When Rhine saw this system notification, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His relationship with Hermione had long since reached Close Friendship. He had been wondering when it might reach Life-and-Death Friendship.

Yet after they had gone through the Gringotts incident together, his first Life-and-Death Friendship had come about naturally.

As a reward for reaching Life-and-Death Friendship, it certainly did not disappoint.

The Five-Colored Stone in Deng Chanyu's hand was practically a causality weapon in Fengshen. Once launched, it always hit.

Top Chan Sect disciples such as Nezha and Huang Tianhua had all been beaten black and blue by Deng Chanyu's Five-Colored Stone and fled in disgrace.

And that was not all. Kong Xuan, the foremost being beneath the Saints, whose Five-Colored Divine Light was said to sweep away anything, had also been struck in the face by the Five-Colored Stone—and more than once!

Although the Five-Colored Stone could only wound enemies and lacked the killing power to directly kill someone, its record of repeatedly injuring Kong Xuan alone was enough to rank it among the top three Hidden Weapons in Primordial Fengshen.

And now, the cultivation method for this Hidden Weapon had fallen into Rhine's hands.

No matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, he could not suppress the wild joy in his heart.

If he could master it, even Dumbledore would be smashed black and blue by pebbles. Rhine would break his nose again!

Compared to the joy of obtaining the Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method, the other notification that should have made Rhine nervous seemed almost insignificant.

You accidentally sabotaged Daoist Duobao's plans in Chaoge City. Daoist Duobao has remembered your face. You and Daoist Duobao have entered an Enemy Relationship. Daoist Duobao is proud and arrogant and disdains cultivators with unremarkable Innate Foundations. Your foundation is ordinary, and Daoist Duobao has no desire to cherish your talent. Daoist Duobao is narrow-minded. Without any desire to cherish talent, anyone who offends him is courting death. Based on the above, your Enemy Relationship with Daoist Duobao has automatically become—Never-ending feud.

As Rhine looked at the lines of notifications, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Come to think of it, the system's judgment this time was rather accurate. Wasn't Voldemort the Daoist Duobao of the wizarding world?

Of the four founders' relics, he had laid his hands on three.

Of the three Deathly Hallows, he had gotten his hands on two.

No one in the entire wizarding world had more treasures than him. The identity of Daoist Duobao truly suited him perfectly.

But when he saw the blood-red Never-ending feud under Enemy Relationship, Rhine shook his head again.

Old Voldemort, you really are petty as hell!

Still, it was fine. He was in a good mood, so he would not hold it against him.

Besides, having a Never-ending feud with Voldemort was not such a bad thing.

Rhine looked at the rewards derived from Daoist Duobao's relationship network, and his gaze abruptly became blazing hot.

Destroy one of Daoist Duobao's natal treasures to obtain the reward—Fortune Blessing. Your fortune will be enhanced, as though aided by the heavens. Mysterious beyond mystery, wondrous beyond words. Destroy all of Daoist Duobao's natal treasures to obtain the reward—Innate Foundation. Your foundation will be elevated from that of an acquired lifeform to an Innate Foundation. You will gain the qualifications to cultivate Great Divine Abilities, while many acquired objects will find it difficult to restrain you. Kill Daoist Duobao and prevent him from reincarnating for eternity to obtain the reward—Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram. When used together with the four swords Immortal-Slaying Sword, Perilous Immortal, Slaughtering Immortal, and Absolute Immortal, this formation diagram can reset earth, fire, water, and wind. It cannot be broken unless all Four Saints arrive together.

Rhine took a deep breath, then another.

Yet even the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart could not contain his wild joy at this moment.

The Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method he had received from Hermione earlier had an impressive track record, but Deng Chanyu and Daoist Duobao were as far apart as heaven and earth.

The Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect was not famous for nothing.

These rewards were truly incredible!

Even Fortune Blessing, the simplest reward to obtain, was extraordinary.

In Primordial times, fortune was a prized treasure fought over by everyone. And fortune connected to Daoist Duobao—how could it possibly be anything less than immense?

In the wizarding world, it would probably be even more outrageous than a Protagonist Halo.

Turn calamity into fortune and danger into safety.

No matter what he wanted to refine, even if the odds were only one in ten thousand, with this blessing of fortune, he could succeed in one stroke.

Put simply, it was like a permanently enhanced Luck Potion!

As for the Innate Foundation, there was even less need to explain. In Primordial times, it was the highest-tier pedigree.

With such a foundation, cultivating all kinds of Great Divine Abilities and attaining profound cultivation would take half the effort for twice the result. It would also provide an enormous boost to one's strength.

It was practically like being born in the capital when taking the college entrance examination.

However, to obtain the Innate Foundation, it seemed he would have to destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Even though Rhine knew the plot, it would probably still take him a long time. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.

But for this reward, Rhine was willing to put in however much effort it took.

What was more, the reward for completely killing Voldemort was even more outrageous.

The Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram. It was the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram!

Unless four Saints attacked together, it could not be broken. It was said to possess the power to destroy heaven and earth.

If Rhine got his hands on it and managed to figure out even a little of it, Blue Star might be blown apart!

How could such a heavyweight reward not stir his heart?

The key was that it was not beyond his reach.

If he really were in Primordial times and had formed a Never-ending feud with Daoist Duobao, what reward could Rhine even dream of?

He would probably have nowhere to hide even if he fled across the nine heavens and ten lands!

But this was not truly Primordial times, and Daoist Duobao was not truly Daoist Duobao.

Voldemort was merely a treasure-delivering boy. Rhine was definitely going to kill him!

While Rhine was lost in ecstatic joy, Hermione in his arms was flushed crimson.

She had softly called Rhine several times since earlier, but Rhine had merely stood there with a rare foolish grin, as though something had made him extraordinarily happy.

Hermione's heartbeat kept accelerating, and an embarrassing thought surfaced in her mind.

Earlier, she had rejected her mother's suggestion to pack a few pretty dresses in her suitcase. But now, she felt it might actually be necessary.

What if Hogwarts really held a ball?

As Hermione's thoughts wandered wildly, the Aurors who had recovered from Voldemort's assault nervously rushed into the shop.

Scrimgeour, head of the Auror Office, wore an expression as gloomy as the rocks along the shore. But when he saw that the young wizards were unharmed, the tightly drawn string in his heart finally loosened.

"It's all right now. You're safe."

He forced out a smile with difficulty.

Then his gaze turned to Hermione and Rhine.

"Can you tell me what happened here?"

Hermione glanced at Rhine. Only after Rhine nodded did she recount everything that had happened before Florin Fortescue took action.

When she mentioned Florin Fortescue, Hermione's voice was filled with sympathy.

"He was only being controlled by the Imperius Curse. It was obvious that he didn't even know what he was doing!"

Scrimgeour cut her off.

"Whether he was controlled by the Imperius Curse is for the Ministry of Magic to determine. Of course, we will consider your testimony."

"What happened after that? And those Inferi?"

Hermione fell silent for a moment, and Rhine picked up where she had left off.

"She was probably fighting Florin Fortescue at the time and didn't know what was happening outside. But I was rushing over here to save Hermione."

"There were Inferi everywhere. I thought I could handle them, and I did use Incendio on one or two of them, but there were too many."

"For a moment, I thought they were going to kill me. Then I heard someone chanting a spell, and all the Inferi were wiped out by a powerful Fire Spell."

Scrimgeour furrowed his brow and pressed on.

"A Fire Spell?"

"What did you hear?"

Rhine answered with complete certainty.

"Fire God Paves the Way. That was what I heard!"

The next second, Scrimgeour's expression twisted as anger surged through his heart.

Dumbledore?

You already stepped in, so why didn't you catch the culprit?

You old bumblebee, have you eaten so many sweets that your brain has turned to mush?!

At that moment, Rhine spoke up.

"Sir, may I take Hermione and leave?"

"I don't think staying here is a good idea for her. She must really want to see her parents."

He was not merely saying it.

The scene truly was a complete mess, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

Not far outside the shop lay the body of an Auror killed by Voldemort's Killing Curse. Several other Aurors burned by Fiendfyre were groaning in agony.

Together with the earth-shaking cries of the rescued young wizards, it was a hellish scene beyond compare.

It had been fine before Rhine mentioned it, but once he did, Hermione's lingering fear flooded back. Tears began to stream from the corners of her eyes.

Naturally, Scrimgeour would not make things difficult for two young wizards. He even forced out a kinder smile.

"You two did well. Hogwarts will be receiving two outstanding young wizards."

"Once you graduate, if you are interested, you may consider becoming Aurors. You have the potential."

"All right, you can leave first. If we need to ask about any further details, I will find you again."

Rhine nodded obediently, then led Hermione away from Diagon Alley.

After taking Hermione home, Rhine returned to his own residence and clenched his hand tightly.

"System, claim the Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method."
