Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 291 Reading the Book of Slytherin, this is the basilisk that was born!
After Lin Xia sent the letter to Fudge, she toured the manor.

Just as she said, she wanted to take good care of the manor this time she came back.

In the past, she didn't often stay in the manor during holidays, so a lot of weeds grew wildly.

If it is not cleaned up, people outside will think the manor is abandoned.

With the help of household magic, Lin Xia quickly took care of the entire manor.

"Clean up!"

"Garbage is flying!"

"Whirlwind Sweep!"

"Bubble bomb!"

Ha, the “Bubble Bomb” used by Lin Xia is a modified version and does not have real explosive power.

After each bubble explodes, there will be a pile of foam to help Lin Xia clean the entire manor.

Lin Xia spent an afternoon cleaning up the manor and started making some training equipment.

This time when she returned to the manor, she still wanted to improve her archery skills.

With the help of the super-sensory spell, she already has the potential to become a master of archery.

The concept of "long-range shooter" does not exist in the wizarding world, but archers in the wizarding world can play a long-range role.

Lin Xia was still very interested in the fact that he could kill the enemy thousands of miles away in seconds without leaving his home.

When night comes, all things are resting and recuperating.

Lin Xiacai summoned the Scales of Fate in his study and checked what kind of items were created after sacrificing the energy of the corpses of Gress and the basilisk.

——"Slytherin Soul Tempering Method"!
Lin Xia gently stroked the cover of the book. If people didn't know in advance that this was a rare object, they would probably think it was just a book.

It is rumored that Slytherin owns a secret chamber in Hogwarts, which contains treasures left by Slytherin for future generations.

Lin Xia participated in the entire expedition.

She could guarantee that this secret room was exactly the same as the one she stayed in last time to sacrifice the basilisk, and the way to enter and the passage were exactly the same.

Last time, she hurriedly sacrificed the basilisk, myrtle, Peeves and the rooster, and got the chance to leave Hogwarts.

But before leaving, she searched the entire secret room in spirit form, but found nothing.

More than a decade ago, she knew that there was actually nothing in the Chamber of Secrets, including the coveted notebook, Slytherin's experimental potion, and so on.

The so-called notebook had long since decayed under the spell of time, and the experimental potions had lost all their effects, becoming nothing more than a pile of ineffective potions.

If other professors went to explore this secret room with great anticipation, they would be as disappointed as they were excited.

Lin Xia's fingertips tapped lightly on the book, her eyes full of thought.

What she couldn't understand was that she had sacrificed the basilisk more than ten years ago, so how could Hogwarts have another basilisk?

And this snake monster...

Although it has the ability to petrify, it is a bit weak in close combat. Compared with the snake monster she fought more than ten years ago, this snake monster is more like a weakened version.

Lin Xia felt as if it was forcibly born by some force.

Let’s not talk about how this snake monster came about. Lin Xia turned his attention back to the book. Just as he was about to open it, he felt something in his heart.

She took out all the memory crystals from the Traceless Retractable Ring.

Just when she was about to open the book, she noticed some movement in the memory crystal.

Speaking of memory crystals, they are fragments of Voldemort's memories, but every time they are used, they are accompanied by heavy mumblings, and they can only be viewed after being purified by the Scales of Fate.

Otherwise she would be disturbed by whispers.

The last time she used the scales of fate to watch, she found that after watching, the color of the scales of fate immediately became much darker.

So Lin Xia knew that the purification of the scales of fate was not unlimited. It had to consume something in order to gain something.

At that time, the balance of fate was very important to her, and Lin Xia also felt that she needed to become stronger, to the point where she could use her body to fight against the evil god's whispers, and then try to use the memory crystal.

So I kept the memory crystal.

Lin Xia placed all the memory crystals next to the book and slowly opened it.

As she read, the memory crystals floated up and actually merged together to form one giant memory crystal.

Then it emitted a burst of light and fell into the books.

After a while, the book, which was originally just a text version, turned into an image version under the projection of light!
What appeared in front of Lin Xia was the youth of Voldemort, Tom Riddle.

With his handsome appearance, he smiled at Lin Xia, and then explained the general outline of "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method".

Through his explanation, Lin Xia finally understood why Voldemort could slice his soul continuously and still be so powerful.

It is because of practicing the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method"!
Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

The legendary great wizard Slytherin did leave treasures in the Chamber of Secrets. The soul-tempering method invented by Slytherin was the most precious wealth he left to his heirs.

And Voldemort's way of achieving immortality is not simply a forbidden spell. He first uses the soul tempering method to make his soul incomparably powerful before he can slice his soul.

Lin Xia thought, no wonder Voldemort sliced ​​his own soul and processed it as if it were free, it turned out that it was all supported by the soul tempering method.

It is also because of the soul tempering method that Voldemort can devour other people's souls at will and be resurrected.

As for what are the dangers of practicing this method?
When the strength of the body and soul do not match each other, "soul separation syndrome" is likely to occur.

The body cannot accommodate a powerful soul, causing the soul to leave the body.

At this time, you can use slicing on the powerful soul!

So, the reason why Voldemort was so keen on slicing was also to ensure that he would not suffer from soul-leaving syndrome?

After listening to young Tom's explanation, Lin Xia thought for a while and felt that she could learn this soul tempering method.

But she must choose to learn.

When the strength of the soul exceeds the strength of the body, stop immediately.

Unlike Voldemort, she was not keen on slicing her own body.

But as her body grew stronger, she felt that her soul could not keep up with her body.

In "The Secret Records of the Nine Heavens and the Mysterious Yang", there is a saying that "Heaven, Earth, and Man" correspond to the "Essence, Qi, and Spirit" of the human body.

"Essence" can be regarded as the essence and blood of the human body, that is, the vitality in the human body.

At this point, Lin Xia asked himself that after several transformations, his body had become very strong.

Although the soul and spirit have grown, the changes they bring are definitely not that strong. You can practice other skills appropriately to supplement them.

If Lin Xia had not encountered the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method" this time, he would have planned to learn another method related to the soul.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia continued watching.

After the video finished explaining the general outline, it began to talk about the first practice point.

The cultivation method in the wizarding world is different from the inheritance of the techniques she learned.

For example, the Secret Records of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang aims to open up various acupoints in the body and tap into the potential of the human body.

But "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method" is a method of visualization! And the animal to be viewed is none other than a giant flying python.

This giant python looks a bit like a basilisk.

Lin Xia couldn't help but wonder, the basilisk legend is a man-made magical creature created by wizards, so is the prototype of the basilisk the giant flying python?
Slytherin originally wanted to create this giant python, but because he couldn't make it, or perhaps it was by accident, he created this basilisk.

As she continued reading, Lin Xia noticed something strange.

Although this soul-tempering method is called "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method", it seems that the Slytherins have not fully practiced this method.

She read quickly and saw Slytherin's notes in the fourth chapter, which was only two-thirds of the way through the book.

As for Voldemort's notes, she saw them at the end of the third chapter, just before entering the fourth chapter.

She couldn't turn the pages further.

Only when someone has practiced it and left his thoughts on it can you read it.

Lin Xia waved her wand gently, a hint of thought flashing across her eyes.

If this soul-tempering method was not created by Slytherin, where did it come from?
"Professor McGonagall once revealed that there is another world besides the wizarding world. Could it be stolen from another world?"

No, maybe it was “borrowed”.

Lin Xia cleared away the complicated thoughts in her mind and began to visualize the flying giant python.

At the same time, at Hogwarts.

The professors teamed up again and went through the pipe to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

The bodies of the basilisk and Gles were still lying on the ground.

Snape's face turned pale. This time, he was not the only Potions Master traveling with them. There were also several other Potions Masters.

Some are professors at Hogwarts, some are professors elsewhere, and some are free men... No matter what, they all have extremely high knowledge of potions.

After hearing that Hogwarts had eliminated the basilisk, they immediately sent in an application, wanting to find out the truth.

On the surface, it was said that it was to check whether the basilisk eliminated by Hogwarts was a real one, in order to increase accuracy.

But actually, I just want to share some materials.

Damn, who leaked the news that Hogwarts had eliminated the basilisk?

Snape cursed inwardly.

He never imagined that one day he would fall into the hands of a little wizard.

As soon as these potion masters came down, they didn't even look at Gress's body, but looked at the basilisk in fascination.

"The patterns are exactly the same as in the legend, and so are its eyes. What a pity! If its eyes were intact, the value of this basilisk would be even more inestimable. These eyes are the raw material for making curiosities."

The Potions Master couldn't stop praising her.

"Even though it's dead, the feel is incomparably good. I thought snake skin would be rough, but it's surprisingly smooth."

"Yes, that's why they can move silently in the pipes. Oh, these eyes, it hurts my heart just thinking about them."

"Wait, the injuries to these two pairs of eyes seem to be different. One was pecked blind from the outside, and the other seems to have been destroyed from the inside."

"Can I lift its eyelids and take a look?" a Potions Master asked anxiously.

Professor Snape said coldly: "I advise you not to do that. Even if it is a dead basilisk, its eyes still have powerful magic. With a little processing, it can become a petrified wonder!"

However, it was too late to say this.

Some potion masters lifted the basilisk's eyelids and touched its bloodshot pupils, which were no longer yellow-orange but grayish-white.

But the next second, the potion master shouted and his hands were petrified!
Even if the basilisk is dead, it still possesses very strong magical powers!
The other Potions Masters couldn't help but take a small step back in horror, and then resumed their discussion as if nothing had happened.

"With such powerful activity, it must be a basilisk. Only after a basilisk dies can its pupils still be so powerful."

Even the potion master whose arm was petrified said with a smile: "My hand is the evidence. Since I was accidentally injured, give me more materials when you distribute them later!"

He didn't care about his injury at all. The mandrake was about to be cultivated, and his palm would recover after drinking the potion.

Only Snape frowned as he stroked the snake skin, feeling that the snake skin under his palm was too soft.

He took out a scalpel and dissected the basilisk. When he saw the stomach, he stopped.

Then he carefully went around to the front and observed the fangs of the basilisk.

Snape said solemnly: "Something is wrong. This basilisk is not as old as imagined."

Upon hearing this, the other potion masters all looked over.

Even the other professors at Hogwarts are the same.

Mag asked seriously, "What's wrong?"

Snape said: "I just dissected its stomach sac, and just by touching it, I found that its stomach sac was extremely fragile, which is not what it should be like after living for thousands of years.

And there is absolutely no other digestive matter in its body, which means that the basilisk has been hungry for a long time, but this shouldn't be the case.

After thousands of years, there should be some indigestible things left in its stomach. Also, did you notice that we didn't find its snake skin? "

Snape said seriously: "There is no snake slough, which proves that this is a new basilisk, which may have been catalyzed in recent years!"

When these words came out, the other wizards were shocked.

Catalyze the basilisk?
This technology is more shocking than knowing that there is a basilisk!
Snape continued: "Apart from these two doubts, there are its fangs.

It looks thick, but its lethality is not strong. I heard from the young wizard who went on the expedition that the fang was embedded in the arm of a young wizard!

That little wizard was able to pull out the fangs by his own strength, but I don’t think the bite force or toxicity of the fangs can be compared with the real basilisk.”

The other potion masters looked at each other in bewilderment. "This..."

A breeze blew, and shimmering dust appeared in front of them, and Dumbledore's vague figure appeared.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Snape with his eyes hidden behind his half-moon glasses.

Dumbledore said, "Any further evidence?"

Snape shook his head: "I have to fully dissect the basilisk to get the data."

Dumbledore said without hesitation: "Then dissect it!"

Other potion masters said one after another: "Principal Dumbledore, we are willing to stay and help Professor Snape with the dissection."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Hogwarts is in great need of professors. If you are willing to stay and serve as professors, Hogwarts will welcome you."

The others looked at each other again.

Snape said arrogantly, "I don't need their help. I can do it on my own."

The other potion masters no longer hesitated and said, "We are willing to join Hogwarts!"

The glowing dust dissipated, and Dumbledore's figure disappeared in front of the others.

The Minister of Magic's office under a bright moonlight.

In front of Dumbledore stood two Aurors, who were talking about the results of their investigation in Hogwarts.
