My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

The next day, Chu Fan's expression was full of bitterness as he was sealed into a state of mortality, accompanying his father Li Xingci in sweeping the steps.

Chu Fan was holding a broom, sweeping with his father, step by step.

"Dad, Grand Master asked you to sweep, not me, and doing this isn't helping my cultivation at all."

"Now I'm in the Integration Stage, dad, don't try and deceive me with such kids' talk." Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

Chu Fan was somewhat exhausted after sweeping these 1000 steps, which made his back ache.

On the contrary, Li Xingci was quietly sweeping the steps behind him without showing any signs of fatigue.

"Shut up, kid. When you were mouthing off and mocking your dad, you should've thought that this day would come." Li Xingci gave Chu Fan a look and said.

"Dad, I was wrong, show me mercy and let mum unseal it. Living as a mortal is truly too painful." Chu Fan said with a pained expression.

"You grew up in a honey jar, with people smoothing your channels and practicing the Sect's Cultivation Technique for you since birth."

"Although some reasons caused you to have mediocre aptitude, abundant spirit medicines, sacred pills, and heavenly and earthly treasures have supplemented your acquired aptitude."

"Recently, every time I see you, I feel that you're missing something."

"Now I finally realize."

Li Xingci collected the leaves on the steps into a dustpan, stood up and looked at Li Chufan, smilingly said.

"Lacking what, it's not the experience of a mortal, right?" Chu Fan said.

"You're right, as your Master Ancestor would say, 'A mortal body, the beginning of the Great Dao.'

"You started off too high since you were little. Without experiencing the life of a mortal."

"The path to the Great Dao is incomplete."

"Back when I became a disciple under your Master Ancestor, during the Qi Cultivation stage, It wasn't just cultivation, it also involved some common work."

"Don't complain, don't give up, take it steadily, follow dad and slowly sweep the steps of the main peak. This will be helpful for your future Cultivation." Li Xingci said calmly.

"Dad, you're really going at lengths to trick me into working with you." Chu Fan snorted.

He didn't believe these nonsense. If these things were really helpful for cultivation, the Master would have let him do it when he was a kid.

The scene of Li Xingci sweeping the steps was seen by many disciples, and the saying, 'A mortal body, the beginning of the Great Dao,' also spread among the sect.

"A mortal body, the beginning of the Great Dao."

Many disciples felt that this saying was quite magical. Although they all understood its meaning, they wanted to explore its deeper implications.

As a result, many disciples started to follow Li Xingci's example, sealing themselves into the state of mortals, and sweeping various parts of the sect.

Or following the puppets in doing the physical labor that common people do.

Pu Tao surprisingly found later that his computational power had saved a bit more than usual. Although it wasn't much for him, following the idea of saving every little bit, he started to issue some duties that the puppets needed to do in the sect's Affairs Hall.

The sect's treasure vault also got an extra batch of sealing rings. Once they are worn, they would be in a state of mortality within the sect.

In the underground space, No.2 Clone asked Xu Fan with a smile.

"Can becoming a mortal and doing work be beneficial to cultivation?"

"It depends on the person. But if you stay in the mortal state for a long time and suddenly unseal it, there will be a sense of novelty, giving people a feeling of enlightenment." Xu Fan replied, smiling as he refined artifacts.

At this point, half of the upgrade of Hidden Spirit Island had been completed. The most core parts had been completed, and what's left was the main body part.

"Look at how energetic the sect disciples are when they're in a mortal state, working." No.1 Clone said, looking at the light curtain on the wall and laughing.

In the light curtain, Shadow Sting, Xiang Yun and others were following the Vegetable Spirit Rabbit doing agricultural work and maintaining the growth of spirit items.

The Vegetable Spirit Rabbit looked dazed at the current situation, and there was a hint of panic in its eyes.

Could it be that the sect doesn't need him anymore? The work would be done by these previously arrogant disciples from now on?

The Vegetable Spirit Rabbit, leading these disciples, was feeling frosty. While trimming excess leaves from a spiritual tree, it couldn't help but start crying.

"What's wrong? None of us have treated you unfairly, why are you crying?" Xiang Yun asked with a puzzled expression.

"Whenever I think of my short time in the sect, I want to cry."

"I heard the Demon World is cruel. Could you all perhaps mention to Lord Pu Tao not to send me to the Demon World?" The Vegetable Spirit Rabbit started crying out in despair.

"Who said we don't want you? We just wanted to experience the life of a mortal. We're not taking your job, and Pu Tao will not chase you away." Shadow Sting replied. He had just helped the Vegetable Spirit Rabbit trim a few spiritual trees and was in a good mood, hence his tone was gentle.

Upon hearing this, the Vegetable Spirit Rabbit immediately stopped crying, wiped its tears, and stood up to continue its work.

"I'm about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I can still serve the sect for another 700 years, and possibly even longer in the future."

"Fellow Inner Sect Disciples, follow me. I will share the secrets of my work with you." The Vegetable Spirit Rabbit said while taking a deep breath.

'I was scared to death. I thought you wanted to take my job.'

Shadow Sting, Xiang Yun, and the others exchanged looks and couldn't help but laugh.

This scene was observed by Xu Fan and others who were refining artifacts in the underground space.

"Interesting, we almost frightened this Vegetable Spirit Rabbit into a disorder." Clone No.2 said with a laugh.

"For the Vegetable Spirit Rabbit, work is the most important." Xu Fan said.

Who could resist a lifelong enterprise that takes care of your life and death, food and drink, cultivation technique, and spiritual Qi resources?

With the sect solving all your troubles, all you need to do is quietly do what you are supposed to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Fan suddenly felt he was too conscientious.

"Pu Tao, are the welfare and treatment of the Demon Division still based on the old standards?" Xu Fan suddenly asked. He had fully entrusted the affairs of the Demon Division to Pu Tao and hadn't bothered much.

"It's always been that way, nothing much has changed."

A light curtain chart appeared before Xu Fan's eyes, showing the welfare and treatment of various races in the Demon Division.

"Increase the welfare and treatment of the Vegetable Spirit Rabbit and the Wind Blue Rain Swans Clan by 20%. They've been with the sect for so long; it's time their treatment increased a little."

"The treatment of other demon clans should be increased by 10% as well." Xu Fan said.

Xu Fan looked at the treatment of various demon clans in the Demon Division and found that the resources consumed by the Demon Division could be ignored. It would not matter much even if the treatment was slightly increased.

"As you wish, Master."

Spring comes and goes, and a year passes in the blink of an eye.

At this time, near the steps of the main peak's summit, a man in a green robe holding a broom was sweeping away the dust and dead branches.

He was completely unaware that a year was about to pass.

He couldn't remember, but Li Chufan, standing behind him, could calculate each minute and second very clearly.

"Father, your year-long mortal seal is about to be lifted." Li Chufan's hands started shaking as he swept. This year had been too tough for him.

He watched the sunset daily, only eating a bit of dry food when he was hungry during the day.

"Speak no more, come with me to the mountaintop to watch the sunset."

After saying these words, Li Xingci also finished sweeping the last step.

Just in time for the sunset, a red glow covered the sky, and the afterglow shone on Li Xingci's face.

In an instant, a strong momentum surged from Li Xingci.

"The body of a mortal, the beginning of the Dao."

"Master, I've attained enlightenment!"
