Just as Ji Dong was browsing through the book titled "The Technique of Fusion," he heard an elderly voice from behind attempting to stop him. Turning, he saw the young man he encountered earlier walking in with an old man.
Ji Dong had an excellent memory, and he immediately recognized the old man as one of the few powerful figures he had seen in the third floor of the Magic Master Assembly, whom he could not completely fathom. He was an Eight Crown Magician, a status evident from the Eight-star Badge prominently displayed on his chest.
Ji Dong said, "I'm interested in buying this book. Could I read a few more pages, just three will be enough."
The old man glanced at the twenty Crystal Cores on the table, nodded, and said, "It seems you've been to the Holy Evil battlefield. Otherwise, you wouldn't have so many top-grade Crystal Cores of the same order. Those who have been to the Holy Evil battlefield are heroes among us magicians. I'll let you read another three pages."
