My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Repairing the Floating Skyship
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, an Inner Sect Elder approached the two of them.
Great, there are big shots everywhere, Inner Sect Elders usually start at the
Dividing Spirit Stage. “Greetings, senior.”
“Greetings, Elder Li.”
The Inner Sect Elder looked at Xu Fan and asked, “How many types of runes do you know?”
“206 types.”
“Arrange the Flexible Rune, Heavenly Turtle Rune, Giant Rock Rune, Steel Rune, Impact-Dissipating Rune, Spirit-Gathering Rune, and Iron Sand Rune to create the hardest shield. How should they be arranged?” The Inner Sect Elder didn’t waste time and directly began testing Xu Fan.
These runes were the most basic runes that Xu Fan had learned and was very familiar with from the artifact refining Jade Slips.
Xu Fan used his fingertip as a brush and directly drew the runes according to the best arrangement.
A small shield made of runes appeared in the air.
“Hmm, you have a solid foundation and are well-rounded.”
“Repairing the outer wall of the Floating Skyship costs 1,000 Spirit Stones per square meter and earns you an additional 100 Contribution Points. Is there a problem?” The Inner Sect Elder quickly said.
“No,” Xu Fan nodded.
At this point, the Inner Sect Elder waved, and a Void Refining Stage expert descended from the Floating Skyship.
“Do I need to mentor him?” The Void Refining expert asked.
“Yes, please take care of him, senior,” the Inner Sect Elder said.
“I wouldn’t dare not to; the Great Peak Master is watching from above.”
“Alright, no more talking. Kid, what’s your name?” The Void Refining expert asked.
“Junior Outer Sect Disciple Xu Fan,” Xu Fan felt like a chick sandwiched between several fierce tigers.
“Alright, follow me.”
Without waiting for everyone to reply, the Void Refining expert directly teleported with Xu Fan to the side of the Floating Skyship.
“Kid, your repair speed is related to my reward.” “Hurry up, it’ll be good for you.”
“Alright, first observe how others are repairing.”
“Okay.”
Xu Fan immediately used the Light Body Technique to stand in the air and started closely observing the side of the Floating Skyship.
The entire outer shell of the Floating Skyship was pale yellow, with a pitted surface that made it look a bit rundown.
Based on Xu Fan’s estimation, the Floating Skyship was at least 50,000 meters long and over 5,000 meters tall.
After looking at the ship’s body, Xu Fan turned his attention to several groups of people repairing the outer hull in the distance.
After only a brief look, Xu Fan withdrew his gaze. It was just a simple repair job, with the only difficulty being the arrangement of the rune arrays; the rest was just manual labor.
“Senior, let’s get started,” Xu Fan said to the Void Refining expert.
“Oh, you’ve understood so quickly?”
“Let’s begin then.”
Xu Fan took the Void Refining expert to a part of the ship’s body that had been penetrated.
“Senior, mix Star Profound Iron and Taiyin Fine Iron in a ratio of eight to two to create 700 kilograms,” Xu Fan estimated and said. The principle was the same; the materials were just of higher quality.
The Void Refining expert didn’t waste words and directly took out several pieces of refined ore from his storage ring to begin melting.
“Senior, what kind of Spiritual Fire is this?” Xu Fan asked as he watched the expert control the Spiritual Fire to refine the extremely hard Star Profound Iron and Taiyin Fine Iron. Both were extremely hard Spirit Irons in the cultivation world; even a great power at the Combination Stage would have to put in some effort to break them after they had set.
“If you want the Supreme Golden Profound Fire, exchange it for a Dao Tool.” As he spoke, the refined ore had already turned into a ball of liquid essence.
“Alright, I’ve placed a layer of spiritual power around the essence. Now you can control it to fill the gap.”
“Okay.”
Trimming off the damaged part, Xu Fan filled it with the newly-refined essence. Before shaping it, he carved the runes according to the original pattern, then connected them to the whole formation on the ship’s outer hull.
As Xu Fan and the Void Cultivation big shot grew more skilled in their cooperation, their repair speed increased, eventually completing the task meant for three months in just two and a half.
When Xu Fan finished carving the last Spirit-Gathering Rune, the former brilliance of the Floating Skyship reemerged.
It was overflowing with flowing light, indestructible, and as magnificent as a divine vessel.
“Senior, the outer hull of the Floating Skyship has been repaired. Is there anything else to do?” Xu Fanchang breathed a sigh of relief, as he had been under high workload for more than two months.
If it hadn’t been for the occasional Strong God Pill handed to Xu Fan by the Inner Sect Elder who first hosted him, his body probably would have collapsed by now.
“Yes, but it’s not your concern anymore.”
“Kid, after spending time with you, I’ve found that you’re a genius.”
“In the field of artifact refining, I feel that the possibility of you becoming a Refining Master isn’t impossible.”
“The Eldest Brother just sent a message saying he’s very satisfied with our speed.”
At this moment, five Rune Stones appeared in the Void Refining big shot’s hand, immediately catching Xu Fan’s attention.
Runes that could be carried on Rune Stones were the fine works among the runes, and exceedingly rare to come by.
“Kid, I like you. I got these five Rune Stones by chance.”
“I’ll give them to you, as an act of goodwill. After you become a Refining Master, don’t forget to forge a Dao Tool for me.” The Void Refining big shot laughed as he spoke.
Taking the Rune Stones, Xu Fan said to the Void Refining big shot: “As soon as I become a Refining Master, I will forge a Dao Tool for senior.”
Wanting to give something in return, but realizing that he had nothing impressive enough, Xu Fan ultimately abandoned the idea.
“Alright, I’m looking forward to that day.”
When he parted with the Void Refining big shot, Xu Fan received a piece of Spirit Jade, which he could use to contact his senior if he ever encountered difficulty.
“What a great senior, I must get closer to him in the future.” Xu Fan smiled as he looked at the Spirit Jade in his hand.
At this point, the Inner Sect Elder appeared beside Xu Fan.
“Your reward is a total of 42,000 Spirit Stones and 2,100 Contribution Points.” The Elder handed a Storage Bag to Xu Fan.
“Xu Fan, are you interested in joining my Refining Equipment Peak?” The Inner Sect Elder looked at Xu Fan with appreciation in his eyes. He had seen Xu Fan’s repair work, and without close inspection, it was impossible to detect any traces of the repairs.
An outer disciple who could achieve such a level in his Qi Refining Stage was undoubtedly a genius, and in the industry’s terms, he had the potential to become a Grandmaster.
“Once I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, I will join the Refining Equipment Peak,” Xu Fan said, knowing that he would have 120 years for Foundation Establishment anyway.
“Alright, I’m waiting for you at the Heavenly Refining Peak.”
After seeing Xu Fan’s talent, the Peak Master thought it would take him only ten years to establishment his foundation. With his recommendation at that time, Xu Fan’s entry to the Inner Sect would not be a problem.
“The big shots fought to escort me when I first arrived, but now I don’t need them anymore. It’s sad that I have to walk all by myself now.” Xu Fan sighed as he sat on the Lingfeng Boat, not expecting the Cultivation World to be so realistic.
As he spoke, Xu Fan looked back at the vast world behind him.
“The Sect is even more amazing than I imagined. Having half of a Little Thousand World as the Inner Sect is truly astonishing.”
“I thought the Outer Sect was already big enough, but there’s even more.” “After being promoted to the Inner Sect, I must take a good look at this Little Thousand World..”
