My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death - Chapter 583

Chapter 583: Chapter 556: Dismissing Each Other (Extra Update for the Overlord Combating Nuclear Fusion Guide Control)
Xu Fan crafted Dao tools for Pang Fu, two of which were rings, the type that were particularly eye-catching when worn on the hand.

Moreover, the Dao tool aura emitted from them was exceptionally thick, and there might even be fluctuations of Immortal Script emanating from them.

“Great Master, since you’ve said so, I’ll accept them.” Pang Fu first put the two rings on his fingers.

“That’s more like it. Now you’re the face of our Hidden Spirit Sect, and we need to give you the best stuff first.” Xu Fan patted Pang Fu’s shoulder and laughed.

The two chatted for a while until all the spiritual mines in the Snake Spirit Number’s spatial warehouse were unloaded. Pang Fu had to leave again to embark on his journey in the Vast Void Domain.

As he was leaving, Pang Fu smacked his forehead, flew to the Snake Spirit Number, and soon brought a young man before Xu Fan.

“Great Master, this is the genius I met in Water Cloud Fairy City with an incredible talent for refining. Please accept him as your disciple.” Pang Fu bowed solemnly and said.

The young man also kneeled down and was about to kowtow to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan raised his hand and stopped the youth from kowtowing to him.

“Since you spoke up, I’ll give him a chance to become my temporary disciple.” Xu Fan looked at the young man and nodded.

“What’s your name?” Xu Fan asked the young man.

“Zhang Daqi.” The young man looked up with his pure eyes meeting Xu Fan’s.

“Nice name; your eyes reveal your potential too.” Xu Fan said with appreciation.

Xu Fan chuckled, “Your eldest brother has two rings on his hand; try to appraise them and see if you can simulate the refining process.”

“One wind attribute ring, considered a medium-grade Dao tool.”

“The other is a special attribute ring that can absorb the starlight power in the Vast Void Domain, extract its essence, and deliver it to the user’s body, enabling them to maintain their vitality forever and nourish their souls.”

“The wind attribute ring is made up of the most basic wind character immortal text, and together with its Rune Array, it can form a special protective shield.”

“If my guess is correct, in case the Star Boat encounters danger, the Eldest Brother can rely on this ring to safely descend to the Continent.”

“Furthermore, there are many other special functions regarding its Array that I don’t understand yet.” Zhang Daqi’s eyes gleamed as he carefully observed the two rings on Pang Fu’s hand.

“The wind attribute Dao tool ring’s materials are…”

As Zhang Daqi spoke, Xu Fan began to closely observe the young man before him.

“Alright, don’t say any more; your test is passed.”

“But I have another question.”

“I won’t take anyone of unknown origin as an apprentice, even if they are merely a registered disciple.” Xu Fan said indifferently.

“I am a disciple of the Cloud Zhang Family, which is affiliated with the Heavenly Refinement Sect. I was trapped in the Water Cloud Fairy City during my travels,” Zhang Daqi answered.

“Since your eldest brother has a Star Boat now, why didn’t you go back home?” Xu Fan asked him again.

“I was expelled from my family, and there’s no point in going back,” Zhang Daqi lowered his head as if recalling some unbearable past events.

“Do you really want to take me as your master?” Xu Fan asked.

“Ever since I saw the Snake Spirit Number modified by the Great Master, I have been eager to become your disciple,” Zhang Daqi said excitedly.

“After coming to the Hidden Spirit Sect, I became even more determined.”

“Alright, from today on, you will be my temporary registered disciple,” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.

“Great Master, why don’t we remove the ‘temporary’ part?” Pang Fu carefully suggested.

“When he passes the Sect Assessment, the temporary part will be removed,” Xu Fan said.

“Great Master, how do I pass the Sect Assessment?” Zhang Daqi asked eagerly.

“In fact, I broke the rules for your eldest brother’s sake. Usually, only kids under 12 years old are allowed to take the Sect Assessment.”

“Thank you, Great Master,” Zhang Daqi said.

“Alright, the test begins now.” As Xu Fan spoke, he touched Zhang Daqi’s forehead with his finger.

“Great Master, what if Daqi doesn’t pass?” Pang Fu asked worriedly.

“Then I’ll just teach him until he becomes a Refining Master, and then I won’t be responsible for him. After all, Zhang Daqi has been through thick and thin with you. I need to give you an explanation,” Xu Fan laughed and said.

“That’s good!”

“Of course, I should leave now since there’s nothing else for me.” Pang Fu looked at Zhang Daqi, who was immersed in the Sect Assessment, and left with relief.

“Go ahead, don’t push yourself too hard, rest when you need to, and cultivate when you need to,” Xu Fan waved his hands and said.

“Thank you for your concern, Great Master. I’m leaving ~”

The Snake Spirit Number rose into the sky and flew towards the Vast Void Domain.

“I’ve been really blessed by God recently, getting whatever I think of,” Xu Fan laughed and said.

An hour later, Zhang Daqi woke up in a daze and looked around him somewhat confused.

After rubbing his head, he looked at Xu Fan and asked, “Great Master, did I pass the test?”

Xu Fan put down the teacup, looked at Zhang Daqi, and laughed, “From now on, you are my registered disciple. When you refine your first Dao tool, I will accept you as my seventh personal disciple.”

“Thank you, Master. I will study the Refining Path diligently in the future and strive to become a Refining Master as soon as possible.” Zhang Daqi knelt down and saluted.

“Your goal is too narrow; being a Refining Master is just the starting point.” Xu Fan looked at Zhang Daqi and laughed.

“In the next period, follow Pu Tao to learn some refining theories first, then go to the Sect Treasure Vault and learn all the runes that are available in the Sect and those you haven’t learned yet.”

“After that, come to me for tasks.”

Xu Fan arranged for his new temporary disciple.

“Understood, Master,” Zhang Daqi said excitedly, nodding.

“Now that we’ve discussed the serious matters, let’s talk about something personal.”

“Why did your family expel such a talented refiner like you?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“If it’s not convenient to say, just forget about it.”

“It’s not much of a secret; my family wanted me to establish a marriage alliance with a refining family to form a strong partnership.”

“I was unwilling and escaped from the marriage that day, so my family had to save face and announced that I was expelled.”

“The clan leader has forbidden me from returning to the family for 500 years; we will discuss the matter after the storm blows over,” Zhang Daqi said.

The keywords of family alliance, unwillingness, and escaping from marriage reminded Xu Fan of something.

He didn’t expect that the temporary disciple he had casually accepted would turn out to be such a talent.

Xu Fan continued to look at Zhang Daqi with a gossiping glance.

“The reason I escaped from the marriage was that the woman I was supposed to marry had not only a higher refining talent than me, but she was also very violent.”

“I was afraid that if I married her, I would be completely suppressed, which would not be conducive to my comprehension of the Refining Path.”

“So, I gritted my teeth and escaped on the spot.”

“Later, I heard that the woman also escaped the marriage, but since my incident happened first, the woman’s family naturally let it go.”

It turned out that neither of you was fond of each other.

Xu Fan commented in his heart.
