Chapter 010: Level One Apprentice of the Dual Fire of Bing and Ding
In the office of the dean, Yang Bingtian welcomed a guest
With a sigh, Xia said, "Haven't I already taught you? Sit cross-legged, relax your entire body, and use your mind to sense the dual elemental magic you possess. The magic you currently have, or rather, your own body, is like a magnet. You need to use your mind to attract the free fire elements of Bing and Ding from the air. This is the method of cultivation. The initial ten levels of Yin-Yang Sorcerer cultivation are the most difficult, relying solely on one's own perception and intention to slowly condense. This process is long and tedious. Many people fail to achieve the Yin-Yang Crown not because of insufficient talent, but because they cannot persist through this monotony. With your dual-element cultivation and the characteristic of balanced Yin and Yang attributes, you will have to put in far more effort than ordinary students."

Half of a red crown star and half of a blue crown star gradually took shape, meeting at the center of Ji Dong's forehead, merging into a crown star that was half red and half blue. At first, the colors were still faint, but as the energies of the two crown stars gradually fused with Ji Dong's body, this special crown star also became clearer.
The scroll is entirely presented in a dark yellow hue, and it is unclear what material it is made from. It features intricate dark patterns and some special inscriptions, none of which belong to contemporary writing. Particularly, the intense fluctuations of magical power it emits leave no doubt about the formidable nature of the yin-yang magical techniques depicted on it
Ah! Is this the so-called most useless, yet capable of harnessing the greatest yin-yang magical power through the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and restriction, all-encompassing and indeterminate teleportation scroll?
Summer's cleansing took on a serious tone, as both hands grasped a crystal crown. In a low voice, he said: "You do not need to know the origins of the crystal crown just yet, ordinary student. When beginning your cultivation, you must feel the presence of the Bing Fire and Ding Fire elements in the air under our guidance. Only by being able to sense them can you absorb them into your body through cultivation, claiming them as your own to enhance your strength. However, you possess a body of Yin-Yang balance. Although Bing Fire and Ding Fire do not inherently repel each other, their balanced nature means that if this balance is disrupted, they will interfere with one another, making it impossible for you to sense the presence of these two elements in the air. Only through these two crystal crowns can you directly acquire the ability to sense them and possess a certain amount of Bing Fire and Ding Fire magic power, thus beginning your cultivation. In this regard, you have saved at least a month compared to ordinary students. I will now use my magic power to activate these two crystal crowns, infusing their energy into your body. You must carefully feel the characteristics of these two different magical powers. In the future, as you continue your cultivation, no one can help you; you must rely solely on yourself. Since you have decided to walk this path, I hope you can summon the determination you had during your morning run and work diligently."
Upon awakening, Ji felt a surge of power throughout his body, though the sensation of strength was not uniform on both sides. The right side of his body seemed to be filled with a strong explosive force, while the left side was characterized by resilience and endurance
"How did I not notice any weakness in your spirit?" Summer looked at Ji Dong with great interest. At this moment, his gaze was even more terrifying than before, when he had appeared fierce and menacing. He said, "According to Article 9 of the Fire Academy's regulations, anyone who defies a teacher will be punished. After we finish the main business later, you will run around the playground until I am satisfied. Of course, I admit that you have a point; I was excessive earlier and somewhat extreme. Therefore, I will punish myself as well. I will run with you, without using any magical assistance."
A little pain? Is this a little pain? However, Ji Dong no longer has the luxury to think about these things; he can only feel that the moment described by Xia Tian is so long.
Looking at Xia Tian, Ji spoke sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Xia Tian"
Ji Dong's body suddenly trembled, feeling two streams of energy surge into his chest in an instant: one was scorching, the other warm. The scorching energy was filled with an explosive aura, as if it were going to burn his body to ashes, while the warm energy flowed into every part of his body like spring water. The explosive surge of the scorching energy brought Ji Dong intense pain, while the warm energy made his blood feel as if it had solidified. He felt as though he had fallen into a massive yin-yang furnace, being tempered within.

With a huff of annoyance, she said, "You are lucky this time. Without these two crystal crowns, you would probably never be able to possess these two types of magical power. Future advancements will not be so easy. Remember, during your cultivation, you must absorb both types of magical power simultaneously, and the amounts absorbed must be exactly the same. Only then will it not affect your body. Otherwise, if either type of magical power is absorbed in excess, it will immediately disturb the balance of your body's yin and yang characteristics, rendering your efforts futile."
"Yes," Ji Dong straightened his back and replied earnestly
Hello, please take a seat. Yang Bingtian gestured for the visitor to sit down on the sofa
Director Yang, I am a staff member of the Imperial Yin-Yang Sorcerers Guild. This time, entrusted by the guild, I bring you an item. The president is aware that you enjoy collecting various Yin-Yang sorcery scrolls. The guild has occasionally acquired one from a down-and-out Yin-Yang sorcerer, and we can offer it to you at the original price.
Persevere, the energy of the crystal crown not only guides the release of your dual attributes but also helps transform your constitution. If you cannot endure this little pain, what is the point of being a Yin-Yang sorcerer? It will be over soon
Since arriving at the Five Elements Continent, Ji Dong had been struggling in weakness. Being able to eat his fill was only a recent development. It was only after merging with those two crystal crowns that he truly felt the presence of power again, and his vitality and spirit significantly improved, no longer experiencing the fatigue that accompanied even the slightest effort as he had before.
Taking a deep breath, in the summer, both palms shot out like lightning, simultaneously pressing against Ji Dong's left and right chest, imprinting those two orbs of light onto him
Xiatian finally revealed a hint of a smile on his face. From the way Jidong remained composed in such pain, without uttering a sound, he could see the child's resolute spirit. Furthermore, Jidong's earlier admission of being an orphan significantly alleviated Xiatian's negative feelings towards his underhanded entry into the academy.
The method of creating such scrolls has been lost to time, therefore, the available Yin-Yang magic technique scrolls are almost all ancient artifacts. Yang Bingtian collects these items not for practical use, but rather with an attitude of appreciation and research.
As the day gradually turns to dusk, accompanied by the appearance of the evening glow, it is once again the time of day when light and darkness alternate
Ji Dong admired Xia Tian's straightforwardness and willingness to admit mistakes. However, he remarked that running laps was not entirely fair. Yet, judging by his physique, it seemed that even after running a hundred laps, this bull-like man would hardly feel anything. At this moment, Ji Dong's thoughts were more focused on the two crystal crowns in Xia Tian's hands, so he refrained from saying anything further
The middle-aged man smiled as he looked at Yang Bingtian, who was unable to take his eyes off the item, and said: "After careful study by the guild, this scroll is believed to have been crafted by a master who specialized in creating Yin-Yang magic scrolls a thousand years ago. It is called the All-Directional Unstable Teleportation Scroll. The most remarkable aspect is that it was made after being infused with at least five types of Yin-Yang magical energy, making it extremely valuable for collectors"
Ji Dong stood up, and he suddenly realized that he had developed a fondness for this Fire Academy, as well as for this straightforward and passionate summer who could not tolerate foolishness. After bowing respectfully to summer, he walked out.
Upon seeing this scroll, Yang Bingtian's eyes immediately lit up. He is a connoisseur, and from the ancient appearance of the scroll, he could tell its considerable age.
In the summer, waving his hand, he said: "It has already been stated that these two crowns belong to the dean. If you wish to express your gratitude, you should do so to him. Now that you have completed the first step in the training of a Yin-Yang Sorcerer, you can look in the mirror when you return. When you control the fire magic of Bing and Ding within you with your mind, the crown stars you currently possess will appear on your forehead. They are both half, which means you are now a Level 1 Bing-Ding Dual Fire Apprentice"
Teacher Xia Tian, how should I cultivate? Since I am already a Level 1 apprentice of both Fire and Earth, could you please teach me the cultivation methods first?
When he opened his eyes, he found that his fire-element school uniform was completely soaked, and he felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Despite sweating so much, he did not feel the slightest bit tired; instead, he felt a surge of strength throughout his entire body
As the formation of the crown star progressed, Ji Dong's expression gradually became calmer. The two raging energies slowly settled, gently converging at his chest. Ji Dong could feel that on either side of his chest, there was a light point; the left was blue, and the right was red. At the same time, he also discovered that when he concentrated, he seemed to faintly sense a similar aura in the air, although it was much weaker than the two points of light within him. Each had a light point; the left was blue, and the right was red. He also found that when he focused his mind, he could vaguely perceive a similar presence in the air, albeit much fainter than the two points of light inside him.
Thank you, teacher. I will remember your words and will put in more effort than my classmates. I will use my achievements to prove all of this to you. May I now begin your punishment
In summer, with both hands holding two crystal crowns, a light shone in his eyes. In an instant, Ji Dong once again felt the scorching heat emanating from the fire-type magic. The three-crowned solar crown of summer reappeared above his head. Two streams of red flames instantly rose from his palms, and the two crystal crowns in his hands also lit up in an instant, each condensing into a dazzling brilliance.
The middle-aged man raised his hand to touch the belt adorned with a red gemstone at his waist, and a scroll approximately one foot long appeared in his hands. He carefully presented the scroll in front of Yang Bingtian.
Hello, Director Yang. The person who arrived appeared to be around forty years old, tall and slender, with bright, piercing eyes. He was dressed in a red robe, and on the right side of his chest was a flame emblem surrounded by a golden halo. This emblem did not represent strength, but rather status, as only members of the Yin-Yang Sorcerer Guild of the Southern Fire Empire would dress in such a manner
Undoubtedly, the scorching airflow is the fire magic released through the corona, while the other warm airflow represents the fire magic of Ding. Upon entering Ji Dong's body, these two streams of magic immediately spread along his meridians, alternating between frenzied and gentle heat. Ji Dong's body spasmed uncontrollably, and his hands, resting on his knees, instinctively clenched his pants. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and endured with great difficulty.
Ji Dong positioned himself according to Xia Tian's instructions, closing his eyes. He had devoted himself to wine for twenty years; in terms of focus, few could match him. Almost the moment he closed his eyes, his mind had already settled into tranquility.
Let today's punishment be waived. I will also take a break from hetushucom.com. You have just acquired first-level magical power, so go back and start your training. Experience it well, and if you have any questions, come find me. I live in room 501 on the top floor of the Fire Element dormitory building. Go ahead.
"Yin-Yang Magic Technique Scroll? Let me take a look." Yang Bingtian's eyes lit up, and he quickly gestured for the other party to take out the scroll. If one were to say that his greatest passion in life was savoring fine wine, then collecting Yin-Yang Magic Technique Scrolls would be a close second. The Yin-Yang Magic Technique Scrolls are essentially special scrolls that imprint various Yin-Yang magic techniques. Generally speaking, they primarily focus on auxiliary Yin-Yang magic techniques, as scrolls for attack and defense require an immense amount of stored magical power, making them difficult to succeed.
Xiatian's eyes revealed a hint of joy, and he secretly thought that it indeed required the simultaneous absorption of both the Fire of Bing and the Fire of Ding to be effective. With his body in perfect balance of Yin and Yang, the magical power contained within these two crystal crowns was not wasted in the slightest. While others were merely first-level Bing Fire apprentices or first-level Ding Fire apprentices, he was fortunate enough to be a first-level apprentice of both Bing and Ding Fire. As he watched the crown star gradually take shape, Xiatian felt a sense of anticipation. If this child before him could truly complete the condensation of the Yin-Yang Crown, what a magnificent sight it would be. After all, possessing the Yin-Yang Crown would mean he could become a true Yin-Yang Mage.
The summer was equally tense. This was not the first time Jingmian had used the crown, but it was absolutely the first time to use a crown with both Yin and Yang attributes on a single person. He nervously observed the changes in Ji Dong's expression, sensing the transformation of energy from the crown within his body. He did not dare to channel his Fire Elemental magic into Ji Dong, as it was something Ji Dong could not possibly withstand. At this moment, the energy from these two crowns could only be absorbed by him alone.
"So soon to reach Level 1?" Ji Dong said in surprise
Sweat transformed into steam, rising from Ji's body, carrying a faint fishy odor. His body indeed harbored many impurities. At this moment, under the dual flames of yin and yang, the impurities were being rapidly purified. The scorching and warm energies moved with increasing speed, and in the clear summer air, two points of starlight gradually began to appear on his excited forehead.
Close your eyes, place your hands flat on your knees, relax your entire body, and remain still regardless of any sensations that may arise.
