My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

In Xu Fan's courtyard, Li Xingci was having a friendly conversation with his master.

"Elder Ran Tian's injuries should have recovered by now." Xu Fan said leisurely.

"They have."

Li Xingci scratched his head, realizing that his recent experiences had taught him one thing: that pain and pleasure can coexist.

Sometimes too much pleasure may not necessarily be a good thing.

For example, his initial joy from the two jars of Heavenly Sun Wine was later overshadowed by his wife adding another jar, claiming that it would help speed up his recovery and was beneficial for his health.

A jade box appeared in Xu Fan's hand.

"After you return, take one pill a month, and after three consecutive months, you should be fine." Xu Fan said.

Li Xingci opened the jade box and found three glass-ball-sized blue spiritual pills inside.

"Master, do I really need this?" Li Xingci said awkwardly. No matter which world he was in, men could not admit that they were falling short.

"Your soul is your soul, and your body is your body."

"If you are lacking, you need to supplement, or you may easily develop health problems later on." Xu Fan said meaningfully.

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Li Xingci silently pocketed the jade box.

"The reason I called you here is not only because of your physical condition but also your cultivation techniques and divine abilities." Xu Fan said.

Three jade discs lay on the table.

"These are the follow-up divine abilities of the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Skill. While you are unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, you should take this time to cultivate these abilities peacefully." Xu Fan said.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Xingci knew that during his happy times, his master had been calculating divine abilities for him.

Although their relationship was a bit peculiar, Li Xingci was still touched.

"As for the Golden Immortals who want to make you their disciple in the Reincarnation World, just ignore them."

"Your master's realm is still low, and even if I help you hide, they will still find other ways to get in. So just bear with them."

"Let me know if they go too far, and I'll help you get revenge." Xu Fan said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He had no choice. The realm of those who wanted to accept his precious disciple was at least at the Golden Immortal level. Although his own realm was high, it was still not quite as good as those genuine Golden Immortals.

"I understand, Master." Li Xingci put away the jade butterfly and said.

"When you have time later, go to the treasure house and see Pu Tao for a spiritual medicine list. You need to go to the Cultivation World to find them personally." Xu Fan said.

"What's wrong, Master?" Li Xingci asked confusedly. In theory, this kind of miscellaneous task shouldn't have been assigned to him.

"These are all medicines for nurturing the fetus and nourishing the spirit, some of which are rare and hard to find. The sect might not have them in reserve." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Is Tian'er pregnant?" Li Xingci asked in surprise.

"I deduced it based on your face. It should be very likely, unless you cheated on her."

"Master, I better take my leave now."

Li Xingci excitedly took his leave, and Xu Fan could easily guess that the silly kid was off to find spiritual medicine.

"Old Four already has his second child." Xu Fan said, and then he started counting with his fingers.

In the end, he sighed heavily, not knowing what he had calculated.

"All of you are so unreliable." Xu Fan said, pursing his lips.

In the Elders Association Headquarters, a teahouse.

Ye Xiaoyao sipped his tea, watching the bustling crowd below.

Recently, the Elders Association had been conducting a massive sweep of the Demon Clan, and most of the Mahayana Esteemed Ones at the headquarters had gone to undertake tasks to exterminate the demons.

"Kid, don't bother guessing. If you feel that the Artifact Refining Grandmaster is your Junior Brother Xu, just go and see for yourself," Old Jian said in Ye Xiaoyao's heart.

"It's impossible. There are so many people with the same name and surname in the Cultivation World, even if they are artifact refiners," Ye Xiaoyao replied.

He added, "Plus, in such a short time, even if my Brother Xu was incredibly talented, it's impossible for him to become an Artifact Refining Grandmaster."

"It's even more impossible for him to be the kind of powerful figure who suppresses the incarnation of Golden Winged Roc, captures the Purple Jade Jiaolong, and turns the Gold-devouring Tiger into a dish," Ye Xiaoyao denied, but a voice in his heart told him that this person was none other than his long-awaited Junior Brother Xu.

"Logically speaking, even for someone with exceptional talent, it would be impossible to reach such a realm or to become an Artifact Refining Grandmaster without at least five to six thousand years," Ye Xiaoyao said.

"However, there is another possibility: that your Junior Brother Xu is a reincarnation of a great power, and has already awakened the memories of his past life," Old Jian suggested.

"We'll see. If I have the chance, I'll go take a look. It's not easy to see an Artifact Refining Grandmaster in person," Ye Xiaoyao said helplessly.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao's Communication Talisman began to beep.

"Mandatory mission, assist Zi Yun Holy Land to exterminate the Blood Crocodile Clan," Ye Xiaoyao read his mission aloud, frowning.

"Strange, how did this mandatory mission end up with me?" Ye Xiaoyao hurriedly sent messages to his acquaintances.

"Everyone has been assigned missions. The Elders Association has already started a full-scale slaughter of the Demon Clan, not sparing any top-tier races," read Ye Xiaoyao, his brow furrowed.

"Go on, the more you battle, the more benefits you'll gain. Your Immortal Sword hasn't been assembled yet," Old Jian yelled in Ye Xiaoyao's heart.

Ye Xiaoyao reluctantly stood up and started looking for his teammates to complete the mission.

In the Ten Thousand Demon City of the Demon World, the Earth Crystal Spider led the group towards the coldest region.

"I don't know if we'll ever be able to go back," the Earth Crystal Spider sighed.

"Let's go, take advantage of the fact that the sects and Holy Lands haven't noticed Ten Thousand Demon City and hurry away," a puppet beside him said.

The Earth Crystal Spider nodded, leading the demons into the Bone Boat and flying towards their destination.

With the suppression of the three strongest Demon Venerables in the Demon World by Xu Fan, the situation began to reverse in both the Human and Demon Realms.

The top-tier Demon Clans were targeted by the Elders Association one by one.

Led personally by Ming Kong, they were exterminated one by one.

As the winds shifted in the Demon World, powerful clans with a history of slaughtering the Human Clan began searching for hidden sanctuaries for their entire clan.

Meanwhile, smaller clans with no particular grudge against the Human Clan began surrendering and seeking refuge with nearby sects and Holy Lands.

As Xu Fan was fishing on a Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, he suddenly received a message from the Pangolin, who had been sent undercover in the Demon World.

"What has that Pangolin been doing since the handover, and why haven't I heard any news for so long?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"After the Pangolin arrived in the Demon World, he initially attracted a number of small demon clans based on the ideas spread by the master," Pu Tao explained.

"However, before he could develop any real influence, he was caught by a top-tier demon clan and made a Demon Slave. He only escaped recently during the chaos," Pu Tao said.

Xu Fan couldn't help but want to laugh at the Pangolin's miserable experience. At first, he had expected the Pangolin to bring some little surprises.

"How is that Pangolin now?" Xu Fan asked.

"His cultivation level has fallen to the Void Refining Stage, and his flesh body and True Spirit are on the verge of collapse," Pu Tao replied.

"If he doesn't receive treatment, he will only have at most three years to live," Pu Tao said.
