My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

At the Hidden Spirit Sect, a group of first, second, and third-generation leaders was gathered together.

"The Elders Association truly lived up to its reputation—its battle array was exquisite, and their disciples are just as powerful as we are," Xiong Li praised.

"We have another battle in 10 days. If we draw again, we might as well return all the welfare that the Great Elder had distributed before. We have no face to accept them," Qianwan Bing said. He felt that he was mainly to blame for the draw in this battle.

If the cannon had been more accurate and hit their chief disciple, the match wouldn't have ended in a draw.

"Given that it was our first time confronting the core disciples from the Elders Association and we lacked intelligence on them, coupled with the absence of Pu Tao for support, a draw is pretty normal," a very elegant woman said. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom; she had been watching & analyzing the battle.

"Situ Nan, we would have probably lost without your command," Qian Wanbing gratefully said.

"With or without me, the outcome wouldn't differ much. The one who played the most crucial role was the senior brother. Without him shielding us, our Big Three-Three Formation might have been shattered," Situ Nan replied.

"It's a shame that among our third-generation disciples, only a few are from the Body Refining lineage. If we had more, we would've definitely won this battle," Li Leihu said.

"All parts of a whole complement each other. What a pity those small Iron-Eating Beasts haven't yet matured," Xiong Li lamented. He was quite concerned about those beasts.

"At the beginning of the next battle, I'll seize the opportunity to ambush their chief disciple again, but I'll need two disciples of the Shadow Kill School to assist me," Qianwan Bing looked at Situ Nan.

"Two aren't enough. You'll need four elite disciples, including a brother from the Sealing School," Situ Nan replied with a mysterious sparkle in her eyes.

She felt a hint of excitement deep inside. The military formation techniques she had cultivated were finally going to be of use.

"That's even better—their chief disciple's swordsmanship was terrifying. Once he barged into our ranks, he wrought havoc. Xiang Yun's sword array hadn't yet been activated when his True Spirit was destroyed by a single sword," Qianwan Bing said.

Xiang Yun, who was sitting in the back, kept quiet, with his mind fully occupied with that one devastating strike.

How could one sword destroy my True Spirit?

Han Feiyu patted Xiang Yun's shoulder to comfort him.

"I was looking at the sky from the bottom of the well. I underestimated the enemy," Xiang Yu muttered to himself.

"Brother Xiang Yun, the opponent's chief disciple is at the Mahayana phase—you shouldn't blame yourself too much," Sword Wuji said.

Xiang Yun waved a hand, signaling that he was okay.

"We still have two battles left—we must win."

"Now, as the eldest brother, I command all the Inner Sect disciples to enter the Illusory World and practice the battle array according to Situ Nan's requirements," said Xiong Li.

"Yes, sir!"

All the disciples in the room echoed.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was fishing with good brothers.

"Who would have thought that our Sect's disciples were such formidable foes? They held their own against the core disciples of the Elders Association," Wang Yulun said, praising while fishing.

On hearing his brother's words, Xu Fan rolled his eyes.

"Be ambitious for once. The man sitting right next to you isn't just your good elder brother but also the only Supreme Venerable of the Feiyu Boundary. The fact that the disciples are on par with the Elder's Association is disgraceful," he said.

The result of the battle was unexpected—it was surprising that there was a draw in the first match.

He had expected a minor loss at first but was sure that they would eventually win.

"Not all disciples are as extraordinarily talented as Brother Xu. The Elders Association has inherited countless ten-thousand years of experience, so managing a draw is quite impressive," Wang Yulun was saying when his fishing rod suddenly dipped—a big catch was on the hook.

His expression instantly turned serious, and his body radiated with divine abilities.

A pair of divine hands appeared and firmly gripped Wang Yulun's fishing rod, beginning to lift.

"Brother Xu, something big is coming, I wonder what it is this time. I have a feeling it's not going to be simple." Wang Yulun excitedly said.

"Hold on tight, lift it up and see what the big catch is!" Xu Fan said with a smile, whenever his good friend struggles to lift the fishing rod, it means something good is on its way.

Countless Spiritual Qi began converging towards Wang Yulun, where a shadow connected to his divine hands appeared behind him.

The hands gripping the fishing rod began to tremble, and the expression on his face was contorted.

The spiritual power pressure around Wang Yulun was getting bigger and bigger, and the shadow behind him was getting more solid.

"Nod if you need my help." Xu Fan said on the side.

Wang Yulun, who was struggling with the big haul, showed a determined expression.

Sure enough, the fishing rod has been at a deadlock for a long time, with no clear victor.

"It's a good thing I reinforced the fishing rod back then, else a regular one would've been wrecked." Xu Fan spoke while observing the struggle at ease.

He has been observing his good friend all along, ready to intervene at the first sign of trouble.

Wang Yulun kept this up for an hour, eventually harnessing a power that surpassed his own realm using the Blood Burning Secret Method, only then slowly reeling in the big haul from the other world.

"All that effort just to reel in a potted plant?" Wang Yulun weakly looked at the potted plant in front of him, standing as tall as a person.

It was stark naked, not a leaf on it.

At this moment, Xu Fan was stunned as he looked at the potted plant.

He could feel a supreme aura of the Great Dao Laws on this potted tree.

Upon further investigation, he felt it was connected to an unknown void.

"Brother Xu, this tree must be something extraordinary, let's find a place to plant it." Wang Yulun said; he had partly recovered his spiritual power and seemed less disheveled.

"Yu Lun, what do you want right now?" Xu Fan suddenly asked.

"I want a spiritual pill that can restore me to my prime state." Wang Yulun casually said.

Just then, that person-sized tree seemed to have flickered.

Xu Fan gently touched the tree with his hand and placed more than ten pieces of fairy jade into the roots.

Immediately, countless tiny roots sprouted from the tree, enveloping the fairy jade, drawing them into the tree's roots.

Following that, the entire tree burst into a fairy-like glow, and a small cyan flower bloomed from the center of the branch.

Subsequently, it bore fruit, and a cyan spiritual pill was hung on the tree.

Wang Yulun was stunned.

"This is a master level Holy Blood Pill!"

"Just right for you to recover to your peak state." Xu Fan joyfully said, looking at the small tree.

Feeling half doubtful, half hopeful, Wang Yulun plucked the Holy Blood Pill from the tree and popped it into his mouth.

A warm current instantly emerged and swiftly circulated throughout his body.

The exhaustion from before and the after-effects of the Blood Burning Secret Method were completely replenished, and his state was restored to the peak again.

"Brother Xu, can this tree grow whatever we want!" Wang Yulun excitedly asked.

"In theory, yes, but the cost is equally proportional."
