Duan Ling Tian stood on the peak of the main peak of the Qilan Mountain and gazed down upon the Qilan Mountain Range. He couldn't help but feel complacent.

After three years of transformation, Mount Qilan was now a paradise on earth, and extremely stable. Using a vast amount of Heavenly Dragon Grass, he had managed to cultivate three great bird gardens, three great earth beast gardens, a Heavenly Crane Garden, and a Celestial Eagle Garden. Not only would the sky protect the top of the Qilin Mountain Range, even if there were any traces, they would be discovered by the pigeons and reported to the headquarters immediately.

Every single garden had millions of tamed beasts, and every tamed beast had the skills of a Pill Sect deacon. This was because they had been raised with countless Heavenly Dragon Grass. If the current Pill Sect didn't have permission, they wouldn't even be able to fly in a fly.

At the back of the sect, Duan Meng had sent people to open up a huge field and nurture tens of millions of Heavenly Dragon Grass, providing a vast amount of material foundation for the cultivators of the sect to cultivate. Currently, the 3200 Supervisors of the Pill Sect were all people with extremely high skills. Any one of them could easily look down on the heads of other sects. The strength of the Pill Sect had reached unprecedented levels.

Duan Meng's martial arts had also reached an extremely high level. As for what level he could reach, no one knew. In the Fire Dragon Province, he was invincible.

However, Duan Lian still felt a trace of worry in his heart. That was, the three mysterious sects. What level of strength did they have? To think that he himself knew nothing about them. This was the most frightening aspect.

With this worry in his heart, Duan Ru Yue did his best to develop the Pill Sect. Right now, the number of people in the Pill Sect was already a staggering 2 million. However, there were 500 thousand guards in Mount Qilan, and there were only 2 million people in the entire Fire Dragon Prefecture.

Duan Ling Tian wasn't stingy. Other than the fact that he hadn't contributed his 10,000 Year Heavenly Dragon Grass, the Pill Sect had already provided tens of millions of Heavenly Dragon Grass. Only then could the Pill Sect be so strong. Within the sect, strength dictated everything, and one could occupy important positions as long as they had the strength. Of course, the premise was loyalty to the sect. In other words, loyalty to the sect master.

"Chirp ~" A burst of sharp cries tore through the sky. Duan Meng looked out into the distance, and the Heavenly Crane flew over before descending beside Duan Ling Tian. Tianhe called out a few times to Duan Meng, but he still understood that something big had happened in the Pill Sect. Duan Ling Tian arrived at the great hall in a matter of moments, riding a crane as he flipped over and arrived at the great hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, something big has happened within the sect!"

"What are you panicking for? Tell me slowly!"

"A large area of Heavenly Dragon Grass in the back mountain has disappeared. There are already thousands of them. The reason is unclear."

Duan Meng was shocked. The current Pill Sect was like an iron bucket. Outsiders would not be able to enter, and this was obviously caused by the insiders themselves. However, the sect rules were strict. Not to mention thousands of them, they would even steal a stalk of Heavenly Dragon Grass. Who would be so daring as to steal it? Thousands of plants, enough to make thousands of experts?

Could it be a remnant of the Qi Sect? It seemed impossible.

After the Pill Sect entered the Qilan Mountain Range, millions of people had conducted a thorough search of the mountain range. It could be said that they had searched every inch of it. Even an ant wouldn't be able to escape a search from the Pill Sect, let alone a person hiding. This was obviously impossible.

Insiders? It seemed even more impossible. If one were to say that it was possible to steal one and consume it privately, it was even more impossible for several thousand Heavenly Dragon Grass to disappear in one night.

Who is it?

"Didn't you find any clues?"

"Please forgive me Sect Leader, I didn't find anything suspicious, that's why I thought it was strange."

Duan Meng had no choice but to personally take a look. "Let's go to the medicinal field and take a look."

The Pill Sect's Heavenly Dragon Grass Field was located halfway up the mountain, on top of the mysterious cave that they had encountered previously. It was a place where the essence of the sun and moon gathered, and was extremely beneficial to the growth of Heavenly Dragon Grass. This was a secret that Duan Meng discovered after careful investigation. This was the Pill Sect's secret medicinal field, and also the place where the Pill Sect relied on to survive. Without the permission of a deacon, no one would be able to enter here.

A trace of uneasiness flashed through Duan Ru's heart: Could it be that someone is rebelling?

Seemingly impossible, Duan Ru decided to personally find out the reason.

"Brother Bu, how about this, this news cannot be leaked. Be on alert as usual, I'll investigate it myself."

Everyone left the room, and Duan Ling Tian arrived at the place where the Heavenly Dragon Grass was lost.

What was lost was all thousand-year Heavenly Dragon Grass. Not a single one of them had been lost in the past hundred years, and they were all the oldest, so their identification was extremely accurate.

Duan Meng couldn't help but be shocked. Other than him, could it be that there was someone else who was so familiar with Sky Dragon Grass? Did the Pill Sect really have such a genius? If that was the case, didn't that mean that the Pill Sect had a strong enemy?

If he was an enemy, then it would be dangerous. In one night, he would eat thousands of Heavenly Dragon Grass. How powerful would his internal energy be? Even he could not do that. This person was too dangerous.

However, it was probably useless, as Duan Ling Tian wanted to investigate everything. He hid himself in a secluded part of the herb field to see if there were any movements during the night.

At night, the sky was filled with countless stars, and the medicinal field was filled with purple clouds that reached into the clouds. Even the flying birds in the sky felt energized after smelling it.

Duan Meng knew that this was the spirit of the Heavenly Dragon Grass, and the spiritual energy it was emitting was already touching the heavens.

Duan Meng was in the midst of contemplating when he saw something flash before his eyes. A gigantic figure flashed by and headed straight for the medicinal field. Duan Ru could immediately guess what it was.

"It's the heavenly birds who are causing trouble. These animals deserve to die. We must punish them well tomorrow!"

Duan Meng muttered to himself as he suddenly realized that something was amiss. If a heavenly bird's body wasn't that big, then what was it?

Even though it was night, Duan Jiru was able to see clearly that it was a dragon. The faint glow of red light was like a ball of fire. Although it was not very obvious, the flames on his body were still visible.

"How can it be a dragon? "Where did it come from?"

Duan Meng hadn't even thought about it when the fire dragon opened its bloody mouth. With a single breath, the thousand-year Sky Dragon Grass in the medicinal field was sucked into its mouth as if it had grown eyes. In an instant, the several thousand year old Sky Dragon Grass in the medicinal field was sucked into its stomach. At this moment, the dim flames on the Fire Dragon seemed to have become brighter.

Duan Meng understood. It was this fire dragon, the Heavenly Dragon Grass from the medicinal field. Duan Ru Yue didn't disturb him and instead watched quietly. After swallowing thousands of Heavenly Dragon Grass, the Fire Dragon seemed to be full. It stretched its back lazily and then started to wander back.

Duan Ling Tian circulated his true qi and was able to walk on the wind, slowly following. The fire dragon flew down the cliff and entered a cave. It had disappeared.

Now that the truth had been revealed, Duan Jian remained calm and collected before returning to take a good nap. The next day, a man went to the mountain stream and found the cave. He wanted to explore it.

The cave was very deep. After walking for an hour, he finally reached the bottom and felt a wave of heat. Upon closer inspection, it was a land of lava that was emitting hot steam without any signs.

Duan Ling Tian searched through every nook and cranny, but he didn't find any traps, much less any holes in the cave. He was extremely puzzled. Duan Meng could only summon out a pounce: "What do you think this is all about?"

The moment Duan Peng appeared, he wrinkled his nose, "A highly familiar smell, what's going on?" Suddenly, his eyes glowed as he looked at the lava. After a while, he said, "Duan Peng, there's a fire dragon in the lava." Duan Meng immediately realized that the fire dragon was in the magma.
