The Distant Fire Academy had a holiday every year, which was during the summer. Because the summer of the Southern Fire Empire was too hot, the school would only start in early autumn, during which there would be a three-month holiday. It was currently the holiday period, so the academy was very deserted, with very few people to be seen. Originally, Ji Dong had thought that the entrance exam that Yang Bingtian had mentioned should also start since the school was about to start. He wanted to broaden his horizons, but Yang Bingtian told him that the entrance exam was held at the end of each school year, and those who passed the exam would directly enter the next school year.
Ji Dong's clothes were soaked with sweat after he slowly ran two laps around the sports field. His body was too weak. Even if he had good food to supplement his body, it wouldn't recover in a day or two. Whether it was for making drinks or for the Yin And Yang Magician that Ji Dong was very curious about, he had to exercise so that his body could recover to the level of a normal person as soon as possible.
"The school will start tomorrow. I haven't looked forward to something like this for a long time. Yin And Yang Magician, what kind of profession is it?"
While thinking, Ji Dong walked back to the teaching building and went to his room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Bingtian sitting there waiting for him with an eager expression.
Yesterday, after everything was ready, he made a glass of wine for Yang Bingtian. After drinking that glass of wine, Yang Bingtian's attitude towards him became gentler. Just like a great man in Ji Dong's previous life once said, practice is the only standard to test the truth. After drinking the wine that he made, Yang Bingtian began to feel that it was extremely wise for him to agree to Ji Dong's conditions.
"Ji Dong, what are you going to make today?" Seeing Ji Dong was back, Yang Bingtian immediately stood up and walked towards him.
Ji Dong said, "I'm going to take a shower first, and then I'll make a drink for you." Ji Dong would never discount what he had promised. This was Ji Dong's principle.
Yang Bingtian said, "Then hurry up. The school will start tomorrow, and I'll test your Yin and Yang property to see which series you are more suitable for."
"Yin and Yang property? What do you mean? "Ji Dong asked in confusion.
Yang Bingtian said, "From your breath, I can see that your nature is fire, but fire is also divided into Yin and Yang. One is Yang fire, and the other is Yin fire. Each has its own characteristics. For example, I practice Yang fire, which means I'm a third fire magician. If I practice Yin fire, then I'm a third fire magician of the Fuhuo series. "
Ji Dong said, "Okay, then I'll go take a shower first." The more he listened to Yang Bingtian's introduction, the more curious Ji Dong was about Yin And Yang Magician. He gradually understood that the classification of Yin And Yang Magician seemed to be related to his previous life's Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and Heavenly Stems. Among the ten Heavenly Stems, Bing and Ding were fire, but he didn't do any research in this area. He only knew that the South said Bing and Ding fire, but he didn't know that Bing fire could also be called Yang fire, and Ding fire was Yin fire.
There was a washroom outside Ji Dong's room. After a quick shower, he changed into a clean set of clothes. As soon as he walked out, he saw Yang Bingtian pacing restlessly in the room. He had seen this kind of situation many times in his previous life, so he naturally understood Yang Bingtian's eagerness. He didn't say anything and went behind the bar.
The moment Ji Dong held the shaker in his hand, he seemed to have changed into a different person. What Yang Bingtian admired the most was Ji Dong's extreme concentration when he was mixing drinks. Although Ji Dong's body wasn't as strong as it used to be, his level of mixing drinks was the same as it was in his previous life. He had truly reached the realm of nothing but wine. Simply put, the same ingredients were mixed by different people, and the taste was completely different, even if the ratio of seasoning was the same.
Yang Bingtian held his breath and focused on Ji Dong's movements, afraid that he would disturb Ji Dong. Ji Dong's movements were very fast. He didn't even need to look with his eyes. He just needed to backhand to grab the wine cabinet behind him, and he could easily get the wine he needed. As the God of Wine, he would never forget the placement of any wine on the cabinet after seeing it once.
Two tenths of green anise wine, two tenths of Bacardi rum, three tenths of yellow gold wine, and a red vermouth that Ji Dong had specially asked Yang Bingtian to buy to fill up the last three tenths. When all the bottles returned to their original positions, the shaker had already been tossed into the air. Even Yang Bingtian didn't notice when he closed the lid.
Ji Dong used an ordinary crystal shaker, which was also Ji Dong's favorite in his previous life. Although the crystal shaker was easily damaged, it was the least likely to affect the taste of the wine. It was much better than a metal shaker.
"It's a pity that there's no ice." Ji Dong muttered to himself. At the same time, he raised his hands. The crystal shaker rolled back and forth on his palms. His hands were like magnets that kept sucking the shaker. As the shaker rolled, Yang Bingtian could clearly see the color of the wine inside the crystal shaker changing.
The entire mixing process was very short. When the shaker finally fell from the air, it actually spun on the table like a top. Although the wine inside was full, it still appeared to be in a spiral shape.
"Although this method is simple, it can remove the foam from the wine. Thus, it doesn't need to be filtered." Ji Dong's fingers moved slightly, and the shaker stopped. He opened the lid and poured the wine into a thick highwave glass. When the last drop of wine was poured into the glass, the entire glass showed an extremely strange color. The top was pink, and it gradually spread downwards. It gradually became lighter, until it became a light blue, then a sky blue, and continued to the bottom of the glass. This glass of wine seemed to be composed of two colors.
"Mixing wine is an art. When mixing wine, the bartender will infuse their own feelings into the glass of wine. Therefore, when the bartender's mood is different, the same wine will taste different. Please have a taste. This glass of wine is called — Charm. It is suitable to be sipped."
"Charm? What a good Charm. " Yang Bingtian praised sincerely. When he took the first sip, he was completely conquered by the charm of this glass of wine. At first, it was slightly sour and sweet, but with each sip, the taste changed continuously just like its color. When the last blue wine completely changed the taste into a complex and charming one, the texture was unusual. The heavy and stimulating anise oil and the mellow and gentle juniper flavor perfectly blended. Yang Bingtian felt as if he was floating in the air.
Ji Dong didn't ask Yang Bingtian how he felt after tasting the wine. He just sat quietly and waited. This was the confidence of the God of Wine.
Yang Bingtian put down the highwave glass with great reluctance. If it wasn't for Ji Dong beside him, he would have had the urge to lick the glass with his tongue.
"It's perfect. You're right. Delicacies can't be used too much. Being able to enjoy it once a day is already my greatest satisfaction." Yang Bingtian forced himself to wake up from the intoxicated feeling. When he looked at Ji Dong again, the wrinkles on his face were already piled up by the smile on his face.
"Didn't you say you were going to test my Yin and Yang attributes?" Ji Dong reminded him.
"Oh, I was too immersed, I forgot." Yang Bingtian chuckled a little embarrassedly. With a shake of his wrist, a red gemstone bracelet on his wrist flashed, and a thin, transparent stick appeared in his hand.
The stick was a foot long and looked like it was made of crystal. There were markings on it, and there were red and blue balls on each end.
"Come, hold the blue one with your left hand and the red one with your right. Relax your entire body." Yang Bingtian pinched the center of the crystal stick and handed it to Ji Dong.
Ji Dong did as he was told. Yang Bingtian raised his hand and pressed it on Ji Dong's forehead. A boiling hot current immediately flowed from Yang Bingtian's hand into Ji Dong's body. The boiling hot current instantly flowed into every corner of Ji Dong's body. The feeling of heat made him feel indescribably comfortable, and the crystal stick in his hands began to change.
The blue color spread from the bead in his left hand, while the red color spread from his right hand and gathered in the center of the crystal stick. When Yang Bingtian saw that the two colors were spreading at almost the same speed, he couldn't help but frown.
Soon, the two colors gradually gathered in the center, and coincidentally met at the center of the scale.
"It can't be." Withdrawing his hand from Ji Dong's forehead, Yang Bingtian bent down and moved his eyes to the center of the crystal stick. He stared at the place where the two colors converged, and his eyes were completely dull.
Ji Dong handed the crystal stick back to him and said, "If you want to praise me as a genius, I don't mind." It was rare to see Yang Bingtian so shocked, so Ji Dong couldn't help but tease him.
"Genius? You really are a genius! You're just a natural trash. I've taught for so many years, but I've never seen such a complete trash like you. "
"What did you say?" Ji Dong was shocked. Although this body was a little weak, he didn't believe that he was a trash.
Yang Bingtian pointed at the crystal stick and said, "Look, your body is of the fire attribute, and this is a test stick for the fire attribute. The blue color represents Yin Fire, and the red color represents Yang Fire. If you insist on saying that you are a genius, then there's nothing wrong with it. The balance of Yin and Yang, it's actually the balance of Yin and Yang. I've lived for more than sixty years, and this is the first time I've seen someone with the complete balance of Yin and Yang."
"What's wrong with the balance of Yin and Yang? Isn't the balance of Yin and Yang in the human body good for the body? "Ji Dong was confused.
Yang Bingtian smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. For ordinary people, a body with a balance of Yin and Yang is a symbol of longevity. However, for us, Yin And Yang Magician, a balance of Yin and Yang is even rarer than Pure Yin and Pure Yang. Do you remember what I told you before? You have to choose the direction of your cultivation based on the Yin and Yang attributes? Generally speaking, ordinary people's Yin and Yang attributes are around 6 or 4, which is more inclined towards Yang or Yin. We will not accept students with 6 or 4, because the difference between the Yin and Yang attributes is too small, and it is very difficult to cultivate a Yin Corona or Yang Corona. Even if they manage to cultivate it, it will be very difficult for them to continue to improve in the future. At the very least, they need to have a Yin and Yang attribute of at least 3 or 7 to have a 30% chance of cultivating a Yin Yang Corona. For example, my own attribute is the rare 2/8 Yin and Yang attribute takes up 80% of my attributes.
Ji Dong said in a daze, "So you're saying that a Pure Yin or Pure Yang body will have the best effect in cultivating the Yin And Yang Magician?"
Yang Bingtian shook his head and said, "That's not true. Because a Pure Yin or Pure Yang body is too extreme, it will be very difficult for them to live past the age of 20. Therefore, they are not suitable for cultivation. Unless a man and a woman are Pure Yin and Pure Yang respectively, they will be able to harmonize their Yin and Yang before the age of 20. Only then will there be a possibility of cultivation. However, the two of them can never be separated, or else there is a possibility of sudden death at any time. Therefore, the best physique to cultivate the Yin And Yang Magician should be 9 to 1, which is extremely inclined towards one side. This is what we, the Yin And Yang Magician, refer to as a peerless genius."
Ji Dong took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and said, "Then can you tell me, if I want to cultivate the Yin And Yang Magician, how should I choose?"
The wrinkles on Yang Bingtian's face moved a little, and he said, "It's very difficult, because you are born with a balance of Yin and Yang, so you cannot break this balance. Therefore, if you want to cultivate the Yin And Yang Magician, you must cultivate both the Ying and Ding fire elements at the same time, maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang. Although I really hope to be able to drink the wine you make, I can't lie to you. A person with 3 to 7 split Yin and Yang will have twice the speed of a person with 6 to 4 split Yin and Yang, and so on. A person with 9 to 1 split Yin and Yang will have eight times the speed of a person with 6 to 4 split Yin and Yang. As for you with 5 to 5 split Yin and Yang, your cultivation speed is 1 to 16 times the speed of a person with 9 to 1 split Yin and Yang. If a Yin And Yang Magician cannot cultivate the Yin And Yang Crown before the age of 18, then they will never have the chance in their lifetime."
"Thank you for telling me this," Ji Dong looked at Yang Bingtian with respect for the first time. Yang Bingtian was undoubtedly very dependent on the wine he made, but he did not lie to him. He was indeed a teacher.
Yang Bingtian gently patted Ji Dong's shoulder and said, "Actually, being a bartender is also a very good profession. Even if you are not willing to mix wine for ordinary people, I can still introduce you to the Bartenders Guild. With your skills, you will definitely shine in the bartender world."
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to give it a try."
"You mean?" Yang Bingtian's eyes widened, but he saw the determination that was as hard as metal in his excited eyes.
"I want to try to become a Yin And Yang Magician. If my talent is not enough, then I will put in 32 times the effort." Since he came to such a magical world, why not change his way of living? Even if he did not succeed, what would he lose?
