Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 252: Reversal! The balance of fate strikes back strongly and merges completely with the Philosopher's Stone!
It seemed like we had entered a long tug-of-war.

Lin Xia's body began to stabilize under the continuous condensation of the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Furnace".

She no longer returned to the mother's womb of flesh and blood, but simply became a three-year-old child, and then continued to repeat the process of breaking, reorganizing, breaking, and reorganizing.

She just pushed the starting point to the three-year-old age range.

This is huge progress!

Lin Xia had a hunch that if she could stabilize the starting point of the endless reorganization cycle at her current age.

Then, the two forces of the scales of fate and the magician should be able to reach a state of balance.

Lin Xia continued to practice with full confidence.

However, three days later, her body misbehaved again.

At this time, she had already advanced her reconstructed body to the age of five, and was about to advance it to the age of six.

But at this time, Lin Xia discovered a fatal flaw.

That is, the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Crucible" that she practiced could no longer be deduced further!

Lin Xia suddenly realized at this moment that she had been trying hard to absorb strength from the two constantly collapsing and regenerating balances, and had leapt to the late stage of foundation building!

According to the family's inherited skills, everyone starts practicing from the Bait-eating stage and then moves on to the Foundation-building stage.

The foundation-building stage was already the limit that many people could reach in the previous life.

Going forward, one will need not only talent but also abundant resources. Often only aristocratic families can break through the foundation and reach the next realm: Xuan Dian!

Lin Xia was stuck at the final stage of foundation building and breaking through to the Xuan Dian realm.

After each breakthrough, she would use the Scale of Fate to create the most suitable furnace method for her practice.

During the foundation-building stage, she first broke through to the foundation-building stage, and then used the balance of fate to create her own skills.

But the Xuandian Realm is very special.

At least Lin Xia had a hunch that she couldn't break through to the foundation-building stage like the bait and then use the power of the foundation-building stage to reverse-engineer the subsequent exercises.

To reach the Xuan Dian realm, she must first have a method before she can continue to break through and practice!
At this time, the Scales of Fate were trying their best to fight against the Philosopher's Stone, and had no energy to help her create her own martial arts.

This is not the main thing.

The most important thing is that Lin Xia discovered that he had no knowledge at all to continue practicing!

To reverse deduce or create a method, the most important thing is to sacrifice a lot of knowledge and experience, and then deduce a path that is more suitable for you.

The prerequisite is that you have a lot of knowledge or experience.

In her previous life, she had reached the Xuandian Realm, so she had some experience.

But after reaching the Xuandian realm, this already involves mid-to-high-end combat power.

In the absence of hermit strongmen, the cultivators in the Xuandian realm are the strongest trump cards guarding each family.

Therefore, this also leads to the fact that all the noble families will not communicate with each other about the skills of the Xuandian realm.

At the same time, even her family has strict control over the Xuan Dian realm's skills.

The family has a total of three sets of Xuandian realm skills.

Ordinary family members can only learn one volume to practice throughout their lives, and have no idea about the contents of the other two volumes.

Lin Xia is also the young clan leader, with a special status and position. The family's scripture library is unconditionally open to her, so she knows how the other two Xuandian realms are cultivated.

But these are only three sets of skills.

Just relying on these three techniques, it is impossible to make a sacrifice, let alone fusion!

After all, the knowledge she possessed was too little!
So in the fight for control of the body... when she reached the age of five, Lin Xia knew that she could only control her body to this point at best.

Want to go further...

She saw no hope at all.

If she forcibly sacrificed knowledge to the Scales of Fate, it would only fail, and she might even be seriously injured by the backlash.

Although Lin Xia’s sacrifice has never failed so far, the Scales of Fate have also been very proactive in cooperating.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

A dog that bites never barks.

This time, the Scale of Destiny showed such ferocious fighting power when facing the Philosopher's Stone.

Only then did Lin Xia realize that her body had been controlled by the scales of fate without her knowing it.

If she continues like this, one day, she might become a puppet of the scales of fate!
So this time, Lin Xia had a hunch that she couldn't force the sacrifice, and the cost of failure would most likely be something she couldn't bear.

Things came to a standstill here.

Lin Xia didn't know what to do.

The days passed one by one again, and three more days passed.

It has been nine days since Lin Xia arrived at the Forbidden Forest.

She had forgotten all about school.

My life is in danger, so what’s the point of going to school?
Just as she was lost in long thoughts, suddenly, an ability that awakened from deep within her body was lit up!
Lin Xia didn't know when this ability appeared, nor did she know when it would arrive.

But she had a vague premonition that she must have reached the late stage of foundation building and appeared when she was only one step away from the Xuandian realm.

At the same time, this ability is very difficult to activate and requires full accumulation of strength. This time, it was with the help of the magic stone that it continued to exert its power and reappeared.

This ability was what she used when she first came to the wizarding world, to change her fate and sacrifice the basilisk.

The balance of fate is turned!

The weak defeat the strong!

As soon as Lin Xia noticed the emergence of this ability, he used it decisively.

Last time, even though she weakened the Basilisk several times and sacrificed Myrtle and Peeves, the Basilisk was still far heavier than them in the weighing of the scales of fate.

But by flipping it, the weight of the Basilisk became the value of Myrtle and Peeves, while Myrtle and Peeves gained the weight of the Basilisk.

So the judgment was passed and the basilisk was sacrificed successfully!

This time, she placed the scales of fate on the weighing plate.

Yes, although the Scales of Fate is a strange object, once its power is activated, it will no longer be disturbed by the Scales of Fate itself.

The power it unleashes is a bit like a balancing force under rules.

Even the balance of fate that activates abilities is contained within this rule.

So this means that when the scales of fate become ruthless, even itself can be sacrificed!

And this time, under Lin Xia's conscious control, she also placed the scales of fate on the weighing plate.

Lin Xia could sense that there was some resistance on the scales of fate.

It wanted to escape from Lin Xia's control.

But it has long been inseparable from Lin Xia. Either it controls Lin Xia, or Lin Xia controls it.

And now it is still under the control of Lin Xia.

So even though they were unwilling, the scales of fate were finally put on. Under the influence of the power of rules, even the Philosopher's Stone, which was as strong as it was, was bound by the rules of the scales and pressed on the weighing table.

The Philosopher's Stone could have escaped.

The power of this strange object is too strong, far stronger than Lin Xia, the Lord of the Balance. As long as it is stronger than the Lord of the Balance, it will not be disturbed by the rules.

Therefore, Lin Xia would often beat the magical creatures half to the point where they could be slaughtered at will before initiating the sacrifice.

But because of the power of the Philosopher's Stone, many of them were entangled with the Scales of Fate, making it impossible for it to escape and could only be constantly pulled closer...

Lin Xia watched helplessly as the magic stone continued to rush outward, while the iron chain transformed by the rules continued to pull inward.

The two were in a stalemate, and the Philosopher's Stone was pulled over little by little.

As soon as it hits the weighing pan, the balance changes immediately.

The left end of the scale, representing the Philosopher's Stone, fell heavily, while the right end, representing the scale of fate, stood up high.

Although I don't want to admit it, the gap is even bigger than the one between Myrtle and the Basilisk.

The scales of fate here at least gained some of the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

If it was someone who hadn't gained power before...

Lin Xia suspected that perhaps the previous scale of fate was not even qualified to stand on the weighing plate.

The moment the weighing result was finalized, Lin Xia decisively activated his ability and performed a flip!

There seemed to be a long creaking sound, and even Lin Xia felt that the flipping force was very difficult.

It seems like the rules are about to be shattered by the heavy pressure!
The iron chains formed by the power of rules that bound the Philosopher's Stone were full of cracks.

And the Philosopher's Stone was still jumping around, trying to break through the blockade.

But in the end, the reversal force still suppressed the Philosopher's Stone!
Even though it was difficult to flip, the power of rules still held up.

Flip successful!

The values ​​of the Scales of Fate and the Philosopher's Stone are swapped.

At this time, Lin Xia chose to sacrifice everyone without hesitation!
A surging force rushed into Lin Xia's body. This force had been transformed by the Scales of Destiny into a force suitable for her to absorb.

Although the force is very gentle, if the amount is large enough, it will turn into a huge wave.

Lin Xia's consciousness, which had finally been awakened, was once again extinguished by this surging force.

Her consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

The only thing she could do was to quickly repeat to herself before she was completely plunged into darkness: "I want to become a human, I want to become a human, I want to become a human!"

This silent recitation seemed to turn into an obsession.

When Lin Xia's body was undergoing unknown changes, it acted as a tiny seed, guiding the body to slowly change.

And the magic stone, under the crushing of the rules millstone, was completely integrated into Lin Xia's body.

……

same moment.

Draco here.

After much inquiry, he finally found a way to treat the side effects of the polyjuice decoction.

This method was given to him by his mother.

Draco said to Harry and Ron, "My mother said that this method was provided by my aunt. My aunt is very good at Transfiguration and taking Polyjuice Potion. She used to drink Polyjuice Potion as water.

My aunt tried to use the Polyjuice Potion to transform into an animal, and although the final result was a failure, needless to say, it was doomed to fail...but she found a way to quickly eliminate the side effects. "

Ron couldn't wait to ask, "What method?"

Draco: "Just drink the healing potion my aunt developed."

Harry felt that things were not that simple. "Where is the solution potion?"

Draco said with great regret: "This potion was developed by my aunt, and only my aunt can make it. She refused to tell me and asked me to exchange it for an equal amount.

I can’t think of anything I can use to exchange with her… Oh, I forgot to tell you, my aunt married into a pure-blood family, that family has not yet fallen, and she is also very rich.”

Ron frowned and said, "If money can't impress her, why not try some rare items?"

Although Harry was anxious, he felt that this was wrong.

"Ron, that is a rare item of the Draco family. We cannot use it as an exchange unless we can find another rare item."

Ron said helplessly: "Well, I had forgotten about it."

Draco sighed and said, "If she wanted an ordinary rare item, then it would be fine for me to exchange with her, but what my aunt wants is a very special rare item.

I don’t know if you have any impression, maybe you have never seen it, but what she wanted was a portrait of the former head of the family.

That portrait is a rare object with a very special function - it can answer any question, and the answers it gives are very accurate, it just depends on whether you accept them or not.

Those who can accept it will know the correct answer, while those who cannot accept it will go crazy the moment they hear the answer. "

Ron was confused: "Is the answer so shocking?"

Draco shook his head: "No, it's not the answer that causes this consequence, but another reason.

You can think of it as the price you have to pay when you get the right answer.

This rare item is very special to our family and it is absolutely impossible for us to exchange it.”

Ron had a vague impression when he heard this.

"I seem to know what this strange thing is. I once saw Lin Xia in Malfoy Manor. In order to lead us to find Harry as soon as possible, she went to a portrait.

We only know what Lin Xia said to the portrait, but we can't hear what she said. Are you talking about this portrait?"

Draco didn't expect this to happen. He nodded and said, "Yes, that should be it."

Draco muttered in annoyance, "That makes it even more hopeless."

Harry couldn't help but ask again: "Can't your aunt exchange it for something else? Doesn't she have any other needs?"

Draco spread his hands and said, "No, actually my mother and my aunt don't have a very good relationship. This time she went to communicate with my aunt because she saw that I wrote to her anxiously... so, you know."

Harry: “Okay.”

Ron sighed and said, "Then we can only rely on Lin Xia. Did Lin Xia say when she will be back?"

Draco shook his head solemnly: "I don't know, she didn't tell me where she was going, she just said she was going on a great adventure."

He thought for a moment and then said, "I'll think of another way to see if I can get the ingredients for the rescue potion. Maybe I can reverse engineer the formula."

From his reading of the forbidden book, he gained a branch of alchemy - strange alchemy.

The ingredients used in strange medicine are very strange and the effects they produce are also very strange. At the same time, there will definitely be side effects every time they are taken.

The side effects of weird potions are a bit more severe than those of ordinary potions.

But it can solve many strange problems, which are difficult to research with ordinary potions.

Harry asked: "By the way, Draco, what is your aunt's name?"

"Bellatrix Lestrange."
