Xin Yue giggled: "Everyone says that Duan Ru's skill is extraordinary, but I don't think it's that great." Seeing Duan Ru Yue's sluggish body gradually shrinking, she let out a long sigh.

"Master, I have completed your mission. You can return me my freedom." Xin Yue's face lit up with happiness as she looked around, "Duan Jian is the Sect Leader of the Pill Sect. He must have a great fortune. I can make some money with him."

Xin Yue was about to look around, but a sigh came from behind, "Are you looking for a treasure? "It's a pity you won't see it." Xin Yue was shocked: "Who?" As she turned around, she saw the natural and unrestrained Duan Ru.

"How is this possible? "You were clearly struck by my Absolute Soul Palm, even the Great Firmament Golden Immortal was unable to save you." Duan Meng laughed: "Perhaps the Great Firmament Golden Immortal was unable to save me, but I couldn't save myself, right?"

Xin Yue suddenly understood, "You with the surname Duan, you didn't die. Are you lying to me?" Duan Ru Yue chuckled: "Smart, it's no wonder you're an Earth Sect leader. It's a pity that your IQ is a bit too low."

Xin Yue was greatly alarmed: "How do you know I'm from the Earth Sect?" Duan Jian smiled. Just a moment ago, they had only been probing each other. This reply from Xin Yue was tantamount to admitting it.

Xin Yue also discovered her own slip of tongue, and bitterly said, "Since you have seen through me, there is nothing left to say. Please do as you please, I am not a free man."

"What's going on?" Xin Yue sighed: "I'm a dying person, and there's nothing much to hide. My soul core has already been controlled by the Earth Sect's master, so I'm not a free person at all. If this operation succeeds, the Earth Sect's Leader can promise to give me back my freedom, but now it seems like there's no hope."

Duan Ru Yue looked at Xin Yue and knew that she was a pitiful person. She didn't have any sort of irreconcilable enmity with him. She was only following orders, which was somewhat pitiful. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"Xin Yue, are you willing to follow me?" Xin Yue was stunned. "Young master Duan, you can still trust me, but my soul has already been controlled. My soul still belongs to the Earth Sect."

Duan Ru laughed loudly: "Controlling the soul, that's my forte. How hard is a mere control of the soul? Let go of the soul and I'll remove it for you."

At this moment, Xin Yue was already prepared to face death. Naturally, she wasn't afraid of Duan Jian playing tricks on her soul. In any case, her soul didn't belong to her, so she let it go.

Xin Yue immediately released her soul core and started her spiritual force, slowly entering. He then discovered that there was a trace of an external soul force in the depths of Xin Yue's soul. It was this soul force that controlled Xin Yue.

Duan Meng started to capture this wisp of soul. This wisp of soul was actually very powerful and had its own consciousness. Seeing Duan Meng's spiritual force enter, it knew that it was no match for it and attempted to escape. However, it was too late. Duan Ling Tian's powerful spiritual force had bound this thread of soul force, turning it into a turtle in a jar.

Duan Meng had placed this strand of soul into a piece of ten thousand year old cold wood, preventing it from escaping or even allowing it to burn itself. This strand of soul then transmitted a threatening voice.

Duan Ru Yue laughed loudly: "If I let you go, would you let me go? What a joke." The soul was speechless and obediently stayed in the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Wood.

Of course, Duan Ru Yue wouldn't be easily trusted. If the Earth Sect had even more advanced methods to control Xin Yue and he didn't have any methods to control her, wouldn't he be in danger? Duan Jian left a trace of his spiritual force in the depths of Xin Yue's sea of consciousness. If she made any unusual moves, he would immediately know.

This strand of spiritual force was different from normal spiritual force. It was in the deepest part of a person's consciousness, the origin point of their sea of consciousness. Normal spiritual force couldn't reach it, and controlling spiritual force was the safest method.

The next day, Xin Yue was still a servant like before, and was even more attentive to the people around Duan Ru Yue. Even Qi Liang and the others felt the difference.

In the past, he had always felt that Xin Yue was a little strange, but now, he felt a little familiar with her. Xiao Feng Xian didn't know this, but Duan Ru Yue understood it because she had her own spiritual force deep within her sea of consciousness. This kind of spiritual force was something that no one else in the mortal world could control. They could only use it on themselves.

Xin Yue had always been by his side. The Earth Sect people knew that their plan had failed, so they temporarily gave up on dealing with Duan Ru Yue. Instead, they turned their attention to the Golden Sect.

The art of the Eye of Qi would occasionally come to his residence to chat with him and discuss the current situation. The power of the Golden Sect was just as Qi Jing had said. It was truly powerful, and it had been revealed recently. Not to mention other places, even Cold Ice City had branches of the Golden Sect everywhere.

However, Duan Meng wasn't worried, because he could tell that the Golden Sect's target wasn't him, but was actually competing with the Earth Sect for territory. Duan Meng also had his own news network, and constantly received news of the war between the Golden Sect and the Earth Sect.

If it wasn't for the fact that many Golden Sect disciples had died, or that all the forces of the Earth Sect had been annihilated, the battle between the two sects had been at a standstill. What made Duan Meng curious was that even though a lot of people had disappeared, the number of people in the Golden Sect had not decreased, and Duan Jian suspected that the Golden Sect and the Earth Sect were secretly hiding many of their subordinates.

One day, the two came to drink again. As the two talked excitedly, Qi Tong said something interesting, "Young Master Duan, have you discovered that even though the two sects have been fighting to the death, the number of people has not decreased, but the territory is constantly expanding. If this continues, your Pill Sect's territory will be engulfed within a year."

An ominous thought began to occupy Duan Meng's mind, "Could it be that they're faking it, and their real goal is to occupy territory?" Qi Tong smiled and continued, "Young Master Duan, you're smart. You can tell that the two sects are actually increasing in strength. This is the truth. You must take note of it."

Duan Ru hurriedly asked, "How does the number of people who eat the pills in the Pill Sect change? How is the pill business?" Qi Liang didn't seem to care at all, "It did reduce a bit, but it's all within reason. The people who were lost were all the lowest level alchemists, there weren't any in the upper echelons."

Duan Jidao was shocked. "Qi Liang, we fell into the enemy's trap. This is boiling the frog in warm water. Even until death, we won't understand." Qi Liang was also stunned. "Young Master, what should we do?"

Duan Ling Tian pondered for a moment. "A territory is useless. Strength decides everything. If you say it, cut the price by half for a grade seven or higher spirit pill, I want to see how these two sects will deal with it."

Qi Tong smiled and said, "Young Master Duan, actually, you don't need to panic. Your main goal is to find the Purple Flame Divine Dragon. The Pill Sect is just a support for you, there's no need to put it to heart."

Duan Ling Tian smiled. "Even though I said it like that, even if I find the Purple Flame Divine Dragon, I still have to survive in the 36 continents. Without strength to assist, it's equivalent to losing my eyes. "Moreover, no matter how strong I am, I still have my family to take care of."

The art of Qi Tong agreed. "That's right. If a person just focused on training and lost his humanity, then he would lose the true meaning of training. Even an immortal needs kinship in order for longevity to have meaning ".

A few days later, the sect's large amount of spiritual energy pills filled the entire continent. Almost everyone came to buy and use the sect's spiritual energy pills, and only then did the sect recover.

On the other hand, even though the Golden Sect and Earth Sect had huge territories, their business was in a mess. Even the sect's wages couldn't be maintained. Many of the lower echelons couldn't help but fall into the embrace of the Pill Sect.

However, there were conditions for the Pill Sect. Only those who were above the third rank would have the qualifications to join the Pill Sect, and only those who were above the third rank would have the qualifications to continue cultivating and master a higher level of alchemy.

As a result, the Pill Sect's popularity and strength had risen tremendously, and the sources of all kinds of information were many and many times more detailed. The Pill Sect they encountered was still the number one sect in the entire continent.
