Chapter 118 Breakthrough! Entering the third level of flesh refining!

A bronze scale of fate appeared in front of Lin Xia.

She keenly discovered that the scale had changed a lot this time, and more parts were completed.

If it was a broken scale before, it can be barely called "shabby" now. Although it is still very broken, it at least does not give people a feeling of being too incomplete.

Several patterns on the scale were completed. Lin Xia carefully observed for a while, but found nothing.

She pondered, it seems that it is not time to touch it yet.

Just when Lin Xia wanted the scale to release the two strange objects, suddenly, her mind moved slightly, and she first operated the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records·Furnace".

In the last battle in Windmill Town, Lin Xia vented her magic without hesitation, fighting heartily, and temporarily suppressed the residents hiding in the floor, successfully entered the room, and suppressed the wizards and witches inside again.

In that battle, she used all her means, and while fighting, she also verified what she had learned.

Transfiguration, spells, physical combat skills... all performed in succession, from the heart, absolutely satisfied the requirement of "having a hearty battle", at that time, she had grasped a state vaguely.

When dealing with the red-dressed doll, the idea of ​​using [Healing Potion] to drench her was also thought out in that state.

In that state, her mind was as clear as a mirror, her thoughts were extremely calm and open, and she was in a wonderful state where she could both empty her mind and focus on herself, and integrate external information and analyze it quickly.

Then Professor Babelling and others arrived, and she withdrew from this state.

Now recalling the state at that time, Lin Xia found that she could easily enter again, so her excited mood quickly sorted out into a calm state, and she calmly watched the changes in her body.

The invisible magic power in the manor slowly gathered on Lin Xia, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of Lin Xia's absorption.

Her body became the center of the storm vortex, and the magic power farther away was mobilized to allow her to extract it.

In Lin Xia's body, the furnace method took effect, closing all the pores of her body, as if a huge lid was put on. The absorbed magic power could not escape and could only be forced to merge into her body.

A light "click" sound came, and Lin Xia felt relieved. The second level of flesh refining was broken through.

She entered the third level of flesh refining!

This level is extremely important and continues the foundation building.

Foundation building is described as the "foundation of enlightenment" in many classics, which shows its importance.

In the previous life, the "foundation building" in the family's skills refers to a method of using Zen and meditation to control essence, qi, and spirit to enhance strength.

In this stage, "stillness" is more than "movement", but the mountain skills in the five arts of metaphysics are also more still than movement, and "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records" is more inclined to health preservation than enhancing combat effectiveness.

The family needs strong combat effectiveness, but it also needs managers who can lead the family for a long enough time.

In that world, old age means more experience and more things to encounter, so the older you are, the more popular you are.

Lin Xia continued to practice "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records·Furnace" to stabilize the aura that had just broken through.

The furnace she researched can be practiced all the way to the foundation building stage, and after breaking through the foundation building stage, she will have to study the next step of the practice again.

Before that, Lin Xia wanted to read more books in the wizard world.

She believed that the wizard world should have some way to continuously enhance magic power through practice, but the way of "practice" would be very different from what she knew.

After the realm was stabilized, Lin Xia looked at the scale of fate again.

As the master of the scale of fate, her breakthrough also helped the scale of fate, and this help seemed very obvious at present.

Lin Xia found that the incomplete pattern of the scale of fate had been completed unknowingly.

It was a pity that Fairy Bai didn't bring it with her, otherwise it would be more obvious to observe it.

There were two objects floating on the scale of fate, one was a small puppet and the other was a pocket watch. Lin Xia reached out to the puppet first.

This strange object feels warm in the hand. It looks rough but is actually very smooth. I don’t know if it’s because of the scales of fate, but the puppet has been suppressed and automatically recognizes Lin Xia as its master.

Lin Xia held it for a long time and was slightly startled, as if she could feel the heartbeat from it.

Living object?

She thought about it, adjusted her breathing rhythm, and gradually overlapped with the heartbeat of the puppet.

After a while, the instructions for using the puppet came to her mind.

This is a puppet-controlled puppet, but unlike ordinary manipulation, this puppet has some "rules".

In other words, the puppet can control people to live according to the set rules (such as repeating the rules of living habits for a week), and the controller does not need to watch over them all the time.

Lin Xia’s eyes condensed slightly. This is why it was so difficult to find the abnormality of Windmill Town before.

Because people’s lives are very regular, if it weren’t for the radio, the Ministry of Magic would not have discovered it so quickly.

So, the culprit that caused Windmill Town to become like that was the puppet in her hand, not the Ministry of Magic’s acquisition of the red doll?

Lin Xia thought for a moment and shook his head. That's not how it works.

The red-clothed doll is also a puppet-shaped wonder.

The puppet can only control 5 people at present, but the population of Windmill Town is over a thousand. Maybe it's the effect of the two puppet wonders stacked together.

Since the puppet represents "rules", the red-clothed doll is probably more biased towards range, so there is an effect of 1+1\u003e2.

Lin Xia took out the "pocket watch" again.

This pocket watch is golden and has a huge eye on the surface.

When staring at the eyes, Lin Xia felt a slight feeling of being drawn into them.

The pocket watch could not be opened, and had a long thin chain, suitable for being held in the hand and shaken continuously.

After feeling it for a while in the palm of her hand, Lin Xia also felt a heartbeat of different frequencies.

She adjusted her breathing rhythm and breathed according to the heartbeat of the pocket watch. After a while, the function of this pocket watch emerged in her mind.

[Hypnotic pocket watch (gold)]: It can hypnotize people or objects to do what you want in your mind.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness. This item is quite interesting. It can not only control people, but also objects.

In terms of practicality, both strange objects are very practical. If the golden pocket watch is used properly, it may also get unexpected results.

Lin Xia suddenly realized that the male and female wizards in the room were probably not controlled by the puppet and the red doll, but hypnotized by the golden pocket watch.

The performance of these two wizards was more flexible than that of other residents. At that time, she thought that the level of control was different. Now she thought that they should be hypnotized.

Moreover, this hypnosis is very powerful. She didn't wake up from hypnosis even though she was injured like that. It has a profound impact on people.

Lin Xia looked at the Destiny Scale again. The Destiny Scale sent out a thought, asking her whether to choose sacrifice or storage.

Lin Xia's mind moved slightly, and she asked: "What is the difference between sacrifice and storage?"

The two scales on the Destiny Scale suddenly swung up and down, which seemed a bit smart.

"Sacrifice can plunder the rules of the strange objects into the Destiny Scale, and turn them into part of the strength of the Destiny Scale. It cannot be upgraded for the time being."

"Storage can give the strange objects to other people for use, and will not give any benefits to the Destiny Scale."

Although she said so, Lin Xia felt that the Destiny Scale had gained some benefits from these two strange objects, but if she didn't choose to sacrifice next, the benefits could not be expanded.

Out of her own needs, Lin Xia chose "storage".

Once sacrificed to the Destiny Scale, it obtained the ability of the strange objects and fed back some power to her. I'm afraid she can also gain some power accordingly.

Now she is not sure whether this power is good or bad for her.

She hadn't reached the foundation building stage yet, so her strength was not strong enough. The rules were too far away from her, so it was better to wait for the future.

Moreover, Voldemort was still in Hogwarts. If she kept the magic item, she could exert 100% of her power, not only for herself but also for her companions, which would facilitate team operations.

...

Next, Lin Xia began to spend the Christmas holiday.

She gave herself a week off, and apart from the daily training, she participated in many entertainment activities.

She didn't want to unpack all the gifts on the Christmas tree at once. She liked to reserve surprises for herself, so she only unpacked a little a day.

On the first day of the holiday, Lin Xia unpacked the gift from Aunt Narcissa, which was another brand new little skirt.

It was a red horse-faced skirt and a double-breasted jacket, with the collar surrounded by fluffy rabbit fur. When Lin Xia put it on, she looked like a New Year doll.

She went to Malfoy Manor as a guest, and Uncle Lucius also came back.

Maybe it was still during the holiday, so the uncle didn't say anything to them, and was in a good mood to wish her a happy Christmas.

The group went to the Muggle world to watch three movies. Lin Xia cooked a hot pot herself that day.

The next day, she continued to go to the Muggle world to see what products were launched to facilitate life.

Magic is very convenient. Her home appliances can be controlled by magic, but the styles are too old. Lin Xia likes to use the most cutting-edge styles.

On the third day, she finally opened the Christmas gifts given to her by Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Harry gave her a custom-made astronomical telescope. The telescope has a higher magnification than the school requires, and the appearance is very beautiful and elegant, which is her favorite style.

It should be said that Harry is very considerate among his friends.

Ron gave her an oriental recipe that he didn't know where he got it from. Lin Xia actually didn't quite understand it. As a pure oriental person, how could she read these recipes that were not as good as hers?

But this was his intention after all.

Lin Xia thought that next time she could remind this little friend that her cooking skills are really good and she can create her own dishes.

Hermione gave her a set of books, which were all books she had read and found very interesting.

Lin Xia glanced at the list of books and became interested. She thought she could exchange books with Hermione.

Hermione's books were all miscellaneous books, not involving any teaching content, so Lin Xia read them with great interest.

These books were carefully selected by Hermione after reading them. She had a good taste in reading.

She also opened the Christmas gifts from Draco and Cedric.

Thank God, Draco finally didn't give her a flying broom, although Lin Xia suspected that it was because the flying broom had not been released in the latest version, so he didn't give it to her.

Draco gave her a set of advanced magic cameras, which could insert other clips into the filmed videos and make various editing adjustments, which fulfilled Lin Xia's small wish of "I must make a movie in the magic world when I have time."

This kind of advanced magic camera must be specially customized and is very expensive.

Lin Xia seems to have a lot of money on hand, but in fact, doing research is very expensive, and she is always short of money.

Even if she has money, she dare not spend it recklessly.

Cedric gave her a book "Transfiguration Experience".

He knew that Lin Xia was going to compete for the Most Promising Newcomer Award in "Transfiguration Today", so he wrote down the guidance he had received from Professor McGonagall and what he saw and heard when he went to the headquarters for the competition.

This was very helpful to Lin Xia, and she could practice in advance during the winter vacation.
