I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 18: Consuming Wind and Dew, Magic Power Increases

As Rhine whispered "Claim your reward," the information on the system screen refreshed again.

A new talent called "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" has been added to the rewards list.

Then, Rhine waited for the change to happen.

But a moment later, a look of astonishment crossed his eyes.

Previously, whether it was receiving the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart or the Copper Skin Iron Bones talent, there would be immediate results.

Even with less noticeable talents like affinity with spirit beasts and metallurgy, Rhine could quickly feel their effects.

But if it weren't for seeing that this talent of "eating the wind and drinking the dew" had indeed appeared as a reward in the system bar, Rhine would have almost doubted its existence.

"Um?"

"Hey buddy, make some noise."

Rhein's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this talent cannot be used in the magical world?

For the next two hours, Rhine tried to figure out how to use his talent of eating wind and drinking dew, but he couldn't get the hang of it.

Just as he was feeling a sense of disappointment, thinking that his talent for living on air and dew might not be suitable for the magical world.

Flanders, the butler, knocked on the study door.

"Lord Rhein, I apologize for disturbing you."

"I noticed the light in your study has been on all day. You haven't eaten much today, so the kitchen prepared a late-night snack for you. Would you like something?"

At that moment, Rhine subconsciously responded.

"No, I'm not hungry yet..."

The next moment, he suddenly realized what was happening.

Ok?

That's not right!

Actually, he was already hungry when he was piloting the owl flying sword earlier, but the excitement at that time overcame his hunger, and he was thinking of eating something after he got back.

Why am I not hungry now?

No other talent could possibly be of any help in this regard, so the only possibility is the food he had previously obtained from eating dew and drinking the wind.

Looking at the system's description of this talent, Rhine gradually formed a conjecture in his mind.

In the ancient world of the Investiture of the Gods, cultivators like Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth simply by eating dew and drinking the wind. Not only did they not need to eat mortal food, they could also improve their cultivation.

But how can the spiritual energy of the magical world compare to that of the primordial wilderness?

The effects of eating wind and drinking dew are naturally not visible to the naked eye, but rather like a gentle stream, quenching one's thirst without one even realizing it.

Rhein frowned.

It saves you the trouble of eating and drinking, which is convenient in daily life, and you won't need to prepare food if you go on an adventure, so it still has some advantages.

But this was still far from the effect he had envisioned.

In his mind, this talent would allow him to absorb spiritual energy!

"According to the system, if it is combined with the talent of the essence of the sun and moon, the effect of assisting cultivation will be greatly enhanced, and perhaps then we will be able to sense energy such as spiritual energy."

"But is there really no other way...?"

Rhein felt a surge of resentment.

Then, his gaze turned to the window, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Drinking dew and eating wind, yes, this is certainly related to the wind and the environment in which dew is formed."

"Otherwise, why would Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao be in a famous and blessed place like Wuyi Mountain?"

"Of course it's because the feng shui here is good and the spiritual energy is abundant. If I could find an environment with even more abundant spiritual energy, the effects of eating the wind and drinking the dew would be even more obvious."

Rhine thought of the so-called Thirty-Three Heavens in the primordial world.

The higher you go, the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes.

Of course, the high places of the Thirty-Three Heavens are filled with fierce winds that can kill even immortals and gods. Even if rogue cultivators like Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao know that the spiritual energy in the heavens is abundant, they still dare not go up.

But this is the magical world now, where there are no dangers like gales. Although there is no such thing as the Thirty-Three Heavens, Rhine can try to go even higher and see if his talent for living on wind and dew will be enhanced.

Soon, at Rhine's command, the owl-shaped flying sword was once again formed.

As Hermes and other owls flapped their wings, the Rhine soared straight into the sky.

"high."

"It needs to be higher."

"Reach the highest altitude you can stay at."

As things on the ground gradually shrank and the clouds drew closer, a look of surprise and delight appeared in Rhine's eyes.

He could finally feel it; amidst the howling wind and the water droplets gathering in the clouds, a barely perceptible stream flowed into his body.

It was a refreshing feeling that quenched thirst wherever it passed, and Rhine's drowsiness disappeared, leaving him refreshed.

"It works! It really works!"

"But that's not enough. The cool airflow is too weak; it only relieves thirst and fatigue."

"But what I want is to improve my cultivation level."

Rhine's gaze was firm as he urged the owl sword to reach its maximum height once more.

At the same time, he had a sudden inspiration and used his Wind Control talent.

The further increase in altitude, coupled with the use of the Wind Control talent, finally brought about a qualitative change in the effect of the Wind and Dew Drinking talent.

The latest novel is first published here!

A much stronger, cool current flowed into his body from the air.

Then, most of this airflow was poured into Rhine's skin, flesh, and bones.

A golden-bronze sheen appeared on his skin, which seemed to be enhanced slightly as the cool air flowed in.

Rhein's heart skipped a beat.

"I'll tentatively call this cool airflow 'spiritual energy'."

"Is this spiritual energy enhancing my innate talent of having an indestructible body?"

"That's right, the demons in the primordial world also strengthened their bodies by eating the wind and drinking the dew and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon."

"Yuan Hong must have cultivated in this way before he obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."

"If I continue cultivating like this, perhaps after a long period of time, I can reach the strength of Yuan Hong, that ancient, exotic white ape?"

However, Rhine only thought about it briefly.

It has a strong presence even in the primordial world, so how could it be easily born in a place like the magic world?

Even if I were to live on air and dew for a thousand years, I might not be as good as Yuan Hong, who cultivated in the primordial wilderness for ten years.

However, the enemies Rhine faces are not the powerful beings from the primordial era. His current copper skin and iron bones are already extremely strong, and if they continue to improve, this physical body will be enough to deal with most of the dangers in the magical world.

Moreover, he also sensed that some spiritual energy was flowing into his bloodline.

Originally, his magical aptitude was quite mediocre. Even with the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart talent, it only enhanced his magical control and learning abilities.

However, magical power is an innate talent, related to bloodline, and even a genius like Qi Ao cannot change it.

But now, with the influx of spiritual energy, Rhine felt his magical power slowly increasing.

The difference is small, but it does exist!

His face immediately lit up with joy.

"It can even increase magic power?"

"No wonder it's a talent from the primordial era; this ability to absorb and release spiritual energy is truly amazing!"

Having experienced the miraculous effects of the talent of eating wind and drinking dew, the importance of this talent in Rhine's heart also increased dramatically.

In the primordial world, this talent was utterly worthless, easily crushed by those with a seven-aperture exquisite heart or an innate Dao body.

But in the magical world, those high-end skills are useless; instead, the rogue cultivator's talent of "eating the wind and drinking the dew" is more practical.

This is the only way I can absorb spiritual energy before I obtain a proper cultivation method!

It can enhance both magical power and physical strength; it's practically a diligent way to support a whole family!

Oh right, there's also the Sun Essence and Moon Essence talent, which is found on Roberts the Owl in Hogwarts Schoolhouse.

Once you get it, combined with the Wind and Dew, Rhine's speed of absorbing spiritual energy will be greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Rhine couldn't wait for Hogwarts to start school.

He wants to learn magic, and he also wants to cultivate immortality!
