Chapter 66: Not only technology, but also the development of magic requires boiling water

As for the question of how liquid magic power is transformed into gaseous state, there is also an even more advanced question, which is how Lin Zhenxi changes the state of magic power that has formed an inherent impression under his own visualization... Idealism is fine, after all, magic itself is a kind of idealistic power, so what's wrong with being more idealistic.

In short, Lin Zhenxi now only needs to lie in the center of the magic circle and let the magic circle drain his magic power. After being transformed by the magic circle and amplified by the amplification staff, the magic power will become gaseous magic power that has changed its state but is still controlled by Lin Zhenxi's mental power.

As we all know, liquids are incompressible. Forcibly compressing a cubic meter of water will only destroy its internal atomic structure, causing it to assume a metallic state. If the liquid is compressed to unlimited pressure, the first thing that will occur is fusion between the atoms. Then, electrons will be squeezed into protons, forming a miniature neutron star. If the compression continues, the neutron star will even become a black hole so small that it is almost unobservable, and then quickly disappear.

If Lin Zhenxi could compress her liquid magic, she'd be truly impressive. While liquid is the most convenient state to manipulate, it also limits the growth of Lin Zhenxi's own magic. Converting liquid to gas would be much easier. After all, gaseous matter is easily compressed. While converting liquid magic to gaseous magic will cause the magic itself to expand, which is why Lin Zhenxi chose this empty underground space for the conversion, expanding and then compressing it still frees up a significant amount of space for storing new magic. When needed, releasing the compressed gaseous magic would bring a wide range of elements under her control. Using elemental magic in this state would be far more powerful than when using liquid magic.

It only takes the resonance of elements at one point to ignite a wall of fire that even giant spiders bigger than trucks dare not approach. If this point is expanded into a sphere with a radius of tens of meters, what kind of grand magical miracle will be conjured?

Perhaps even the legendary magicians of the Age of Gods, such as Moses, Merlin, and Solomon, were no more than this. After all, myths always contain exaggerations, and what Lin Zhenxi could achieve in the future might be even more outrageous than those myths.

With hope for a bright future, Lin Zhenxi inserted the amplification staff into the groove of the magic circle. As soon as the staff made contact with the magic circle, it was firmly attracted to it. Then, as if coming to life, the previously interrupted lines of the magic circle scrambled to climb up the shaft of the staff, following it all the way up until they reached the orb at its tip. As the texture of the magic circle spread across the entire surface of the orb, the magic circle finally became complete, and the brightness of the lines instantly increased by an order of magnitude, becoming somewhat dazzling.

This is just the mysterious magic circle itself that spontaneously triggers the resonance of the elements. Apart from proving the extraordinary nature of this magic circle, it has no other meaning.

But then came the real show. Lin Zhenxi stripped herself completely, leaving nothing behind, and then lay naked in the energy pool of the magic circle, which was the perfect circle in the center of the magic circle specially prepared for her.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but grimace as her delicate skin felt the icy cold of the ground. But soon, she no longer felt the cold, for from the moment she lay down, the entire magical transformation ritual began. The first step in the transformation was a magic circle that drained all of Lin Zhenxi's magic power. The massive loss of magic power left Lin Zhenxi feeling like she was near death, suffocating, as if a thick syringe had been pierced deep into her body, draining her blood bit by bit. Her entire body felt icy cold, as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She couldn't even move her little finger or raise her eyelids, let alone call for help.

This feeling... am I going to kill myself here? Before completely losing consciousness, Lin Zhenxi asked himself with a hint of self-mockery.

Then she completely fainted.

Outside the magic circle, Yanyan helped Lin Zhenxi fold the clothes thrown to her neatly, and then she floated in the air and observed Lin Zhenxi's situation nervously.

The company's weapons were all soul-bound, whether it was the Elder Wand or the Witch's Book, all were tightly bound to Lin Zhenxi's life. Therefore, if Lin Zhenxi was gone, Yanyan's existence would also be erased, and her concern for Lin Zhenxi was absolutely pure. Seeing Lin Zhenxi's life force rapidly weakening, Yanyan was almost driven crazy by anxiety. However, the magic circle, which had already begun to operate, spontaneously formed a protective shield with its extremely high mysteriousness, eliminating any external interference that might hinder the ritual. So Yanyan could only lie on the shield, pounding with her fists. As for whether her anxiety was conveyed well, that was something only God knew.

The shield's function wasn't just to prevent harm; it also dispelled magical energy. Lin Zhenxi's magical energy was drawn out by the magic circle, amplified by the amplification staff, and transformed into a gaseous state. It was then immediately expelled from the shield by the magic circle. Thus, even as the concentration of magical energy in the underground space grew ever higher, the shield's interior maintained a near-vacuum magical environment, utilizing the positive and negative pressure differentials to squeeze out the last traces of liquid magic energy from Lin Zhenxi's body.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi hadn't fallen on hard times like Yang Yixiao in "Xiao Lin Guang Ji," who spent years tinkering with something only to end up killing herself. The transformation magic circle she'd spent years creating wasn't flawed in its design; she'd simply overlooked the pain of having her magic rapidly drained, a fate she'd ultimately wrecked. After draining all of Lin Zhenxi's liquid magic, the magic circle's reversal began.

The previous dissipation had been extremely slow, due to the process required to convert liquid magic into gaseous form. Lin Zhenxi was nearly dead, and the conversion hadn't even finished. But when the magic circle reversed, and a flood of gaseous magic began to pour back into Lin Zhenxi's already dried-up body, the process became incredibly rapid. The gaseous magic that had already filled the underground space, like a pool with a drain valve opened, began to collectively move in a certain direction. The "hole" was the magic circle's shield—more precisely, the milky white orb of the amplification staff embedded in it.

The orb was like a greedy whale, its mouth wide open, endlessly devouring the magic power in the surrounding air. This gaseous magic power constantly swirled and compressed within the orb, bearing the internal pressure, and the orb's own brightness also slowly increased.

Soon, the entire room returned to its original state, a clean, magic-free environment. All the gaseous magic was absorbed by the orb, and after processing it, it stabilized into a compressed gas with liquid properties in a bubble-free, sealed container.

The excellence of liquid magic lies in its high maneuverability, an advantage Lin Zhenxi did not want to abandon. Therefore, when designing the transformation magic circle, Lin Zhenxi considered using compressed gaseous magic to replace liquid magic. After all, the body is a sealed environment. Even if it is injured, it has no effect on the magic circuits within it. As long as the magic enters the body, there is no need to worry about pressure loss or air intake. Using compressed gaseous magic to replace liquid magic is theoretically feasible.

Because magic power was now compressible, Lin Zhenxi could be said to be constantly replenished with magic power. However, it also had the potential to grow. Unlike before, liquid magic power would no longer fill the magic circuit and cause the magic power to reach its upper limit. By increasing the control of magic power with mental power, the compression of magic power could be increased, allowing the magic circuit to accommodate more magic power.

It can be said that, except for the abnormal ones that require a high level of mental power, the compressed gaseous magic whose properties have changed after being transformed by great magic completely crushes the original liquid magic in all aspects of properties.

Moreover, Lin Zhenxi is not alone on the road to activating magic power, she has a teacher to ask for advice.

Lin Zhenxi's decision to transform her magic into gaseous energy was inspired by the Great Witch of the Seven Luminaries. In this regard, she had set a good example for her by freely transforming her magic. However, her control over her magic was completely unmatched by her at present, and likely never would be. This was because she could not only transform her magic into gaseous energy but also compress it, atomizing and liquefying it in the air, artificially creating stable magic tides, and even solidifying it into crystals in mid-air, the legendary Philosopher's Stone. This allowed her to create her own unique magical realm, recreating the great collision of heaven and earth and the creation of the earth, wind, water, and fire within her realm.

Although it was a little small, the great witch did create a new universe in the palm of her hand, which was simply awesome.

After completing its compression within the orb, the gaseous magic began to flow back along the lines of the magic circle toward the energy pool, refilling Lin Zhenxi's body. As the magic power filled up, Lin Zhenxi's life force, after experiencing a low point, began to rapidly recover, even quickly surpassing its original level and continuing its rapid sprint toward a higher peak.

Under the stimulation of the influx of a large amount of magic power, her body began to undergo some wonderful changes.
