Li Yao fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until noon the next day. His cheeks were still sore, and even his burps were filled with the smell of fennel. He could not help but have a lingering fear of the feast last night.
He did not drink much. Although the Iron Plateau natives seemed to be the type who could drink a lot, they were all qi-trainers, and they would not be drunk even if they drank a thousand cups. What was the point of drinking as if they were drinking cold water?
Therefore, on Iron Plateau, there was another way for the qi-trainers to express their passion. It was not drinking, but meat.
The qi-trainers of Iron Plateau, in their traditional way, measured their bravery by their appetite. The greater the appetite of the qi-trainers, the better control over their body they would have, and the stronger they would be!
Li Yao, as the new best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, was naturally the main target of everybody's attention in the feast. Not only did the chiefs and elders of the other five tribes bring the strongest men of their tribes to offer him meat, many people of the Furious Bears Tribe had also come to fight each other with lamb chops and beef legs.
Li Yao was not a man who liked crowds. However, he was quite embarrassed to receive so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the five tribes.
The trip to Iron Plateau had been worthwhile. At first, he had looted the warehouse of trophies from the battle of the apocalypse. Then, Sparkle had explored the underground of Iron Plateau and found a lot of relics from five thousand years ago, from which a lot of debris of magical equipment had been retrieved.
Right now, the five tribes had offered their most precious treasures that had been kept for years.
By Li Yao's preliminary calculation, the resources were more than enough to establish a small sect.
Although they were sincerely thanking him for saving their lives, Li Yao still felt a bit guilty. So, what was there to say? He simply opened his arms and started eating!
Li Yao activated 'The Whale Swallowing' to the maximum and stuffed himself with the most extravagant meal of his life. At first, he was counting how many lamb legs he had eaten, but when he choked the chief of the Giant Axe Tribe, he was already drunk. Therefore, he decided to indulge himself in the feast.
Li Yao rubbed his belly and walked out of the room, only to find Xiong Wuji and Sha Yulan waiting for him outside.
He did not intend to stay on Iron Plateau for long. He had been staying at Xiong Wuji's place for the time being.
Li Yao grabbed the tea on the table and drained it in one gulp. He frowned slightly and said, "Chief Xiong, please explain. You should know. Is everyone going to give me such a big pillar? "
"Of course I know, but what can I say?"
Xiong Wuji opened his hands and declared confidently, "You were the one who exposed the scheme of the Temple of Immortals, and you killed Yan Xibei in front of everybody! Yan Xibei's toughness was witnessed by all the qi-trainers at that time. Even he was no match for you! Who else but you are the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau? "
"Iron Plateau natives do not eat their words. You ungrateful bastard. Your contribution in this matter cannot be overestimated. Now, we are simply giving you a small gift to express our gratitude. Can I stop you? "
Li Yao still felt that his teeth were aching. He said, "It does make sense. However, when Chief Xiong just became the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau years ago, did somebody beat you, too? Why would they give you such a huge pillar of 'Invincible Iron Plateau'? "
"That was then, and this is now," Xiong Wuji said solemnly.
Xiong Wuji said solemnly, "You know the situation better than I do. We lost a lot of elites in the battle of the apocalypse, and we suffered even greater losses in the riot of Yan Xibei. There is no telling whether or not the Temple of Immortals has other plans. Chances are that the remnants of the Blood Stripe Virus are lurking deep inside the Dark Continent!
"Large-scale communication with the space residents has both advantages and disadvantages. Whether it is good or bad, it will be a great shock to Iron Plateau in many aspects!
"Right now, everybody of the six tribes of Iron Plateau is in a panic. They don't know what will happen in the future!
"At a time like this, of course, a hero like you has to be publicized with great fanfare to calm the hearts of the people!"
Li Yao was dazed for a long time. Then he said, "Chief Xiong does have a point. However, how am I going to get away when you put such a huge burden on me all of a sudden? You are not asking me to stay and protect Iron Plateau with the title of 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau', are you? I certainly can't do that! Besides, the problem of my identity hasn't been resolved yet! "
Xiong Wuji and Sha Yulan looked at each other and smiled. He said, "Rest assured. I've already made up my mind. It will definitely be the best of both worlds!"
Sha Yulan opened a light beam from her mini crystal processor and showed Li Yao a proposal.
After the large-scale communication between the two parties was launched, Sha Yulan, a special person who had lived in space and on Iron Plateau for decades, was appointed as a member of the 'Association of Binary Communication', which had been established recently.
Xiong Wuji explained, "Right now, some of the basic trade cooperation has entered the planning phase.
"For example, there are actually a lot of mother lodes on Iron Plateau that are not of a high quality. It is impossible for the Iron Plateau natives to develop them with the technology of space residents, but they can be refined with the technology of space residents.
"In the meantime, Iron Plateau is vast and sparsely populated. As long as there are enough resources and defense forces, it is a great place for large-scale grazing and agricultural production. For many space towns that have limited space, Iron Plateau can be an excellent base for the production of animals and plants. The production will change the terrain of Iron Plateau without anybody noticing, too, and the vitality of Iron Plateau will be restored to five thousand years ago.
"All in all, the trade of resources is easy to deal with, but the cultural communication between the two parties is rather difficult.
"The biggest problem in front of us is that the space residents do not know the Iron Plateau natives. They always think that the Iron Plateau natives are barbarians who drink raw meat and drink blood. The best they can do is to be simple-minded barbarians with more brawn than brains.
"The Iron Plateau natives, on the other hand, consider space residents to be cunning, cowardly rats who bully the weak and fear the strong.
"The estrangement of thousands of years cannot be changed overnight. Besides, there is still the competition of orthodoxy between us and the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. It is impossible for us to communicate directly.
"Therefore, the chiefs and elders of the six tribes and the leadership of the two supreme colleges of Heavenly Saints City have discussed for a long time and decided to solve the problem from the academic world.
"More specifically, we are planning to launch large-scale study abroad and exchange visits between scholars from both parties. First of all, a hundred young people will be sent to study in the two supreme colleges of Heavenly Saints City.
"On one hand, they will learn the advanced techniques of space residents. On the other hand, they will get to know the society and culture of space residents better. More importantly, the culture of Iron Plateau will be disseminated so that space residents will see with their own eyes that we are not primitive barbarians and that muscles are not the only things that are developed.
"The students of the two supreme colleges will be the pillars of the world of Cultivators in the future. If they have a few students from Iron Plateau, it will certainly be beneficial for the communication between the two parties in the future!"
"Wait a moment!"
Li Yao raised his hands. He finally understood what was going on. "Chief Xiong, you are not asking me to join the hundred students as a foreign exchange student, are you? I'm sorry, but I certainly won't go. "
Are you kidding me? Leaving aside the path of the superlative height of the Building Foundation Stage that he had found on his own, even if he was at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, he was still one of the rarest Cultivators in the world of Cultivators!
The backbone of many sects, the experienced technicians in the Crystal Suit Center, the lecturers and even the associate professors in the universities, were only at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage.
Asking him to study from the beginning as a foreign exchange student like a rookie?
How could he waste his time?
"Of course not!"
Xiong Wuji replied resolutely. "You are now the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau and the representative of the highest combat ability of Iron Plateau. If you are asked to be a foreign exchange student, wouldn't it mean that Iron Plateau is inferior to other people? How is that possible?
"What I mean is, are you interested in communicating, lecturing, and researching in the two highest academies in Heavenly Saints City as a visiting scholar on behalf of Iron Plateau?"
Li Yao was dazed. "Visiting scholar?"
Xiong Wuji smiled. "Yes. We have reached an agreement with Flying Star University and Heavenly Saints Institute. We will send at least ten visiting scholars to Heavenly Saints City in the next five years.
"The visiting scholars are all the top experts who have been famous on Iron Plateau for a long time. Their expertise and status are naturally different from that of the common foreign exchange students.
"After visiting the two supreme colleges, the visiting scholars can choose their own projects according to their interests and specialties and discuss and cooperate with the most talented Cultivators in the world of Cultivators.
"You can also teach your own courses based on your specialties.
"Right now, faced with the threat of the Temple of Immortals, both parties are quite sincere. Techniques will be exchanged for techniques. The two supreme colleges will provide the best treatment for our visiting scholars. The doors of all the research projects will be open. As long as you are strong enough, you are welcome to study all the projects, and all the resources will be available to you."
"Oh?"
Li Yao thought of something. His lips gradually curled.
If the two major universities that represented the highest level of the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector were willing to open all their resources and projects to him, it would be much better to be a visiting scholar than to build a crystal suit in the three main crystal suit centers.
After all, a lot of cutting-edge theories, advanced test facilities, and the most distinguished talents were gathered in the two supreme colleges.
Even the specialists of the three Crystal Suit Centers were very likely to be professors or visiting professors of the two colleges.
"I've thought for a long time. It is the best choice for both you and Iron Plateau," Xiong Wuji said.
"Since the moment you killed Yan Xibei, you were destined to be the ultimate expert worshipped by all the Iron Plateau natives. How can you disappear without a sound? How am I going to explain it to all the Iron Plateau natives if you simply run away? "
"But the identity of a visiting scholar will give you a perfect reason to leave Iron Plateau and go to Heavenly Saints City.
"Several years later, when the situation on Iron Plateau is stabilized, the other five tribes will have new experts. Naturally, they won't pay much attention to you.
"By then, you can be the permanent ambassador of Iron Plateau in Heavenly Saints City and never return to Iron Plateau. It won't be strange, will it?
"On the other hand, even if you are a super refiner whose hands can reach supersonic speed, Li Yao, I'm afraid that you will not be given abundant resources. Even if you go to the three Crystal Suit Centers, you will only be an Armadominus at best.
"If you represent the entire Iron Plateau, the situation will naturally be different, won't it?"
