My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 1207 - 620: The Interviewee from Afar (4K)

Tianyuan Academy offered various classes and recruited students from all over Tai Xuan, planning to cultivate legendary figures one by one. This was a contribution to Tai Xuan.

Externally, they openly recruited instructors and various specialized mentors, and this was more for Mu Yuan's own purposes.

It wasn't that Tianyuan Academy lacked teaching mentors.

They might not lack instructors, but when it came to high-level talents in specialized technical fields, there weren't many in Tianyuan City. People like Master Chef and Master Li, these top talents, each had their own heavy responsibilities. At most they could take on some part-time teaching duties at the academy, but their main focus wouldn't shift here.

However, when Tianyuan Academy was established, it had received support from the Alliance, which included a group of core teaching forces. Of course, the salaries of the mentor team had to be paid by the academy itself. This was still rare support. High-level talents have always been scarce, needed everywhere. Without the support of the Alliance, it would have been impossible for the major City Lords to establish a fully-fledged Advanced Cultivation Academy.

Mu Yuan chose to recruit the rarer talents in certain specialized fields for himself.

In addition, Tianyuan City had also cooperated with top territories such as Han Yue City, Liushi City, Qingxin City, and so on, inviting some of their high-level talents to serve at Tianyuan Academy for a period.

Even towards those well-known but not particularly important master figures within the Tai Xuan Alliance, Lord Shepherd had personally sent out invitations.

He didn't need instructors, and he didn't greatly need or had already secured cooperation with high-level technical mentors. From the very beginning, he didn't expect to recruit any high-level talents from within the Taixuan Realm.

The strong and masters within the Taixuan Realm, after all, each had their own affiliations. Either they were the rulers of their own territories and wouldn't likely come to serve at Tianyuan Academy, or they would at most occasionally take part-time jobs, giving a few public lectures.

"But the world outside of Tai Xuan is vast, very vast."

Mu Yuan murmured.

Outside of Tai Xuan, there were established native powers such as the Holy Griffon Empire, Star Luo Holy Palace, and the Federation of All Nations;

There were also the emerging Six Great Nations like the Yongxing Empire and the Shen Mu Dynasty.

Mu Yuan's target wasn't the strong from these Great Nation-level forces or even from the Great Powers or medium forces.

Instead...

It was the wild, solitary, unaffiliated strongmen!

"When I was still a Greenhand, the forums would occasionally explode with rumors that some Lord had recruited a powerful Wild Hero, who from then on soared to the skies, overtook competitors at the turn, reaching the pinnacle of life."

Such recruitable Wild Heroes, in terms of number in the wild, were neither many nor few.

However,

For Legendary Lords at that station, thinking of recruiting a Wild Hero to overtake at the turn had become an extremely difficult affair.

Not for any particular reason, but wild strongmen who could cultivate to the Legendary Realm on their own strength had all experienced countless trials and tribulations. Moreover, they already possessed the ability to freely survive in the wild and didn't need to seek the shelter of a territory.

Naturally, it is incredibly hard to recruit such strongmen to pledge loyalty to oneself.

Just like with Xie Yi.

Xie Yi had wandered the Eternal World for many years, forming his own small team. After he settled temporarily at Iron Stone Mountain, numerous powerful Lords came upon hearing the news, each offering a generous price; Xie Yi remained indifferent.

Was it that the prices offered by these Lords weren't high enough?

Perhaps that was a minor factor, but a bigger reason was that such Legendary Strongmen had long grown accustomed to freely roaming the wilderness, or due to certain experiences in life, had long since become disenchanted with settling in any territory. They were nearly impossible to pledge loyalty to any Lord.

Originally, Mu Yuan had made no special effort to recruit Xie Yi.

Back then, it was already difficult enough to recruit Xie Yi, who was merely at the early stages of the Legendary Realm. And now, Lord Shepherd's target was at least those at the Divine Soul Realm, and top talents with certain specializations.

"Of course, such strongmen wouldn't pledge loyalty to any Lord."

"But if it was about temporarily taking up an instructor or mentor position at a Cultivation Academy, that's a different story."

The former is about loyalty and following.

It means aligning with a faction, choosing a future, and being ready to go through fire and water for it.

The latter, however, was merely a simple contract, an employment relationship.

Top wild strongmen wouldn't pledge loyalty to any Lord, but they might work for a Lord for a year or half, in exchange for some cultivation resources.

This was Lord Shepherd's target.

With these strongmen available, should the need arise, he would have one great super trump card that could be fully utilized.

This would be his trump card against the red moon calamity, the general assault on Dragon Sleep Valley.

Between the major old countries and the seven new countries in the Eternal World, were there such unaffiliated, wild strongmen? Of course there were.

These strongmen would sometimes be active in certain countries, regions, or they might live incognito in some city of a nation, only revealing themselves and their identity when disaster struck and they were forced to act.

Looking across the entire Eternal World, such strongmen were not few in number.

However, whether they could be attracted by Tianyuan Academy, or how long it would take to attract them, Mu Yuan was not certain.

In terms of visibility, Tianyuan Academy was not prominent worldwide.

It was theoretically very difficult, almost impossible, or would require a long time to attract the world's strongmen with just a small academy.

His reliance was on...

Mu Yuan looked up at the sky.

Above Tianyuan City, there were two strands of national fortune visible only to him, like two golden Divine Dragons soaring, protecting the tens of thousands of citizens of Tianyuan City.
