Collection Complete, King's Cross Station

The next moment, the Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method appeared in Rhine's system rewards panel.

Along with it came a unique technique that flooded into Rhine's mind.

With the learning ability granted by the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart talent, Rhine quickly grasped the mysteries behind this method.

"So the reason Deng Chanyu's Five-Colored Stone, which could strike Immortal Gods, never missed was not merely her unique stone-throwing technique. The most crucial part was how the Five-Colored Stones were made."

"These stones don't require any special materials. Any ordinary stone will do—the key is to evenly refine the spiritual energy of the five elements into the stone."

"A stone refined this way possesses all five colors and contains all five elements. It can fly according to the principles of the five elements' circulation, which is why it never misses."

"Though its power isn't especially great, it possesses all five elements and cannot be restrained by most divine abilities and spells in the world. Even Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light couldn't sweep it away, leaving him beaten black and blue."

Having understood the key, Rhine frowned slightly.

The only way he currently had to obtain spiritual energy was the Feast on Wind and Drink Dew talent.

The spiritual energy he gained each day was not even enough to cultivate his Bronze Skin and Iron Bones physique and increase his magical strength.

Where would he find any surplus spiritual energy to refine into stones?

Not to mention that the spiritual energy of all five elements had to be balanced!

Rhine shook his head, and much of his joy at obtaining the Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method immediately faded.

Not being in the Primordial world had certainly greatly reduced the difficulty of obtaining these rewards.

But the lack of spiritual energy was also the key factor limiting their usefulness.

There were advantages and disadvantages to everything.

However, Rhine soon adjusted his mindset.

His strength was already quite formidable. Nothing at Hogwarts posed any danger to him, and it was not as though he urgently needed a combat method like the Five-Colored Stone. He could simply take it slowly.

Besides, even without Five-Colored Stones, Deng Chanyu's exclusive Hidden Weapon technique was extraordinarily exquisite and far from worthless.

Rhine grabbed a handful of pebbles and, with the intention of trying it out, threw them according to Deng Chanyu's technique.

As the first stone left his hand, a sharp howl cut through the air. The pebble shot out with such speed that it left an afterimage, striking a streetlamp by the roadside with a crisp ring.

Rhine's eyes lit up.

Compared to relying purely on the brute force of Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, this technique provided an astonishing boost to both power and accuracy.

He tried a few more times. Pebbles flew out one after another like bullets, smashing the streetlamps along the road in succession.

By the time the final pebble in Rhine's hand flew out, there were no lights left at the end of the street.

Rhine roughly estimated that the stone had traveled at least two hundred meters, and that was without him using his full strength.

If he went all out, with good visibility and the Wind Riding Talent, Rhine was even confident he could throw a pebble more than four hundred meters!

This was already his longest-range method of attack. None of his other spells could travel nearly so far.

"If I throw a pebble like this, the person hit probably won't even know where it came from."

Rhine's earlier disappointment was replaced by delight.

He also thought of another excellent use for this technique.

"If I played baseball with this pitching skill, wouldn't I be the terror of the field?"

"Wait, Quidditch seems to have a position like that too, doesn't it?"

"Chasers. They're responsible for throwing the Quaffle through the opposing hoops to score."

A smile curled at Rhine's lips.

Wouldn't using a technique from the Primordial world to throw Quaffles be too unfair to Hogwarts' young wizards?

Forget Hogwarts' internal matches—if he played in the Quidditch World Cup, he would surely become a legendary Chaser without question.

Quidditch was the most popular sport in the wizarding world. Compared to renowned scholars, Quidditch players were far more widely known.

Taking part in Quidditch could be of great help to Rhine in building connections.

From that perspective, this pebble-throwing technique really could prove quite useful.

And Rhine's shortage of spiritual energy would certainly improve in the future.

At the very least, once he arrived at Hogwarts and acquired the Essence of Sun and Moon talent from the owl Roberts, it should greatly alleviate the situation.

It might not take long before he could refine genuine Five-Colored Stones and unleash their unerring mysteries.

And Hogwarts would begin in just one day.

The Essence of Sun and Moon talent, the Staff Mastery talent, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts cultivation method were all waiting for Rhine there.

Rhine was even more eager to find out what rewards he would receive if he befriended Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and the others.

The reward for befriending old Dumbledore couldn't possibly be worse than Voldemort's, right?

Could it be something like the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Taiji Diagram, or the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda?!

As those thoughts surfaced in his mind, Rhine could barely wait to fly to Hogwarts.

"I've collected all the talents I was supposed to get..."

"Wait, doesn't it seem like I'm still missing one?"

Rhine's gaze fell upon the Enemy Relationship section.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao still hated each other bitterly. Rhine had already obtained the first-tier reward.

To obtain the second-tier Exceptional Chess Path talent, he had to beat them up three times.

A month ago, Rhine had once slipped into St Mungo's Hospital out of boredom and beaten the two goblins up again.

By now, they should have mostly recovered, right?

Missing even one talent, no matter how useless it might be, was simply intolerable to a completionist!

With that thought, Rhine mounted the Owl Flying Sword once more and flew toward St Mungo's Hospital.

Inside St Mungo's Hospital, Ragnok and the other goblin lay in their beds, both looking extremely excited.

They had already learned what had happened at Gringotts during the day.

"That means Gringotts needs more staff."

"All those vaults need to be counted again. Overtime—they'll definitely be working day and night!"

Ragnok let out a shriek, tugging at his bandages as he tried to climb out of bed.

"I cannot allow it. I've already missed too much overtime. I absolutely cannot miss this chance too."

"I haven't heard the clinking of gold coins in a month. It feels like ants are crawling all over me. Work—I have to go back to Gringotts and work!"

"Nothing can stop me. Not even the Dark Lord!"

The two goblins were practically beside themselves with excitement.

But beyond their notice, Rhine was riding the Owl Flying Sword and watching them from afar.

Previously, Rhine would have had to sneak into St Mungo's Hospital and proceed carefully to beat up the two goblins.

But now, it was much more convenient.

He grabbed a handful of pebbles and aimed at Ragnok and the other goblin.

The next moment, every pebble whistled through the air.

Ragnok and the other goblin had only just struggled out of bed, intending to return to Gringotts, when they heard the crisp sound of shattering glass.

By the time they reacted, pebble after pebble had already struck them.

With muffled groans, the two goblins fainted once more.

Looking at the Exceptional Chess Path talent he had obtained, Rhine let out a long breath.

"The exclamation mark is gone. That feels great!"

Only then did he leave St Mungo's Hospital in satisfaction.

At eight in the morning on September 1st, Hermione, who had barely slept all night, hurried out with her parents, dragging several large bags behind her.

She could not wait to see Rhine again and travel to Hogwarts with him.

What left the Granger family stunned was that an elongated luxury car—the sort used by important figures—was already parked not far from their front door.

Rhine stepped out of the car and waved at Hermione with a smile.

Hermione stood there blankly. Beside her, Mrs. Granger covered her mouth and chuckled, patting Hermione lightly.

"Little Mr. Rhine has come to pick you up, Hermione. It seems your friendship has progressed very quickly over this past month."

Only then did Hermione come back to her senses. Her face flushed bright red, but after hesitating for a moment, she lightly stamped her foot and placed her luggage in Rhine's car.

Rhine took a deep breath, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go."

"King's Cross Station!"
