The Thousand Sails Space Zone was indeed the place where dreams began.
It was because this place was the base camp of the free Exo Societies. Many Exo Societies would bring the empty-handed but ambitious young men who lived in a corner of the sea of stars back to this place when they traveled in space.
In the Thousand Sails Space Zone, the young people could be hired to work in the Exo Societies while they trained themselves.
When they felt that they were qualified, they could also take part in the competitions and the entrance tests of the major sects in the Thousand Sails Space Zone. Once they passed the tests, they would become the official disciples of the Cultivation sects.
Other than that, a lot of bounty missions would be issued in the Thousand Sails Space Zone, too.
Those who were truly skilled would never have to worry about their future in the Thousand Sails Space Zone. The best of them could even use the Thousand Sails Space Zone as a springboard to march to Heavenly Saints City, the holy land of Cultivation in the Flying Star Sector!
It was the path that Li Yao would walk on.
After the party was over, he returned to his cabin alone and connected to the Spiritual Nexus of the Thousand Sails Space Zone through his crystal processor.
Lei Dalu had introduced the place to him a long time ago. There was a virtual square named 'Dream Square' on the Spiritual Nexus of the Thousand Sails Space Zone. A lot of the latest information was gathered there, including transfers to employment, entrance tests, and registration for competitions.
"Shua!"
Li Yao activated the Half-Step Grand Illusionary Land mode and entered the Dream Square. He immediately found himself in a modern metropolis that was crowded with people. As far as his eyes could reach, almost a hundred thousand people were online at the same time. The virtual world was filled with jubilation.
By scanning the information streams, he could log into the Dream Square, too, and the efficiency of reading the information was much higher.
However, the travelers had been drifting alone in the cold, dark universe for a long time. They were faced with twisted pathways all day long. The cramped cabins and hundreds of familiar faces were everywhere.
Gathering with more than a hundred thousand people and feeling that they were still alive in the crowd was a psychological necessity. It was also the best consolation after a long, lonely journey.
Li Yao took a deep breath and looked around. Around the square stood dozens of tall and majestic buildings, on which signboards were painted with mystic light. They were respectively the transfer market, the talent market, the competition information exchange center, the registration office, the registration office for the entrance tests of the major sects, and various institutions such as legitimate universities, fancy universities, training classes, continuing education centers for cultivators, and so on.
Li Yao was dazzled by the sight. Just as he was at a loss of what to do, a beam of green light suddenly shot over from a distance. A short, shifty-eyed man was condensed next to him. Looking at the clothes on his body and the badge on his chest, the man's eyes suddenly shone. He smiled and said, "Fellow Cultivator, are you from the Great Horn Exo Society?"
When Li Yao entered Dream Square, he did not change his appearance. He was still dressed like he did in the real world. He wore a golden ox horn emblem on his chest, so he was recognized at a glance.
Without waiting for Li Yao to answer. The short man quickly said, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hao Lingtong. I am a disciple of the Falcon Hunting Sect. As for my profession, hahahaha. I'm a headhunter, and my job is to find suitable sects for outstanding talents such as myself. Of course, I have the needs of almost a hundred Cultivation sects in my pocket, too. They are all hungry for talents. No, they are thirsty for talents. As long as there is a sect that you are interested in, I will definitely get the best price for you! "
Headhunter?
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He smiled and said, "You don't even know who I am, and how do you know that I am an 'outstanding talent'?"
Hao Lingtong rolled his eyes and said, "Although I don't know your name yet, the Great Horn Exo Society has been quite famous recently. You crossed more than ten space zones, slayed the space pirates of Storm Prison, barged into the Dim Flame Belt, and were said to have encountered a True Fusion and a space swirl. Yet, you managed to escape from all of them. What a soul-stirring miracle it is!
"Right now, the entire Thousand Sails Space Zone, if not the entire world of Cultivators, has heard your name! There are quite a number of media outlets lining up to interview you all! "
"A member of the Great Horn Exo Society such as yourself has been through so many hardships. Leaving your Cultivation aside, you must be very experienced. Many Cultivation sects are in need of veterans such as yourself!
"Don't be in a hurry to turn me down. No matter why you are here in the Dream Square, you won't lose anything if you spend half a minute listening to my introduction. Look. Here, the Twin Poles Island is recruiting elites from various fields, from saber arts tutors, to image planners of sects, to finance managers. Even if you are a chef of the Great Horn Exo Society, I, Hao Lingtong, can sell you at a sky-high price!
"Here, the Red Mist Sect has recently excavated a new mining planet and established a branch on it. A new sailing route has been established and is recruiting escorts for the sailing route. Not to mention the salary, as long as you are hired, you will be able to practice 70% of the classics and Cultivation arts of the Red Mist Sect freely. It is very suitable for you, fellow Cultivator!"
Hao Lingtong waved his hands. Quite a few virtual light beams appeared around him, from which countless streams of information were pouring in. He began his introduction while his saliva was spluttering.
A fat, middle-aged female Cultivator whose arm was emitting red mystic rays drifted close and glared at him. "Hey, hey, hey. Hao Lingtong, why are you here again? Don't you know that private light beams are not allowed in the square? So many people are coming and going. What if you block our way? "
"Sorry, sorry, Sister Sun. I was too excited to talk to an expert. I'll turn it off right now. I'll turn it off right now!"
Hao Lingtong hurried to shrink the light beam to the size of his palm. He drew close to Li Yao's nose and said in embarrassment, "Fellow Cultivator, what do you think?"
Li Yao was amused. He had no prejudice against headhunters, but this Hao Lingtong did not look like a proper headhunter at all. He estimated that he was just a middleman who collected information for other people so that he could make money from both sides.
However, such a person should be a native of the Thousand Sails Space Zone who was well-informed. Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll pay you five hundred Flying Star Coins for ten minutes of your time. You will introduce some information to me. If you exceed the time limit, I'll charge you a hundred Flying Star Coins per minute."
Hao Lingtong blinked. "Deal!"
The two of them came to the edge of the Square of Dreams and found a quiet place. Li Yao pondered for a long time and said, "I'm a refiner who has completed most of the basic training. Right now, I want to get in touch with the most cutting-edge theories and techniques in the world of Cultivators, preferably practical ones, so that I can communicate with other experts and improve my capability quickly. The location should be Heavenly Saints City. Is there such a place? "
Hao Lingtong tapped on the light beam quickly. A stream of information immediately popped up. "Yes. Of course. The Thousand Sails Space Zone has everything!
"When it comes to the cutting-edge theories and techniques in the world of Cultivators... Of course, I'm talking about Flying Star University and Heavenly Saints Institute. Fellow Cultivator, you have completed the basic training, and you seem to be more than twenty years old, right? If you don't want to apply for a university, you can consider applying to the research institutes of the two universities as a postgraduate student of one of the mentors!
"The two supreme universities are the quintessence of our cultivation world. Many of their professors are Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. You can get in touch with the cutting-edge theories, just like the 'true disciples' of the ancient Cultivators.
"However, what's your degree, fellow Cultivator?"
Li Yao coughed and replied expressionlessly, "I'm self-taught."
"Self-taught? Well, that's not really a big deal. In the world of Cultivators, it's mostly because of certain fortuitous encounters. Many professors who are self-taught when they recruit postgraduate students. But they don't mind that at all! Take a look. This is the list of professors who are related to refining in the two highest universities. Their recruitment information is at the bottom. "
Li Yao glanced quickly and discovered that most of the professors' avatars were gray. They were recruiting postgraduate students. Both of them had certain academic requirements.
Those who didn't have academic requirements tended to be less knowledgeable, and their fields of study were often neglected, too.
Although there were a lot of Cultivators who had a lot of fortuitous encounters, such people … Because they had never received formal education, they were often not rigorous in their training style.
For such people, most experts suggested that they go to a university for two to three years of formal education. If they were geniuses, they would stand out very soon.
Li Yao naturally knew the importance of formal education, but he was in a hurry. He didn't want to waste a few more years on the fundamental subjects in the university.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, yes. Other than the two highest universities, there are many other schools and training institutions that can provide opportunities for further training. Other than that, the six major sects in Heavenly Saints City have public entrance tests, too. As long as you join the six major sects, you will be able to get in touch with the cutting-edge theories of Cultivators! And these … "
Li Yao glanced through them one by one, but he was not satisfied with any of them.
Other than the two highest universities, the other schools were not enough for him to waste his time. Also, if he joined the six major sects, he would be bogged down by the complicated affairs of the sects. Besides, the six major sects were not known for their refining. They had too many departments and too many employees. It would take him a year and a half to sort everything out.
"What's this?"
Li Yao suddenly raised his eyebrow and enlarged a line of information.
It was a message about a competition. A competition named 'Skyhill Sword Seminar' would be held in a world fragment named 'Skyhill Domain' in a month's time.
What interested Li Yao was that the competition was co-organized by the Iron School, the Silver Heart School, and the Red Line School, the three major Crystal Suit centers of the Flying Star Sector!
Li Yao knew that, in terms of strength, the six major sects were the most powerful in the Flying Star Sector.
But in terms of the expertise of the Crystal Suit, the three major centers were definitely the best.
The three major Crystal Suit centers had gathered the best refiners of the Flying Star Sector. They were also deeply cooperating with the two highest universities and had almost monopolized the production of all the classic Crystal Suit of the Flying Star Sector.
Even the six major sects and the five major arenas outsourced a lot of Crystal Suit work to the three major centers!
"The Skyhill Sword Seminar is an annual event in the Thousand Sails Space Zone," Hao Lingtong said. "It is jointly organized by the three major Crystal Suit centers for young refiners below the age of forty.
"Since it is named 'Sword Seminar', the topic of the competition is the refinement of melee magical equipment such as sabers and swords!
"Although only young refiners are allowed to participate in the competition, the top ten refiners every year will be appreciated by the three major Crystal Suit centers and work for them. Those who make it to the top three will even be directly assigned to the core projects of the three major centers where they will work together with the most influential refiners in the circle of refiners!
"Therefore, countless young refiners flock to the three major centers every year. They are all stars in the universe, and their skills are all very high!"
