Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

After taking out all the spirit stones below the highest grade, Lin Yu and Hermione finally advanced to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, there are many "remainders".

To advance to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, each of them would only need 100 million low-grade spirit stones' worth of spiritual energy.

At this moment, Lin Yu still had 9,998 top-grade spirit stones and eight drops of spirit liquid equivalent to 800 top-grade spirit stones.

If you continue to use it for cultivation, it can indeed improve your cultivation level.

But Lin Yu didn't do that.

Even though he and Hermione are now incredibly talented and cultivate supreme techniques, there's no need to worry about their foundations being unstable.

However, it is better to take things one step at a time and proceed steadily, rather than advancing three levels of cultivation in a short period of time.

Not to mention, they also have the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique, which also enhances their divine sense.

So the two stopped improving their cultivation and instead began cultivating the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique.

With their current Foundation Establishment Stage 4 cultivation level and the greatly strengthened Divine Sense Seed, they felt that cultivating the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique was twice as effective with half the effort.

At the same time, Lin Yu took out a teapot and poured two cups of tea for the two of them.

This is no ordinary tea; it is the Enlightenment Tea.

It came from the super gift pack given by the system before; there were three catties of Enlightenment Tea alone.

This is an extremely rare and precious artifact. No matter which fantasy world it is placed in, it would be a treasure worthy of causing a bloodbath.

Enlightenment tea can calm the mind, clear the spirit, and make it easier to enter the path of enlightenment.

The Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique is a method for cultivating divine sense, and its effects are enhanced when combined with Enlightenment Tea.

As the two once again entered a state of cultivation, the seed of their divine consciousness continued to grow stronger.

Just like the cultivation realms, if the cultivation realm is the lower dantian, then the seed of divine consciousness is the foundation of the upper dantian.

According to Lin Yu's conjecture, once the seed of divine consciousness "bears fruit," it will be the first level of perfection, a sign of breaking through to the second level.

The second level of the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique is the transformation of divine thought into form.

Divine consciousness becomes almost tangible. At that point, divine consciousness condenses into a physical entity, capable of capturing objects from a distance, inscribing talismans and setting up arrays, and controlling hundreds of swords with a single thought.

Divine sense can truly kill without leaving a trace.

The time spent cultivating passed quickly, and the two of them didn't know how much time had passed before they woke up again.

"What time is it now?" Hermione asked.

Lin Yu shrugged: "How could I possibly know things you don't even know?"

The two smiled at each other and stood up at the same time.

When they came out of the Requirement room, they found that it was already dark outside and the corridor was quiet, obviously long past curfew.

The two held hands, and although they hadn't had dinner, they didn't feel hungry.

Using the fat man's password, they returned to the Gryffindor common room, lingered in the downstairs common area for a while, and then reluctantly returned to their respective boys' and girls' dormitories.

Nothing more was said that night, and the next morning arrived.

Today is November 3rd, Sunday.

Because Gryffindor won a resounding victory in yesterday's Quidditch match, and Lin Yu caught the Golden Snitch within five minutes.

So Wood stopped nagging the players to train and instead gave them more rest time, which was a rare treat.

The twin brothers were acting mysteriously early in the morning; they planned to go to Hogsmeade Village to play.

"But isn't Hogsmeade Village only open on Saturdays?" Hermione asked as she came downstairs to Lin Yu's side.

Lin Yu raised his right hand and let Hermione sit on the armrest of his chair, then pulled her close to him.

Hermione yawned.

"Didn't sleep well?" Lin Yu asked, as he naturally reached out and hugged Hermione's waist, making her more comfortable leaning against him.

Hermione muttered, "Crooked Mountain is throwing a tantrum because I came home late last night."

Crookshanks have cat-like bloodlines and are even smarter than Huru.

Or rather, Crookshanks were very reluctant to see Hermione break school rules, such as hanging out outside during curfew.

Hermione had to use a lot of persuasion to finally get Crookshanks to fall asleep.

When she wanted to sleep, she found that it was already dawn.

In order to see Lin Yu and not want to be separated from him, Hermione simply didn't sleep. When she heard him making noise downstairs early in the morning, she quickly washed up and went downstairs.

"You two have such a good relationship," Fred blurted out.

George chimed in, "They're just too lovey-dovey. Some people are betting on when you two will break up."

Lin Yu scoffed, "Are you bored? Why did we break up?"

They have a great relationship.

They really can't stand seeing others do well.

The twin brothers exchanged a glance, shrugged, and said, "We have something good, and we know a secret passage to Hogsmeade Village. Do you want to come?"

"Forget it," Lin Yu shook his head. "Just like when you wanted to take me on an adventure in the Forbidden Forest, I always felt like you weren't up to anything. So I'll decline."

In fact, Lin Yu had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. The twins' so-called secret passage should be the Screaming Shack, right?

There is an entrance under the Whomping Willow, and that passage leads directly to the Screaming Shack in Hogsmeade Village.

Lin Yu wasn't particularly curious about Hogsmeade Village; it was just a gathering place for wizards. Relatively speaking, Lin Yu was more drawn to futuristic, technologically advanced cities.

Unfortunately, it's still 1991 now. We'll have to wait until after 2000, after the millennium, for the period of rapid technological development to begin.

Speaking of which, in a few years, should he go back to China and invest in two guys surnamed Ma?

For example, Jack Ma and Pony Ma?

I just don't know if they even exist in this world.

After all, this is Harry's world, not the real world.

Otherwise, perhaps he could find Aunt Rowling and ask her to help modify the rules or something?

How about adding some spiritual energy? Or creating a blessed land?

As Lin Yu was pondering these random thoughts, he heard the system's voice in his mind: "Daily task: Fishing in Black Lake. Task completed, reward: 100,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Yu paused, thinking to himself, "System, are you not going to keep up the act anymore?"

Fishing in Black Lake isn't for catching spirit pets anymore?

Moreover, as Lin Yu's cultivation level reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the number of spirit stones awarded also increased.

Is it directly 100,000 low-grade spirit stones?

It really has to be the system.

"Let's go have breakfast first," Hermione stood up, then turned around and took Lin Yu's hand, pulling him up from the chair.

The young couple greeted the twins, held hands, and walked out of the rest area, intending to go to the restaurant to get something to eat first, and then talk about fishing at Black Lake.

"Speaking of which, Black Lake has already started to freeze over, right? Mercus should be hibernating by now, shouldn't it?" Lin Yu muttered.

Hermione smiled to herself, knowing that they always managed to catch Mercus whenever they went fishing.

I don’t know if it was Mercus’s doing it on purpose, but even though they often change positions, they always manage to catch Mercus.

Then Lin Yu and Merkus would both curse and swear.

Hopefully, Merkus won't get caught this time.
