My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

In real life, Guang was planning to try Artifact Refining for the first time when he was summoned by their dean.

"I pay my respects to the Dean." Guang said respectfully.

He knew that their Dean was the Guardian True Immortal stationed in the Golden Device City, a figure of immense importance to them.

The Guardian True Immortal looked at Guang with a mix of regret and envy.

"Would you like to join a sect? A significant figure has taken interest in you," the Guardian True Immortal said warmly.

"A sect? Which sect?"

"Will I need to pay an extra tuition fee in Fairy Jade to join this sect?" Guang asked cautiously.

His tuition fee of two Fairy Jades for ten years was gathered by selling off the only Dao Tools his parents owned.

If the sect requires additional Fairy Jades, he would rather forgo this opportunity and stay in the Academy where he has faith in becoming a Refining Master in ten years.

"Haha, just follow me."

A teleportation array appeared in front of the two. This was a direct teleportation array opened by Xu Fan that could transport them straight to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"You have good talent in Artifact Refining, and that significant figure has taken notice of you. He wants to take you as a disciple."

"A significant figure? Is it a Refining Master?"

To a boy in his teens dreaming to become a Refining Master, a Refining Master is a significant figure in his understanding.

"Even greater than a Refining Master. Do you want to become a disciple? They will teach you for free and won’t require Fairy Jades," The Guardian True Immortal said, chuckling while looking at Guang. He too had dreamed of being taken as a disciple by these top figures when he was young.

"Yes, I would love to. However, may I inform my parents first?" Guang asked.

"You meet this significant figure first. You can contact your parents whenever you wish."

The Guardian True Immortal allowed Guang to enter the teleportation array.

After a flash of light, Guang appeared in Xu Fan’s small courtyard.

Suddenly, Guang felt a change in his surroundings and subsequently sensed the astounding Immortal Spirit Qi in the air.

Not to mention the waterfall of Immortal Spirit Juice, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, falling in the distance.

The range of mountains around was adorned with various buildings, perfectly blending into the landscape.

The mountains, picturesque and lush, often had spiritual beasts appearing between them, while divine bird-beasts formed from the condensed Immortal Spirit Juice constantly flew in the sky.

However, what shocked Guang the most was the Immortal Spirit Juice waterfall feeding a giant lake like a sea.

On seeing all this, Guang was momentarily lost.

This surpassed the descriptions his parents painted of the scenery in the Immortal Sects and Holy Lands, both in beauty and grandeur.

Xu Fan didn’t speak, just laughed at the sight of the youngling before him.

Only after Guang had taken in enough of the surroundings and regained his composure did he notice Xu Fan not far away.

"I pay my respects to the senior!" Guang said hurriedly.

"Stand up."

"This is the Hidden Spirit Sect, which I created single-handedly. How do you feel about it?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"Good, I have never seen a place this good."

"Senior, you brought me here to get me to join the Hidden Spirit Sect." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I am willing to join!"

Guang said nervously, forgetting all the polite words he had prepared on the way.

"It’s fine. Can you tell me what you’ve learnt in the Artifact Refining Division of your Academy?" Xu Fan asked patiently.

Xu Fan was completely at ease with disciples who not only passed the Sect Examination but also achieved full marks.

"I have learned in the Artifact Refining Division..."

Guang Xu went on to say everything he learned like spilled beans.

With a slight lift of Xu Fan’s hand, a basic piece of Spirit Iron and a cluster of Five Elements Spiritual Fire appeared before Guang Xu.

"I’ll give you a chance. Use these materials to refine a spiritual sword that satisfies me, and I’ll take you as my disciple."

"Senior, can I go back to the academy to learn more about artifact refining?"

"I haven’t finished my course yet; I’m afraid I won’t do well in refining." Guang Xu said.

"No need, just use the Spiritual Fire and Spirit Iron in front of you to refine a spiritual sword to the best of your ability. I’ll judge the quality."

The cluster of Five Elements Spiritual Fire naturally penetrated into Guang Xu’s body and merged with his Spiritual Power Dantian.

With Xu Fan’s help, this cluster of Five Elements Spiritual Fire was passively refined by Guang Xu in an instant.

"Familiarize yourself with the Spiritual Fire, then you can start refining." Xu Fan hinted.

Guang Xu looked at the Spirit Iron floating in the air, nodding his head, his expression gradually becoming serious from initial nervousness.

A cluster of Spiritual Fire appeared in front of Guang Xu. He began by sensing the temperature and power of the Spiritual Fire.

"No need to use spiritual power to condense pure Spiritual Fire; this way, I have more energy to control the hammer." Guang Xu thought to himself.

Next, Guang Xu began to forge the Spirit Iron with the Five Elements Spiritual Fire, adjusting the size of the Spiritual Fire from time to time and observing the change in the Spirit Iron.

Xu Fan nodded approvingly at the side. Just by this alone, he was much better than those novice refiners.

As the Spirit Iron slowly softened, the young man condensed a Spiritual Power hammer and began to temper the Spirit Iron based on his feeling.

This is the basic skill that every Artifact Refiner must learn. Even though this method of tempering is not used in the late stage, it is inevitable before refining artifacts and treasure artifacts.

The Spiritual Power that formed the hammer hit the Spirit Iron perfectly with each strike.

With the forging, the Spirit Iron’s interior began to undergo subtle changes, becoming more solid, more resilient, and more conducive to the transmission of Spiritual Power.

An hour later, Guang Xu had started to sweat from his forehead.

The piece of Spirit Iron had already begun to take on the outline of a spiritual sword under the continuous strikes of the Spiritual Power Hammer.

Then Guang Xu rapidly increased the firepower of the Fire Element Spirit, and after the embryo of the spiritual sword was fully softened, he utilized the Shaping Technique while increasing the intensity of the strike of the Spiritual Power Hammer.

Typically, Artifact Refiners at this step would start to use the Shaping Technique to form the shape of the spiritual sword and prepare to engrave the runes.

But there was a new change in Guang Xu’s case.

With the forging of the Spiritual Power Hammer, the embryo of this spiritual sword gradually came closer to perfection.

Then, just one strike short of turning the embryo of the spiritual sword into the most perfect state, Guang Xu suddenly halted, starting the last step, engraving the runes.

Spirit Control, Sharp, Solid.

Three exceptionally standard runes were engraved on the spiritual sword.

A most basic Magical Device Spirit Sword was formed.

After all of this was done, Guang Xu was exhausted, his spiritual power weak, and his mental power nearly depleted.

Wood Origin Essence appeared in Xu Fan’s hand and shot straight into Guang Xu’s body.

"Thank you, senior. I’ve refined the spiritual sword. Please check," Guang Xu said respectfully.

The process of refining the spiritual sword seemed to bring about a subtle change in him, giving him a new insight into the path of refining. He believes that even if this senior doesn’t accept him as a disciple, when he returns to the Academy, he is confident that he can become a Refining Master within 10 years.

Xu Fan didn’t look at the spiritual sword first, instead, he looked at Guang Xu and asked, "Just now, you were one strike short of putting the embryo of the spiritual sword into its most perfect state, why didn’t you strike that hammer?"

Hearing these words, Guang Xu was taken aback.
