I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 121: Book of the Dead, Recipe for Demon Refining Pills

"Um?!"

Rhine stopped in his tracks, rubbed his eyes, and couldn't believe what he saw.

Innate great supernatural power? !

This thing is extremely rare in the prehistoric world, and its number is almost comparable to that of saints.

If any kind of innate supernatural power appears in the ancient times, whoever can master it will be invincible except for the saints.

For example, the famous five-colored divine light, when used by Kong Xuan, is said to be able to wipe out anything, and it is so powerful that it is outrageous.

There is also the blood sea clone ability of the ancestor of the Styx, which is also his innate great magical power. He has cultivated 480 million clones of the Blood God in the Netherworld Blood Sea. As long as one clone is left, he can be resurrected with it.

This innate great magical power is said to be the best at saving lives, making the sea of ​​blood never dry up and the river of Hades never die!

This shows how powerful the innate supernatural powers are.

The system's vision isn't very good, but it's not so bad as to mistake low-grade things for those miraculous innate things in the magic world.

Even if Dumbledore's God of Fire led the way, the system would definitely not be able to reach the level of innate supernatural powers.

The fact that the system could determine that this opportunity was related to innate supernatural powers meant that the secrets held by Madam Pince should not be underestimated and were most likely related to ancient magic.

Rhine's heart moved slightly, and after a while, he came out carrying piles of banned books.

Madam Pince counted the number of books with excitement on her face and registered them one by one.

After seeing that the number of banned books that had been cleared exceeded one thousand, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.

"In the past 150 years, I am the first administrator to be able to remove so many banned books during my term."

"Rhine, thank you so much!"

A prompt also appeared on the system screen.

You have slain over a thousand demons in the Demon Cave, earning the admiration of the guardian Immortal.

[You and the guardian immortal have become close friends]

[You get a reward - Demon Refining Pill Recipe]

A hint of joy also flashed across Rhine's eyes.

Now that I have the formula for the demon-refining elixir, I finally have a suitable formula to assist in my cultivation.

Otherwise, if one relies on one's natural talent in alchemy to deduce a suitable elixir formula from scratch, it is normal to spend several months or even a year or two.

After all, this amount of time is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.

But for Rhine, this is a time span that cannot be ignored.

The better solution is to have a ready-made recipe and then optimize it with your talent in alchemy.

Then, Madam Pince looked at Rhine and said to him as if she had finally made up her mind.

"Rhine, your help to me is more than I can ever repay with a part-time job or a meager salary."

"I want to tell you a secret, a secret that has been pursued by generations of Hogwarts librarians for thousands of years."

"Even the past Hogwarts headmasters, I dare say, don't know as much about this matter as we librarians do."

Rhine looked at Madam Pince and saw a rare look of pride on her face.

Soon, she lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously.

"The collection of books in the Hogwarts Library is indeed very extensive. In every era of the wizarding world, it has always been the place with the richest collection of books."

"Students can find all kinds of magic here, even the most dangerous dark magic. In fact, all the masters of dark magic throughout the ages have more or less read the books in the restricted section of Hogwarts."

"The librarians know these books very well. We know which books were added or removed in which year."

"However, there are several books that have appeared in the Hogwarts Library since ancient times. However, after the Big Four, no librarian has actually seen these books. Even their names have been lost."

"We believe the Big Four must have covered them up, perhaps because they didn't want anyone to find out, or perhaps the magic within these books was too dangerous. In any case, they mysteriously disappeared from the library."

"This is a provocation to us librarians. How could there be books missing from the libraries we manage? So for thousands of years, we have been using various clues to speculate what those books are."

"Now that it's here, with your help in clearing out the books from the restricted section, and combined with the records left by the previous administrators, I can already confirm the origin of one of the books."

As Rhine listened to Madam Pince's story, he noticed the system's screen constantly updating. [It turns out the guardian immortal had discovered a secret opportunity within the Demon Cave and, having painstakingly deduced it for a thousand years, concluded it was related to a profound innate divine power.]

[I've seen you slaying demons and monsters in the Demon Cave these days without slacking off, so I'm making an exception and revealing this to you.]

Rhine clenched his palms slightly and looked at Madam Pince with a bit of curiosity and anticipation.

Madam Pince's expression grew more agitated, and her voice lowered even more.

"This book was obtained by the Four Great Beings during a very far-flung magical journey. They must have reached the present-day Middle East."

"There, they found an ancient magic book. According to legend, it was written by a mad Arab. The book is called..."

"The Book of the Dead!"

Rhine's expression suddenly became serious, and even golden light began to appear in his palms.

When Madam Pince said the name of the Book of the Dead, he felt that in the restricted area, there was a flash of crazy aura that came from the same source as the giant squid.

Even though it was very faint, as if it was sealed, it was still certain to Rhine, who had just experienced it.

Madam Pince now continued.

"I can also confirm that the other missing books were only found one after the Big Four obtained this book."

"But unfortunately, not long after that, the founder of Slytherin broke with the other three giants and left."

"Some of the other three giants also left Hogwarts, while others became seriously ill afterwards. These books also disappeared from the library during this period."

"Originally, I didn't know how long it would take to piece this together, but now, Rhine, it's all thanks to you."

"I think it won't take too long, at most ten years, before we can find all these books. By then, it might be a major discovery that will go down in the history of magic!"

Rhine took a deep breath.

He instinctively felt a sense of threat from Madam Pince's description.

To him now, there aren't many things in the wizarding world that can be considered a threat.

But the disappearance of the four giants may even be related to the "heavenly way" of the magic world. It is too weird, and Rhine dare not be careless.

Rhine said to Madam Pince seriously.

"Madame Pince, I believe the Four Great Ones must have their own reasons for sealing the books."

“Perhaps they didn’t want future generations to discover anything about these books.”

"Could it be that, like You-Know-Who, their names also carry a curse?"

Madam Pince was obviously frightened by Rhine's tone and the word "mysterious man". After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"You have a point. Okay, I won't actively pursue this secret anymore..."

Rhine looked at her with a gloomy gaze.

"I'm sorry, Madam Pince, I'm a cautious person."

Before Madam Pince could react, a Memory Charm hit her.

Rhine temporarily asked Madam Pince to forget the memory of those books before leaving the restricted area.

But on the way out, Rhine still looked solemn.

The sense of threat had faded a lot, almost to nothing, but it had not completely disappeared.

Trelawney's prophecy also came to his mind.

"The return of the ancients?"

Then, Rhine's eyes sharpened.

No matter how deep the waters of the magical world are, it is always a good idea to quickly strengthen yourself.

As a cultivator, taking elixirs is naturally the fastest way to increase strength.

Rhine whispered in his heart.

"System, give me the formula for the demon refining pill."
