"

He didn't feel safe carrying too many things on him.

"Yes, if you don't make your selection in time, we will convert your share into points." The Mahayana Puppet said considerately.

"Let's take a look first." Qian Wan Bing grinned.

In a short while, the Mahayana Puppet brought the two to the Puppet Giant City.

At this moment, the entire Puppet Giant City seemed to be oblivious to their presence, completely preoccupied with their work.

"Pu Tao, what's the quality of these puppets?" Qian Wan Bing curiously asked.

"The quality is not bad, better than the large number of puppets produced by the sect."

"Because they have self-awareness, can refine spiritual mines to fill themselves up and advance, they are generally stronger than those of the sect." The Mahayana Puppet spoke at a leisurely pace.

A wave of fluctuations emanated from the Mahayana Puppet, sweeping across the entire Puppet Giant City.

In a moment, all the puppets that were busy working seemed to have their minds wiped clean, and they gathered in front of the Puppet Giant City.

According to their types, 10,000 puppets formed a square formation, totaling 63 square formations, which was slightly more than Xiong Li and Qian Wan Bing's estimate.

"Pu Tao, you took control of them all in one shot!" Qian Wan Bing said in shock.

"I control tens of millions of puppets in the sect. Isn't it supposed to be easy for me to forcibly control these puppets?" PuTao retorted.

As Pu Tao's avatar within the Mahayana Puppet extracted all the information from these puppets, it began to modify their core programming.

"These puppets require one day to assimilate. You can follow the sect's puppet to look for anything you need in this Giant City." The Mahayana Puppet said.

"Oh, don't mention it~"

Qian Wan Bing politely responded and then dashed into the Giant City with Xiong Li.

After a day, the Puppet Giant City returned to its original state, except that their treasure house was now empty.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan's expression grew more and more excited as he listened to Pu Tao's report.

"This National Division has a deep game. I don't know how many such Puppet Giant Cities are hidden around the sect."

"Sowing seeds, letting them grow wildly, and then begin to weaken the Hidden Spirit Sect together when they have grown to a certain extent."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be cultivators in Linsen Immortal City who have been bought out. Pu Tao, watch out for them when you have time," Xu Fan ordered.

"Yes, Master."

A huge cannon appeared in front of Xu Fan.

"This is a proper rune giant cannon in the Cultivation World. Just fill it with spirit stones and talismans, and it can unleash powerful techniques," Xu Fan said as he stroked the giant cannon.

"However, these giant cannons are clearly much more advanced, and their power is not inferior to the giant cannons I've researched."

"No wonder the National division, who sees me as his opponent, has been reincarnated in this world," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Master, I've studied the runes and formations on this cannon, and it seems to be a simplified version. If we complete the formations on it, it could severely wound a fusion-period demon beast," Pu Tao said.

"Of course, I noticed that the National division simplified the original Immortal Text Formation. It's possible that this cannon belonged to the Immortal World before," Xu Fan pondered.

"Show me what you've collected from the Puppet Giant City. I might get some inspiration and come up with an even more powerful giant cannon," Xu Fan said.

"Yes, Master."

...

Two months later, the Heavenly Refinement Sect's large Xing Zhou arrived at the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.

Not only did they bring the spiritual mines Xu Fan needed, but they also prepared generous gifts to congratulate him on his promotion to Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

After discussing the path of Artifact Refining with the three elders of the Heavenly Refinement Sect for a few days, they quickly left.

They could also see that Xu Fan was busy with other things.

Underground, Xu Fan and his two avatars were working enthusiastically.

"Master, recently more and more members of the Demon Clan have infiltrated Linsen Immortal City. Should we eliminate them all at once?" Pu Tao asked.

Xu Fan, who was refining an Immortal Artifact Spirit Sword, pondered for a moment.

"Let it be for now, let them gather more. After all, the information circulating in Linsen Immortal City is of little importance."

"When there are enough of them, the Outer Sect will start recruiting on a large scale, and those disguised as cultivators by the Demon Clan will definitely come over. At that time, we can catch them all in one swoop," Xu Fan said.

"As you command, Master," Pu Tao replied.

"Master, this plan is great. We can train them and then use them against the Demon Clan. Isn't that wonderful?" Number Two avatar suggested.

"Let Star Ci lead those cultivators who are disguised by the Demon Clan," Xu Fan said.

"That's a good idea," both avatars laughed and said.

At this moment, Number One was refining a Mahayana puppet, while Xu Fan and Number Two were refining Immortal Swords.

...

A year later, a sensational piece of news came from Linsen Immortal City.

The Hidden Spirit Sect began recruiting cultivators with Nascent Soul Stage or higher, and the entire Linsen Immortal City was instantly buzzing.

The cultivators living in Linsen Immortal City knew that the Hidden Spirit Sect had protected the city and its mortals.

Not only that, but they also sold top-quality Treasure Artifacts at incredibly low prices, greatly improving the combat power of the cultivators in Linsen Immortal City.

In the years under the protection of the Hidden Spirit Sect, they had fully realized its strength.

They didn't often see Inner Sect disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

However, they frequently encountered Outer Disciples who were carrying out missions, many of whom were local cultivators.

So, they knew the treatment of Outer Disciples very well, and they couldn't help but drool over it.

Whether it was magical treasures, cultivation techniques, spirit stones, or the spiritual pills needed for promotion, any one of these things could make them feel the benefits of becoming an Outer Disciple.

So, when the Hidden Spirit Sect began to expand its Outer Sect, the hearts of the Loose Cultivators were instantly moved.

Not only did the Outer Sect of Hidden Spirit Sect have tempting treatment, but it was also a symbol of status.

The Loose Cultivators of Linsen Immortal City were excited, as were the members of the Demon Clan disguised as human cultivators.
