Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 273 The Art of Immortality (First Update)

"Well done!"

Seeing the Taoist books that Li Xiaolang brought, Jerry appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

Originally, he had considered that although Li Xiaolang was quite strong, he was still too young and might not have mastered much knowledge of Taoist arts, which would make communication less efficient.

However, with the aid of numerous Taoist texts, things are different.

He was quite experienced in self-study. If Li Xiaolang really managed to get a copy of all the Taoist books in his Li family, he would definitely gain a lot by studying them on his own, just by using them to refresh his mind.

Moreover, Li Xiaolang provides explanations and demonstrations on basic knowledge.

The most important thing is that he is a true Chinese. Although he has not studied Taoist practices, he has learned some basic concepts through exposure to them.

If you really want a foreigner to learn Taoist arts, just the explanations of some terms and various allusions would be enough to give him a headache.

If Clow Reed hadn't been of mixed race and hadn't been exposed to both Eastern and Western cultures from a young age, it would have been very difficult for him to fuse Eastern Taoist techniques with Western magic.

"If there are no problems, let's begin our first day of learning!"

Jerry told Sakura and the other two who were gathered together to take a few steps back, then raised his hands, and a circle of green flames immediately rose from the ground, startling the little ones into a gasp.

Using powerful magic to manipulate green flames, he drew circles on the ground, along with corresponding runic symbols. Moments later, a mysterious Merlin's Ring appeared at Jerry's feet.

"This is called Merlin's Ring. Standing on it will increase your speed of learning magic!"

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the green flames, revealing Merlin's Ring to the little ones.

"You can come up and give it a try!"

Seeing Jerry wave to them, the three little ones carefully stepped onto Merlin's Ring.

Meanwhile, Little Ke, looking at Merlin's Ring on the ground, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Jerry said he wanted to become a magician who surpassed Clow Reed, which it had never believed before, but now it felt that it might not be impossible.

From the moment it came into contact with Jerry, it really saw a lot of new magic that it had never seen before. Although many of the effects were similar to some of the magic it knew, they were indeed newly created magic.

It had never seen anyone else besides its master, Clow Reed, capable of creating so many new spells.

"I feel so much more awake all of a sudden!"

Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo stood on Merlin's Ring, their faces immediately showing surprise and delight.

While the Merlin Ring isn't as extreme as some other products that can energize the mind, it still offers significant benefits, allowing the brain to instantly return to its optimal mental state.

It's like the state you feel after eight hours of deep sleep without dreaming, and then you're fully awake.

"I wish I could stand here during the exam!"

Sakura recalled what she had learned in math class today and suddenly realized that she had been confused by the geometry of quadrilaterals. Now she seemed to understand some of it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes.

Such a powerful auxiliary magic array is being used for an exam; it's a complete waste of its potential. If he were to learn this array and return to the Li family, the elders would be ecstatic.

In this day and age, there are very few members of the Li family who can cultivate magical powers, and even fewer who are intelligent enough.

Learning this Merlin Formation will at least greatly reduce the difficulty for those in the Li family with cultivation talent to learn Taoist arts.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel that it was such a right decision to keep it a secret from his family and have them send him a copy of all the Taoist manuals. Just the Merlin Ring alone was worth it.

It turns out that when Li Xiaolang called home to ask them to send him the Li family's Taoist scriptures, he didn't tell them the real reason. He only said that he wanted to study and improve his Taoist skills while collecting Clow Cards.

He knew that if he told the truth, those stubborn elders would never agree.

"Today is the first day, and I will be teaching you magic. Today I will explain the concept of magic power and its importance in magic. I will also teach you the method of absorbing magic power—meditation!"

Seeing that the three of them were standing on Merlin's Ring, Jerry waved his hand, pulled over the blackboard in front of him, and began to explain the most basic magical knowledge.

The explanation and exchange of magic and Taoist arts were done by Jerry and Li Xiaolang in turns. On the first day, Jerry talked about magic, and on the second day, Li Xiaolang talked about Taoist arts.

Sakura and Tomoyo, on the other hand, are just listening in; how much they learn depends on themselves.

Sakura is born with the powerful magic left behind by Clow Reed. If she spends the time seriously, she can learn quite a few magics and Taoist arts.

As for Tomoyo, that depends on whether she has the talent to learn magic.

If one can learn meditation techniques or Li Xiaolang's Taoist cultivation techniques, one can absorb and store magic and mana within the body, and naturally learn magic and Taoist arts. If not, then one can simply participate.

However, judging from Tomoyo's appearance, she didn't seem to care much about learning magic and Taoist arts. Instead, she spent most of her time taking pictures of the group with a camera.

Perhaps in Tomoyo's eyes, the allure of magic was not as appealing as taking photos of Sakura!

An hour and a half later, Jerry finished his lesson on basic magic and meditation.

"Alright, that's enough about the theory for now. Next, I'll guide you through practicing meditation."

"Should I learn meditation techniques too?"

Li Xiaolang closed the magic book and asked a question.

In Li Xiaolang's view, magic power and magical power are actually the same kind of power, just with different names in the East and West.

The cultivation method he is currently using is the best cultivation method in the world, created by Clow Reed by combining Eastern and Western cultivation methods.

The meditation technique the other party is explaining is a Western cultivation method, which is theoretically inferior to the cultivation method he is currently using.

Jerry didn't hide anything from Li Xiaolang's question, but replied with a smile:

"Whether you want to learn it or not is up to you, but I want to tell you that meditation is not an ordinary cultivation method. It is a cultivation method that I learned from a very ancient tradition."

Perhaps his efficiency in absorbing magical energy isn't as high as your current cultivation method, but he has one major advantage: after cultivating to a certain level, he can achieve immortality!

"What? Immortality? Impossible!"

Li Xiaolang was shocked upon hearing this, while Xiao Ke, on the other hand, exclaimed in surprise.

Because Kero knows that there is no cultivation method in this world that can lead to immortality. Even his master, Clow Reed, cannot live forever. At most, he uses powerful time magic to freeze time.

However, they cannot have an endless lifespan.

But now Jerry says that practicing meditation can lead to immortality.
