Li Yao was greatly interested.
Although he had distinguished himself in the Skyhill Sword Seminar, he was still a junior in the entire world of Cultivators. Even if he were to join the three main crystal suit centers as Li Yao, he would still have to start from the secondary projects and gain experience. There was no telling how much time he would waste if he kept going back and forth.
Being on Iron Plateau would certainly shorten the time. Chances were that he would get in touch with some of the more advanced projects in advance.
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao frowned and said, "What about my identity? Nobody is an idiot. Maybe a lot of people are already thinking that Bai Kaixin, the deputy captain of the Great Horn Exo Society, has been having dinner with me all the time. Chances are that he's already suspicious of me."
Xiong Wuji smiled casually. "Don't you understand? If you were a Mr. Nobody, naturally, many people would be suspicious of your identity. But right now, you are the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau with thousands of qi-trainers behind your back. Who would suspect you, would dare to, and would be willing to suspect you unless they had ill intentions?
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. After thinking carefully for a moment, he made up his mind and nodded quickly. "Alright. I will go to Heavenly Saints City as the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau and work as a visiting scholar!"
Xiong Wuji smiled. "This is the first time that Iron Plateau natives have been exposed to the space residents in the past five thousand years. Your every move will influence the space residents' perception of Iron Plateau natives. To be honest, I was rather worried that someone else would go there. If something went wrong, the entire Iron Plateau would be disgraced. You have done us a great favor by volunteering to take the lead.
"But remember. When you arrive at Heavenly Saints City, you will certainly run into a lot of people from the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. Many of them will not forget the competition of rightfulness. Chances are that they will provoke you. This is not the right time — "
"I understand."
Li Yao interrupted him. "I am not a man who likes to stir up trouble. The big picture is more important than anything else. I will hold myself back and not have conflicts with other people easily."
"Who said that?"
Xiong Wuji raised his eyebrow and said, "What I mean is. If someone provokes you, you must fight back brutally. Let those idiots know what an Iron Plateau native is like! "
"Well …"
"By the way, there's one more thing. Did you really take Ah Yan as your disciple?"
"Of course."
Li Yao said frankly. "He is very similar to me ten years ago. Of course, his aptitude is much better than mine. I sincerely accept him as my disciple."
"However, since there is a plan to study abroad, I suggest that Wu Mayan study in Heavenly Saint City as well. He can broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge so that he can go further on the path of cultivation."
"He's two months away from turning fourteen, but he's already in the sixteenth layer of Qi Condensation. In my opinion, both Flying Star University and Heavenly Saint Institute will have such a treasure. I won't refuse. "
Xiong Wuji smiled. "Alright, that's what I want to talk to you about. I also want Ah Yan to study in Heaven Divine City, but you're his Master, so of course I have to listen to your opinion. You don't have any objections. That's great! "
"However, your and Ah Yan's identities are rather special. He said that when he kowtowed to you by the pond that day, it was considered an apprenticeship? How can that be?! "
"You are now the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. Recruiting a disciple is a big deal. You can't be so hasty.
"How about this? I'll take care of everything. Before you set off, please invite the experts of the six tribes of Iron Plateau and the Cultivators on Iron Plateau to attend the ceremony. He will formally acknowledge you as his Master in public so that the Cultivators will understand your prestige on Iron Plateau."
Li Yao was about to turn down the offer, but he realized that Xiong Wuji was helping him to make a name for himself. It would be beneficial for his future development.
Warmth flowed out of his heart. Li Yao nodded with a smile. "Alright. I'll count on Chief Xiong to make the decision!"
…
Half a month later, in Flying Star University in Heavenly Saints City …
Flying Star University occupied the No. 3 orbital living circle, which was the closest to the central district of Heavenly Saints City. There were natural scenic spots in the living circle that simulated mountains, rivers, broken bridges, and snow. There was also a business district where skyscrapers were everywhere. Of course, laboratories and teaching buildings were everywhere, too.
The tubes of spiritual energy on the cabin wall were releasing spiritual energy into the air incessantly, turning the No. 3 orbital living circle into a natural paradise with abundant spiritual energy for the students and scholars of Flying Star University to train themselves.
At this moment, in the natural area of Flying Star University, next to a lake that simulated the chilly spring, an old man wearing a raincoat was fishing. His fishing rod was shivering slightly, and the old man seemed to be asleep, but he was quite at ease.
However, the old man's mood was disrupted by the vibration of his mini crystal processor. After reading the files on the light beam, the old man's face immediately turned darker than the bottom of a pot.
"What nonsense!"
The old man threw his fishing rod away and said gloomily, "President Shang, whose idea was it? Asking the so-called best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau to work as a visiting scholar in the Refining Department of Flying Star University? What kind of place do you think the Refining Department is? "
The old man's name was Wei Wenyao. He was one of the best masters of refining in the Flying Star Sector and the dean of the Refining Department of Flying Star University. He enjoyed a high prestige in the circle of refiners and was the real authority.
President Shang, on the other hand, was the vice president in charge of administration and human resources. He was not very famous in the academic world, nor did he have any outstanding projects. He was almost forty years younger than Wei Wenyao, too.
Wei Wenyao, such a well-respected academic authority, did not think much of him at all. He berated him without any hesitation, "President Shang, Flying Star University is not one of those random universities where any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can work as a visiting scholar or a visiting professor!
"According to the rules in the past, to be a visiting professor of Flying Star University, one must be a professor in one of the other 122 universities of the Flying Star Sector. Even if one is a visiting scholar, one must at least be a real associate professor!
"Right now, you want a barbarian to be a visiting scholar of the Refining Department, participate in our research, and teach a class just because of a few words? Are you kidding me? "
President Shang hurried to smile and said, "Dean Wei, don't be hasty. You know that the world of Cultivators is in deep communication with Iron Plateau. You were very supportive of it and even announced in public that you would recruit a few foreign students from Iron Plateau, right?"
"Cut the crap!"
Wei Wenyao glared at him. "Students are students, and scholars are scholars. When foreign students come to my school, even if they can't learn anything, I can always open a class for them and teach them the basic knowledge of refining. It will be a way to promote the communication between the two parties. But when visiting scholars come to my school, they will have to give lectures and participate in our projects. Not only will they mislead the students, they will also be careless and ignorant. What if they delay the progress of the projects?
"Also, I find it strange. Since the guy you are talking about is the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, he should be welcomed by the Combat Department or even the Battlesuit Department. Why is he causing trouble for the Refining Department?"
President Shang replied with a bitter face, "We thought so, too, at first. We thought that since he was the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, even if the Cultivation level of Iron Plateau was lower than that of the world of Cultivators, he must have unique skills! Therefore, we agreed without hesitation and welcomed him to give lectures in the Combat Department, participate in a few projects of the Combat Department, and develop brand-new techniques together with our battle-type Cultivators.
"But out of our expectation, the guy said that it was not a problem for him to give lectures in the Combat Department. However, he was also very interested in the arts of refining and hoped to exchange ideas with the best refiners of the Flying Star Sector so that they could study the cutting-edge theories of refining together …"
"Exchange ideas?"
Wei Wenyao was so angry that he was laughing. "President Shang, not that I despise the Iron Plateau natives, and I know that they are not primitive barbarians. However … Forget it. Tell me about the background of the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau first. Does he have any experience in refining?"
President Shang coughed and said, "Iron Plateau is still relatively closed to us. We don't have a good information network, either. Now that we are cooperating with each other, it is impossible for us to send someone to investigate Iron Plateau. Therefore, we only have the official files that the Iron Plateau natives gave us.
"According to the introduction of the Iron Plateau natives, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau is a barbarian born in the Dark Continent …"
"Wait a moment!"
Wei Wenyao was dumbfounded. "I just said that they are not primitive barbarians. Good heavens. You really brought me a barbarian!"
"Just listen to my explanation first!"
President Shang felt that it was too absurd, too, but since he was in charge of such matters, he could only grit his teeth and say, "The best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau has a rather legendary background. It is said that, although he was born a barbarian, he was raised by a mysterious space resident, who was not only an expert but also a marvelous refiner. Therefore, the best warrior knows a thing or two about refining, too."
"Bullsh * t."
Wei Wenyao said coldly, "Refining is a highly professional, comprehensive subject that involves hundreds of courses and requires the assistance of countless precise magical equipment. Only after systematic, long-term training can it be possible to raise a qualified refiner.
"A mysterious expert who lived in seclusion in a secluded forest, a paradise, raised an expert of refining after only a few years of training? You must be telling a story! "
President Shang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "I've seen the armor refined by the best warrior. It seems to be quite delicate."
Wei Wenyao sniffed and said, "Over the past few days, I've seen a lot of True Qi armor and True Qi sabers and swords made by the Iron Plateau natives. I can't say that they have no merit, but they are quite primitive and crude in terms of structure and materials.
"Maybe, a refiner from space was forced to land on Iron Plateau years ago and taught the barbarian some rudimentary arts of refining, which made him stand out on Iron Plateau like a crane among a flock of chickens!
