Hogwarts starts with stealing power

After Lin Xia finished sending the letter to Fudge, she inspected the manor.

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

During previous holidays, she didn't often stay here at the manor, and many weeds grew wildly.

If it is not cleaned up, people outside will see it and think that the manor will be abandoned.

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

"Clean up!"

"The garbage is flying!"

"Cyclone Cleanup!"

"Bubble bomb!"

Ha, the "Bubble Bomb" used by Lin Xia is a modified version and has no real explosive power.

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

After spending an afternoon, Lin Xia cleaned up the manor and started making some training equipment.

When she returned to the manor this time, she still wanted to improve her archery skills.

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

There is no concept of "long-range archer" in the wizarding world, but archers in the wizarding world can play a long-range role.

Lin Xia was still very interested in being able to instantly kill enemies thousands of miles away without leaving home.

Wait until night comes, when all things are cultivating their health and recuperating.

Lin Xiacai summoned the Scale of Destiny in his study to see what kind of items were produced after sacrificing the energy of the corpses of Gres and the Basilisk.

——"Slytherin Soul Tempering Method"!

Lin Xia gently stroked the cover of the book. If he hadn't known in advance that this was a strange object, people might have thought it was just a simple book.

It is rumored that Slytherin owns a secret room in Hogwarts, and that secret room contains the treasures Slytherin left for future generations.

Lin Xia participated in the entire expedition.

She can guarantee that this secret room is exactly the same as the one she stayed in last time when she sacrificed the basilisk. The way to enter and the passage are exactly the same.

Last time, after she hastily sacrificed the Basilisk, Myrtle, Peeves, and Rooster, she got the chance to leave Hogwarts.

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

She had known for more than ten years that there was actually nothing in the Chamber of Secrets, including the coveted notebooks, Slytherin's experimental potions, etc.

The so-called notebook had long since decayed under the magic of time, and the experimental potions had lost all effect and were just a bunch of expired potions.

If other professors were to explore this secret room with high expectations, they would only be disappointed with their expectations.

Lin Xia tapped the book with her fingertips, her eyes filled with contemplation.

What she couldn't understand was how Hogwarts could have another basilisk when it was obviously sacrificed to her more than ten years ago.

And this basilisk...

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

It felt to Lin Xia as if it was forcibly produced by some kind of force.

Leaving aside the question of where this basilisk came from, Lin Xia focused her attention on the book again, and was about to open the book when she felt something in her heart.

She took out all the memory crystals from the traceless telescopic ring.

Just when she was about to open the book, she noticed something strange in the memory crystal.

Speaking of memory crystals, these are Voldemort's memory fragments, but every time they are used, they are accompanied by strong gibbering, and they must be purified by the balance of fate before viewing.

Otherwise she will be disturbed by gibbering.

The last time she used the Scale of Destiny to look at it, she found that the color of the Scale of Destiny immediately became much darker after looking at it.

So Lin Xia knew that the purification of the balance of fate was not unlimited. It had to lose 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 had to be stronger until she could physically 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 then slowly opened it.

While she was reading, the memory crystals floated up and merged with each other, turning into one huge memory crystal.

Then it gave off a burst of light and fell into the book.

After a while, the book that was originally just a text version actually turned into an image version under the projection of light!

What appeared in front of Lin Xia was Voldemort's youth, that is, 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 the reason why Voldemort was able to slice his soul into pieces continuously while still being very strong.

It is precisely because of practicing the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method"!

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

It's not that the legendary great wizard Slytherin didn't leave treasures in the Chamber of Secrets. The soul tempering method invented by Slytherin was the most valuable asset he gave to his heirs.

And Voldemort's method of achieving immortality was not just a forbidden spell. He first used the soul tempering method to make his soul unparalleledly powerful, and then he was able to slice his soul into pieces.

Lin Xia thought to herself, no wonder Voldemort sliced ​​his soul into pieces as if it was free of charge. 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 thus 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-leaving syndrome" will easily occur——

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

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

So, the reason why Voldemort is keen on slicing is also to ensure that he does not suffer from soul separation 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 study.

When the strength of the soul is greater than the strength of the body, stop immediately.

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

But as her body grew stronger, she felt that her soul couldn't keep up with her body.

In "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Secret Records", there is a saying that "heaven, earth, and man" correspond to the mysterious "essence, energy, and spirit" of the human body.

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

At this point, Lin Xia asked herself that after several rebirths, her body had become very strong.

Although the soul and spirit have grown, the changes brought about are definitely not that strong. You can practice other exercises appropriately to supplement them.

If he didn't encounter the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method" this time, Lin Xia also planned to practice another soul-related method.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia continued to watch.

After the image finished giving the general outline, it began to talk about the first cultivation point.

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

For example, "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Secret Record" is to open up various acupuncture points in the body and tap the potential of the human body.

But the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method" is actually a meditation method!

The animal to watch was none other than a giant flying python.

This giant python looks a bit like a basilisk.

Lin Xia couldn't help but wonder that the legend of the basilisk was an artificial magical creature created by wizards. Could it be that the prototype of the basilisk was this flying python?

Slytherin originally wanted to make this giant python, but because he couldn't make it, or because of some mistake, 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 Slytherin has not completely completed this method.

She read quickly and saw Slytherin's notes in Chapter 4, which was only 2/3 of the way through the book.

As for Voldemort's notes, she saw them at the end of Chapter Three, just before Chapter Four.

She couldn't read the next pages.

Someone must have practiced it and left their experience on it before they can read it.

Lin Xia waved her magic wand gently, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes.

If this soul tempering method was not created by Slytherin, where did it come from?

"Professor McGonagall once revealed that besides the wizarding world, there is another world. Could it be stolen from another world?"

No, maybe it was "borrowed".

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

At the same moment, here at Hogwarts.

The professors teamed up again and went through the pipes to Slytherin's chamber of secrets.

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

Snape's face turned pale for a moment. This time he was not the only Potions Master traveling with him, but also several other Potions Masters.

Some are professors at Hogwarts, some are professors elsewhere, and some are free people... No matter what, they all have extremely high potion literacy.

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

On the surface, it is said to be to check whether the basilisk killed in Hogwarts is a real basilisk to increase accuracy.

But actually, I want to share some materials.

Damn it, who leaked the news that Hogwarts was annihilating the basilisk?

Snape cursed inwardly.

He never expected that one day, he would fall into the hands of the little wizard.

When these potion masters came down, they didn't even look at Gleth's body, but looked at the basilisk obsessively.

"The texture is exactly the same as in the legend, and its eyes are what a pity. If its eyes are intact, then the value of this basilisk will be even more immeasurable. These eyes are the raw materials for making wonderful things."

The Potions Master couldn't stop praising him.

"Even if it is dead, it feels incomparably better. I thought the snake skin was rough, but it turned out to be very smooth."

"Yes, that's why I can swim silently in the pipeline. Oh, these eyes make my heart hurt just thinking about them."

"Wait a minute, the injuries on these two pairs of eyes seem to be different. One was blinded from the outside, and the other seemed to be damaged from the inside."

"Can I lift its eyelids and have a look?" a potion master asked it itchingly.

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

However, it was too late.

Some potion masters opened the basilisk's eyelids and touched the blood-stained pupils, which were no longer yellow-orange but turned gray-white.

But the next second, the potion master yelled, his hand was petrified!

Even if the basilisk is dead, it still has strong magic power!

The other potion masters took a small step back in fear, and then discussed it as if nothing had happened.

"With such a strong activity, it must be the basilisk. Only after the basilisk died, the pupils are still so powerful."

Even the potion master whose arm was petrified said with a smile: "My hand is the evidence. Considering that I was injured by mistake, give me more materials when I divide them!"

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

Only Snape frowned and 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 sac, he stopped.

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

Snape said solemnly: "It's very wrong. This basilisk is not as old as imagined."

Other potion masters looked over when they heard this.

Even other professors at Hogwarts were the same.

McGreg asked seriously: "What's wrong?"

Snape said: "I just dissected its stomach sac. I just touched it and found that its stomach sac was extremely fragile. It doesn't look like it should have lived for thousands of years.

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

After thousands of years, its stomach sac should have some indigestible things left. Also, did you notice that we didn't find its snake slough?"

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

Once this was said, other wizards were shocked.

Catalyzed 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 little wizard who was exploring that the fangs were embedded in the arm of a little wizard!

But the little wizard was able to pull out the fangs by his own strength. I think neither the bite force nor the toxicity can be compared with the real basilisk."

The other potion masters looked at each other, "This..."

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

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

Dumbledore said, "Are there any other evidences?"

Snape shook his head, "I have to dissect the basilisk completely to get the data."

Dumbledore said without hesitation, "Then dissect it!"

Other potion masters said, "Principal Dumbledore, we are willing to stay and help Professor Snape dissect it."

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

Other potion masters looked at each other again.

Snape said arrogantly, "No need for their help, I can do it alone."

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 others.

Under a bright moonlight, the office of the Minister of Magic.

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