My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

In the sky above the Hidden Spirit Sect, Wang Yulun is leisurely fishing atop a Bear No.2 Cloud.

Xu Fan appears behind Wang Yulun.

"This place is quite nice, but it's a pity that I can't accompany you in fishing." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Then I suppose I'll just have to fish at the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake in the future." Wang Yulun responded, also with a smile.

"Where did your goddaughter go?" Xu Fan asked.

"She probably went to the Vast Void Domain to play with the Single-horned Snake." Wang Yulun said with a smile, a sense of joy at meeting again after a long time apparent upon seeing Xu Fan.

"That would make sense, wouldn't it? Having a little girl accompany you fishing every day would likely result in her dying of boredom." Xu Fan took a seat not too far from Wang Yulun, looking over at the Hidden Spirit Island and Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.

"Your eldest and second child have both been promoted to Mahayana. You should work harder as their father."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Yulun appeared slightly helpless.

"The cultivation techniques that Brother Xu has given me are outstanding, but unfortunately, I always fail to live up to expectations. Even now I have yet to break through the bottleneck of Mahayana stage."

A jade disc appeared in Xu Fan's hands.

"This is the cultivation technique I have specifically devised for you in my spare moment, called the Ten Thousand Realms Traveler."

"This technique integrates aspects of space, the void, and the stars. If you start cultivating this technique, you'll likely be able to advance into the Mahayana stage before long." Xu Fan said with a smile.

As his closest brother, he would certainly be the first to receive the cultivation technique.

After receiving and storing the jade disc, Wang Yulun produced a stone sword.

"Brother Xu, this one and the batch of stone knives from before are made of the same material."

A stone sword marked with unknown symbols appeared before Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked over the stone sword. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Prime spirit material, exceptionally hard, can't be refined, divine sense can't penetrate into it."

Xu Fan held the stone sword and gave it a light slash towards the sky.

"This is for sure not a simple object; we should put it aside for now, it will definitely be useful in the future."

A puppet appeared behind Xu Fan. Xu Fan handed the stone sword to the puppet.

"Store it in the deepest part of the treasure house." Ordered Xu Fan.

"As you command." The puppet took the stone sword and flew towards Hidden Spirit Sect.

"This is the immortal tool I bought for you from the Ancient Green World. With your current realm, plus this set of immortal tools, you should be able to activate them." Xu Fan pulled out five immortal tools.

A sword, a bow, a knife, a hammer, a flying fish shield.

"Brother Xu, I won't use these immortal tools."

"I usually stay inside the sect and don't go out much, better to save them for someone who can use them." Wang Yulun spoke while moved.

The only person in the cultivation world who could gift such piles of immortal tools was his own good big brother.

"I'm not giving these tools for your use, but for your set of immortal tools, lest your son overpower you after he advances to the Mahayana stage."

"Also, your son-in-law has already reached the combat power level of Mahayana with his ability to control puppets. If you don't have some stuff to gain respect, be careful..." Xu Fan said with a smile. Through all these years, he had always kept his good brother within his grasp.

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Yulun fell into contemplation.

Subsequently, he stowed away those five immortal tools.

"Brother Xu, you've really treated me too well~" Wang Yulun said, moved.

"We're brothers; don't speak such formalities."

Xu Fan gave Wang Yulun a pat on the shoulder and began to fish together with his good brother.

Until noon, when Xu Fan was about to have Pu Tao deliver some food.

In the distance, a beam of light was seen flying towards Bear No.2 Cloud.

Li Chufan appeared on the Bear No.2 Cloud.

"Paying my respects to grandmaster." As soon as Li Chufan saw Xu Fan, he quickly bowed in a formal salute.

"Get up, you're quite filial, bringing food to your grandfather." Xu Fan said, pleased.

"Once, Chu Fan happened to fly over my head and ever since then, at every meal time, Chu Fan would deliver wine and food to me."

"It's quite enjoyable to occasionally have a drink above these clouds." Wang Yulun took the food box and laid out the food from the box onto a small table he'd brought out.

He then pulled out two small jars of wine, sharing one with Xu Fan.

"Grand Master, Grandpa, I will excuse myself while you two enjoy your drink." Li Chufan spoke.

"Go ahead, your grandpa and I are going to have a good drink." Xu Fan waved goodbye with a smile.

Li Chufan jumped off the cloud layer and left.

"When he was little, he always liked to stick with me. Now that he's grown up, he's not so affectionate anymore." Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

"He's as affectionate as ever, it's just that now he's grown up and understands the rules. Besides, even when you tone down your imposing aura, they still wouldn't dare to act recklessly." Wang Yulun said, laughing.

"Alright then."

They poured wine for themselves and raised their glasses for a toast before emptying them in one gulp.

"I still miss the old days when I would bring a Spirit Sheep to Eldest Brother Xu's mountain peak." Wang Yulun reminisced.

"Haha, every time you came by, I knew it was time for some good food."

"Back then, I didn't know how to do alchemy or artifact refining, and just relied on the Small Spirit Rain Technique to grow over a dozen acres of Spirit rice." Xu Fan recalled his early days of cultivation.

"I wasn't wealthy then either. I treasured the Spirit Sheep and little Spiritual Beasts I bought."

Wang Yulun couldn't help but laugh as he remembered the little tricks he used to learn Xu Fan's technique.

"How about it? All those Spirit Stones you spent weren't wasted, right?"

"Although you still haven't learned the Wind-Burning Wooden Arrow technique even now, your two treasures inherited a lineage of powerful divine abilities from me." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"It's my fault for not being more talented, but my two sons are pretty good."

The two of them once again shared a drink.

At this moment, Xu Fan remembered many experiences his good brother had after finding his Dao companion.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yu Lun,"

"?"

"If you had known about your constitution back then, would you still have chosen your Dao companion so early?"

Xu Fan was somewhat envious when he thought about his good brother's powerful constitution.

Wang Yulun stopped pouring the wine and fell into deep thought.

His expressions cycled from joy to sorrow.

Finally, it all turned into a sigh.

"Eldest Brother Xu, you're joking with me again." In the end, Wang Yulun smiled lightly without giving a direct answer to this question.

The two wine glasses clinked together as they looked at each other.

Men, after all, find their truths in wine.

In the end, the two of them started chatting about all sorts of things.

Xu Fan spoke about his recent experiences, while Wang Yulun talked about the peculiar things he had caught while fishing.

The two drank together until sunset.

"After hearing Elder Brother Xu's stories, I also want to go see the Star Region." Wang Yulun said, his eyes filled with longing.

"There's no difficulty in that. You can just follow along next time."

"If we even take Star along, we're sure to roam across this Star Region." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"That can be arranged. I'll bring Qian'er and Ling Er to take a tour of the Star Region, considering it as a sort of traveling." Wang Yulun became interested.

"Since you want to go there, I'll arrange for Song Ming to prepare as soon as possible on my side." Xu Fan directly assigned a task to Pu Tao so that he could relay it to Song Ming, instructing him to prepare for leading the team to the Ancient Green World.

"There's no need to go to all this trouble. Just let it unfold naturally." Wang Yulun quickly spoke. He admitted that he hasn't contributed much to the sect, so he didn't want to cause a fuss.

"Whether we leave sooner or later, it's all the same. You should go back and prepare. We'll set off in half a year."
