Chapter 5 Balancing Yin and Yang (below)

  Putting down the Hai Bo Cup with great reluctance, if not for Ji Dong being beside him, Yang Bing Tian would have the urge to lick the wine cup with his tongue.   "It's too perfect. You're right, deliciousness cannot be used more than once, to be able to enjoy it once a day is already my greatest fulfillment." Barely allowing himself to snap back from that mesmerizing feeling, when he looked at Ji Dong again, the wrinkles on Yang Bingtian's face had been piled up with a smile.   "Didn't you say that you wanted to test the Yin and Yang attributes for me?" Ji Dong reminded.   "Oh. Immersed too deeply, I forgot." Yang Bingtian hemmed and hawed a little embarrassedly, and with a flick of his wrist, only to see the light of a red gemstone bracelet on his wrist flashing, a small transparent slender stick had appeared in his hand.   The stick was a foot long and looked like it was made of crystal, with scale-like lines on it, and a small red and blue ball on each end.   "Here, hold the blue side with your left hand and the red side with your right. Relax your whole body," Yang Bingtian pinched the center of the crystal stick and handed it to Ji Dong.   Ji Dong did as he was told, Yang Bing Tian raised his hand and pressed it on Ji Dong's forehead, a rolling hot stream of heat instantly traveled from Yang Bing Tian's hand into Ji Dong's body, that rolling hot stream instantly surged into every corner of Ji Dong's whole body, the scalding comforting sensation made him indescribably comfortable, and the crystal stick held in both his hands appeared to have a change with it.   Blue color spread out from the orb held in his left hand, on the other hand, red color spread out from his right hand and gathered towards the center of the crystal stick. When Yang Bingtian looked at the two colors spreading at almost the same speed on both sides, he couldn't help but frown.   Soon, the two colors gradually converged towards the center, right at the scale in the center.   "It can't be." Retracting the hand pressed on Ji Dong's forehead, Yang Bingtian bent down and kept his eyes to the central position of that crystal stick, staring dead on at the position where the two colors converged, his gaze completely dumbfounded.   Ji Dong handed the crystal stick back to him, "If you want to praise me for being a genius, I don't mind." It was rare to see Yang Bingtian so surprised, Ji Dong could not help but snicker.   "Genius? You are really a genius! But a born wastrel. In all the years I have been teaching, I have never seen one like you who is a waste of talent to such a complete extent."   "What did you say?" Ji Dong was taken aback. Although this body was weak, he did not believe that he would be a waste.   Yang Bingtian pointed at the crystal stick and said, "Look, you yourself are of the fire attribute yes, this is my fire attribute testing stick, the blue color represents yin fire and the red color represents yang fire. If I have to say that you are a genius, there is nothing wrong with that. Yin and Yang balance, surprisingly, it's Yin and Yang balance. I've lived for more than sixty years, and it's the first time I've encountered someone with a completely balanced yin and yang attribute."   "What's wrong with balancing yin and yang? Isn't the balance of yin and yang in the human body good for the body?" Ji Dong said with uncertainty.   Yang Bingtian smiled bitterly, "That's right, for ordinary people, a body with balanced yin and yang is a symbol of longevity. It can be said to be one in a million. However, for us Yin Yang Magicians. A balanced yin and yang is even rarer than pure yin and yang. Remember, I told you that you should choose the direction of your cultivation according to your yin and yang attributes. Generally speaking, ordinary people's yin and yang attributes are six or four open, either favoring the yang or the yin. And we won't accept students with six or four openings. Because the difference between yin and yang attributes is too small, it is difficult to cultivate a yin or yang coronet, and even if they do, it will be difficult to continue to progress in the future. One needs at least a thirty to seventy percent split in yin and yang attributes to have a thirty percent chance of cultivating into a yin and yang coronet. For example, my own attribute is the rare twenty-eight Yin Yang. The yang attribute occupies eighty percent, and it was only after constant cultivation that I have become what I am today."   Ji Dong said in a somewhat dumbfounded manner, "Then, in that case, it is the pure Yin and pure Yang bodies that have the best results in cultivating Yin-Yang Demon Masters?"   Yang Bingtian shook his head and said, "That's not true either. Pure Yin and Pure Yang bodies are hard to live past twenty years old because they are too extreme, so they are not suitable for cultivation either. Unless the man and woman are pure yin and pure yang respectively, and the yin and yang are harmonized before the age of twenty, only then is there a possibility of cultivation. However, the two people could never be separated, or else they could die violently at any time. Therefore, the best physique to cultivate a Yin-Yang Magician should be a nine-one opening, with extreme favoritism towards one side. This is what we in the Yin Yang Magician world call a supreme genius."   Ji Dong took a deep breath before exhaling it slowly, "Then can you tell me how I should choose if I want to cultivate Yin Yang Magician?"   The wrinkles on Yang Bingtian's face tugged, "It's difficult. Because you are born with an innate yin and yang balance, you cannot disrupt this balance. Therefore, if you want to cultivate Yin Yang Demon Master, you must be a C-Ding dual fire system co-cultivator. Always maintain the balance of yin and yang. As much as I wish I could always drink the wine you made, I can't lie to you. A person with a yin and yang score of three or seven, their cultivation speed is double that of a score of six or four, a score of two or eight is again double that of a score of three or seven, and so on. A person with nine points of yin and yang cultivates at eight times the speed of six or four points. As for your fifty-five points, a single attribute is one sixteenth of the cultivation speed of a ninety-one point, and a double attribute with the same cultivation, it's going to be one thirty-two. Under these circumstances, it would be almost impossible for you to cultivate a Yin Yang Coronet. And a Yin Yang Demon Master who hadn't cultivated a Yin Yang Coronet before he became an adult at the age of eighteen. Then, there is no chance in a lifetime."   "Thank you for telling me this." Ji Dong faced Yang Bingtian, and for the first time, a look of respect appeared in his eyes. Yang Bingtian had undoubtedly relied heavily on the fine wine he had concocted, yet he still did not lie to him, worthy of being a teacher.   Yang Bing Tian gently patted Ji Dong's shoulder, "In fact, bartender is also a very good profession, even if you are not willing to bartend for ordinary people, I can still introduce you into the Bartender Guild, with your level, you will definitely be able to shine in the bartending world."   Ji Move shook his head, "Thank you for your kind words, but I still want to try."   "You mean?" Yang Bingtian's eyes widened. However, he saw the persistence as hard as gold stone in the eyes of Excitement.   "I want to try to become a Yin Yang Magician. If talent doesn't work, I'll put in thirty-two times the effort." Since he had come to such a magical world, why not live once in a different way? Even if it doesn't work out, what can be lost?
