Chapter 91 New Discovery of Transfiguration

On the afternoon of October 10, Yang Tian, ​​who had been in Hogwarts for a month, came to Professor McGonagall's office, which he was very familiar with. During this period, Professor McGonagall often used his spare time to teach Yang Tian Transfiguration, and the results were very significant.

Look, while Professor McGonagall hasn't come back yet, Yang Tian has been patiently turning a crystal cup into a fire ash snake.

As soon as the spell was successfully cast, Yang Tian decisively cast a restoration spell, and repeated it over and over again.

"Yang Tian, ​​you have mastered the transformation of non-living things into living things very well, and you are now studying the transformation of living things into non-living things. But why do you still put more energy into the practice of the transformation of non-living things into living things? Are you very interested in this part?"

Professor McGonagall, who had just walked in, asked after seeing Yang Tian's practice.

Yang Tian, ​​who was immersed in practice, was awakened by Professor McGonagall's words. He quickly stood up and greeted Professor McGonagall before saying with a hint of hesitation: "Although I have become proficient in transforming non-living things into living things, I cannot restore the abilities of some living things."

As he spoke, Yang Tian transformed the crystal cup into a fire ash snake again, and said distressedly: "Look, it's just for show, it doesn't emit a blazing light, it can't absorb flames, and it can't ignite anything."

Hearing Yang Tian's words, Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Yang Tian, ​​I thought you had a clear understanding of Transfiguration, but now it seems that you don't. You have to understand, kid, we are transforming objects, not creating life. Ability is based on the continuation of life, and it is the perfect unity of life, soul, and body. Just like magic, with the same body structure, wizards can perform it, but Muggles cannot."

"Professor, I don't quite agree with your point of view. In my opinion, this is not an ability, but a function. It is the inevitable result of the perfect presentation of the internal structure."

As Yang Tian argued, he turned the crystal cup into a large transparent fish tank, poured clean water into it, and then turned a feather pen into a fire-breathing fish.

The transformed fire-breathing fish was swimming happily in the fish tank, looking very happy.

Yang Tian did not use any magic, but simply tapped the wall of the fish tank several times with his wand.

The fire-breathing fish swam a few times as if it was frightened, and then a cluster of blue flames spurted out of its mouth, which was very gorgeous.

"Like this, although it is a transformed fire-breathing fish, if every detail of it is perfectly presented, such as cells, bones, matter, etc., then it is inevitable that it has the ability to breathe fire."

Professor McGonagall's eyes were wide open at this point, and she looked incredulous.

There were two aspects of Yang Tian’s demonstration that shocked her. One was that the fish had the ability to breathe fire, not through a wizard’s magical simulation, but rather through a functional closed loop formed within the fish’s body.

The second is that the transformed fish can change its state autonomously due to the external environment without being controlled by the wizard's magic power. Just like now, because the wall of the fish tank was knocked, the fish changed from swimming freely to being frightened.

In Professor McGonagall's opinion, these two points are manifestations of life and should not appear in Transfiguration under any circumstances.

"Can you tell me how you did it?" Professor McGonagall asked in shock and anticipation.

"Of course, I found that the texture of the six points under the gills of this fire-breathing fish is different from that of other positions. After calculating with the formula..." Yang Tian began to explain incessantly.

After hearing Yang Tian's explanation, Professor McGonagall's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with the fish's stress response?"

“In fact, I prefer to understand that this is the fish’s body’s nervous reaction when it is vibrated by water, similar to the knee jerk reaction. This is directly related to the texture changes at four points in a line on the fish’s spine. Calculated using a formula…” Yang Tian began to explain again.

In fact, Yang Tian didn’t say everything. He just showed Professor McGonagall a few points on the fate line using the method of Transfiguration.

This matter is quite interesting. Just a few days ago, Yang Tian, ​​who had mastered the art of transforming non-living things into living things, had a sudden idea and moved the lifeline into the transformed living thing.

As a result, a magical thing happened. After the transformation, the creatures were able to exert almost all of their functions, just like the fire-breathing technique of the fire-breathing fish, the soil-eating technique of the Kara blind snake, and the swimming technique of the short-nosed sea snake.

Of course Yang Tian knew that these things should not happen in transfiguration, but it actually happened. This discovery made him inexplicably excited.

But when Yang Tian conducted further experiments, problems arose. When experimenting with the evil bird, the bowtruckle, the fire ash snake, the Niffler, etc., although some functions could be barely restored through the implantation of lifelines, the effect was drastically reduced, even close to zero.

For example, the transformed Nifflers were unable to detect the hidden Galleons and could only collect the ones that were on the surface.

The heat released by the transformed fire ash snake was not enough to ignite objects, and it couldn't even serve as a warm pack in Yang Tian's hand.

What's even more outrageous is that in the process of swallowing the flames, the transformed fire ash snake actually ignited itself due to the high temperature of the flames, and turned into a damaged appearance before the transformation.

Yang Tian racked his brains but couldn't figure out what the problem was. He could only practice more in his spare time in the hope of discovering the secret.

Now, his practice has aroused the interest of Professor McGonagall, who keeps asking about the details; and Yang Tian also urgently needs an expert in Transfiguration to give him new ideas.

So, they ran towards each other and soon they were chatting enthusiastically...

Professor McGonagall was indeed a master of Transfiguration. With Yang Tian's explanation, she quickly mastered the improved version of the Transfiguration Firefish, which made her even more excited.

Of course, this does not mean that Professor McGonagall has mastered the fate of the fire-breathing fish. The fate is the common feature of thousands of the same species. It seems simple, but in fact it is ever-changing. Any slight difference will result in different individuals.

And what Professor McGonagall possessed was a unique individual of her transforming fire-breathing fish model.

Professor McGonagall said excitedly: "Merlin, Yang Tian, ​​I have to say that you have discovered a great secret. It can even be said that you have created a new history of Transfiguration. You will be remembered."

Yang Tian said helplessly: "But I can only use it on transforming ordinary creatures at present, and I can't achieve the same effect after transforming magical creatures."

Mag smiled and consoled him, "This is normal, Yang Tian. Any new discovery or new research direction requires continuous follow-up research and accumulation. How can it be achieved overnight?"

After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall said, "Yang Tian, ​​your talent in Transfiguration is beyond doubt. Starting this week, you will join my Transfiguration Club. There will be excellent seniors studying with you and promoting each other. I believe that your Transfiguration will improve by leaps and bounds, and you will soon solve your doubts."

Yang Tian nodded his head when he heard this. Unconsciously, his interest in Transfiguration became extremely strong. This seemed to be one of the intersections of Eastern and Western magic. His advantage in this area was unparalleled...
