He had been missing for half a year. Every time he finished his enforcement team's mission and went to the inner courtyard to rest, he would hear Hu Jia complain that the guy hadn't returned yet, as if he had vanished without a trace.

The entire Taoist sect continued to operate as usual.

However, if the core bone is missing, it will not last long.

He didn't care much about the newly appointed head of the law enforcement team. Every year, head of law enforcement teams is promoted and retired. It's just a normal thing. It's just having one more direct superior.

"This is Elder Xiao Yan, a renowned alchemy master in the inner courtyard. A few days ago, he successfully refined a sixth-grade Dou Ling Pill in front of everyone in the inner courtyard. Although most of you were on missions and didn't see it, many of you who have recently joined the enforcement team must have witnessed Elder Xiao Yan's work..."

The enforcement team leader, Huo Lin, walked up to the crowd, drew out the people behind him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yan..."

Wu Hao pondered the name for a moment; it seemed somewhat familiar. No, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan…

He suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a handsome young man in a black outfit with gold thread embellishments on the cuffs, who was giving him a warm smile.

"It really is this guy?!"

Wu Hao stared in disbelief at the reverent look on the face of the law enforcement team leader beside him.

Six months later, he actually became an elder?

When did you graduate?

"wrong……"

Half a year ago, he had already reached the Dou Wang cultivation level, which indeed met the requirements for the position of elder of Canaan Academy.

Many of the law enforcement officers around them also looked delighted.

Many people had obviously heard of Xiao Yan, a sixth-grade alchemy master. After all, he had been the talk of the town in the inner academy half a year ago. Many of them had not yet graduated and were just there to earn credits, so they naturally knew about him...

Many people even licked their lips.

An alchemist! And a sixth-rank one at that!

This is an extremely rare profession, no matter where it is. If Xiao Yan joins the enforcement team, wouldn't that mean that these guys who live on the edge of a knife every day can also get close to a powerful figure and enjoy the shade?

"Wu Hao".

Xiao Yan stood before the many disciples of the enforcement team, slowly surveyed them, and then slowly uttered a sentence.

"Exit!"

"Yes!"

Wu Hao, dressed in a jet-black outfit, looked ahead, his previous sharpness suppressed, and spoke solemnly.

Xiao Yan walked up leisurely and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

He then tossed him a storage ring: "Distribute these pills to your brothers..."

"Yes!" A look of surprise flashed in Wu Hao's eyes. The moment he grasped the storage ring, he noticed the astonishing number of pills inside. He swallowed hard, took out many pills from it, and distributed them to the disciples present.

Most of them are Erwen Qingling Pills.

Compared to the three-patterned Azure Spirit Pill, the two-patterned pill is easier to make, has a lower cost, and is equally presentable. This fourth-grade pill is an extremely rare treasure in the eyes of many Great Dou Masters and even Dou Spirit experts, let alone one made by Xiao Yan, a sixth-grade alchemy master.

Seventy-four copies.

Even the commander standing to the side was somewhat astonished by the sheer quantity.

"Brothers of the enforcement team, from now on you will be my brothers, Xiao Yan's brothers. If you have any matters related to alchemy, you are welcome to come to the Daoist sect to find me..." Xiao Yan clasped his hands and spoke loudly.

"Elder Xiao is so generous!!"

Many disciples couldn't suppress their smiles.

He got a two-patterned Azure Spirit Pill for nothing. He really deserves to be called a sixth-grade alchemy master. His generosity is like throwing gold coins around.

This also caused many hot-blooded disciples to blush, and their goodwill towards Xiao Yan for his generosity increased significantly.

"Commander Huo, this is yours."

Xiao Yan casually tossed over another jade bottle, smiling as he spoke.

"Three patterns..." Huo Lin sensed the aura of the pill in the jade bottle, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment.

“I know that this pill is needed to break through to the Dou Wang realm, so please take it…” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"I cannot express my gratitude enough." Huo Lin clasped his hands in thanks, his tone becoming increasingly respectful and reverent.

Sure enough, currying favor with a sixth-grade alchemist, even the slightest favor revealed between the alchemist's fingers, was enough to make him drool. This kind of thing was a treasure that Elder Huo would never let anyone see, but to Xiao Yan...

……

"The Inner Court Enforcement Team is divided into eight teams, each with ten members, led by a veteran with an eight-star Dou Ling level or higher. They carry out extremely dangerous missions. If the Outer Court is the knife in the open, then we are the sharp blade hidden in the shadows."

On the way, Wu Hao explained in detail.

"This mission is to go to White City. When Canaan Academy students enrolled this year, the southern team was led by Instructor Ruolin. However, even for Canaan Academy, traversing the Black Corner Region was a bit of a headache, especially since they also had to protect many weak new students. Therefore, even though they sent out a lot of outer court law enforcement team disciples, they were still targeted by many desperate criminals from the Black Corner Region..."

"According to the disciple who sent the message, Instructor Ruolin, many new students, and the outer court law enforcement team disciples who went to guide them have been trapped and died in White City. Outside the city, there are many forces from the Black Corner Region chasing and intercepting them."

Wu Hao said calmly.

"Ruolin?" Xiao Yan was taken aback. "She got promoted to be the admissions officer in charge of an entire area?"

Originally, Ruolin was not the team leader, but one of the accompanying teachers.

"Because she discovered you, the academy rewarded her with many treasures and even allowed her to enter the treasure pavilion once. It is said that Teacher Ruolin has now broken through to the Dou Ling level," Wu Hao explained.

“I see…” Xiao Yan nodded.

"If we go like this, when will we ever get there? We might as well just be collecting their corpses by the time we arrive?"

Xiao Yan glanced at the swaying carriage and said speechlessly.

Wu Hao: "..."

After a long silence, he slowly said, "The horned unicorn horse pulling this carriage is a fourth-tier magical beast. Even among Dou Ling experts, its speed is top-notch."

The surrounding law enforcement officers also looked embarrassed.

He held the scabbard silently.

"It's too slow. By the time we get there, the person will probably be cold."

Xiao Yan stood up, lifted the carriage curtain, and saw that it was the official road outside. Countless merchants and travelers traveling in the Black Corner Region made way for the Horned Horse.

The scenery on both sides rushed past, and although the Horned Horse's speed was not slow, it was still like a tortoise's pace to him.

"Get up, all of you, and come with me."

Xiao Yan looked up and gazed at the sky.

With a finger placed between the lips and a gentle whistle, a sharp whistling sound is produced.

I learned this from Little Fairy Doctor back then.

This is how she summons the Storm Bird.

However, what was summoned at this moment was not the Storm Bird, but...

"hiss……"

Accompanied by a series of exclamations from afar, the sky seemed to be shrouded by a huge dark cloud, and thunder rumbled. A giant serpent, a hundred feet long, with eight wings on its back and a jet-black body, slowly appeared above the carriage, moving at the same speed as it.

That's right, it's White Teeth.

After seeing Elder Qing off, he went straight back to the vicinity of Canaan Academy and quietly waited for Xiao Yan's orders.

"This is……"

Wu Hao stared in disbelief, tilting his head back and gazing blankly at the giant beast atop the carriage.

The other members of the enforcement team were equally dumbfounded.

He is indeed a sixth-grade alchemist, but a magical beast of this rank is probably not easy to control.

Elder Xiao Yan actually summoned a sixth-order magical beast for them?

Many of the law enforcement team disciples, despite their bloodthirsty training and ruthless killing, had never seen a sixth-tier magical beast in their entire lives. Their bodies were stiff, and in the face of such a behemoth, their fighting skills and sword techniques were far too insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Xiao Yan leaped up suddenly and landed on the snake's head.

"Elder Xiao Yan, this is..."

"Shut up and follow!" Wu Hao quickly composed himself and spoke calmly. He then lightly tapped the carriage with his toes and headed towards the back of the eight-winged black serpent king.

Even though his cultivation level was lower than that of the elderly member of the enforcement team who was being reprimanded, the latter unusually restrained his emotions and followed suit.

The other enforcement team members also displayed terrifying execution ability. Although they were slightly unnatural, as they stepped onto that broad back, they quickly adjusted their formation, sat down cross-legged, and began to adjust.

They adapted extremely quickly.

Of course, the shock in the hearts of many disciples was well suppressed, but many enforcement team disciples were still not calm, their eyes vaguely glancing at the tall, slender, dark figure standing on the snake's head.

Xiao Yan glanced at everyone out of the corner of his eye.

There was a hint of drooling in his eyes.

As expected of the Canaan Academy Enforcement Team, many of them were even students, but after experiencing the battle, they quickly transformed into this kind of person.

If my second brother could train such a team for the Xiao family, that would be great...
