The middle-aged man chuckled, saying, "President Yang, you indeed have an impressive collection of the Yin and Yang Magic Technique Scrolls. It appears that I won't need to explain much."
A bright light flashed in Yang Bingtian's eyes. "Although it can't be used, its research value is extremely high. At least up to now, no team in our Yin-Yang Magic World has succeeded in using a combination magic skill composed of five types of Magic Powers."
The middle-aged man said, "In fact, it has some value. In critical times, it can save lives."
Yang Bingtian laughed, "Would you dare use it? This thing makes something called the All-round Indeterminate Teleportation Scroll. No one knows where it will take them. Unless faced with a life-or-death situation, likely this risky move can be made. Being transported away isn't a big deal, but what if you were transported to high altitude and fell to your death, or transported to deep underground and suffocated? Isn't that suicide? However, rest assured, I am very interested in this. How much does it cost?"
The middle-aged man lifted a finger, "One thousand Gold Coins."
"One thousand Gold Coins?" Yang Bingtian was stunned, "What is the difference between that and giving it away for free? I'm not the only one who collects Yin and Yang Magic Technique Scrolls. This object is a rare antique. Saying it has only a thousand years of history is just the lowest estimate. If taken to an auction, it would normally bring in one hundred thousand Gold Coins."
The middle-aged man smiled, "That is what the guild commanded. Moreover, you are also a member of the guild, why should we give it to anyone else for a low price? The guild president said, just one thousand Gold Coins. Give that amount and it's yours."
An idea crossed Yang Bingtian's mind, and he helplessly shook his head, "That old man gave you this irresistible item to deliver huh! Tell me, what does he want me to do?"
The middle-aged man stepped closer to Yang Bingtian and murmured a few words in his ear. After hearing his words, Yang Bingtian responded sourly, "I knew it was this matter. Alright, you go tell him, I will consider it. However, I don't think it would be possible for the next few years. Let's postpone it."
The middle-aged man said, "The president said that this is also an honor for our Southern Fire Empire Yin and Yang Mage Guild. Please consider it carefully."
Yang Bingtian nodded pensively.
Having achieved his goal, the middle-aged man respectfully said, "Then, I will take my leave."
Yang Bingtian casually placed the scroll on the table and gestured for him to go, "Go ahead, I'll send you off."
The middle-aged man said, "No need to trouble yourself. Aren't you going to put away this scroll?"
Yang Bingtian chuckled, "You are here on behalf of the guild, it's only right for me to send you off. I plan to study this scroll in detail when I get back. Having acquired such an item, it requires some study. Nobody will come here. As for the one thousand Gold Coins, let the president deduct it from my guild benefits. I haven't taken my guild benefits for a while now."
The middle-aged man just smiled and said nothing more. He left with Yang Bingtian accompanying him.
No long after they went out, the door to Yang Bingtian's office opened with a rhythmic knock, "President Yang, are you there?" A head popped in from outside.
The one who looked in was none other than Ji Dong who had already become a Level 1 apprentice of Bing and Ding dual fire. Ever since he returned from Teacher Xia Tian, Ji Dong had been constantly excited. After returning to his room and taking a shower, he wanted to immediately start feeling the existence of Bing Fire Magic Power and Ding Fire Magic Power. However, because he had used up a lot of time absorbing the two Crystal Crowns earlier, it was already late afternoon. Other students had already returned to their dormitories or gone to dinner. The massive physical exertion made him feel hungry, but thinking of the benefits the two Crystal Crowns brought him, he decided to first prepare today's drink for Yang Bingtian before going to eat. So, he started mixing a drink after taking a shower.
The saying goes, "Don't forget those who have helped you." Due to the two precious Crystal Crowns Yang Bingtian gave him, Ji Dong had a good impression of him. Coupled with the breakthrough in his physical strength today and the modifications the Dual-Element Magic Power made to his body, his physical strength had significantly improved. Therefore, the drink he prepared today could be said to be the peak of his current physical state.
Unexpectedly, Yang Bingtian did not come to him when it was time for a drink. How could Ji Dong know it was because Yang Bingtian had a guest come over?
They lived on the same floor, just separated by one room, so naturally he took the drink and came over. Yang Bingtian himself had been accustomed to living alone on the top floor, and he had forgotten about Ji Dong, the newly arrived bartender.
Ji Dong knocked on Yang Bingtian's door. The door was not locked, and although his knock was light, it still opened. He glanced in and saw that Yang Bingtian was not in the outer room, so he just walked in.
"President Yang, are you here?" Ji Dong carefully held the prepared drink in his left hand. This drink was at least 30-40% his previous life's peak standard.
It was a cup of golden-red wine. The rich scent of fruit lingered at the rim of the glass, but there was not a hint of alcohol. The meticulousness in which Ji Dong held the wine cup indicated its rarity. This was not only about the ingredients, but also the technique.
After Ji Dong called out a couple of times and did not hear any response, he was somewhat puzzled, "President Yang is an old wine lover. Could he have forgotten it's already drinking time? Well, I'll just leave the drink on his desk for him to drink when he comes back."
As he thought this, Ji Dong approached the desk and was about to put down the cup of wine in his hand when he noticed the antique scroll on the desk. Now that he was a Level 1 apprentice of Bing and Ding dual fire, he had some sensitivity to Yin Yang Demon Power and immediately discovered the immense Power that filled the scroll.
"What is this?" In Ji Dong's eyes, the scroll before him looked like a unique type of painting from his previous life's home country, known as traditional Chinese painting. After it was completed for preservation, traditional Chinese painting would be mounted on scrolls. Although the patterns on this old scroll were unfamiliar to him, its style was no different from that of a traditional Chinese painting scroll. Since this was a painting, why did it have fluctuations in Yin Yang Demon Power?
Driven by curiosity, Ji Dong held the wine cup in one hand and picked up the scroll with the other. With a flip of his hand, he opened the ancient All-round Indeterminate Teleportation Scroll left over from the past. In Ji Dong's eyes, this was just a painting. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to see what exactly was painted that gave off fluctuations of Yin Yang Demon Power. But how could he have imagined that it was the scroll in front of him that would change his fate in this world?
