My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Chapter 610: Chapter 583: Head of the Resource Department
The classical starship smoothly descended onto Hidden Spirit Island.

Then, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect swiftly drove the classical starship, rushing back towards the Thousand Spirit Sect.

The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect was going back to gather the spirit mines for his two immortal tools, along with bringing all the heavy treasures that contained immortal scripts as requested by Xu Fan.

“Finally, we’re back.” Wang Yulun sighed as he looked at the familiar sect.

“Remember, this will always be your home.” Xu Fan reassured him, patting Wang Yulun’s shoulder with a smile.

In his mind, he was thinking that he would finally have someone to go fishing with again.

“Xiuxin, fellow, would you like to join my Hidden Spirit Sect or…” Xu Fan asked.

“You are Ling’er’s master, so we’re practically family. How about you stay in my Hidden Spirit Sect and become an elder?” Xu Fan invited.

“It will be my honor to join the Hidden Spirit Sect.” Xiuxin said with a smile.

From what Wang Yulun had told her, she had a clear understanding of things.

Being an elder in the Hidden Spirit Sect was a big step up for her.”

“Great. Elder Xiuxin, as you’re new to the sect, I’ll have someone show you around later.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Not long after, Qiu Ziyuan arrived upon receiving a message from Pu Tao and joined Xu Fan.

“This is our new elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xiuxin. Show her around and introduce her to the Sect.” Xu Fan ordered.

“Understood, Great Master.” Qiu Ziyuan replied while bowing.

He then started showing Xiuxin and Wang Ling’er around the sect.

“Yulun, we’ll talk later. I need to head back first to stabilize my cultivation realm.” Xu Fan said, then flew towards his mountaintop courtyard.

Wang Yulun, looking at Xu Fan’s retreating figure, laughed and said to Murong Qian’er, “We’ve been away from the sect for quite some time, and yet everything remains the same.”

“You talk as if we’ve been gone for hundreds of years, but in reality it hasn’t been that long.” Murong Qian’er chuckled back.

“Let’s go and see our son. I wonder if his cultivation has improved over the years?” Wang Yulun said with a hint of age catching up to him.

Murong Qian’er rolled her eyes at Wang Yulun. She knew why her husband suddenly had the confidence to suppress their son.

“Mark my words, don’t use the Dao Artifact Set that Brother Xu refined for you.” Murong Qian’er reprimanded Wang Yulun.

“You don’t get it. Magical Treasures are also part of one’s strength!” Wang Yulun retorted self-righteously.

……

Returning to his home, Xu Fan greeted his No.1 and No.2 clones who were already waiting for him.

“Tell me, main body, what kind of good fortune did you have that allowed you to advance to the Void Cultivation Stage so quickly?” The No.1 clone curiously asked.

“Right, after the promotion, we should share our insights on the Refining Path.” The No.2 clone added.

Xu Fan didn’t have time to banter with them, so he created a temporary clone to share the experience, while he retreated into his house to consolidate his cultivation.

The temporary clone of Xu Fan looked at clones No.1 and No.2, and started sharing the story slowly, saying, “So, Xu Fan and the others were aboard the classical starship, preparing to sail off to that…”

“Can’t you use a different version? I can’t stand Teacher Dan’s version~” The No.2 clone interjected.

“So, what version do you want to hear?” The temporary Xu Fan clone replied with a smile.

“Can we have the version by Teacher Guo~” The No.1 clone brought out a bag of sunflower seeds.

“Sure thing.”

The temporary clone of Xu Fan nodded and then started speaking again.

……

In the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, at the largest port near the Endless Sea.

A fleet of sea vessels was quickly exchanging the spirit mines and spiritual treasures they had gathered from the depths of the Endless Sea.

The captain of the Hai Zhou fleet, a Nascent Soul Stage Puppet, was reporting to Shi Zhan the resources that the Hai Zhou fleet had gathered.

“We discovered a small Dao Artifact-level Spirit Mine in the depths of the Endless Sea this time, it took half a year to finish gathering.”

“As such, our return is delayed by two months.” The Nascent Soul Stage Puppet explained.

“Dao Artifact-level Spirit Mine~” Shi Zhan, looking at the list in his hand, nodded.

“You all have worked hard, I will increase your commission by a point for this sea venture,” Shi Zhan said with a smile.

“Really?! Department Head, you’re just too kind!” The Nascent Soul Stage Puppet excitedly said, knowing well that their share from a mining trip merely accounted for 5% of the total.

“It’s what you deserve, the higher the grade of the Spirit Mine is in the Endless Sea, the more Demonic Beasts there are on top.”

“You all did a great job this time, I will ask the Empress for a merit on your behalf,” Shi Zhan said with a smile.

“Thank you, Department Head.”

Afterward, the captain of the Nascent Soul Stage Haizhou Fleet gleefully ran towards the distance.

Announcing the good news to the fleet members waiting for him in the distance, eliciting cheers.

Shi Zhan laughed after seeing this scene.

Since that young National Division appeared, he had been sidelined for a while.

During that period he was disheartened and wanted to leave Feng Changning and return to Hidden Spirit Island to continue guarding his home’s small world.

He didn’t care about who was in the small world at that time, he just wanted to find a familiar place to spend his dull second half of life.

And swore, never to be a sycophant again~

Just as he was about to leave, Feng Changning found him.

“Master, can you stay and help me?”

“I want you to witness the rise of our dynasty once again.”

“When our Nine Phoenix Dynasty becomes the strongest in this world, you will be the most noble existence in this world apart from me.”

Upon hearing Feng Changning’s words, although Shi Zhan was somewhat moved, he was determined to leave.

However, when Feng Changning decided to share half of her royal Merit and Destiny with Shi Zhan, his heart was shaken.

“My cultivation and talent are only so much. Why do you want to entrust such an important thing to me?” Shi Zhan asked.

“You are the only person in this Cultivation World whom I can fully and wholeheartedly trust.”

“It was the same before, and it will be the same in the future.”

Feng Changning’s gaze at Shi Zhan was as though a younger sister looking up at her only big brother who she could rely on.

Shi Zhan, who was standing by the seaside of the Endless Sea, inexplicably recalled this scene and laughed, scolding himself.

“What a cheap bone.”

Shi Zhan gazed into the distance, awaiting the return of the next Hai Zhou fleet.

Now, he was the Minister in charge of the entire Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s resource gathering, controlling more than 80% of the resources of the entire Nine Phoenix Dynasty.

He was literally second to one, but first to millions.

“Department Head, a message from the Nine Phoenix Vessel in the Vast Void Domain.”

A Golden Core Stage young man holding a Jade Slip quickly came behind Shi Zhan and spoke with an extremely respectful tone.

“No need for me to read, just get straight to the point and omit any meaningless data.” Shi Zhan said.

The captain of the Nine Phoenix Vessel was a very meticulous Nascent Soul Stage Puppet, who often gave detailed reports when a simple sentence or two would suffice.

“The Nine Phoenix Vessel discovered a large-scale Dao Artifact-level Spirit Mine Star in the Vast Void Domain, but its storage is full. Do we discard the already gathered Spirit Mine to make room for it?”
