Xiao Li stood on a mountain Peak of the Cloud Mist Sect, gazing down below.
"Sigh~ It seems she hasn't come out of seclusion yet." Xiao Li shook his head, as his Soul Power didn't sense Yun Yun's aura.
"Indeed, she hasn't come out of seclusion." A voice sounded, and Yun Ji was seen flying over from a distance.
"Grand Elder Yun Ji, it's been a while." Xiao Li clasped his fists.
Yun Ji also clasped his fists: "Elder Xiao, you're too kind. The Sect Master is indeed still in seclusion. Do you have something you wish to say? Perhaps I could relay the message?"
"Then I'll trouble the Grand Elder. Oh, and the Elixirs have been refined. Two Huangji Pills and four Dou Ling Pills are here." Xiao Li handed a storage ring to Yun Ji.
"Mm, thanks to you, the rise of our Cloud Mist Sect is within reach. Currently, the Old Sect Master is in seclusion to Breakthrough to Dou Zong, and the Sect Master is Breakthrough to Dou Huang.
Even I have benefited from your grace; I am now a four-star Dou Huang. As the Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect, I express my gratitude to you."
Yun Ji clasped his fists and bowed to Xiao Li.
"Hey! Grand Elder, you're too polite. I am an Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect, and to support me, the Cloud Mist Sect even used its Sect's accumulated treasures.
I, Xiao Li, am not an ungrateful person. Helping the Cloud Mist Sect refine some Elixirs is merely part of my duty.
By the way, Grand Elder, if Yun'er comes out of seclusion, please tell her that I've gone to the Central Plains. I'll return after completing my training, so she shouldn't worry."
Xiao Li clasped his fists to Yun Ji, then departed.
Yun Ji watched Xiao Li's departing figure, stroking his beard and chuckling: "Heh heh, he's still thinking of the Sect Master, after all. But when will they marry? As long as they're not married, I feel a little uneasy."
...Several days later, Canaan Academy
"Phew, finally here. Let's hang these two on the Dead Spirit Tree."
Xiao Li was covered in blood, dragging two corpses with his left hand. After arriving at Peace Town, Xiao Li hung them on the Dead Spirit Tree.
"There are so many corpses on this Dead Spirit Tree. I wonder if this old tree can still hold up? Never mind, I don't care. I'll add two new Dou Huang corpses to the Dead Spirit Tree."
After doing all this, Xiao Li walked towards the interior of the Academy. On the way, he was targeted by two Dou Huangs, who seemed to be called the Golden Silver Elders, a pair of brothers. He didn't know why they wanted to kill Xiao Li as soon as they met.
Xiao Li had a fiery temper and directly slaughtered these two. What was there to be arrogant about for two nine-star Dou Huangs?
After Xiao Li left, the other people in Peace Town gathered. Xiao Li had just dragged two corpses into Peace Town and then hung them on the Dead Spirit Tree, astonishing many.
"Aren't these the Golden Silver Elders who have been causing trouble in the Black-Corner Region for the past two years? Both are nine-star Dou Huangs, and their combined combat power is said to rival a Dou Zong expert!
Who was that person just now? He actually killed the Golden Silver Elders? Could it be a Dou Zong Elder from Canaan Academy?"
"It shouldn't be a Dou Zong. That adult entered Peace Town with Qi wings, clearly a Dou Huang expert. My goodness, that's incredible."
"What are you all doing here? Gathering like this?" A hoarse, cold voice came, and a burly middle-aged man walked over with a team.
"It's the Canaan Academy Law Enforcement Team!"
"It's Wu Tianlang, the Law Enforcement Team Commander! Oh my goodness!"
Wu Tianlang walked over. He had just led the Law Enforcement Team to eliminate a disobedient small faction outside and returned to Peace Town to find a crowd gathered here.
As the Law Enforcement Team Commander, he naturally couldn't be unprepared. If someone were to gather and cause trouble, it would be an embarrassment to Canaan Academy!
"Hmm? These are the Golden Silver Elders? How did they end up hanging here? Tell me, what happened?" Wu Tianlang was very surprised. He was now a nine-star Dou Huang himself and had dealt with the Golden Silver Elders.
The Golden Silver Elders were extremely powerful. Wu Tianlang might not even be able to defeat one of them in a one-on-one fight. It was truly incredible that someone could directly kill both of them.
The surrounding people spoke voluminously, making Wu Tianlang understand that a young man who looked around twenty years old brazenly dragged two corpses into Peace Town, then hung the Golden Silver Elders on the Dead Spirit Tree and walked towards the Academy.
And this young man was a Dou Huang, with black Qi transformed into wings.
"I need to go see." Wu Tianlang ordered the Law Enforcement Team to stand by in Peace Town, and he chased after them, wanting to see who that mysterious person was!
At this time, Xiao Li was rapidly running towards the Academy. Since he had an Elder's token, he could easily enter the Academy. He first went to see Hu Gan.
"Yo, Vice Dean, long time no see." Xiao Li greeted Hu Gan.
"Hmm? Xiao Li? Why are you here? Wait! Xiao Li!" Hu Gan was taking an afternoon nap, groggily opening the door for Xiao Li, and then woke up after seeing who it was.
"Of course it's me? Vice Dean, are you getting old? That shouldn't be the case, should it? You shouldn't be at the age of senility yet." Xiao Li said with a smile.
"Hey! You brat! Wasn't it just that I disturbed you when you were doing Alchemy? Do you really hold such a grudge? You insult me as soon as you see me." Hu Gan wasn't annoyed. He understood Xiao Li's personality and said, annoyed.
"Vice Dean, your cultivation has reached nine-star Dou Huang?" Xiao Li sensed Hu Gan's cultivation.
"Mm~ Thanks to your Huangji Pill and Qing Yuan Pill, I saved a lot of Cultivation time. I'm about to reach the Peak of Dou Huang. Do you think you could refine a Break-Sect Pill for me? I've already prepared the Medicinal materials."
Hu Gan rubbed his hands and said, after all, he had personally witnessed Xiao Li successfully refine a Break-Sect Pill. At that time, Xiao Li took one Break-Sect Pill and left the other for a Peak Dou Huang Elder whose lifespan was nearing its end.
That Elder lived up to expectations, Breakthrough to Dou Zong, becoming a foundation of Canaan Academy.
Now, Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang have both reached nine-star Dou Huang, and will soon Cultivate to Peak Dou Huang. The Break-Sect Pill is very important to them.
"It depends on the situation. This time..."
Clang—
The door to Hu Gan's office was violently opened, and Wu Tianlang, full of Evil Qi, burst in.
"Vice Dean, it's bad. A powerful expert has entered the Academy. He killed the Golden Silver Elders, and I don't know what he's doing in the Academy! Huh? Xiao Li? Why are you here!"
Wu Tianlang said anxiously, then he noticed Xiao Li.
"The Golden Silver Elders? Are they those two old men with golden and silver hair? I killed them. They were completely insane, they started fighting me as soon as they saw me, and I ended up killing them."
Xiao Li said calmly.
"What! You killed the Golden Silver Elders!" Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang exclaimed in unison. The Golden Silver Elders had been very arrogant in the Black-Corner Region for the past two years, and Canaan Academy also had a headache because of them.
Elder Xu, who had recently been promoted to Dou Zong, went to the Black-Corner Region to kill the Golden Silver Elders, but the Golden Silver Elders escaped, making their reputation soar.
The Golden Silver Elders earned the reputation of being able to rival a Dou Zong when working together.
"Killed them. Their methods were quite good, but as long as you kill one of them, the other becomes much easier to deal with." Xiao Li said calmly.
"This..." Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang were speechless. They didn't know how to express themselves.
"Alright, my purpose for coming this time is to find the Dean. Vice Dean, please take me to see the Dean." Xiao Li stated his purpose for this visit.
"Okay! Understood."
...Dean's office,
Hu Gan led Xiao Li to the Dean's office. Mang Tianchi's Dean's office was very simple, not like a place where a Dou Zun expert would live.
"Dean, Elder Bai told me you wanted to see me. Is there something?" Xiao Li inquired.
Mang Tianchi looked at Xiao Li and said with a smile: "Very good, very good. After a few years, you've reached five-star Dou Huang. Last year, Bai Lie came back and told me you had become a Dou Huang.
A year has passed, and you've advanced four stars. Your Soul Power has also reached the Peak of the Mortal Realm. Very good, very good. You are indeed suited to make a name for yourself there."
"What name?" Xiao Li asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, the Alchemy Convention!"
