Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 141 [Taoist Knowledge (Red)]

In the middle of the night, in the deserted corridor of the castle, a vague shadow flashed by.

Ted was still worried.

When the secret room was opened today, the words on the wall that were different from the original content really made him a little worried.

Logically speaking, a little butterfly like me shouldn't be able to affect this.

Senior Tom had just awakened from the diary state and shouldn’t be affected by me.

The changes in the words he left behind might mean that something unexpected happened that he was not aware of.

Ted thought about it again and again, and finally decided to check it out.

So, he appeared in the abandoned women's washroom on the third floor of the main tower. He first used his psychic power to sense the mental body, but there was nothing!
There seemed to be no thinking thing in the bathroom.

Then the spiritual crystal servant Parker crawled in through the crack of the door. With Parker's help, Ted looked around, but there was nothing.

Ted went into the bathroom, remaining invisible.

what happened?

Where's Myrtle?

Ted did a quick search and found that the faucet with a little snake carved on the side was the same as in the original book, but Moaning Myrtle, the resident ghost in the ladies' room, was not there.

Ted searched in vain and quietly retreated.

He planned to use his connections among ghosts to find the missing Myrtle indirectly.

……

The next day was already November 11st.

Ted opened his eyes and received this month's otherworldly knowledge.

"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [Taoist Knowledge (Red)] is discovered."

[Taoist Knowledge (Red)], the cultivation experience of a Taoist master during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It costs 1300 experience points to redeem.

"Red quality!"

Ted was startled and quickly got up, dressed, and left the dormitory to avoid waking up his roommates.

After arriving at the common room downstairs, I took a deep breath to calm myself.

In fact, I haven’t yet digested the knowledge about transformation that I learned last month.

This thing is worthy of being one of the Druid's treasures. The transformation technique is indeed very profound.

Ted even felt that he would need to study it for two or three years.

I didn’t expect that there would be something more high-end!

This is the first time I have seen red quality knowledge. It requires 1300 experience points! It's expensive!
I wanted to save up experience points to upgrade, but I didn't expect that the exchange consumption would be used up first to upgrade.

But it's a rare opportunity, so you have to give it a try.

"System, exchange."

This knowledge exchange is different from previous ones.

Before, information would appear directly in my mind, and then I would slowly think about and organize it.

But this time, Ted felt as if his thoughts were sucked away. He followed a blurry figure in a Taoist robe and a bun, and watched him in a fast-forwarded way as he woke up from the mortal world and sought the truth everywhere, became a disciple, experienced hardships, encountered opportunities, slayed demons and monsters, and rested and practiced hard...

However, this Taoist priest whose face could not be seen lived to be over 110 years old and still failed to attain enlightenment.

Finally, he wrote a Taoist book that was passed down to later generations, and then he sat in seclusion in a cave on a cliff, never to come out again.

It was not known how much time had passed before Ted suddenly came to his senses. He stared at the blue ceiling with stars and moons carved on it and gasped for breath. He felt a little dazed for a moment and could not quite tell where he was.

I didn’t realize I was just a guest in the dream. I followed the Taoist priest and watched him practice hard for most of his life. I didn’t even notice the passage of time! I even forgot my own existence?!

After a few seconds of calm, Ted finally calmed down and said softly, "Parker, what happened to me just now?"

After a few seconds, Parker's voice appeared in his mind: "Master, there is nothing wrong with your body, you just seemed to be in a daze for a few seconds. But your mind suddenly stagnated, as if you were in a deep coma. I tried to wake you up, but you didn't respond..."

Ted frowned slightly.

Although I have long felt that some knowledge from other worlds may be dangerous.

But I didn't expect to encounter it so once.

In fact, it was not dangerous, but the knowledge gained this time was undoubtedly extremely powerful. It even made my mind experience an indescribable experience.

This is the red quality! If I completely forget my own existence and can't wake up, won't I just disappear?

There are purple, orange and gold coming later!
I can't be careless, I have to be extremely careful.

However, the harvest this time was still great.

Taoism has a lot of systematic knowledge, including techniques, alchemy, magical instruments, talismans, divination, feng shui and so on.

However, the difference between the magic system and the magic system is too great, so I can only draw inspiration from it and try to integrate it into the magic system.

The real gain was following that Taoist master on his journey of seeking the truth for nearly a hundred years.

Ted even felt that his spiritual power had changed as a result, as if it had become more solid and flexible... although Ted had already determined to follow the path of magic.

But which young man in China has not thought about flying on a sword?

It shouldn't be a problem for me to research some information about flying swords and simply fulfill my childhood dream, right?
That nameless Taoist priest really has some skills in sword ball.

Use some rare metals to make a sword blank, then swallow it into the stomach and refine it with a mouthful of innate Qi.

The difficulty of this thing lies in the fact that it consumes too much energy.

Ted saw with his own eyes that the Taoist priest spent five or six years collecting materials, and then spent another three years refining the sword embryo. Only then was it considered a complete work, which he swallowed into his stomach and nurtured in his dantian.

When used, a sword energy flies out from the mouth and nose, which can cut gold and jade. It is the number one killing method for slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

The Taoist priest spent so much energy in refining the sword in order to get rid of a demon who was harming lives. It took him more than ten years to completely eliminate the demon and defend Taoism.

But how many decades are there in a lifetime?

Although the sword pill is powerful, the sword immortal's methods are ultimately only methods to control demons and cannot reach the great way.

It is hard to say whether the Taoist priest would have been able to attain enlightenment and become an immortal if he had not wasted these most precious and essential ten years.
Of course Ted couldn't have spent that much money on that.

The sword ball is powerful, but the killing avatar is enough. If it is not enough, then there is the spell effect avatar. Isn't it simple?

Ted was just curious whether he could use alchemy and magic to imitate the sword master's methods.

Although it's a bit fanciful, magic is very versatile.

Moreover, I actually have similar examples to refer to.

That's Aunt Molly~
That's right, Mrs. Weasley, Aunt Molly.

Ted once visited her humble room and saw with his own eyes her using her magic wand to direct three kitchen knives to fly up and down, cutting vegetables, meat, and bread respectively. It was simply amazing!
If she can make the kitchen knife cut vegetables by itself, she can also make the kitchen knife chop people by itself!

If you can let multiple kitchen knives chop people by themselves, wouldn't that be the Ten Thousand Swords Technique?

Ted put aside his wild thoughts and went for a run.

Life must go on, and knowledge must be digested bit by bit. When the time is right, everything will come naturally and there is no time to rush.

……

When Ted arrived at the Black Lake, Neville had already started warming up.

Ron and Jerry didn't come.

"Where are they?" Ted asked.

Neville: "Ron is not feeling well, Jerry is staying with him."

Ted shook his head. It seemed that his friends had been a little slack lately.

How can you sleep at this time? It seems that my special training plan has to be put on the agenda again.

After morning exercise, I cleaned up and went to the auditorium to have breakfast.

Ted and Hermione were halfway through their meal when Ron and Jerry arrived.

Harry was eating a sausage with great enthusiasm while asking, "Why are you here so late? If you come any later, there will be nothing left to eat."

Ron looked grim, as if he had lost the few silver coins he had.

Jerry also explained angrily: "We met Peeves on the road and were harassed by him for more than ten minutes! He also threw a dung ball at us. We went back to change clothes, so we were late."

When the little wizards around heard about this, they all felt the same way.

They are already second-grade students and are very familiar with the school.

And Peeves was more familiar with them.

Student: You bullied me in the first grade, and you bullied me again in the second grade. Didn’t I get promoted in vain?

However, Peeves is no ordinary being. He can switch between reality and illusion. He is not a ghost, but a special spirit.

Ted even read a record in a book: Hundreds of years ago, a very serious school principal didn't like Peeves and planned to expel him. This was like stirring up a hornet's nest!
Peeves suddenly entered a strange state. Instead of expelling everyone, he just beat a hundred people at once and turned the school upside down.

Hogwarts even had to suspend classes for three days. Finally, it signed a magic contract with Peeves and acknowledged his status.

So ordinary students really have no choice but to accept his teasing.

However, he also treated people differently according to their status, and was especially polite to class leaders, top students, professors, and the principal.

From Ted's observation, he was not very polite to Quirrell last year and Lockhart now.

Ted speculated that this differential treatment was most likely due to the students' attitudes.

Peeves is most likely an elf formed by the will and magic of generations of naughty students gathered in the castle.

So he instinctively agreed with the students as a whole.

So people like Quirrell, Lockhart, and later Umbridge, who were unpopular, would be targeted by him.

But no matter what, he can't be allowed to bully his friends!
Ted thought about it for a moment, then remembered the Taoist knowledge he had just obtained that morning, which was still warm, and thought that maybe he could give it a try.

"Maybe I can find a way..."
