Qin Beichen beheld her and made an extremely respectful bow.
"Teacher Duanmu, it's been a long time."
The woman with fiery red hair was average in terms of facial features, with slightly darkened skin, but her curvaceous figure, thin waist, long legs, and exceptional height (almost comparable to Qin Beichen) made her stand out.
She was Duanmu Longrong, the caretaker of the Treasure Trove, as well as the deputy principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
"Hmm, this is your student, right?"
Duanmu Longrong turned her head, sized up Chen Mobai, and he immediately bowed in greeting.
"Take this."
A small, dark, red iron piece, about the size of a thumb, flew out of Duanmu Longrong's hand and fell in front of Chen Mobai, who immediately accepted it with thanks.
It was a "Device Piece".
As a key, it could be used to unlock magic artifacts nurtured in the Treasure Trove.
A "Device Piece" could unlock one magical artifact.
