My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

24 Chapter 24: Modifying the Lingfeng Boat
Translator: 549690339
After eating breakfast, Xu Fan parted ways with Ye Xiaoyao.

“I wonder if Grandpa will only appear after this guy’s cultivation level drops to the third layer of Qi Refining.” Xu Fan rubbed his chin as he spoke.

At this moment, Xu Fan saw a Lingfeng Tree in the woods that was twice as large as the surrounding spirit trees.

Xu Fan’s eyes lit up; he had finally found it. When he first arrived, he wanted to find a Lingfeng Tree suitable for refining a Spirit Wind Boat, but the trees in the Lingfeng Tree forest did not meet Xu Fan’s requirements.

Having finally found one, Xu Fan summoned the Tongyou Sword and cut the thick Lingfeng Tree at the waist.

At this time, an angry bear roar came from the distance.

The ground began to shake, but Xu Fan remained calm, looking in the direction of the sound. The Tongyou Sword and thirty-six Needle Without Edge hid in mid-air.

A giant bear demon beast, five meters long, charged like a heavy truck.

“An 8th Level Qi Refining Demonic Beast. I’ll use you to break in my new artifacts,” Xu Fan said confidently.

The Tongyou Flying Sword instantly turned into an afterimage, followed by the Needle Without Edge, and charged together towards the giant bear.

The huge bear looked at the black flying sword, which was no larger than a toothpick, with a hint of disdain in its eyes.

‘Roar!’

With a loud roar, a thick layer of stone armor appeared on the bear’s body, converting it from a truck into an armored tank.

“Oh, so you’ve even used your innate ability. Looks like I’ll have to put in some effort,” Xu Fan said as he controlled the Flying Sword and Needles, changing direction in mid-air, aiming for the bear’s eyes.

‘Bang!’

The Tongyou Flying Sword was slapped away by the huge bear, its eyes as big as bronze bells, mockingly staring at Xu Fan.

‘Do you really think something as small as a toothpick could hurt me?’

At this moment, Xu Fan was also staring back mockingly.

‘Hiss!’

In an instant, the giant bear’s eyes were blinded, and before it had a chance to roar, it collapsed to the ground, its blinded eyes ejecting the thirty-six Needle Without Edge, which returned to Xu Fan.

“That was too easy,” Xu Fan said as he began collecting materials from the giant bear.

“Bear gall, bear skin, bear paws, bear heart, and bear bones – all of these are valuable items.”

Now, Xu Fan could only regret that his Storage Bag was not large enough. In the Heavenly Gate, a basic Storage Bag with an area of ten square feet would cost 300 Spirit Stones. Xu Fan’s bag, with a three-fold size, had cost him 1500 Spirit Stones.

After dealing with the giant bear, Xu Fan carried the huge Lingfeng Wood and flew towards the distance, planning to refine a Spirit Wind Boat.

The Jade Record obtained from the Refining Equipment Peak contained more than a hundred artifacts that could be refined during the Qi Refining Stage, including the Lingfeng Boat, which was one of the few vehicle artifacts available.

After finding a flat area, Xu Fan set up a light-hidden shield to conceal the region.

“Fortunately, I brought a few Fire Spirit Stones with me when I first arrived. I can only refine a simplified version of the Lingfeng Boat, and I’ll have to slowly add to it once I’m out.”

A completed Lingfeng Boat would be more than 10 meters long, far too large to fit in Xu Fan’s Storage Bag. To take it with him, he would have to refine it into an artifact first.

The main trunk of the Lingfeng Tree he had brought measured four meters in diameter and over 20 meters in length. If not for Xu Fan’s spiritual power being far higher than his peers, it would not have been easy to carry this massive tree.

Xu Fan looked at the Lingfeng Tree trunk, more and more satisfied.

“Making it into a Lingfeng Boat might be a bit of a waste.”

At this moment, Xu Fan had a brilliant idea. He planned to refine two artifacts: one ordinary Lingfeng Boat with a tail wing, and another shaped like an airplane wing, which could be attached to the Lingfeng Boat as an accessory later on.

In this way, a modified Lingfeng jet-powered aircraft design was born.

Xu Fan then summoned his flying sword and began processing the Lingfeng Tree trunk.

Three hours later, Xu Fan took out three Fire Spirit Stones and arranged them in a fire-gathering formation, summoning spiritual fire to refine the processed Lingfeng Boat.

Two days later, Xu Fan looked at the auxiliary artifact beside his Lingfeng Boat, nodding in satisfaction.

“If heaven hadn’t created me, Xu Fan, the path of artifacts would have been stuck in the dark ages forever.” Xu Fan narcissistically said to himself.

At that moment, a specific high-frequency vibration reached him.

Xu Fan’s expression tightened; this was the distress signal he gave Wang Yulun.

“Didn’t expect it to come in handy so soon,” Xu Fan murmured.

Without even having the chance to paint the Lingfeng Boat, it was forced into action, equipped with wings, and transformed into a beam of light that flew toward the source of the signal.

Meanwhile, Wang Yulun and Murong Qian’er were running for their lives, a gigantic swarm of bees chasing them furiously as if they were offended.

“Husband, are you sure Brother Xu can save us?”

Murong Qian’er glanced back at the overwhelming swarm of bees, her tone laced with worry.

“If worst comes to worst, I’ll use the secret technique to burn my essence blood and take you away,” Murong Qian’er gritted her teeth.

At that moment, it seemed like the bee swarm was about to catch up to the duo.

Wang Yulun embraced Murong Qian’er with one arm and formed a hand gesture with the other. The distance between them and the bee swarm was suddenly extended.

This was one of the escape techniques Xu Fan had taught Wang Yulun, although it had a high spiritual power consumption.

Wang Yulun quickly swallowed a high-quality Quick Spirit Pill, and his pale face gradually regained some color.

“Husband, we can’t only rely on the Quick Spirit Pills. Let me use the Blood Burning Secret Method instead,” Murong Qian’er pleaded anxiously. Wang Yulun had already used the secret technique three times in a row earlier.

“Wait for a quarter of an hour more, then we use the Blood Burning Secret Method if needed.”

“I hope Brother Xu arrives in time.”

“Alright.”

The two continued running for their lives.

At this time, Xu Fan was riding the Lingfeng Boat, which was getting faster and faster in the air.

“Is this what breaking through the sound barrier feels like?”

In the instant he had accelerated to full power, a powerful sonic boom erupted.

After briefly enjoying the thrill of speed, Xu Fan began accelerating as fast as possible toward the source of the distress signal.

An immense feeling of being pushed back came over him, causing a slight pressure on Xu Fan’s body.

Soon after, Xu Fan, who was rapidly flying through the air, spotted the overwhelming swarm of bees in the distance.action

‘Eagle Eye Technique’

Xu Fan clearly saw the escaping duo and the bee swarm behind them, and couldn’t help but gasp.

Only someone who had twenty years of experience dealing with cerebral thrombosis could have managed this; these were the bees of Devouring Spirit Peak.

Even a Golden Core Cultivator would have to take a detour if they encountered such a swarm.

“It’s Brother Xu! We’re saved!”

Seeing Xu Fan approaching, Wang Yulun exclaimed excitedly.

But just then, the gigantic swarm of bees suddenly accelerated and surrounded the duo in an instant.

From surprise to despair, their eyes met, and they embraced each other, prepared to die together.

“I’m sorry, Brother Xu, for dragging you into this,” Wang Yulun thought. They had initially hoped that Xu Fan’s incredible escape speed, on par with the Foundation Establishment Stage, would help them get away.

At that moment, a loud roar sounded.

Xu Fan, on the Lingfeng Boat, showed a fierce expression and poured a bottle of Quick Spirit Pills directly into his mouth. He swiftly formed hand gestures, and an astonishing surge of spiritual power flowed through his body.

“Secret Method: Dimensional Sound Kill!”

This was the most powerful group attack technique Xu Fan could currently unleash.
