My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"Brother, this is a bit too expensive~" Xu Fan said, looking at the Fire Phoenix Jade Carving, which seemed like a work of art formed by the essence of Heaven and Earth.

"What’s so expensive about it? I can’t use it. Can’t I leave it here with you to help me look after it?"

"Besides, it’s not as if this Xuanhuang Fire Phoenix Jade Carving will disappear after one use."

"After it’s used once, it will go into a recovery state, absorb some energy, and after hundreds of thousands of years, it can be used again."

"It’s perfect for it to be here with you."

"Then I will accept your kindness," Xu Fan thought about it and said. There’s no point refusing free benefits. Having more backup will be more comforting when the time comes.

"That’s more like it~" the gray-haired Elder sis, nodding in satisfaction. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Alright, I have some matters to attend to, I will come back to keep you company in a while." The gray-haired Elder said before leaving the Hidden Spirit Sect with his senior disciple.

Xu Fan looked at the Xuanhuang Fire Phoenix Jade Carving in the small courtyard, and then at the Xuanhuang Enlightenment Tea left intentionally on the table, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"This Big Brother, really leaves no stones unturned."

Xu Fan walked to the front of the Xuanhuang Fire Phoenix Jade Carving, and began to slowly feel the charm of the Xuanhuang Jade.

"Master, ten years ago when the Dragon Immortal Palace held the largest auction in the entire Wood Origin Immortal World, this Xuanhuang Fire Phoenix Jade Carving was among the items."

"The final transaction price was thirteen crystals of Mysterious Yellow Qi." Pu Tao reported.

In the Immortal Realm, there is something more advanced than Immortal Crystals used for exchange - the Mysterious Yellow Qi.

It is at the deepest part of the Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens, only a Daluo Saint can condense it in an area with thin Mysterious Yellow Qi.

Its value, one Crystal Xuanhuang Qi represents one Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

Upon hearing this price, Xu Fan speechlessly looked at the sky.

"How great it would be if these mysterious yellow qi could be converted into a Time Heavy Treasure for me!" Xu Fan exclaimed.

What he didn’t know was that his Good Big Brother originally wanted to gift a Time Heavy Treasure, but strangely found that the Time Heavy Treasures in the entire Wood Origin Immortal World seemed to have disappeared.

The situation was the same even in the major influences of the Human Clan, there was not much stock of Time Heavy Treasures.

It was said that there was a gold-clad crazy buyer on the market, who was madly purchasing Time Heavy Treasures regardless of the price. As long as they had the goods in hand, everything could be negotiated.

Thus, some major forces that originally hoarded Time Heavy Treasures made a fortune.

Now, as Xu Fan was observing the Xuanhuang Fire Phoenix Jade Carving, some bad news came from the front-line of the Human Clan.

The Immortal Realm on the border of the Human Clan had once again fallen. This time, even the small Alien races that were only presided over by Daluo Saints began to jointly attack the human border with those top races.

The major influences defending the Human Clan’s Border Immortal Realm were caught off guard, with each of the Human Clan’s Great Luo Saints facing at least two Alien Daluo Saints.

The situation of the Wood Origin Immortal World Human race was getting increasingly serious.

When Xu Fan heard this news, he first noticed those small Alien races that were only defended by Daluo Saints.

"Pu Tao, do you think those small Alien races have Time Heavy Treasures in their treasure houses?" Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

"Although the majority of Time Heavy Treasures come from above the Nine Heavens, they can also be found in some special Immortal Spirit Secret Realms."

"These Aliens that are only protected by Daluo Saints have territories at least as large as one Immortal Realm of the Human Clan, so the probability of finding Time Heavy Treasures is quite high." said Pu Tao.

A light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, which exhibited the territories of several Alien races around the Human Clan that were presided over by Great Luo Saints.

"Holy Moon Clan, the Fire Demon Clan, the Golden Armor Clan..." Xu Fan observed the minor races around the Human Clan with slightly stronger strengths.

"The Holy Moon Clan is the strongest. They hold deep grudges against the Human Clan, and have been biding their time over the years, and now they finally found an opportunity," Xu Fan said, looking at the data on the Sacred Moon Clan.

The territory inhabited by the Human Clan used to be a good one-third of the Sacred Moon Clan’s territory during the Desolate Ancient Era; it’s just that later this part was coveted by the Human Clan.

"Indeed if that’s the plan, we’re rather short on Golden Immortal Puppets at hand."

"I need at least six Golden Immortal Puppets to seize the treasures of those minor races," Xu Fan noted through the Origin World, where he saw three Golden Immortal Puppets standing by.

These three Golden Immortal Puppets are far from being able to fight on behalf of the sect and Pu Tao’s energy pool can’t reach such a distant location, so the Golden Immortal Puppets can only consume Immortal Crystals to replenish energy.

Just these three Puppets alone have used up 80 million Immortal Crystals in their two operations.

As such, Xu Fan is currently working on calculations, trying to figure out how many Immortal Crystals it would take for six Golden Immortal Puppets to give those minor Alien Daluo Saints a hard fight.

He needed to acknowledge that when controlling Golden Immortal Puppets against Golden Immortals, the fights would generally conclude within ten breaths.

If it comes to a direct confrontation with a Great Luo Saint, then this would be a war of attrition.

"Suddenly, it seems somewhat unworthy. Pu Tao, create three more Golden Immortal Puppets. How many Immortal Crystals would it take for six of them to jointly fight against a Great Luo Saint?" Xu Fan asked.

"There is no data model. It is suggested that the master aims to break through so as to minimize the loss of the Golden Immortal Puppets," suggested Pu Tao.

"I’m afraid it could be quite difficult. Those minor Alien Daluo Saints are all relatively strong, and if we meet them, I expect there will be a fierce struggle," Xu Fan said.

"Master, once we have six puppets, we will have more means to steal from the Alien clan’s treasury."

"We can totally manipulate the situation to render the Alien Daluo Saint helpless," Pu Tao added.

"But that would require crossing a distance of more than four Immortal Realms, which is too troublesome," Xu Fan lamented.

"Forget it, let’s put that plan on hold; first, build the Puppets and the Acquired Spiritual Treasure Level Spaceship and if we really can’t get the Time Heavy Treasure, then we’ll talk about other options," said Xu Fan after some consideration.

"Following the Master’s orders," replied Pu Tao.

Just then, Xu Fan received a call from Avatars No.1 and No.2.

In the Underground Space, Xu Fan looked at the design plans for an Acquired Spirit Treasure Spaceship in the Jade Disc, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Main body, this is the best scenario that we and Pu Tao deduced. It is the most cost-efficient Acquired Spirit Treasure Spaceship at minimal consumption of Immortal Crystals," said the No.1 Clone.

"180 billion Immortal Crystals, and it’s still a novice-level Acquired Spirit Treasure Spaceship." Xu Fan sighed.

"There’s nothing we can do. Without reaching God Craftsman, creating an Acquired Spirit Treasure is bound to be troublesome."

"The consumption of both time and Acquired Spiritual Treasure Immortal Mines is considerable," the No.2 Clone pointed out.

"Alright then, let’s get started. Let’s first purchase the Acquired Spirit Treasure Level Immortal Mines necessary for the early stage and start refining it. We can take the rest slow," Xu Fan decided.

"I prepared a list for Pu Tao early on. It is planned according to the yearly revenue of Immortal Crystals of our sect."

"By then, controlling the speed of the Acquired Spirit Treasure Spaceship’s refining process can achieve a perfect dovetailing," No.2 Clone said, laughing.

"Well done," remarked Xu Fan.

Xu Fan found that Avatars No.1 and No.2 have been performing exceptionally well lately. They evolved from being mere tools to now active thinking tools.

Hearing Xu Fan’s praise, Avatars No.1 and No.2 glanced at each other, sighing in relief inwardly.
