The Hells of Flame was only a cage, it was a dead object without intelligence. He was a mechanism set up by the senior who had placed the inside page of the Purgatory Heavenly Diagram, so Duan Ru didn't know that by refining the inside page of the Heavenly Refining Diagram, he had triggered the mechanism.
Duan Ling Tian had never been happier than he was before. Standing on the precipitous cliff, he laughed loudly and arrogantly to the brim. Duan Meng took out the Tier 5 spiritual energy pill he refined and swallowed ten of them. Immediately, his dantian's zhenqi recovered to its original state. Right now, Duan Ru Yue's cultivation had already surpassed the Heaven Realm and was already invincible in the Great Yu Empire. Of course, that was only limited to the mysterious Old Man Guyun.
That old man's cultivation was not just at the Heaven Realm. According to the ranking system in the old man's hometown, it was like the clouds of the phoenix and thunder, with each rank divided into three levels. The Grand Yu Empire's heaven level was only equivalent to the primary level of the wind level, and Old Man Gu Yun was at the peak of his power level. Even the current Gu Yun was only a medium thunder level cultivator. Old Man Gu Yun was most proficient with the Fire Cloud Palm, not the Lightning Fist.
Duan Jian took out the remaining 90 Tier 5 spiritual pills.
"It's ancient. Take a look, does it meet your standards?
Gu Yun was very careless. He knew that Duan Jian's current level was only that of a Tier 3 alchemist. At the very most, there would be a lot of them. In Gu Yun's opinion, they were worthless and he needed Tier 5 spiritual pills.
"Eh? "Tier 5 spiritual energy pill, where did you get it from?"
Gu Yun was astonished. However, he knew that as the Sect Leader, it wasn't strange for Duan Jidao to be able to obtain a Tier 5 spiritual pill. Thus, he said, "Where did you get it from?"
"How old is this spiritual energy pill?"
Gu Yun carefully sniffed the air and tried to figure it out. "Not bad, it's definitely of the best quality. Thank you. You're very considerate."
"No problem, as long as you speak, I will give you as much as you need."
Gu Yun was stunned. What? It doesn't matter how much you need. Could it be that this fellow robbed that apothecary? It didn't seem like it. Duan Jian hadn't come down from the mountain recently, but had been in seclusion in the mountain for half a year. Could it be?
"You're a fifth rank alchemist?" Gu Yun finally managed to guess Duan Jian's identity, but there was still some doubt in his mind. "Old, that's right."
"You brat, it seems like your half a year of closed door cultivation was not wasted. That's right, I haven't seen you for half a year, why didn't you say anything about it?"
Duan Meng smiled bitterly. How was he in seclusion? He had been trapped in the Hells of Flame and had just come out.
It was a good thing that the Pill Sect had the protection of the ancient era.
Duan Ru Yue recounted what had happened to him, but didn't say anything about how he had refined the Refinement Sky Diagram. Gu Yun sighed slightly, "Duan Ru Yue, it seems that you've gotten lucky from your misfortune."
Duan Jian was a bit worried after not seeing the other people of the Pill Sect for half a year. He invited Bu Baoyuan to his hall and told him the plan in his heart.
"Brother Bu, I want to raise all the deacons and above to the sky level!"
The Sect Leader had disappeared half a year ago, and the first words that he would say upon meeting with the Sect Leader were exactly the same.
"Haha, Sect Leader, you have finally returned. If it weren't for the ancient sect, something would have happened!"
Duan Ru also felt guilty. "Brother Bu, it's not that I didn't say anything, but an accident happened. I won't be able to come back at all. I only got out today."
"What's going on?" Bu Baoyuan was shocked. According to Bu Baoyuan's thoughts, with the Sect Leader's current strength, there were very few people that could match him, so how could this be?
Duan Meng recounted the story of their fortuitous encounter in the cave, only then did Bu Baoyuan realize that the Sect Leader had sent someone to deliver 2000 years of Heavenly Dragon Grass every day. So the cave actually had a Fire Dragon. Bu Baoyuan couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. If the Sect Leader hadn't refined the Fire Dragon, wouldn't the Pill Sect have been destroyed?
Bu Baoyuan couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear in his heart. It seemed he couldn't afford to be careless at all times. Even with his unparalleled skill, something unexpected would inevitably happen. He couldn't help but admire the Sect Leader's luck in refining such a powerful monster.
"Sect Leader, this plan of yours is a bit too big right? Deacon and above have 28 people, if we want to cultivate them all to the Heaven Class, we will need quite a lot of Tier 5 spiritual pills. We only have Tier 3 spiritual pills right now."
Duan Meng smiled strangely. "Brother Bu, we'll have them in three days. We can have as much as we want."
Although Bu Baoyuan couldn't doubt the Sect Leader's words, he was still a bit worried. If he didn't have them now, could it be that they would appear in three days' time? Could they have fallen from the sky?
Three days later, when Bu Baoyuan was holding a storage bag in his hand, he couldn't help but believe that there were 10 thousand Tier 5 spiritual pills inside.
"Sect Leader, not to mention 28, even 280 people are enough. How did you do it?"
Duan Meng lowered his voice. "I am a fifth rank apothecary now."
"Ah?" "You, Sect Leader, this …" Bu Baoyuan found it hard to express his thoughts. This piece of news was simply too shocking. In the entire Empire of Yu, no one had ever heard of a tier four alchemist before. What did a fifth mean? The Pill Sect would be the base for manufacturing top-notch experts. As long as they had a Tier 5 spiritual pill, they could manufacture it no matter how many Heaven Level experts they needed.
Bu Baoyuan didn't dare to imagine.
The rest of the matter was settled. Bu Baoyuan gathered all 28 or more deacons together. With the Sect Leader personally taking charge, everyone must pass Duan Pu's soul test and must be absolutely loyal.
Although Duan Ru Yue didn't tell everyone that Duan Peng could control his soul at will, everyone knew that this was the Sect Leader's secret technique, and any misdeeds couldn't escape the Sect Leader's eyes.
Duan Peng had once suggested that as long as Duan Ru Tian wanted, he could control the souls of these 28 people and become Duan Lian's lifelong servant, even Bu Baoyuan wasn't an exception.
However, Duan Meng didn't want to do that. Duan Meng had his bottom line as a person, so he didn't want to do anything to others. Duan Ru Yue didn't want to be controlled by others, nor would he intentionally control others.
Duan Ru Yue only wanted to treat others with sincerity; the soul test was just a method that couldn't control the souls of others. Otherwise, if others were just walking corpses, wouldn't that be boring?
This was the dividing line between good and bad.
Duan Meng only wanted to train his own team, and that was his family background.
Sincerity was the only standard in the sect.
After thirty-six days, Duan Pu had personally used the power of the Skysplit Tactic to successfully train twenty-eight people to become Heaven class middle ranked masters. Bu Baoyuan's Heaven class high level power far surpassed everyone else. Don't underestimate the difference by just a single level, but the amount of power one possessed was worlds apart.
This was also Duan Ru Yue's belief in Bu Baoyuan. Bu Baoyuan also knew that the Sect Leader regarded him as his blood brother, and Bu Baoyuan sincerely supported Bu Baoyuan.
In addition, the secret army of 1 million people trained by Bu Baoyuan and the others had also reached the earth level. Everything was ready except for the east wind.
Duan Meng secretly sent people to the capital to report to the old emperor. The old emperor was overjoyed. He quickly sent someone to check on the Pill Sect secretly and confirm the sect's strength. After the special envoy confirmed, he bestowed the Emperor's gold medal to Duan Ri.
Other than the emperor, he had the right to kill and seize anyone else. The old emperor was also risking everything. If Duan Jian wanted to rebel at this moment, the Great Yu Dynasty would change generations. However, the old emperor still wanted to meet him.
The Emperor had gambled on the character of Duan Jian.
